Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 69 — Under Shade Tree
"Sister Yue, it turns out you're here!"
There were two girls who suddenly appeared in the bushes, hearing from their words it seemed like the two girls knew Linxia very well.
"You guys, why are you here?!" Linxia was surprised, he knew them as his younger brothers in the sect.
One girl carried a long sword while the other girl carried two short swords. The one carrying the long sword was often Linxia calling Brother Mei while the second Brother Ran.
Mei and Ran were almost a year adrift with Linxia, making them call Big Brother to him.
Linxia had almost no friends in the sect if it were not for his two younger brothers. Although Linxia was not very close to them, the relationship between the two was quite good.
"We..." The two girls looked at each other for a moment before sighing so heavily. "We are lost."
Linxia raised one eyebrow. "Missed?"
The two girls nodded before explaining that he and his friend missed their group while being chased by a giant boar hundreds of years old.
Zhou Yuan and Linxia looked at each other, he was sure the boar the two girls were referring to was the wild boar demon they had killed just a moment ago.
"We were forced to split up and hide from the demon, but after escaping I lost track of my group." Mei ended the story.
Linxia sighed, he looked at the two younger siblings with a slight sense of pity. Even if Linxia is always indifferent to both does not mean he does not care.
"It's late at night, you better sleep here so tomorrow we can find your group easily." Linxia answered after being silent for a moment.
The two girls smiled brightly then immediately hugged Linxia "Sister Yue, you are the best..."
Linxia tried to let go of their embrace, his tone a little uncomfortable. "All right, all right, but can you stop hugging me?!"
The two girls grinned widely, finally they rested in Linxia and Zhou Yuan's group, they had already walked for a very long time in the dark of night making the two so exhausted. Instead of going to meet the group, they can become more lost or meet with wild animals or the like.
As the two approached the bonfire, they realized that there was a man not far from the campfire.
"Sister Yue, who is this, don't you already have a fiancee, it's not good to be with another man..." Suddenly Ran chatted to see Zhou Yuan, but not yet finished his words, Mei immediately silenced her mouth.
"Don't get me wrong, didn't you see that on the field. Me and him are just one group in this competition, nothing more." Linxia rolled his eyes lazily. He remembered the nature of his two younger brothers, chatty and always asked a lot.
The two younger siblings looked at each other and laughed a little, both looking for a comfortable place to sleep, not taking long until they fell asleep.
"Your friends are so unique?" Zhou Yuan who had been silent since then finally opened his voice, slightly smiling at the behavior of the two girls.
"They are my younger siblings, in the sect I have no friends except them. Although I was a little annoyed by the behavior of the two but I never hated them."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, he could see the two girls really admired Linxia.
"Our journey may be a little impeded, we must deliver them to the group first." Linxia conveyed his intentions and intentions.
"No problem, we're not rushing into this competition either."
"Hm, is something wrong?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows as Linxia stared at him for a long time.
Linxia regained his senses, his face flushed slightly but he hastily normalized the turmoil of his feelings back, he coughed softly. "Nothing."
Linxia then approached Zhou Yuan and sat down next to the man, the girl actually already had a place to put her body to sleep but it was void because her younger sibling instead occupied it first.
Zhou Yuan who was now sitting under the tree slightly shifted his position so that the girl could sit comfortably.
No more conversations, the night is getting late. Linxia who was actually exhausted from fighting with the boar before unconsciously began to sleepy, his eyes closed slowly.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly as he felt the girl's head leaning against his shoulder, Linxia was already sound asleep on Zhou Yuan's shoulder.
"It doesn't seem like there's anything dangerous here..." Zhou Yuan saw his surroundings, as a person who had lived two lives he had experience while living in the forest.
Zhou Yuan was quite sure there would be no ferocious or stealth animals around the area they occupied let alone before this area was the area of the iron boar, beasts and demons no one would dare to set their place here.
Zhou Yuan finally chose to close his eyes after being sure his surroundings were safe, he leaned his head against the tree in before finally falling asleep.
***
The first thing Mei and Ran saw when they woke up was to see the position of Zhou Yuan and Linxia who were asleep. Both of them woke up early, even when the sun had not yet risen.
"Are we going to wake him?" Brisque Ran.
"Don't let Brother Yue rest longer..."
Mei rejected the plan, after all she had not seen Linxia smile so sweetly for a long time. It was true, Linxia was currently smiling in his sleep.
Linxia woke up earlier than Zhou Yuan as slowly the girl's face flushed red after noticing what was going on.
Linxia did not immediately wake up, he looked at the face of Zhou Yuan who was still asleep, after seeing it more clearly, the man had a beautiful face.
Without wanting to wake Zhou Yuan up, Linxia gradually shifted his body. He looked around, not finding his two younger brothers.
"Sister Yue, you're awake. I just got a quarry, look at these chickens, I just got it..." Ran and Mei just returned after hunting, they eagerly showed off the results of the hunt to Linxia.
Linxia nodded, he then helped the two cultivate the chicken for their breakfast.
Zhou Yuan at least woke up when the cooking scent smelled from his nose, finding three girls cooking four chickens roasted on the fireplace.
Four chickens have been seasoned, making the smell more fragrant and very tempting.
"It's a little strange sight..." Zhou Yuan scratched his head looking at the three girls before him.
In his lifetime he rarely mingled with a woman except for just a little but in this second life other than being with Xiao Rou, Zhou Yuan was also destined to some girls like Linxia.
Of course this is also a new experience for him, in this second life he also wants to do something new, including having a relationship with a woman.
