“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
Philip grabbed the rabbit. “Tell me more about the plan. It won’t be long before I go to the continent you mentioned,” Philip urged. It was hard to talk to this little guy. The rabbit put on a flattering look and looked at Philip expectantly. “I want you to take me with you. I don’t mind if you treat me as a pet!” The rabbit had discovered something amazing. It felt very good to be by Philip's side, and it could even continue to practice. After leaving Philip's side, it would return to normal and feel very uncomfortable. “Just let me hang out with you. Once you take over that continent, I’ll go solo. What do you think.” The gray rabbit proposed to Philip shamelessly. In its opinion, it could improve its strength by Philip’s side. The rabbit felt very happy with this thought. “You can follow me if you want, but what can you bring to the table? I won't accept a loser. You can forget it if you don’t have any special skills. At my level, I don’t need more cute creatures a
“They can improve their strength very quickly and won’t cause you any trouble!” Philip nodded at the gray rabbit’s assurance. “In that case, you may follow me.” Philip did not expect that he would take in a pet out of nowhere. Nonetheless, he gained a lot from this trip. He finally found the portal he had been longing for, and Philip wished he could enter that continent right away. However, he knew that he could not rush it. It would only bring him a lot of trouble if he acted rashly. Philip curbed his longing. He knew that the most important thing now was to leave this place. This place was nothing more than a training ground that simply existed for people to find the portal. When Philip had the idea of leaving, the place shook. The others did not know what was going on and were terrified. Manta looked at Philip, dumbfounded. “What’s going on?” Although Manta was far away, he had a feeling that Philip was the cause of it. Philip glanced at the gray rabbit. Ma
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
“Since you’re so confident, I don’t mind telling you that we’ll set off once the family competition is over. It’s best if you can keep up. If not, don’t blame us.” After saying this, Philip turned and left, winking at Selma in the process. Selma nodded and asked the butler to show the spider people out. They were not her friends, so there was no need for them to stay. The spider people were enjoying the rich energy when someone asked them to leave. “What’s going on?” “Why chase us away for no reason? There's so much energy. Just let us practice here. I’m willing to pay for it!” Everyone howled in misery. They were keen to stay and hoped they could live there permanently. Ariadna was embarrassed by their spineless behavior. However, Ariadna was curious about Arachne's conversation with Philip. It seemed that the discussion did not go well or they would not have been chased away. Arachne glared at Selma angrily, shocked that she would kick them out. She was unwilling to
“You have quite a temper. I’ll speak to him, then!” Arachne was annoyed by Ariadna’s attitude. Arachne glared at her with disdain and walked away. Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
