Chương 23: Ch 23-The City of Adepti
After I started following her for a few very long hours we fiany arrived at a random hill that looked completely nrmall but my instincts said otherwise
"Let me guess there is some sort of illusion barrier that keeps out intruders otherwise humans unless another Adepti of your rank allows them to," I said with full confidence in my Wuxia knowledge
Looking at me in surprise she said "You can tell?
"Nope just a wild guess and literally the only thing I could come up with since there is nothing in front of us except a hill"
Looking at me in surprise she nodded her head at me seemingly signifying 'good deduction' and proceeded to draw a few Chinese or should I call them Adeptal characters? Anyway, as she drew them midair they disappeared and she looked at me and said "Follow me"
Following her i suddenly felt some sort of membrane covering me, guessing it was the barrier I pushed a but more and i went through it.
though when I did the scene in front of me took me by surprise lots of animals and humans with animal features waked through the streets of chinses looking city. and at the center of it all was a castle that scramed 'important person living here'.
Jingliu looked at me with a smug smile and said "Are you surprised~"
"The only thing I'm surprised about is that i haven't seen any young masters yet"
"Young...Masters?"
"Oh well if it isn't Miss JIngliu what a conscience to meet you here" suddenly said a voice to our side. it was a handsome young man with orange hair tied into a ponytail, short cat-looking ears, and in a manchu-style male dress.
'mhm as if i bet your her stalker or something and you were waiting for her to return all this time' i said in my mind sarcastically.
"Jin Ping, the young master of the Ping tiger clan it is a pleasure to see you as well," she said in a cold tone.
'Yep, she definitely doesn't like him, and tiger clan? That would explain his orange hair and the cat ears'
Ignoring her cold tone he said "You look tired from the long journey you had. Conincidentaly I was about to go to a newly open tea house near the southern district, and I would love to have your company" he said completely ignoring my existence.
"My apologies but I have duties to attend to," she said trying to be as nice as possible I could already see a vein bulging in her forehead from annoyance.
hearing her words a frown appeared on his face and looked at me "Is it perhaps because of this inferior specimen, Don't worry we can just put him in the stables along with the horses"
"💢" Hearing his words a vein bulged in my forehead until I got a great idea.
'Heheheh so this is the face of my first victim' I thought inwardly
Jingliu hearing his words raised an eyebrow and looked at me to see my reaction.
Putting my best Pokerface I approached the two slowly as I went behind JIngliu and hugged her "Sweetie who is this man, a friend of yours"
"..." *[Jingliu.exe] has stopped working*
"..." Jin Ping
Looking at her blanc look trying to figure out what was happening I spoke up "Hello there is your name Jin Ping It is nice to meet you kid I'm Jingliu's close FRIEND"
"W-what! How prosperous Miss Jingliu would never get together with a human!" he said as he tried to deny reality, well the fake reality I made.
hearing his words a grin appeared on my face and I said "OHH yes it is!"
"NO it isn't!"
"Hehehe YES it is!" hehe Looking at his pitiful lifeless look, an even bigger smile crept up my face. is this what NTR villains feel like? well, it's not like it's NTR from the beginning.
as Jingliu was still out of commission, I picked her up princess style and sprouted my Dragon Wings "Anyways we have important business to attend to so see you around" I said as I took to the sky with Jingliu in my arms.
Dam that was funny the defeated expression on his face was priceless! shit am I getting drawn in by the dark side cookies.
"Meliodas~" hearing Jingliu's voice, cold sweat went down my face as I stiffly looked at her "Smile" that definitely emanated danger.
"You know after our fight I've been ITCHING to have another spar with you, so after talking with the king let's have another spar between us~," she said with her not so much of a smile on her face.
"You know I'm still tired from the fight we had earlier and-" Before I could continue she gripped my head with her hand and said
"We're going to spar rigth~" Hearing her sweet words that were more of a threat I could only shake my head in compliance.
"Y-yes"

New Pov-3rd
As Meliodas and Jingliu had finally arrived at the castle they went towards the gate.
"Identify yourselves!!!" said the guards at the gate.
JIngliu rolled her eyes at the over-enthusiastic guards she pulled out a jade talisman and showed it to the guards.
"You may enter," the guard said after they inspected her talisman
As they both entered Meliodas asked "Um why do you need to have that talisman, im sure you high enough rank to go in without one"
"Because for all they know, I could be a shapeshifter or an illusionist pretending to be me," she said.
nodding in understanding Meliods just kept following her. As they kept walking through they finally made it inside and Melodas could only be amazed by the castle's insides. Although the palace looks great from the outside, it is even more luxurious from the inside as it is all in red and pure gold. Meliodas felt like taking one of the pillars made of gold from the palace but he decided not to.
as they continued walking they both made it to an oversized door that had a drawing of a monkey flying on a cloud.
"You may enter, the monkey king awaits you," the guards near the door said as they opened the massive door.
