Chapter 22 A Token Of Love


    After Zachary left the Bamboo Gully, he went to the Logistics Hall to get an assignment. When he


    completed the assignment, he returned to the treehouse.


    ''It turns out that the ultimate goal why the system sent me to collect that ganoderma is to heal Elva.


    This main quest is really interesting. Can the system predict what will happen in the future? But will


    Elva be moved by my actions?'' Zachary wondered. Then he smiled and entered the system.


    "Congrattions for unlocking the series of sub-quests of ''First Awakening of Love''. The first sub-


    quest, the Token of Love, has been unlocked..." Zachary was knocked off his feet after he read the


    contents of the first sub-quest. It required him to get a brassiere from Elva.


    "Holy, shit! Is this quest trying to get me into trouble? It asks me to get a brassiere from Elva. I can''t just


    ask it from her directly. Otherwise, it''s no different frommitting suicide," Zachary cursed as he felt


    helpless. He was required to get Elva''s brassiere toplete the quest. He knew how important the


    main quest was. If he failed toplete this quest, no other main quest would be avable.


    Apparently, Elva was connected to this series of sub-quests.


    "Is the purpose of this main quest to make Elva fall in love with me?" Zachary muttered in slight


    disbelief.


    "It seems that the only way toplete this quest is to steal it. But, this can be very difficult. The best


    time to do it is when Elva is not in her room." Zachary gritted his teeth. He understood that it was an


    extremely difficult quest. Not even considering the big gap between Elva and him in terms of power.


    More importantly, if he got caught, he would bebeled a pervert.


    Night came fast. Silence and darkness spread everywhere like fog.


    It was in the dead of night when a figure ran all the way from the back hill of the Welkin Sect to the


    Bamboo Gully where all the female disciples lived.


    It was called the forbiddennd because male disciples were not allowed to approach the Bamboo


    Gully within five hundred meters. If anyone vited this rule of Welkin Sect, they would be punished


    severely. Several female disciples oversaw daily patrol within the restricted area around the Bamboo


    Gully daily.


    Although this was the forbiddennd for regr male disciples, for Zachary, sneaking in was as easy


    as sneaking into an unguarded ce. It did not take long before he slipped into the Bamboo Gully from


    under the watch of a group of female disciples who were on patrol.


    Zachary sneaked into one of the bamboo houses, when a soft fragrance grabbed his attention and


    disrupted his concentration.


    Zachary crept inside the bamboo house, separated from the outside world by a bamboo door. He was


    relieved to see that the bed was empty, though he knew this beforehand because he had asked around


    before he nned toe here tonight. His eyes scanned the objects inside the house one by one


    and tried to determine where the object that he came here for could be. Elva was on patrol tonight and


    would not be back any time soon. He should have the time that he needed to steal what he needed to


    get without fear of being discovered.


    Zachary''s eyes fell on a small bamboo cupboard in one corner. He approached it with a wicked smile,


    reached out his hands, and then opened the cupboard. He saw three neatyers of clothes inside


    which were clean and dry. Some of the clothes at the lowestyer were colorful and fragrant. These


    colorful clothes were the holy objects that male disciples in the Welkin Sect always dreamed about.


    "She has quite a few of these. I''ll just steal them all, so I don''t have toe back if I need one again,"


    Zachary whispered to himself and raised an eyebrow. He took out a cloth bag immediately and


    collected the loot. Then he quietly closed the cupboard and left the house.


    He suddenly heard the sweet sound of a flute as he exited the house. The music breaking the silence


    of the night.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "This is weird. Who is ying a flute at this time?" Zachary listened to the flute while looking for the


    figure that yed it. He couldn''t help but look in the direction where the music wasing from.


    Under the moonlight, on top of a bamboo tree not far from Zachary, a snow-white figure stood. Her


    body moved with the music that made the tune more alluring. The sweet but mncholy music from


    the flute and her slow dance were irresistibly intoxicating.


    "Who is that ying the flute in the middle of the night? Is she not afraid to disturb others?" But


    Zachary did not have the time to enjoy the music or the graceful movements that apanied it. First,


    he just stole something and second, he was not supposed to be here.


    "Who''s there?" a voice called as the flute ceased ying. The figure suddenly jumped into the air and


    after she leaped between several trees, shended lightly and blocked Zachary''s path.


    "It''s you! Didn''t you go on patrol?" Zachary fixed his eyes on the figure in front of him. He had no idea


    that it was Elva, the famous aloof beauty in Welkin Sect.


    "What are you doing here? And what''s that in your hand?" Elva didn''t expect to see Zachary in this time


    and ce. She then nced at the cloth bag in Zachary''s hand.


    "Nothing. Actually, I came to see you," Zachary said. He quickly hid the bag behind his back.


    "You came to see me?" Elva asked surprised as she stared at Zachary.


    "I thought that the weather was perfect for a date tonight. So, I wanted to ask you if you''d like to go out


    for a walk. By the way, didn''t I just give you my pill and cure you? I think that maybe we could go out for


    dinner tomorrow," Zachary said smiling. He couldn''t help but think about the crazy sub-quest that he


    received. He started to wonder what the next sub-quest would be.


    "What are you talking about? Watch yournguage. But I want to thank you. The fourth-grade Heaven


    and Earth Pill really had a great healing effect and my internal injuries have almostpletely healed.


    Here are three third-grade green therapeutic pills that the leader gave me. I didn''t want them at first,


    but now that you gave me that fourth-grade purple therapeutic pill, these three could serve as a gift of


    gratitude. The three pills could notpare with the fourth-grade pill though..." Elva said as her cold


    face softened a little. She took out a bottle and handed it to Zachary.


    "You don''t have to. Just keep it. I obtained the pill by luck. Maybe it was heaven''s decree to send me to


    you when you needed that four-grade pill. To tell you the truth, I didn''t expect that a beautifuldy like


    you is not snobbish like everyone else. I was expecting that you would not even talk to someone


    nameless like me. I am just very happy and honored that you epted my pill. You do not have to give


    me anything in return; your quick recovery is all that I needed," Zachary said with humility. He wanted


    to create a cordial mood between the two of them and to give her a good impression of him. And the


    situation was indeed a good catalyst for the chemical reaction between them. He thought that how Elva


    regarded him could be helpful for the sub-quests ahead.


    "You seem to be different from the other disciples here." Elva''s voice was cold, but there was a subtle


    change in the tone of her voice as well as in the way that she looked at Zachary.


    "Maybe it''s because I am not a confident personpared to them?" Zachary said as he smiled lightly.
