Jay looked at Gale suspiciously. He had been able to tell from the beginning that Gale’s life experience was not as simple. Even though he was about the same age as Baby Robbie and the others, the depth in his gaze and abilities were incompatible with his age. Moreover, his unaffected aura amid danger made Sir Ares suspect that… he and Angeline fell in the same category of people.“What treasure do you want?” Sir Ares tried to probe.Gale smiled and said, “It’s not the time to discuss this, Sir Ares. You’ll know when the time comes.”Jay said, “What if I come to regret this later on and disagree?”Gale smiled charmingly as if he was not worried about Sir Ares regretting his decision. Then, Gale said, “I think I should save you first, Sir Ares.”At this moment, those dozen burly chaps were still unaware of the impending danger. One of them sneered at Gale. “Hmph, isn’t it still too early for you to ask for a treasure in exchange for saving them? Stinking brat, you look like you’re
Gale calmly said, “A kind of Eastern sorcery.”Zayne seemed a little calmer after hearing this. “So it’s Eastern sorcery, huh? Honestly, I thought you called out some departed spirits who were seeking vengeance by demanding the lives of others.” Zayne patted his chest in lingering fear.Gale looked at the group of exhausted and haggard people, asking, “Can you still walk?”Jay said, “Gale, we’ve been poisoned and we can’t take even a step. Can you please do something else for me?”“Tell me, Sir Ares,” said Gale in a forthright and straightforward manner.“Our Robbie is probably held up by Nephele’s men right now. We don’t know how he’s doing. Please go and help him,” said Jay.Gale replied, “No problem.”After Gale left, Zayne began rebuking Jay, “Big Brother, you should’ve asked him for one more thing. Ask him to look for Baby Zetty for us. She’s a healer. She can cure us of the poison.”Jay looked at Gale’s grave and stern figure, saying, “My intuition tells me that asking
“Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be your name…” After praying for quite some time, she noticed that there seemed to be no movements around her. Hence, Baby Zetty bravely opened one eye.Finn was crossing his arms on his chest. He could not help but laugh when he looked at her old face as she behaved so childishly. At the same time, he also found her charming.“You managed to trek the mountains and come to Sacred Land, was it from praying along the way?” Finn said while smiling. Baby Zetty’s whole body froze upon hearing Finn’s voice behind her.After a short while, Baby Zetty turned her head slowly and saw Finn looking at her with a mischievous smile. The pair of beautiful eyes was no longer as cold as before.For a moment there, Baby Zetty was about to escape again. However, when she got up and walked two steps forward, she turned back around again.Finn asked her curiously, “Why aren’t you escaping?”Baby Zetty asked him, “Have you been following me all this time?”Fin
Finn sighed desolately and said in dismay, “Well, what a pity, then. I, Finn Gallagher, have lived for 30 something years and took the initiative to pursue a girl for the first time. But alas, it turned out to be a disaster. Perhaps God wants me to spend my life completely alone?”Finn was deliberately trying to gain Baby Zetty’s sympathy. She had always been kind-hearted and could not stand to watch the person she liked so depressed. At that moment, she just wanted to do her best to comfort the disappointed Finn.“It’s not that I don’t like you, Brother Finn. As you know, both of us aren’t compatible with each other due to my appearance right now. If… If you like me, then I’ll accept your feelings. Once my illness is cured, I’ll agree to be with you.”Finn was inwardly ecstatic.Baby Zetty was indeed the kid he had brought up! He knew one of her fatal flaws very well—she was too kind.Finn said, “I’ll take you to find a cure for your illness now.”Baby Zetty nodded.However, af
However, Baby Zetty failed to fulfill Finn’s request in the end. Baby Zetty had seen the cruelty of the poison sect and watched how they killed Mister and Grandpa with her very own eyes. Baby Zetty had also witnessed their nonexistent humanity.How could she allow Finn to accompany her to this castle where there would be slim chances of escaping?Hence, when Finn and Baby Zetty were still walking along the road, she secretly stained the palm of her hand with medicinal powders that could stun Finn. As Finn had been holding her hand along the way and was reluctant to let it go, he ultimately discovered that something was amiss after accompanying her for quite some time.“Did you do something to me, Zetty?” When Finn felt how weak his limbs were, his first instinct told him that Baby Zetty had done something to get rid of him.Baby Zetty stretched out her hands to hug Finn, who was tottering. With tear-filled eyes, she said to him, “Brother Finn, Nephele killed Grandma Boye and Gran
When the two security guards heard that Baby Zetty was Boye’s descendant, their eyes were immediately fixed on her. Their gazes were akin to countless sharp arrows shooting at Baby Zetty. They looked at her again and again while wondering aloud, “How can Boye’s descendant be older than Boye herself?”This was tantamount to sprinkling salt all over Baby Zetty’s wound.Baby Zetty said, “Mister’s principle in choosing an apprentice wasn’t about age but virtue.”Another security guard said, “Whether or not she’s a fraud, the Poison Doctor said that it’s better to kill all of them than to miss even one. Since this old lady has sent herself to us, let’s just fulfill her wishes.”Then, they said to Baby Zetty, “Come with us.”After Baby Zetty entered the castle’s gate, she started looking around to find the location of the laboratory.She took the opportunity to dig out Sir Ares and the others’ whereabouts as well. “Young men, you lot have been trying to catch Sir Ares for so long now.
The security guard nodded at her blankly.Baby Zetty opened the medicine cabinet drawer and grabbed a handful of medicinal materials. It seemed like they were still fresh.Baby Zetty sneered again and said, “It seems that even though your Poison Doctor has exhausted her talents, her ambitions are not quite dead. She still has unrealistic dreams.”The young security guard nodded blankly once more.However, for some reason, the look on the security guard’s face suddenly turned gloomy.He looked into Baby Zetty’s eyes all of a sudden, his gaze seemingly suppressing a gleam of expectations. A moment later, he drooped his head again and sighed sadly.Baby Zetty glanced at him. “Do you have something to ask me?”The young security guard looked around before whispering to her, “Are you truly Boye’s descendant?”Baby Zetty nodded.“Then have you heard of using a living person as a guiding drug?”Baby Zetty was immensely stunned.Although ancient prescriptions had mentioned using the
“Who are you?” Baby Zetty asked in surprise.All of Baby Zetty’s knowledge regarding the poison sect came from Mr. Boye’s stories. However, Mr. Boye’s understanding of the poison sect had also only been passed from what her mother told her.These sorts of stories that were passed down through generations were somewhat lacking credibility. One of the things Baby Zetty had heard was that there was a living fossil among the poison sect. It was rumored that he was more than a hundred years old and was actually Mr. Boye’s great-grandfather. His intentions were sinister, and his art of healing followed the path of evil. He was innately intelligent and was Sacred Land’s child prodigy.Baby Zetty felt that the old man in front of her was the living fossil. However, Mr. Boye had never mentioned anything about this person being an old pervert. The old man vulgarly said to Baby Zetty, “I have a way to make you young again. But you’ll have to promise me something in return.”Baby Zetty adm
