The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 96 - Worry

"Hahaha..see that stupid face of yours, you look like a 5-year-old boy in front of a 20-year-old woman, hahaha.." Hua Mulan laughed, it made Zhi Yuan even more annoyed and grumbled.

"aah. I regret asking that stupid question," murmured Zhi Yuan.

"hahaha.. do you want her too?

remember your crazy words back then? are you flirting with a pubescent boy like me? I still remember your annoying words well, maybe if someone else said like that I would directly slap her, but I saw your eyes, you know, there's no lust in your eyes when you look at me, it makes you different from other men, and I've never worried about sleeping alone in one house like I do today," hua Mulan.

The two looked like happy lovers, occasionally Hua Mulan pulled the fine hair of Zhi Yuan, due to the spicy words of the young man who was still upset, she said, the woman stared for so long at Zhi Yuan's face there was something as warm as when the young man put the ring on his index finger, and the woman looked at the ring again.

Hua Mulan gulped down the contents of her cup, but her face this time looked different, there was a hint of worry in the beautiful eyes of the woman, the happy atmosphere changed drastically to somber.

"Zhi Yuan, are you going to leave me, when I receive the badge? I think about it all the time, the nightmare of my every night, the thread that sews all my smiles, me.... I-i..." Hua Mulan was unable to continue her words, a voice sounded soft and like it was full of fear.

Zhi Yuan nodded, though,

"I won't lie to you mistress, but I also have a life of my own" Zhi Yuan said, making the woman close her eyes while gulping her saliva.

"Thank you for being honest, I understand Zhi Yuan, you can't be as long as it helps me, and there will be times when you leave me," the woman rubbed both of her cheeks with the back of her hand, and the lips folded inward.

"But that badge is very dangerous for my safety and my current son, other than the two of you people near me right now there is nothing I can trust, give us another year, save the thing now, ta-pi when I receive it, go quietly, don't say goodbye to me, because I will definitely hug you until the end," Hua Mulan said, her face again looked sad,

The woman raised her face to stem her tears,

"Aahh... These tears are so annoying, and you have to be honest? eenghh.." the woman's words came to a halt, and smiled once forced, leaving Zhi Yuan.

Since that night Hua Mulan began to keep her distance from Zhi Yuan, and that morning when Zhi Yuan was going to look for difficult herbs inside the forest, the woman forbade him.

"you don't need to go to the forest anymore Zhi Yuan" Hua Mulan said.

The young man's eyebrows shot up like asking,

"You no longer need to do that task, no matter how you go, I have to get used to it without you, and work on it myself, after all there are many farmers who sell forest herbs to me," hua Mulan.

Zhi Yuan simply nodded, and stepped into the backyard of the house, the young man began to think about the plan next year when he left the house.The work commonly done by Zhi Yuan has now been taken over by his workers, the young man is more focused on learning to handle people for treatment, he said, practicing mixing potions, the young man like him had never practiced any fighting techniques or increased his cultivation again.

The two now looked rarely together, even when eating Zhi Yuan already missed him more often, his cultivation in the eighth level king realm made him not feel hungry despite not eating for a few days, Zhi Yuan wanted to help Hua Mulan get used to her without her.

In contrast to Hua Mulan, her face looked so moody, even when Li Buya was staying over the woman looked empty, and not as excited as usual.

That day there was a middle-aged woman coming from a quite respectable family, Hua Mulan conversed quite warmly with the middle-aged woman.

"My camera?" hua Mulan asked looking at the middle-aged woman with widened eyes.

"hahaha.yes, sister Hua.. My daughter has come many times at once for treatment, My daughter says her hands have been held by your son, they look quite harmonious, she said, I knew your son was still so innocent and didn't know how to treat women so sweetly, so I came to want to talk about their matchmaking, if the two of them were so shy and slow, we as parents have to move quickly, aaahhh, I can't wait to have grandchildren" said the middle-aged woman.

Hua Mulan was already unable to focus on the woman's words, her normally cold face looked tense, tense,

"My son is plain? what grandchild?" hua Mulan murmured shut her eyes deeply, both of her teeth docked.

Hua Mulan held onto her forehead, her breathing slightly wheezed, her chest felt tight, yet she was a little happy to know if Zhi Yuan treated the other woman coldly as usual.

"Hua sister are you okay? ask the middle-aged woman.

"Madam..we talk about this later, my head suddenly hurts, I need a break, Zhi Yuan aahhh. No, Miss Yun this Mistress forward," hua Mulan shouted so loudly, that the middle-aged woman was a little frightened, and one of the Hua Mulan workers came to escort the middle-aged woman out of their house.

Hua Mulan continued to shout furiously towards everyone,

"Aahh... I've never been like this? why was I so angry when I heard that a girl was approaching her?" inner Hua Mulan.

The two of them were already sitting in Zhi Yuan's room.

"You perverted brat, did you hold the hand of the Princess earlier huh?" ask Hua Mulan.

"Mrs... Did you come into my room just to talk about this stupid thing?" ask Zhi Yuan.

"Ja-di you didn't like that lady's daughter?" hua Mulan asked again, her attitude was very different from before.

Zhi Yuan took a breath,

"If nothing matters, I want to learn," said Zhi Yuan not answering Hua Mulan's question, and the young man shrugged both of her shoulders making her stand up, making the woman freeze slightly lowered her face, and Zhi Yuan pushed Hua Mulan's back to get out of her room.

"a-pa? z-hi.. rotten boy what are you doing? I'm not done talking yet" shouted Hua Mulan.

"No.. wait... From now on you can't handle a medicated woman again, even a grandmother once, do you understand? and also don't get too close to my two female workers" cried Hua Mulan who was only talking to the door of Zhi Yuan's already closed room.
