Chapter 93 - D-day

The d-day came quickly than anticipated. Feng Mei got dressed up in layers and anxiously sat on the bed. Her legs were shaking on its own. 'Gosh, I am so scared. What if that game wakes up and gives a task..... Mommy, I don't want this at all?'

She feared this new place, yet her heart was somehow anticipating his change.

"Here." Ethan wrapped her scarf around her neck. "You warm enough? Do you want me to get you another coat?,"

"no no...I'm just not feeling that good," she pulled him into a hug. "I need a recharge hug."

The little kid blushed red. "What's this is suddenly.. Aiden might walk in on us,"

Feng Mei took a look at his face. "kidoo what bad thing are we doing? Don't get so anxious. If Aiden comes in, I'll just hug him as well,"

"No, hug only me," Ethan whispered, wrapping a hand around her waist. "Feng..... can I get a kiss?"

She looked at him, confused. "Why not," she kissed his cheeks softly. "Happy?"

Ethan pouted with a disappointed sigh. "hmm... let's go,"

He held out his hand.

Feng happily took it and walked out. Somehow, having him nearby calmed down her raging mind.

'I can deal with it. I am stronger and bitch I am a time mage now! What's going to go wrong?' She thought with a small smile as they walked out to the deck.

It was snowing a little. She wore the hood up her little coat and walked to the edge. They both leaned up and peered into the distance a huge shore line was seen. Unlike the last town, this was a bustling city.

Even from this distance, they could see men roaming around in the pier carrying loads of stuff..

Feng took a deep breath. 'Fear nothing Feng. I can do anything..... I can, right?'

"Feng~" Aiden came running to her. "I called them out."

Elle came after with a huge smile on her face. Yubiri, Alvin and lady Hiliana followed after them.

"Lady!" Feng waved at lady Hiliana excitedly.

"It's mother to you, young lady." The old lady moved close and hugged her softly. Suddenly she lifted Feng into a princess carry.

Feng smilingly hugged her neck. Her remaining anxiety flew away into dust. 'So warm..' she leaned into her hug.

Ethan and Aiden looked at her weirdly.

"Can everyone see properly? Does anyone want a lift?" the old lady lifted her brows.

"No, I am tall," Ethan mumbled with a frown. Aiden, on the other hand, smiled sweetly and said no.

Yubiri stood closer, peering at Feng. Weirdly so, he had a sad look on his face.

Feng smiled at him. "What's wrong?"

"N—nothing...." Yubiri shook his head.

Lady Hiliana on the hand gave him a look. "Looks like you are melancholic. Don't be so young mage. Separation is ought to be a part of life."

"Separation?" Feng whispered softly.

"hmm.. Young mage has his own journey to make."

"Not as of now. I will leave after training Feng." Yubiri urgently corrected her.

Lady Hiliana chuckled. "Just last night you were whining that you have to leave. I think your butler might drag you away even if you tried to stay with us."

Yubiri frowned. Being born in this body and in this world came with a lot of responsibility. being the great mage, he had to serve the upper-class men once a month with some of his spells or else his powers to explore regions would be revoked.

'How can I continue my research if I can't explore new dig sites?...'

Usually these tasks were meagre and were a welcomed distraction, but this time...

He glanced at Feng, who was looking his way. 'Should I just skip my work and stay with her?,'

'Maybe I should. Feng just manifested and is yet to learn about her powers. I have to be there to guide her. Yeah.. that's a good reason to stay close. Plus, the twins are still being trained under me. I guess will have to be their home tutor.'

"Lady, I have changed my mind. I am responsible for my two apprentices." He smiled at Ethan and Aiden.

The twins just gave him a disgusted look.

Yubiri returned it with a smile.

Ethan tugged at lady Hiliana's skirt. "Can we change our teacher? I don't think we need him anymore."

"Wow, that was hurtful how can my loving apprentices say that to me," Yubiri smilingly tugged at Ethan's hand.

Ethan just scoffed. "I don't want you sticking close to Feng. Go do your work. I'm pretty sure Felix is shedding bloody tears sorting out your job,"

"Felix can take care of it,"

It became a heated discussion for a minute, but suddenly a voice stopped them.

"Let him stay with us. We have a room to spare right, grandma," Elle happily shouted.

Yubiri's expressing changed a bit. He refused to look her way.

Elle just pouted and glanced at the horizon. "Staying at our house means you have to teach me as well. I bet you understand that,"

"Elle, talk to him with respect," Alvin reproached her.

"I will...." she smilingly glanced at him. "You will accept me, right mister Yu?"

Yubiri coldly glanced away. "I'll have to think about it,"
