Alvin who joined later watched Elena cry, while the others looked confused. “Aish! Women and their trouble. Why is she crying when her brother is fine and alive?” Murong Wuque muttered under his breath. Alvin slowly approached Elena and wrapped her in his arms, rubbing her back slowly in silent consolation. “Big sister.” Oliver’s heart was aching as he looked at the strong Elena reduced to such a state. Alvin carried her to the sofa where Oliver was staying, and she forcefully wiped her face. She took deep breaths and opened her mouth to say something but closed it without making a sound, as if an invisible hand was holding her vocal chords. She shook her head, her eyes filled with sorrow and relief. Elena grabbed Oliver's shoulder and gave him a tight squeeze, nodding vigorously, unable to form words. “Big sister.” She pulled him into her arms, as more tears escaped her eyes. “My boy.” Murong Wuque shuddered in distaste and moved away, creeped out by the emotional displa

Alvin turned to look at Murong Wuque. “Why will you want to do that? Even if others are forced to share, you're the one person who will never be inconvenienced. She will probably give you the best room with the most beautiful view. You're the immortal prince of heaven after all.” Murong Wuque crossed his hand behind his head and leaned back into the sofa. “The others can have the rooms, I will stay in your quarters.” “Why the hell will you want to do that?” Alvin roared. “Aish! Really he's driving me crazy.” Qin Li looked up at them. “That's right, first brother, why will you want to do that? You hate people touching you the most. You detest body contact. How can you stomach sleeping in the same bed with someone else.” Alvin nodded vigorously, silently beseeching Murong Wuque to have a rethink. He scoffed and looked at Alvin's terrified, half hopeful face. “What else? To gross him out. I already told him I will make his life miserable for bringing me here against my wil

Alvin shut his eyes, his heart constricting painfully. ‘This is the reason inexperienced women are the most troublesome to handle. They're so pure and easily influenced by fleeting emotions. Just a few intimate encounters, she developed solid feelings and is dreaming of a happily ever after without asking me if my feelings were also love or likeness. Damn it. I should have just died. What have I done? Does this mean I have to marry her now?’ The system chuckled, intruding into Alvin’s thoughts. “What do you expect? Women, especially the ones from sheltered, righteous backgrounds have been raised to only love and serve one man. Since you were her first lover, it makes sense that she would begin to lean towards you.” “We didn't even go all the way. Ah! What am I going to do?” “It doesn't matter. That day, she was willing to offer herself because she cared enough about you to abandon propriety and her ever important honor. Her pride didn't even matter to her and she humbly offere

The disciples nodded and immediately ran out. But deep in their hearts, they knew it was futile. The one they were asked to chase was the disciple with the moniker shadow demon, one of the top three assasins raised by the previous sect master. He could blend in with the environment, and had the ability to make his footsteps disappear. He could track down anything or anyone with the tiniest of clues, while remaining invisible himself. Medicine sage valley had Qin Li, Tian Luo had him, Zhuge SuoWei. He had no family nor root, not a lover nor friend. He was a certified loner with no friends or known weaknesses. That was the reason he feared nothing and had no qualms challenging the toughest of devils. Finding him would be impossible, but they knew that Shi Tong wouldn't want to hear that in his current state of mind. So they ran off on the merry goose chase. But in any way, they were just grateful to leave his oppressive presence. Anything was better than remaining inside the sect n

Alvin's eyes were wide with panic and his heart seemed to have dropped with him. But before he could hit the ground, a soft body appeared beneath him. It was Murong Wuque lying under him to break his fall. A slender arm encircled his waist at that moment and he gasped out loud, his heart beating erratically as if it would fall out of his chest. This feeling of being so easily overpowered by another person was truly too terrifying and strange for Alvin and he was having a terrible time coming to terms with it. No, he would never be able to come to terms with it. How could someone be so powerful that he could manipulate someone of Alvin’s caliber and power like a ragdoll, a mere puppet? “What the hell do you think you're doing?” Alvin roared, his eyes blazing with fury. All the response he got from Murong Wuque was silence, accompanied by his signature deadpan face, emotionless as always. Before he knew it, he felt himself move again. And in a nanosecond, they were back on hi
