Chapter 44 Throwing Yourself into Your Arms, Harmony Warning

"……I know."

Cai'er took a deep breath and said, "I'm just afraid that I'll do something wrong. You know, you're the only one I have now."

"……Um."

Realizing that Cai'er's mental state was not very good, Xingyuan tactfully did not mention her parents and great-grandfather.

"Me too."

Xingyuan grabbed Cai'er's hand, and their fingers were interlocked. "You are the only one for me."

After finally calming Cai'er down, Xingyuan took her to a restaurant. After a simple dinner, he planned to take her back to the hotel to continue practicing and prepare for tomorrow's competition.

However, what surprised Xingyuan was that the two of them ran into Long Haochen on the road who had just come out of the Knights Temple competition venue.

Speaking of which...

This was the first time Xingyuan had seen him in all the days he had been in the Holy City. More than half a month had passed since the last time they met in Amy City.

"Brother Xingyuan, long time no see."

Long Haochen had a very good impression of Xing Yuan, who was completely different from the profiteer Lin Xin, so he took the initiative to greet him.

Xingyuan nodded, "It's been a long time since we last met, Haochen."

Noticing that although Long Haochen was injured, he looked very good, Xing Yuan congratulated him and said, "It looks like you have successfully advanced.

Lin Xin's vision is indeed good, and the chances of winning are quite high if I bet on you."

Long Haochen gave a bitter smile when he heard that. He was not as optimistic as Xingyuan. He didn't even know how far he could go in this Demon Hunting Team selection competition.

According to his teacher, this year's selection competition has the largest number of fifth-level contestants in the past hundred years.

From their own Knights Templar alone, there were three Level Five Earth Knights participating in the competition.

As for the Magic Temple next door, there are also three fifth-level wizards including Xingyuan, so the pressure is quite great.

At this moment, Long Haochen didn't know that Lin Xin, who was betting with him, was one of the three fifth-level magicians from the Magic Temple.

However, since Lin Xin did not take the initiative to tell him, Xing Yuan would naturally not tell Long Haochen about this, just as Lin Xin would take the initiative to help him keep the secret.

Although Xingyuan, like Long Haochen, also had some favorable impressions of him.

However, he knew very well that this was the result of both of their bodies having a very high affinity for the sacred light element attribute.

In fact, with Xing Yuan's personality, he couldn't get along with Long Haochen at all.

Long Haochen also knew that his relationship with Xing Yuan was just an acquaintance, and the two of them didn't have much in common...

During the silence, Long Haochen also noticed Cai'er next to Xingyuan, and asked curiously: "Brother Xingyuan, is this girl your confidante?"

"..."

You, Long Haochen, speak in a very unique way...

Xingyuan looked at him, took Cai'er's hand, and said softly, "Yeah."

"Her name is Cai'er. She is a member of the Assassin's Temple and also a contestant in this year's Demon Hunters' Trials."

Although Long Haochen had noticed that Xingyuan's confidante seemed to be unable to see, he was still wondering how a blind person would act on the field.

But out of politeness, he didn't ask anything.

Xingyuan saw all the changes in Long Haochen's expression and was able to confirm that this was indeed the first time he and Cai'er met.

Because of the butterfly effect he caused, the original world line should have been greatly changed, and even the scene where he and Cai'er first met in childhood was postponed to now. Of course, this is the best way.

It wasn't that he stole Cai'er away, but in this world, Cai'er originally belonged to him, his childhood sweetheart who grew up with her.

"Brother Xingyuan, when you were in Amy City, you said that you already had a candidate for a teammate in the same demon hunting team. Is this person Miss Cai'er?"

Long Haochen looked at the two people's clasped hands and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Xingyuan nodded, "Yes, that's who I was talking about at that time."

He could feel that after he said this, Cai'er's heartbeat obviously quickened a bit, as did her body temperature.

"Then I wish Brother Xingyuan can get what he wants in advance..."

As there was a tough battle the next day, Long Haochen, who had already consumed too much spiritual energy in today's game and was still injured, did not have much time to waste. After a brief greeting with Xing Yuan, he said goodbye and walked towards the hotel where he was staying.

That's right...

The Earth Dragon Technique that was just performed in the competition also consumed about 30% of Xingyuan's spiritual power.

……

Taking Cai'er back to the hotel room, Xingyuan planned to spend the rest of the time meditating and practicing with Cai'er.

However, he didn't expect that Cai'er, who had been quiet for a whole section of the way, would suddenly grab his hand and press him against the wall the moment she entered the house.

"Cai'er?"

Xingyuan was a little stunned, and then he saw Caier lifting the veil on her face, revealing her red face underneath.

Xing Yuan did not speak again. He had already seen what was about to happen next through his temporarily activated future vision ability...

With my eyes slightly closed, I felt something soft touching my lips.

Isn’t Caier being a little too proactive?
Fortunately, Xingyuan did not reject this level of intimacy, or rather, he was actually waiting for this moment to come...

He threw the Heart Purifying Mantra at himself one after another, as if he was wasting his spiritual energy. Finally, Xingyuan controlled himself and did not take any further action.

No, there is a game tomorrow...

No, my great-grandfather said that before marrying Cai'er in a formal ceremony, he was not allowed to have any villains...

After rubbing Cai'er's head, whose body had completely limp and was lying defenseless in his arms, Xingyuan finally gave up the idea.

……

The next morning, Cai'er woke up and realized how ridiculous the things she had done yesterday were. She covered her burning cheeks, feeling at a loss.

She has no friends and no family with whom she can confide her true feelings.

She also didn't know how to treat the relationship between herself and Xingyuan. From her point of view, she felt that as long as Xingyuan wanted or asked of her, she would find ways to satisfy him.

But she also knew that she couldn't grasp the right balance, and she even threw herself into Xingyuan's arms last night.

Just as she was thinking about this, Cai'er discovered that Xingyuan had woken up, and she immediately took out a veil from her storage ring and put it on, fearing that the other party would notice her unusual behavior.

Xingyuan, shirtless, rubbed his eyes and asked Cai'er, who was sitting on the bed, "Are you awake?"

"Ah--well, Xingyuan, good morning."

Cai'er was a little flustered. She obviously didn't expect that after what happened last night, Xingyuan would be able to greet her this morning as if nothing had happened.

　Woohoo, I suddenly thought that the protagonist and Cai'er can't write this kind of plot at this age. We have to wait for the plot to progress a few years.
