Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 179

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Feeling uncomfortable under Wandering Cloud's gaze, Into The Sunset nudged him lightly.

As her hand came into contact with Wandering Cloud, he grabbed ahold of her wrist. He was not as gentle as Into The Sunset and grabbed her with force. Feeling the pain, Into The Sunset creased her eyebrows and cried out, "What are you doing? You're hurting me! Let go!"

Wandering Cloud tightened his grip the more she struggled, and his expression darkened with each passing second. He stared sharply at Into The Sunset, having no intention of loosening his grip. It was as if he would eat her alive.

Into The Sunset became even more afraid after witnessing Wandering Cloud's behavior, and her struggling intensified. Right at that moment, she was terrified of the man in front of her, "Let go of me! Let go of me!" she raised her voice, almost breaking into tears.

At this moment, Wandering Cloud seemed to realize what he was doing. The scary expression on his face vanished, and he released his grip on Into the Sunset. He then spoke up calmly, "You're afraid of Night?"

Into The Sunset pulled her hand back and stole a glance at Wandering Cloud. It was as if the man who she was so afraid of moments ago was just an illusion. She massaged her hand while casting a glare at Wandering Cloud and replied after a short pause, "What is there to be afraid of?"

"Then why are you so surprised?"

Into The Sunset let out a sigh, "Even if I'm not afraid of him, he's my fiance. We've even met our respective family members. I'm not really afraid of him if he finds out about our relationship, but my family would definitely create a huge commotion."

Wandering Cloud remained silent for a long moment, "You're right, you and Night are a legitimate couple. We're just having an illicit fling?"

Knowing that Wandering Cloud was angry, Into The Sunset leaned in closer to him and smiled. "Aiya, don't be angry, aren't I by your side right now? Aren't I in front of you right now? Is there anything more important than this? Even though I'm Night's fiance, we rarely meet."

Wandering Cloud snorted, "That's because you're not living together. Won't you be seeing him every day if you're living with him?"

Into The Sunset narrowed her eyes as she smiled, "How can I live with him? My mother taught me that a good girl must not live with a man before her marriage."

"And what are you doing right now?"

"Aiya! Aren't I your little whore?" Into The Sunset smiled seductively. Her demeanor was entirely different from the dignified and composed persona that she displayed in her daily life.

Wandering Cloud smiled at her without saying a single word. His heart was filled with frustration. If I have what Night And Day has, I would be the one marrying Into The Sunset. When such thoughts surfaced, it would never disappear easily and would only become more and more engraved into one's mind. Such was the case for Wandering Cloud. The more he thought about it, the stronger his desire to take Night And Day down.

After lightly teasing each other for a while, Into The Sunset resumed their earlier conversation, "You mentioned that he has noticed something going on between us? Is that for real? Are you sure?"

"No, it's just a hunch." Wandering Cloud shook his head. He did not wish to keep anything secret from Into The Sunset. After all, they were in the same boat.

"Aiya, if it's just a hunch, don't make such irresponsible remarks. You scared the shit out of me." Into The Sunset let out a long breath of relief. She was truly alarmed by Wandering Cloud's earlier words.

"You said he's going to celebrate your birthday with you?" asked Wandering Cloud after a slight pause.

"Yup. And I told you that I declined. I want to be with you."

"Has he ever taken the initiative to ask you out during your previous birthdays?" Wandering Cloud's spider senses were still tingling. There was this weird feeling in his gut that he was unable to explain, and he asked that question to clear his suspicions.

"Nope. That man does not know what it takes to be romantic. When I asked to watch fireworks with him, he told me that it's dangerous at night. I wouldn't even dare to dream of him taking the initiative to celebrate my birthday with me, I just don't know what's going on in his brain this year," Into The Sunset snorted, "I will show him that it's too late for him now."

Wandering Cloud's expression darkened, he had finally confirmed his suspicions. He grabbed ahold of Into The Sunset and asked, "When did he invite you?"

"About a month or two ago..." Into The Sunset tilted her head, and let out a sigh, "I can't remember. I tend to forget the words of people that I'm not interested in."

"Think carefully. When did it happen?" Wandering Cloud was frustrated by Into The Sunset's behavior.

Despite her tendency to tease Wandering Cloud, Into The Sunset earnestly tried to recall after noticing his behavior. After a brief moment, she shouted in reply, "Ah! I remember now!"

"So, when was it?"

"Do you remember that time when we had a fight with Upwards Ho!? It happened 2 days after that incident."

Wandering Cloud froze. What happened that day was still deeply engraved in his memory. After a brief conversation with Gongzi You via private message, Night And Day called for a retreat. He was curious but afraid at the same time. When asked, Night And Day told him that Gongzi You agreed to give them a dungeon clearance video if he agreed to retreat.

At that time, Wandering Cloud accepted Night And Day's explanation. But right at this moment... He realized that Night And Day might have lied to him.
