(Xyrean Province- The Mermaid' Lake)
(Forested Outskirts- Rest Site)
Warm rays of sunlight illuminated the forest with a soft orange glow as the sun peeked out from the edge of the horizon.
Gong Li opened her eyes sleepily and felt a heavy weight on her stomach. She looked down and saw Liu Yifei's arm firmly placed around her body.
The young teenage girl froze in place as her crush… no… her girlfriend… girlfriend!
A silly smile spread across Gong Li's face as the tips of her ears slowly turned red. What had happened yesterday was not a dream!
It really came true! Liu Yifei said that she liked her!
Gong Li wanted to scream loudly in excitement but forced herself to calm down so that she didn't wake up the sleeping girl.
She didn't understand how Liu Yifei had managed to find a way into her sleeping bag, but Gong Li certainly wasn't going to complain.
The warmth of Liu Yifei's soft body made her heart skip a beat. She could swear that her heart was about to burst out of her chest.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Gong Li's eyes were captivated by Liu Yifei's sleeping appearance. She truly was a beautiful girl worthy of the title of school flower.
Liu Yifei had a cute button nose, gentle facial features and… soft kissable lips…
Those lips…
Gong Li blushed furiously as she remembered the awkward yet passionate kisses that they had shared under the shade of a tree.
She needed to practice her technique!
Time slowly passed and the sun that was just peeking over the horizon was now flying high above the sky.
Birds could be heard chirping loudly in the treetops and the rustling noises coming from the nearby bushes meant that the forest critters were beginning to stir.
Eventually Liu Yifei's eyes slowly opened as she stretched out her arms and yawned sleepily.
There was drool leaking out of the side of her mouth which made her look absolutely adorable in Gong Li's eyes.
"Wha… what time is it?" Liu Yifei hoarsely asked in a tone of voice that indicated that she was clearly half asleep.
"You can rest for a little while longer," Gong Li whispered to her girlfriend. Liu Yifei nodded and then closed her eyes once more.
Gong Li summoned all of the courage in her heart and shifted her body around in the sleeping bag until she was facing Liu Yifei directly.
She raised up her arms and brought the beautiful girl into a tight embrace. Gong Li closed her eyes and nervously waited for Liu Yifei to tell her to let go.
Instead, Liu Yifei merely smiled and then nuzzled her cheek gently against the side of Gong Li's shoulder.
Neither girl thought about going any further since this was the limit of the courage in both of their hearts.
Gong Li didn't want to rush things in their blossoming relationship since this was a new experience for both girls.
Liu Yifei rested for a few more minutes before she forced herself to wake up. She got up from the sleeping bag and rubbed her eyes.
"Want to grab something to eat?" Liu Yifei asked gently as she snapped her fingers and two energy bars appeared out of thin air.
She handed one to Gong Li and playfully touched her girlfriend's fingers as she handed over the light snack.
It was surprisingly fun to watch her face turn red…
Liu Yifei snapped her fingers again and two bottles of milk appeared on the ground near her feet.
There were enough supplies in her storage space to last for at least two years and she had stocked up on a lot of goods from the supermarkets that they had passed when driving through the city.
Honestly even though she possessed an ability with no combat usage, it was hard to deny that it was pretty useful in other ways.
Liu Yifei casually unscrewed the top of the milk bottle and drank its contents. The cold taste of the milk was very refreshing.
"So today is the day…" Liu Yifei suddenly spoke as she wiped her lips with a tissue from her pocket.
"Sister Lan wants us to decide if we're going with her to a top-secret military base to fight some creature or stay here and risk encountering one of the ability users in the cult."
"Not really good options in either case…"
"I think we should go with Sister Lan," Gong Li replied sincerely since she had been giving the matter some thought over the last few days.
"She can protect us, and I really don't want us to be separated."
"I agree… I'm not going to let my teacher go off on her own… well I mean she has Eve, but we can definitely be useful as well!" Liu Yifei pumped up her fist as she spoke.
"Speaking of Eve… should we tell Sister Lan about us?"
"I mean… I… if you want to… I…" Gong Li stuttered as Liu Yifei successfully distracted her from the serious decision that they had just made.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Liu Yifei smiled sweetly as she unwrapped the energy bar and took a large bite. A loud crunch echoed through the tent and a few crumbs fell on the ground.
Damn it…
Liu Yifei sighed heavily and took out a small broomstick from her storage space along with a collecting bin.
She swept up the crumbs on the ground and gestured for Gong Li to follow her outside the tent. Her girlfriend opened up the tent's flap and both girls stepped into the outside world.
Qin Lan and Eve were standing around the campfire and currently smoking the meat from some unknown animal.
The techniques used for smoking the meat were quite rudimentary. Qin Lan basically cut the meat into strips, cooked it, and then covered it with salt for preservation.
"Hey girls! Did you get a good night's rest?" Qin Lan asked with concern evident in her voice.
"Yeah! I slept pretty well," Liu Yifei replied cheerfully as she walked over to the two women with Gong Li following close behind.
Liu Yifei slowed down her steps and held Gong Li's hand as they approached the firepit.
Qin Lan raised an eyebrow and shot a quick glance at the girls' interlocked fingers.
Gong Li kept her head down, but one could clearly see the fierce blush that was beginning to spread across her cheeks.
Eve didn't even notice the sweet interaction between the pair because she was too busy staring at the meat slowly cooking over the fire.
They were currently smoking the remains of a large female sow that had been killed on their way back from the unknown settlement.
Father Han's death would definitely make the ability users more cautious, and it was unlikely that they would wander far from their encampment.
Still if it was up to Eve then she would have killed them all…
