Chapter 12: The Wind of Insight
update icon Updated at 2023/7/19 4:10:12

The dark night gradually shrouded the forest, with faint green lights surrounding the trees, resembling fireflies. Under the moonlit night, a blonde girl lay quietly on the boy's thigh, emitting a steady breathing sound.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Although they were still on the run, she seemed completely unaware of it. After taking a short rest, she fell into a deep sleep as if unconscious. It seemed like she hadn't had a proper rest during the days she was kidnapped.

Luo Chenxi had no intention of waking her up. He closed his eyes and planned to snore for a while. As time passed by, suddenly, the faint green lights in the distance began to flicker, causing Luo Chenxi to slightly open his eyes.

He gently moved Anna away from his thigh and let her lean against a tree to rest. Luo Chenxi observed the peaceful sleeping face of the girl and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It had been almost a day since he arrived in this world. Although he had originally wanted to pursue a life of freedom, ever since he met Anna, he hadn't had a moment of peace and had been on the road with this little troublemaker. However, he didn't feel as irritated as he had expected; instead, he found himself sharing many heartfelt conversations with her. Perhaps it was because she was different from those women who used sweet words... Anna's mind was full of random thoughts, but she had an honest character and couldn't keep secrets. Even if she lied, it was full of loopholes. After half a day of interaction, these were the impressions that Anna left on Luo Chenxi.

Being around Anna made Luo Chenxi inexplicably happy. He rarely felt so at ease when interacting with others. Perhaps it was because of the constant suspicion and scheming in his previous life that he developed this habit of distrusting others. Luo Chenxi looked up and saw the starry sky, the stars scattered like shattered gold on a silver platter. He had never seen such a sight in the brightly lit city where he used to live. If life in the future could be as peaceful as it was now, how good would that be? Luo Chenxi thought to himself, but he also knew that he had not yet found his footing, and seeking a stable life at this moment would be too hasty. "It's really troublesome..." He sighed and shook his head helplessly, then quietly left the place and headed deeper into the forest. However, he didn't notice that after he left, a faint movement appeared in the corner of the girl's eye...

...

A middle-aged man walked along the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, a young boy appeared silently from the forest and stood in front of him. Slu was surprised by Luo Chenxi's sudden appearance because he couldn't sense any magic power from the boy. But when he noticed the boy's black hair, he immediately guessed his identity!

Frowning, Slu locked his sharp gaze on the boy, his refined pupils exuding a strong suppressing aura. "To be able to find me, indeed...you're not an ordinary person!"

"Just an ordinary high school student..." Luo Chenxi said casually. At the same time, a gust of wind accompanied by a faint green light brushed his ear, gently blowing his hair, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Wind of Insight!?" Slu's face showed astonishment as he immediately recognized the physical form of the green wind. It was an advanced wind attribute reconnaissance magic. So his whereabouts had already been exposed!

"I think I know now why Smov died at the hands of a little brat like you!" This boy's wind magic seemed to surpass even that demonic beast!
