Chapter 205: All Here [Part 2]
They chatted and laughed, occasionally revealing embarrassing details about each other . The atmosphere at least was pretty great . No one tried to bring up the complicated situations or the records that were best kept hidden on their own accord .
In reality, it wouldn’t take long before everyone here figured out everyone’s records after this gathering . With their level of abilities, they were at least capable of figuring out some rough rumors or news even if the detailed secrets were out of reach .
They were on the military’s domain, so they didn’t dare to go too overboard . They merely ate, drank, chatted and laughed in relaxation even as they felt at ease to have each other . After all, the current situation was rather chaotic, and it was all too easy for any lone forces to be turned into cannon fodders . No matter how high one managed to climb up a mountain, the risk of falling was always there, not to mention a fall in the current situation would be pretty much permanent .
Everyone stuffed themselves quite full this dinner, and the burdens in their heart were settled if just a little . They drank a little too much, so Lung sent someone to escort them back to their places . Pian Huo took on the guys on a drinking contest and defeated both of the two media giant young masters, and after that they started calling each other’s ‘bros’ . Cillin had no idea if Peneus and Fen Yuzuo knew that Pian Huo was a woman who had disguised herself as a man, but the ‘bro’s came of their mouths smoothly regardless .
Pian Huo herself had drunk herself silly, and thankfully some of them knew that Pian Huo was in fact a woman at least . If her identity were to be exposed then things would turn out quite embarrassing . Qi Geyou could already imagine Fire Phoenix’s wrath in his head . He supposed he should just avoid Pian Huo for the next few days .
Yu Linglung sat on her wheelchair with a slightly lowered head . She didn’t summon anyone to aid her . Instead, she said to Cillin, “Send me back, will you?”
“Sure . ”
Cillin himself wasn’t going to ask Lung for an escort to send him home, so he decided to send Yu Linglung on her way . He told Lung to send the gray cat back since that fellow was going to supervise the fish biscuit’s delivery anyway .
They hadn’t used a flying car . The area Yu Linglung was staying in wasn’t too far away, and she didn’t want to ride on a flying car . She asked Cillin to push her out for a walk .
By now, the night sky had already visited this area and brought its chill with it . The day and night difference of temperature was a little larger than the norm .
Unlike the terrain where the Hunter regiments were located, the natural sceneries here were a lot better . He hadn’t taken more than a few steps when they saw a brook . Cillin could sense the life swimming inside the brook beneath the rocky ground .
There was a classical stone bridge not far away from where they stood, but Yu Linglung suggested that they walk through the brook directly .
The brook wasn’t even knee deep, so drowning wasn’t a concern .
“Your legs are still in recovery . They can’t touch water . ” Cillin said .
“It’s fine, the healing device on my legs are water proof . ”
Yu Linglung stood up as she said this and pressed a button on her wheelchair . The wheelchair folded on its on and floated a meter away from Yu Linglung . Her legs were a little stiff after sitting for an extended period of time, so she held onto Cillin’s arm as she got up and walked forwards slowly .
As one might expect, a rich man’s place demanded many particulars . Although the place’s security system was well done, a lot of effort was put into maintaining its natural appearance . They could even hear some cries of insects .
Neither of them spoke a word . When they reached the edge of the water, Cillin paused his footsteps and slowly crouched downward . He rolled Yu Linglung’s almost ground level skirt up to her knees and tied a knot there . This way, the skirt wouldn’t be drenched by the water, and would serve to protect her knees as well . The night was a little cold, and the brook water was even colder . A recovering patient should take good care of their joints .
Yu Linglung could feel that her face was very warm . A thin blush had appeared on both her cheeks, although the night sky did very well to conceal it from view . Still, it was obvious how she was feeling from her bright, gently smiling eyes .
Yu Linglung bowed her head and watched as Cillin worked on her skirt . Due to her background, Yu Linglung had always looked down on others with terrific pressure and displayed the unique pride that only the little princess of the Yu Family possessed . But although the downward gaze she assumed now was of a similar angle, her feelings and expressions were completely different .
“Are you cold?” Cillin looked up and asked after he was done dying the knots around Yu Linglung’s long skirt .
Yu Linglung stared blankly at Cillin for a little while upon hearing his inquiry . She then shook her head softly and raised a small smile . She looked like she was still a young and inexperienced girl, and not the little princess Yu who drove Lung insane from time to time .
Cillin rolled up his own trousers and tossed his shoes to the other side of the brook . He slowly walked into the brook while holding Yu Linglung’s hand .
Cillin entered the brook first and walked around once before he supported Yu Linglung into the water .
The cold stream dissipated much of the alcohol driven heat . He could feel the fishes inside the brook pecking at his feet .
Still, the planet’s night was colder than he expected . Cillin tested the waters and found that it was only about 5 to 6 °C . Even if Yu Linglung’s healing device was waterproof, it was likely to be somewhat detrimental .
Cillin allowed Yu Linglung to hold onto him and walk about a meter’s distance in the brook . When they were almost 10 meters away from the opposite bank, he paused his footsteps once more .
Cillin crouched down and said, “Alright, you’ve had your novel experience . Come up, I’ll carry you over . The water’s cold, and it will be bad for your recovery if you catch a chill . ”
“Okay . ” Yu Linglung answered obediently .
If those who knew of Yu Linglung and her dominant attitude well were to see her right now, their eyeballs would be rolling all over the floor .
Yu Linglung sat her head on Cillin’s shoulders as she lay on Cillin’s back . For some reason, she felt at ease as she listened to their breathings and the insect cries around them .
Cillin carried Yu Linglung on his back and took step after step towards the opposite bank .
Yu Linglung touched the cord around Cillin’s neck once and asked, “What are you wearing?”
“A person . ” Cillin answered .
Yu Linglung’s movements stopped, and she no longer pried into the matter .
Disputes are meaningless between those who are living, and those who are dead . Yu Linglung understood this, which was why she didn’t try to fight on this subject . However, she couldn’t help but hold Cillin’s neck a little tighter .
Ten meters of distance was crossed pretty quickly .
Alright, little princess . It’s time to come down . ”
Yu Linglung curled her lips in disappointment and climbed down reluctantly . The folded wheelchair dropped back to the ground and unfolded back to normal .
Cillin helped her up the wheelchair and used his sleeves to wipe the water beads on her legs . He then untied the knots around her knees so that the skirt would cover her legs . Lastly, he adjusted the temperature maintenance device on the wheelchair .
Cillin pushed the wheelchair to where Yu Linglung had told him to go . There was a team waiting for her already when they approached that area . None of them walked up to her, however . They obviously knew her temperament very well .
Cillin pushed the wheelchair all the way to the other side and passed the wheelchair to the person who would take over his role . However, Yu Linglung turned her wheelchair around and stared quietly at Cillin instead . Although she said nothing, her eyes were obvious expecting something .
Cillin sighed, “Give me your hand . ”
Yu Linglung’s eyes turned into crescents, and she swiftly extended her hand .
Cillin put a large, green pearl into Yu Linglung’s hand . It emanated a gentle, green light beneath the twilight that made everyone feel full of vitality .
Yu Linglung could feel the warmth and the life force from this green pearl seeping into her palm . Her breathing had become a lot smoother than it was before . Naturally, she knew that this pearl was extremely precious . At the very least, even she, the little princess Yu hadn’t seen such a special pearl until today .
“This is my gift to you . It is beneficial for your health and recovery . ”
“Thank you!” Yu Linglung held the green pearl in her hands and exclaimed happily .
“I’m the one who should be thanking you . ”
To this day Cillin didn’t understand exactly what Yu Linglung had seen in him, but he did know that Yu Linglung had helped him both overtly and covertly many times while he was working in the Sixth B Squadron . In fact, some of the aid she gave him was unknown to him even now .
When he saw Yu Linglung’s childlike expression, Cillin extended a hand and rubbed Yu Linglung’s head like how he rubbed Tang Qiuqiu’s .
The jaws of the team behind Yu Linglung dropped . They couldn’t believe their eyes!
H-h-h-h-h-h-h-he’s rubbing little princess Yu’s head! And the most unbelievable part is that little princess Yu is actually looking shy!
“Rest early when you head back . ”
“Mm . ”
Cillin turned back and walked away once he bid Yu Linglung goodbye, but he hadn’t extended his hoverboard and flown away immediately . Outsiders were currently forbidden from flight in this area, and he would be shot like a dog by the hiding bodyguards and robots if he tried .
Cillin walked until he could no longer see the Yu Family’s people any longer before looking up to the sky . Then, he pointed a middle finger .
At a certain spot high up in the sky, there was a little round ball floating and capturing everything that was going on there . The little round ball was linked to one of the rooms of Lung’s leisure center, and Lung, Knight and Ci Jincheng were currently hugging the monitor and staring at it .
When they saw the big middle finger on the screen, all three of Cillin’s colleagues swore unanimously, “F*CK!”
“How did he find out?” Lung was puzzled .
“His senses are crazy!” Knight said .
Ci Jincheng didn’t say anything . He was pondering what went wrong with the supposedly covert peep attempt . This camera was hovering at an altitude that could hardly be seen with the naked eye, not to mention that it was nighttime already . So how exactly did Cillin manage to find it out?
Cillin had no idea how puzzled the trio were, but he knew that they wouldn’t stay quiet from the moment he pushed Yu Linglung out of the door .
Lung and friends weren’t the only party who was monitoring them, but those people’s attempts hadn’t gone nearly as smoothly as theirs . They were often disrupted by an unknown signal courtesy of Czedow .
Cillin arrived at a border of several neighboring forces . This was a neutral territory where many people were flying across . Even if it was very late now, there were still plenty of hoverboards and flying cars flying about .
Cillin cast a glance at the brook where he had carried Yu Linglung across just now before extending his hoverboard, jumping on it and flying towards the Vanguard’s territory .
A while after Cillin had left, the amount of people in this neutral territory gradually decreased . It took at least ten minutes or so before a flyer flew by .
