Chapter 324 - Li Naʼs Hurdles

It seemed Tang Shaoyang and Li Na were in the Ant Kingdomʼs territory. After confronting the Scorched Ant Colony, they encountered another ant colony.

————————

[Obsidian Ant]

Affiliation: Ant Kingdom - Obsidian Colony

Evolution: Stage 4

Level: 99

Skill:???

————————

Obsidian Ant was low-level compared to the Scorched Ant, but there was one thing that made them hard to kill. It was their carapace, the carapace was harder than steel. Li Naʼs arrows could not pierce the carapace, she had to use her sword to kill the Obsidian Ant.

It was a thick jet-black carapace, even with her swords, she needed three to five attacks to pierce their defense. Of course, the fight was not slowed down because Tang Shaoyang easily killed them with his lightning.

He was too powerful for the Ant Colony, in one day, the two managed to wipe out two armies of the two ant colonies.

Night had arrived, even Tang Shaoyang did not need sleep and could go on. Li Na was very exhausted as her face told him that. So, they did not go to the nest core and got a pretty safe spot before they called it a day.

—I wonder what Rumru would say if he sees how you use his [Dragon Fire]

Zowen remarked as four burning torches made of [Dragon Fire] lightened up the dark tunnel. Li Na and Tang Shaoyang were inside the Obsidian Ant tunnel. It was similar to the Scorched Ant, but there was no warm flow, itʼs cold and the air was murky.

Not the best place to have their night, but it was much better than outside. Especially with the torches, it was not that cold anymore.

Li Na watched dumbfoundedly at Tang Shaoyang who was taking out a bed from his inventory. She stopped eating just to watch the man arrange the bed, it was a big bed that fit four people to sleep on.

The thought of bringing out the bed was never crossed in Li Naʼs mind. They came here to battle for their life, no one could think of bringing the bed from the Earth.

While in fact, it was never his idea to bring the bed. It was Selenaʼs idea. HZ Bay houses were big with at least four bedrooms, while walking around the house, she discovered that each house had many beds. So she brought the idea to him.

After experiencing several portals, he knew that he would sleep outside for most of the time. He took the idea positively. It was a set of a bed and a blanket.

After setting the bed, he went out of their safe tunnel, ”I am going out to change,” Li Na nodded her head as she was no longer surprised with his antics.

”Hah…” she let out a sigh, sometimes, the man was so distant and hard to approach. Sometimes, the man was overly friendly and easy to talk with. And sometimes, he would do something silly such as having a race against her summon.

This caused her trouble approaching the man. She just did not know what she was supposed to do to get closer to the man. Even though she kept encouraging herself to act bolder, she did not want him to look at her like a cheap girl too.

”This is so complicated…” Li Na blurted out her thoughts without her realizing it. It was coincidentally Tang Shaoyang returned, ”What is so complicated?” He asked the girl.

”Nothing,” Li Na immediately shook her head and continued eating her food. The inventory system was advanced stuff, the food would not go bad if you put it in the inventory.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and went to his soft bed. He came back with a set of new clothes as he did not want to dirty the bed.

Li Na soon finished her food. She then looked at the bed and the hard ground next to her. The girl kept encouraging herself to act bolder, and this was her chance. She should ask him for a spot on the bed since the bed was so big, hoping the man would make a move on her.

However, Li Na did not know where to start with. They were not that close and barely exchanged conversation. She just could not say, ”Hey, you look to have a spot here, can I sleep on your bed?”

ʼStupid Li Na, that will make you look like a cheap girl!ʼ She scolded herself inwardly. But she also did not know how to approach him. She wanted to approach, badly, yet she was clueless.

The girl wanted to appear perfect in the manʼs eyes hence she struggled a lot. Her mouth opened and closed again, wanting to say something but no words came out.

Tang Shaoyang was stretching his body and was about to lay down on the bed. Then he noticed the girl was staring straight at him in a daze. Her eyes were unfocused, ʼDoes she want to sleep on the bed too?ʼ

He assumed Li Na wanted to sleep on the bed, but she felt awkward speaking that out, ”Do you want to sleep on the bed too?” Out of consideration, he asked her.

Tang Shaoyang thought the girl would refuse at first, and he could persuade her by saying to divide the bed with a line. However, her response was unexpected for him, Li Na nodded her head vigorously.

ʼHuh!? So she wants to sleep on the bed that badly?ʼ He chuckled inwardly to not embarrass the girl as he pointed at the other side of the bed, ”You can have the other half!”

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Li Na looked at the man in a daze. Soon her cheeks flushed red. She was nodding her head without that much thought and consideration.

ʼWhat should I do? What should I do?ʼ She was panicking inside, she then looked toward Tang Shaoyang. He seemed to not notice her unusualness. It relieved her a little bit, but did he really not notice?

ʼWhat if he just pretends not to notice my strangeness out of consideration?ʼ She was overthinking, Tang Shaoyang thought the girl was embarrassed instead. So he immediately laid down on the bed to not embarrass her further.

—Master, you are overthinking! What you should do is to change your clothes into clean ones. If you dirty the bed, he may dislike you.

Moon could not bear it anymore. He tried to maintain his silence, letting her make her own move. But it was impossible as his Master tended to overthink.

ʼAh, you are right. No, I should take a bath too. I donʼt smell good,ʼ she tried to smell her armpit, it did not smell as good as before.

—Where will get the water to the bath, Master? You just need to change your clothes, wipe your body with the dirty clothes may do the magic too. Unless you want to bathe with my fire?

ʼThatʼs right,ʼ Li Na got an idea as she walked outside of the bright tunnel. Tang Shaoyang was aware that Li Na was leaving the tunnel, but he did stop here. It must be something private so she did not want to say it.

Ten minutes later, Li Na came back with clean clothes. She wore a casual shirt and short pants, revealing her silky smooth thigh. Her face was red, but she braced herself to come out.

Unfortunate for her, Tang Shaoyang was looking away and had his face looked to the side. It was fortunate and unfortunate for her side. She wanted to show her long legs, but she was also embarrassed at the same time.

The girl slowly approached the bed from the other side. Her steps were slow, making a little noise as much as possible. She did not want to disturb the manʼs rest.

Li Na climbed up to the bed. Her mind was occupied by Tang Shaoyang, and her body was fatigued. She skipped the night training and hid her body under the blanket. All of her effort to show her beautiful thigh was futile because of the blanket.

—Now jump onto him, Master! This is your chance, capture his body with yours, and capture his heart later!

Moon encouraged his Master to make the next move. Li Na looked to the manʼs back and immediately shook her head. She was not courageous enough to jump into that. She lacked the push like her first time.

Moon was kept encouraging his Master, causing Li Na to grow restless. She was struggling with her inner thoughts all night and fell asleep without realizing it.
