The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 47. DESERT STORMS

In a small house surrounded by flowers blooming all year round, an old man opened his eyes. He saw his granddaughter training in a field filled with flowers of various colors. Seen from above, the flowers were like rainbows that surrounded the world with a seven-colored glow.

The young lady who was training in the middle of the field was looking good at playing her white sword with the maroon-red handle of the pomegranate gem. At the end of the sword was a strand inscribed with the girl's name, Silvie. Under the morning sunlight and the northern breeze as well as the fragrance of flowers scattered all around, the sweet girl occasionally let out a deep energy from her sword smashing the rocks far enough away from her.

"Good... The Silver Flower Sword Sect had been almost perfect. It's just that the power control in still very less and sometimes often leaked. If you meet a stronger opponent than you, they will soon find out your flaws and weaknesses. Especially when you swing a sword, the gap looks huge." Said the old man who had noticed his grandson practicing.

"But there will be a grandfather who will protect me." Reply to the girl.

Ctu...

"It hurts the cake."

The old man who was still sitting in the small house, now suddenly was in front of the girl and lightly touched his grandson's eel.

"How many times has Grandpa said not to expect help from anyone including grandfather. Indeed, this grandfather is strong, but that does not mean there is no one stronger than the strong grandfather out there. The world is vast and there are still countless mysteries out there waiting to be solved." Said the old man while looking at the blue sky above him.

"Yes cake I remember. Take it easy, your students won't disappoint Grandpa. But cake, what the hell is the world out there?" Asked the girl while sheathing her sword then kept it in her space ring.

"Later you'll know for yourself after getting out of here. It's better to clean up now, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we'll be out." Answer grandpa.

"Oh really cake? Isn't the intercontinental tournament still two months away?" Ask the girl for joy.

"Yes. But grandfather changed the plan early so you know what the world is like so you have more preparation in the tournament later." Answer the old man.

"Wahh asian.. I can finally get out." The girl said with excitement. He then ran to a small house not far from them.

Looking at his grandson's behavior, the old man just sighed softly. "He was seventeen years old and yet he still acted like a child. But sooner or later the world will change its attitude." The old man muttered and disappeared from his place.

Swoosh...

The man appeared in a cemetery close to a seven-color waterfall. The old man took out a small jar of wine from the void then poured the wine over the grave in front of him then drank the remaining wine in the urn.

"Tomorrow I'll get little Silvie out of here. You can rest easy there I'm protecting her. Maybe this trip was the last time I showed myself to the world. I feel that my death is almost here while my division is still in the same realm these past two centuries. This time the King of the Hereafter won. Either I have to grieve or laugh but before that arrives, Silvie should already be able to protect herself and understand about her life. Oh yes, just calm down your will I have done just to wait for the right person to be Silvie's companion. But somehow I have a strange feeling about it, whether bad or not I don't know. Yet as long as I was by his side no one was able to injure him even if it was a level ten Mythical Holy Beast." Said the old man to the grave in front of him. Then the old man sat beside the grave and faced the seven-colored waterfall in front of him.

After a long time sitting in silence while holding a few glasses of wine, the old man got up and patted the tombstone and then disappeared from it. On the nisa stone was written the name Silvie.

THE RED DAWN DESERT

"Why did Mr Andri tell me something like that to me you just knew? Don't you worry I'll tell it to others and it could harm you. Or maybe I'll snatch what you have?" Jessika asked after hearing Andri's story long enough to make a little sleepy. He wondered why the handsome young man in front of him was telling something that should only be told to those closest to him.

"That's simple because you're so beautiful Miss Jessika." Denas answered quickly without thinking about what he said.

Jessika blushed both of her cheeks. Fortunately, none of the members were in the tent other than the four of them.

Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk

Andri seemed to cough and misbehave. While Tang Xiao closed his mouth Denas who was about to speak again said a ngawur thing that could make their first brother embarrassed.

"Shhtt quiet. Let the first brother get his first love. Don't bother." Whisper Tang Xiao in Denas. Tang Xiao's mouth almost bit his sister's ear.

"Hemp hemp...." Denas could not speak as his mouth smothered Tang Xiao. His face was flushed holding his breath. "Akh yes. Let go first I can't breathe." Reply Denas through his mind.

Tang Xiao who had just learned Denas could not breathe, hurriedly removed his hand from Denas' face. He saw Denas' white face that was clean and smooth had flushed red. Denas hurriedly ran out in search of fresh air.

The little incident between Tang Xiao and Denas managed to divert their conversation.

"What's with the third sister?" Said Andri pretended not to know because he wanted to divert the conversation that had been awkward.

"Eitherway. Maybe he came out looking for some fresh air after feeling this fragrant palm of my hand." Tang Xiao replied. He kissed her fragrant palm. He did not know where the fragrance came from.

"Pfft.. Master Tang may have your hands clutching his face and mouth too tightly. Look at his face flushed with palms." Said Jessika giggling to see the behavior of three brothers in front of her.

"Oh yes, Mr. Andri, you have not answered my question." Jessika opened the conversation that had been delayed. Andri took another glass of wine in his glass and cleared his throat several times.

"Non wants to hear an honest answer or not."

"Of course it's honest."

Good. First because you are one of the elders of the Azure Dragon Sect. The biggest and strongest sect in this world. You have strong ethics and character. So it's impossible for a woman like you to do things that you shouldn't. And secondly, as my third sister answered, a beautiful and gentle woman like you could not have done as badly as you asked."

Jessila was silent at Andri's diplomatic reply. He was also shocked that this handsome young man in front of him knew about his identity as an elder. Whereas in the Land Of Soul only a few people know of his identity as the youngest elder in the Azure Dragon Sect. He felt this handsome young man of his age was not an indiscriminate youth and naturally had an unusual back screen. He felt the young man in front of him getting more attractive. His face met in red thinking of Andri's second answer.

Jessika styled herself so as not to waver in front of the two handsome young men who were currently looking at her strangely.

"Ehem... In this cruel world nothing is impossible, Lord Andri. Just for the sake of gaining strength, inhuman and unreasonable things would be done at all costs. Especially with your current cultivation that can become an easy target for strong cultivators all over the world." Said Jessika expel the embarrassment that suddenly plagued her.

Andri nodded. "It's true what you said. But you're not someone like Miss Jessika. I know a little bit what the Azure Dragon Sect is like in outline. The peace of the world until now became one of the causes of the intervention of the Azure Dragon Sect. Likewise, the battle against the Devils five hundred years ago was directly led by the Azure Dragon Sect Chief on the front line and became the sect that sacrificed the most. Until now the heroism of the Azure Dragon Sect was thrust in the world. And the most interesting thing about the Azure Dragon Sect is that the bigger the reputation, the more it shuts itself down and becomes a mystery. So that your identity as the youngest elder of the Azure Dragon Sect is known to only a few people even within the sect. And perhaps according to my analysis, you have been nominated to be the next sect leader when the time has come. According to my analysis, the mission you sent here became one of your eligibility exams for the leadership of the sect. Is Miss Jessika Meisi Daros right?" Said Andri while taking a gulp of wine left in his glass.

Jessika was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight hearing the speech of the young man in front of her. He was shocked to his feet and pulled his sword down Andri's neck.

"Say who are you?" Jessika asked with pressure. He became extremely vigilant and expended his cultivation energy to suppress the two young men in front of him.

"Sister perta...." Denas who entered and was about to speak became speechless at the sight before him. He did not know what had happened after coming out for a moment.

"Heem.. Is it possible that the first sister is causing trouble, or is Miss Jessika really serious about her words?" Inner Denas who does not know the cause of this incident in front of him. He's gone awry. Stop them or just stand by and see what happens next. He saw Tang Xiao smiling mockingly at Jessika. But the girl didn't realize it.

"Huh.. Second brother seemed to be able to finish it easily.

"Heh Miss Jessika, you better calm down first. Such an attitude was not what the Azure Dragon Sect had taught, was it?" Said Tang Xiao who was silent earlier. He also could not believe his first brother was so aware of the beautiful girl in front of them. She also just found out that her first sister was a little bit dislikeful of this girl.

Preakk

Jessika sat in her chair limply. Now he knows who helped him. Although he was not sure if the presence had come from the two young men in front of him, it had at least something to do with the two of them.

"I'm sorry, sorry for my sassness Mr. Andri." Jessika who had been able to control herself quickly immediately apologized for her audacity.

"Miss Jessika doesn't need to apologize. I might as well do the same if I were in Miss's position." Reply Andri relaxed. He did not take a headache over Jessika's attitude earlier. He could already guess what would happen if only his second brother did not mediate them.

"I thank Mr. Tang for stopping me from that stupidity. I hope you both will forgive me." Said Jessika while silencing.

"I didn't do anything, miss. I think there's a little misunderstanding between you and my brother." Reply Tang Xiao waved his hand. He was also amazed at the character of the girl in front of him. Tempramen is quickly realized of course through quality education.

Jessika smiled." It seems like lord Andri is very lucky to have brothers like lord Tang and lord Denas." Jessika muttered a little envy. He immediately sheathed his sword then returned it to his space cincing.

Denas who from earlier was silent and only watched from where he was standing, sat back next to Tang Xiao. But he looked wary if Tang Xiao suddenly did something like that again.

"Miss Jessika why aren't you our only brother. You can call second brother." Say Denas with ease. For him raising others to be brothers and sisters while living is easy.

Jessika looked surprised to hear the light greeting of the handsome young man in front of her. He didn't expect to hear something like that.

Ctu...

Tang Xiao nudged Denas' eel when he heard that remark. "What the fuck are you talking about third sister. Lifting a sibling is not as easy as buying vegetables at the market." Whisper Tang Xiao. The whisper was loud enough that it could be heard by Jessika.

"What the hell brother, the brother said what whispered anyway. I was just kidding so the atmosphere wasn't awkward." Reply Denas does not want to lose.

"Haishis.. Brother what the hell are you thinking. Look at that because of your words the atmosphere even became awkward and crisp like this." Whisper Tang Xiao again. Just as loud as the first whisper. Then Tang Xiao glanced at Jessika who looked silent. He also glanced at his first sister who was quietly observing Jessika.

"Huuuuuuuu.. Quiet y'all. Let Miss Jessika think." Ucal Denas through the thought of stopping the riots deliberately made by his two younger brothers. Andri seemed to think, having two sisters alone was quite happy with their silly behavior let alone plus a sister. Not bad to have a sister either. He can be a mediator for all three of them.

Jessika who seemed to be thinking, suddenly smiled widely. It seems he has his decision. He took out a line of wine then poured it in the three glasses of youth in front of him then into his own glass.

"As Mr. Tang said, if raising a brother is not as easy as buying vegetables in the market, then let me, if you want to, Jessika Meisi Daros became the most expensive brother and you will never be found in any market in the world." Jessika stood up and drank her wine and broke her glass to the floor.

Andri, Tang Xiao and Denas smiled widely. They followed what Jessika did.

"Welcome to the second sister in this family. While living together until death pick each of us up." Said Andri followed by Tang Xiao and Denas.

Meanwhile from the outside suddenly an old man ran in and saluted Jessika with a panicked face.

"Young chief. Within a radius of five kilo meters from here, there was a desert storm a hundred meters high and more than three kilos wide from the south." Said the old man. Jessika makes a decision quickly.

"Command all troops into tents and coat tents with your energy to protect against the coming storm." Jeesika orders without thinking much. It seems like he had predicted this before.

"Second brother why with tents coated with qi energy? Is it less powerful enough to face the storm later?" Denas asked who seemed to be clueless about the desert storm.

Jessika nodded. "Indeed, it is not strong enough not because of the storm but because of something that comes with the storm. This sandstorm in the Red Dawn Desert contains hellish sand that can melt anything. This sandstorm in the desert was even feared by a level eight Mythical Beast downwards, Something like us can't help it." Answer Jessika. When Denas called him second brother, there was something in his heart that made him so happy. Maybe because all this time he was prepared to become the sect head so there was no time for him to take care of such trivial matters. However after he met the three young men in front of him, his view of life became wider and deeper. Something that was not taught within the sect. Perhaps this was the purpose of the Azure Dragon Sect ordering him here.

"Oh that's terrible? Deserve the Red Dawn Desert to be one of the most feared places in the world." Denas Murmuring.

"Fourth sister, that nickname will become even more real when we will step far more into the middle of the desert. Right now maybe we are only on stage two and the desert storm is only on stage two. Something more terrifying than a desert storm has been waiting for us ahead." Reply Andri who knows little information about the Red Dawn Desert.

"Second brother, how many days have you been in this desert? And how many groups have you met?" Tang Xiao asked, who had just been quiet.

"We've been here three days. There were some other groups that had met but they took the path from the south side. We are from the east side. The final destination is the west side. So this path is longer than the others and more dangerous. That was what the Azure Dragon Sect's Great Elder had ordered." Answer Jessika.

"Why so long. It's been three days here but it's still here. What happened to my second sister?" Ask Andri.

"Hehe.. It was because at first we were arguing over the path we were going to take. We were split into two groups, one group chose to take the path of the other and one group chose to take the path according to what the Great Elder ordered. The debate was so fierce that there was almost a brother dispute. It was fortunate that just as we were about to clash some level seven Mythical Beasts and level three to four attacked us so we had to help each other overcome them." Jessika answered.

Trrrttt trrttt trrrrttt

Suddenly the tent they were in shook the sign of a desert storm had come closer.

Hush..

Tang Xiao flicked his finger. Something transparent was lining their tents. Tang Xiao bangkiy's.

"First brother, second brother I was about to go out and see what really happened." Said Tang Xiao.

"Don't.. Outside is dangerous. Don't go there." Exclaimed Jessika stopped Tang Xiao's steps.

"The second sister should not hesitate. The third sister was not someone who acted recklessly and thoughtlessly." Andri stopped Jessika's steps.

"Second brother just calm down. Your sister's gonna be fine. Trust second brother." Said Tang Xiao leisurely while smiling gently.

Jessika was flabbergasted at Tang Xiao's smile. Jessika was not used to their brotherhood until Tang Xiao's smile made Jessika's face slightly red. He sat back down and drank a glass of wine to calm his erratic heart.

"Third brother I'm coming." Exclaimed Denas dashed around following Tang Xiao who was already at the door of the tent.

"Well.. What the hell is wrong with those two. What they think of this desert sandstorm as a toy. See if I'll discipline them." Jessika said annoyedly. He was very worried about his two brothers. Having just become a brother, he could not just lose his brother. Did they not promise to live.

"Second sister I know what you're thinking. It's true what you said about this sandstorm as a toy. However, this only applies to the third sister. While the fourth sister only followed because of curiosity." Andri tried to calm Jessika down.

"Huh? You said 'just curious?' You think this desert sandstorm is a joke and a figment? Then why was first brother so trusting of Tang Xiao that even his cultivation was inferior to big brother? Are you guys crazy" Jessika asked unsettled.

"Pfft.. It's the second sister. Better calm yourself with this glass of wine. Don't disturb third sister's pleasure. For the fourth sister there is a third sister who always protects her." Said Andri poured wine in Jessika's glass and gave it to Jessika.
