Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
Nero and Neon looked at each other, shocked to hear that their father was prepared to kill for them. At the same time, they realized something. “Dad, if she’s that powerful, can we even put up a fight?” Neon asked nervously. Their family members had been suffering for a while, so none of them were very strong. They might have to hire outside help for this. “We need to find some powerful hunters to help us. We can form a large force and go to South City to hunt her down!” Nero was very pissed with the other party for harming him for no reason. Who could bear it? The conflict was between the older generation, nothing to do with them at all. Now that things had progressed this way, he was unwilling to show mercy. “That’s right. Since this woman wants to harm us, we have no reason to hold back. We should let her family members have a taste of their own medicine!” Everyone was eager to take action and vent their frustration. “Buddy, why don’t you help us?” Neon turned his
Aslan was sitting on a stool looking at the scenery, nearly bored out of his mind. Practice was not important to him at all. With his ability, he could improve his strength even if he did not practice, so he simply slept or daydreamed his day away. Aslan smiled brightly to see Philip returning in high spirits. “Hey, Philip, why do you look so excited? Any good news for me?” Aslan greeted him affectionately. Philip nodded. “Declan, I’ll give you a different pill-making method now. I want you to stay here and guide the kids in learning this new method. Learning it as soon as possible will be very beneficial to you,” Philip said with a smile, taping Declan on the head. The next moment, Declan felt as if he had an epiphany and understood many things. “That’s great! I can finally teach Lyle again.” Declan was in a good mood and ran back to his room as if he had regained his youth. The technique Philip taught him could help rejuvenate him. The more he practiced it, the yo
It would be fine if they knew these beasts, but no one recognized them and had no idea where they came from, which was worrying. “Don't panic, everyone. We prepared these beasts as mounts for everyone. The journey will be very slow without them,” Aslan said with smug disdain. These guys were so ignorant. Although Philip had found these beasts from other places, it was embarrassing to see everyone’s reactions to the beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that the beasts were meant as mounts for them. “Are you sure they can be used as mounts? I feel like they'll eat me alive in one bite!” “Are these the legendary ancient beasts? Why have I never seen them before? I never thought that I’d see one in my lifetime!” Everyone was at a loss because they had never seen these beasts before and could not even name them. They were experienced hunters, but no one knew it. Everyone was flustered and wondered if they should get in the carriage. Neon glanced at Philip. Although h
Everyone realized that the beasts were gone after hearing the wise man’s prompt. This speed was simply daunting. The people who did not get on the carriage regretted it. They finally received a big mission but were disqualified because they did not dare to get on the carriage. It was too late for regrets. The beasts had left. It was impossible for them to reach South City quickly at their speed. These people could only lament in the direction the beasts left. Neon and the others felt the world spinning when they got on the carriage. They finally adapted to it after a while. Right then, Philip knocked on the door. “We’re here. You can come down now,” Philip said. Neon was taken aback and glanced at his brother in confusion. Both of them were still dizzy. Their practice level was quite low, so they did not feel very good at this moment. The stronger people were not so badly affected. They simply felt dizzy, and a moment later, they arrived in South City. This speed was
Neon and the others were different. They were quite weak, so it would be bad if they encountered any trouble now. “Don't worry, I can take care of myself,” Neon nodded and said excitedly to Philip. This trip was indeed exciting, especially for Neon, who had never been outside Imperial City. In the mysterious valley of South City, an old woman was vomiting blood while bedridden. Many people gathered around, worried about her health. “Mom, are you okay? Your health is getting worse by the minute. What happened today?” a man said anxiously by the bedside, shocked by his mother’s condition. His mother had always been very energetic, leading everyone in the valley to practice their secret techniques. However, her health started deteriorating this morning. First, she vomited blood, and her body twitched all over. Now, she could not even walk. “Based on what you taught us, are you suffering a backlash?” the young man asked with doubt and caution. If his mother suffered a b
The young man's name was Abell Lauder, the most outstanding young talent in this valley. As the descendant of the old woman, his talent was unparalleled. “If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be here soon.” The man sat on the stool and closed his eyes as if he had anticipated everything. Abell grimaced in surprise to hear that. “Don’t worry, Dad. So what if they're here? I won’t show them any mercy.” Abell was still kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had to defend his mother. The old woman was not happy that her secret had been exposed. She had planned to keep everything a secret. In fact, the old woman had harmed more than one person. Most people who knew her secret had been killed. She left only one man to carry on the family line for her. If the old woman could stand up and resist, she would kill her husband at once. However, her strength was slowly failing. She would probably die if she did not get treatment soon. “Find a white
“Philip, are you sure we’re in the right place?” Philip nodded. Although various formations had been laid out to mislead them, Philip easily deciphered them. At this time, Philip and the others met Abell, who was looking for white ganoderma in the mountain. Abell was shocked to see outsiders on the mountain, and they broke their formations too. “Abell, do you think those people entered the formations by mistake or broke through them?” a woman asked curiously. Everyone knew about the formations in the valley, so they never went out, and no one entered by mistake either. Mr. Bell Senior was lucky enough to enter the formations by mistake without dying and experienced a romantic encounter on top of that. Later, he managed to leave with his overwhelming luck. He was the only outsider they knew over the years. Abell glanced at the group of people with disdain. “They probably broke in by mistake. Maybe they destroyed the formations, but it's not a big deal. We just need to fi
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
