Chapter 305: The Reunion (1)
She had never felt a cool breeze before, but she did meet a hot breeze one day. The hot wind blew from behind.
“Hey. I’ve heard your name a lot. You’re the Gray Spider, right? That’s an awfully long name. I’ll just call you Gray. How is it? Doesn’t it sound friendly? But why is it so stuffy here? Are there no windows? Where’s the ventilation? Do people really live here?”
The Gray Spider sighed and turned around. The man was red and fiery. Though it was fall and the leaves were turning red, his hair and eyes looked more like the sun than autumn leaves. The corners of his mouth were always slightly curled up, revealing his shiny, white teeth.
Everything about him glowed like summer. It was as if he had been born in the wrong season. The word “sword” was scribbled on his sleeveless martial arts uniform. When the spider used magic to see behind him, she saw the word “emperor” written on the back.
“Fuck, you’re a real wacko,” she grumbled.
The man, who was as hot as summer, clearly went mental from his own scorching heat. Even his sweat felt hot. It wasn’t the kind of smelly sweat that stuck to the skin for a long time, but the kind that had poured down during intense exercise.
His blood vessels and meridians seemed to constantly flow with aura, leaving no room for waste to accumulate. This made his sweat as clean as a newborn’s. The droplets of perspiration on his skin were clearer than a baby’s, like dewdrops on a sun-ripened apple.
The only thing that she could sense from his sweat was the heat that reminded her of the scorching wind. His well-defined muscles glistened in the sunlight from the dewdrops. If the sun had a face, it would probably be smiling and shining brightly and unabashedly. Everything about him denied death.
The Sword Emperor smirked. “Why? Are you jealous?”
“I won’t ask how you easily managed to visit the top floor of the headquarters and enter the secret laboratory that only I can access. First, it would be a waste of my time. Second, it would only give you the chance to brag.”
The Sword Emperor tousled her hair. “My Gray is such a smart girl.”
“And I won’t fight either. Why? Because if we fight here, my precious research tools will fly everywhere. Sword Emperor, I’m trying my best to maintain my composure, so for the sake of your life and my peace of mind, please stop provoking me. Otherwise, I’ll kill you, you motherfucker.”
