D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

1049 Chapter 1049 Lian into it

I decided to go with a Lian chapter first.

—-

“Lily I swear to the heavens, if you die on me I’ll find some way to curse you back to life!” hissed Lian as she grabbed the sides of the paper plane she was now riding. Lian shifted her position to alter the planes angle of attack and hopefully stop them from just crashing into the nearby mountains.

In Lian’s mind, this was a minor thing. She leaned back and stabilised the plane before leaning to the right and taking them away from the cliffs she knew surrounded Bing’s home. Not too far though, she wanted to ride the updraft that the mountains provided, even so high up and so cold. To Lian, this was a somewhat challenging thing, but of minor not overall.

She was forgetting that she’d grown up as part of a sect of Wind cultivators. Even if she didn’t cultivate wind qi at all, she’d picked up more than a few tricks just from living with them so long. She had an intuitive understanding of air currents that could only come from spending hours upon hours of class time learning about them and all their intricacies. For Lian, she knew it would never be as important to her as the others, but she hoped it would be useful when she eventually learned to fly. She learnt later on in her life that it wasn’t, not really, but the information was proving its worth right now.

Lian glanced down at the still figure of Lily. *Dammit. You better still be breathing you little rat. Getting me out alive might be nice but your demon girlfriend will FUCKING MURDER ME if you aren’t recovered by the time she finds us. Honestly, I’d rather face the sects justice. At least I know they’ll kill me quickly. Can’t risk damaging their precious image of righteousness so it would be over quickly.

Well… that’s a little unfair. The sect does good work, and provides a number of services for the needy mortals. Wait… is that a rude way of putting it? I don’t know who I’m arguing with… I just mean that the mortals who are need. The sects soup kitchens are surprisingly relaxing to work at for example, because we come down HARD on troublemakers interrupting that sort of thing.

So it’s not like the sect does NO good work… but I grew up with Lian. I know about the black division, and the inquisitors. I know we’re not all sunshine and roses… hmm… I suppose I could end up with them… but as Bing’s friend it’s a bit too necessary to make my execution public, and they’d need me to look somewhat ok for that… though… if they cut off a hand or foot ‘during a fight’ perhaps. Ugh, still better then letting Kat get her hands on me if Lily isn’t ok.

I mean what was Kat thinking really? Lily did wonderfully in getting us out, but I can’t believe Kat let her help. It clearly wasn’t Lily’s idea, and based on the fact she’s out cold… or… well no she’s out cold, I can’t be upset about that fact on Lily’s behalf. Clearly she wanted to help… and it probably means a lot that Kat was willing to trust her with my safety, by herself. I get the feeling Lily doesn’t get a lot of chances to do that.*

.....

Lian sneezed, and sadly, the paper plane went with the jerking motion. Lian had to struggle a bit to keep from flipping the plane over. One of her hands had to snake over and grab Lily before she could roll out of the plane. Which of course, caused more issues with the stability of the plane. Lian was stuck fighting the wind, and her exhaustion for what felt like an age but was in reality only five minutes at most.

Lian was breathing heavily when she finally got the plane floating calmly once again. They were still going to crash at some point, but it would be far in the future, and hopefully away from anyone who wanted to chase them for the time being. With Meng and Bang being fake, Lian was hoping they didn’t know the mountain as well as she did. It was a bit of a fragile hope, but one that she was banking on.

*If I’m really luck I should be able to find one of the cave systems Bing and I found playing on the mountain. I have vague memories of a few of them… hopefully I’ll spot a landmark or something. Urgh… hopefully this isn’t too much effort. I’m still basically out of qi, and the fact that I was hyped up because of the fight isn’t helping matters. I’ve got just barely enough energy to keep myself from collapsing but no more than that. I can’t do anything too strenuous, not even fight this plane more than… once? Maybe twice more? Ugh… Lily why did you think this was a good idea?
