Endless Systems
Chapter 70

Eyes looking at pitch dark. The breeze was soothing to his body along with the soothing chirping of a melodious bird.

Liu Shan started to blink and opened his eyes slowly. The rays of the day that reached the highest point of the sun made his eyes dazzle.

“Uuhh..”.

Of course Liu Shan was confused by the situation. And when he opened his eyes, he was already faced by Xiao Lin who was right on top of him.

“Shan!” call Xiao Lin

“Lin’er..?” liu Shan's

Liu Shan's body still felt limp and his mind had yet to return clear. However, with what he saw it was already seen that the look on Xiao Lin's face looked very unkind.

The teary eyes seemed to want to drain the tears so hard. The trembling body was felt from the grasp of his hand as well as the thigh that was supporting Liu Shan's head.

“Thank God, you finally woke up too!”

“What happened?”

Xiao Lin rubbed his tears before falling from the eye sash. He took a deep breath as if he wanted to calm himself down. But, quite the opposite.

“Why?” asked Xiao Lin

“Eh?” sahut Liu Shan who was confused while getting up

“What are you thinking?! Fight against the Xuan lord alone and make yourself seriously injured. You think you're a god drop who can fight everyone and win easily?!”

“I... very worried to know! When the Xuan ruler explained the situation to me. If you fight him and try to protect me from the impact of the attack. To the point of making your hand almost destroyed..”.

Xiao Lin's body became increasingly shaky.  Tears that were previously wiped, are now no longer unstoppable and begin to drip profusely.

In a lifetime, Liu Shan had never seen anyone cry for him. This made him very stunned and speechless.

“Lin’er .. i-!”

“Why?!”

Xiao Lin snapped loudly as if completely enraged at him.

“Why are you protecting me?! You can run and protect yourself. Why did you have to save me again? Am I this for you?!”

Xiao Lin groaned desperately asking Liu Shan. That unclear relationship made Xiao Lin even more doubtful of himself at all times. Moreover, Liu Shan who had never opened his mouth and constantly acted to protect Xiao Lin made his feelings even more mixed up.

However, Liu Shan then regained his senses. If he can't escape again. He approached Xiao Lin and held his hand gently.

“Lin’er, listen to me.”

Xiao Lin was startled and opened his teary eyes wide at Liu Shan.

“For this long ... when I first came and healed you, I just thought that it was just my duty. With the ability that I have, I think that I really should be helping others”

“But, although the new time is short and we have just spent time together. I felt that there was something inside me that didn't want to see you get hurt from anything. If I see you hurt, then I myself will blame myself continuously. Although it should be paid for with one or two of my limbs, I would be willing if it was for the sake of protecting you.”

Xiao Lin was stunned silent when he heard Liu Shan's remark. He could not reply, and was even more stunned with each of his words.

While Liu Shan himself began to raise his hand and wipe the tears on his face.

“I'm sorry. I don't know what to say, but at least that's how I feel,” Liu Shan murmured.

Xiao Lin took a breath and tried to calm himself down. Her tears were wiped out completely, her grim countenance replaced with a warm smile while raising Liu Shan's cheeks.

“Shan.”

The two stared at each other. Milk-white skin and beautiful glittering eyes looked full of meaning. The eyes, nose, hair, as well as lips, all in Liu Shan's eyes back then looked extremely beautiful. Same with Xiao Lin.

The two of them slowly approached. Faces that start to touch get closer and lips want to touch each other.

But …

“Sorry to disturb your good mood, but isn't this still in the middle of training?”

The sound clearly disturbs the atmosphere. They both regained consciousness and immediately pulled back their faces that were flushed with embarrassment.

On the other hand, Liu Shan withdrew his gaze and looked towards the direction the voice was coming from. There was Xuan Wudan with his giant body who looked at them with an irritating look.

“Ka-you-!”

Liu Shan's alarmed feeling as he gazed towards Xuan Wudan still did not subside. He who only knew that Xuan Wudan wanted him dead, immediately stood up and let out a powerful Kinya aura.

Wosch!!

However, Xuan Wudan did not look interested in going back to fighting with him.

“That's enough. I'm not interested in your life anymore.”

Liu Shan's eyes widened strongly upon hearing Xuan Wudan's words. While Xiao Lin pulled a bit of his clothes to make Liu Shan turn towards him.

“Shan, trust.”

The words from Xiao Lin made Liu Shan try to be sure that what Xuan Wudan said was true. The entire aura Ki exuded out of his body instantly vanished instantly.

“Why?” ask Liu Shan.

“Please say that you do not deserve to be killed,” replied Xuan Wudan.

“It sounds suspicious,” said Liu Shan with a doubtful look.

“As of you. But, that is my decision.”

Xuan Wudan turned around and walked away leaving the two of them with a vague answer. This left Liu Shan feeling astonished at him.

“Hei!” shouted Liu Shan.

“Shan, stop! Don't make ruler Xuan angry again!” yoho Xiao Lin.

Liu Shan immediately calmed himself down and tried to calm down.

“I understand. Come!” said Liu Shan.

“Ya!” said Xiao Lin while nodding.

The two of them directly walked into the forest to pass through the other side and complete the training.

Whereas on the other hand, Xuan Wudan withdrew his gaze again and gazed towards the two of them.

“(Liu Shan yes. Haishe was right, that child was indeed truly unique. The nature, determination, physical ability and energy Ki has felt much different than other humans. As if, he was from the god realm)”

A flash of memory flashed inside Xuan Wudan's head. A place so quiet and holy, filled by himself and also three other wind-eye gods. Among the four of them was a creature standing in the middle.

When Xuan Wudan recalled that, he looked intently at her as if confident of himself.

“(If the prophecy is indeed true, then Liu Shan. The path you walk will be filled with blood and nightmare tragedy. I hope when it comes, you'll be able to get through it. And I will wait for you to come back and establish a contract)”
