Chapter 219: Shopping Spree
After Angus tells the story about his fight, '*Sigh* Just how the hell my little brother managed to raise him. He is really a troublemaker.' thought Jade inwardly.
Angus didn't tell about the repercussions and the wound he got from the fight, but he noticed that Jayna somehow looked at him worriedly.
'I guess I will get another lecture later.' thought Angus inwardly.
"Alright, at least with this, the other village's alliance is broken. According to our spy, most of their force is destroyed, and one of them even gets completely destroyed, leaving only their village leader alone." explained Jade.
Then, they begin to discuss various things before Angus goes back with Jayna and Anna. Along the way, Angus meets with Ilgor.
"Master, I am glad you are safe." said Ilgor.
"Yeah, Thanks for your hard work. Oh yeah, this is Anna. Starting from now, she will stay with us." said Angus introducing Anna.
"As you wish, master." replied Ilgor respectfully.
"Anna, this is Ilgor. He is one of us. So, don't try to kill him. Okay?" said Angus to Anna.
"Ehh… But, Angus, he is weak like a bubble." said Anna bluntly.
"Weak??" replied Ilgor.
"Haha.. Just ignore her statement. She often says something nonsense." said Angus.
"But, It's true the green one is weak. Even Angus's lover is stronger than the green one." replied Anna.
"Little girl, I suggest you pay attention to your words." said Ilgor.
Looking at Ilgor starting to fuming being called weak, "Alright, that's enough. Anna, why don't you play with uncle Ilgor first. Later, I will take you to buy some clothes. But, remember not to use that thing." said Angus.
"Alright, then. I will play with the green one. Anna will keep him from bursting like a bubble." said Anna excitedly before dragging Ilgor away, leaving Angus and Jayna alone.
"Is it alright to leave Anna alone?" asked Jayna.
"Don't worry, although she seems childish, she is actually pretty smart and knows how to behave." replied Angus.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArriving at the tent, Angus immediately gets hugged by Jayna. Suddenly, Jayna opens Angus's long sleeve and sees the bandage all over his body. Although he already applied potion to his wound, it still takes time to heal his outer wound.
"Angus, this is.." said Jayna while starting to tear up.
"Jayna, it's okay, I am fine." said Angus trying to calm her down.
"Does it hurt?" asked Jayna.
"Jayna, I am real…" said Angus.
Before he finished his sentence, "Does it hurt?" asked Jayna once again.
"A little bit. But, I could withstand it." replied Angus truthfully.
Then, Jayna loosens Angus's clothes and sees his body riddled with various scars and shallow wounds under a bandage. Angus didn't resist and let Jayna inspect his body. Looking at Angus's body, Jayna couldn't help but tear up.
"Why??" asked Jayna while taking out Angus's bandage.
"Because she is similar to me." replied Angus.
After being silent for a while, "Do you hate her?" asked Angus.
Jayna shook her, "No, I trust your judgment. But, I still can't bear to see you hurt. What if.. what if you…" said Jayna.
Angus cut Jayna's sentence by deeply kissing her mouth.
"I am sorry." said Angus softly before he embraced Jayna.
Then, they begin to spend time embracing each other. In the meantime, the people in the ancestral ruin begin to pack their things. There are only three days before the Ancestral Ruin closes.
After it closes, the beast in the inner area will come to the outer area and make the place full of monsters. Moreover, the moment the entrance is closed, it prevents anything from passing through until the next opening time. In summary, it becomes a closed space full of monsters.
No one wants to be entrapped inside the Ancestral Ruin for one year along with the monster. So, most of the people decide to leave early. Even the Battlefield Arena is also empty and closed at this moment.
Only a few merchants that still try to sell their merchandise are still staying inside the Ancestral Ruin. During this time, news about the other village leaders breaking their alliance and going to their respective territories spread.
This news travels fast and makes the Sur village camp relieved in joy. All this time, they are in a continuous alert state and ready to fight to death anytime. However, now it has changed. All of this is thanks to Angus's infiltration.
Although they know that the one that obliterated the other village's force is the devastating shockwave. But, they also realize that because Angus managed to poison the enemy camp, the other village is crumbling.
Because of this, most of the Sur villagers are thankful and often praise Angus. Some young generations even make him their idol.? However, this matter only makes Neil, who hears the praise, become madder.
Uncomfortable hearing the praise and gossip around, Neil leaves the camp alone with an angry attitude.
"Young master, where are you going?" asked Neil's guard.
"Shut up. Leave me alone!!" yelled Neil.
"It's alright, dude. Just leave him alone for now and enjoy the celebration. He needs some time alone. There is also no danger in this place." said the other guard.
"*Sigh* I hope you are right." replied the other guard.
"Damn, you guard. How could they look down at me!!" cursed Neil while he went around the Ancestral Ruin.
Finally, he arrived inside the last remaining bar tavern that was still open. He immediately ordered some alcoholic drinks.
"Tch.. This is all because of him. He is just an outsider, yet he dared to… *Glup* *Glup* Fuck it!! It should be me that they are praised. I am the genius one, not him." grumbled Neil while drinking some alcoholic bottles.
The other customer couldn't help but look at Neil weirdly because of his grumble.
Noticing the stare, "What are you looking at?!! Do you want to die!!" spat Neil.
The other customer immediately ignores Neil and thinks of him as a troublemaker. Many people like Neil often come to the tavern and become more violent after getting drunk.
Being ignored by the others, Neil continues his grumbling while getting drunk. Unbeknown to him, a person hears his complaint silently with a smile. After emptying many alcoholic bottles, Neil leaves the tavern with an angry attitude.
Walking aimlessly, he unconsciously entered an alleyway while getting drunk. Inside the alleyway, Neil found a person with a cloak blocking his path.
Seeing this, "Move it, you moron." said Neil while still drunk.
However, the blocking person didn't move and stayed silent.
"Are you deaf?!! I said move it!!" yelled Neil.
"Kukuku… To think the genius young master Neil is reduced to this state." said the other person in a cloak.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Y-You what do you say?!!" shouted Neil while charging at the person.
Suddenly, an invisible pressure comes from the cloaking person towards Neil. Neil couldn't help but slump on the ground, sweating and coming out from his drunken state.
"W-Who are you?!! You can't kill me. This is the Ancestral Ruin!!" said Neil frantically.
"Worry not. I don't have any intention of harm you, young master Neil." said the cloaking person.
"What did you say?!!" Yelled Neil as the cloaking person released his pressure.
"So, I hear you hate this outsider?" asked the person while revealing his cloak.
"Y-You are…" said Neil.
In the meantime, Angus and Jayna currently look at Ilgor fighting against Anna in close combat. *Bum* *Bak* *Buk* Anna launches a series of attacks towards Ilgor using her small fist.
Although it is small, the force is powerful enough to knock out any ordinary second-grade combatant. Ilgor needs all his strength just to withstand the attack.
Looking at that, Ilgor is getting bullied by Anna and almost enters a berserk state, "Anna, that's enough. Let's go. We need to buy your clothes before all the merchants leave." called Angus.
Hearing Angus call, Anna stops beating Ilgor and goes towards Angus like an energetic child.
"Angus, are you done mating?" asked Anna bluntly.
"*Burst* M-Mating?!!" replied Jayna beside Angus.
"Err.. Anna, you cannot say that in public casually, and no, we are not mating. Not yet, right Jayna?" said Angus.
"Y-Yeah.. We didn't do anything." replied Jayna while blushing while muttering something in a low voice.
"Anyway, let's go shopping now. If we don't hurry, all the merchants will be leaving already." said Jayna trying to divert the topic.
"Alright, then Ilgor, rest for and tend yourself. We will be back soon." said Angus while going away with Jayna and Anna.
Soon, they found some clothing stores that were still open and decided to buy various clothes for Anna. However, looking at the high-quality clothes the stores sell, Jayna couldn't help but want to buy for herself, especially those with red and crimson colors.
Seeing Jayna also shopping for some clothes, '*Sigh* a woman will always be a woman. But, it seems her preference towards red is more dominant than before. This should be because of the Fire Phoenix. I hope she doesn't change too much.' thought Angus inwardly.
After a few hours of endless trying all the clothes in the few stores, they finally end their shopping. At this time, Angus once again experiences the horror of a woman's shopping since his shopping with her mother at the capital.
