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
Baby Zetty shrugged at him. “Then lend me your laboratory. I’ll prove it to you.”The old man thought for a while and nodded at the man with a goatee next to him. “Order the men to prepare the laboratory. Oh, and find more people to help her.”Baby Zetty saw through his scheming thoughts. He wanted to place some capable people beside her so that they could secretly learn her skills. Baby Zetty immediately refused. “I don’t need an assistant.”The old man added, “I’ll give you three months. If the experiment is a success after three months, I’ll let Sir Ares and his group go. But if the experiment fails, that'll be the day of their deaths.”Baby Zetty replied, “You have to guarantee the safety of all of them. If they’re harmed in any way on the day I leave, I’ll back out on our agreement.”The old man pondered for a while. Jay and the others were hostages anyway. They would not be able to escape his grasps. Hence, he said, “Fine.”Just like that, Baby Zetty was imprisoned by the m
“You don’t deserve to know what relationship I have with her,” said Jay coldly.A wicked sneer flashed across the old man’s eyes. “Interesting. So there are still people in this world who don’t take me seriously.”Jay sneered and said, “Who do you think you are? At best, you’re a person trapped in Sacred Land. You’re only able to see the little patch of sky above you. Hence, you believe yourself to be infallible.”Jay hated the man in front of him because he was wise and farsighted enough to see the cruelty and inhumanity on the man’s evil face. He could guess that the tragedies that had befallen Boye and Baby Zetty were all because of him.He wanted to slaughter the man in front of him, but he could not. His body was filled with poison and he was extremely weak.The old man was not resentful over it. Rather, he started smiling sinisterly and said, “You have quite the courageous spirit, but I wonder how long will that last?”Jay looked at him provocatively, his eyes defying both
Nephele commanded coldly, “Men, take him to the backyard.”Nephele had bitten her tongue off once and the ‘living fossil’ stitched it back with a dog’s tongue using his superb technique. Nephele could speak now, but her speech was somewhat unclear, which severely impacted those who were listening to her.Several of her subordinates immediately carried Jay up and dragged him out.The backyard looked extremely confined as impenetrable high walls surrounded the area. There was only a small door to communicate with the outside world. After Jay was thrown into the backyard, those men immediately left.With the small door closed, the backyard became extremely dark.Jay curled up on the ground, looking at this well-structured backyard. The high walls and the dome were made of transparent materials that even houseflies would find this place impossible to escape.Perhaps it was due to the poison in his body, but he gradually grew weaker. For the first time in his life, Jay felt helpless a
