The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 39. DAWAI VALLEY

Andri and Maria led the way to Maria's house followed by Tang Xiao and Denas. The four of them walked through small forests and small villages. Along the way, more of them are silent than they are talking. Only occasionally do they joke around asking each other the origin.

Andri the black-robed young man like Tang Xiao came from the Gama Empire of the Land Of Soul continent. He was on this continent for running away from home for one secret reason. While Denas is a traveling swordsman who runs in no direction and just follows his heart. Even so among the three of them, only Denas whose cultivation was in the realm of one-star Experts.

"Brother Denas at this young age you will be the target of the giant sects of the world if they hear about you." Said Tang Xiao who walked hand in hand with Denas behind Andri and Maria.

"I did deliberately hide my strength but did not expect Brother Tang to be able to know for sure. I just don't want to be constrained by one rule. I wanted to travel in search of experience until I reached the peak of strength. That's my determination." Reply Denas while fanning the fan.

"What about your family?" Ask Tang Xiao again.

"They were against my will but I didn't care and I ran away from home." Answer Denas lightly.

"Well... I didn't expect to meet two people who ran away from home."

"Then you yourself how is your family?" Ask Denas back.

Tang Xiao looked at the sky and smiled. He raised his cry and pointed it at the sky.

"There. My parents saw me from there from heaven there ten years ago." Tang Xiao replied.

Denas raised his head following Tang Xiao's index finger. He was stunned to hear the answer of the handsome young man beside him. He became guilty.

"Sorry I don't know...." Denas said regretfully.

"No need to apologize you're innocent. I have to get used to this lonely life." Tang Xiao replied lightly smiling widely.

"You're not alone." Quick reply Denas.

"Yes..." Tang Xiao asked confusedly.

"There's still me, Andri and Maria here. We can be your family." Denas said pointing his index finger at his chest.

Tang Xiao stopped walking. He faced Denas and looked at him. He held both Denas shoulders.

"Do you really want to be my brother?" Tang Xiao asked as he brought his face closer to Denas's.

Denas who was treated like that became nervous. Her face flushed.

"Eh move aside I'm not a woman why look at me like that. Don't come near I don't like same sex." Denas replied distancing his face and releasing Tang Xiao's hand from his shoulder.

"Jawab first my question?"

"It depends on how you treat it well." Denas replied as he walked away from Tang Xiao.

"Heey wait for me." Tang Xiao said following Denas.

"All right, brother Denas, do not betray our brotherhood. Promise me." Said Tang Xiao as he raised his little finger in front of Denas.

"I can't promise. Maybe I should betray the brotherhood because of the path I had to take. But I promise, as long as I'm here you'll never feel alone. And be a good brother to me." Reply Denas linked his little finger with Tang Xiao's riveting finger.

"I promise you too." Said Andri suddenly joined in linking his little finger to Denas and Andri's finger.

"So what are you doing. What promise, brother?" Asked Maria who had been standing at the side staring at the three of them.

"Oh this is the promise of Maria's adult son. As a daughter, you don't need to know. Let's continue the journey." Andri answered quickly while holding Mari on her shoulders. Among them was indeed Andri who had the largest and most stocky body with the cultivation level of the nine-star Grand Master realm just like Tang Xiao. His physical strength had already exceeded that of a Grand Master realm cultivator. While Tang Xiao has an athletic body and proportional and sturdy. While Denas is the smallest and the leanest among them. Even so, his cultivation was the highest that was the realm of one-star Experts.

This time, the four of them were traveling by running. Andri who carried Maria on her shoulders like she had no burden. Running and jumping is still fast and far as usual.

"By the way brother Tang, what kind of sparrow is that perched on your head? It looked unusual and I felt a terrible force from the bird." Ask Denas on the sidelines of their trip.

"Ah this bird I found it starving on the edge of the forest as it was about to enter the city where we met earlier. I gave her a little food and she kept following me until she didn't want to go anywhere. I named it the Seven-Color Pipit." Tang Xiao replied.

"Pff... Haha... His name is strange. Can't you just give me a good name." Denas's ejek covered his mouth with his fan.

"Haha.. Do you have a good name?"

"How about Xiao Nao? Or Xiao Hai?"

"Ah, let me think of her name later" Tang Xiao replied briefly. Denas closed his mouth and held back a laugh.

"Master, you can rightly say I'm a starving little bird." The Crow grouse on Tang Xiao's head did not accept himself was said to be a starving little bird.

"I am the Crow ruler of the largest forest on the continent. Mytichal Beast Half - Saint. It could be called a starving little bird." The Crow grouse.

"Hehehe. How about it again. Rather than your identity being caught lying a little lie" Tang Xiao replied in a cry.

Shortly after, Tang Xiao and his friends stopped at a small house near a small forest. The most end of the house itself from the nearest village.

Maria immediately came down from Andri's shoulders and ran quickly to her hut while carrying the medicine bottle she was carrying from the small base of the Mountain Bandit. Andri, Denas and Tang Xiao followed the little girl.

Tang Xiao looked surprised at the condition of Maria's grandfather who was weak in bed. Their bodies were thin as if they had never eaten. It's just that their condition is a little well-groomed maybe because of all this time Maria's care.

Denas tried as much as possible to hold his anger to see the condition of the old parents. He blamed the villagers who did not know about their next-door neighbors who were in desperate need of help. Tang Xiao who understood Denas' emotions tried to calm down.

"Brother Denas calm down a little lest you make a row here."

"How could I possibly calm down when I think of the villagers who have no mercy and help their fellows." Denas said trembling withstanding his anger. He was eager to destroy the entire village.

"Well... Brother Denas it seems like you are not used to this kind of wild and outside world. This world is like this. We can't blame one side for the other. Who knows with you ravaging this village there are small children and old innocent elderly who were injured and even killed. Remember not to just follow your feelings, try to think more clearly and more calmly so as not to cause problems and prolonged regret." Tang Xiao replied holding Denas' shoulder.

Denas became calmer. He pondered at Tang Xiao's words. Maybe he did see it from his feelings without thinking about the problems he would bring in in the future.

"Thank you brother Tang. It's the right choice to be your brother" Denas replied with a sweet smile.

"Hey you two why are you still there? Take a look at their condition brother Tang. Aren't you a medical expert?" Andri's voice stopped Tang Xiao's conversation with Denas. Tang Xiao hurried over to the old couple who had taken the medicine Maria had given him. There are no better signs than before. Tang Xiao sighed.

"Can Maria's grandparents still be helped?" Ask the girl with teary eyes.

"Just calm down as long as big brother Tang is here even the God of Death won't be able to take the lives of Maria's grandparents." Tang Xiao replied with a smile stroking Maria's hair. Andri and Denas smiled in relief at Tang Xiao's words. They had felt shocked to hear Tang Xiao's analysis of the illness of these two old couples. They know exactly how dangerous Pneumonia is. Perhaps for this reason the villagers did not care about this old couple. Yet right now they only believed in Tang Xiao who spoke confidently.

Tang Xiao took out a pill from his soul room. Then the pill was halved. Tang Xiao sat on the edge of the bed raising Grandfather's head slowly then stuffed the pill into the old Grandpa's mouth then drank it hear the water. After that Tang Xiao did the same to the grandmother next to him.

Soon slowly but clearly visible, the condition of the two old couples gradually changed. The originally pale skin now looked radiant. Cheeks that initially look concave little by little begin to contain. So also with their thin bodies crepins little by little began to contain as before. Their hair that was white full of gray hair, back in jet black was even nicer than before.

This change made everything in the house look in disbelief. An incredible medical miracle.

The two old couples slowly opened their eyes. They looked shocked to see some young people were looking at the two of them with a look of disbelief. Maria who saw her grandparents healed immediately embraced them.

"What's going on here? Why is it as if I am full of energy and healthy as ever." Old Grandpa asked looking towards the three handsome young men he had never seen before.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Grandfatherbiscuts.. What's with you? What's going on?" Shouted granny surprised from behind grandfather. The old man looked back and his eyes were wide in disbelief at his wife.

"grandmother.. Is this really you? Why would.... Why do you look young and beautiful?" Old man asked in disbelief and was half surprised.

"What's? I'm back young? You're also grandpa why do you look young?" I looked back at my old grandmother holding both of her faces.

......................

Meanwhile somewhere else, a portal suddenly appeared. Out of her were two beautiful girls looking around.

"Sister Yan how did it go?" Ask one of the two of them to the other.

"Huffs... The trail of the young miss suddenly disappeared from here. I don't know what secret techniques the lady used to eliminate her tracks and her hawks." Replied the person called Yan while complaining.

"Indeed the young lady who deserves to be the successor of the clan. He was stronger than the Patriarch as a young man." Reply to his friend who asked.

"It looks like there's some one-man troupe who's going through here how we're trying to ask this place." Said the girl named Yan when she sensed that there was a group of people pointing at them.

"Good capsule." Briefly answer his friend named Elder Lan.

The two elders covered their faces with a veil so as not to cause any bigger problems. Human nature is greedy when looking at worldly beauty. The two elders stood waiting for the group that was moving fast.

"Stoppp's." Shouted a young man to his entourage as he saw two veiled women riding white horses standing not far in front of them. The man took a few steps forward and looked alert. He did not know of their cultivation realm which meant that the two veiled women were not just any women.

"Greetings to seniors. Can we help you?" Ask the young man politely. He gestured to the people behind him so that no one would come close.

"Include my name Yan and this is my sister named Lan. We were lost and separated from the entourage as we passed through the country. Where exactly is this area?" Lan replied asking a question.

"Right now we are in the Gem Empire. This place is called the Valley of the Wire. We are the trade caravans who want to the Golden Empire. We are from the Water Kingdom one of the kingdoms that are under the auspices of the Gem Empire." Answer the man.

"What's your name then?" Ask elder Lan.

"I'm named Hanzho chairman of this trade caravan."

The two elders stared at each other then nodded. Elder Lan took out a bag of money then passed it to Hanzho.

"That's a bag of jewels and let us follow your race." Said Elder Yan.

Hanzho accepted with sparkling eyes. Even if he had a few gold pieces, he would have allowed the two women to come along with a bag of priceless gems. But he seems doubtful.

"May I ask my lady for permission first? He's an elder from our trade caravan. All decisions are in his hands."

"Please." Lan replied briefly.

"no need. You've been allowed. You two can also rest inside here because it's still spacious." Replied a woman from the tent who was behind the man who pulled four Mytichal Beast-type powers.

"Yes, we'll think about it later. Thanks for the offer, miss." Reply elder Yan politely. She felt that the female voice in the carriage was still a girl around the young lady they were looking for.

The merchant caravans also departed to continue their journey. They drive horses fast.

"We have to hurry before the sun goes down. It's dangerous to have the night and we haven't come out of this Valley of the Wire." Hanzho replied when asked why he had to rush.

Tetuan Lan and Yan only silently heard Hanzho's reply. They understood his fear of bringing along the trade caravans who were on business trips. Moreover, most of them were just ordinary humans not cultivators.

The sun began to sink in the western horizon. The red spray beautifully adorned the twilight sky. The birds fly back to their nests.

The dusk, the density of the horse is getting louder. Concerns began to show on Hanzho's face. "Ah shit. There are still a few more kilos to come out of this cursed valley. Why do we have to be shit this time." Inner Hanzho was upset. He was still racing his horse tightly followed by his men from behind. He did not care about the gazes of the two women who kept looking at him confused.

"Isn't it common for traders who do business far and wide down the street?" Ask elder Lan.

"Yes it's like this. But at least not in this Valley of the Wire." Hanzho replied without looking at the person who asked.

Just as elder Lan was about to ask again, he was immediately stopped by elder Yan. "Try to feel it around. There's something following us from behind." Elder Yan spoke telepathically.

Elder Yan circulated his spiritual senses and indeed sensed some beings were chasing after them from behind the shadows of the surrounding trees. It seemed like the creatures had not yet come out as there was still a hint of sunlight between the trees.

Slowly the sun was not visible. The light has disappeared too. Suddenly from behind came a great roar like the flapping sound of the wings of large birds.

"Ah no.. Quick. You guys go first. Let me get in their way." Shouted Hanzho to his entourage. He stopped his horse and retreated to the back of the viewing troupe and tried to stop the flying creatures within the forest.

Elder Yan and Lan followed Hanzho. They wanted to know what was happening to make a Hanzho who was worshipping in the Ancestor realm look panicked. Surely it is not easy for someone to be in the Ancestor realm because they themselves have experienced it.

"What's Han's brother? You look panicked so?" Elder Lan asked when Hanzho had stopped and was staring at the dark forest behind him. Although it was night time but the eyes of the cultivators were able to see in the dark at a certain limit.

"We are currently at a place that cultivators below the Saint-Expert realm will die here. This Valley of the Wire is a neutral place on this continent that is not owned by any kingdom. This Dawai Valley has its own creatures that build their kingdom. Creatures that only come out at night and during the day disappear. At the end of this valley lies a luxurious and magnificent castle that is only visible at night. They are very hard, strong and violent creatures. They were natural enemies of humans and cultivators. They're called Blood Vampires." Clearly Hanzho while taking out his sword from the space ring. A white sword made of silver.

"Miss Lan and Miss Yan please take care of my missus until we reach the Golden Empire. And this is my space ring in exchange for my wish. You're my only hope. I'll fight it out here." Said Hanzo extending his s.p.a.ce-chicin to elder Yan then unsheathed his sword and drove his horse towards a creature that already looked like shape and appearance.
