BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
84 - Xia Ling Qing [2]

Chu Kai held a ceramic cup containing herbal medicine in his hand. He had already gulped three times because his heart objected to helping infuse this medicine on a Wei Zhang Zihan.

"What else are you waiting for? Hurry up, I really want to see it." Wei Shezi opened his voice and irritated Chu Kai.

"Why do you want to see such an absurd thing? Basic," Chu Kai reached out and patted Wei Zhang Zihan's arm. Hoping that this young man could wake up so he did not need to do something that made goosebumps.

"Declaration Wei? Swordsman Wei..!" Chu Kai tried to summon Wei Zhang Zihan but still did not succeed. He rubbed his face before starting to catch his breath.

"Well, I'll close my eyes." Chu Kai took a sip of quite a lot of herbal medicine before placing the cup on a table.

With one hand, Chu Kai began to slowly raise Wei Zhang Zihan's chin and lowered his head. He closed his eyes and just as the lips were barely touching - the doors behind him opened very hard.

The shocked Chu Kai spouted the medicine in his mouth onto Wei Zhang Zihan's face. He moved away and coughed a few times. Chu Kai was again shocked to realize what he had done.

"Gosh-"

"What are you doing?" the voice of a woman interrupted and made Chu Kai turn around. The figure who opened the door violently was none other than Xia Ling Qing.

"No-Miss Xia?!" Chu Kai was about to open his voice when the bitter taste on his tongue started to interfere. He took the water on the table and drank it.

Xia Ling Qing walked to the place where Wei Zhang Zihan was lying. The face of this young man was a bit dirty because it was sprayed by Chu Kai. Xia Ling Qing looked at the green-eyed young man before starting to open his voice.

"What do you want to do with him?" Xia Ling Qing asked and made Chu Kai blink.

"I.. Want to give the drug to Swordsman Wei,"

"Tsk," Xia Ling Qing took out a cup containing herbal medicine on the table and then directly clamped Wei Zhang Zihan's nose until the young man's mouth opened.

!!!

"Geez, she's a very rude girl." Wei Shezi's voice sounded in Chu Kai's head and it seemed like the young man was thinking the same thing.

"It's over, now clean his face." Xia Ling Qing sat on a chair and was seen staring intently at Chu Kai.

Of course, this suddenly changing atmosphere made Chu Kai tense. The young man even had trouble swallowing his saliva and had no choice but to sit on the bedside, right beside Wei Zhang Zihan who had not yet woken up.

Chu Kai cleaned Wei Zhang Zihan's face with his handkerchief. He did so carefully while occasionally staring at Xia Ling Qing. The blue-clothed girl continued to show her a cold expression.

"Ehm... Miss Xia, are you okay?" Chu Kai opened his voice. Her tone sounded slow and a little uneasy as she was worried that Xia Ling Qing would get angry at her.

"You brought us here?" Xia Ling Qing asked without a tone and made Chu Kai tense up.

"Mn, be-really."

"After you've finished cleaning it, come down and eat. You need to rest, too,"

!!

Chu Kai flinched, he blinked a few times and showed an incredulous expression as Xia Ling Qing was not angry at all. He got up from his seat and awkwardly walked towards the door.

"I-I will bring you some food here," Chu Kai opened his voice and was only given a soft mutter by Xia Ling Qing. The young man again showed an incredulous expression.

After closing the door and leaving Xia Ling Qing inside Wei Zhang Zihan's room, Chu Kai walked down the stairs and continued to think about it. He was seen scratching his head which was not itchy.

"Why did Miss Xia Ling Qing react like that? Does he not remember?" Chu Kai rubbed his chin and muttered, "He really isn't mad at me."

"Do you really want him to scold you?" wei Shezi's voice sounded.

Chu Kai shook his head, "I would naturally prefer if he could smile and be kind to me. But I guess if he behaves like that... I'll feel uncomfortable. I'm more used to his rude attitude,"

"Do you have a masochistic tendency?"

"Ma-what?"

"You prefer it when he's rude to you. That's M's character."

"Who likes it, do I say it?"

"You just said it tofu!"

"I don't know what planetary language you're using. Stop talking," Chu Kai brushed off the air as if he wanted to stop Wei Shezi's voice, but it was a waste.

Wei Shezi snorted, "But really. The girl came at the right time. I almost saw something interesting,"

"You-you"

"Pffft, okay. I won't tease you, but you better hurry because what I see, that girl hasn't fully recovered. He looks.... Very self-imposing.

!

Chu Kai stopped stepping. He gasped at Wei Shezi's words before returning to walk. His facial expression changed.

Chu Kai said, "Miss Xia is indeed such a person. Her... Actually afraid to sleep alone."

"What?"

"I am very fond of the Five Sacred Swordsmen. Habits, ways of walking, even their attitudes... I followed everything. Including the ugly rumors that have always been associated with the five warriors." Chu Kai took a breath before exhaling it slowly.

Chu Kai said, "Miss Xia who is very afraid of sleeping alone is one of the rumors that many people do not believe. But I know that it's not just a rumor,"

"Looks..."

"really. Swordsman Xia Ling Qing has childhood trauma. His mother was killed in bed not even he knew there was an intruder attacking the Wushi Mountain Sect back then. Miss Xia Ling Qing herself is around 7 years old and you can imagine... How does a man who sleeps beside you die as a decapitated head with a body full of blood."

Chu Kai took a breath and continued, "Miss Xia Ling Qing is actually the most afraid to sleep. That is why he always trains to the point of exhaustion because only when his body is tired... He would go straight to sleep without imagining anything bad. But when he woke up, he would definitely be instantly shocked."

"You're this... Why do you know so much about the girl's past?"

"I told you, right. I am an admirer of the five holy warriors and of them all... I really like Miss Xia Ling Qing. She's the mother-to-be of my children."

"Good, shameless."

He knew that the cold poison was still in his body, but it was indeed difficult to remove the poison due to its undetectable existence. Usually, toxins will settle in organs in the body... But the cold poison was not like that at all.

The cold poison in Xia Ling Qing's body was only about to react when it rained. The problem was that he could not wait until that moment arrived because it would be very dangerous.

"................." Xia Ling Qing exhaled. He was reminded of the attack he had made against Xue Xiaowen and the members of the Dead Moon Sect.

There was an extremely powerful figure behind Xue Xiaowen. If only the figure had not intervened, then the daughter of the elder of the Dead Moon Sect would have already died at his hands. Remembering Xue Xiaowen managed to escape made Xia Ling Qing's blood boil.

"Tsk, goddamn it." Xia Ling Qing cursed as the sound of knocking on the door sounded. The person who opened the door was none other than Chu Kai. The young man came with a tray of food and two waiters with him.

"Just put it here, thank you." Chu Kai smiled at the two maids who had already helped him. He looked at Xia Ling Qing and called the girl to eat together.

Xia Ling Qing watched Chu Kai intently and his actions made the naturally green-eyed young man nervous. He then walked over and sat down a floor table that was specially provided by the waiter in this place.

Chu Kai gulped and stammered as he spoke. She said, "I-I don't know what kind of food Miss Xia likes. Yeah-so I..."

"I think you know me quite well," Xia Ling Qing opened her voice and made Chu Kai tense up. The girl took the chopsticks and then began to notice the dish in front of her.

Chu Kai ordered Chicken Kung Pao. A spicy dish with chicken dishes and has a fragrant aroma. Chicken meat is diced, sauteed and given cucumbers, dried chili, and beans.

The other dishes Chu Kai ordered were clear vegetables, fish head soup with savory meat, two bowls of rice and a bowl of porridge*baizhou for Wei Zhang Zihan.

^^^*baizhou \= rice porridge with broth, ginger, and salt. On it are given slices of meat, tofu, vegetables, and green beans.^^^

Chu Kai did not know the food that Xia Ling Qing liked, but it was because he knew full well that this girl had never been picky about food. Even that could be proven by how Xia Ling Qing now started eating what was presented before him.

"Why are you just looking at me?" Xia Ling Qing opened his voice. His tone was cold and made Chu Kai flinch.

"Pardon me" Chu Kai began to pick up the chopsticks nearby. He said slowly, "What... Swordsman Wei still hasn't woken up?"

"The condition has improved. He'll be up in a minute, you just eat."

"............ I'm sorry if I say this, but what really happened?" Chu Kai opened his voice. "When in that ancient tomb... I'm sure that Swordsman Wei is fine. Miss Xia wasn't seriously injured either, but...."

"Right," Xia Ling Qing recalled something and interrupted. He looked at Chu Kai and asked, "You're in that cave alone, right? What have you done?"

?!

"Basic fool. Why are you bringing it up?" wei Shezi's voice sounded in Chu Kai's head.

"................."

"Why are you quiet?" Xia Ling Qing again opened his voice and made Chu Kai stare at her.

Chu Kai took a breath and replied, "I'm trapped inside that cave. Instead of going out, I went to the deepest part of the cave and found a sword. I think it's some kind of heirloom,"

"Why did you say it?!" Wei Shezi protested, yet only Chu Kai could hear him.

"Sword... The heirloom? What is the Dragon Swordsman Sword?"

"Of course, it just looks like a Devil Sword in my eyes because when someone was about to touch it, those people were instantly killed with their bodies cut into pieces."

"The sword will not be easy to have carelessly. Only a figure that had the aura of a dragon could hold it. So is that sword on you now?"

Chu Kai shook his head slowly, "I gave the sword to Long Yang Wang. He said that his mother was in danger of being held hostage by demonic beasts."

"You... Are you out of your mind?!" Xia Ling Qing snapped. He said, "Why did you give it to someone you didn't even recognize. Long Yang Wang... That black-robed teenage boy, right?"

"Right,"

"Don't you know that he's a demonic beast?!"

"I... I know it,"

Xia Ling Qing placed his chopsticks roughly on the table and made Chu Kai startled. The girl said, "Whatever the reason... You shouldn't give someone such a dangerous heirloom, especially if that person is a demon beast incarnation. Don't you know how many people died because of them, huh?"

"Miss Xia... L'm... I'm sorry," Chu Kai lowered his head and seeing that made Xia Ling Qing sigh.

"Haaahs.... The problem is getting worse now,"

"I know he is worried," Wei Shezi's voice sounded inside Chu Kai's head. The woman said, "The Devil Sword that was in the child's hands is completely harmless. But it is different with the sword that is with you,"

"Mn? Whatchu mean?"

"If we liken the Demon Sword to a shell, then the Dragon Swordsman Sword you took is the content. The sword is fused within you, but for now you can't use its power."

"What... Miss Xia should hear this?"

"See his reaction now... It seems like he doesn't want to talk to you anymore. And if I may give you some advice, it's a good thing about the sword... Not until it is known by others."

Wei Shezi said again, "You who have been chosen to become a Dragon Swordsman have made many humans and demonic beasts come after you. Now that heirloom sword is also in your hands and you are still unable to overcome that ancient breathing technique."

"Listen to me" Wei Shezi continued. "Before you manage to control that ancient breathing technique, then it's good to keep the secret from the Dragon Swordsman Sword."

"................." Chu Kai took a breath and then nodded slowly, "I understand."

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Ling Qing asked because the young man before him had been silent and had suddenly taken a deep breath.

Chu Kai raised his brow next and then came to a realization. He smiled and said, "I think that... Eating with Miss Xia feels like eating with a small family."

"Huh," Xia Ling Qing snorted and said, "Are you going to talk such a stupid thing when there are people lying sick here?"

"I will just express my opinion," Chu Kai chanted his lips before returning to smile. He said, "But Miss Xia. Aren't we very suitable? How about a"

"Speaking strange things again, then these chopsticks will stick around your neck."

"No-no need, I'm just kidding. Just kidding," Chu Kai smiled awkwardly and then continued eating.

The green-eyed youth did not know that due to Xia Ling Qing's actions that attacked Xue Xiaowen-at this moment the girl from the Dead Moon Sect was venting her anger.
