A gentle breeze blew past, stirring up waves of pine trees. Sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and shadows intersected. The birds chirped in the surroundings, making one feel relaxed and happy. Surrounded by this beautiful scenery was an exquisite hut. Xia Feng stood in front of the house, drawing and retracting his sword. Sitting next to him, Cecilia looked at him quietly, enjoying this rare peace and beauty.
A few days ago, he had killed ten people in a row and put the people from the Titan's Hand in danger. It was unknown how many of those people would make it back alive. However, they were also courting death. They had brought Celica so far away from the town. It was obvious that they had no intention of leaving her a way out from the beginning. Now, he was trapped in his own cocoon. It was exactly the same as the saying-Heaven's sins could be survived, but one's own sins could not be survived.
Although those people deserved to die, Xia Feng was still a sane person. It was his first time killing someone. Although he didn't have a strong feeling at the time, it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable when he thought about it later. In addition, he had yet to recover from the trauma of the strategy team's casualties, so he was not in the mood to fight. He decided to put aside the matter of Cecilia and the others leveling up and returned to the Forest House on the 22nd floor to relax for a while.
The Forest House was located in the southern conifer forest on the twenty-second floor, near the lake on the outskirts of Kola Road. The surrounding scenery was beautiful and pleasant, and it was relatively safe. After Xia Feng returned from the frontlines, he bought this place and made it his home in Aingrunt. After learning of this news, Kirito was depressed for a long time. He had long since set his eyes on the Forest House, but he had never been able to gather the money, and Natsuya had gotten it first.
The Forest House was not cheap. Thanks to this, Xiafeng had been living on a tight budget for some time. If he had not farmed Coll while bringing Cecilia and the others to level up, he would not have been able to stay at home and recuperate.
Xia Feng had an indifferent personality and did not have any hobbies. Since he had nothing to do at home, he practiced swordsmanship every day. Moreover, when he was dealing with the Fire Spirit King, he felt a surge of power from his body. He was very familiar with this power. It was the power in his body in the real world. He just didn't expect to feel this power in the game.
"Could it be that this power doesn't only exist in my body, but also fused with my consciousness? In any case, if he could use this power in the game, it would be very helpful to him.”
Therefore, Xia Feng tried to stimulate that power again while practicing his sword every day.
Silika wasn't the type of person who was very active in battle. If Xiafeng didn't come to help her, she wouldn't go to level up either. Instead, she would come to Xiafeng's house every day to accompany him. Every morning was the same as today. Xiafeng practiced his swordsmanship in front of the house while Celica sat by the side and watched.
By the way, Celica was sitting on the ground. Her clothes wouldn't get dirty in Ain Grandley anyway, so she didn't need to wash them.
The moment she was alone with Xiafeng was the sweetest moment of her life. Just looking at him quietly made her feel very happy. Hence, she looked at him even more seriously and forcefully, as if she wanted to engrave every outline of him in her heart.
Suddenly, Celica felt a little afraid. The person she loved was so close to her, and her heart was filled with him. She did not know if he had her in his heart.
That's right, what she was worried about was whether she was in his heart or not. She was not like how she was with Xiafeng, where her heart was filled with him. Silika knew that Xia Feng's lover was Asuna.
Perhaps he should do something.
"Brother Xiafeng, this isn't the real world. Is there any use in practicing your sword every day?”Celika tilted her head and asked. She was too embarrassed to ask Xia Feng if he loved her. She was afraid that he would only treat her as a sister, so she could only find some words to say.
"It's useful. It can increase your proficiency.”Xia Feng replied.
When a person was doing something seriously, it was easy to get angry if someone suddenly interrupted them. However, Xia Feng's tone was not impatient at all. Although he was practicing his sword, he was indeed answering Celica's question seriously.
People who were in love were always sensitive to these things. When Celica thought of this, she felt a little happy.
However, although love was beautiful, if there was only one party, the ending might not be good.
Celica's happiness didn't last long because someone came.
"Xia Feng!" A voice filled with concern and anxiety sounded. When Xia Feng heard this voice, he immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a beautiful figure pouncing towards him.
Asuna was here.
Xia Feng hurriedly threw away his sword and opened his arms to embrace her. Asuna also hugged him tightly, which made Xiafeng feel a little strange.
"That's great!" Asuna's voice came from his arms, and it sounded like she was crying. Xia Feng immediately became anxious.
"What's wrong, Asuna? Did someone bully you?”Xia Feng asked anxiously, his tone full of concern and love.
"It's great that you're fine." Asuna was still in his arms and didn't look up. "When I heard that you were assassinated, I was really frightened. I felt like the sky was about to collapse. I was afraid that something had happened to you.”
Xiafeng was relieved when he heard that Asuna was not bullied and began to comfort her.
"It's fine. It's not like you don't know my strength. How can a few small characters be my match?”Xia Feng pretended to be relaxed as he laughed.
Asuna suddenly raised her head and pretended to be angry."Don't be careless. What if something happens?”
Xia Feng didn't reply and just looked at her.
Asuna still didn't know that when she raised her head in Xiafeng's arms, Xiafeng lowered his head and faced her face. Their faces were so close, and her beautiful expression was so charming. Xiafeng was completely mesmerized by his lover's beauty.
"As long as you lower your head, you can kiss her.”This was the only thought in Xia Feng's mind.
Asuna's face turned red from Xia Feng's passionate gaze. However, under this beautiful scenery, the two of them were face to face, body to body, and heart to heart. Asuna seemed to feel that this was a good time to do something. She closed her eyes. Her face was red and hot, but she could only feel the heat of her lover's body.
Xia Feng lowered his head and kissed her gently. Asuna's body trembled as if she was a little nervous, but she still catered to her lover. Their lips and teeth met, exchanging not only each other's breath but also each other's thoughts.
Celica watched this scene from the side. Although she knew that this day would come, she could not help but feel a tearing pain in her heart. Tears circled in her eyes, but she held them back. Ever since the day she ran away in anger and was saved by Xia Feng, she had understood her feelings. She knew that she had truly fallen in love with this man. This feeling could not be avoided, could not be given up, and could not be forgotten. Therefore, she could only face the difficulties head-on.
"Even if you win this round, I won't let you have Brother Xia Feng.”" I'm going to kill you," Celica said to herself in her heart, cheering herself on. Then, she stared at Asuna with eyes full of fighting spirit.
Xia Feng and Asuna kissed for an unknown period of time. He felt his body burning and his mind went blank. It was not until they felt that they were about to lose their breath that they parted their lips.
Xiafeng looked at Asuna, who became even more shy, her face turning red to her ears. Asuna avoided Xia Feng's gaze and turned her head to the side. Then, she realized that Celika was looking at her with a burning gaze.
"Ah!" The scream echoed through the entire forest, startling countless birds. Countless small animals that were loving each other were scared away by this scream. Xiafeng and Silika were also shocked. Asuna pushed Xia Feng away.
"Why…why is Silika here? You…I…She…" Asuna was so embarrassed that her brain crashed, and her words were completely incoherent.
Natsuya looked at Asuna and then at Silika. He suddenly remembered what Kirito had told him after he rescued Silika.
"Do you like Cecilia? What about Asuna?"
Xiafeng suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had indeed only treated Celica as a younger sister. After all, she was too young. She was only twelve years old now, and there were still a few months before she turned thirteen. However, when she peeked at him from time to time, everyone could tell that something was wrong with the emotions in her eyes…except for Asuna, who only had her lover in her eyes.
Of course, it was also possible that Asuna had already seen through it, but she didn't say it out of trust in Xiafeng. Just like how anyone could see Celika's feelings for Xiafeng, Asuna could also see that Xiafeng only treated this little loli as his sister.
"Well, forget it. Anyway, Celica is still young. What does she know about feelings? She would naturally forget about it when she grew up.”Xia Feng thought of this and decided to ignore this problem for the time being.
