LUO YAN looked around as they walked inside the vige of the demon fox tribe. The houses were very much inspired by Country R. Simr to the small houses found during ancient times. There were also cherry blossoms surrounding the vige, pink petals falling like a light rain shower. Add that to the kitsunes wearing kimonos and he just felt like he was walking in some kind of beautiful yokai vige.
He stretched out his hand and a single pink petal fell on his palm. And then he let it be swept by the wind.
The road to this ce was actually just behind the shrine where they were in just a fem minutes ago. So, the shrine was technically the entrance. yers, who were not of the demon fox tribe, wouldn’t be able to go inside unless they forced their way in or use the same method as Shen Ji Yun.
The vige was almost the same size as the vige of the moon elves. Showing how the poption of the two races must be almost the same. Which was probably pretty small inparison to other races.
He nced at Shen Ji Yun walking beside him, Eclipse sleeping soundly in his arms. "Brother Ji Yun, do you think we will meet another yer here?" he just thought of asking.
He had been back to the moon elves vige a couple of times now but he hadn’t met another moon elf yer. That was a bit understandable since moon elves were a newly added race. But how about these kitsunes?
Even though they were part of the rare category, getting this race on the random selection still had a higher percentagepared to the newly added special category. So, was there a possibility that they could meet a yer here? That’s why he thought of asking Shen Ji Yun.
"There’s a chance but the possibility is not that high," the other answered. "Most yers seldom go back to their origin vige once they’re allowed to leave. Probably because there’s not much items they could find there. Not only items but tasks as well."
Luo Yan nodded. He could understand the mentality of those yers. Especially if they were only ying the game for the sake of experiencing the virtual world. "If they’re patient enough, they could probably trigger a hidden task or even find a special item."
Shen Ji Yun chuckled. "Well, not everyone could be as patient as you."
Luo Yan stared at that small arc that Shen Ji Yun’s lips made when he chuckled. Ah, how handsome. If he always smiled like this, a lot of people would definitely be blinded.
As they continued to walk, he noticed how the kitsunes were looking at them warily. He really couldn’t me them. Considering what happened to their tribe a hundred years ago, being wary was only natural. The only reason they’re probably not attacking them was because the one leading them was Shirayuki.
It was quite obvious that this female kitsune had a high position in this tribe. As evidence of what those two kitsunes earlier had called her – High Priestess. Besides, she’s Kagetsuki’s sister. And even if the kitsunes were looking at them as if they’re enemies, they still didn’t forget to greet Shirayuki as they passed by. There’s no way she would just be an ordinary tribe member.
But it’s quite interesting to note that none of these kitsunes were reacting the same way that Shirayuki did when she first saw Dusk. He could only think of two reasons why. One, they were too scared to face against a dragon. And two, they were still not born a hundred years ago and thus didn’t have any grievances against Dusk.
Luo Yan was leaning more on thetter. Especially after seeing the number of their tails. Which were mostly four tails.
He nced back at Dusk who was pretending not to look around but one could still see that he was secretly doing so. He even looked like he was in a good mood. Most likely because of the number of high-grade Mana fruit that he just ate.
"Dusk, do you feel any nostalgia while being here?" he asked.
The dragon looked at him in confusion. "No, why would I?"
Although Luo Yan wasn’t expecting a positive answer, he still thought that the other would at least feel a bit confused. Just like his reaction to Kagetsuki’s statue earlier. After all, he’d been here before. As shown in those memories that Lhoris showed them. His confusion was then answered by what Shirayuki said next.
"This is not the location of our original vige. After- after what happened a hundred years ago, we needed to find a new home because our former one was no longer livable." One could hear the sadness and gloom in her voice. "It’s no longer a ce suitable for our tribe’s children to grow up."
Luo Yan could understand the sentiments. Leaving your home not because you wanted to but because of circumstances you couldn’t control. That’s the worst kind.
Soon, they stopped in front of a house that was not so big. But it wasn’t that small either. It was probably just enough for a family of three or four.
"This is my house. Please,e in," Shirayuki said to them while opening the front sliding door.
Luo Yan was a bit surprised hearing that. He actually thought that a person with Shirayuki’s status would at least live in some kind of mansion.
They followed her inside. The interior of the house was simple and very clean. At what would be considered as a living room, there was a tea table and cushions around it that people could probably sit on.
"Sir Yun, could you please bring Eclipse to this room?" Shirayuki said, opening another sliding door. She walked inside and opened a rectangr box. Then, she took out what seemed to be a cradle. "This item could help him stabilize his newly acquired Mana much faster. And thus, letting him have more control over his transformation. This way, it wouldn’t get in the way of his travels with you."
Luo Yan blinked. He wasn’t sure if he understood the meaning of thatst sentence correctly. So, he had to ask, "You mean, Miss Shirayuki is not nning on asking Eclipse to stay here?"
