Chapter 52: It's time to return to our kingdom
The next morning…
Auu !!!! Auu !!!! Auu !!!!
The day dawned with the sad howl of a wolf.
Looking towards the howl, we can see a wolf standing to howl into the sky. Besides the wolf was a young man lying and sleeping. The two were Liu Yang and the Midnight Wolf.
After a night's sleep, the Midnight Wolf recovered, she remembered the things that happened to the members of her group. After they disappeared and became the balls of light, the last memories of them were felt by her.
When she woke up, the Midnight Wolf howled as a way of praying for her dead companions.
"You woke up" Liu Yang was woken up by howling. He looked back and saw that the barrier was not yet broken.
When Liu Yang looked at the sky, he saw that it was still dark and the sun had not yet risen.
The poor illumination of the light showed that morning was almost arrive.
Auuu !!! Auuu !!! Auuu !!!
The wolf ignored Liu Yang and continued to howl into the sky. This went on for some time before she stopped doing that. Her sad emotions have been released.
"Are you alright?" Liu Yang approached the wolf.
When the wolf saw Liu Yang, a resentful look was shown on her face. She remembers the things that happened last night.
The human in front of her broke her fangs and several bones in her body. The worst was that he enslaved her.
"Why is that poor look? You were defeated by me and you were saved. But I apologize for your companions. You won't be able to accompany them, but they will always accompany you "Liu Yang remembers the last moments of the group of wolves.
They became lights and entered her body.
Auuuu !!!
The wolf howled again after hearing Liu Yang's words. She felt very sad about that.
This scene was very strange for Liu Yang, as it showed that the Midnight Wolf was able to understand his words. This shows that she had some kind of intelligence. This is an incredible thing, as it is very rare for a creature to have intelligence at the lowest levels.
Liu Yang thought the wolf wanted to be alone, so he stopped disturbing her and lay down in front of the barrier again. He was thinking about some things.
To his surprise, the wolf followed him and lay down beside him.
"Good wolf" Liu Yang stroked her head and body.
Auuu ...
The wolf seemed to like this affection.
The man and wolf duo rested for a few more minutes.
The sun finally rose on the horizon, and its light illuminated the dark plains. As the light illuminated, the feeling of death and darkness gradually disappeared.
This was the daily cycle of the Continent of Xinia. During the day, the mood was pleasant. During the night, the mood was tense, heavy, and deadly.
Crack… Crack…
The earth barrier began to break and collapse.
Liu Yang and the Midnight Wolf moved away from the barrier.
It didn't take long for the barrier to break and the village to be revealed. Some residents were already awake while others were sleeping.
"Dear guest, I am happy that you are well" The village chief appeared commented in a friendly manner. He no longer had that cold light in his eyes.
Many other residents were in the same situation, they started to fear Liu Yang after the power he showed.
Fighting a rank 4 creature with bare hands was not something anyone can do.
The most incredible thing was that the injuries he received the night before cannot be seen. This means that these injuries are already healed. This regenerative power scared the villagers.
"Head of the village, you don't have to worry about that. I'm used to doing that. " Liu Yang spoke casually, but internally, he had other thoughts.
(You were expecting me to be killed, right? I can see that you've already killed many people from another world) Liu Yang didn't feel any emotion when he saw this group of people from the village. They were a group that took advantage of others and then killed them.
"Dear guest, breakfast is almost ready, do you want to join us?" The village chief invited. He had no more malicious intentions than before.
"I thank the village chief for the invitation"
"Follow me" The old man guided the pair to the center of the village, where breakfast was being prepared.
A group of people was preparing breakfast in the square. A large cauldron was boiling some soup while some residents were making bread.
"Dear guest, the food is not much, but it is enough for everyone to eat"
"I thank the village chief for this"
"Dear traveler, can we talk a little alone?"
"Is it about Miss Callie?"
"Yes."
"About this subject. I'm waiting for her answer. "
"I see ... I hope she doesn't make the wrong choice" The boss sighed. He took care of her for many years, but it was time for Callie to make her decisions.
…
Some hours later…
"Sir, I'm ready" Callie's voice was heard from behind.
Liu Yang was already in front of the village and ready to leave, beside him was the Midnight Wolf.
Turning around, Liu Yang saw that Callie cut her hair. Before, she had long hair that went down to her buttocks, now, she left it up to her shoulders. She also tied the two swords and the dagger at the waist.
"Did you cut your hair?" Liu Yang noticed the subtle changes in Callie's behavior and aura.
Before, she looked young, but discouraged, a little lifeless and with no future. Now, Callie looked more mature and willing to live.
"Yes. You noticed?" Callie was a little shy.
"It looks good. This is a good change. What did you decide?" Liu Yang was waiting for her answer.
"Master, I decided to follow the master as your slave" Callie knelt before Liu Yang and made her vow.
Argg ...
The Midnight Wolf showed a cautious face and snarled at Callie after seeing her actions. It looked like she didn't like it.
"What's it?" Liu Yang found this scene strange and funny.
The wolf did not respond and just turned to the side. She looked like a jealous woman watching her man talking to another woman.
(I'm imagining things? She is a wolf, right? She shouldn't act like that. Or is it ... Is it possible that this wolf has intelligence and that when it gets stronger, it will take on a human form like in novels?) Liu Yang thought about it.
Some actions of the Midnight Wolf left Liu Yang in doubt about this situation. He saw that at times, the Midnight Wolf looked like someone with intelligence and emotions.
Like a few hours ago, when she woke up early and howled into the sky, the sounds made in the howl had various kinds of sad emotions. Another situation was when the Midnight Wolf looked at Liu Yang with a complicated face after she remembered about last night.
(If she really has intelligence, she will be much stronger than normal creatures of the same rank. Intelligence is the main fact that differentiates all beings) Liu Yang was happy with that, but he had no information about his theory.
The only thing he can do is keep watching the Midnight Wolf and see her actions.
The other residents looked at Callie with jealousy and envy at this scene, especially the women. Many of them were more beautiful than Callie, but only she had this golden opportunity.
"I will accept your vow, but you need to follow my orders from now on"
"Yes Master"
"You don't have to call me a master, call me a young master"
"Yes, young master"
"I will wait for you to say goodbye to them." Liu Yang and the Midnight Wolf walked ahead.
Callie stayed behind while looking at the residents sadly. Ultimately, this is where she lived for her fifteen years. Now, she is finally going to leave.
"I am grateful for the care of everyone during all these years. Head of the village, thanks for taking care of me "Callie bowed and thanked.
If it weren't for the village chief, she would have suffered a far worse fate than death.
"Child, that was the promise I made to your parents, you don't have to thank me for that. Now, it is time for you to live your own life and find your own goals "
The village chief may be a vicious old man, he still had a good personality for the villagers. Although he would sell his members in exchange for a piece of meat. He kept his promise to take care of Callie until she left the village.
His care was not very good, since she did not have a good diet and cleanliness, but he prevented her from being raped and killed. This was the best thing he could do for her.
Now, it's time for Callie to leave and start her new life.
"I am going"
"Child, I hope your stories can spread across the kingdom."
"I will try my best to make this happen. Goodbye. "Callie ran towards Liu Yang, but before that, she turned and waved to the villagers.
"Bye!!" All the villagers said goodbye to Callie.
The image of a man, a woman, and a wolf disappeared over the horizon.
Sometime later…
"Chief, all witnesses have been silenced. What are we going to do now? She's already gone. Should we get out of here too? " One of the residents asked. A lot of blood was spilled on his clothes.
All the other residents who left also had blood on their clothes. They killed everyone who was not part of their group.
"We will. I already kept my promise to those two. It was great to be a grandfather all these years. " The old man spoke emotionally.
"Boss, do you think that young man will take good care of her?"
"He goes. I feel it. That young man is totally different from the otherworldly travelers we know. He will be someone who will bring great changes to the kingdom. We need to go back and deliver this news to Your Highness. She will like this young man. "
"Hehe… Chief, are you already sending a man to Your Majesty's bed? She won't like this. Although she has been a widow for many years. " A woman commented.
"Boss, is that young man really a traveler from another world?"
"Yes. I am one hundred percent sure, but as to why he is so strong, I cannot say that "
"The Temore Kingdom will have great confusion from now on. People from another world always cause great confusion when they appear. "
"We are going back to our kingdom. Your Highness is waiting for our news, we have been in this place for a long time. But before we leave, let's pray for that child's parents"
"Yes, boss" The group knelt and prayed for Callie's parents. The two were an adventurous couple, they saved this group from being killed a long time ago. Thus, they promise the couple that they will take care of their daughter.
The care was a little mediocre, but they did the job.
When they got up, all the houses in the village caught fire. It didn't take long for everything to turn to ashes and being blown by the wind.
One of the residents used magic and the burnt grass was replaced with new green grass. The place didn't even look like it had a village burned before.
"Let's go" The leader activated an item. A light covered their bodies and they all disappeared from the scene.
