Chapter 147: 147

"How do we open it up?"

Xiao asked, his eyes moving to the closed eyelids on the top of her head, for a normal human belonging to the empire who hasn't moved through the world, would definitely find the third eye on Li Lun's head extremely disturbing and unsightly but to Xiao who has traveled the heavens, it didn't affect him at all.

For heaven's sake, Xiao had actually once met a woman with only eyes on her face! thinking back to that experience Xiao's body naturally shuddered, that was one face he didn't want to even remember,

"I actually don't know...."

Li Lun muttered with a downcast expression, hearing so Xiao looked at Li Lun waiting for her explanation, a troubled expression marred Li Lun's face as she spoke in an unconfident voice,

"I actually don't know, it should normally open and work at my command but it doesn't seem to be the case now"

"That's odd...."

Xiao replied as he focused deeply on the shut-eye on Li Lun's forehead, a large part of Li Lun's power is actually depended on the third eye she has, the eye that lets her rip apart the extreme boundaries of space as if it made of paper, the eye that lets her mark her opponent such that none shall leave the grasp of her arrow,

'What's the main problem here?'

Xiao wondered as he gazed at Li Lun, in the book the part about Li Lun's story only began after she has entered the first level of the tower, the real level where all constellations fight against each other to reach the zenith of the tower, to get that one wish,

"What does it feel like when you try to access the eye?"

Xiao asked to which a brooding look took over Li Lun's face, a few seconds later she spoke,

"It's as if it's not accepting my command, more like a tantrum thrown by a little child when it's not feeling happy"

'You are talking about an eye right?'

Even though Xiao wanted to ask this he kept it in his heart, as he thought through the words that Li Lun spoke, while they sounded jibberish, it has their own sense of logic,

'Just what could be the problem?'

While he was thinking so suddenly Xiao's eyes lit up, a certain thought that he had passed aside entering his mind,

'Maybe it's...that?'

Just as he thought so the surrounding around them started to shake,

"Roar!"

The roar of a beast was heard as a certain bush was pushed aside, as a slithering beast emerged, it was completely black in color, it had four eyes on its head while its tail was long and sharp, capable of killing with a shot,

"Looks like we have company"

Xiao spoke but he didn't do anything, as the one beside him Li Lun shot an arrow at the beast who quickly dodged it, its mouth opened up as light started to gather within it, sadly that was the last thing it did as the arrow that was shot suddenly appeared from below the beast's chin and killing it with one plunge,

"Nice shot"

"Thanks"

Xiao spoke and Li Lun replied but they couldn't keep up their good luck forever as a humongous pressure started to reek out from somewhere, seeing so the duo's expression turned serious,

"Looks like the trial won't be just a search, it seems to be a search and survive"

Upon saying so the duo quickly moved away from their current location, Xiao knew that the beast had locked onto their aura and felt its power, he knew that neither he nor Li Lun has a chance against it now,

"Hole on tight"

Xiao said after which he quickly took Li Lun in a princess carry, enforcing his soul energy, Xiao activated one of his skills, [forgotten], and just as he did so his aura and life force completely vanished from existence, he was still there running about but no sense be it divine or immortal was now capable of sensing him or Li Lun,

"Wrope!?"

An enraged roar in a language Xiao couldn't understand was heard, hearing so a smile took Xiao's face as he moved quickly, his skill making it such that no detection ability could work on him, hence his path forward was completely uninterrupted, while Li Lun who was in his embrace seemed to have no desire to ask anything as she enjoyed the ride she was getting, coming even closer as she took in his scent,

'What the hell is this?'

While Teresa who wanted to enjoy the show looked completely flabbergasted, as she looked at the scene of Xiao leisurely moving around the forest, sneakily under the eyes of powerful beasts,

'Why can't I feel his presence?'

No matter how hard she tried, Teresa was couldn't feel Xiao's presence at all, her sense was at least at the top of the pyramid yet she couldn't sense anything, she could see him but nothing else, his existence was as if forgotten by the world,

'No heat, life or energy signature can be felt'

Her eyes turned grave when she thought of this, as goosebumps rose all over her, she was sure that if Xiao took the path of an assassin then he would undoubtedly emerge as the most dangerous one that ever existed,

'If that bastard got to know of this, I am sure that he will fight tooth and nail to get him'

In the end, Teresa shook her head as she just got back to enjoying the scene in front of her, mildly anticipating the time that the monster in front of her will grace the stage of the behemoths,

'I would love to see the face of those stuck-up fossils when he destroyed every logic they live by'

Thinking till here a chuckle left her mouth as she focused turned back to the duo that has now taken shelter in a relatively safe area,

"What was that?"

Li Lun asked, she had seen how none of the beauty around them seem to even feel their presence,

"Its a certain power"

Xiao nonchalantly replied, to which Li Lun took it as a fact, leaning against the cave she was in a small chuckle left her mouth, hearing so Xiao looked at Li Lun with a questioning gaze, seeing so she waved her hands about as she replied,

"Nothing, it's just that I always dreamed of this scenario, both of us together fighting hand in hand, me saving your life while you protected mine"

A fond smile of the past that she dreamed of not long ago appeared in Li Lun's mind, seeing so a wry smile took Xiao's face as she leaned against the wall he was in,

"Fun as that sounds we still have to figure out the problem with your eye, this whole place is teeming with beasts far beyond our level, its best to take caution while we hunt"

Xiao's power could definitely help them escape but it's on the premise that the beast is far away and was tracking him with its senses, in the case of an actual eye contact all he could do was run as far as possible until he could erase his presence and hide, and that could only even happen if the beast even let him out of its sight,

"True"

Li Lun replied, seeing so Xiao looked at her for a bit after which he spoke,

"Why don't you try to increase your sight over the space and void now, maybe we could get lucky"

Upon hearing Xiao's words Li Lun nodded her head, her expression turning serious as her eyes started to sparkle about, all around her small little cracks opening up, their insides looking dark and creepy. Li Lun kept opening several such cracks all around her, as her eyes seemingly started to come to life.

Looking deeply into it Xiao almost lost himself for a moment, he shook his head to regain his focus, and a bitter smile came to his face as he thought of a certain past,

'What a difference....'

In the past some time before his demise he had met the Li Lun that had grown, he couldn't see her body or anything else, she was covered by a grey cloak that hid everything, and only three eyes appeared in that darkness, all three of them darker than death without a shred of life.

Unlike the current eyes, he was seeing, were sparkles of grey were lighting and dancing in amethyst pair of eyes, looking like a sparkling gem.
