Chapter 37- continued

           

          They had brought lots of materials over here.. And they were given a proper lodging by the alliance

          officials, their reputation was of that they were much respected.. So they settled in without any

          problems..

          

          What are you chanting...

          Local phrases...

          Larchen carried Fowliang to bed... And started doing his business...

          Fowliang were still studying the local language book....

          

          ....

          

          Should we hide our valuables ? This place doesn't seem safe Fowliang inquired...

          Why, do we have any enemies here ? Why would anyone hate us ? Who would have a score to settle with us ?

          It is a fact of life, sand melts into glass..

          (Whatever that supposed to mean....) I guess...          

          You realize i can hear you...

          Ehm..

          

          What about our living arrangements... 

          What do you mean ? What are you doing ?

          Are we going as a couple ? ... or just some student teacher ?

          Couple.. said Larchen, without hesitation.

          Will it going to be okay ? Fowliang asked.

          Perhaps we should consider a demonstration...

          Like what ?

          Put on your ring, let's go to dinner... at  Wulran's Place, its famous arond here..

          Expensive also..

          As i said, demonstration...

          

          ....

          

          

          

          That was fun, Fowiang said, they were walking near the river line. 

          Hurry up, Fowliang.. Larchian said as if he was in pain, coming from her pocket

          Fowliang, you are so stingy, Larchen..  It wasn't that expensive for their value..

          I guess.. Let's go..

          

          What are you doing ?

          I bought a toy..

          What is it.. Larchen asked...

          Its a story telling device.. Would you read it to me...?

          Larchen blushed.. what was with this behavior.. 

          He opened to mechanical pages, it was one of those painted page books that was merged

          with wires and connected in a way that looked large than life. Mechanial music started playing.

          Larchen started reading, Fowliang fel asleep quickly after...

          

          Ah, it was too spicy, Fowlian said next morning while they were having breakfast...

          Larchen froze like a bird, like he did last night but didn't tell anything. The farting and lumping sounds

          started after.. of course..

          I realy think there was strange in this recipe... Fowliang said..

          Larchen looked pointlessly at the wall... once again...

          

          .....

          

          Let's see your abilities, Larchen said, looking at the cadre of young fighters gathered.. around, with your 

          permission elder, he gestured respectfully towards Fowliang..

          

          The town was dependent on these small force of fighters to repel of the demonic waves, they were

          creatures from another dimensions, and there were coming from the nearby forest.. And they

          slaughtered anyone they could if they weren't fended off by these young cultivators..

          

          Alright Fowliang said..after she gouged their cultivation, we've a new policy from now on...

          

          She then casted a rune on the air. Approach and pick a rune that suits you best.

          

          The first cultivator approached excitedly, the symbol has transformed....

          

          You've ice attribute Fowliang said, then made a gesture, it flew into chest of the cultivator..

          

          ...

          

          Ah elder... I hear you've boosted our troops. The town is Busan is riddled with these demons.. 

          We'll talk abou tit later, Larchen said..

          Ah its young hero Larchen, welcome welcome...

          Larchen cusped his hands... How is the battle going ? he inquired.. the place seems un cheerful...

      

          The mayor frowned..

          Its been a hellish year.. When we asked for help, the Stone Thunderyard sect

          instead sent reinforcement to another place.. Ever since then... we've been relying on local forces,

          volunteers, adventurers and mercenaries.. We can barely get by, but the attacks are increasing in

          numbers.. even strength of creatures are increasing..

          

          Moreover, our routes have been threatened, the trade is being interrupted.. delivery of supplies are in danger..

          

          Suddenly there were alarm bells ringing...

          

          Ah, there is another attack, are you going to participate ? mayor asked..

          

          Let's see what's going on Fowliang said.

          

          ...

          

          The cultivator volunteers were being cut down by a strange man, who seems to be leading the horde....

          Some people were already burned to cinders... 

          

          So strange, what kind of fire is this Fowliang obseved.. Larchen why don't you go stop him..

          

          Its better if you do.. Larchen said..

          

          Suddenly the strange leader has unleashed an elemental area spell.. several cultivators were dead..

          

          Did you see ? its so hot.. Fowliang said..

          

          Fine i'l do it.. Larchen flew to meet the man suddenly.. He collected some cold chilly elemental energy

          and rushed into the fray.

          

          Larchen caught the burning arm of the demon leader with his hands... He was wearing gloves...

          

          The man was startled, but before it, Larchen landed a side kick with his wind god art.. The man have

          flown back several paces...

          

          Quite strong, Fowliang thought..

          

          What's your name Larchen asked...

          

          You can call me survivor of void continent.. out of time's flow

          

          (Cut the crap..)

          

          Fowliang were managing the troops, situation was quite bad... There were a massive number of demons

          this time... It appeared they came just in time, or town would be overrun... 

          Hey mayor, send your troops to the far eastern flank, its going to collapse, we'll handle the rest... She

          was quite worried, this was a hell... as any she'd seen...

          

          Ehm, elder, a sect overseer interrupted.. Don't we have some elite troops around ? Sect sent a small

          contingent after all, shouldn't we return fire ?

          

          You wanna go Fowliang asked, be my guest...

          

          Hey Larchen, sect reprentative said, i've come help you. He attacked the survivor from the flank..

          The sect representative Anbi, were also a user of fiery arts, the sparks have covered the place..

          The survivor went packing flying once again.. Anbi appeared right in the back and above of the

          survivor and smashed him down once again... Time for education in martial arts, he added.

          

          Anbi suddenly backed away, ice were coming out under his feet, he backed away further the

          ice tracking his movements, chasing behind. 

          

          The small battleground were balanced, the flags were flying on the line that two forces met. The

          lines have approached at each in orderly manner and they clashed, as battle music were heard...

          

          Anbi's was caught in the ice that followed him, and froze the air. He stopped, and picked a seal

          out of his bag, then thrown a massive spell at the survivor. Larchen opened his eyes... wow

          he said, the guy was a legend, not a petty prop official..

          

          The survivor screamed a comedic laugh, but he was in bad shape.. The name was justified only now,

          half his body was gone... he stood there like a mute, while the blood sprouted, it was difficult to

          tell if he was even aware of the situation.. He laughed, then took a seal then activated it.

          

          Run, Larchen said, he is going to detonate himself..Run,everyone he shouted.. You are all going to die..

          

          I'll see you soon, Larchen, hissed the survivor then exploded...

          

          

          Fowliang, help us, Larchen winced.. Too many will die..

          

          Are you begging me right now ? Fowliang mused..

          

          Ehm, yes.. he admitted quickly...

          

          Cause you love me ? like so hardcore

          

          I guess, he resigned..

          

          Don't worry, i'l help you. ... - But before that she interjected, Larchen's forehead was full of tears

          of bead... Before that, larchen, do you promise to take care of me while i'm asleep, to be entranched

          in this marriage, where you are enchanted, and are you okay to live with me in our cute house near

          the ocean...

          

          Yes, said Larchen.. Its not amusing, Fowliang..

          

          Elde Fowliang flew over landing on the ground in an instant. She casted a thin shield made of storms,

          right around the survivor who were pulsing violently, he has turned to a deep red color..

          

          That's not gonna be enough, Larchen said..

          

          Do you accept me as your... elder ? And yourself as average

          

          Larchen frowned, elder huh ...no..

          

          But it'd be sexy.. a gender change

          

          No...

          

          Fine, Fowliang said, i asked too much this time.

          

          How about a threesome ?

          

          Fowliang was startled... She had made him too mad, and said the wrong thing... She instantly

          regretted it... and she panicked

          

          I'll do it my own.. 

          

          Larchen, it was a joke.. a pure joke...

          

          Larchen jumped right near the survival, who were giving him a glance as if he was insane, time were slowed now.
