Chapter 88: Prayer
“But, but ……”
Tina stuttered but apart from ‘but’ no words came out of her mouth. Her face was so hot, and she fell into an inner turmoil of whether to stay or not.
He was handsome, also her savior and also a mysterious wizard and all in all he was so appeasing and aesthetic with her taste. She also felt butterflies all over her stomach when talking to him, after getting along for sometime, it was the time he was talking quite seriously.
It was just a wallop away from fast-forwarding to confession.
At least that’s what Tina thought.
Unbeknownst to her thought, Shen Yi calmly looked at her and said. “The person who wants to harm you will most likely come again tonight.”
“What, come again tonight?”
It was like pouring the cold water on all her fantasy, Tina was startled to the core, the little redness on her face faded into paleness, feeling a palpable fear.
Shen Yi nodded slightly “Yes.”
Tina folded her arms around her chest and stopped talking, once again recalling the various mutations of her body and the almost unceasing ravings she had been having every day and night then.
At the mere thought made her shudder and broke out in cold sweat, she lower her head and asked in a meek voice. “Teacher, if I stay, you’ll protect me again, won’t you?”
“Yes.”
Looking at Tina’s scared face he nodded once more, and was determined to not let the Pseudo-Gods succeed.
Time fled so fast and the evening arrived.
After sending the last customer, Shen Yi put the closed sign and closed the cafe, leaving only a spot with light.
He and Tina both sat across each other, the table was set with snacks, and a box of cards and a box of chess.
Shen Yi took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and nodded softly.
He was so relaxed, completely contrasting to Tina sitting across, whose legs were trembling, and was bitting the lips.
“Another cup of coffee?”
Tina shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, if I drink any more I’ll have to go to the restroom again.”
Whether it was she was too nervous or what, but Tina had gone to the restroom three times in a row so far this night.
Shen Yi just smiled and calmly enjoyed the coffee.
It was not that he wasn’t nervous, but the more nervous he became the more relaxed he became. Because he knew that Tina’s mental quality was not passable and was already scared, if he showed any sign of nervousness, he would definitely fill her with fear, and it wouldn’t help both of them.
Shen Yi thought silently that he could protect her.
“If it doesn’t work, just sleep.” He said. “It’ll be fine as soon as you wake up.”
Tina’s mind thought of countless possibilities, but no matter what the ending was worse than other. So she also felt it was better to sleep than daydreaming, so she fell asleep on the table in the middle of the night. Shen Yi remained awake all night.
Shen Yi put a coat on her to prevent her from catching a cold in the night.
And so the night passed slowly, eventually dawn came, but the expected attack from the Pseudo-Gods never appeared.
The birds started to chirp and the morning sun beam peaked through the clouds sending the warmth. Shen Yi neither thought of waking Tina nor opening the store.
Before Su Ling gave new information, he still acquiesced that the Pseudo-Gods might launch an attack and did not relax his vigilance at all.
The big deal was that the shop would be close today.
He had already thought about it.
If the Pseudo-Gods escaped during the roundup and was not captured by the Anti-Magic Bureau, let Tina and Su Ling go to the Anti-Magic Bureau for protection.
After all, there were many people in the Anti-Magic Bureau, and taking turns to protect up one person was definitely easier than himself.
The time went on like this until morning.
Shen Yi, who had an increase in spiritual power, also felt tired, and just then, he suddenly saw someone approaching from the window.
Um.
Su Ling.
He sighed in relief and stood up, opening the glass door before Su Ling came in.
“Come sit over here.”
Su Ling found that Shen Yi did not open the shop today, and then found the girl sleeping over the table.
Could it be that they were alone in a room together at night. And he looked a bit tired.
What exactly did you guys do at night, that make a strong person of your level feel tired …… Su Ling was shocked inside and was a bit worried for that girl.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
He was so exhausted at this moment he want nothing more than his little bed, if it weren’t for Pesudo-god he would also lay flat, he noticed that Su Ling was looking at sleeping Tina, and thought: “Do you want to sleep too?”
“No, I’ll just forget it, don’t.”
Shen Yi always felt strange, but didn’t know what.
“Any drinks?”
“Latte.”
Shen Yi nodded lightly, suppressed yawning, and went to make a cup of rich latte for Su Ling.
“Tell us about the progress.”
“Success.” Su Ling answered straight to the point.
“Not only has the Senator’s family been protected, most of the families that believe in the Lord of Miracles have been controlled, and the Senator Green will no longer participate in this campaign.”
“As for the Pseudo-God, he has also been successfully captured by us.”
Shen Yi was slightly stunned, what, the Pseudo-God has been successfully captured by you? Is it that easy?
Su Ling took a sip of the latte and immediately felt refreshed, and the rich taste lingered in her mouth for a long time.
Delicious.
She nodded her head, not at all like she was joking, and continued, “The Pseudo-Gods have been successfully arrested by us, thanks to your continuous help, the Director said that all mankind is indebted to you.”
Speaking as if I am not a human being, speaking of which you really caught me in it. Shen Yi felt very incredulous, but on the surface he also gave back a theatrical nod gently.
“Well, it’s good to have caught him.”
“Yes, we succeeded.”
Su Ling nodded, with undisguised joy on her face, and continued with a smile.
“It seems like he fought with someone before, and was very weak, his strength was only half of what was on the intelligence.”
“We dispatched two A-level investigators and used invisible techniques to seal off the space and prohibit the possibility of escape. Then we easily subdued him on the scene without causing any casualties.” Perhaps Su Ling herself didn’t know, at this moment she was like a child, vividly dictating what happened on the scene to parents.
Hmm? It’s that simple …… Shen Yi clasped his hands together after hearing this, always feeling that there was something wrong, but he didn’t know exactly where it was wrong.
