Misunderstanding

"Dark Fang?" Nightin scanned around and saw Dark Fang staring at him, his face full of shock and his mouth was left wide open.

"Cornelia, just how long are you going to lay in my embrace?" Nightin raised his voice as he asked again in a voice devoid of any emotions.

Hearing what Nightin just said, a man who was just passing by couldn't help but stand out and question "Just who fo you think you are to call the ice beauty by her name!?" Before Nightin could even process what was going on, a ball of ice had already slammed into the man's face and send him flying.

Cornelia then slid out of Nightin's embrace, the coldness enveloping her body again as she snapped at the crowd "All of you are merely strangers in my eyes, don't even think that you can catch my attention just by showing me some pathetic concern."

Turning around to face Nightin who was looking at her, she walked over in small steps, pulled his hand and swayed it around while saying in a coquettish voice "I'm sorry for flaring up at the crowd."

Vzzt

A thunderstruck zapped everyone in the mind as some of them even fainted on the ground upon seeing this gesture, weren't they being too intimate in public for a couple who just met each other?

"Cornelia, you're taking this too far." Nightin said as he smacked her hand away, even taking one step back away from her.

"Why are you doing this?" Cornelia asked through her watery eyes, her hands were pinching onto her robe and her head was lowered.

The spectators were left speechless at this time and someone even shouted "What the hell is this! I didn't pay for an ticket just to watch a romance drama!"

One of the innocent looking youths then turned around and asked "What ticket are you talking about? You're free to watch of you own will." Finishing what he had to say, he turned back towards the current drama going on.

The man who realised he had been scammed screamed at the top of his voice "Who the hell scammed me saying that I can get to watch a epic battle for just a thousand origin stones!"

Of course, no one answered him while Nightin merely stared into Cornelia's eyes for a few seconds before pulling away, his Samsara sword disippating into energy as he turned away with his back facing her.

Unclenching his fists and taking in a few deep breaths, Nightin said coldly "You should already know that I'm in love with someone from my servant's reaction right now. It's impossible between us."

"Don't give me that! I won't let you leave today until you give me the answer I want!" Cornelia burst out in tears, her head feeling dizzy and all she could see was blackness. She tried to cry out for help, but all that came out was silence.

Her body leaned forward effortlessly as he eyelids closed, her face was already pale at this time and wringing in pain. Seeing this, Nightin immediately dashed forward and supported her before she crashes onto the floor.

"Young master, just what exactly is going on here?" Dark Fang asked as he walked towards Nightin. Even though Dark Fang could have asked others about what happened, there wouldn't be a way for him to distinguish the truth from the spices added.

"Young master please, I need an answer right here, right now." Dark Fang added on as he took another step forward, his awe looking wings spreading backwards as a black storm stunned the crowd.

The stronger cultivators which were few in numbers gathered their strength together to protect the weaker ones while Robin's quill pen protected its owner instinctively. Robin eyes closed in as he tried to zoom in on what's going on beyond the dark storm, but was shocked by his blocked vision.

He wasn't able to see what's going on there and he himself in an expert at the Demigod realm, just one realm below the Overlord realm and yet he is unable to see through this...

"Dark Fang, don't get the wrong idea here. I don't even know how she fell in love with me just because I defeated her in an battle." Nightin hurriedly explained as he allowed Cornelia to rest on his feathers.

"If that's the case, then why do you still care so much about..."

Before Dark Fang could finish his sentence, Nightin cut him off in a loud voice as he dashed forward and grabbed Dark Fang by the neck while saying menacingly "You should know my character by now. Even if it means death, I won't go against my own rules and lie through my own teeth."

"Young master, have you ever spared a thought for young lady Phoenix and young lady Charlotte whom you mentioned the other time!?" Dark Fang questioned at the top of his voice, he sees it as his duty to bring Nightin back onto the right track.

"That's the reason why I was pushing and even rejecting Cornelia when she got too close, you think that I'm the type of person that flirts around with others behind my women back?" Nightin fiercely countered as the seriousness in his face made Dark Fang realise that he had jumped too an conclusion too early on.

"Young master I... I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and even doubting your character. Please punish me if that would appease your anger and make you feel better!" Dark Fang leaned forward and his legs bent, but right before his knees touched the ground, a mysterious force pushed him back upright.

"Dark Fang, remember what I'm going to say next. You may have treated yourself as my servant, but I've seen you as a friend this whole time. I don't expect you to doubt me considering just how much trust I'm willing to put in you. Let the dark past be gone and start anew, it's about time you show the world who you truly are in place of the bats!" Nightin's rally brought about vivid life in Dark Fang's eyes as he stood up abruptly.

"Young master...Forgive me for being unable to change my form of address as I'm already accustomed to it." Dark Fang pleaded immediately right after he realised that his mouth slipped.

Nightin's state soon vanished as he broke out into laughter "Don't worry Dark Fang, I was only joking around with you. Just make sure to call me Night next time."

Just like this, the relationship between the master and servant improved to that of two brothers who can trust their back to each other...

But now, a greater storm was brewing as back in the Ice family of the Voyager Kingdom, one of the top ten experts Simon was currently facing his team of advisors in rage.

"Someone tell me, just who is that young lad who actually brought Cornelia away when she fainted!" Simon shouted as everyone as he called out soon after, "guards! Bring me the alchemist in charge of Cornelia medication right now!"

"Yes!" All of the guards hurriedly replied as one of them ran off quickly, they were scared that they'll lose their heads if they were to take their precious time like how they would usually.

"Simon Ice, have you perhaps forgotten the promise we've made for you to call for me at this crucial point of time?"
