"From now on, I'll do anything you ask me to do, Master." Alexia knelt on the ground as her body trembled. Clearly, she was admitting defeat and trying to show her sincerity. She added, "If I don't follow your orders, you can kill me anytime!" Woody was still holding onto the Jewel of Prosperity. He let out a snort and said, "You're doing this again. You make vows so easily. "Can I still trust you after you went back on your word earlier?" Hurriedly, Alexia said, "I, Alexia Popp, swear on my title as the Princess of the Epochal Realm! "If I dare to go back on my promise again, the whole of the Epochal Realm will be destroyed by thunderbolts, and billions of my subjects will get tormented! "Believe me, this is the worst vow that could ever exist in the Epochal Realm. It is a vow that I would never dare to violate. "The three spells in your Jewel of Prosperity are specifically designed to subdue demons like me, so I wouldn't dare to lie to you." Alexia had finally been
Woody nodded. "I see!" "Right, what is your true form? Do you actually have nine tails? Transform into your original form. I want to have a look!" Alexia pouted. As the princess of the Epochal Realm, that request was certainly out of line. But she had no choice. She'd made a vow just now, after all. She couldn't afford to go back on her own words so quickly, could she? As Alexia felt the pain on both sides of her waist, she was reminded of the price that she'd had to pay for lying. So, she had no choice but to comply. As rays of white light emitted from her body, Alexia turned into a pure white fox with a huge lump of furry tails behind her. "One, two, three… " Woody started to count with a serious look. Embarrassed and ashamed, Alexia wished that she could hide herself. To her, the tails of the Celestial Foxes were just like a woman's private part. Not to mention, she was the noble princess of the tribe too!It was embarrassing enough being stared at by a man, but
Alexia was extremely fed up, but she was powerless against Woody. With her life at stake, she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction. Snowy? He was really treating her as his dog now! Woody comforted her and said, "As long as you stick to your promise, I'll do my best to help you in anything you want to achieve. "For example, the Epochal Seal." Alexia's eyes instantly lit up. "Really?" "I'm a man of my word!" Woody seriously said. Only then did Alexia's anger turn into joy. "That's a promise, Master. You'll have to hold onto it and not lie to me." "Don't worry. Unlike a certain someone, I wouldn't break my promise!" When it was 4:00 pm in the afternoon, the ship set sail as its horns blared, leaving behind a long white trail as it headed further into the ocean. Right after 6:00 pm, someone knocked on Woody's door. "Come in!" Ginger—dressed in a flowy gown—pushed open the door with a sweet smile. She then coyly said, "Sir, let's have dinner!" "Sure!"
Ginger laughed. "That's true. Let me take care of it then. "Since you're as white as snow, I'll name you Snowy! Don't worry, Snowy. With me here, I won't let you go hungry!" Alexia was helpless. Just then, Gerald walked over from the other end of the hallway and asked in surprise, "Where did this puppy come from?" Upon hearing this, Alexia had had enough! After Woody, Ginger, and Gerald had their dinner, they entered the main hall. Gerald had always kept a low profile. But as an expert in the industry of antique collection, many people knew him and came over to greet him. "Since you personally came here, are there any amazing items being sold at the auction?" Normally, the major antique collectors would have representatives bid for them instead of attending the auction themselves. The benefit of this would be to keep the sellers' identities a secret and to remain mysterious. At the same time, it guaranteed the safety of the collector and the item. "You've misunderst
"How dare a riffraff like him sit in the front row? Isn't that disrespectful toward us, the professional appraisers?" The voice belonged to an old man with graying hair. On his squarish face, there was a solemn expression, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with anger. Everyone was taken aback. Who was he referring to? After following his gaze, everyone realized that his words were targeted at Woody. Woody looked bewildered as well. He didn't know who this old man was at all! What was wrong with this old man? "Master Davis, what's wrong?" Theo was confused and quickly asked. The old man was Macarius Davis, the renowned expert in the trade of antique collection and appraisal.Theo had invited him over at great expense to attend this auction and oversee things for him. Unlike Gerald, Theo wasn't an expert in this profession. But that didn't stop him from becoming a major collector. Besides, if he didn't understand certain things, then he could just hire someone who
"This piece of trash must have used despicable means to deceive Ginny. You wouldn't have fallen into his trap too, would you, Mr. Whitlock?" Marlow thought that Gerald would surely take his side if he said that. But the result was far from what he expected. "My daughter has told you to call her by her full name. Is there something wrong with your hearing?" Gerald said without holding back at all. Marlow's face instantly turned beet red. He had no idea that things were about to go downhill for him. "How dare you call me 'Uncle Whitlock'?" Gerald was expressionless as he spoke in an unhappy tone, "Have you asked for my permission to call me that? We're not that close either! "Ginger is an adult now. It's her choice and right to be with whoever she wants! And nobody else has any say in this or is even allowed to meddle in her affairs, got that?" Marlow's face was bright red. He'd never expected that things would turn out this way! But why? Woody was clearly just a coun
"I invited Mr. Henderson here as an esteemed guest!" With a serious tone, Gerald introduced Woody, "Also, he shares a special relationship with my daughter, Ginger." Ginger instantly reached out to hold Woody's elbow. She wasn't trying to hide how "close" they were at all! Meanwhile, Alexia nearly fell from Ginger's arms, completely unprepared at her actions.On the other hand, Gerald gave Ginger a thumbs up.He couldn't hide his smile as he continued, "Whoever disrespects Mr. Henderson will have to deal with me. "I hope the incident just now will never happen again. Or else, don't blame me for turning against them!" Gerald's last sentence was directed toward Macarius. Whether or not it was a threat, he would leave it up to their imagination. Feeling somewhat humiliated, Macarius gritted his teeth and asked Marlow and Lionel, "What is this? So, this is the useless ex-convict you guys mentioned?" Lionel shot Marlow an equally reprimanding glare. "Master Davis, Lionel,
"Is the Obsidian Flame Grass an antique?" Upon hearing this, Gerald was about to explain the use of the Obsidian Flame Grass to Theo. However, Woody quickly spoke up before Gerald did. He said, "Mr. George, if you're willing to give me the item, I'll do anything to compensate you." The Majestic Ruler actually made a promise to Theo! If he said that he would satisfy Theo, then it could only mean that it was an extremely generous deal. Theo frowned. "Mr. Henderson, I heard that the Whitlock family has a lot of treasures. And I wished that I could trade some collections with Mr. Whitlock. "But I really don't have the item you just mentioned." Theo stuck his hands out. He was lying. In truth, the moment Gerald mentioned the "Obsidian Flame Grass", there was a subtle trace of surprise that flashed across Theo's eyes. He was a master at controlling his expressions. He could manage even the slightest expression on his face well. Gerald had been observing Theo's reaction, but
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
