《The Demon's Gate》Chapter 87: Guan's Edge City.
Advertisement
Chapter 87: Guan's Edge City. The city located at the very edge of Guanyu continent is named Guan's Edge City. It is a coastal city whose main purpose is transporting people to the two other continents, as well as serving as a dock for ships coming from the two other continents. There are several other coastal cities on the Guanyu continent, but Guan's Edge City is the largest one of them. Yao Jun and Guo Luo spent six days of constant flying to reach this city. Once they reached the city, Yao Jun made Little Gray land at a safe location. He returned Little Gray to the gate, Guo Luo masked their faces with her illusions, and the both of them entered Guan's Edge City. Yao Jun did this for two reasons. The first reason was to allow Little Gray to rest for some time, at least an entire day. Little Gray needed rest before they started the flight across the ocean, or he would not have enough strength to carry them all the way. The second reason was to pick up provisions. They had picked up a lot of riches in Ash Barrens City, but very little food and water. Before they entered Zhenya Valley, they stocked up on some food and water, but not enough to make such a long trip as crossing the ocean. With their faces masked in illusions, Yao Jun and Guo Luo could walk around the city at their own leisure, without having to worry about anything. Guo Luo no longer needed to wear bandages, as her wound had completely healed thanks to the multicolored light as well as the medicinal paste. They bought a large amount of provisions and different herbs that could only be found around this area. Yao Jun took half and stored them inside his gate, while Guo Luo took the other half, making sure that she had some herbs on hand if anything were to happen to Yao Jun again. “Let's go over there next!” They could only wait for Little Gray to finish resting, and since they spent most of the time on Little Gray's back cultivating, Guo Luo did not want to waste this precious free time by cultivating in the inn. The moment they had bought everything they needed, she grabbed Yao Jun's hand and started dragging him with her through the town. They had arrived during the evening of the previous day, so after they spent the night sleeping in the inn, they spent the morning buying all the provisions they needed. The plan was to head out the next morning. Guo Luo did not only drag Yao Jun with her to spend some time together but also so that Yao Jun could relax and release some tension. These last six days, he had spent almost every waking second worried about Yun Yantian, so she wanted to help him relax. “Wait here.” Guo Luo dragged Yao Jun into a clothing store before she made him stand by the door and wait. After making sure that he was not following her, she walked over to a woman who looked like she worked there. She spent a short moment whispering with the woman and handing her a small pouch. After she handed the woman the pouch, the two of them walked deeper into the store. “Come, come. Follow me.” After she had been gone for around ten minutes, Guo Luo came skipping back, a brilliant smile on her face. She grabbed onto Yao Jun's hand and made him follow her deeper into the store. They quickly reached a room at the back of the store. The room was only a few meters in size, and contained only a large mirror, a table, and a chair. The woman Guo Luo had talked to earlier entered the room after the two of them and placed a large wooden box on the table. After she placed the box on the table, she gave a short bow before bidding them farewell and leaving the room, closing the door behind her after she left, leaving behind only Yao Jun and Guo Luo. “What's this?” Yao Jun started walking towards the box when he suddenly felt Guo Luo hold him back, preventing him from approaching the box. “You just stand right there and do nothing.” Guo Luo pointed at the spot in front of her as she spoke, her face slightly red. After making sure that Yao Jun was standing where she pointed, she grabbed hold of his brown robes and started slowly undressing him. “What the-” Yao Jun was just about to question what she was doing when Guo Luo gave him a slight glare, her face reddening the more she looked at him. “You be quiet, you did this to me just a few days ago.” Hearing her words, Yao Jun could only raise his arms in defeat. It was indeed true that he had stripped her down to her underwear after he woke up a few days ago, but that was only to clean her wounds and apply bandages. After spending a short moment to take of Yao Jun's robe, leaving him in his underwear, Guo Luo stored away the brown robe. She spent a minute just staring at Yao Jun's body, examining every inch of it, tracing every single scar with her fingers. She had seen him like this several times already, whenever he went to bed next to her, but she still felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw the scars. His body was slightly skinny, with a myriad of scars covering his arms and upper body. The large scar in the shape of a dog swallowing the moon was especially glaring, it's poisonous green color made it stand out. “You should just get rid of this.” Guo Luo couldn't help but mutter as she traced the large scar. This scar was given to him by Guo Zhe using his poisonous power, a brand. Normal people might have trouble removing this scar, but it was no problem for the two of them. They had enough medicinal herbs to remove every scar on Yao Jun's body. “You know that I can't. This scar serves as proof of my weakness. Only once I have killed Guo Zhe and Guo Jiahao can I remove this scar.” Yao Jun shook his head as he spoke. He used this scar to remind himself of what would happen if he was weak. If he was weak, he did not even have the right to decide how his own body would look, he would just be at the mercy of others. It also served as a sign of his grudge. Only once he ended this grudge by killing Guo Zhe and Guo Jiahao, taking back the interspatial ring that his mother had given him, only then would he remove this scar. Guo Luo continued tracing Yao Jun's scars for a short moment before she nodded her head. She walked over to the box that the woman had brought with her and opened it, revealing a deep green cloth. She pulled out the deep green cloth, revealing it to be loose shirt and a pair of pants. She walked over to Yao Jun and helped him get dressed, giving his entire body a few look overs after she finished clothing him. The clothes were colored a deep, emerald green, much like the robes Yao Jun used to wear. The shirt was decorated with several black threads that came together and formed the image of a black gate on Yao Jun's back. After she made sure that the clothing fit Yao Jun, Guo Luo took off her own robes in a bashful fashion. She walked over to the box and took out another piece of clothing that was the same emerald green as Yao Jun's. She put on the clothing, revealing it to be a tight-fitting qipao that accentuated her figure, better showing off her curves as well as her breasts. This qipao was decorated with several multicolored threads that came together and formed a multicolored gate on her back. “Look, now we match. You said that your green robes were given to you by your parents, so I wanted you to have something that would help remind you of them until we manage to return to your continent.” Guo Luo made a few spins in front of Yao Jun, showing off the clothing as she spoke. She knew that all the robes Yao Jun had been given by his parents were placed inside his interspatial ring, but since that had been taken bu Guo Jiahao, he could not wear any of them. After they arrived at the city yesterday evening, while Yao Jun went looking for an inn, she ran off to find a tailor that could quickly make a few pieces of clothing for the two of them. This tailor was the one she found. Thanks to the inborn power of the tailor, she was able to rapidly finish the ordered clothing. “You really are too good for me.” Yao Jun felt a sweet feeling in his chest as he looked at the clothing the two of them wore. He missed his parents, and wearing the green robes had made him feel closer to his parents, so he felt bad when he was not able to wear them. He walked over to Guo Luo and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into an embrace. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and the two of them continued to stand there for a few moments, just enjoying the sensation of the kiss. “Let's go.” After finishing the kiss, Yao Jun held Guo Luo's hand and the two of them left the clothing store. The two of them continued to wander around the city hand in hand, buying food from various street vendors while they walked. Sometimes Guo Luo would make Yao Jun follow her into various shops, while other times it was Yao Jun that made her follow him. Guo Luo liked painting, something Yao Jun had only learned right before they entered Zhenya valley, so most of the stores she brought him into revolved around different types of painting. Yao Jun on the other hand would bring Guo Luo to look at various weapon shops. The both of them had weapons of their own, but Yao Jun still liked looking at various weapon shops. When he looked at their swords, it reminded him of his time as a child, before he started living in Flying Fish Town. Training in the way of the sword with his father was one of his fondest memories. After they spent a few hours just wandering around, with evening approaching, they were planning on finding a place where they could eat dinner when Yao Jun spotted something at the end of the street. At the end of the street stood a male youth, looking at the wares of a street vendor. The thing that caught Yao Jun's attention were the male's robes. The robes were completely black, with a large boulder engraved on the back. The robes of the Yao clan.

The problem is, it's a bit difficult to enjoy life when you are trapped within the white walls of a hospital.

There's nothing wrong with him, except for the fact that he has two personalities, but that's not important. It wasn't something he was born with, nor something he resents. He just changed a bit when his mother locked him in an abandoned cellar for a few years, and he had to get on with life eating rats 'n' stuff.
