“I remember passing out during a fight and waking up here.” “My experience was different. I had some fun before I was caught. That woman was very beautiful.” Everyone shared their stories. Philip overheard the conversations and realized what was going on. “So, all of you have been deceived by women. That’s interesting.” A fat man seemed very interested in this topic and spoke excitedly. “Why is my experience different from you guys? I was very unlucky. A big and strong woman knocked me out and brought me here. This is really too much. Is it discrimination?” Philip laughed when he heard the various interesting stories. “Buddy, why are you laughing so happily? Were you captured and brought here by force too?” Philip shook his head. “Your experiences are really interesting. They didn’t capture me. I turned up at their doorstep.” Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip in disbelief, wondering if he was nuts. “You must be crazy to walk into the trap of your own accor
Philip grinned broadly. “I have no use for so many subordinates. Since you don’t mind paying, let’s discuss the price.” Everyone looked at Philip with disdain. “Hehe, buddy, stop bragging. This isn’t an easy problem to solve.” Someone twisted his head and pointed in one direction. A big pile of bones in the corner presented a scary sight. These people had just been killed earlier. “We saw that when they brought us here. With so many skeletons around, that old witch must've killed many people.” “That woman is terrifying. We have to watch out.” Everyone tried to persuade Philip. Many of them had accepted their fate. Although they knew that death was inevitable, they wanted to have fun while they were still alive. Philip shook his head helplessly. “Do you think this rope can do anything to me?” Philip exerted some force, and the rope tore apart in an instant. Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, shocked to see Philip tearing the rope so easily. “Why is your energy
Philip sighed when he heard the comments. He never thought that these snake women would be so cruel and ruthless to attack humans. Their practice technique was definitely not ordinary, most probably an evil technique. “Get ready to escape. This is East Hill Island. There should be some bamboo rafts at the door. If you help each other, I’m sure you can escape successfully.” Philip pointed them in a direction and asked them to leave on their own. After all, they had been captured without their knowing, so it was understandable that they did not know their whereabouts. Everyone was surprised to hear that they were on East Hill Island. “What? We’re actually on this mysterious island.” “Everyone says that East Hill Island is full of treasures. Since we're here, maybe…” Some people were not seriously injured, so they were eager to explore. Others were very scared and refused to stay on the island any longer. They quickly formed a team and fled. Philip ignored them and walked to
A rabbit sat on Philip's shoulder, and they quickly entered the depths of the palace. Philip saw the arrogant snake monster at a glance. “Snake woman, how dare you do such things behind the scenes? In that case, let’s cut to the chase. Hand over your treasures and I’ll consider leaving you a whole body.” A voice rang out the moment Philip appeared, and the snake women were terrified. Philip rubbed his nose awkwardly. He did not say that. Rabbit acted like a human while sitting on his shoulder and even took the initiative to talk to the snake woman. Sienna did not expect that Philip could break free from the restraints. She glared at Philip with some apprehension. “How did you break free from the restraints?” She sealed Philip herself. Even a strong expert could hardly break free from her restraints. Moreover, she used a custom-made rope that no one could break easily. “Don’t worry about that. Your petty tricks can’t do anything to me at all. I want to know what treasure
“It's a pity that other beasts didn't have such pure bloodline as the fox monsters and couldn’t provide me with the energy I needed. Humans are a lot better. You practice just to become my feed. “Deadly Arena even came up with a list just for me to find my prey. I wasted no effort to get what I wanted.” Hearing this, Philip finally knew why Foxy hated the snake monsters so much. The snake monsters killed Foxy’s predecessors. “In other words, the fox monsters have an everlasting grudge against the snake monsters!” Philip sneered. Even though they were both monster beasts, the snakes kept conspiring against humans and beasts alike, while Foxy wholeheartedly wanted to protect the beasts. The conscience between the two species was obvious. “Everlasting grudge? They're simply too weak. All of them combined are no match against me,” Sienna scorned, clearly looking down on the other party. Meanwhile, Foxy snuck away from the crowd and entered the depths of the palace alone. Althou
“As far as I know, there should be no fox monsters left in this world. I’m surprised to see one here, which proves you’re the only one left. I have to savor you.” Sienna saw Foxy as her prey and did not feel the slightest hint of fear. “You were the one who massacred my family back then, you vicious woman!” Foxy’s target for vengeance was divided into two. One was this vicious snake monster beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years. The other was Deadly Arena, which had been attacking the foxes and other beasts for as long as anyone could remember. Not all the fox monsters died in Sienna’s hands. Some of them escaped, only to fall into the hands of Deadly Arena. In the end, only Foxy survived. Foxy’s emotions had been in turmoil since seeing Sienna. Although Deadly Arena was hateful, this woman was the ultimate enemy in comparison. “Little girl, you should just give up.” Sienna smiled and reached out to Foxy. With her strength, it would be easy to deal with Foxy.
No one could resist this temptation. Normal beast meat could improve a practitioner’s strength and practice level, not to mention this powerful ten-thousand-year-old snake monster. Thinking of this, Philip suddenly looked forward to getting rid of her. Hearing Philip’s remark, Sienna finally made up her mind. “Keep an eye on this place.” Hearing that, Philip sprang into action. He knew that the snake monster was going to run. Before Philip could do anything, however, the snake monster escaped. “As expected of a ten-thousand-year-old snake monster. She has many tricks to escape from my hands,” Philip said in surprise. The snake monster was clearly indignant and would retaliate next, but Philip was unfazed. He was more afraid that Sienna would not come after him. The palace would not go anywhere, so he wanted to catch Sienna to find out about this place. Meanwhile, the other snake women stood on guard. They were not as strong as Sienna and could only resign to their fat
Foxy nodded and entered the battlefield with her weapon. Foxy fought the female commander and defeated her easily, as Philip expected. The maids were weaker in combat and fell into Philip’s hands without resistance. “This snake meat is a good source of nourishment. Even if we don’t eat it, we can sell it for a fortune.” Philip marveled at the sight of the carcasses. These monsters were very valuable. Foxy sighed as she had fulfilled her wish. She looked at Philip expectantly. “Thank you for helping me. I wouldn’t have defeated them so easily if not for you. Although Sienna, the culprit, is still at large, I’m very satisfied for now.” Foxy’s eyes welled up with tears at this point. She knew how powerful Sienna was. She was no match for Sienna even if she practiced for hundreds or thousands of years. Therefore, Foxy never thought that she could attack the snake monsters one day. Philip smiled helplessly at Foxy’s reaction. He never knew that Foxy could be so emotional. “Don’t
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
