Chapter 174: Don't leave me alone
A young man could be seen carrying a woman in his arms while he was standing in front of the large cave. His gaze went towards the sky where those two moons were shining and sending chills all over the place. Seeing this, Yohan took a deep sigh and his gaze went towards the woman who was in his embrace.
"We are here, Natasha." Yohan looked towards Natasha as he said those words in a low voice, but he didn't get a reply from her as she had already fallen asleep in his embrace.
"Poor girl. She is tired as she couldn't get sleep for the last two days. I am sorry for putting you in this mess,'' Yohan thought to himself as he looked towards Natasha and took her inside the cave without bothering her.
And some time later, he was finally able to find the ending point of that cave. That cave was large and uninhabited. Those things were bothering Yohan, especially the fact that he wasn't able to find any living beings in this place, not even a single bug, and that was why he was on guard as he didn't want to end up in some kind of trouble.
"We are already here."
He heard a familiar voice and his gaze went towards Natasha.
"You are awake now. Yes, we are inside the cave and I didn't want to bother you. That's why I didn't try to wake you up the moment we arrived at the cave." Yohan smiled as he responded to her, and he released Natasha from his embrace.
Natasha didn't want to leave his embrace, but she wasn't able to say anything to him.
"You stay here. I will go outside and bring some dry leaves and wood to light the fire. That way you are going to stay warm. I will be back soon," Yohan said as he looked towards Natasha, but the moment he was about to go, she grabbed him from behind.
"Please don't go. I am afraid of being alone. This place is very creepy and I don't want to be alone. You were right, I am scared of being alone here," she said in a low voice. Hearing Natasha, Yohan halted his movement as he looked towards her and smiled.
"Don't worry. I am not going anywhere. At the entrance of this cave, I saw many small bushes and pieces of dry wood. I will be back in a few minutes, until then..." Yohan took out his cloak from his Dimensional Ring which his mother had given him and he covered the body of Natasha with that cloak.
Natasha was taken aback as she looked at the blue and beautiful cloak. That thing was looking very pretty and expensive.
Seeing those expressions and hesitation on her face, Yohan smiled.
"Don't worry about that, it's the only clothing I have right now. Make yourself comfortable, I will be back soon," Yohan said and he left Natasha's sight.
"This cloak smells like him. It is warm and very comfortable, just like him," Natasha said as she covered herself with that cloak and took a deep breath.
Meanwhile…
A woman could be seen looking towards two old men with a furious gaze. Seeing her gaze, both men exchanged glances with each other.
"Don't hide anything from me. Tell me everything about her. I want to know what is going on with Diya." Alena looked towards the old men as she said those words.
"Something is different about her. She has already reached the eighth level of the Body Strengthening realm in a few days. She got another breakthrough last night, probably in her sleep just like last time.
Poor girl, she didn't even know that her body is becoming more powerful as time passes, and the newly awakened power and the strength is the sole reason for her uneasiness, I guess." The old man Lin looked inside the room where Diya was resting and he shifted his gaze towards Alena, who was listening to him.
"What did you just say, father? What do you mean that she reached the eighth level of the Body Strengthening realm?" Hearing old Lin, Alena couldn't believe her ears. She asked again as she wanted to confirm this.
"Lin is right, Alena. Diya is a blessed child, and I don't know, but she is becoming powerful as time passes and that's the reason why she is feeling those things, because it's happening too fast. We wanted to keep this secret because it will only bring disaster to her. If anyone finds out about her existence, she is not going to live in peace, and we don't want that to happen here.
That's why we kept it from you, because you would be worried about her. I am sorry, my child," Leon said as he looked towards Alena.
Hearing those words, Alena was taken aback. Her expression became solemn as she heard those things from her father and the old man Lin.
"Did Yohan know about this?" she asked as she looked towards the old man Lin and Leon.
Both old men, Lin and Leon, looked at each other as they heard Alena. After taking a few moments, the old man Lin shook his head.
"He knows about her, but he knows nothing about the recent incident. During the night he left the clan, she got a breakthrough in the first level of the Body Strengthening realm," old Lin responded to Alena.
Hearing those words, Alena took a deep sigh and tightened her fist.
"Father, what else do you know about Diya's background? There is no way she can belong to a normal family. What is her real background?" Alena looked towards the old man Lin as she asked the question. Her expression was serious as she talked about Diya's background.
"Her uncle and aunt who sold her to the Nichole clan have already been murdered by some mysterious power along with the entire village where Diya was raised. No one knows anything about her mother and father. There are too many things that are unclear about her background," old Lin responded to Alena.
