Chapter 451: He comes for her



Chapter 451: He comes for her

Senja was waving Xiao Tianyao goodbye from his own horse. She knew very well, which one his horse, thus she didn't have problem when she picked it up and by doing so she could prevent him from following her, in the other hand she could run away faster than him.

Her plan executed well. She grinned to herself and mentally punching the air in triumphant gesture.

Actually, she was touch and ecstatic to see Xiao Tianyao was looking for her by himself, surprised because he found her very fast, it only took a day to find her. That was incredibly, Senja wonder how he could do that?

And when Xiao Tianyao apologized and asked her to return with him, she almost gave in, but a little annoyance that still remained in her heart, told her to not easily accept him back.

After all he had done, he have to show much harder effort to gain her trust back.

If she forgave him easily, he wouldn't take her action seriously next time and there was a chance he would do it again without thinking about it twice, because Senja gave in very easy and she didn't want that.

She wanted Xiao Tianyao understand his mistake and she could walk away if he didn't treat her right. He needed to know that she had her bottom line too.

Senja rode the horse slower, she was in empty road and it was already night time. Either she needed to find another village nearby or set a camp here. She dismissed the last option, since she didn't want to sleep in the open area.

The last time was when they were in the Mountain Sui Sword Sect, with Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao, but to do it alone it was another thing. It was creepy to camp outside by herself.

But, Senja wasn't decided yet about what she wanted to do when she heard another horse neighing, she thought it was a passerby like her, out of curiousity she turned her head and looked at the familiar figure that she would recognize everywhere.

Damn!

"Stop following me!" Senja cried out loud when Xiao Tianyao chased after her. She shouldn't have gone slower!

Now it was only a matter of time before Xiao Tianyao caught up with her. Senja was very upset with this.

"Go away!" Senja shouted at him beside her, but the devil only smirked and whistled.

At first Senja didn't understand why he was whistling, but then his horse stopped running all at once, Senja almost fell from her saddle because of the momentum due to sudden stop.

Her horse, or Xiao Tianyao horse was neighing, refused to move.

Upset. She released the rein and got off.

Xiao Tianyao was more than happy to see Senja's angry side, it was much easier to deal with.

Senja was stomping her feet while walking to the other direction aimlessly. She wanted to knock herself out for being so stupid for failed to calculate that part.

But, who would have thought that his horse actually would react to his whistle?

Senja turned around and saw Xiao Tianyao was following her three steps away, pulled his horse by its rein.

She raised her hand and pointed at the horse. "Are you a horse or a dog!?" She snapped at the horse agitatedly.

Xiao Tianyao needed to hold back his laughter and replaced it by clearing his throat. She was so adorable

"Don't you dare to laugh at me!" This time Senja glared at Xiao Tianyao.

"I am not!" He raised his hands with his palms facing her, in surrender gestured. The obvious lied.

Senja huffed and puffed for the rest of the road, still annoyed by Xiao Tianyao and his horse.

After thirty minutes walked without talking with each other, Senja finally stopped and let Xiao Tianyao approached her.

"What happened?" He asked softly with concerned.

"Where is the next village?" Senja sulked, her feet started to feel numb, but she couldn't see the light as far as her eyes could see.

"The next village is one hours more by riding horse." Xiao Tianyao contemplated and examine their surrounding first before gave her the answer.

"One hour more by riding horse?" Senja gapped while her eyes bulging with surprise.

If it needed one hour by riding horse than how long it needed by walking?

"Yes, do you want to continue walking?" Xiao Tianyao asked generously or, in Senja ears it sounded as if he was teasing him.

Senja gave him another glared for tonight before she said in defeated tone. "I am tired"

"Alright" Xiao Tianyao pulled his horse closer and helped Senja sat on the saddle before he sat behind her.

"Where is the other horse that came with you?" Senja peeked through his shoulder, but didn't see it.

"I let him go." Xiao Tianyao said in a matter of fact tone.

"Why?" It would be nice if they could ride separate horse since Senja still held up her cranky act.

"So, I can be with you."

Senja couldn't help, but blushed. She needed to bite down her lips to stop herself from grinning foolishly. Fortunately Xiao Tianyao couldn't see her.

"I am not yet forgive you." Senja blurted out.

"I thought you have forgiven me when we are in the alley before." He reminded Senja.

Senja rolled her eyes. "Well, I am still upset with you."

"Alright." Xiao Tianyao said softly as he secured Senja's body between his arms while he made the horse running faster.

A happy smile graced his lips to have his woman in his arms again.

.....

Xiao Tianyao and Senja arrived at the inn in the next village less than an hour later.

Like usual, Xiao Tianyao would only reserved one room and Senja too tired to argue with him, she wouldn't win it after all, she wouldn't waste time for it.

Once she arrived at their room, Senja directly slumped her body on the bed, took her side and curled her body inside a blanket. She didn't bother about Xiao Tianyao anymore as she drifted into sleep.

Xiao Tianyao smiled at the sleeping Senja as his heart calm down finally.

He was so restlessly ever since Senja disappeared. Walking to Senja's side he reached out his hand and remove her turban carfully, so her beautiful purple hair cascading down her face, she just let out a small groaned before fell into deep sleep again.

Brushed away the hair from her face, Xiao Tianyao bent down and kissed her forehead. "Forgive me please" He whispered to his ear before he circled the bed and slept on his side.

Didn't want to upset Senja more, it sufficed him to look her back.

.....

Senja stirred awake from her sleep and found herself feeling so restless without knowing what she felt that way.

Something triggered her and it wasn't something nice.

She felt angry for the reason that she didn't know.

Right in the middle of her clouded thought, she heard something

It was a voice, but she couldn't figure out whose voice it was and couldn't discern what it was saying. However, she felt it deep inside her heart.

That voice was calling for her. That voice wanted her to find them.

Looking at her left side, she saw Xiao Tianyao was still sleeping. She directed her eyes at the window and saw the moon was still up there.

It was still night.

Senja was about to ignore that voice when it grew louder and louder made Senja bolted sat up straight.

Xiao Tianyao seemed couldn't hear the voice, despite it was being noisy and loud, he was still asleep peacefully.

Finally, decided that Senja couldn't ignore the voice any more, she scrambled out of her bed and followed that voice out of Xiao Tianyao and her room.

She unlocked the door carefully and as quiet as possible, peering through her shoulder a few times to make sure Xiao Tianyao was still sleeping.

Senja followed the voice down the empty hallway to the balcony at the other side of the inn.

And the voice stopped there.

Senja turned her head left and right to find the voice that guide her there, but couldn't see anyone. She frowned.

But, if she thought about it again, that voice wasn't say anything particular she even couldn't figure out what it was trying to say.

Senja just felt it in her guts that the voice was calling her and she had an urge to oblige its demand.

After she was sure no one was there, Senja glimpsed at the sleeping village in front of her, it was a nice view to see, deciding that she wanted to enjoy it a little bit longer, Senja stay for a while.

After ten minutes enjoying the view and felt the night breeze brushed her cheeks gently, she was about to left when she turned around and saw Modama was standing behind her.
