Book 8: Chapter 87: Shaking Off
Half an hour later, Kelly and Qin Lun met at the entrance of the Golden Crown Cup.
“You look pretty well?” Kelly looked the young man up and down and gave a bright grin.
Qin Lun watched Kelly’s face seriously. It wasn’t that he’d never seen her real features. In the Toril World, without Elf Bloodline, she always appeared in her true form. But before, not planning to join Lost, he hadn’t paid attention to this powerful woman. Only now was he truly noticing her.
Kelly was very beautiful, oval-faced with willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a petite nose and mouth. Perhaps because she practiced martial arts, her style was neat and practical. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, she wore loose Martial Artist robes, and wooden clogs on her feet, leaving a sunny, straightforward, heroic impression. Her companions, including Qin Lun, always found it hard to see her purely as a woman. This wasn’t about her straightforward personality, but the unique personal charm of the Female Martial Artist herself.
In the Toril World, Kelly had basically never interfered with Robin’s command, but the final decisions on major tasks for the two large teams were always made by her. Concerning this point, not only Lost Team’s Apostles, but even Stark and others had seemed to have no objections.
In Ironstar Fortress, in the Valley of the Undead, every time the team faced danger, the Female Martial Artist would stand tall like a mountain before everyone, shielding the entire group behind her.
Sometimes, Qin Lun had to admit, even if he were a little stronger, even if he used every trick to fight for leadership of the two big teams, with Kelly there, he couldn’t succeed.
Realizing this, Qin Lun couldn’t help feeling more curious about Kelly. What supported this woman, giving her the courage and willpower many men lacked, allowing her to face all hardships and formidable enemies with utter fearlessness?
“What? What’s wrong?” Kelly was confused by Qin Lun’s stare. She touched her chin nervously, frowning slightly. “I wiped my mouth after eating!”
