The Dragon's Bride
14. Black Land

Reya and Liu Bei drove their horses further south.

Suddenly Reya's nose twitched uncomfortably, making the girl frown.

With two fingers, he rubbed the edges of his nose. However, the twitch did not disappear either.

Reya's forehead formed three lines. Hm... Did something happen to Aran?

"You okay?"

Liu Bei's question restores Reya's concentration.

Both of Reya's eyebrows shot up high. And the girl shook her head quickly.

He will know if he returns to the capital later, thought Reya did not bother anymore about the twitch in his nose.

Reya stared in surprise as Liu Bei reduced Ha Ha Ha's speed and stopped.

Reya had yet to open her voice to ask, Liu Bei had already explained.

"The next line is very steep. It's hard for horses to pass." explained Liu Bei as he carried Ha Ha to a nearby place where there was a lot of greenish grass that horses could eat.

"We leave the horses here to rest. In the meantime, we continue the journey on foot."

Want to argue, but it seems to be in vain, because clearly the albino knows more about the geographical area here. Without GPS and technology, Reya feels completely paralyzed in this world.

Without saying much, Reya followed Liu Bei, took Bing-Bing to a table and tied her up near Ha Ha.

Liu Bei and Reya then walked down the cliff. Although a bit steep but there is a path that seems often used by people to walk.

Until finally they stopped at the bottom of the cliff where a small river flowed.

Reya took the time to wash her face and wash her hands and feet. I also forgot to fill the bottle.

After quite a bit of fatigue, the two went back to walking. This time I climbed a hill. Not too steep, but enough to make a bad breath.

As soon as it reached the top of the hill, a dark cloud slowly crept. Preparing to spit out the source of life.

The village was not far away anymore. They need to hurry so as not to get caught in the rain.

Reya immediately accelerated. Wanna get there soon.

However, a jolt in one hand made his entire body turn and then hit something field and warm. A big arm locked it.

Whahuh? Whahuh? What is?!

Netra Reya blinked. However, a second later it turned into a strange feeling. The shame he never experienced.

For Reya this is too in.tim.

"A...pa what are you doing?" pekik Reya panicked. It could be felt that Liu Bei's warm breath tickled one ear.

"Don't move!" the corner of the gray netra glanced at Reya's glance then focused back to the front.

How can I move, fool! If you lock me up like this?

Very eager Reya curses, but a gentle movement brings Reya to move backwards.

Then subtly, even without Reya noticing Liu Bei's arm twisting Reya's body to the side with the sharp gaze of the man still fixated on one thing.

Reya prepared to scream, but when a grain of black dust like charcoal hit the edges of his fingers, the sound was stuck in the throat.

Both of Reya's eyes were rounded wide.

The dream came true!

"No way!" reya's hiss made Liu Bei slightly shift his focus.

Staring at Reya's pale face made Liu Bei's concentration disappear.

What's wrong with this boy? liu Bei thought a little astonished.

"You okay?" finally, only that word is thrown out.

Reya shakes gagu. Confused by the scene in front of him was also the expression of the albino man.

The southern village they were heading to was probably only a few dozen meters away on foot. However, somehow the village was shrouded in a strange darkness.

A gray cloud hung thickly in the sky. There was no sign of rain, and the sun was completely covered.

What made Reya's skin goosebumps was the face of the village itself.

Maybe, at first it was a cheerful village with wooden houses painted in various colors, but as if sucked his life, the face of the building in the village also has a dark aura. Not alive at all.

Faint flaming lanterns are also visible. But instead of adding light even more add gloom.

The soil and plants around are also thickly colored. As if a great fire had occurred.

Like a dead village, even though Reya's ears were able to catch the laughter of the little boy there.

It's like going to a horror and thriller movie.

Reya looked at the albino man in front of her who was suddenly already kneeling on one leg.

His ten fingers were immersed in the ground as black as before.

The golden glint was again captured by Reya in both albino eyes.

A moment after, the veins on the back of Liu Bei's hand suddenly turned blackish. Then move up to the wrist, elbow, upper arm until finally the pulse around the neck blackens.

It was a stark contrast to his pale skin.

Suddenly, Liu Bei's body trembled violently. It was as if something powerful was shaking him.

"Hey!" call Reya's thin lips.

A split second later, Liu Bei's body drifted to the side and collapsed. The pale man was unconscious.

"Yes!" reya screamed with a snapping sound.

"Plac! the plaque! the plaque!" hoping the slap will resuscitate him.

"Yeah! Don't joke with me!" furious Reya.

Aware there was still no response, Reya's two fingers pressed under Liu Bei's nose. Instantly Reya was surprised.

There was no air coming out.

Nah! Nah! Nah!

Reya's two fingers moved to the side neck. Where the large blood vessels are located. Niente.

****! I don't want to be with a dead body in the middle of nowhere!

Reya's face turned horrified.

"Yeah! An albino! Get up!" reya's palm shook the increasingly cold body.

"God!" reya's soul cries. "Should I do it in this weird place?"

Goddamnit!

It's for Reya's humanity, hang on!

With a quick movement, Reya's left hand finger clamped down on Liu Bei's pointed nose. While his right hand pulls the jaw so that the mouth is wide open.

It's for humanity! It's for humanity! Reya tried to neutralize his suddenly chaotic thoughts.

Slowly but surely Reya lowered her head, until her lips tightened and air flowed in Liu Bei's oral cavity.

After which, quickly his left palm pressed down on Liu Bei's left chest with the thrust of his right tread. Then apply strong pressure many times up to the count of ten.

Back to give air and then put strong pressure again right in the heart.

"Damn you albino!" furious Reya who started to sweat.

"I'll charge it multiple times in the future!"

Until a few minutes later, when Reya was about to give up, a quick movement in the form of a jolt made Reya's body look good.

In the blink of an eye, Reya's back hit the ground. While one pale hand Liu Bei tightly reined in Reya's neck.

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly glowed more with golden irises.

"What did you do to me, mortal?!"

Reya gave a trembling snort hearing the unusual growling sound of Liu Bei's usual voice.

Truly ungrateful man!

Reya wanted to punch a handsome face on it, but the oxygen supply in her brain dropped dramatically, weakening all the systems in her body.

As Reya prepares to accept her death, an alien voice breaks the thriller.

Side Story's

"Yeah! if you want that why not just look for lodging!"

Somehow, Liu Bei's consciousness returned. With a shocked face, the pale man immediately pulled his hand from Reya's neck. Then helped the girl stand up but was immediately pushed aside by Reya who coughed.

"Based on the youth of today." the fat mother with the pile of firewood on her back walked past Reya and Liu Bei while shaking her face in amazement at the behavior of the young people of the present generation.

"Where is the romantic! Is that mother myopic, huh?!" reya's nagging in the heart.

"I am strangled! strangled!" reya wanted to scream, but her voice was not supportive at all.

"You... It's okay, right?"

Soon Reya's eyes stared intently at the source of the voice. Making Liu Bei misbehave and feel more guilty.

"It's okay your snoring!" reya's screams finally exploded.

Liu Bei shriveled. Mimic cat face melas directly attached.

"Curtain! Now, where did you hide your psycopath face just now huh!" hissing Reya cuek then passed by Liu Bei quickly. Trying to catch up with the step of the mother carrying firewood.

Liu Bei sighed softly, strongly condemning his recklessness earlier.
