Chapter 1076

(Unedited)



"Eeek!!!"

A high-pitched cry coming from the direction of a small river inside the forest reverberated through the air as a petite figure came dashing towards a tall tree.

Meanwhile, behind that petite figure are two monkeys with a height of about 2-meters, they have red fur and long black tails. The two seem to be very angry and are chasing after that figure as if she just stole their parents or something.

"Little Brother Jiao please help me!" she shouted as she wanted to jump to a tree branch..

However, she is unable to do so as something seems to be pulling her weight. She suddenly realized the runes on her ankles and wanted to remove them.

Atop the tree, a young man has his arms crossed while watching this scene.

"Are you really going to be a cry baby? Are you not going to change?" Xin Ja said while lifting one of his brows.

"You… *sob *sob" Yao Xue began crying but then she shifted her gaze at the incoming monkey, and suddenly threw some runes on the ground.

They landed precisely where she wanted them to land and then suddenly inserted themselves on the ground.

When the monkeys appear in front of her and then saw that the female human seem to be trapped and unable to go anywhere else, they suddenly sneered at her while pointing at her with their sharp claws. One of them even licked its snout as if it just saw a very delectable meal.

But Yao Xue knew that that animal is thinking when she noticed that thing between his legs suddenly becoming longer.

She could not help but curse out in her mind at the beasts.

She already knew of these kinds of monkeys. They are one of the most dastardly creatures in this part of the forest as they would always try to peek or even rȧpė any female they could see. Luckily these creatures are not that strong… when they are alone. But since they always go in pairs or more, that makes them a bit dangerous especially for those that are only in the 1st level.

Uuuh!… Aaah!...

Yao Xue immediately became tense while she slowly takes out a small box from her leather bag. Then with a flick, the small box flew up and the folding stone sword appears in her hand. She caught the box and hid it back inside her pouch.

She immediately signaled for the two to attack her. It was like her confidence is back and the previous scaredy-cat attitude disappear.

It is unknown to Xin Ja if this is her true self or the timid one. But her temperament changes and she became someone that he could not seem to recognize. It was like she became a new person, different from before.

The Ki aura in her body slowly revolves and though she is only in level one, she has learned some skills from Xin Ja.

Suddenly, one of the monkeys attacked with its claws targeting her side. It was not a fatal strike as the monkeys seems to have the idea of capturing her alive.

The other monkey also attacked a second after its companion moved. It was as if the two is in tandem as they wanted to corner their prey.

Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!!

Two claws whizzed through the air one on her left and one on her right. In that split of a second, Yao Xue was able to execute the shadow steps that Xin Ja taught her and was able to dodge those strikes.

In their travels, Xin Ja taught her two fighting skills which she would be forever grateful for, they are the Humming Blade and Shadow Steps. Those are the basic skills that Xin Ja taught her which according to Shin Jiao are the basic things that he has learned.

When Yao Xue saw an opening, she feigns an attack which made the monkey feel threatened and suddenly became a bit berserk.

It was like they are being challenged by their prey which made their pride as a predator being challenged.

The two monkeys' eyes suddenly glowed and they began to do frenzy attacks at Yao Xue. She carefully dodges each of their attacks while also carefully backing away. However, her dodging speed is not that refined yet, so she would receive some wounds on her arms.

As of now, after a long time of traveling, Yao Xue's black robe is already in tatters. The long sleeves of the robe have now been shortened and are now a bit higher than her elbows.

After a while of dodging, Yao Xue's expression changed, and a slight smirk appeared on her beautiful face.

"Gotcha! Rune Activate!" she shouted.

Suddenly, the two monkeys began to feel like they just entered a bog. Their movements became really slow and they are unable to hasten their speed no matter how much they tried.

Yao Xue smirked and without hesitation, she quickly approaches them and with a slice of her stone sword, she was able to lop off their heads.

She knew that stabbing them on their stomach would ruin their leather. But if she could cleanly cut off their heads, then she would be able to preserve their skin.

After seeing that her enemies are already defeated, Yao Xue heaves a sigh of relief and weakly slumps on the ground. She has expended both her mental and physical strength in that fight. However, she also feels a sense of excitement in her heart while fighting against the beasts. She did not know why, but it seems that she likes it.

"Good job…" a young voice said as a masked youth jumped down from the tree.

"So… What do you think?" she asked while still trying to catch her breath and trying to calm herself down.

"I think you are ready now… It's time for me to leave…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Yao Xue turned sad.

"Are… Are you really that desperate to get rid of me? I mean… *sob *sob…" she suddenly began sobbing.

Xin Ja felt a bit flabbergasted. His plan that is supposed to only last for a day or two has now turned into 2 weeks.

He did not know why, but deep inside of him, he did not want to leave the young woman alone. But he is also being bothered by the ethics taught to him by his father. She could not covet other man's women.

If this happens to him, then he would also get angry.

"Sigh… Big Sister Xue… You… you are almost a married woman. I did not want to…"

"Stop! You also know that my fiancée actually wanted me dead! You know… dead!" Yao Xue shouted as tears began flowing down her eyes.

Then she began crying while looking straight at Xin Ja's eyes.

She just glared at him and did not avert her eyes while tears came out nonstop. Out of all the people in her life, only two have shown her genuine care. One is her helpless mother, and the other one is the young man before her.

She might have not shown her his face, but she could tell that the young man is actually a good person. He taught her skills that she could never hope to learn while in the Yao family. So in a sense, although she is older than the young man by a few months, she could still consider him as her master.

Without hesitation, she suddenly kneeled with one leg and lifted her cupped hand towards Xin Ja.

"Please… Little… I mean… Please, Master! Please take me in…" she said with a praising and a pleading tone.

"This… " Xin Ja began scratching his head feeling a bit awkward at this scene.

"Sigh… Do you know who I am?" he suddenly said.

"If you knew who I really am, then you might not take me as your master…" he said with a helpless shrug.

And 2 weeks from now, he is going to join the Ogden academy, if the woman would still follow him there, then that would be very troublesome for him and her. He could not afford to offend the Yao family. He would not be able to forgive himself if his father would be dragged down because of this problem.

"I don't care… If you are afraid that people will recognize me… I… I actually learned a rune spell to change my face temporarily… I will not be a burden to you… promise!" she added feeling a bit desperate.
