LUO YAN was hugging Shen Ji Yun’s neck, no, he should probably say a qilin’s neck. When the other told him to hold onto him, he quickly got down on his knee and told him to climb on his back. Luo Yan did so without question. And the next thing he knew, they were already flying to the sky at a very high speed.
Since they were already standing at a high vantage point, when Shen Ji Yun jumped up using unbelievable power, speed, and Mana, he quickly reached a point in the sky surrounded by clouds. Then, he changed to his qilin beast form.
The other adjusted the size of his beast form to that of a horse to accommodate Luo Yan who was riding on his back. Because if he transformed to a full size qilin, then, it would be like announcing to everyone their presence here.
Purple lightning was discharged from the qilin’s horns. Shen Ji Yun’s qilin body moved at a very high speed towards the tower. As they did, the purple lightning hit every cloud in their wake. Soon, the sky turned dark and heavy rain fell. This successfully covered them while trying to go towards the tower.
Luo Yan only felt that he was riding a car travelling in a speed that would get him to be stopped by traffic enforcers. But it didn’t scare him. Mainly because he liked thrilling rides. In fact, he wanted to squeal. But he stopped himself and just chose to bury his face on Shen Ji Yun’s soft purple mane.
When they reached the top of the tower, Shen Ji Yun hit it with a powerful lightning. Causing a hole to appear on the tower’s roof. From a distance, it would only appear as if an ordinary lightning had struck it. Which was not too weird considering that it was raining heavily.
He then changed to his humanoid form. While Luo Yan took out his Invisibility Cloak and covered the two of them with it. contemporary romance
Shen Ji Yun jumped down on the hole with Luo Yan still on his back. He actually wanted to carry him again, princess style. But that would be too inconvenient in their situation right now. Still, feeling the other’s warmth behind him, it still made him feel excited. Good thing he had good focus. Or else, he might have already made a mistake.
He landed effortlessly. With the help of the cloak covering him and Luo Yan, the person, who was standing at the very center of the room and looking at the hole made by the lightning, didn’t notice them.
Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun observed this person. He was wearing a black robe with a hood that covered the upper half of his face. Because the lower half of his face was smooth, it could be seen that his design was that of a young man. But he was a dark mage, so, who knew how old he really was.
"There’s no need to hide. Please, show yourself. If you wanted something from me, I’m willing to listen. Maybe we could come to an understanding," the dark mage suddenly said.
Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun were not surprised by this reaction. If anyone saw the lightning that hit the top of the tower from afar, they would only think that it’s a normal occurrence. But if someone close, for example, someone staying inside the tower, saw it, they would never think that.
Their first thought would be that someone intentionally attacked the tower. And if they didn’t saw this person immediately, then the next conclusion would be that they were hiding their presence using some means.
Because they already expected this, the two didn’t panic. Especially after hearing what the other said. The dark mage only referred to one person. Which meant that he didn’t know that there were two intruders in his tower. This situation was definitely to their advantage.
To proceed to the next step of the plan, Luo Yan removed the Invisibility Cloak from Shen Ji Yun while still having it cover himself. So, in the dark mage’s eyes, it looked as if Shen Ji Yun appeared out of thin air.
"A qilin. What a distinguished guest," the dark mage said, but the tone of his voice didn’t seem like he was particularly impressed by the identity of his guest. "I heard the commotion that happened this morning. They said you kidnapped one of the dragons. And now, you’re here in my tower. May I ask the great Qilin the purpose behind this series of actions?"
"For a friend," Shen Ji Yun simply answered.
Before going here, Luo Yan told him to only give simple and ambiguous answers since he would be the one who would do most of the talking. And he agreed. Of course, it’s not because he thought that his rabbit was always right. But because he honestly thought that it would be better that way.
His job now was to keep the dark mage’s attention to him. So that Luo Yan could do his part. If he messed up, then, their whole plan would be affected.
The dark mage nodded as if understood. "You’re talking about the black dragon," he said. It was not a question but rather a statement, showing that he was certain that Shen Ji Yun was talking about Dusk. "I have felt his awakening almost a month ago. You should be the one who freed him from being imprisoned in time. I thought it would take a while for him to recover, considering his injuries. But who would have thought that he would still have the energy to send his friend here? What good friendship the two of you have."
The dark mage’s voice was dry and had no hint of emotion in it. It’s like he was just casually commenting about the weather. He was obviously not afraid of Shen Ji Yun nor was he worried about the current situation he was in.
This made Luo Yan feel apprehensive, as if things wouldn’t go their way.
