Eugene walked side by side Abby with an awkward gait as the other party refused to stay an inch far from him. From the current look of it, it even seemed that if only she could climb at the other party's body and let him carry her, she would probably do so.
Eugene on the other hand just let Abby did as she pleased. He did not push her away nor utter a single word of complaint despite looking awkward in the middle of the road.
They stayed like that for a couple of minutes, until it was Abby, herself, who decided to finally pull away.
Mustering all her courage, she tried to slowly lift her gaze and looked around the place, but once again, she almost teared up upon seeing the sight before her.
There were lots of horned animals walking with their hind legs that lurked the area. One even looked like it had the head of a bull while its body looked like it was some model fr
The two wandered around the place and as time passed by, Abby started to feel more at ease compared to how she initially felt when they first arrived but she still had her hands clinging at Eugene's shirt, though."Why did you bring me here? What are we doing here?"Abby could not help but ask after a short while."Well, in case you have not noticed yet, we are currently in a market and what else could we do on a market other than to buy something. As my servant, you have to get used to this place as coming to this place would be one of your jobs in the next few days.""You mean I have to go hear by myself????"Abby asked back with a gasp. Fear was clearly written on her face as she did not think that she could go back to that place, let alone say, by herself and without Eugene beside her."Of course! It was not like
"How much for these?"She heard Eugene asking out of the blue.Caught in between her tangled thoughts, Abby failed to realize that they already walked inside one of the emporiums. As such, when her soul was pulled back to reality, Abby almost jumped on her feet.Because standing not too far away from where she was, was a creature that was enough to give anyone a nightmare.Eugene, on the other hand, already expected such a reaction from Abby. So he was considerate enough to put his arm over Abby.Meanwhile, the warmth that he brought seemed to work its wonder at Abby because as soon as the other party felt his hand over her, she instantly calmed down.For some reason, Abby found Eugene's presence quite reassuring as though no harm would come in her way as long as the other party was around."T
"She is my apprentice, her name is Abby."Eugene said to introduced Abby and when they heard of Abby's name, they all nodded their head."Ahhh..."They all said in unison."Hi, I am Sephora. As you can see, I am an Echidna; an offspring of a warlock and a basilisk."The lady that seemed to man the store talked directly at Abby and used human language to introduced herself.Disregarding her creepy appearance, the other party seemed friendly, and judging from how well Eugene used to interact with her, it seemed that the other party was actually one of her regular customers."Hi, there. Please to meet you."Abby said and as if on instinct, she extended her hand to offer the other party a handshake.Meanwhile, when the other party saw this gesture,
"Book Galeria"Abby read the words written on the signboard hanging on its entrance.Meanwhile, seeing her read the store name and knowing that the other party was capable of comprehending the Marcellian language, Eugene no longer found the feat anything odd."Do you wish to buy something there?"Eugene asked when he noticed where Abby was looking at. Then he led the way and headed inside the bookshop.A Dryad welcomed them as soon as they arrived.The other party could easily pass off as a beautiful maiden if only one would not pay careful attention to her overall appearance.At first glance, she looked as though she was wearing a long gown that was made of tree vines and twigs, but upon closer observation, it was only then that one would realize that the vines were not just a mere gown but r
After coming to the bookshop, their next stop was a badge emporium, or so what was it said on its entrance."Good morning, Sir."The attendant greeted them as soon as they walked inside the store."This is where we will going to get your badge so that next time you come here, you can enter even without my presence."Eugene explained and Abby just nodded her head without saying a word.'This is it. This is really is it.'Abby thought to herself as the realization that she was plunging herself to the world of unknown and even getting a badge of her own, slowly dawned at her."You'll get used to it, eventually."As though sensing her building up agitation, Eugene gave her some words of reassurance.
Due to being busy managing the bags and walking at the same time, Abby failed to notice the incoming creature carrying a sack of weapon along her way.As a result, the two collided with one another and due to the huge difference in their size Abby was obviously on the disadvantageous side.The other party was like thrice the size of a normal man's height combined. It had six bulky arms attached in its body; all carrying a sack of their own.Although the other party managed to evade her at the last minute and only hit her side lightly, the sudden collision still made Abby lost her balance and she fell on the ground.Abby grazed her knees in the process but she did not notice it right away."Sorry"The other party muttered with his extremely big and deep voice. The other party leave as soon as he helped her up.
But then after fooling around, Eugene went back to the topic at hand and asked Abby again where did she get her injury."You can't seem to walk properly. What happened?""Someone bumped at me along the way and I fell on my feet. I sprained my left foot on the process due to that."Abby finally decided to tell the other party what really happened when she saw genuine concern from his eyes."You sure had a way of injuring yourself. Even when I first saw you, I already knew that you are clumsy. Try to be more careful next time"Eugene said then he bent on his knees, to look at Abby's fresh wound."Is this from that accident as well?"He said referring to the grazed skin that Abby had on her knees.
"We still have one last stop. But this time, I need you to behave."Eugene warned Abby with a stern expression.'Err? What is that for? It was not like I am unruly, right?'Abby thought to herself but nodded her head silently."I am serious Abby. Don't touch anything once we are inside the necro store. Most of the items there were cursed so you have to be extra careful.""Alright, I understand. Don't worry master I will not touch anything there. I promise."Abby swore and even raised her right hand to up complete her pledge.When they arrived at the store, Eugene instructed her to seat at the corner. But before leaving her alone, he found the need to warn her one last time."Remember
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
