Chapter 15 3..2..1..FIGHT!

|We walked for what felt like 5 hours but we still have yet to arrive at the place that Haoxuan had found|

" Hey can we take a break I really can't walk anymore, If we don't I might lose my legs "

Stop whining we're almost there it's just a few more miles.

"A FEW MORE MILES!"

|I land on my butt exasperated|

"Are you trying to kill me !? How did you even go to a place that far !?I only slept for an hour and you went to a place five hours away!

I was just having a run and I found the place a few kilometers away that's all.

"Hold on you RAN there,how fast are you then!?

| He looks at me with a smirk on his face|

You'll know how fast I am when we get there since that is where we're sparring,now get up or do want to take even more time to get there.

"I really can't walk anymore my legs are numb...can you carry me?

| He looks at me with wide eyes|

"What aren't we close enough to do that ? If it was you who was in my place I would've carried you.

| He looks away embarrassed|

This doesn't mean anything don't you dare have any weird and crazy thoughts do you understand !

[ This fool !]

"What nonsense are you spouting you're just helping me out what is there to think about!"

...

"Are you carrying me or not!"

Fine fine i'll do it but this is the last time I'm doing this!

| I roll my eyes at him, than a mischievous thought pops in my mind|

"I don't mind if you don't do this for me but what about your poor futur wife.If she was here wouldn't she be aggrieved if she heard your words"

{ ;)}

Uh..I-I give up I can't talk to you let's go and please I beg of you stop talking you should might as well stun me to death.

"Alright alright I'll stop blessing you with my voice."

/Haoxuans mind: blessing my ass/

| Few minutes passed and we finally arrive at the location,but what I saw blew my mind.It was a field with an oak tree that has to be at least 200 feet tall with a medium sized hole big enough to sleep in and I could see a few beautiful looking flowers spread around it.|

"Haoxuan why didn't you tell me that this place was heaven on earth I would've even ran all the way over here!

| I jump off his back and ran straight where the big tree was,his lips twitch slightly|

"The tree looks so big! I love it here! Haoxuan can this be our official place from the time being."

So you like it?

"Of course I do, what kind of question is that,who wouldn't love such a place only a bad person wouldn't,nature has always been a beautiful thing!"

| I observed a brief smile on his face while I was talking about how I loved this place but it quickly vanished|

[ Did he just smile or are my eyes playing tricks on me.]

Qingqing did you forget about the sparring session we we're going to have.

| I stare at him surprised|

"Did you just call me qingqing,since when did we become so close ?"

Why not, you gave me a nickname I should give you yours no? Besides you called yourself that last time I should thank you for that, you gave me a nickname to use on you so we're even now.Then are we starting or not.

|I squint my eyes at him |

"Fine but before we start let's make a bet.If I win you'll never call me qingqing again but I'll keep calling you Xuan and you'll have to accept it."

| He looks at me and smirks|

Alright then, and if I win you'll have to call me brother Xuan.I'm starting to like the name so I'll let you keep it.

|I look at him in disbelief|

But I want you to say it with respect.Also me calling you qingqing will remain a thing.Is that a deal?

[ Brother my butt not in a million years will I futur Queen Lu Qing ever call you 'brother'.You don't even act like one.]

"Deal!"

|A chilling smile spreads across his typically impassive face, sending a shiver down my spine making me question if I did the right decision.|

[Why is he smiling like that...Did I make the right choice?]

You can make the first move.

"Such a gentleman."

| I activate invisibility and lunge at him with full speed.|

/Haoxuans mind : She can turn invisible! To bad I'm more experienced than you./

I use my scratch skill with all my might but he dodges to the side without much effort shocking me to no end for a few seconds. Those few seconds gave him the time to land a powerful kick to my stomach and it made my invisibility skill turn off|

<-10 HP>

"How the hell did you see me !?"

I didn't I just smelled your scent.That little thing of yours doesn't work on me my senses are more sensitive than the average fox.

| He responds with a proud look on his face.|

"Don't get too cocky"

It's my turn now.

| He runs full speed at me and made a slash movement with his claws paired with a strong gust of wind and I tried to dodge the attack but I still felt a piercing pain on my abdomen area.|

< - 15 HP>

[ Sh*t ! I'm already at 45 HP.How is he so damn strong, I should stop before I get even more injured]

"STOP stop I yield I won't win with my capabilities this- you are way to strong for me to fight with."

[ And I was thinking I could win,he hid it so well too. I've never seen him use that skill before!And I bet he was planing this]

But we just started, I haven't even used my full power yet.

|Surprise and anger takes over me|

"YOU-I'M ALREADY INJURED DO YOU WANT ME TO GET CRIPPLED TO FEEL SATISFIED!?"

|He looks at me with a tinge of regret in his eyes,when he looks at the faint scratch mark in my abdomen.|

I'm sorry,I didn't mean to hurt you.

|I look at him before taking a deep breath to calm down.|

I yield you win. So I should follow your side of the deal.And don't worry it's not that bad.

Um...yeah

"Sigh 'brother Xuan' you don't have to feel bad about it .This was sparring after all, we would've gotten injured eventually right?

I know that.

" Then can you lighten up or should I make you laugh."

|He smirks|

Since when did you make me laugh you only give me trouble.

YOU-(sigh)

I guess you like to tease me since you have that stupid smirk on your face again

...

Is your injury alright?

"I'm fine it'll heal you don't need to worry about it."

|As the sun sets we both sleep in the oak tree.|
