Fortunately, Aslan’s crush was not around or he would have been embarrassed as hell. “You’re a macho lion. If your beauties in the harem saw this, it’d be embarrassing as hell,” Philip teased. It was a comical sight for a burly guy to end up like this. Aslan felt embarrassed too. He always cared about his image and would never allow something like this to happen to him. Aslan accepted the fact that Philip had seen him like this. It was no big deal for Philip to see him like this, as long as it was not a beautiful woman! Aslan relaxed at this thought, but Philip was puzzled. He wanted to make fun of Aslan, but he accepted it so quickly, which was inconsistent with his nature. However, Philip did not dwell on it. He started exploring the cave after Aslan stood up. There had to be treasures in this weird and mysterious cave. “Look around and be careful. I suspect we can find treasures here,” Philip reminded Aslan. He was not afraid that Aslan would get hurt but afraid that he wo
Nothing could save the wraith. The hunched figure screamed and lunged at Philip. Philip backed away, trying to keep a distance from this crazy person. The person smelled very bad from hiding in this cave for who knew how long. If this person touched him, Philip might feel dirty even if he took a bath for three days and nights. Aslan immediately jumped to another side. Aslan was not afraid if the opponent was strong and would attack him for sure. However, this person smelled so bad that Aslan could not withstand this psychological attack. Philip finally saw that it was an old woman. “You killed my Billy. I’m going to kill you. Neither of you will survive!” the old woman cursed as she attacked Philip with her cane. Philip waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning restrained the old woman. “Billy! My Billy!” the old woman screamed her wraith’s name despite being bound tightly. “Let me go! Give Billy back to me!”The old woman was not very strong. Philip could deal with her
“Now that I've captured you, it’s not up to you to bargain with me. The ball is in my court. I hope you realize that.” Philip was very unhappy with her attempt to negotiate with him. He was the one with the initiative, so it was up to him to do as he pleased. It was the old woman’s wishful thinking to get his soul and spirit. He was tolerant enough not to kill her outright. “Hehe, since you’re here, you should know about the island,” the old woman said secretively. It felt strange to hear that hoarse voice in the empty cave. Aslan felt goosebumps all over his body. Philip stared fixedly at the old woman, waiting to see what she would say. Seeing no reaction from Philip, the old woman knew she was right. “Since you’re here for that thing, you have to let me go. Many stupid humans have reached this place over the years, but only one person can enter it,” the old woman spoke of the past events. Philip seemed to realize something. Maybe this old woman was the person in char
Philip was the most promising and talented person she had seen over the years. She could recreate Billy once she took possession of this man’s body. At that time, Billy would no longer be a wraith but a living person. As a wraith, Billy could return to life repeatedly. The old woman always used this method to deceive others. Billy would be reborn again after being destroyed by the other party. After rebirth, Billy would become stronger and more proficient in his mastery of space and domain. Therefore, the old woman was not worried that Billy would vanish completely. With Billy’s undead skill, the old woman could do whatever she wanted. “When you reach that island, you can pick a fruit called the Motley Fruit to restore your soul and spirit,” the old woman said earnestly. She had always wanted to enter the island but did not meet the requirements and could only guard the door. “My request is very simple. If you give me a fragment of your soul and spirit and bring me something
Indeed, Philip learned this trick from Scarlet. Philip thought that Scarlet's charm technique was quite good and practical. However, it was missing some critical elements, so Scarlet was quite bad at casting her charm and could only attract people who were much weaker than her. If she were better at it, many people in Imperial City might marvel at her. However, now that the relationship between them had turned sour, he felt no need to dwell on that woman's future. Philip quickly got the answers he wanted. At this time, the old woman finally returned to her senses. She was shocked to realize that she had given away all her secrets. She tried to cover her mouth with her hands as if she could erase her words from Philip's memory. However, she was bound so tightly that she could not move at all. Philip could not only block the old woman’s energy core but also control her movements. He could not be bothered with other tricks. He wanted to seal his soul and spirit and give it a try
Philip and Aslan hurried through the passage and soon saw light ahead. Philip expected to see a forest, but they appeared in a paradise. The place was full of men, women, and children in ancient attire walking in the fields happily. Some people plowed the fields while others were teaching their children to read and write. Philip was very surprised to see this scene. He thought he would see a forest or a prosperous city, but it turned out to be the countryside. Moreover, this area was not very big, and Philip could see it at a glance. With only 40 or 50 people living here at most, their presence hardly made a difference. The natives were curious about Philip and Aslan’s sudden appearance. An old man marched over and said with a smile, “It has been many years since we saw a fresh face. You actually passed the many tests to make it here!” Philip was puzzled by the old man’s amiable behavior and felt that something was not quite right. The bad premonition grew more intense, but h
The room was so big that Philip and Aslan could stay in it together comfortably, but the other party insisted that they separate for some reason. Philip could not refuse the other party’s kindness. Since this was the rule of their village, they just had to abide by it. “After we separate, you have to be wary at all times, or do you want to return to our world instead?” Philip discussed with Aslan worriedly. Aslan was reliable at times but careless at other times. Even if this was a trivial matter, Philip did not want any accidents. Aslan shook his head. He wanted to solve this mystery himself. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay focused and won’t cause you any trouble.” Aslan understood Philip’s intention and assured him. Philip turned to chat with the villagers. After an hour of interaction, Philip did not find anything strange. The content of the conversations was quite normal. Except for being a little outdated, Philip did not see anything inappropriate about these villagers. “We ca
The first elder’s image matched the heritage he received.The second elder was a little short. “Don’t think too little of Second Elder Burton. He’s the God of Alchemy. I’m sure you would've never seen such amazing pills before!” the village chief introduced him with a smile on his face. Hearing that, Aslan also smiled, but only Philip knew the meaning behind his smile. Obviously, Aslan thought that claim was a stretch. As someone who popped pills like jelly beans, he really wondered what magical pills the other party could make. “God of Alchemy? That sounds amazing,” Philip praised. Before finding out the actual situation, Philip would not offend them. The third elder was stout and muscular, obviously not simple at a glance. “If I’m not mistaken, this elder must be involved in weapon smithing.” Philip made a bold guess, which the village chief quickly confirmed. “Indeed, Third Elder Clay specializes in forging various weapons. Each of them has received the heritage of
