Capítulo 81: The Necromancer and the Priestess (15)
Several days later, the party was currently camping out in Gloom Forest. Unlike what one would expect when coming to Gloom Forest, everyone present was merrily chatting away and cooking and eating, as if they were on vacation. Was this the attitude of the strong?
The only nervous person was that newbie kid Alex, who was the only person amongst the group who had yet to experience Yin Mei's hellish training.
Whenever these little brats complained that her training was hellish, she really wanted to retort - it was only a little bit of fighting, what in the world were they so hung up about?
If they heard her say that, they would definitely question her standards.
Yin Mei finished cooking, the delicious scent causing the groups stomaches to all rumble at once, as Arthur, Rose, and Lana were already gathered around the campfire, drooling as they stared intently at the pot of stew and several small birds being roasted.
Hmm, Yin Mei was remembering the past, whenever she would cook for the little kids during the zombie apocalypse, they would also act like this. She had also cooked for Yao Heyan and her own kids, and thinking about Yao Heyan's expression at the time, she would immediately start feeling smug all over. Though actually having cooked for her kids had ended up being really troublesome, since the result was that they became immensely picky gourmets.
These kids as well. She knew that secretly the reason they all wanted her to come with them on missions was simply because they missed her cooking!
She ladled out the soup and cut up the roasted meat, handing out the food. When the newbie Alex tried it out, he was immediately blown away, wanting to tear up. Among the White Bird party members, not a single one could cook competently, and thus they were reduced to eating salted jerky and burnt monsters most of the time. In comparison, Yin Mei's food was beyond heavenly. It was as if the goddess herself had come down to bless this meal to be the most delicious ever in existence.
Yin Mei also sat down to eat. She checked the system mission, sighing when she saw it was unchanged. She really wanted to punch this screen, but too bad that wouldn't accomplish anything. On the other hand, considering just how little progress they had made in trying to figure out how to get to the demon world, she was wondering if the result would just be them waiting for the demon bridge to open anyways.
She felt extremely frustrated...
...
... Wait a second? She felt like she was forgetting something important.
!!! Yin Mei looked at the system. F*ck, she had forgotten this system had a surveillance feature! She had spent several months developing that stupid information gathering magic, and then had spent more months in frustration when they couldn't get anything on El, and here she had the most OP information gathering magic in her hands already!
What the hell!
She felt so silly, but quickly had the system show El as fast as possible. It had been a year since she had seen the beautiful face of her beloved man- oops, she meant that stupid b*stard who dared to leave her behind in the human world.
The system displayed an image of El. His face was as beautiful as ever, though the dark cool dark grayish skin was something to get used to, along with the dark black horns that curved up out from his head. Did he always have those? El currently had on a thinly disguised expression of annoyance, as some silver haired beauty was grabbing at his wrist, her eyes teary as they enacted some soap drama-esque scene.
"Azazel! What in the world happened in the human world that you won't talk to me about it? Even breaking our engagement as soon as you got back... if you tell me, then we can work through it together!"
Snap.
"Huh? Did someone just hear a- hiii!" Arthur saw the murderous aura around Yin Mei and immediately let out a girlish shriek as his face paled, drawing the attention of others, who also turned pale.
They don't know what in the world had happened, but they knew that their leader was angry. They had never seen her this angry before. It was on the level where they were contemplating who to sacrifice, how they should go about conquering the world or defeating the king, and wondering if it was a person that had angered her, what sort of torture they should enact upon them to thus curb her outrage.
On the other hand, Yin Mei was thinking of all the ways that she would dispose of that slut that dared to touch her man and actually had the guts to enact this scene like straight out of a romance drama! Disciplining El could come later. She first had to hurry up and go to the demon world and proclaim ownership. Look, he was only gone for a year and see all the flies he attracted!
To explain Yin Mei's possessiveness, one should look at her previous crimes in her last life. At that time, Yin Mei had been pregnant with her first child, and it had already been announced with much fanfare to their parents. Yao Heyan had spent much of his time dealing with business matters, so that when their daughter was born they could spend their time taking care of her, and so when Yao Heyan's ex-girlfriend had popped up in front of Yin Mei, Yao Heyan had been on a business trip at the time.
When he came back, Yao Heyan no longer had an ex-girlfriend.
As for those girls that dared tried to flirt with him, Yin Mei would show them the sheer difference between them and herself. Dared to actually try and flirt with her man with your pathetic looks and ability? Hah!
In other words, let us just say that although Yin Mei wasn't the type to restrict the actions of her man, she was definitely the type that would act behind the scenes to make sure no woman could get their grubby hands onto him.
Rosella was about to get up to approach approach Yin Mei, but immediately two hands grabbed her shoulder, pulling her back. She turned her head around, and Arthur, along with another member of the party, a beautiful man with long hair called Lang, were shaking their heads frantically.
Only after a while did Yin Mei calm down and she realized that the campsite had fallen completely silent, with everyone frozen.
"What are you all doing? Is the food not to your tastes?" She asked with a cool voice, and they all shook their heads as quickly as possible, immediately shoveling the food down their mouths, to the point that Arthur almost choked.
But thankfully, his sacrifice caused the air to go back to normal, and everyone started chatting again, though their voices were much quieter than before.
Yin Mei had already shut down the surveillance, her mind filled with the ways that she would punish that girl later. And also El. Though her priorities had changed, she still didn't forget that she would need to thoroughly scold that guy for running away.
Meanwhile, in the demon world, El had dead fish eyes as he was being annoyed for the nth time by this girl. He would have gotten rid of her already, if only she wasn't the daughter of the demon king. It was already difficult enough breaking their engagement - god knows how many excuses and extra work he had needed to do so.
But she was stubbornly continuing to bother him, even though the only reason that he had gotten engaged with her was due to her status. But now that he had his Celes back in the human world, of course he would break things off. But she just wouldn't get the hint.
"Azazel! Are you even listening to me?" Eve said, feeling upset inside. After all, before, Azazel would always treat her like a princess. But ever since he returned from the human realm, he had completely disregarded her.
"No," El answered with a cold voice, shocking Eve. She burst into tears, running off, but El didn't bother with her.
He was currently still researching how to open the demon bridge, how could he have time to comfort an idiot girl who didn't understand etiquette?
It had already been a year since he had last seen Celes. Was she doing well? Since he wasn't there, he was constantly worried about her health, or if any flies were buzzing around her. He hated the fact that it had been necessary for him to return to the demon world - if he had a choice, he definitely would have stayed. But his original body had gotten too weak from being sealed up for thousands of years. The only solution was to just open up the demon bridge as soon as possible, in order to reunite with Celes.
Back to Yin Mei, she was casually sitting on top of a boulder, dutifully polishing her sword, as the people around her fought off a group of monster. Rosella shouted out orders, and blood, magic, and arrows flew all around them.
She admired her handiwork, as a dark spell from a monster flew to her. Alex, the rookie, was about to shout out in surprise in warning, but the spell dissipated as it hit a barrier, which glimmered gold for a moment before becoming invisible again.
He gaped in amazement, but was snapped back to attention by a monster flying toward him. "Get your act together and focus!" Ryan shouted, and the boy winced but quickly put up his sword to block the claws that swiped down at him.
Yin Mei swung her sword a few times, whistling a happy tune as she imagined it slicing up that silver haired girl. Just because she was a little pretty, she thought she could get El's attention? Yin Mei's sinister laugh and smile sent chills down the backs of everyone present. Someone please tell them what in the world had angered their leader so much. Today and tomorrow both, just look at that murderous aura she was leaking out!
When the battle was finished, the party members pushed and whispered at each other. "You go ask her!"
"No, you ask! Do I look like I'm suicidal?"
It was to the point that even Yin Mei noticed something was wrong, feeling very irritated at the whispers that were being exchanged.
They finally pushed the rookie Alex forward, who was pale faced and nervous sweating. But, since he had yet to experience the true terror that was called Yin Mei. In other words, he had neither seen her in action, nor experienced her training. So he gathered up his courage to ask what was upsetting her.
Yin Mei smiled sweetly in response, terrifying the other kids. "No, I'm just a little angry at someone who did something they shouldn't have."
Immediately, the other kids all rushed in, speaking all at once. "Who is this b*stard? Leader, just say the word and we'll definitely teach them a lesson!"
"Let's kidnap them and teach them not to mess with the leader!"
They stared at her with sparkling eyes, waiting for her verdict.
"Maybe next time," Yin Mei replied. That person was in the demon world, what in the world could they do right now? They would have to wait for the demon bridge to open, or figure out some other discreet way to go there before being able to do anything.
Everyone put on disappointed expressions. Would they have to continue dealing with the leader's intense murderous aura until she could vent her anger out? No way! They wouldn't be able to survive that way.
They needed to quickly get her mind off things! The result was that the group members all sucked up to her and treated her like royalty... like they normally did anyways.
... Yin Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
