"This type of pill?" Severin frowned and looked puzzled.His puzzled expression had Sofia frown again. "Isn't this the type of pill that will increase a woman's temperature after she took it?"Severin was at a loss for words. He threw the pill on the ground angrily and said, "What were you thinking of? Then how am I any different from that guy who tried to rape you? This is a healing pill that I custom-made myself! It's my special and unique formula!"At this point, Sofia realized she had misunderstood him. She apologized. "I'm sorry. I only acted this way because I thought you didn't want to force me and wanted me to succumb to you after taking this pill. I mean what if you weren't the type who likes to force yourself on people?"Severin was speechless. He smiled bitterly. "There's no reason for me to do that. I mean you're very pretty but I don't have any intention to do anything to you."This time, Sofia was the one who was speechless. 'What did he mean when he has no intention
"You'd rather choose first-grade ones over second-grade high-rank ones? And you're okay with the lower-rank ones too?" Sofia's mouth was wide open, wondering if she had heard him wrongly. The rare genius in front of him might have some IQ problems. For the record, a second-grade high-rank spiritual herb was much better and more precious than ten first-grade spiritual herbs, yet Severin was more interested in the first-grade ones."I'm telling the truth!" Severin smiled wryly because he wanted to collect some of those spiritual herbs so that he could give them to Diane if she ever had the opportunity to have a breakthrough to become a practitioner in the future. He could then use the spiritual herbs to aid her in her attainment so she could reach higher levels quicker."All right then. I suppose you're preparing them for someone else? An apprentice or a disciple, I assume?" Sofia was a shrewd woman and understood Severin's intentions right away. She set aside the second-grade high-ran
Sofia endured the pain from earlier, stood up, and looked at Severin who was smirking in front of her. Eventually, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said, "T-t-this is my first kiss, so I'll give you one minute max! Don't kiss me any longer than that!"Severin could not help but laugh when he saw her awkward expression and tightly-knit brows. 'She's a funny one. Doesn't she know that her injuries are already healed?' Sofia did not even bother to check them, and she was still under the impression that it would take several hours to heal even with the medicine Severin gave her."One minute? That's a little too short for your first kiss, haha! All right, I'll be leaving now. You should check on your injuries, you silly girl!" Severin laughed, then flew forward in a flash."He's gone?" Sofia opened her eyes suddenly and saw Severin's rear figure leaving with a swagger.Sofia cursed at Severin when he left, for she had already prepared to offer her first kiss to him. She wonde
As a result, Severin was excited when he saw the furnace for the first time, and he even spent some time admiring it before he put it away. Soon, he waved his palm again and produced a very small, very thin, and very ancient-looking book."No way! It's an instruction manual on alchemy." Severin could not contain his calmness anymore after turning it over and reading a page. Brandon probably had a position in the sect and probably learned alchemy from one of the elders as a disciple.After perusing the book, he found that the recipes contained within were that of several first-grade low-rank, first-grade medium-rank, and first-grade high-rank pills—all basic pills. "Looks like he's just a beginner, and at best, he couldn't have exceeded the level of a first-grade high-rank alchemist. That's probably the reason his elders gave him this manual."Severin pondered for a moment and smiled contentedly after placing it back. "Then again, it's good to have the basics. With these recipes, I c
Back at Brookbourn, Selene ran up to Diane on the morning of Augustfest and looked up obediently at Diane."Mom! Where did Dad go? Why isn't he back yet?" Diane smiled lightly, touched Selene's head, and said, "Dad has something very important to take care of, and he'll be back in a few days! Didn't he tell you that he'll buy you a lot of toys once he comes back?""He did! I hope he comes back soon so I can have lots of toys!" Selene said happily.Diane smiled, but she was still a little puzzled nonetheless. She was unsure what sort of fate or destiny Severin's master had previously mentioned to him, and Severin only explained that there would be great benefits if he went there. The exact nature of such benefits was unknown, even to Severin!"We can leave now. Everything is ready!" Maurice carried plenty of gifts as he walked out of the villa with Judith."Sure. My mother just called us and asked us to be there soon." Diane said with a smile.Severin's wealth and power had been o
"Sure." Helga immediately smiled and said, "We're very happy with you, of course. There's no reason for us to look down on you!"To their surprise, however, more than a dozen people walked over and surrounded them."W-what's going on?" Helga and Landon were frightened by the appearance of those men and their expressions changed instantly.Cain glanced over, smiled slightly, and said to the couple, "No need to be afraid. They're all my people! These are some of the strongest fighters who came from Cherridom to avenge me.""Where is he, Cain? We'll kill him to avenge you, Theo, and our other comrades!" a middle-aged man with a mustache came forward and said angrily."Haha, there's no rush, Mehdi. You just arrived, so we should all get something to eat first. We can still talk about this tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow!" Cain smiled. After informing Theo's death to the Slasher Gang, their boss was so infuriated that he sent several elite fighters over. They were the creme de
Over at Riverson, Jada went to Quintus's house bearing many gifts after the Novaks invited her over.As the two of them walked into the yard, Jada said to Quintus, "How are you feeling, Quintus? Has your mood improved recently? You might have suffered a lot in Brookbourn, but no one in Riverson knows about it. Don't you think we should just forget about what happened?"Quintus clenched his fist when he heard that and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. "Forget it? Hehe, I can never forget it. I have never been so humiliated in my life. Severin killed plenty of my family's powerful people and made me kneel more than once. After my parents found out, they got so pissed that wished that they could hire someone to kill him. If we did not know how powerful he is, we would have fought him to the death long ago."Having said all that, Quintus paused. "You're right when you say that no one in Riverson knows about what happened to me in Brookbourn, but I have nightmares every night
Severin frowned, and finally bowed his hands respectfully to Wuhlricht and said, "Greetings, uncle-master, sir! My name is Severin!"After finishing speaking, Severin smiled slightly and said, "Sir, why didn't my master ever mention you to me before? He just told me to come here on the fifteenth of August this year because I would be able to get something opportune. Does something like that exist? Will you be handing over some treasure to me, perhaps?"Severin's grinning face prompted Wuhlricht to remark, "No wonder everyone calls you Little Wacko. You share the same similarities with my senior, and that is the lack of seriousness in both your characters!"Severin smiled awkwardly. "Whether or not I have a serious character is beside the point. I simply want to know if that opportunity exists, and if there is any treasure?"Wuhlricht glared at Severin and produced a wine gourd with a flip of his palm. He handed it to Severin and said, "What's the rush? Why don't we sit down and hav
