Re:Immortal - Chapter 161
After they finished their objectives with Krano, Omis alongside Addi and Tizzy left the ‘Hive’ leader’s chamber and went back to their side of the palace.
“When are you leaving?” Asked Tizzy as the trio walked down the large hallways of the Divine palace.
Omis glanced at Addi who simply nodded and then turned back to Tizzy and replied. “Now.”
A frown made its way onto Tizzy’s face as he asked. “Now?”
“En, the faster the better. There’s no point in wasting any more time.” Said Omis, Addi silently nodding next to him expressing his agreement.
Hearing that, Tizzy found himself unable to refute Omis’s words so he remained silent for a few seconds before asking. “Are you going to visit little Lu Lu?”
“Aye, I can’t leave without saying goodbye.” Answered Omis with a smile.
Letting out a sigh, Tizzy suddenly stopped causing Omis to turn back and glance at him in confusion. “Tizzy?”
“Well, there’s no point in me going all the way with you to visit your disciple, i’ll just say my goodbyes here.” He said as he extended his hand to Omis.
With a slight smile, Omis grabbed his hand and shook it. Tizzy tapped his shoulder and spoke in a warm tone. “Take care of yourself brother, don’t do anything stupid.” He said.
Hearing that Omis’s heart felt warm as his smile widened before replying. “You are starting to sound like an old man, it seems Addi’s influence has been rather heavy on you.” He grinned.
To that, Tizzy laughed heartily while Addi simply rolled his eyes and refrained from commenting. “Don’t worry Tizzy, I’m not stupid besides Addi is with me.” Added Omis in a serious tone as he reassured Tizzy.
“Good. Addi, i’ll be seeing you.” Nodded Tizzy before turning his gaze to Addi and speaking.
“I’ll be seeing you, take care of your old bones.” Replied Addi with a rare smile causing Tizzy to let out a small chuckle before he teleported away leaving the duo behind in the hallway.
Addi then turned to look at Omis and spoke. “I’ll wait for you to say your goodbyes, we’ll meet above the palace.” Omis nodded before Addi also disappeared.
It did not take long before he found himself standing outside the door of Lu Lu’s chambers. As he was about to knock, the door swung open to reveal Lu Lu who had a sweet smile on her face.
“Master!”
He chuckled at her enthusiasm and gently patted her head, a sad smile hung on his face. Lu Lu immediately noticed and asked.
“Master? What’s wrong?”
Letting out a sigh, Omis replied. “Let’s talk inside, i’ll explain everything.”
Once inside, Omis was momentarily surprised to find Leyla laying down on the giant bed, she lazily turned her gaze towards him and asked. “Oh, big brother Omis, what are you doing here?”
“Leyla.” Omis nodded at her with a small smile before taking a seat at the table in the middle of the room, Lu Lu sat facing him.
Sensing the serious mood, Leyla sat upright and perked her ears in curiosity as she waited for Omis to speak.
“Something came up and I have to leave soon.” He said with a sad expression.
“Master, what do you mean?” Lu Lu’s expression suddenly dropped.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise so soon,” Omis said with a sigh. He then proceeded to explain everything that had happened, starting from the two cultivators from the Primal star sect he and Beri manager to catch all the way to the news of the outside world.
Somewhere along the line of his explanation, Leyla moved closer to them and was now sitting in the chair next to Lu Lu with a frown on her face as she listened.
After Omis finished with his explanation, a long moment of silence fell on the room before Lu Lu spoke with a sad smile. “I understand.” She tried to hide her sorrow but Omis was easily able to see it through her smile.
“Lu Lu I-” He tried to talk but she interrupted him.
“It’s okay master, I understand. I really do want to go with you, but I know that since I still haven’t reached the God realm, I’d only stand in your way.” Taking a deep breath, Lu Lu raised her head her eyes meeting his as she spoke with determination.
“Since It came to that, all I have to do is raise my cultivation base and step into the God realm so next time I would be of help to you!” Saying that Lu Lu struggled to keep her tears at bay as she threw herself at Omis and tightly hugged him.
“But for that, you have to come back safely master.” She added with a whisper as she married her head in his chest.
Omis’s face had a gentle smile as he stroked her hair affectionately before replying. “I will, don’t worry, who do you think your master is?”
Leyla who was watching the entire scene play out had a cheeky smile on her face. After a long hug, Lu Lu finally stepped back from his arms.
“So big brother Omis is leaving, huh?” Said Leyla.
“You girls should take care of each other, and don’t do anything stupid while I’m gone.” He replied.
To that Leyla stuck her tongue out at him, before replying. “Ya, ya, just don’t get yourself killed and come back!”
“I won’t.” He said with a smile as he patted her head he then glanced at Lu Lu for a final time before turning around to leave.
“Master!” Lu Lu’s voice stopped him as he was about to teleport away from the room.
“I’ll be waiting!” Added Lu Lu.
“En.” With a smile, Omis nodded before teleporting himself to the skies above the divine palace where Addi was waiting.
“Are those tears I see in your eyes?” Asked Addi with a grin as he glanced at Omis who suddenly appeared next to him.
“Shut up, what tears,” Omis replied dismissively as he hastily rubbed his eyes.
“Oh, poor Omis, would you like a hug?” Laughed Addi earning him a death glare from Omis.
“Haha, let’s go before you change your mind,” He added as he led the way to leave the heavenly plane.
Omis shot the divine place below one final look before turning into a streak of light that followed after Addi.
