Many looked on enviously at the colossal flying sword. When they thought of how easily the Gregories' had been killed just a few days ago, their impulses were promptly quelled. While such a treasure was undoubtedly very desirable, anyone who wished to seize it would need to be stronger than its owner."Your flying sword is truly remarkable. It can expand to such a colossal size in addition to maintaining such an impressive speed. I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to ride something like this. It's an anecdote I'll brag about for lifetimes to come," the second elder of Sus Hall remarked while standing on it. Severin smiled wryly and replied, "It can travel at a rather decent speed, but its increased size makes it heavier. This, in turn, required more spiritual energy and mental energy, particularly when there's a sizable number of people riding it.""Won't we need to take plenty of breaks along the way then?" Diane asked concernedly.Severin smiled and assured her, "Not nece

When Sheila heard that, she panicked and hastily said to Elsa, "Don't believe a word he says, Elsa. His barbecued meats are the best. They're better than any dish you find at a five-star restaurant! You'll regret it if you don't get a taste of it."Diane immediately chimed in and said, "Absolutely! He's just saying that to avoid going through all the trouble. His barbecue is the best I've ever had."Sofia then gulped and added, "Stop it, you two. Just thinking about the aroma is enough to trigger my inner carnivore."Elsa had a puzzled expression as she responded, "Aren't you exaggerating? I guess I'll have to give it a try then." She then turned to Severin and said with a smile, "Looks like your three wives love your barbecue very much. Guess we'll have to go with that for today's reward then..."Severin was speechless. He raised his eyebrows playfully as he retorted, "But didn't you just say you don't like greasy food?"Elsa grinned mischievously and said, "That was then and thi

Birk was in a meeting with several elders when he suddenly detected a faint trace of mental energy sweeping across their sect before disappearing. He was able to sense it even though the fluctuation was quite weak and hard to detect."Is that so? I didn't feel anything?" A middle-aged man frowned, appearing somewhat puzzled.An elder who was an alchemy master chimed in with a solemn expression, "I felt it too. The person retracted their mental energy in just a moment, but there's no doubt that someone was observing our sect using their mental energy."The great elder clenched his fist in anger and exclaimed, "This is outrageous! Who would dare to do such a thing? Don't they realize that we're a secluded sect? How could they just sense our location on a whim with their mental energy? It's a blatant act of disrespect!" The great elder continued with a request, "Please allow me to teach this intruder a lesson. They shall be made to understand that mental energy should never be used for

"Sofia! You're back!" Birk expressed his joy upon seeing Sofia's return. He stood up right away and approached her."Is this Severin, your boyfriend?" Birk noticed Severin's presence at once and was struck by the young man's handsomeness. Having been told about Severin's impressive talent in alchemy by Sofia, he began to understand why she was so captivated by him.Severin smiled and addressed the Birk, saying, "I'm Severin. It is my pleasure to meet you, father-in-law."A faint smirk appeared at the corners of Birk's mouth after Severin addressed him as 'father-in-law' with no hesitation whatsoever.The other elders exchanged slightly bemused glances. From the looks of it, Sofia's relationship with Severin was more complex than that of a simple couple.Sheila chimed in with a smile, "Uncle, Sofia is now Severin's third wife."Birk laughed and said, "Oh? Sofia told me earlier that he needed to provide a betrothal gift. I'm appalled that she is already his third wife even though I

Sofia frowned and retorted, "Do they intend to turn against us simply because two of their guys have reached level two saint? Aren't they afraid of our strength if we throw everything on the line to defend our sect? Our disciples are almost on par with theirs in terms of attainment."Birk then explained, "They haven't declared war against us yet, but the son of the Unbeaten Wind Sect's leader is interested in you. He pleaded with his father to arrange marriage."Sofia was flabbergasted. "Didn't you tell him that Severin and I are already together?"Birk responded, "I did inform them, but their attainment is so high that they hardly take us seriously. They even threatened to attack our sect if you didn't return within a week to accept their marriage proposal.""They're crossing the line." Severin's face soured, his anger simmering to a boil."This is utter ludicrousness. Forcing a marriage? These people are unreasonable," Sheila added indignantly.Diane reassured Sofia, "Don't wor
