Chapter 159 - Desire

When I finish the man in front of me, I pull him to the side and hide him behind a fallen table. After they're sucked dry, they're much lighter! Hah... that should be a disturbing thought Nova... I shake myself as I watch a white streak fly back and forth in the room.

To my surprise, it doesn't seem like anyone notices him! He flies back to me and says "Time for yummies Master!" I giggle and say "Good job, Bun. I'll give you extra yummies later!" I feel him shiver in excitement as a slowly stand up.  

Bai Lei blocks a powerful blow but he flies back, straight into Ren. Bai Lei slams his blade down into the wooden floor and uses it to come to a stop. He unleashes his power causing the pressure in the restaurant to grow as the table and chairs around him flies back. 

I feel it become harder to breathe as he brings the blade up, clashing with the other man's blade. The fact that he's able to stand against them as long as he does says something about his strength but I feel like he's holding back...

I quickly shake myself and immediately pull the dark power in the room to me. The man fighting Bai Lei freezes with his blade in the air before being stabbed in the chest. Bai Lei looks just as shocked as the man before turning to look for me.

I quickly suck them dry, wasting no more time in killing them. After killing the first guy, only four remain so it isn't hard at all but when I feel a hand grab my shoulder, I quickly grab the hand, digging my nails in to pierce the skin before quickly spinning around.  

Shock hits me as I look up to the man behind me. Guozhi's shock mirrors my own before slowly smiling and saying "Funny meeting you here bunny. You seem to be doing... well?" I blink in surprise before quickly releasing his hand and saying "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" 

He looks down at the small nail marks before lifting it to his mouth and licking it while giving me a knowing smirk. "It's fine bunny, I shouldn't have snuck up on you but what are you doing here? It isn't safe. Do you want to get kidnapped again?" He says quickly losing his smirk.

A strong arm wraps around my waist before I'm lifted and place behind a strong back. I look up to Bai Lei as he glares at Guozhi and says "What did I tell you? Stay away from her." Guozhi's smirk is back as he says "Bunny and I are just friends, isn't that right?" 

He looks to me before looking back to Bai Lei and saying "Plus, I was given to her as her new play toy back in the Under Realm before escaping to her world and then coming back here. So we became good friends."

Bai Lei tenses as I feel like smacking Guozhi. Why does he always say the worst possible thing? I try to step forward but Bai Lei won't let me so I sigh and ask "What are you doing here Guozhi?" He turns to me and smiles as he says "I was just enjoying a meal when these guys came in. I decided to stay low, hoping they wouldn't catch me again."

He covers his body as he says "Who knows, they may try to make me into another toy. I'm only okay with being your toy." He tops the whole thing off with a wink, setting Bai Lei off. I don't even try to stop Bai Lei at this point. He asked for it... 

I turn around to look around the restaurant and sigh when I see those who lost their lives before we got here. When the door opens, I turn and freeze. What is he doing here? Lei Wei's dark eyes land on me and freezes. Bai Lei shoves Guozhi against the wall as Guozhi laughs in joy, enjoying the fact he was able to piss him off and get under his skin.

Ren's solid back comes into view as he steps in front of me, effectively blocking me from Lei Wei. Lei Wei glares at the Shadow guard as he says "You really don't know your place." Bai Lei freezes with Guozhi up against the wall. 

Bai Lei and Guozhi both turn to look at Lei Wei with a frown. Bai Lei releases Guozhi and steps over to me saying "It's you who doesn't know your place. What are you doing here?" Guozhi straightens his shirt as he walks over to my other side.

Ren moves out of my way as Lei Wei walks in with his Shadow guard. Lei Wei's dark eyes look me over, making me frown before looking back to Bai Lei and saying "I saw you three leave, so I followed. Is that a problem?" 

Bai Lei's face hardens as he asks "Did you see?" I frown at Bai Lei before looking back to Lei Wei. Lei Wei smirks as he says "Of course. How long were you trying to hide this dear little brother? What would the other leaders think if they find out you're hiding this?" 

My frown deepens as Bai Lei's anger grows. He looks at Lei Wei and says "I have my reasons and none of them include you knowing about them. Mind your own damn business and go back to your shitty ass Realm. I don't need you or Heaven's thunder."  

Lei Wei chuckles and turns to look at me as he says "You see Nova? As soon as he no longer wants or needs you, he throws you away and gets rid of you. This is the side of him you haven't seen yet." I feel Bai Lei's anger roll off him in waves as he glares at his brother making me uncomfortable. 

Even though my darker energy is growing by leaps and bounds, my other power hasn't so his anger was making it hard to breathe. I pull on my dark energy and use it to protect me from the waves of anger. Bai Lei practically growls as he says "Leave while you still can."

A delicious smell hits me, making my knees weak. I slightly close my eyes as I take a deep breath and nearly purr. Is that coming from Bai Lei? I go to moan but quickly catch the noise in my throat but when I open my eyes, they were all looking at me. Shit...
