Chapter 489: What Did I Get Into? Grey stared at Void, with no option left, he turned around slowly. On turning around, he was surprised to see a lady who looked to be in her late twenties. He couldn't help but do a double-take just to be sure she was the only one here. The lady had a diamond-shaped face with long blue hair tied into a ponytail, her eyes were blue, just like her hair. She stood at around five foot seven, almost as tall as Grey. Her hourglass figure was brought out by the clothes she wore, a long black shirt, with trousers. Grey couldn't say she was the prettiest girl he had seen, but she was definitely in the top ten. "What's with that face?" The lady asked with a curious expression. She isn't able to see the entirety of Grey's face, but from the little she could see below the mask, it wasn't hard to tell that he had a surprised expression. "Oh sorry, I was a little confused," Grey apologized. "Hmm, forget about it. Why were you able to absorb my lightning bu??erflies?" The lady asked. When she came the first time, she only wanted to play around, but what happened some moments ago piqued her interest, so she naturally wanted to figure out how it was possible. "I have no idea, this is the first time something like this is happening," Grey replied honestly. "You don't know? That's strange," The lady replied. She stretched out her hand while staring at Grey. Grey stared back, not sure of what to do. "Give me your right hand, do I have to tell you everything?" The lady asked, unimpressed by how slow Grey was at processing things. 'Void, this is all your fault. If we don't die, you're no longer allowed to bring suggestions that might get us in trouble,' Grey couldn't help but complain. If he didn't stay behind to watch the fight, then this lady wouldn't have come to find him, she would've left as soon as she was done with her fight. Although, he couldn't say he didn't learn anything from the battle. Grey placed his right hand on the outstretched hand of the lady, and just as she took his hand, she quickly threw it away within a few seconds and retreated. "What happened?" He asked. The lady on the other hand seemed to have her guards up against him, stretching out her left hand, indicating he shouldn't come closer. Grey paused, not sure of what to do. 'Such a strange lady,' He thought internally. The lady looked at Grey, confused. 'Why was my senses kicked out? Even someone on my level wouldn't be able to do it this easily,' She thought. Just as she sent her spiritual senses into Grey's body so she could find out why he was able to absorb her lightning, a powerful energy kicked her out, aggressively as well. If she didn't retract her spiritual senses on time, she would've been injured. "Alright, let's head back," She said before walking back to the cave. Grey stood still, it's not that he didn't want to go back to the cave, but staying with someone who seems to have what looks like mood swings might put him in danger, after all, she could suddenly get annoyed. It wasn't like he was powerful enough to save himself from any of her attacks. "Why are you standing there? Come on," The voice of the lady came out of the cave. '*Sigh* What have I gotten myself into?' A dejected Grey stared at the entrance to the cave, before walking in. Neither he nor Void knew why the lady was staying with them, but they couldn't chase her away, nor could they run. After walking back into the cave, Grey sat down in the corner, not speaking. He initially planned on trying to comprehend the earth element when he gets back to the cave, but with a suspicious person here, he couldn't. "Where are you from?" The lady asked after some minutes of silence. "Somewhere remote, I have almost zero knowledge about this place," Grey replied truthfully. He couldn't lie since other than Eagle's City, he didn't know any other place. It wasn't like lying would do him any good. "Oh, no wonder you were foolish enough to watch the battle," The lady said. "Wait, it's wrong to watch others battles?" Grey couldn't help but ask. "Not when you're this weak. Some people with short tempers have been known to kill people watching their fights. That dumb fellow I was fighting with also does that, has I not attacked him when he was leaving, then you would've been dead by now," The lady explained. "I thought it was a cheap shot," Grey almost exclaimed. "Cheap shot? For that fool? I could beat him easily in my worst days, much less now that I'm in a great condition," The lady scoffed in disdain. It was easy to see how little she thought of her opponent. "Oh, okay. I'll run in the other direction whenever I see people stronger than me fighting now," Grey kept a mental note of what the lady said. Ray didn't tell him anything about this, so he had no clue. The lady kept asking him questions, he answered the few he could, leaving the rest. He had some questions he also wanted to ask, but he's too comfortable with the lady, so he decided to let it go. It was soon daybreak, and the lady for some reason didn't leave. Instead, she followed behind Grey as he prepared to start his journey. "Where are we going?" The lady asked. On hearing how she asked the question, Grey stumbled. 'Since when was there a we? It's just me and Void!' He said internally. "This city," Grey showed her their destination on the map. He didn't know the name of the city, so all he could do was show her where they were headed. "Okay, let's get going then," The lady replied. '*Sigh* Can't I be left alone?'
