Zayn was unaware of it at all. Faye had already returned to her normal self by the time Zayn was done taking the shower. She took a shower as well so she could wash away any traces of the previous Faye; she was back! Even the ever-sensitive Zayn could not tell the difference.It did not take long before Waine and Ruby had returned home. They were very delighted to see Zayn home. They made sure to catch up with Zayn, and it was especially important because it had been a while.They had already lost any ill feelings they had towards Zayn, and treated Zayn like their precious son-in-law. In fact, they treated Zayn better than Faye sometimes. There were a few occasions where Faye was a little jealous of Zayn. After learning that Zayn was coming back, Ruby and Waine headed to the farmer’s market to pick out many of Zayn's favorite ingredients so that they could cook him a scrumptious dinner feast. Zayn enjoyed the feeling of warmth and happiness very much. The feeling was so powerful
There was an essence of life inside the body of every human being. Though, there was no way to test for the essence of life with current technology. It was something that only a person of Zayn’s level could sense. When a person began martial arts training, other than improving his ability to fight and his intelligence, another important stride was the increase of one’s essence. The more essence there lay in a person, the longer the person’s life span would become.Take Zayn for example—his essence of life was much thicker than an ordinary person’s! With the essence of life inside him now, he would be able to live healthily until the age of 150 at the very least, and perhaps even longer!If human beings did not have to consume more essence the longer they lived, the essence inside Zayn’s body was sufficient for a thousand years of living!It was impossible for a person to live up to 1000 years old, of course. The person would not be a human anymore, instead a demon.As for the rea
In Zayn’s eyes, Revitalizol was already an extraordinary medicine that helped Lil Hyde recover within a short period of time after sustaining lethal injuries. On the other hand, Lil Hyde was telling him that there was another more precious item in 897, whose value far surpassed Revitalizol. It was hard for him not to be interested. Lil Hyde inhaled a deep breath and said, “Frankly, I’m not too sure about the name of the precious item. A few centuries ago, it was known as Pomona’s Pear, and in the few recent centuries, it was known as Ambrosia’s Fruit. In the west, it’s known as Earth’s Teardrop, while in our Sicut In Caelo, it is known as Aeon Karpos. The extent of its preciousness is something that Revitalizol can never match!”Pomona’s Pear, Ambrosia’s Fruit, Earth’s Teardrop, Aeon Karpos?Zayn was immediately stunned by the names of the particular item. Why did it sound so unreal, like it was from a fantasy world?“What the heck is that?” asked Zayn with a frown. Lil Hyde sai
Lil Hyde, who had the moniker of Waltz City’s underworld king, was in charge of more than half of the gray area in the world. However, he still behaved himself and treated Lysithea with respect and admiration that stemmed from the bottom of his heart. Lysithea nodded gently and said, “It has another name known as Makrozoia Pome.”“Hmmm?”Her statement came out of nowhere, so it stunned Zayn momentarily. He came to realize that Lysithea had joined in on Lil Hyde’s conversation. Moreover, judging by Lysithea’s tone, could it be that the fruit actually existed?Zayn immediately asked, “Does a miraculous fruit like that truly exist? What sort of principles is it based upon? What laws does it obey?”Lysithea knowingly avoided Zayn’s eyes. She shifted her gaze away before she said nonchalantly, “I don’t know about the principles, but the fruit does exist. Plus, it’ll reach its maturation period this year, and many forces already have their eyes set on it. By then, it’s going to turn
Lysithea’s arrival made the ambiance slightly awkward, so Zayn did not choose to continue to stay any longer. He bade farewell to Lil Hyde, then he took his leave. Aeon Karpos was very important and highly attractive to the seekers. However, Zayn was not so interested in it because he was already a master fighter. He did think about picking Aeon Karpos in the midst of the discussion so that he could give it to Faye. The Aeon Karpos could make an ordinary person make a breakthrough to become a master fighter and increase one’s life expectancy by at least a few decades. Its value was much costlier than Revitalizol by many times. However, he soon gave up the idea because there were way too many people who had their eyes set on Aeon Karpos this time. Moreover, there were great forces involved as well. There would undoubtedly be a number of master fighters sent out for the fruit, and perhaps there might even be super powerful final-class master fighters. If he were to seize it by forc
Standing by the side, Grayson immediately glared at Jane in displeasure, blaming her for having misspoken. He hastily stepped forward and said, “Miss Carter, Jane has really put her foot in her mouth. What she meant is that it’s been a very long time since all of you gathered together, and many people wish to meet you badly, thus we decided to throw a party for you.”Upon hearing that, Faye felt an ominous presentiment. However, she could not figure out what was specifically sinister about this event. Generally, neither would Jane do any harm to her nor did she have the motive to do so. Jane hastily said, “That’s right. I conveyed myself wrongly. This is what I actually mean. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, and many of our old friends wish to meet you badly.”Faye smiled. She felt rather delighted to be able to meet many of her elementary school friends in the past, hence she did not ponder much on that anymore. Zayn would be coming over soon anyhow. She felt ext
Jane appeared to be pleasantly surprised immediately upon hearing Faye’s consent. Faye’s two female bodyguards immediately said, “Madam, Mr. Larson has ordered us to protect you at all times when he’s not around, and we’re not allowed to let you get out of our sight.”“That’s right, madam. We hope that you won’t make things difficult for us.”Faye became a little hesitant upon hearing the bodyguards’ remarks because Zayn had directed them to do so. She said in an awkward tone, “Jane, my husband did give them such orders. Why don’t I just let them in? They’re professional bodyguards, so they won’t disturb us anyway.” Jane’s expression immediately turned somber. She said in a displeased tone, “Fifi, what’s going on with you? It’s not easy for me to get you to attend a party at my place where so many of our old friends are gathered, yet you still insist on taking your bodyguards with you. I mean, don’t you trust us?”Faye hastily tried to explain herself, “Jane, you’ve misunderst
Faye had no choice but to acknowledge that Jane’s villa was rather huge and elegantly renovated. She was also very astonished to find that the doors and windows in the villa were all shut tightly and fully sealed. The air conditioning was set to a very low temperature, and Faye felt rather cold as soon as she stepped into the house. There were already quite a lot of people gathered in the living hall though the vast majority were unfamiliar faces. Moreover, both men and women sat together and engaged in intimate interaction. In fact, some had even gone overboard and were seen in compromising positions. As a result, Faye immediately furrowed her brows and became annoyed. “Jane, I thought you told me that the party tonight is mainly a reunion for our old friends. Why are there so many new faces amongst the crowd?”Jane held her hand and said with a grin, “These are all my good friends, and they’re very interesting people. Furthermore, the more, the merrier, right?”As soon as Faye
