Boye came to the rooftop and opened the door that had cut them off from the rest of the world. As her eyes overlooked the entire village and she saw the strange faces of people walking on the road, her face became extremely gloomy.Grandpa had come to her side at some point, saying, “They won’t leave until they find you and Baby Zetty.”Boye replied anxiously, “But I have to go out.”Grandpa asked, “Are you going to collect medicinal ingredients?”Boye nodded. “Yeah.”Grandpa said, “Let me go, then.”Boye shook her head, saying, “You’re my assistant and they know you. How would they ever let you off the hook?”Grandpa said, “I’ll disguise myself.”Boye said, “All the villagers in the village are under their control. If you go out with an unfamiliar face, they’ll be suspicious of you.”Grandpa replied, “We have to try our luck. Otherwise, if we stay here, we’ll run out of food and everything else. We’ll still have to leave eventually.”Boye panicked and said, “Let me consider
Boye’s tears flowed down. After all this time, the sadness she had felt along the way could finally be vented out at this moment. “Baby Zetty, the Boye family’s secret skills are now in your hands. Your mission is the same as mine now, that is, to live and desperately fight to live.”Baby Zetty had never felt that trying to be alive was actually such a stressful thing.Boye suddenly grabbed her thin arms in a stirred up manner, saying, “My mission will be entrusted to you from now on. Baby Zetty, perhaps you’ll be just like me, living a life with no permanent place to settle in. And you’ll always be on the run, living in hiding and living a life of fear. But trust me that all of this will be worth it.”Baby Zetty gulped and thought that Mr. Boye was making a fuss over nothing. In her opinion, as long as she returned to the Ares household in Imperial Capital and stayed by her dad’s side with the omnipotent Ghost members to protect her, she would lead a stable life.However, Baby Zet
Boye grabbed his hand and said emotionally, “When you told me that you wanted to go out to get the medicinal ingredients yourself, I knew that you were determined to learn from my mother and sacrifice yourself to save both Baby Zetty and me. But don’t you know that if you leave me, I won’t survive?”Grandpa hugged Boye and sighed. “Boye, you’ve been stubborn for a lifetime.”Boye smiled and said, “We have Baby Zetty now. She’s better and stronger than I am, so I can die without any regrets.”Grandpa said, “We don’t necessarily have to die. Let’s just give it a shot.”Boye nodded. “Alright.”The old man glanced reluctantly at the secret pocket room. Ultimately, it was still difficult for him to give up on Baby Zetty, so he walked up to the door and said, “Baby, you’ll have to walk the rest of the road alone from now on. Demons are already occupying the village and we can’t escape. Mister and I have decided to sacrifice ourselves. This way, you have a chance of surviving. You must r
Baby Zetty knew that unique metamorphic materials were used to surround the outside of the secret pocket room. It would change a person’s principle of pupil refraction accordingly, making it look like the walls of the room were one with the stone wall at a glance.“No one else is here, Master.”After searching for a long time, everyone ultimately returned without a captive in hand.The white-haired old man stroked his beard and questioned, “Why isn’t there an apprentice? Boye, are you truly not planning to cultivate a successor?”Boye scoffed angrily. “Hmph! I’ve been homeless and miserable my whole life. When would I have the chance to choose the right successor and where would I find the time to train an excellent one? Instead of finding an apprentice who’ll be nothing but a disappointment and a waste of my time, it’s better for me to enjoy my remaining happy and leisure days.”The old man was in slight disbelief when he said, “That’s too bad. The Boyes’ bloodline is fully deser
She scooped the ashes into her hands, attempting to identify which ones belonged to Boye and Grandpa. However, there was dark-colored dust and ashes everywhere in the castle’s ruins. She could no longer tell them apart. Baby Zetty curled up on the ground while crying out heart-wrenchingly.In the end, she used her pair of slender and beautiful hands to desperately move those collapsed walls. She wanted to try and gather the ashes nearby. She wanted to fulfill Mr. Boye’s last wish and return to Sacred Land with her and Grandpa’s ashes.Baby Zetty pried away one of the rocks and suddenly discovered several colorful hard beads lying under the rock. She was astonished and could recall from the books she read that some people would end up becoming relics after death. However, this phenomenon often occurred only when an anchorite died in a praying posture.How did Boye and Grandpa end up as relics as well?Baby Zetty did not look further into it. She quickly gathered all of the relics
“What do you mean what should you do? Follow her into the pipeline and chase after her!”Baby Zetty hid inside the pipe and took a moment to calm herself down. If she focused on fleeing, she would not be able to escape these people’s clutches. She had to rack her brains and fight against them with her intelligence.She tried encouraging herself, saying, “Come on, Zetty. You’re Boye’s disciple. If Mister is able to fool these people, surely you can too.”Finally, an idea flashed across Baby Zetty’s mind. She thought of something brilliant—Bodily Disguise!It just so happened that she was carrying the disguising medicine with her at the moment. Baby Zetty did not hesitate to pour the medicinal powder into her mouth.Then, she quietly waited for the changes to happen to her body.This experiment did not bring about positive results to Baby Zetty. Instead, it severely aged her.Baby Zetty noticed there were wrinkles on her skin, and her dark, flowing hair had turned gray. The most
Baby Zetty was a little stunned. What on earth did she look like right now that the villagers did not even recognize her?The man in a black wolf mask looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously. “Are you not from around here?”Baby Zetty shrieked out inwardly.It would not be good if the villagers recognized her as Boye’s apprentice, but it would undoubtedly be even worse if the villagers could not recognize her at all.After all, it was strange for an old foreign lady to appear at this sort of place.Baby Zetty could only bite the bullet and spit out a lie as she switched to an unrelated topic. “Have you people seen my granddaughter? She’s tall, slender, and very pretty. One would even say that she’s gentle and kind too… We live way over there….” She pointed toward the distant mountains with her finger.The villagers showed a somewhat astonished expression.Among the villagers, there was a child who looked about 15 to 16 years old. He looked relatively thin, yet his eyes were as dark as
“Take me with you.” The boy’s tone sounded determined.Baby Zetty said, “Oh, my good grandson, just stay here.”The young man looked around and saw that there was no one around them. Then, he brazenly placed his mouth close to Baby Zetty’s ear and called out, “Sis Zetty, if you don’t take me with you, I’ll expose your identity to these men.”Baby Zetty stared at him in a daze and raised her fist to punch him in a huff. “How did you find out, stupid boy?!”“Try and guess.” The young man took her belongings and walked forward while holding her hand. Then, he said, “I‘ll take you to where the boats are.”The roads were getting more and more rugged. Plus, Baby Zetty’s bodily functions had deteriorated with age, so she said to him in agony, “What kind of roads are we walking on?”The boy smiled brightly and said, “Don’t worry. The road is rugged, but it’s the safest here!”Only when he had helped Baby Zetty onto a bamboo raft and they drifted farther away from the village did Baby Ze
