The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 149 - Old acquaintance
"Hm where did you find him? I haven't even been able to find him all day. Haha." Li Yong laughed loosely as he stroked the dragon's head wrapped in the cloth of the robe. He accepted it with pleasure.
Xin Chen cursed, "Indeed she was observant about the shiny stuff. If he's human, maybe all he thinks about is money, money, and money."
"You're right hahaha."
Ye Long's ears moved towards the left, he shifted his gaze back up into the sky. As if there was something that attracted his attention to it, they were also interested in staring at the sky which had been filled with clouds since when. Although the sun feels burning but the sky is cloudy like it will rain in a few hours.
Li Yong gave a suggestion, "If Young Master is willing, you can stay here at least until the rain subsides."
However Xin Chen's decision was already unanimous, he rejected Li Yong's offer subtly and took Ye Long away immediately. The distance with the Lightning Fox was already far enough, they had to catch up.
Not an hour left the Lotus Temple the rain fell so swift, the great storm made the big trees sound strong, the cold wind blew sweeping the streets. The gloomy atmosphere of the sky that was so dark felt gripping.
Although they left early in the morning, yet this atmosphere looked like it was almost night. Shortly after, the sound of thunder came out loud. Their journey was delayed for a while.
"It was raining, just like it was."
"When did you find out about the God of Lightning?"
"Well, I feel like I've changed a lot but it's not enough. I'm still so weak."
Although in the eyes of the people he was already quite strong but ever since his fight with Li Yong, Xin Chen realized his strength could not be forged in just a few months time. Even up to decades he was not sure he was able to face his toughest enemy.
"Today I see you're a pessimist."
"Hey, Master Fox?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think facing a dark dragon is a crazy idea?"
"From the beginning I've said it, I think you only understood it after using a small part of your brain as big as a soybean."
"Ck, I'm just imagining myself later. When it's in my hands, people's lives are at stake..."
"Then you just need to be a little crazy and stupid to deal with it. I guess if you think like a normal person then you'll back off without thinking twice."
"I was thinking about how I prepared myself, how I could deal with my opponent temporarily... Ck! Shit, I'm weak. Why did I just realize it?"
The Lightning Fox slightly smiled slightly, "Even if you fail to save the person you love. Remember that promise, even if you die, or you lose, you'll come back from the crust of hell to fix it. Swear to me, as my disciple."
Xin Chen turned his body to face the Fox, while the fox was still faithfully looking at the rainwater pooling on the ground flowing towards the nearby river.
"I swear on my Master."
"good. Now practice your Lightning Rain style, and develop your abilities."
"Eh-heh? Master Fox, at least let me-"
"You are satisfied to rest in the Lotus Temple. It's time for practice."
"I didn't hear you. Can you repeat it again?"
Xin Chen sneered, "Yes yes I'm training. Until my skin is wrinkled by the rain."
The Lightning Fox put on a half-mockery face, Ye Long himself tightened his body on the wall of the uninhabited house they had stopped by. The dragon was reluctant to play rain water, the cold air around it had made the dragon creeps.

After a long journey they finally arrived at a city with a very large port, the goods were transported onto the ship. The activity in this place is very busy, if not careful will be hit with others.
Coincidentally near the port stands a place to eat that is located opposite the sea. A man came out from inside his restaurant house, approaching Xin Chen and the Lightning Fox at the dining table so excitedly.
"Aha! Second Young Master Xin, I never thought that on this very important day you came to our restaurant!" The dense moustache above his lips surged fiercely as the man spoke. The man had a large burly body, looking more like a fighter than a restaurant guard.
Xin Chen just smiled awkwardly because he did not know what to answer, the man said again. "Because this is the first time Young Master has come here then the food at my place is free! Everybody, free!"
The word free does make anyone's soul smolder, Xin Chen asserts it with passion. "Hehe anything that's free I can't refuse."
The Lightning Fox said, "Toxic even if you accept it?"
"It's okay, any poison I can sell."
"Hoho it seems that Young Master already has his own pet demon. Can I see it?"
Xin Chen became panicked, he immediately rejected her. "No, no. This demon has some kind of infectious disease. Be careful when you approach it."
The man then distanced himself, judging from his attitude this man may have known his family long enough.
"Ah, Second Young Master Xin. Sorry not polite. It's just that I knew your father very well from childhood and I admired his two sons. Your father was very kind to little people like us. Even up to this moment when he was on a mission trip, he didn't hesitate to stop by our restaurant..."
"Father's introduction, yeah. It's nice to meet you."
"It's great to see you too, Young Master. By the way what is Young Master doing here? Is he on his way home to attend Mr Lan An's wedding?"
His words made Xin Chen speechless gloomily, instead of forgetting that important day it was just that Xin Chen had not wanted to appear himself in front of his Father as well as his family and relatives in the meantime. Aware of the question made the awkward atmosphere of the man apologize.
Before long the man returned to prepare the order, while they looked at the evening sky that was beginning to be golden in color.
"Tomorrow, huh? Ye Long, do you want to go back not to see my house?"
The dragon raised its head and crept like a snake on a chair. It seemed that the dragon was also curious as to what his master's house looked like.
"Then... For the mission this time, we have to cross that sea and find another dragon named Shui. After that we'll just go home."
Ye Long nodded a few times then went back to eating the meat provided for him. From the information of some local people it is said that the legend about the Demon Ruler of Water in the ocean that connects the city of Fanlu and Renwu really exists.
Precisely ten years ago when the water dragon came out and fought with the Demon Man. The mystery of the disappearance of the sailing ship and the appearance of a whirlpool in the middle of the sea is still a pretty scary story to date.
