A Year Later

A Year Later*

Time passed very quickly, it seemed like just a blink and a year had passed.

Many plants died and grew again, many insects died and were born. Many environmental changes occurred in just a short period of the year.

Over the years, Wang Feng and Jīliè had become closer to each other. Since Jīliè came, Wang Feng no longer had to live alone in his cold hut.

With Jīliè, he experienced things he did not experience when he was alone.

During his long stay with Jīliè, he noticed some changes in the cat, not merely physically, but mentally too. 

Thanks to Wang Feng's hard work, now, Jīliè can also help him to relieve boredom because he has now someone to fight to.

Oh! Life! Peaceful! Fun!

For the second time, he also experienced the joy of having a family. Even though he was not related to Jīliè, in the end, he still took care of him.

Jīlié brought a big difference in Wang Feng's life.

Over this past year, Wang Feng had continued his training, not only limited to swords, but also other weapons, such as; spear, small sword, and bow. And the ones not mentioned? A year was short, so to speak; that he was already very good at successfully learning to use those four different types of weapons.

Now, Wang Feng is 19 too!

.

Jīliè, on the other hand, did not know how much he had changed since he lived here.

Whenever Wang Feng — whom Jīliè still calls Young Master — plays music, paints paintings, engraves figures, exercises weapons, and even normal activities, it all has a big impact on his cultivation, good effect. Even as simple as breathing close to Wang Feng gave him good effect too.

Now, he was not just anyone, he was not a weak White Tiger or Liger, he was a Supreme Being, he has the cultivation level of 'Peak of fairy body transformation'. If he wanted, he could be a Demon Lord, but of course, he had no desire to those insignificant titles.

He was just a normal cat raised by Wang Feng.

Being raised by Wang Feng have more positive effects than being a Demon Lord.

The weather today was beautiful, the sun was bright, it giving light to every corner of the place, the air was fresh and every creature was calm. Birds, butterflies, and small insects playing in the air, chasing each other, singing, and flying happily.

While ~

Inside the hut, Wang Feng sat in the living room, holding Jīliè in his hand as he stroking its soft, beautiful feathers.

"It's been a while, but I still don't see anyone else coming to this place, at least once! " After saying that, a sadness formed on Wang Feng's lips.

This past year, this was Wang Feng's biggest problem, though, let's just say he wasn't alone anymore. But can Jīliè speak? Sure, but Wang Feng doesn't know, and even the cat doesn't want to let him know.

When Jīliè met Wang Feng, Wang Feng seemed did not like Beasts because of their bad behavior, so why would he (Jīliè) say that he was also a Beast to Wang Feng? Jīliè was scared too, Yah know?

.

Fortunately, last year Jīliè also continued to look for meats, so this was no longer one of Wang Feng's problems. If he wanted, he could just order Jīliè, then wait, later, already had!

Kaboom *

Kaboom *

Later while they were having fun, for some unknown reason Wang Feng suddenly felt nervous, he put Jīliè on the table and put his palm at his heart.

With a worried expression on his face, he looked in a certain direction and sighed, at the same time said, "Looks like something Evil was happening on the land in the right direction of the Forest! "

His voice was not loud but not weak either, it was as clear as the sun in the morning in Jīliè's ears, he looked where Wang Feng was looking while shaking his head.

'I have to do something! ' He said to himself.

With that in mind, he hopped down from the table, hurried out without being noticed by Wang Feng, and ran in the certain direction where Wang Feng was looking.

.

Sigh *

After a few minutes, the nervousness in Wang Feng's heart still lingering. He took a deep breath, and tried to remove all the bad feelings, but failed.

Having burden within his heart, he sat down again but saw Jīliè was gone.

'Where did that cat go?! ' Wang Feng asked himself worriedly.

'Maybe playing outside again!? ' This assumption wasn't that far. Jīliè loves to play outside especially when I was practicing techniques and weapons.

After thinking about it, he decided to let Jīliè play alone first.

(But Wang Feng did not know, Jīliè was missing during those times not because he was playing but because he was hiding in a corner, because even though Wang Feng's practice helping Jīliè, he could not watch it with his own eyes, so he just chose to hide and quietly meditate)

'Whatever! ' Wang Feng added, got up from his seat, and went to his private room.

Sleep first, just in case all the nervousness will disappear when I wake up.

After all, he doesn't even know what's the real deal of why he has the nervous feeling right now. It's better to let the time heal everything.
