Chapter 27 - Ashes In Darkness

ashes rained from the sky, black clouds assembled on top of the city, the original gloomy city became more gloomy, terror hung on the air and the people were horrified.

I stand facing Li Xiang before I ask, " are you sure nothing will happen"

"The future is unknown", Li says

"do we have to go?"

"yes"

"I need energy sources, as much as you can get, we can't go unprepared, give me some time and I'll make it more safer to go in"

"....., actually the more we delay, the more dangerous it will be", Li went silent for a moment then answered

"I don't care, I'll just make it twice safer and I trust your abilities you'll bring me those sources before it gets more dangerous "

" as you wish your highness"

"Are you making fun of me?"

"I don't dare", I'm just teasing you

"..."

Li Xiang had already left when I opened the Poseidon shop,

I need to take precautions from everything possible, shields are a must, escaping talismans are also a must, I already have some healing pills from the mirror world, I also thought about the probability of air poisoning inside, I also need a weapon other than the cloud ink brush, this one has to contain attacking power, at best it compliments my brush abilities, so if I a can use a weapon that can hide between the smoke, I won't waste my money and the power will be greatly coordinated.

I already have a weapon in my mind, the price is a little bit expensive but affordable, Java barb strings ornament costs 500 EP, I just need to absorb both the cloud ink brush and the Java b string ornament's martial art guide.

"let's not waste more and start collecting EP", I then start the usual crying routine.

time passed by, well not much actually just 2 hours and Li Xiang came back, he directly takes out his loot

"This is it?",10 small blue stones like sapphire laid on top of Li Xiang's hands

"It might be little but the energy you can get from it is unmatched "

I take one and put it inside the wallet button,

'1million!!!',i cried in surprise

1 million EP for each oval sapphire !! that is 10 000 000 EP!! I can buy a spaceship with it, not that the shop has it .

I look at Li Xiang's face seriously," Li"

"you are my hero, I swear to god if you were not a guy, I would've kissed that handsome face of yours", I said every word slowly as if I mean it

"so, if I was a woman you would kiss me?"

"of course not, that's sexual harassment genius "

I straight go open the shop and buy the weapon, two escape talismans that cost 1000 EP for one use, one-touch one weakened talisman cost 7000 EP, the instructions say that it can weaken anything below middle god level, the price is worth it, I was about to buy something in case we got air poisoned but remembered that my tear pearl ability is world-class best when it comes to purification. I then bought different shields gadgets for me and Li Xiang.

I asked Li for tips, he then suggest that having some kind of transport not easy to detect inside would be helpful, but when I checked the system I couldn't find any, mostly were vehicle artifacts with extravagant look or sea and air mounts not suitable underground.

Li Xiang sensed his dilemma so he caressed Erha's head, "don't worry, leave the matter of transport to me "

hearing this,i remember that this guy has that incredible ability to create and modify machine stuff.

everything is purchased, all is left is the delivery

dark lines showed up on the top of my head,' we've been waiting for ages, the night fell and the package still didn't arrive , I'm so nervous but the guy beside me wasn't nervous and he did not even question why we were waiting, the only explanation I can think about is whether he's too cool to care with the 'i'm all strong and mighty nothing phases me' pose or he trusts me blindly .

'poof!!'

a package came out from nowhere, startling Li Xiang, he immediately takes back his composure and observes curiously, "Erha's ability needs source energy, I take that as a currency, with it he can purchase a variety of stuff , there's also the weird method of sending the package, it's not that difficult to guess, that it has something to do with the shop, if I'm not mistaking this ability rank is higher then celestial "

'everything is ready, time to go!!'

"wait!", my cool acting of walking slowly got interrupted by Li Xiang," I still need to go make a vehicle "

"ok, fine, whatever", my cheeks were puffed mostly because I was ashamed, don't tell me I can't get that what he said was just an excuse so he won't embarrass me because while I was acting cool gangsta style walking on the roof, I forgot I was in the roof!! so I directly walked toward the edge of the building.

Li Xiang looked at the thin back, imagining the expression he is making now and also remembering what he just did, then smiled contentedly

' silly '

'and cute'

we stepped inside, everything was dark so Li Xiang took out a spotlight hand lamp, holding hands we walked slowly we drift into the darkness.
