Life After Prison Chapter 1999
Surprised by what he heard, Severin soared up from his chair and flew out of Pearl Light Isle as soon as he heard Emery's voice echoing outside the island.As he stepped out of the island's protective formation, Severin's attention was drawn to the sight of a captivating woman. Her graceful figure was clothed in a pure white robe that complemented her peachy face. Like a flower unsullied by the soil that it grows on, she emanated a prominent and serene aura that captivated anyone.Severin stood suspended in the air upon seeing Emery. He gazed at her and suggested, "Let's call off the bet we made, Emery. It's not something that we ought to be taking too seriously."Having won the tournament against Emery and obtained the Pristine Spirit Pill and its recipe, Severin faced much animosity from Daniella, who tended to be very protective of her student. To avoid any potential conflicts, Severin decided to forgo Emery's unfulfilled part of the bet.Emery, however, seemed offended by his s
Life After Prison Chapter 2000
Emery recalled vividly her master's advice during that challenging time, where she was told that confronting the problem head-on was the best way to overcome her inner turmoil. However, Emery hesitated to immediately fulfill her part of her bet, believing that she could conquer her traumatic experience without any help. Alas, the outcome was a resounding failure. Since her defeat to Severin, Emery found her progress becoming stagnant. There was even a decline in her success rate of refining the sixth-grade medium-rank Crystal Spring Pill.In her helpless desperation, Emery finally accepted reality. Letting go of the trauma after Severin's defeat would require her to face the situation head-on. After days of internal struggle, a recent surge of terrifying swordwill on the Seventh Mountain caught her attention, and it later transpired to her that Severin was behind that.Emery's master, Daniella, insisted that Severin possessed the potential to become a celestial, which only highligh

When Severin entered Pearl Light Isle, he observed Emery's movements with his divine senses and saw Emery following him in with the token in hand. His previous wariness of Emery's master, Daniella, had reduced slightly because Emery had entered out of her volution. The distinction between coercion and voluntary action were two different things, and it was not the place of any outsider to comment on that.After withdrawing his divine senses, Severin smiled to himself and thought, 'Hmm… Emery is going to be very useful in helping to craft sixth-grade low-rank and medium-rank pills. That'll help me to focus on making a breakthrough to seventh-grade alchemist.'Severin was motivated by the prospect. Though his elevated status as the sixth core disciple sparked many an envious glance from the ordinary disciples, he knew all too well that his responsibilities continued to grow. His days were spent either training, polishing his combat techniques, or creating pills to secure a much-anticipa

"She'll be my maid from now on," Severin said openly. His straightforward response came as a bit of a surprise to them. Though they knew of Emery's earlier bet, they hardly expected her to hold on to her word and become his maid.The usually mediative Gilda voiced her concern. "Having her become a maid doesn't seem like a particularly good idea."Doing so might bring disgrace to the Sixth Mountain if word got out. Severin understood the reasons behind her concern and reassured her with a smile.Emery, on the other hand, offered her reassurance to Gilda. "It's just a bet. I lost to Severin, and it is my obligation to fulfill my end of the bet."The firmness in her reply helped reassure them that she seemed to have done it out of her own free will. They all got up and approached Emery. As the first wife, Diane had a caring character that could set everyone at ease. She smiled and suggested, "Don't think of yourself as a maid. Just make yourself comfortable as one of us."Gilda and S

The extreme shock on Emery's face elicited a giggle from Diane and the other girls. Diane, as the eldest among them, stood up and said, "It's all thanks to Severin. We wouldn't have been able to make such quick breakthroughs without his alchemy skills."Gilda and the others nodded wholeheartedly upon hearing that. Though they had the privilege of residing on Pearl Light Isle, the training resources they received followed the standard given to normal disciples—two sixth-grade low-rank pills each month and a few spiritual stones. Breaking through to the fourth level of Supreme Saint with such limited resources was difficult, if not nearly impossible.Emery had already predicted yet, and she looked at the girls with envy. Consuming sixth-grade pills like candy was a luxury beyond imagination, and one that would surely leave everyone else outside of Pearl Light Isle in shock. Lucky for Emery, she was able to calm herself down quickly as a result of her experience.She then observed that

During the period where she had to grapple with her inner trauma, maintaining even a thirty percent success rate with the sixth-grade low-rank Crystal Spring Pill was challenging. Several cauldrons nearly burnt to the point of being unusable during the refinement period."I'll be back to my best again if this continues!" Emery thought. Her remaining resentment toward Severin had dissipated. After doing a stretch, she carefully sealed the dozen or so Crystal Spring Pills in a box.Upon completing the task, she opened the door and entered the garden courtyard. There, she found Severin and others lounging on chairs and reading books. Emery approached them and handed the book, saying, "Here are the pills."Severin put aside his guidebook to the places outside of Southsky and took the box. He opened it to find fifteen Crystal Spring Pills inside. After a brief inspection, he frowned and closed the box. He tossed it to Diane and the girls before remarking, "The quality isn't good enough,

After suppressing her excitement, Emery gestured respectfully to Severin and said, "I can't help but wonder how far you've progressed in alchemy. I feel like I've been enlightened by your advice."The excited look on Emery's face led Severin to smile calmly. "I am making preparations to become a seventh-grade alchemist!"It had been nearly two months since he became a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist, and after digesting the knowledge passed down to him in the Alchemy Tower, Severin had a better idea of how he could become a seventh-grade alchemist. By his estimation, it would not be long until he achieved that.Emery's jaw dropped upon learning that Severin was already preparing to become a seventh-grade alchemist. As far as she knew, Severin was only a sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist when she lost to him in the contest. Seeing him about to be promoted to a seventh-grade alchemist gave her the impression that breakthroughs in alchemy came naturally to him!As a prodigy of the Six
Life After Prison Chapter 2006
Every single one of Severin's wives stood up one after another. Diane stared at the dark clouds blotting out the light as well as the thunderous aura contained within them. She might be a level four supreme saint, but she was still intimidated by the spectacle. As Selene's mother, she could not help but ask anxiously, "Why would thunderbolts appear when Selene is merely making a breakthrough from royal saint to supreme saint?"Even Severin was a little puzzled by that. When he first broke through to level nine supreme saint to that of a paragon, the phenomena that occurred were limited only to a vortex of spiritual energy. There were no thunderbolts, as suggested there. However, Selene's breakthrough made it appear as though the thunderbolts in the sky were some sort of heavenly retribution!Emery stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave and offered some words of comfort as she looked at Diane's anxious expression. "This is a good thing, and there's nothing to be worried about
