LOGINMark had completely abandoned hope after several years, convinced that no one in the world could cure his condition. He was merely waiting for the tumor to spread and for death to finally come."Go stand up against the wall and stay perfectly still," Ashton stated firmly.Mark was momentarily taken aback and initially intended to decline the instruction. However, he found himself yielding to Ashton because of his overwhelming presence. Almost instinctively, he did as he was told, leaning against the wall and maintaining an upright posture.Ashton flicked his wrist, producing three silver needles that he drove into the acupoints on Mark's neck. He then utilized the Ninefold Arcane Technique and systematically severed the connections between the malignant tumor and the underlying bone and tissue.He moved with fluid precision, and before long, the onlookers noticed the growth on Mark's neck shrinking steadily, its sickly black hue beginning to dim. Mark's ashen complexion improved
In that instant, the surrounding people erupted into murmurs."Who is that guy? Why haven't I seen him around before? Does he have a death wish or something? If he can't cure Queen Eden's chills syndrome, he's done for! He's clearly too young and naive to know what he's getting into!""He's so young, so there's no way he's a divine doctor! He's probably just some attention-seeker! I've seen his type a thousand times before!""He's likely just another creep seeking an audience with Queen Eden! He's incredibly bold for someone just acting on lust!""I can't wait to see him humiliate himself!"Those in the vicinity voiced their derision in unison, as they had seen this exact scenario play out far too many times to take Ashton seriously."Who accepted the bounty?"It was then that a sharp, commanding voice with a magnetic edge cut through the air.A striking woman of martial bearing advanced, flanked by several martial arts experts. She had short black hair and spirited eyes. She
Ashton pounced again, eliciting a gasp of surprise from Miranda.In the end, another two hours of passion followed, leaving Miranda utterly spent. She was so exhausted that it would clearly take her several days just to recover her strength."I'll wait for you to return, no matter how long it takes, Ashton," Miranda said, her voice rich with a seductive, husky quality."You're going to need to work on your stamina, then. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up," Ashton said. He then kissed Miranda on the cheek before heading back home.…It was already night, and Irene had cooked a full table of food for Ashton. She sighed softly as she noted Ashton's determined gaze and hardened, weary appearance. "I'll be moving back to the Lowe residence once you're gone tomorrow, Ash. I'll be fine, so don't fret over me. "You shouldn't push yourself too hard. If it ever becomes too much, you can always return home—I'll be right here, waiting for you," Irene said.Ashton's eye
Ashton was almost entirely consumed by lust at that point, letting his passions run wild. He spent the following three hours with Miranda in a blur of passion that defied description.It was finally dawn, and Miranda's body remained feverish and completely drained of energy. She looked at Ashton with a mix of lingering grievance and a profound, wordless contentment. She had never expected him to be so primal and rough, yet as she looked back on the night's event, she found herself savoring every moment.Ashton assumed a cross-legged position as his body temperature normalized. He was enveloped in wisps of black energy, which grew increasingly powerful with each rotation, exuding an overwhelming pressure close to the peak divine realm."I'd expect nothing less from the chosen maiden. That Omni constitution is incredible," Ashton murmured. He felt a new surge of power in every fiber of his being, even though he had yet to completely refine and absorb the spiritual energy he had se
"It seems like I'll only be able to uncover more of the Draconic Ring's secrets once I reach the otherworldly realm," Ashton said inwardly as he looked up, meeting the vivid draconic eyes of the massive black dragon inside the ring. He then withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the spatial ring."How did it go, Ash?" Colton asked with a hint of excitement."It's actually a spatial artifact, Grandpa. I still didn't find any clues about Dad, but I'll keep digging. I'll definitely bring Mom and Dad together one day and crush those who stand in my way!" Ashton declared somberly."It's a spatial artifact, huh?" Colton nodded in understanding before saying, "It's enough just to try your best, Ash. I'm sure your parents want nothing more than for you to live a happy life.""Got it, Grandpa," Ashton replied. He, however, knew that happiness was a distant dream while the burdens he carried grew heavier by the day. He recognized that his only viable course of action was to relentless
Ashton was now certain that Cyril was a member of the Drake family. He was absolutely certain he hadn't misperceived the Drakeborne Essence.He calmed himself and sent his spiritual consciousness completely into the spatial ring. He suddenly felt a powerful sensation of emptiness and boundlessness wash over him, jolting his very soul."It's actually a subspace spatial ring!" Ashton's eyes flickered with black flame. He knew that a subspace spatial ring was a peerless treasure in this day and age. Even those in the otherworldly realm might not own such a spatial artifact. He also found out that the dimensions within this ring were immense, with boundaries that were invisible to the naked eye.Ashton's mind raced as he detected a reservoir of refined spiritual energy within the ring's dimensions. He could feel the energy pouring steadily into his body, channeled through his spiritual consciousness."Is this spiritual energy from Dad?" Ashton shifted his spiritual consciousness
Josie was over the moon, feeling her affection for Ashton reach new heights. She turned to George and Faye with a smug expression and exclaimed, "Did you guys see that? That's exactly why you should trust my judgment! You're going to be very grateful to me down the road, Faye!"Faye cocked her br
"How about we take a moment to reconsider this, Josie?" George asked hesitatingly.Josie wavered for a moment before locking eyes with Ashton, saying, "You have to be honest with me, Ash. Do you really think you can rouse Faye from her coma? You wouldn't lie to me, would you?""I'm 100% certain th
"I've always been a risk-taker!" Ashton chuckled as he walked into the Curios Chamber. He had no interest in discerning Irina's true intention, as it was irrelevant to him. He had long decided that he wanted to become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury.This was merely the beginnin
Upon hearing that, Eunice's body shuddered slightly. She faltered for a brief moment, then continued walking until she faded completely into the night.Ashton watched Eunice's beautiful silhouette fade away, then rubbed his temples. He had to curb his wanton indulgences in the future. Otherwise, su
