“Ah…”
Alex woke up abruptly, only to find that he was lying straight on the ground. It was still the same place. The setting sun was still shining down on the old trees next to him. His face was still wet from Hayley’s tears.
“Where is she? Where did she go?”
Alex touched the bracelet on his wrist. Her body scent seemed to linger on it, yet an unspeakable heartache surged inside his heart. After recapping the little details of today’s incident, Alex discovered that Hayley’s action actually revealed an intention of bidding farewell to him.
What had happened to her?
“We both love each other, but we have no luck getting together. I’ll sever this tie so that we will be separated.” Alex heard her words. He also heard her heart-wrenching cry.
People said that first love was always the most memorable.
It was ignorant, youthful, innocent, and beautiful at that time. It was not because he had acquired it but because he had experienced it.
‘What on earth happened to you?’ Thinking of that deep-rooted cry, Alex began to shed tears.
Whoosh!
Shelly ran out of the mind palace.
“Hey, Casanova! Men cry too, huh?”
Alex glanced at her. “What did you come out to see?”
Shelly said, “To watch a show. I watched teen drama all day long today. Unfortunately, the male lead turned out to be a fat uncle. Wasn’t he embarrassed for courting an innocent, young lady?”
Alex asked, “It’s better than you, a midget who never grows up, right? Did you get courted by a man?”
Shelly snorted coldly. “Men are blockheads. Whoever dares to court me, I’ll chop him off.”
‘What a female psycho. She’s so ruthless, she deserves to be an old virgin.’
“Hey! I want to tell you that your girlfriend is not that simple,” said Shelly.
“I could tell that. She’s the first person who could knock me out instantly, ” Alex said. “Her body was filled with a devilish aura and surging demonic Chi, but that demonic Chi was very special! During the daytime today, her body was calm as usual and was no different from normal people. However, once it erupted, the power was terrifying. I even sense law energy that was more powerful than that of the Ancestor Witches.”
He looked up to the sky. The storm clouds were still rolling in. That scream shook the space over a million miles. It was genuinely shocking.
If Ancestor Bodhi could peep at will, his eyes must be gouged out.
***
“Whitey!”
Alex found the cat demon. He asked it to take him to the Cat Temple.
“No way! I can’t take humans in.”
“If my guess is right, your cat ancestor is gone.”
Whitey objected. “Impossible. Don’t try to deceive me.”
Shelly said, “He didn’t deceive you. You can see for yourself. After that, come back and tell us.”
Whitey went there.
