Legends of Runeterra

That night, the moon was like water, and the shadows of bamboos were dim in the courtyard.

Inside the house, under the quiet glow of warm candlelight, two figures snuggled up to each other.

"Honey."

"Well, what happened?"

"The 'Dragon Spiritual Mark' appeared on Seti's body. Was it also with your help?"

Although her tone was inquiring, Nalin's gaze on Li En's face was so firm and certain.

"Well..."

"Don't lie!"

"Well, that's right, but I only contributed a little bit. What really made the 'Dragon Spirit' recognize Sett was his courage to still punch when facing the power of the dragon..."

A white and soft finger gently touched Li En's lips, interrupting him from continuing to speak.

"Thank you dear~!"

"Silly, Sett is mine too... Ugh~!"

Nalin took the initiative to move forward and interrupted Li En's unfinished words.

During the time that Nalin followed Seti to Shuoji Temple, apart from other things, each of the elders was a genius selected from thousands.

Looking across Ionia, there are many such masters.

But even so, only Li Qing was chosen by the 'Spirit of the Dragon'.

As for Li En, he is the most special one.

It was so special that it broke the tradition that there was only one chosen one by the 'Dragon Spirit' in a generation, and Sett was chosen by the 'Dragon Spirit'.

Even though Li En said that he only contributed a little, Nalin was not a stupid fox and would not believe it foolishly.

Sometimes, even if you put in 99% of your sweat, without that 1%, it would be impossible.

The slightest difference between all things in this world can be like a chasm.

Now Li En personally helps Sett cross that "natural chasm".

The two also had a close relationship, and Nalin was still extremely excited and grateful.

Leaning gently towards Li En's ear, Nalin whispered a few words.

"This...my dear..."

Facing Li En's gaze, Nalin nodded shyly, subconsciously avoiding eye contact.

Her cheeks are rosy and she is as beautiful as a painting.

That night.

The moon is cool like water, and the grass and trees are silent.

The red candle sheds tears, and the oriole sings melodiously.

...

The next day, Li En returned to the room with breakfast.

"Honey, do you want me to feed you?"

"Woo~!"

The figure under the quilt stirred and whimpered timidly.

"Okay, okay. Then I'll go check out the lessons the elders have prepared for Seti. Remember to eat breakfast while it's hot!"

"...Um."

A muffled reply came from under the quilt, but Nalin still didn't show her head.

"I'm leaving."

"Click~!"

As the door closed, Li En's footsteps gradually faded away, the quilt moved slightly, and a pink and white head appeared.

Glancing around the room and looking at the steaming breakfast on the table filled with all her favorite food, Nalin's face, which was covered with a faint blush, showed a happy smile.

Just thinking about the breakfast being taken back to the room, the blush on Nalin's face became more obvious.

"Really... Sett can't hide it anymore..."

After a little hesitation, Nalin quickly adjusted her mentality and slowly got up to change her clothes.

...

I stayed in Shoji Temple for a week, during which time I strengthened my relationship with Nalin, and also worked with Lee Sin and the elders to revise and formulate Sett's training plan.

Today, Li En said goodbye to Nalin.

"I'm sorry dear, I want to live like this, but..."

The slightly cool fingers were gently placed on Li En's lips, and Nalin's gentle eyes looked deeply at Li En.

“No need to apologize, my dear, you are the chosen one of the ‘Dragon Spirit’, and I know you bear an unimaginable responsibility.

Go ahead, Li En. Seti and I will be waiting for you here."

"Well, thank you, dear."

"fool."

"Haha~!"

His words were returned to him by Nalin today. Li En raised a slight curve at the corner of his mouth and opened his arms to embrace Nalin.

"Honey, promise me that your safety is the most important thing!"

"Well, I will."

"Also...Xia has been waiting for you on Kuilin Island for a long time. Even if you don't have time, you have to go see her!"

"Okay, I understand. There's still a week left. I'll go to Kuilin Island right now."

"Well... that's good..."

Hearing that Li En only had a week left, Nalin really wanted to ask him to spend more time with her, or go to Kuilin Island with Li En.

But thinking that Xia had been waiting for a long time on Kuilin Island, and that she had already spent a sweet week with Li En, Nalin's rationality suppressed her reluctance.

Nalin stood on tiptoe and gently moved towards Li En.

After a long while, Li En gently stroked Nalin's cheek.

"I'm leaving."

"...Well, take care, dear."

"I love you, Nalin."

As the last sound fell, Li En suppressed the reluctance in his heart and disappeared in front of Nalin in the blink of an eye.

"Me too..."

With one arm around herself and the other hand gently holding the pink gem pendant that Li En gave her around her neck, Nalin quietly stared at where Li En was standing, with slightly red eyes.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Ta-ta-ta~!"

"Mom, you are here, have you seen my master again?"

Even though Li En brought Nalin to confess their relationship to Seti a few days ago, Seti was still more accustomed to calling Li En "Master".

To him, the word "father" cannot compare to the word "master" in any way. Calling Li En "master" makes him more accustomed and comfortable.

"Seti, your master has left."

"Ah!? When?"

"Just now."

"Ah this..."

Seti looked directly into his mother's eyes, a blank look on his face.

"Before leaving, he asked you to practice boxing well. Besides, he also gave you this."

Nalin took out a wooden amulet from her waist and placed it in Seti's subconsciously extended hand.

As soon as it came into contact, Sett felt a huge and pure life force surge into his body.

In an instant, most of the fatigue brought by boxing practice was instantly eliminated.

"Mom, this is..."

"This is the 'Holy Tree Amulet', made by Li En himself. It can provide you with a lot of vitality and greatly improve your training progress!"

"Hehe~! That's great, Master really understands me!"

The joy of receiving the gifts and the care contained in the gifts quickly dispelled Sett's reluctance to part.

"Mom, I will go back to training. I must become a 'Dragon Walker' as soon as possible.

By then, I will be able to stand beside Master and help him deal with all those who disturb our peaceful life!"

"Well, thank you, mom. Go Seti and practice well!"

"No problem, Mom!"

Seti nodded heavily, then turned and walked away quickly.

"Seti, remember to tell Master Li Qing and the elders about your master's departure!"

"I know, Mom~!"

...

Somewhere in the spiritual realm, the fast-running figure suddenly stopped.

"Wow~! Why... why did it change direction again~!"

Lilia, holding a long wooden pole with an incense burner on the top, scratched the ground with her deer hooves restlessly.

After hesitating for a while, Lilia turned around with a bitter face and started running again.

"When I see Li En, I must eat all the cakes in his magic pocket! Yo~!"
