Chapter 444: Interruption
While Noah and Xin Yan moved to start their spontaneous date in the beautiful city, someone was watching them with ill intentions.
It was the same person who had been following them from Primal Dawn City, his identity remaining a mystery because of the dark cloak he had donned.
"Haha! To think you would come here of all places! Don’t blame me for whatever happens to you now," his voice croaked with dark obsession before the shadows in the alley shifted and returned to normal.
The man reappeared before a beautiful inn in the city. No one paid attention to his conspicuous outfit, as if he was not even visible to them.
The man walked inside the inn and made his way upstairs. He stopped after arriving in front of one of the doors.
*Knock*
After knocking, he walked inside, closing the door behind him.
...
"Why did you give the girls four hours? The sun will be setting in three hours, and we will have to travel at night," Xin Yan asked curiously as they moved through the city.
"There is a reason this city is so popular and is also called Luminous Dusk City," Noah responded with a smile, interlocking his fingers with hers. "Do you see those two mountains in the distance?"
Xin Yan turned her head in the direction of the two huge mountains that were still visible from where she stood.
"The sun sets between those mountains, and when the perfect time comes, the sun rays reflect from the crystal-like surface of those mountains and fall on this city, illuminating it. I don’t know how it looks, though." Hearing Noah’s explanation, Xin Yan found herself lost in the expectation for the sunset to come.
"How do you know about the rest?" Xin Yan asked curiously. Noah brought out a piece of paper from his ring and passed it to her.
Xin Yan took the paper and unfolded it before chuckling lightly. The paper was filled with details of the city, not just this one but other cities as well.
Noah stepped on the water and started floating on the lake. Xin Yan followed after him and did the same.
Before anyone could notice them, Noah placed a seal on them which made it so that no one would notice them.
As they took a step forward, ripples were sent all across the lake. People were puzzled where the ripples came from in the calm lake, but they did not pay much attention to it.
Soon the ripples stopped as the two arrived at the middle of the lake.
"It’s beautiful," Xin Yan commented, taking in the beauty of the area. The calm lake, the beautiful flowers at the edge of the lake, the well-trimmed trees, and the bushes—all complemented each other, forming a beautiful scene.
Taking a deep breath, they could smell the fresh scent of the flowers from all across the lake.
"Indeed it is." Xin Yan leaned back in Noah’s arms to enjoy his warmth while enjoying the scene.
They stayed in that spot for a while before returning to the surface and continuing their date.
"Do you want to go shopping?" Standing in the middle of the crowded city market, Noah asked with some curiosity. Xin Yan hadn’t bought a single thing since they arrived in this city.
Xin Yan shook her head as she noticed something from the corner of her eye and froze.
Noah followed her sight and looked over his shoulder; there stood a man covered in black robes.
Feeling the familiar aura from the person, Noah immediately knew that this was the person who had been following him.
Even though the man was hiding his presence with something, Noah was still able to sense it with his dragon bloodline.
"You are finally ready to show yourself?" Carefully looking at the man, Noah asked calmly.
