BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205: Spirit beast
' This is it!! It's now or never, I'll tell him everything. ' she thought with a determined look and stood in front of Jayden.
******
Jayden was walking back towards home after leaving the treasure pavilion. After the sect competition, he decided to deal with Peng and the third elder.
But the thing that was bugging him the most was the dark energy he had been sensing around him.
Whoever was following him was a lot stronger than him, but that made it even more confusing, if it was someone so powerful then why were they just following him and not attacking directly?
" Jayden, I have a piece of extremely bad news for you. " While walking, Goddess Damuda's voice rang out in his head.
For a moment his steps halted, then continuing his walk, he asked: " What is it now? It is somehow related to that dark energy, right? "
" Yes, it's related to that. " Damuda said and then added. " I believe Bael is aware of your existence. "
" Wait- what? " Jayden was stunned, so much so that he asked in a loud voice, grabbing everyone's attention. Then acting as if nothing had happened, he began to walk again.
" He knows I'm in this world and I'm here to kill him? Did he have the ability to see the future or something? " Jayden asked, he couldn't make sense of anything.
" Something similar, he must have someone with the ability to do divinations around him. That's the most logical explanation. " She said.
" Hooo, wait first tell me why do you believe that he knows about me? " Jayden questioned, he hoped that it was just a guess from her.
" The thing you've been sensing recently, it's the pet Bael received as a gift after killing Belphegor, it's one of the rarest beasts in the entire universe. There's most probably not a second of its type. " Damuda explained.
" Holy shit " he cursed, then asks: " If it is so powerful then why hasn't it attacked me yet? "
" Divinations only tell a small part of the future, just like a puzzle so Bael knows that you are a threat, but he doesn't know what level of threat are you.
That's why he had sent his pet to deal with you instead of coming here himself, he must have sent it along with a few other people.
So because of such a vast distance between him and the beast, its strength will definitely be affected greatly. " Damuda said, but it wasn't the end yet and she continued.
" It's definitely a unique beast, for it to be able to enter the Beginning Kingdom despite the kingdom being under my protection, but that also means that its strength was reduced even further because of the limitations in this Kingdom.
And so it can't even use 3 to 4% of its original strength, therefore it is observing you to make a judgement of your total strength before attacking you. " She concluded.
" Damn, then won't it be even more dangerous to leave the kingdom? " He asked, as a deep frown appeared on his face.
" For them finding you in the Beginning Kingdom is much more easier than finding you outside of the kingdom.
Since this Kingdom is a lot smaller than the outside world and the forest that surrounds it is quite dangerous even for the men he had sent. " She explained. " His men must be waiting outside the kingdom, I believe."
" And this beast, what kind of abilities does it have? " He asked.
" I'm not sure, but it definitely is quite powerful since it was able to enter the kingdom and my guess is that it is a Spirit Beast. " Damuda said.
" Spirit beast? What are they? I don't think there is any mention of such a thing in this Kingdom. " Jayden asked puzzlement.
As Jayden was talking to Damuda, he hadn't noticed it but an extremely beautiful girl walked in front of him. Without even glancing at her, he ignored her existence and slightly diverting his path, he walked past her.
Xiao Rong stared at Jayden in disbelief, she just stood there for a few seconds with her mouth wide open. He ignored her like some stone on the road.
Then collecting her composure, she ran behind him and this time stood directly in front of him, making him stop in his tracks.
Jayden looked forward in surprise, he was so engrossed in his conversation that he hadn't noticed her at all.
Only when she stood in front of him did he notice her, looking at her face Jayden showed no emotion, then with a small smile he spoke:
" Hello Ms Xiao, Congratulations on your marriage. " After saying that, he didn't pay any more attention to her and stepping to the side, he began to walk again, after all, he had more pressing matters to think about than to listen to her.
Xiao Rong's worst fear came true, what she was hoping to not happen, actually happened.
' He definitely hates me now. ' she thought. The colour that had returned to her face drained instantly, in his eyes she couldn't see any kind of emotions towards her like before.
It was like he was just talking to a stranger, and she could tell that he wasn't just pretending to not care, he had actually moved on.
Her head was buzzing and all the surrounding sounds became more and more distant in her head.
Xiao has been dreaming of meeting him and then confessing her feelings for him, then they would be together forever.
But now it seems everything is going to end all because of her stupid choice. She could feel an ache in her heart, that was infinite times more painful than the feeling she got when not being able to cultivate.
As the distance in between them grew, her heart fell even further, but she wasn't ready to just give up when it took her so long to understand her feelings.
Blinking her tears away, she ran behind him again and stopped him by standing in his way. Jayden looked annoyed, he was talking about Bael with Damuda but Xiao Rong kept distracting him.
" What is it? And make it short, I don't have much time. " Jayden said, disappeared the love and gentleness Xiao once saw in his eyes.
Seeing the look in his eyes, she felt even more devastated, ' Didn't he said moving on from your love isn't easy, then why did he look like he doesn't care about me anymore? ' she thought, holding back her tears.
" Uh... I- I wanted to tell you that I've broken my engagement with Qiang. " She said, hoping to see a happy expression on his face.
