Chapter 329: Huai Wei

Chapter 329: Huai Wei

With Huai Wei on his back, Gao Yang walked to a part of the beach on the F Island that was all skerries; the place saw fewer visitors, and it was practically empty this late at night.

The rain stopped then.

Sitting on a rock, the two of them allowed the wind to dry their hair and clothes.

“Are you feeling better?” Gao Yang asked.

“Yeah, much better.”

Huai Wei touched her side, where there should be a gash, and said in disbelief, “How, how did you heal me? Are you a celestial being? Do you know magic?”

Gao Yang paused, unsure where to even start.

Now he was more or less certain that the girl was human, but there were still questions to answer.

“Huai Wei, I’m going to ask the questions now. Please be open with me.”

Huai Wei nodded. She was naturally unguarded with her savior.

“You said that your pops tried to kill you. Why?”

Panic returned to Huai Wei’s eyes. She lowered her head, hands holding together tightly. “I, I don’t know... Pops was always caring with me, but tonight, he suddenly turned into...into a demon.”

Demon?

Gao Yang considered the choice of words, already coming to a tentative conclusion.

Huai Wei was still reeling from the experience. She shook her head vehemently. “No, that wasn’t my pops. He must have been attacked by the demon. Then the demon came after me...”

“Huai Wei, have you ever considered why the demon attacked you?” Gao Yang presented the question in the way Huai Wei framed things.

“That’s what demons do.”

“I know, but why you, specifically?” Gao Yang nudged her in the right direction. “Could it have something to do with your experience?”

Huai Wei paused before her eyes lit up. She looked up at Gao Yang. “Is it because I can do magic just like you?”

Gao Yang gave her an inquisitive look. “What magic can you do?”

“I think...I can go from one place to another place,” Huai Wei said with uncertainty.

Gao Yang started. Could it be a Time-Space Talent? Something that would allow her to teleport?

“When did you learn it? Can you tell me in more detail?”

Huai Wei looked down, her fine facial features arranged into a hesitant look.

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but I don’t know how to help you as it is.” Gao Yang conceded, when in truth was pressing her to open up.

“I’ll tell you.”

“That won’t be necessary. I’m not that...”

Her stomach protested again. Huai Wei covered her face with both hands and fell silent.

“I’ll be back.” Gao Yang smiled. Her body was more honest than her.

...

Gao Yang couldn’t afford to take too long, so he quickly walked into the convenience store and grabbed some snacks and drinks at random, paying at the cashier.

A few minutes later, he rushed back to the remote skerries and saw four strangers circling Huai Wei, pushing her around roughly.

Shit!

I knew something would happen!

Gao Yang ran up to them with the bag of snacks. Once he got close enough to get a good look, he realized that the four strangers were the young tourists who had been having fun in the rain on the beach earlier, two men and two women.

Judging by their appearance, they were likely tourists from Li City, and they practically breathed alcohol with the amount of drinks they had had.

“Hey, pretty girl. Are you cosplaying?” The young man with a middle part yanked Huai Wei toward him in a lecherous manner, going so far as to circle her supple narrow waist.

“Let go! What, what are you...”

Huai Wei struggled, but her hands were grabbed by the drunk man with a shaved head. “Don’t be nervous, lady. Why don’t we have some fun?”

“Yeah, don’t pretend to be a prude.” The two girls scoffed derisively, watching from the sidelines like it was an entertaining show.

“Stop!”

Gao Yang ran up to them.

The man with a middle part glanced up at Gao Yang. “Ha, is this your little pet, pretty girl?”

“Not bad.” The woman with a tapered chin spoke up. “Relax, cutie. Let’s all play together.”

“Let her go!” Gao Yang raised his voice, his gaze turning fierce as he stalked up to the four of them.

The two girls realized that things weren’t going the way they expected and sobered up somewhat, keeping their mouths sealed.

The man with a shaved head let go of Huai Wei’s hands too.

Only the man with a middle part was still holding onto Huai Wei, giving Gao Yang a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

“Brother Shuang, forget it. Let’s go,” the man with a shaved head said.

“Yeah, he’s getting angry. He’s not getting the joke.” The girl with a tapered chin urged too. “Let’s go and have more fun ourselves.”

However, Brother Shuang, the man with a middle part, did not let go of Huai Wei. He suddenly took out a swiss army knife from his pants pocket and pressed it to Huai Wei’s pale neck.

“Don’t come any closer! Or I’m going to kill her right now!”
