Manta quickly returned to his senses and patted his chest in fear. He never thought that he would have the urge to jump into a pit one day. “What’s going on? Is there some magical power in this pit?” Manta glanced at the pit nervously and staggered back, unwilling to stay there any longer. Manta glanced at the members who kept jumping down but finally decided not to help after much deliberation. He was not a god and could not save everyone. It would be over if these people dragged him down with them. He would not suffer for anyone’s sake. Manta turned around and ran away without hesitation. He wanted to enter the pit from another place. He saw a road leading into it not far away and decided to give it a try. It was better to go around instead of jumping to his death. After Philip and Aslan entered the pit, they saw a big paradise before them that gave them a comfortable feeling. Aslan followed Philip cautiously, which looked a little dodgy for such a burly guy. “Thi
“Are you here for the Labeau family’s secrets?” the rabbit suddenly spoke, almost freaking Aslan out. Aslan never expected that the rabbit could speak and could hardly accept it for the time being. Philip was not surprised but looked at the rabbit with interest instead. “Oh, you can speak. In that case, why don’t you take us to see the so-called secret of the Labeau family?” Philip said with a smile. This rabbit was quite intelligent and looked very cute. However, Philip did not know how strong the rabbit was or its intentions, so he made some plans too. The little rabbit flicked its ears and signaled Philip to put it down. “I’ll take you for a look, but you have to promise not to hurt me!” The rabbit's red eyes darted around, and Philip nodded in agreement. “Well, it’s a deal. Let’s see if you can catch up with me.” After the little rabbit landed on the ground, it hopped very quickly forward. Philip quickly took Aslan with him. At their level, a little rabbit could
“The so-called secret of the Labeau family you mentioned earlier, is it here?” Philip asked curiously. The rabbit would be dead if it dared to lie to him. “I hope you can answer my question truthfully. After all, I like eating rabbits very much. Barbecued rabbit is a pretty good choice.” Philip took out various seasonings and showed them to the rabbit. Philip would cook the rabbit if it disobeyed him. The little gray rabbit trembled in fright and begged for mercy. That pitiful rabbit could not withstand Philip’s torment at all. “I brought you to the right place. Stop thinking about eating me! This is the so-called secret base of the Labeau family. Do you see the house in front? You can find the secrets of the Labeau family over the years once you enter the house!” With the rabbit’s explanation, Philip understood what was going on. That house was just an illusion as a cover for the entrance in front. No wonder the house looked a bit surreal. It was something similar to a
Some people said it was a door while others called it a portal. Everyone had different opinions about it, but no conclusion was ever made. Philip was very excited upon hearing that. Maybe that was what he was looking for! “However, this family has disappeared for many years, and it became a secret in the end. I can only bring you to this point. I have no authority to enter that place.” Philip simply nodded at the rabbit’s explanation. “Since you've cleared everything up, you may go.” After saying that, Philip walked in the direction of the mirage, followed by Aslan, who had been immersed in the story. As Philip entered that place, the rabbit smiled like a human. “Let’s hope you’re the chosen one mentioned in the legend. You’ll be in luck if you uncover the secret.” The gray rabbit hopped behind Philip, simply staring at him without following. “Philip, don’t you find that rabbit weird?” Aslan whispered. The rabbit seemed to know a lot and seemed to be leading them
Philip shook his head helplessly and continued marching forward, reaching the top very soon. The last few were quite stressful but posed no threat to Philip. Aslan huffed and puffed as he followed Philip and finally reached the top too. “It feels like we’re standing at the top of the world.” Philip glanced around with a smile. He had to admit that the scenery was pretty good. Philip was curious about something dazzling in front. Without hesitation, he walked over and grabbed the shiny thing. He looked at the thing in his hand and realized that it was a portal. The portal glowed with a golden light and looked very attractive. “Philip, is this the thing mentioned by that rabbit?” Aslan could not wait to enter the other world through this portal, but he knew that now was not the time to risk it impulsively. “I think so. I believe the rabbit will find us soon. Don’t tell the rabbit about this for the time being. Let’s fool it,” Philip said with a smile. He wanted to know
The other white rabbits fawned over the gray rabbit, which proved its extraordinary status. “So, what do you want? This portal?” With a wave of his hand, an exquisite portal appeared in Philip’s hand. The gray rabbit was expectant, but its expression quickly changed. “I’m not after it. I just think we can consider working together. I can tell you all the secrets behind this portal.” The gray rabbit was smart enough to display its bargaining chips to negotiate with Philip. Philip nodded. He did not mind working with the rabbit. He planned to get more benefits from the rabbit too. “Go ahead and tell us the truth,” Philip said with a smile. He kept the portal in his space. He did not want to cause a commotion in the outside world with this thing. The gray rabbit glanced at Philip reluctantly. “There’s a place called the Precept Continent. Of course, this is just a name in our records. There may be other names. “This portal leads to that continent. The people in thi
The person who spoke was none other than Manta. He took a detour and finally arrived. He met several members who shared the same idea along the way. Although they were not very close before this, it was good to find some cannon fodder in a place like this. Manta simply wanted to make good use of them. Someone should take the lead to explore the way in such a dangerous place. “Uninvited guests should leave at once! You aren't allowed to enter this place!” the gray rabbit said vehemently, but due to its cute appearance, it was no deterrent at all. Maybe these intruders would be wary of a ferocious beast, but the rabbit in front of them was no more than a pet with no danger at all. “Oh, this little rabbit has quite a bad temper. Believe it or not, I can turn you into a roasted rabbit and eat you!” “That’s right, we’ve been hungry for a while. You’re just right to ease our hunger a little.” As everyone teased the rabbit, Manta stood behind without a word. He looked around
“Everyone, please stop arguing. We need to think of the guild!” Manta said helplessly as if he was being victimized. The other members became angry. “Manta, you mustn’t condone these people. They’ll get worse!” “That’s right, it’s just two of them against all of us. So what if they're powerful?” “We need to show them the power of the Spada Guild!” After saying this, everyone formed a formation to deal with Philip. In their opinion, Aslan was not worth mentioning. Although he was tall and sturdy, he did not exude a sense of oppression. Philip was different. Even though he sat there silently, he was terrifying. It seemed that he could crush them with just his finger. Everyone in the Spada Guild was full of pride and could not bear this thought. “They're so annoying. Drive them out. I want to talk to this little rabbit,” Philip ordered. He had not finished his discussion with the rabbit yet. Aslan nodded. He had long been annoyed by these people. He would have alre
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
