41 Chapter 41- Passive Aggressive
Splash!
Roar!
The sound of water splashing and a beast roaring loudly could be heard.
At this moment, Sol was waist-deep inside a semi-large pound playing with Little Nheer who had woken up.
Sol decided to skip training today to relax. And his idea of relaxing was to go for a swim.
He also wanted to clean the blood off Little Nheer as well.
Though, the relaxing session quickly turned chaotic as Little Nheer would splash around in the water with his huge figure.
One thing lead to the other and Little Nheer was now being thrown further into the lake by Sol with a loud splash.
Despite Little Nheer’s resistance to being thrown as he swung his paws at Sol, he seemed to enjoy it as he would release a loud playful roar while rushing forward once more.
However, at the edge of the lake were the three youths.
Their clothes were ruffled while their faces black and blue, but Sol had healed their most severe injuries after his beatings.
In the eyes of these three, they didn’t see a scene of a little boy happily playing with a friendly beast.
What they instead saw was a boy on the verge of being mauled by a ferocious beast many times his size.
The beast’s intimidating roars of anger as it attacked the boy sent chills down their spines.
But what was more shocking was that the little boy would easily evade the beast’s attacks, and picked it up before throwing it several meters away.
“Just who is this brat?”
The loudmouth youth from before whispered when he witness this frightening scene.
The other two remain silent as they had no answer.
Roar!
Little Nheer released a roar before charging at Sol once again.
“Haha! Come!”
Sol yell excitedly as he braced for Little Nheer’s attack.
With a pounce, Little Nheer leaped towards Sol.
After easily sidestepped his paw, Sol went under Little Nheer; catching him.
“Hup!”
Sol raise Little Nheer above his head and was about to throw him once more, but a mischievous gleam appear in the beast’s eyes before his body suddenly began expanding to three times his original.
“Ah!”
Caught off-guard by the sudden added weight, Sol cried out as Little Nheer fell onto him with a loud splash.
Roar!
Little Nheer released a roar that seemed to be his way of laughing at Sol.
However, not long after, his body began raising up.
“Ah, you damn thing!”
Sol yelled half angrily.
He then gripped Little Nheer and the veins on his arms bulged as he threw him as far as he could, even adding a spin.
Little Nheer was sent flying high into the air.
The three youths seeing that were completely dumbfounded, and they couldn’t help but widen their eyes in shock.
Sol made a show of looking into the distance by putting his hand to his face.
Little Nheer was seen crashing into the lake a few hundred meters away.
Sol smiled and then brush his hand off before deciding to leave the lake.
As he walked towards the three youths, the girl in the group immediately blushed and turned her head away.
As it turns out, Sol was completely naked.
Even though Sol was several years younger than her, she couldn’t deny he was more attractive than the youths she saw from prestigious Clans from afar.
So she was tempted to take glances at him previously, but this situation was too much for her.
Not to mention he had a great physique for his age, the girl’s eyes couldn’t help but become familiar with the ground.
However, upon seeing Sol’s appearance, the loudmouth youth blurted.
“Brat, don’t you have any shame?! Put that thing away, I don’t need to see it.”
Sol stopped squeezing his hair dry when he heard that.
Then while holding his hips he glared at the youth.
“What? Don’t you have one as well? Or maybe you’re just jealous?”
Sol rocked his hips as he said that.
“You-!!”
The boy’s face become slightly red when heard Sol.
However, before he could say anything, the other boy in the middle elbowed him to stay quiet.
Then turning to Sol, he said.
“Little brother, at least wear some clothes for Junior sister Seon’s sake.”
Sol glanced towards the girl name Seon to see that her face was red like a tomato.
Sol was still a kid at heart, so situations like these weren’t embarrassing for him… yet.
Though he still understood it might not be appropriate for others.
However, there was a problem…
With a frown Sol said.
“Give me some clothes, you ruined the only good ones I had.”
Sol pointed to the scraps of rags that were off to the side.
The boy, who was the leader of the group, turned to look at the other boy he just elbowed.
Seeing his senior brother’s look, the loudmouth youth grumbled before he went to give Sol his clothes.
Sol had initially thought he was just going take off the ones he had on, but instead, the youth flipped over his palm and additional clothes appeared.
Eyes lighting up, Sol immediately looked towards the small bag on the youth’s waist.
‘Is that a storage item I read about?’
“Here…”
Before Sol’s thoughts could go any further, the boy hand over the clothes that appeared.
“These are too big.”
Sol said after he held them up.
“Junior brother Song-Oh is the smallest of the both of us. So my clothes would only be bigger.”
Sol hearing this decided to just fold the sleeves.
After muttering a reluctant thanks, Sol form some hand signs and created a simple rune below his feet.
This rune immediately produced a gale of wind that blew off the droplets of water on him.
Afterward, he went to wear the clothes, but midway the loudmouth youth suddenly yelled.
unprovoked.”
20:29
“Sorry, we didn’t know that beast belong to someone. We were just exploring the Demonic Forest to “Ah! I knew it! So you were from the Barbarians Tribes!”
Sol had his head buzzed, and he couldn’t help but glare at the youth.
He swore that he was doing it on purpose, there’s no way someone naturally talked so loudly.
Sol quickly drew on his clothes, not correcting the youth’s assumption
“But you also reveal that you had Tier 3 Innate Dharma. Are you cultivating your Fleshly Body and Aether at the same time?”
Sol heard the skepticism in the girl’s voice as she asked that.
“What’s so wrong about that?”
Sol said with a frown.
The girl seeing his frown waved her hands and said.
“Ah, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that not many people would be willing to waste time cultivating both.”
“Huh? Are you trying to say I’m wasting my time?”
Sol’s frown deepen as he looked at this girl.
“I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.”
The girl began to get more nervous when she saw Sol’s increasingly annoyed expression.
Seeing how Sol was treating his companion, the boy called Song-Oh glared at Sol and said. ．
“What’s your problem? It’s obvious Sister Seon was trying to say that it’s rare for someone to cultivate one’s Fleshly Body and Aether at the same time. But you’ve been acting like a brat since way back.”
Sol swept a glance at the youth.
“You want to know what my problem is? It’s that you attacked my, and Little Zeel’s friend unprovoked.”
“Sorry, we didn’t know that beast belong to someone. We were just exploring the Demonic Forest to hunt for Spirit Beast materials to bring back to our Sect. But since we apologized, and you even beat us up, can’t you just let this matter go? We’ll even further compensate you if you came to our Sect.”
The boy, who was the leader tried to explain their situation. But Sol suddenly laughed angrily and said.
“Ha! You say that like it’s nothing, you people don’t even have the right to enter this forest in the first place!”
The boy frowned at Sol’s words and then retorted.
“I know the Barbarian Tribes are closer to the Demonic Forest than us, but we also have the right to enter it as much you all do!”
Sol’s face immediately scrunched up, realizing this boy misunderstood him. But he wasn’t going to correct him.
It was true that Sol had been passive-aggressive towards these three.
After all, they were outsiders.
