Towards Eternity
Ch 350's. Up In The Fog Forest
Man Yue frowned listening to Weng Lou's reply.
Suddenly, the memory after memory that occurred before he was unconscious began to flow profusely in his head and made him grimace and fall.
Weng Lou only looked at it with a small smile and continued cleaning his Life-Destroying Knife. He did not put any caution to Man Yue at all because he knew his current condition was weak.
"You better not move much first, you've been unconscious for more than eight hours, your body has to adapt again first. And also you must be hungry, eat this, you need it to restore your lost energy." Weng Lou handed him a packet of cookies that he had placed on the floor of the carriage.
Man Yue looked at the cake and was silent for a moment. He wanted to reject her, yet his stomach felt very eager to fill at this moment.
Previously, she and her brother, Xin Yue had not eaten for two days because they had to continue to make all sorts of preparations to fight against those who were trying to remove the seal from the Earth Dragon.
Quickly, his hand moved and picked up that piece of cake that Weng Lou had given him and chewed on it quickly.
When he felt the taste of the cake in his mouth, Man Yue slowed down his chewing, and tried to enjoy the cake as best he could.
As soon as the cake in her mouth ran out, she took another cake and ate it.
Without feeling her tears fall slowly, and slowly begin to flow profusely, yet she continues to eat the cake. There was no sobbing sound that he let out, and continued to eat the cake until it was all gone.
Weng Lou calmly gave her a glass of water and was instantly taken by her and spent in one gulp.
After that, Man Yue changed her position to sit down while looking down and staring at the floor of the carriage.
"Is there nothing left of my brother? Is there nothing left?" asked Man Yue after being silent for a while.
Weng Lou did not answer his question, but handed a yellow-white metal necklace to his necklace's eyes.
Man Yue took that and looked at it for a while.
When he wanted to examine further the necklace, suddenly the eyes of the new necklace he touched opened and looked a piece of paper from inside. Curiously, Man Yue opened the paper, and saw a line of writing on the necklace.
'Happy Birthday.'
That's what it says on that paper. Man Yue's hand clasped the necklace. His body shook violently after reading it.
Her brother Xin Yue even remembered their birthday, and even took the time to find her a present.
"Stupid..I don't need a gift.I need you more right now." Man Yue said softly.
After a while, he wiped his tears and looked at Weng Lou.
"Thank you...."
"Hm? It doesn't matter, I promised him."
When it was about to start the conversation further, suddenly a dull sound was heard not far from them, and it was Lin Mei who had noticed the two of them with a suspicious face.
"Sorry to disturb your affection, but we're leaving again, the horses are well rested" he said, narrowing his eyes to Weng Lou.
Weng Lou who saw that could only smile awkwardly. I don't know what's wrong with him this time so that makes Lin Mei behave like that.
"depart? Go where?" man Yue asked suddenly and made Weng Lou turn his head back towards him.
"Ah, sorry before. We will head to Hundan City to participate in the Free Martial Tournament. We were forced to take you with us, because I had promised Xin Yue to take care of you" explained Weng Lou.
Man Yue who heard him blinked a few times.
The calm attitude that Man Yue had displayed earlier suddenly disappeared instantly after hearing the explanation from Weng Lou.
Man Yue clearly knew what city Hundan City was, and what the Free Martial Tournament was that Weng Lou and the others wanted to follow. He and his brother often heard about this place from some people they accidentally met.
Xin Yue had once wanted to tell him that she was going there when the matter with the Earth Dragon seal had been resolved, but was immediately rejected outright by Man Yue. He doesn't like to put both of them in trouble.
But who would have thought, it was precisely at this moment that he was on his way to the place that he was about before. Perhaps this was his redemption to his brother all along which troubled him too often.
"You're kidding, aren't you?" Man Yue was trying to make sure once again, that she had not misheard.
"No, we're really going there" Weng Lou replied with a smile.
Man Yue silently looked at him, and before long Weng Ying Luan and the others came and immediately climbed onto the carriage after Pang Baicha had finished tying back their horses on the carriage.
They continued their journey which had previously been stalled due to their exhausted horses, while Man Yue chose to be silent and said nothing more than to ask Weng Lou a few things.
***
In the afternoon, just a few minutes before the sun will sink.
The Weng Lou group horse carriage reached the end of the Huangwu Region, and was right at the boundary of the Central Region namely the Fog Forest.
They chose to stop and spend the night outside the Mist Forest as it avoided a sudden attack. Forest areas that are foggy at night are the biggest danger that should be avoided as much as possible by them.
Maybe later that night they even received attacks from wild animals or bandits hiding in the Mist Forest.
So they chose to spend the night outside.
Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and also Shan Hu were busy building a simple tent that would be used for them to sleep in, while Pang Baicha was busy feeding and drinking their horses.
For Jian Qiang, he had since reached the end of this Huangwu Region chosen to meditate on the carriage. While Lin Mei decided to look for firewood near the forest border and was followed by Man Yue behind her.
It was seen that Lin Mei's expression was holding back her sense of regret which signified that she did not like Man Yue who was following her.
"Why are you following me?" asked Lin Mei while trying to hold back her emotions.
"Ah, that....Weng Lou asked me to come with you. I don't know why, but he said to come with you alone," Man Yue replied with a slight nervousness.
Arguably, Man Yue did not have the ability to communicate well with people she did not know very well, in fact, it could be said that the only person he could easily talk to was his normal brother.
Except for Weng Lou. For some reason she felt ordinary when talking to him, there was not the slightest nervousness when with him.
Even because of that, he was able to get acquainted with Weng Lou so that he could know her real name.
Lin Mei's footsteps came to a halt and she flipped over and looked at Man Yue.
Closing his eyes for a while, he then reopened them and walked over to her. Lin Mei patted Man Yue's right shoulder slowly.
"Then come on, don't be too slow to walk behind me," said Lin Mei then turned back and started looking for wooden branches for firewood.
Man Yue's face looked surprised because of that. He was previously a little nervous when Lin Mei turned around and looked at him. He thought that Lin Mei would throw him out, but it turned out to be the opposite.
The foundation of good relations between the two seemed to start from this place.
