Chapter 838: Ming’er Wakes Up
Somewhere on the demon continent, two flames were flickering on the walls of a chamber which slightly lit up an otherwise completely dark chamber.
On a raised platform, a dark-skinned, and red lips female was sitting cross-legged, unmoving with his eyes closed. The only reason anyone would be able to discern her gender was thanks to her slightly bulging chest, otherwise she looked no different than a male.
Wuuu!
Fwoosh!
Suddenly, her eyelids flung open and revealed two pitch black eyes with no pupils. The moment they did, a chilling air seemed to fill the chamber and the flickering flames were snuffed out.
“Someone destroyed one of my curses?” Her hoarse voice echoed before she closed her eyes to read the memories that were sent to her before the curse was destroyed.
“A mere fledging mage and he possesses not one but two unique energies? How interesting! It seems I have to make another trip to the human continent.”
…
After Max left the room, Ling Han stayed on the ground. He was really apologetic.
His parents had always taught him not to cause someone else trouble and he had tried not to do it all his life.
But now…
Rustle!
Just as he was feeling bad, he heard the faint rustling of the bed sheet and hurriedly jumped to his feet, his heart pounding in his chest as he looked at Ming’er’s who was stirring awake.
As he watched, Ming’er’s eyelashes fluttered gently and she slowly tried to open her eyes but the sudden brightness made her squint.
Ling Han looked around anxiously, wanting to lower the brightness of the room but his mind was a mess right now, so he just stood there.
It took Ming’er some time before she finally opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
Immediately, a sense of unfamiliarity washed over her and she realized she wasn’t in her room.
Suddenly feeling nervous, she called out in a soft voice, “Big Brother…” While trying to move her head to look around.
Ling Han froze, body and mind, when he heard her voice and before he knew it, tears started streaming down his eyes.
How desperately he longed to hear her voice in the years she had been unconscious? He couldn’t quantify it but it had become his sole wish. So, now that he finally heard it and saw she was fine, he could suppress his emotions no longer and let the dam break.
Who the fuck said men didn’t cry? They do, they do for the people they love.
Swoosh!
He appeared beside her and gently held her hand, “I’m here, Ming’er, Big Brother is here. Don’t be nervous.”
Ming’er slowly turned her head around and looked at him, “Big Brother…” She called out, a radiant smile appearing on her face.
But then her still groggy mind registered that he was crying and she tried to raise her hand to wipe his tears but wasn’t able to do it due to the lack of energy. So, she panicked, and her eyes moistened as she cried.
“Don’t cry Big Brother. I’m fine. I’ll soon be healthy again.”
“Okay. I won’t cry.” Ling Han smiled and hugged her. Ming’er wanted to hug him back but since she had no energy she just tilted her head toward his shoulder.
But then after a few moments, she said, “Big Brother…”
“Yes, Ming’er?” Ling Han asked.
“You… are heavy. I can’t breathe.” She complained.
“…”
Ling Han blinked before he sat up properly, coughing lightly, “Sorry, I forgot you are still very weak.”
Ming’er’s lips curled up into an innocent smile, “Ming’er knows, Big Brother.” She then asked, “Where are we?”
Ling Han wiped his face and said, “We are currently in an Inn.”
“An Inn? Why?” She asked,
“Let me tell you everything that happened after you fell unconscious…” Saying this, he began speaking.
Except for the hardships he suffered all these years, he told her everything, including how the town became a casualty in a battle between Monarchs and how they had left. Of course, he also told her about Max, who removed her curse.
Ming’er remained silent for a while after he finished.
Then she murmured, “So, someone put a curse on me and I was unconscious for over four years. Big Brother tried to find a way to heal me but failed. But then you managed to activate our ancestral tower and then eventually found this person, Max, who became the owner of the tower and in return he removed the curse.”
“Yeah.” Ling Han nodded but then he put on a stern look on his face and said, “But don’t call this ’this person’ or call him by his name. He is our benefactor and should be addressed with respect.”
Ming’er averted his gaze and muttered, “What benefactor? He is just a greedy person who used the opportunity to take our ancestral treasure away.”
“Ming’er…” Ling Han called out, but then sighed seeing her acting like a rebellious child.
Gently caressing her head, he coaxed, “You are already 18 years old Ming’er, an adult. You should be sensible and try to understand things instead of being so unreasonably stubborn.”
Ming’er hesitated for a moment before she lightly nodded. “Mm, I’ll try to not hate him.”
Ling Han sighed and said, “You know while trying to erase your curse, Young Master was cursed, but he still didn’t get angry.
As for the matter of the tower, without a new owner, the tower spirit would have died and it would have become junk. Besides, I was the one who offered it to him so he could become its owner and the tower spirit could remove your curse.”
Ming’er finally turned to him after hearing this and said, “I understand, Big Brother. I won’t act rudely.”
“Good girl.” Ling Han smiled fondly and said, “You rest. Let me go get you something nourishing to eat. You are too weak right now and need to recover.”
“Mm.” Ming’er nodded and Ling Han left the room.
Just as he walked out of the Inn,
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed toward his neck.
Ling Han’s pupils constricted and he tried to dodge.
While Ling Han was just a Four Star mage and his combat power wasn’t too extraordinary, his instincts, reflexes and movement technique which he inherited from his grandfather were top-notch.
He could escape even a King Mage with some luck, but at this moment, he felt helpless in front of this simple grab of the figure which seemed to have blocked all his paths of escape.
Realizing he wouldn’t be able to escape, he focused on his spatial ring, wanting to connect with his communication crystal and send Max a message, but before he could even form his mana sense, he blanked out.
Sitting in his room, lost in thoughts, Max suddenly felt a ripple in his bloodline sense, but it was so fleeting that before he could grasp it, it had vanished.
“What was that?” He furrowed his brows, but then shook his head.
…
Ling Han regained consciousness and found himself in a dark room.
’Where am I?’ He thought before checking his body. Immediately, he realized his mana core and veins were sealed.
Swoosh!
Right then, someone appeared in front of him, but no matter how he looked, he wasn’t able to see their features.
