After almost ten minutes of sluggish walking, Lu Zheng only managed to cross a hundred meters away from the city’s exit. His eyes were barely opened due to the exhaustion.

  He grumbled. “Damn it! What did you do to my body, Ravyn? At this point, I won’t be able to fully escape before I fall unconscious.”

  Ravyn immediately replied, “I already told you. This is the only way you can survive… I mean, that was. Do you think you still have any idea how to get away from him? Deceptions? You’ve already done that and it did not work. You better be thankful, you doofus.”

  Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and mumbled, “Whatever.”

  He breathed heavily and after ten minutes of walking, he was only able to cross half a hundred meters.

  However, he finally entered the forest. On the first tree, he saw a bush behind it, and hastily walked towards it. This time, he barely had any strength left.

  His mind worked profusely. He suddenly unstrapped his belt connected to his scabbard and wanted to hide them below the soil of the bush.

  However, Ravyn’s voice echoed inside his head.

  “It’s futile. That guy was alive. He already knows your treasure.”

  Lu Zheng grumbled and instantly replied in his mind, “Better than nothing at all. Why did you even let him live?”

  Ravyn replied in his mind, “If I was able to, I would have done it. Well, I won’t deny I wanted to give you a powerful opponent in the future. Killing him early since he was still young was a shame!”

  Lu Zheng immediately replied, “That is, if I can live longer! Now, I have to apologize in advance as I might disappoint you now!”

  Ravyn chuckled. “Hehe, not really.”

  Lu Zheng was stunned. He was currently crawling inside the bush, attempting to dig enough soil to hide his treasures.

  Suddenly, two pairs of milky white legs appeared in front of him. His mind froze.

  Is she an enemy? He thought, but seeing her sandals, colored white as a moon, he instantly dismissed it.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  He slowly slid his gaze upward, but, before he was able to see through the middle of the milky-white slim legs, he was smacked at the back of his neck, instantly falling him unconscious.

  …

  Lu Zheng slowly opened his eyes. His mind was still blank. He was in the process of trying to regain his memories.

  He saw the moon in the middle of the night. He felt it was strange. The moon before was already way past the middle, yet it appeared to have returned. He furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head sideways.

  Finally, memories struck him and he slowly recalled the event transpired earlier. From the moment he visited the underground of the clan, the moment he was betrayed, the moment a miracle happened in his life and saved him, the moment he was able to exact revenge—not only to the person who betrayed him but also those who annihilated his clan, and the moment he was able to defeat the Adept rank after Ravyn possessed him, until the moment he saw a…

  He abruptly sat up from his bed. However, he clenched his teeth from the excruciating pain in every part of his body. He felt like he was being pierced by thousands of needles!

  He swept his gaze and turned his head to left and right, attempting to catch a glimpse of a pair of milky white legs that assaulted him out of the blue.

  Finally, he saw a bonfire on his right, not far from him, where two people faced each other with the fire in front of them. They saw at each different logs. However, even the logs had a clear surface, which, just by looking at it, made Lu Zheng feel comfortable by sitting on it.

  Lu Zheng first saw the back of the elder near him. He had long white hair and was wearing an unblemished white robe. There was an exquisite slim sword lying beside him.

  Just by looking at him, Lu Zheng already knew he was no ordinary. However, he did not have a chance to communicate with Ravyn and asked him about the rank of the elder in front of him.

  His eyes slid past the elder and finally saw the owner of the pair of white legs. The moment Lu Zheng landed his eyes on the face of the girls, he was mesmerized.

  He mumbled, “Beautiful.”

  However, he was awakened from his daze and his face frowned. He could not help but growled.

  Beautiful girls are the most dangerous! He thought.

  Ravyn bursted into a hoot of laughter.

  He said, “You are right, doofus. I guess, you are not as lustful as in your age. Compared to me, I was pretty much easily tempted by beautiful women and I have to let you know, lusting for them is no good, loving them is pretty bad, either.

  They will suck you dry. I’ll assure you.”

  Lu Zheng rolled his eyes.

  He said in his mind, “I was saying it because I can’t trust anybody now. Not even you after what you did!”

  Ravyn simply chuckled and did not reply.

  Lu Zheng was then awakened in reality, when he heard the voice of the beautiful girl.

  It was indeed as dangerous as he thought.

  She said, “Hump! I’m not surprised. Anyway, you really slept for the whole day! Is that the consequence of executing the Partial Domain? Wait, Elder, do you think that was a Partial Domain?”

  Lu Zheng frowned. He was suddenly ignored by the beautiful girl as the latter faced the elder in front of her.

  The elder did not even bother turning around as he said, “That was the imitation of the Partial Domain. If it was not for his current level, he would have been able to execute it perfectly. He really is a kid full of secrets. To think we can find one outside the Central Plain.”
