"Oh. Help us prepare a bath, then," she said.The maidservant hesitated, her eyes flicking between the two of them."What's it?" Lena asked calmly."Are both of you going to bathe together?" the maidservant asked."Yes. Prepare clothes for both of us." Lena nodded."But we don't have any male clothes to put on at the bathhouse," the maidservant said hesitantly."Don't worry. I have plenty of clothes in my space ring," Samuel said.The maidservant bowed before turning around and leaving."News of us sleeping together and bathing together is going to spread throughout the entire sect soon." Lena giggled."Why do I feel like that's exactly what you want?" Samuel asked."Well, you're not wrong." A satisfied smile tugged at her lips. "I've really gone through a lot here and endured enough rubbish to last me a lifetime. But after today, no more."Samuel looked at her quietly. The determination in her eyes was unmistakable. Beneath her calm expression, a fire had been burning for far too lon

"So you mean she knew all along?" Fendara asked coldly."Yes. And somehow, she managed to hide it from us all this time," the woman replied."That's because you're useless!" Fendara's voice thundered through the room. "You can't even tell when someone is lying to you. So what exactly are you good for?"The woman flinched and immediately dropped to her knees."I'm sorry, Fendara. I did my best. I couldn't have known what she was thinking. I'm not a mind reader," she pleaded."Oh, so now you're making excuses for your failure." Fendara's expression hardened. "Get out of my face."She lowered her head and hurried out of the room."What do we do now?"There were three other men in the room, all standing behind Fendara."To tell you the truth, I don't know," Fendara said, his eyes narrowing. "According to our original plan, after my son married her, he would find a way to poison her through intimacy. Once she was dead, he would automatically become the sect leader. But now..."His jaw tigh

“Wait. Do you mean you think it’s impossible that I could have been the one all along?” her auntie asked, her face streaked with tears.“I can’t believe I gave everything to raising you, only for you to start treating me like I’m your enemy. How is that fair?” Her voice cracked as another sob escaped her. “If I had taken all the time I wasted on you and your sister and used it to improve my position in the sect, I would be somewhere very high by now.”She covered her face and sobbed harder.Lena stared at her.If her auntie had been an actress in Merika, she would probably have won an Oscar already.“Let me tell you something,” Lena said calmly. “Everything I told you about what happened during the three years I was lost was a lie. Every single word.”Her auntie slowly lowered her hands.“You really think I trust you enough to tell you everything and keep it from everyone else in the sect? Dream on.”“You ungrateful girl!” Her auntie’s expression twisted with outrage. “I loved you who

Kennedy could only watch as the marriage ceremony unfolded, unsure whether he should feel happy or sad.Bruno was his cousin, after all. Yet Bruno's father had never treated him well. He had even sent people to kill him once. Kennedy had only survived because a master had taken him away at the time.Although there were no open conflicts between them now, Kennedy had never forgotten what had happened. Bruno, too, had never shown him any real respect. So, deep down, Kennedy wasn't particularly moved by his death. Still, he had to put on an appropriate expression. Too many people here knew about their relationship."Kennedy, you brought that guy, right?" a man asked as he approached him."Yes. He's an acquaintance. I don't know him that well, but I needed a favor from him, so I brought him here in exchange for his help." Kennedy answered quickly, aware of the ears surrounding them.He could already imagine how quickly the story would spread.At the very least, he wanted it to be clear th

"I really underestimated you. I apologize for that. Now, it's time to take you seriously."Bruno raised his trident toward the sky.Dark clouds gathered around him, spreading across the arena like an approaching storm. Lightning flickered within the swirling darkness, briefly illuminating the arena in harsh flashes. The air grew heavy as a suffocating pressure descended over everything.Then, from the heart of the storm, two enormous black serpents emerged.Their massive bodies coiled through the air, winding between the clouds. Their scales glistened like polished obsidian, reflecting the faint flashes of lightning with every movement. Cold, glowing eyes opened within the darkness above Bruno, fixed upon the world below.The serpents lowered their heads.Their tongues flicked between rows of jagged fangs.Hiss!"Twins of the Abyss!" Bruno's father exclaimed, his expression changing instantly. "Why does Bruno have to use his greatest trump card? I thought he had been playing with the

“Samuel!?”Lena shot to her feet.Rosalie stared at her sister in confusion.What was happening? How did Lena know Samuel? Could it be that they had known each other before? Questions crowded Rosalie’s mind faster than she could process them.“Lena, it’s been a long time,” Samuel said with a warm smile.“How did you get here, Samuel? How is this even possible?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. She knew perfectly well that crossing between the two dimensions was impossible.She had only managed to do it because of a combination of extraordinary circumstances and a powerful treasure.“I’ll explain everything to you later. First, let me deal with this,” Samuel said.Lena immediately understood what he intended to do.“No, Samuel! You’ll be killed. Bruno has lived for hundreds of years,” she warned hurriedly.“Don’t worry about me. Just watch,” he replied, his voice calm and confident.Lena didn’t know what to say.The last time she had seen Samuel, roughly three years ago, he h
