"Zian, are your hands made of stone? How come you can carry them with bare hands? " said Huang Guiren who was holding an armful of various fruits. And then, right beside him was Zhang Long Wei with another armful of steaming baked sweet potatoes.
"Maybe, " answered Zhang Long Wei with an absent expression. His tone was completely lacking in interest. And it was obvious that he was giving this response just out of politeness. Well, maybe it was probably not out of politeness but a warning to keep his senior's mouth shut because his tone was so cold and frosty that it could even freeze this chatterbox beside him for a minute.
Several big and small trees of eye-refreshing green were surrounding them as they walked heading towards the place where Li Qing and Zhao Xiuying were creating a barrier.
So now the question was where did the two get this many fruits and snacks? And clearly, the answer to this question was that white bandage on Zhang Long Wei's forehead itself.
Just two hours ago, these two were still in the middle of the fuming crowd. And if it were not for that village chief and Elder Yang, they could not guarantee this wound of Zhang Long Wei was the end of all problems.
Raged villagers were hurling various things in their's direction when the shield around them disappeared all of a sudden. It was not that Huang Guiren couldn't control it anymore. This kind of little shield was indeed nothing for a senior like him. It was just that Zhang Long Wei silently gestured him to stop using the shield.
At first, he thought, perhaps, the boy might have found a solution not until a stone with sharp edges was thrown right at the left eye of his junior. He hurriedly formed the shield again. Even so it was already too late. His junior dodged it but the stone still hit the boy's forehead. Crimson blood came streaming down his face which paused villagers' actions right away. And that was when two elders arrived and cleared up the situation in a hurry.
In fact, Zhang Long Wei could avoid that stone even with his eyes closed. He just want to test the villagers- to test what kind of people they were. When they hit someone innocent, would they stop their ruckus and feel guilty? Or would they gloat over his misery and continue? It was fortunate that they were the first type. Otherwise their little village would be on top of the list to be wiped out once this grest demon lord got his supreme power once again.
Of course, those crisp pears, melons and all little sorts of fruits in their hands were nothing other than apology gifts from guilty villagers. And about steaming baked sweet potatoes, they were personally given by the village head to them.
Yeah, at first, they thought of buying some breakfast for the four. But they could not guarantee that no problem would happen again if they went into the village. After all, some were still unsatisfied even after the explanation.
Huang Guiren who was fazed by his junior's reaction scratched his head and heaved a sigh.
"Zian, really... sigh..... Don't you think you've changed a lot these days? Sometimes, you can be so creepy that I got goosebumps all over. "
Zhang Long Wei only responded it with a vague smirk. Indeed, he had changed these days. But it was not how this senior described. He had turned from an aloof and tyrant character to a mild one. He calculated this might have something to do with the change of his body.
The real Li Zian was dead but he realized that, at times, his own emotions and behaviors were not of himself. According to his memories of Li Zian, he discovered that sometimes he behaved exactly like him. And it made him suspect that he was not himself anymore but a second version of Li Zian.
But not for long. Zhang Long Wei knew these were merely common symptoms at an earlier period of possessing someone else's body. Soon, this demon lord's character would be of his real self. This was just the start in his change but Huang Guiren was already saying he was creepy. No one would ever think that after this Huang Guiren faced with the final transformation of his junior's personality, he would not even dare to stand close to his junior anymore.
The smell of these steaming sweet potatoes were indeed mouthwatering. Huang Guiren could not just wait to have a taste of them.
"You know what? Now that we've got so many sweet potatoes, it makes me recall some nerd who like to eat them so much."
The chatterbox, Guiren, found another topic to talk about and said. But this junior of his was so cruel to him as he did not even bother to utter a word back.
"You want to ask me if I want to save some for him, right?" Guiren who concluded he would never get a reply from his junior in this life time asked such a question shamelessly, triumphantly proceeding his blah blah blah.
"That's not it. I'm about to say it was lucky that he's not here because if he were here, he won't even let us have a bite .....hahaha... "
Zhang Long Wei rolled his eyes and just stayed silent. From here, he could already feel the source energy of that barrier. Soon they were arriving at their destination. Granted, he really didn't want to face that annoying brother and girlfriend of his, but this was his duty and he was not someone to ignore his responsibility just because of his personal matters.
"Eek!....
Ah...Zian, look there... um there... what is that little thing from over there? "
Huang Guiren who had no empty hands hurriedly pointed at a certain direction by tilting his head. Seriously... who won't doubt that this senior was trying to distract him?
With that thought, Zhang Long Wei looked at the absolute opposite direction only to turn his eyes away instantly. Huang Guiren stealthily peeked at the boy's expression from the corner of his eyes. His brows furrowed, hot fire flaming in his eyes..... or perhaps he might not be angry but depressed. But what if his little junior was crying?
That was Huang Guiren's guess before he peeked at his junior but what he saw in reality was only an absent expression of the boy which didn't change even a bit. That was strange. Shouldn't he feel angry or disappointed after witnessing his girlfriend cheated him? No! It must be that his little junior was trying to put on a stoic surface.
"Don't get depressed, Zian. I also know how it feel like to be cheated by one's own love. Brothers of the same fate.... sigh... we do really need some luck in relationships, " said
Huang Guiren shaking his head, successfully dragging the great demon lord into his little group, "brothers of the same fate".
Zhang Long Wei who didn't feel nothing at all "... "
Okay, so what did the two see that his senior's words changed into the direction of lacking fortune in love matters? Well, it was the scene of Li Qing and Zhao Xiuying kissing which was very inappropriate for these two little immature kids. Or that was how they saw and think it.
Li Qing was down on his knee as he kissed the girl who was sitting on a stone. They could only see the back of Li Qing, so these two kids really didn't witness their kiss. Even so, what could it be other than that when those two were as close as two toys which were stuck with some glue? That was how they reached the final conclusion of "an unruly couple kissing in the daylight".
" Fuck! Just do it yourself !.... "
But then, this angered tone of Li Qing came out, attracting the gazes of two who were about to turn and stroll around for a bit to give the couple some space.
And there was the girl who was just accused of cheating her boyfriend by Huang Guiren, rubbing her eyes with tears.
" Qing-ge, help me. What if it's not just dust that got into my eyes? What if it was a bug? Qing-ge.... wuwu.. "
Huang Guiren "..... "
Zhang Long Wei ".... "
