Chapter 451: Catching Up!
Hearing the voice echoing in the empty room, not just Xin Yan, even Noah froze. Clearly, both of them did not expect someone to interrupt them at that moment.
Feeling the shift in the air, they turned to look at the same position. With a bright glow on the ground, a small puff of green mist suspended from the ground.
*Woosh*
Xin Yan's lips twitched, seeing the mist swirling and taking the form of a figure. 'What a show-off.'
Noah got up from his seating position when the mist started to disperse from the ground.
Seeing the woman sitting on a wooden bench, Noah felt his heart flutter. The first thing to appear was her barefoot jade feet.
Dawned in golden brown robes that complimented her beauty, the green-haired woman sat with her leg crossing over another.
Resting her face on the right palm, she looked at Noah with a whirlpool of emotions in her eyes.
She could feel Noah's eyes roaming all over her body, checking her out. She did not shy away from his gaze, but it made her actions more proactive in front of him.
This time, Elysia made a lot of changes in her appearance. Her dress looked more Western than eastern.
Her twin braided loose hairstyles gave her a mature look. Most importantly, she was wearing accessories she never wore till now.
'Where did she get the idea to dress up like that?' Xin Yan narrowed her eyes, seeing the woman's blatant attempt to seduce Noah.
It was not that she did not mind her actions, but she did not want to be the person who comes in the middle of Noah's happiness.
From the corner of her eye, she could see the look in Noah's eyes. It was similar to the look she saw when they were on the date.
But this time, it was directed at the green-haired woman.
Noah opened his mouth, and the first thing that came out of his mouth was not his compliments on her dress or her new outfit, they were the feelings he had the moment he saw her.
"I missed you."
Hearing the words, Elysia froze, clearly not expecting those words as well. She smiled back at him, her eyes moistened. She rushed forward and jumped into Noah's embrace. "I missed you as well."
Despite being able to see Noah all the time, Elysia missed the feeling of standing beside him, the feeling of his eyes looking into hers, the feeling of his affection directed towards her.
*Sniff!*
The ability to sniff his scent!
She missed them all!
As if sensing what she was doing, a vein popped on Xin Yan's forehead and hands. Her eyes darkened as she slowly made her way toward Elysia.
Seeing the dark look in her eyes, Noah did not say anything and removed his hands from the woman, raising them into the air.
The smile on his face never faltered as he saw a familiar scene happening before his eyes.
"Eeek!" Elysia squealed, feeling the cold sensation on her knees as she was practically torn away from Noah.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"Wait, wait!!" Elysia was caught off guard when she saw the pair of chilling blue eyes looking at her. She tried to struggle, only to fail.
"You didn't even meet me after coming back… that's bad, we have to do something about it." Xin Yan spoke without any ounce of emotion in her voice as she pulled Elysia into the corner of the room by her head.
Noah turned his eyes away while maintaining his smile as if nothing was happening in the room.
'What a good day.'
…
Time passed as the silence returned to the room. Noah was sitting back in his place with his eyes closed.
Before him sat Xin Yan with her eyes fixed on him. Beside her sat the long-eared woman with an aggrieved expression on her face.
But despite her expressions, there was a small smile on her face as she sneaked glances at the two other people in the room.
"Are you okay?" Noah broke the silence by asking, his eyes containing a hint of worry as he looked at Elysia.
Elysia's whole demeanor changed instantly. She looked at Noah with a smile and replied, "I am fine."
"During the time I was away, I spent my time looking at everything that was happening on this planet." Elysia changed the topic, her face turned serious as she relayed the importance of her words.
"The last time I looked at everything like this was probably a hundred years ago, and a lot of things have changed during this short time."
"The Red Dawn Cult, as we call them, have been making a lot of moves throughout this continent. Not just this empire, even the ones to the north and the west are facing the same thing as us."
"How are these empires faring against these mysterious disappearances?"
"Not good but not bad as well. There is one empire that still could not find the reason for disappearances. While the rest were able to find out about them on time, either due to luck or out of good forces."
Noah sighed hearing her words; things were better than he predicted. As long as they were able to find the existence of a force brewing in the dark, they could take their own measures to deal with them.
But there were still two problems…
One being the mind control powers of the enemy and the last kingdom, that had not even found the cause of the disappearances.
"Even then, these empires would have a hard time dealing with the members of these cults."
"That is where you are wrong." Hearing the words coming from Xin Yan, Elysia shook her head. "These empires are not weak. Their heritage is just as old as the empire itself. If not for Wuhan and the previous ruler, the Feng Empire would not even have the chance to stand toe to toe with these empires."
