Chapter 294  There's no nighttime in this place

After a minute, the hand around Yue's eyes lowered and she finally opened her eyes to see the vast expense of grass in front of her. She noticed with a choke, the two men were gone. They were not here anymore. Her eyes frantically wandered off toward Sia and relief flooded in her chest.

'Ah..she is fine...?'

Amidst her jumbled emotions, she instinctively reached out to grab the hand that closed her eyes a while ago.

"..!"

A far contrast to her searing temperature, the hand was cold, almost freezing but she did not want to let go.

Kyle let out a small sigh. He bent down and hesitantly reached out to slowly place his palm on her back. He wanted to say that the people who tried to harm her were dead, but in the end, he could only utter a few words.

"It's fine now."

Yue's grip on his hand tightened. She raised her head to retract the tears threatening to spill from her eyes before repeating his words in a barely audible voice.

"It's fine."

After a minute, she gathered her emotions and lifted her head to finally look at the person silently sitting beside her.

Just as she remembered, his clear eyes were glistening in a natural green color as they gazed at her. She blinked, dazed at the tremendous amount of worry present in those eyes. The hand behind her was still patting her back slowly in silent comfort.

After a minute, she gathered her emotions and lifted her head to finally look at the person silently sitting beside her.

Just as she remembered, his clear eyes were glistening in a natural green color as they gazed at her. She blinked, dazed at the tremendous amount of worry present in those eyes. The hand behind her was still patting her back slowly in silent comfort.

"I am alright."

The moment her words fell, Kyle's moving hand behind her back stopped, and the cold comforting sensation vanished. Yue almost wished for the sensation to linger a little longer, but it did not.

Kyle's eyes wandered around her before he opened his mouth to speak but closed it again awkwardly. After a few seconds, he reached out to his one and only companion.

'Hey, Bia? Can you tell me how I should draw back my hand without surprising the person who is grabbing it very tightly?'

-'Why the hell are you suddenly spouting nonsense? I am in the middle of a life and death battle! If you can't help me at least shut your mouth!'

'But.. this is important!'

After a few loud swearing words, Bia finally admitted defeat and answered him blankly.

-'If someone's strong is grabbing you, just use instant teleportation to run away. What's so hard about it?'

Speechless, Kyle wanted to speak again, but then, as if noticing his behavior, Yue released his hand.

"Sorry ...and thank you."

The tip of her ears turned red when the weight of her actions dawned on her. She stood up and immediately left his side to check on Sia.

Kyle stared at her back for a second before activating his newly acquired skill. After sensing a few distant scents, he looked at the girls with a serious expression.

"I don't know what it is, but something strong is coming this way. Let's leave."

The girls instantly nodded and the trio left to hide behind the boulders where Kyle was resting a while ago.

After they settled down, Sia gazed at Kyle with a wary yet grateful expression.

"Thank you for saving my life. My name is Sia."

She could not help but think deeply when she saw the glistening silver hair atop the boy's head.

'Why do I feel like I have seen him somewhere?'

Her thoughts were confirmed in the next second when Kyle gave her a nod.

"It's okay and.. my name is Kyle."

Sia snapped her head toward Yue to confirm her suspicions, and the moment she got a nod from Yue, her eyes widened with disbelief. The tail behind her back perked up with curiosity and in the next second, she neared Kyle while slowly batting her lashes.

"The same Kyle who made a commotion in front of the realm gate?"

Kyle's eyes trailed around her tail for a second before he answered with a small nod.

Sia's eyes sparkled with awe. She couldn't believe she found the person who was rumored to be the strongest among those who entered the realm. Suddenly, she remembered the mesmerizing fire phoenix, Kyle's bonded beast that shocked everyone including her, and her eyes roamed around him to get a glimpse of the legendary beast.

Still, even after a few seconds, she was not able to locate the phoenix. Almost thinking that maybe, Kyle sent it somewhere, Sia opened her mouth to confirm. However, before she could utter a single word, Yue dragged her back because the distance between her and Kyle was getting narrow with each passing second.

Sia turned her eyes toward Yue and blinked.

"What happened Yue?"

Yue immediately pointed at her clothes.

"There's a lake behind us let's clean ourselves. Look, the clothes we are wearing are almost ruined."

"Ah.. you are right.."

In the next second, the girls left him alone. Kyle watched them walk away, then quietly found a spot behind one of the boulders to get some much-needed sleep.

The sun was still shining brightly above in the sky when he was jolted awake by a fleeting touch on his shoulder. The wariness in Kyle's eyes instantly dissipated when he saw the culprit who woke him up. It was Yue. She was startled due to his sudden movement.

Kyle let out a small yawn and noticed, from the corner of his eyes, that her skin had a healthy glow. Her honey-colored hair, once tousled from the fight, was now clean and flowing down her shoulders smoothly.

'Did she take a bath?'

He looked around before he questioned her seriously.

"What happened?"

"I didn't want to wake you up, but you've been sleeping for five hours. So..."

She almost blurted out that she was worried because he did not open his eyes even when Sia was practically singing beside him. However, she changed her words in the middle.

"Don't you want to eat something?"

Kyle blinked at her words, musing slowly.

"What, I slept for five hours? Already?"

He looked up at the sky with narrowed eyes, catching his trail of thoughts. Yue spoke almost instantly.

"I noticed it too, because I have been running around for a while. I think there's no nighttime in this place."
