With the repeated gratitude of the Haruno family, Tianluo and Akeno embarked on their journey again.
"Tianluo, let's get out of here quickly!"
As soon as they walked out of Haruno's house, Akeno said anxiously.
Because of their identities, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they usually bypassed the territories of demons and churches during their travels. However, they did not expect that this time they not only broke into the demon's territory, but also rescued the other party's contractor from the hands of the evil spirit.
Although Akeno did not regret saving Aunt Haruno's child, there were many arrogant people in the Demon Center. If the other party knew that his contractor was saved by the two of them, he would definitely not tolerate it. In order to wash away this stain, he might catch up with the two of them and cause trouble.
Looking at the girl's worried and anxious look, Tianluo nodded in agreement, but he was still a little concerned in his heart.
Graymori, this can't be just a simple coincidence…
…
"Tianluo, let's stay here tonight!"
A few days later, the two stood in front of an abandoned temple, Akeno said happily.
Because they have been traveling all the time, the two have become very good at finding abandoned temples, shrines, and the like, and it feels like it has become a special skill.
"Akeno will take care of the cooking, and I will be in charge of cleaning the temple."
"Okay, let's see who finishes first!"
"It should be me…"
"No, it's definitely me this time!"
They divided the work and cooperated with each other, and chatted with each other from time to time. Even though the journey was hard, the two of them didn't feel lonely at all.
It didn't take long for Zhu Nai to prepare the delicious food, and Tian Luo also cleaned the temple and built a temporary nest for the two of them.
As they ate the hot food, an incomparable happiness surged into their hearts. The things that many people pursue throughout their lives are often so simple.
"Hey, Tianluo, it would be nice if we could just keep traveling like this…"
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Akeno suddenly spoke with emotion.
Keep traveling, just the two of us. Go to every corner of the world, see every scenery of the world, and occasionally help those who need help during the journey, until the end of the world, the corner of the sea…
There must be an extremely romantic and beautiful picture in the girl's mind at this moment. Tian Luo smiled and said nothing, but he knew clearly in his heart –
This is also impossible…
At night, the two of them lay in each other's arms in the makeshift nest as usual. Although there were occasional cold crows crowing outside, the two people who were keeping each other warm did not feel the slightest bit of cold.
However, at a certain moment, the corners of their eyes moved, and they opened their eyes at the same time——
"The trap has been triggered."
"Yes, someone came in."
Tianluo frowned, while Akeno looked a little nervous.
No one knew who triggered the trap, perhaps an ordinary wild beast, or a passerby who happened to pass by, or perhaps it was the cultivator who was chasing them!
After looking at each other, the two of them gently got up, picked up their weapons, and hid behind the pillars in the temple.
No matter who comes in, let's just wait and see what happens.
After a while, under the gaze of the two men, two figures walked in from outside the dilapidated temple door.
Although the temple was dark, the two people with the blood of demons and fallen angels could see clearly. A middle-aged man dressed like an elegant butler walked into the temple, and a young girl walked in front of him.
The girl was about the same age as the two men, with a pretty face and a noble beauty. Her long bright red hair was very eye-catching even in the dark, noble and beautiful, making people fall in love with her.
The two people who entered the temple stopped in the middle of the courtyard. The girl looked around with her big, shining eyes, and then spoke:
"Come out, I know you are here, and I want to talk to you about entering our territory, but don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Although the girl tried hard to make her voice express sincerity, the entire temple was silent and no one answered.
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler looked in the direction of Tianluo and Zhu Nai, but pushed his glasses and just smiled without saying a word, as if he had no intention of interfering.
After waiting for a long time, the girl sighed and said again, seeing that the two people hiding in the dark did not respond to her:
"In fact, there is a group of practitioners who are looking for you. They even negotiated with us and asked, 'Can you hand over the little girl who is a fallen angel to us?'"
"You have eliminated the evil spirit and saved the child. Those practitioners have also heard about this incident. I think they will find this place soon."
"But don't worry, we have no ill intentions, and we won't pursue your efforts to eliminate the evil spirits. As long as you come out and explain everything clearly, we will do our best to protect you."
As if she was afraid of scaring the two people, the girl's voice was very gentle. However, after hearing the girl's words, Akeno behind the pillar trembled all over, and her already nervous face became even paler.
Sighing slightly, Tianluo stroked Akeno's forehead comfortingly. They both knew very well that the group of practitioners who were looking for them were probably those people…
Knowing that there was no point in hiding any longer, Tianluo pulled Akeno out, then stood in front of the girl and the middle-aged man and said:
"Hello, Miss Rias, the noble princess of the Greymori family."
Yes, even though it was just their first meeting, Tian Luo was extremely sure of the girl's identity, because she was——
Rias Graymori!
…
"Do you know me?"
Looking at Tianluo who said her name, Rias seemed a little surprised, and even Akeno next to her looked at Tianluo with a puzzled expression.
"I think it would be difficult not to know the genius girl and princess of the Graymori family."
"Please tell me your name. My name is Tianluo, Shen Ye Tianluo."
Tian Luo said, touching his nose with a wry smile.
"The God Night Sky Falls…"
Rias muttered with a frown on her face.
Since the other party knew her and knew her name, he must be someone related to the underworld and demons. However, no matter how hard Yayas thought about it, she never thought that there was a demon with the surname Shen Ye in the underworld.
"Well, maybe Miss Rias doesn't know my name, but she must be very familiar with my nickname."
"There are two useless people in the underworld. The useless person who is known as the Phoenix Family is me."
Seeing the girl looking deep in thought, Tianluo coughed lightly, then reminded her with a little embarrassment.
"Wow…you are the loser from Phoenix's family…"
With her beautiful eyes wide open, Rias suddenly remembered and pointed at Tianluo, almost saying "loser". Only after she came to her senses did she quickly cover her lips with a slightly red face.
"Miss Rias, don't worry. I am a hybrid of human and devil, and I cannot awaken the blood of the Phoenix. I am indeed a real loser."
"sorry..."
Tianluo shrugged with a calm look on his face. He was already used to being called a loser, but Rias still apologized sincerely.
Turning her head to look at the middle-aged man behind her, and seeing him nod imperceptibly, Rias was completely convinced of Tianluo's identity.
Seeing Tianluo calm and composed, admitting his good-for-nothing reputation without any inferiority complex, Rias felt curious for the first time. What had this boy, who looked about the same age as her, experienced to have such a strong mind…
"Ms. Rias, to make a long story short, I believe you already know the situation here. Her name is Akeno, and she has the blood of a fallen angel and a human. She is exactly what those practitioners are looking for."
Pulling Akeno in front of him, Tian Luo said.
Nodding, Rias did not deny it. Although Tianluo's identity surprised her, she had already investigated Akeno's affairs a long time ago.
"Ms. Rias, I have a request, and I hope you can agree to it."
Tian Luo suddenly bent down, and his action surprised everyone.
"Your Highness Tianluo, please speak."
Rias said after coming back to her senses.
No one knew what Tianluo was going to do all of a sudden. Under the gaze of Rias, Akeno, and the middle-aged man, Tianluo finally made his request:
"Ms. Rias, I want you to take Akeno away!"
