East Meet West

166- The passage 2

Armelia whispered in her heart.

“Since I am the only person he trusts and cares about, I will stay and accompany him for the rest of my whole life. I would never let him experience loneliness.”

“Anyone who wants to harm him must face me, from today I will also strive to become stronger so that I can also help Orochi face his enemies.”

“I don’t want to be his weakness and distraction.”

“I will become his strength.”

“No matter what he faces. Even if it is heaven, I will accompany Orochi and face the danger together with him.”

“I would not make any mistakes or let my heart interfere with things that could pose a threat to Orochi.”

“I will never show any kindness to Orochi’s enemies.”

.

When Orochi heard Armelia’s promise, he felt that it was just words and there was no truth behind them.

For Orochi, there are only two things he expects from Armelia, that is- she can control her kindness and not let any enemy live or at least don’t interfere with Orochi’s decisions. And the other being Armelia’s safety. Because if anything happens to Armelia he would be killed by heaven due to the promise given to Sheela and Bertha.

Any human, no matter how cold or ruthless he or she might be, they will always have something they cherish, love, or wish to protect or gain.

And the same goes for Orochi.

He loves Armelia and naturally hopes for her well being.

So, even if Armelia promised that she will never show kindness to enemies, he knew that some people’s nature cannot be changed so easily. So, he can only sigh and make plans to send Armelia back to the Lamia tribe soon.

Originally, Sheela allowed Armelia a period of six months, to stay with me in the human cities. And after that, she has to return back with Aunt June.

But Orochi thinks that he should somehow send Armelia within 3 months.

Because if he is with Armelia then many things will have to be postponed and many plans will be delayed. Especially, his revenge. He firmly believes that if he goes for revenge along with Armelia, she would definitely hinder him and his enemies might even play some tricks that would harm both of them.

But when he looked at Armelia’s firm eyes which were filled with determination, Orochi was surprised.

“I like the look in your eyes Armelia, so don’t disappoint me.”

Orochi thought inwardly.

The Orochi softly said,

“It’s Ok. I just don’t want you to make mistakes.”

“Yes.”

Armelia looked at him with eyes filled with determination.

‘chuckle’

Seeing her reaction Orochi couldn’t stop himself from laughing.

Seeing Orochi laughing, Armelia felt that Orochi was making fun of her. Orochi pouted and angrily hit Orochi’s chest.

“Hey, why are you laughing?”

“Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn’t hold back myself as my wife was so cute when she was speaking.”

“Bastard!!!”

Armelia angrily snorted.

Orochi teased Armelia a few more times,

“Alright then, Aunt June must be waiting for us. Get off from my lap, I am going to get cramps if you sit any longer.”

“Hey, are you saying that I am heavy?”

Orochi seriously looked into Armelia’s eyes and said,

“Yes.”

“Bastard!!!”

Armelia started hitting Orochi’s chest.

“Hahaha...”

“I am not going to get up. Let's see if I am really so heavy that you are not able to bear my weight.”

With that said, Armelia turned her body towards Orochi and hugged him.

“If you are so eager to go, then pick me up and carry me.”

“Hmph. Bastard how dare you say that I am heavy.”

‘chomp’

Armelia bit Orochi’s shoulder.

Orochi acted in pain,

“Ow... are you a dog... why are biting me?”

“Who told you to tell that I am heavy.”

Armelia angrily rebuked.

Seeing Armelia’s attitude, Orochi can only chuckle inwardly.

“Armelia, if you don’t get up soon, then you have to take responsibility for what is about to happen next.”

Armelia did not understand what Orochi was saying, but when she felt something poke in the place where she was sitting, Armelia’s face blushed and she buried her head in Orochi’s chest.

“Bastard, still thinking about something like that when are outside.”

But Orochi answered,

“Can you blame me? We did not do the deed for more than a week and my wife is so cute. So, as a healthy man, if my body doesn’t react, won’t others question my masculinity?”

“So, if you don’t want to continue, then get up.”

But surprisingly, Orochi heard an unexpected answer from Armelia.

Armelia whispered in a mosquito like voice,

“I don’t mind doing it.”

When Orochi heard this, he could not help but laugh.

Hearing Orochi’s laughter, Armelia lifted her face and proactively kissed Orochi.

.

.

After an hour, the couple got back to the place where June and Jashan were waiting.

When June saw the couple arrive, she snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to them.

Seeing her like this, Orochi could only laugh dryly.

While Jashan looked at the couple with a deep meaning in his eyes.

But when Orochi saw his look, he raised his eyebrows, seeing this Jashan immediately looked away and did not dare to look at them again.

To ease the atmosphere, Orochi opened his mouth,

“Aunt June, should we start mining then?”

“Hmph.”

June did not answer, she simply snorted and got up.

Orochi took it as a yes and moved towards the wall filled with big Low grade Energy stones.

Bang

Then the group started mining and started extracting all the Low grade energy stones.

Within a few minutes, more than 15 blocks of Low grade energy stones were mined out of the mine. And surprisingly, most of the blocks were bigger than the adult head sized Low grade energy stone that June discovered at the beginning. Some blocks of Low grade energy stones, had more than 1 to 1.5 diameter in size.

Orochi calculated that if all these 15 blocks of Low grade energy stones are cut into standard size Low grade energy stone that is circulated in the market, then they can easily get more than 10,000 Low grade energy stones.

With only these amounts of Low grade energy stones, Orochi is sure that he will reach the peak of the Demi-Human stage.

Actually, Orochi thought that the Low grade energy stone mine that they have discovered is only a small sized Low grade energy stone mine.

But looking at the number and size of Low grade energy stones that are being mined from the Low grade energy stone mine, he felt that maybe this time they might have discovered a Medium sized Low grade energy stone mine.
