Chapter Seven, the Barbarian King Taimir
Within the forest, Aishi walked side by side with the Barbarian King
Alright, Xiaoyu, this Daylight Crown was borrowed with great difficulty from our quirky little queen by Leona. Uh... Speaking of Leona, you may not know, but she is an unparalleled beauty, incredibly powerful, and very attractive, much like our quirky little queen, I tell you. Uh... Alright, dear, I will be quiet now. Seeing my wife Aishi smile gently once again, Tydamir immediately fell silent.
Following the direction of the hand pointed by the Barbarian King, Ashe looked and saw a group of soldiers marching steadily down the hill. However, due to the tall trees in the forest obscuring their view, they were unaware of the two individuals on the hill just a few dozen meters above them.
Am I really that lacking in charm?" The rugged man named Taimir was clearly affected by being ignored by the little fox, as he muttered to himself with his head down
"Go away... who is your wife? We have been divorced for a long time." Ai Xi pushed away the helmet that had come too close, feeling both amused and helpless.
What I fear the most is this: the path of the barbarian king, the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the magic sealing, which, while immensely powerful, also brings too many uncertainties. When I initially suggested using the Crown of Sunlight to protect Xiaoxue's soul, and that the Night Demon Crystal would absorb the demonic consciousness within Xiaoxue's body, allowing her to be reborn after the seal was lifted, it was merely a theoretical statement. If, at that time, when the seal is broken, Xiaoyu discovers that Xiaoxue has also perished, how am I supposed to face him in the future?
Alright, alright, what good does it do for you to keep talking here? Will your complaints bring Xiaoxue back? It would be better to hurry to Debang to get things done, and then go find the Night Demon Crystal to help Xiaoyu
"Hehe... Saying thank you is too formal. However, we cannot stay for long, as matters concerning the tribe are quite urgent. We will take our leave for now and will come to find you again once we return from our business in Debang," Aishi said, patting the Barbarian King, who was lying on the ground, staring eye to eye with the little fox. "Let's go, don't delay the tribe's affairs."
"Can you not get distracted?" Ai Xi said with a wry smile, "Aren't you worried?"
The entire Winterwood Forest appears tranquil and serene
Alright, Xiaoyu, I will get straight to the point," Aishi murmured softly, "We have urgent business in Demacia this time. We passed by the Winter's Claw Forest to come see you and brought the 'Sunfire Crown' along for you.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the little fox, which had been lazily lying down, suddenly wagged its tail and excitedly pounced forward.
"Who said that? How come I don't know?" The barbarian king adjusted his misaligned helmet, "You are my wife, now and in the future... Hey, who are those guys? How could there be humans in the Winter's Embrace Forest?"
Hey? Hey hey? My dear wife, we shouldn't do this, please don't be angry, I was wrong, is it not enough that I admit my mistake? My wife is not foolish at all; she is the most powerful sage in the world. Any legendary strategist like Swain is nothing but a trivial matter in front of my wife... Hey, wait for me, dear wife.
"Well... safe travels," Xiao Mu Yu said, quietly watching the two depart
Eh... To be honest, I am quite worried. After not seeing each other for half a year, I feel that Xiaoyu has become increasingly cold and dark. This cannot continue, the Barbarian King said weakly. I originally thought that time could dilute everything, but I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn, willing to give up an entire forest for a single tree. Now, as time goes by, the impact of Xiaoxue's situation on him grows stronger. I... Eh...
To be honest, I think those ancient wizards were truly despicable. If they were capable of capturing such powerful demons, why not just kill them directly? Why keep them for research? What a ridiculous notion, leaving behind such a legacy for future generations. No wonder their magical empire collapsed; they brought this upon themselves.
Basking in the morning sunlight, both as kings, Xiao Mu Yu sat quietly with his eyes slightly closed beside the thatched cottage in front of the waterfall, his worn battle sword resting across his knees. Occasionally, strands of water carried by the wind from the waterfall would brush against his body, yet they were blocked by a layer of an almost imperceptible barrier, unable to touch him
"Hahaha... the little fox is so enthusiastic, but it's only been half a year since we last met." The rugged man laughed heartily as he watched the little fox excitedly soar into the air, tracing a beautiful arc before landing on the shoulder of the woman behind him, instantly wearing a look of dejection.
Are you afraid that he will become increasingly dark, ultimately being consumed by this darkness?" Aishwen's gentle voice followed the words that the barbarian king could not express.
What is there to worry about? What is there to be concerned about? Look, not a single beast has attacked this army along the way; it is clear that these are guests of Xiaoyu. Why should I be worried?" The barbarian king looked at his wife with disdain, "Wife, you have become foolish.
"Ah, Ah, Xiaoyuzi, your way of addressing me is incorrect. Since you call me Brother Man, then why do you still call her Sister Aishi? You should be calling her Sister-in-law Man instead," said Taimamir with a serious expression.
Hahaha... Xiaoyu, I have come to see you with great enthusiasm. Amidst the hearty and boisterous laughter, a burly man emerged from the forest
Brother Man and Sister Aishi's relationship remains so good, it is enviable said Xiao Mu Yu in a tone that was still cold and indifferent while uttering the word "enviable" yet her voice and tone showed not the slightest hint of fluctuation, making it impossible for anyone to sense even a trace of "envy".
... ...
I will see you off," said Xiao Mu Yu
Alright, alright, then, Little Rain, the Barbarian King stood up from the ground and brushed off the dust from his knees. "Let us part ways here."
"Ouch, dear, be gentle, it hurts... it hurts..." The barbarian covered his head, crying out in pain. "If you think I am too nagging, just say so. I really dislike it when you resort to violence. Look at how sincerely I am looking at you; you should know that I will listen to you. If you don't tell me, how would I know that you don't like me nagging? ... Uh... alright, I will keep quiet." ... Look at how sincerely I am looking at you; you should know that I will listen to you. If you don't tell me, how would I know that you don't like me nagging? ... Uh... alright, I will keep quiet."
Seeing his wife's gentle smile, Taimir wisely closed his mouth
With a vague gaze fixed on the golden gem known as the crown, Xiao Mu Yu's eyes were indifferent and icy. After a long silence, Xiao Mu Yu finally coldly inquired, "Is this... the crown?"
Yet tranquility seems to be fleeting, as a loud laugh shatters this rare peace, startling a flock of birds in the forest
Ah... that's right, " Aishi still smiled gently, " this is the Sunlight Crown. I had a hard time persuading my stubborn younger sister to seek out the Dawn Goddess Leona for this. So? Do you have any questions? "
No need for that, it's not my first time here, what else is there to send off? There's no need to be so troublesome, the king laughed heartily, this time I don't have the time, next time when I come we shall drink to our heart's content for three days and three nights
Hehe... Xiaoyu, this is the Radiant Crown, as Sister Aishi promised to help you find it back then. Now, I have finally fulfilled that promise.
"Go, you are so out of breath from being praised for being fat." Aishi turned around and left
Bang
The man was bare-chested, his bronze-colored skin shimmering with a metallic quality. His muscles were well-defined, and several large scars crossed his chest. He wore a bronze helmet unique to the northern tribes, giving him a rugged and bold appearance
Hehe... why worry so much? You should have confidence in Xiaoyu. Moreover, Aixi smiled gently, saying, "As long as Xiaoxue's seal is lifted, all your current worries will be unnecessary."
The little fox appeared somewhat listless, lazily lying on Xiao Mu Yu's shoulder basking in the sun, its fluffy tail casually draped over Xiao Mu Yu's back, swaying unconsciously.
"Brother Man, Sister Aishi, long time no see." Xiao Mu Yu slowly stood up and greeted them politely
Hehe... Xiaoyu, I have made you laugh at a joke. " Ai Xi said gently with a smile
Indeed, thinking back to that sunny and shy young man, and then looking at this cold and indifferent man now, my goodness, time truly is a butcher's knife
The woman had long, moon-white hair, and her slender and alluring figure was accentuated by a deep blue ranger's cloak. On her back, she carried a silver-white, semi-transparent crystal bow, which continuously emanated wisps of cold air
"The Three Armies? Isn't that the private army of that useless prince, Akagi? Why are they here instead of staying in the south?" The barbarian king pondered while stroking his chin, "Hmm, my beard has grown a bit long; it's time to shave it."
Uh... everything is up to my wife.
Alright, you old fellow, still acting like a child, why bother with different titles? Why must you be so particular?
"No... not at all," Xiao Mu Yu said lightly, "Thank you, Sister Ai Xi."
"A trivial matter? How can this be considered a trivial matter?" The barbarian king exclaimed as if he had just discovered something deeply distressing, "A trivial matter? My wife, how can this be considered a trivial matter? If it is not referred to as such, how will others know you are my wife? If others do not know you are my wife, how will they know I am a married man? If they do not know I am a married man, what will happen if a beautiful woman takes a liking to me? Although my feelings for you are as clear as day, it is never a good thing to hurt a beautiful woman's feelings. You must understand that hurting... If others do not know you are my wife, how will they know I am a married man? If they do not know I am a married man, what will happen if a beautiful woman takes a liking to me? Although my feelings for you are as clear as day, it is never a good thing to hurt a beautiful woman's feelings. You must understand that hurting..."
Looking at the appearance of this armor, it seems to belong to the Third Legion of the Debon army, Ashi pondered
