Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1781 - Bab 1790

What the young arcane practitioner said was very important. After all, everyone was worried about the evil being that overpowered them. The weaker arcane practitioners couldn't help but feel a chill crawl up their spines as they turned and looked at the most eastern side. The first thing that came into sight was the deity's idol. Then, the surrounding countless skulls and offerings started to fill in the rest of the scenes.By all means, no one should've been found at a place like this, and yet someone was indeed locked behind the idol, enshrouded by thick clouds of mist. Dressed in a deep red outfit, his long hair rose and fell with the wind, and he very nearly blended into the chilling mist. However, his exposed bare feet and his wrist underneath his sleeves were bound by metal chains. The young man lowered his hand. As he moved, the unpleasant sound of metal scraping against rocks rose in the air. It was as if he were unfazed by everything around him. His eyes were half-turne

Boy toy?Putting the young arcane practitioners who came here for trial aside, even the grandmasters from various sects had somewhat unusual expressions on their faces. The people who knew Aria also never expected her to be this raunchy in front of the grandmasters. Some of them began covering their faces too. Fortunately, only a few new recruits join Hollowlight Sect every year. Otherwise, this moment would've been all the more awful and embarrassing. The old arcane practitioner coughed heavily, swept his sleeves, and shook his head. "Your grandmaster has given his apprentices too much freedom, it would seem. "He has less than impressive talents, and that was why he kept taking in people who learned nothing about the way of the arcane as apprentices. Truly, this is proof that the world has become worse as the years go by. "Do not use such a word as a boy toy. At the end of the day, Hollowlight Sect was an arcane mountain long ago."Everyone on the scene knew how long ago t

The competition between the sects was fierce, and the elders looked for ways to amass fateful opportunities for their sect. Some seriously considered assimilating Hollowlight Sect, but they couldn't do it out of respect for the sect's ancient founder. The best move was to wait for Thayne, with unremarkable talent, to die off.Then, they could step in, take the role of a benevolent patron, and officially look after Hollowlight Sect. There were easily hundreds, if not thousands of apprentices in other sects. In contrast, there were only a meager 24 apprentices in Hollowlight Sect. They used to have 25 apprentices, who happened to have tremendous talent in the arcane. However, she turned her back on them the moment the opportunity to join a better sect presented itself.Before Lucinda left, she even stole a scripture, completely forgetting that she would've been ravaged at the brothel if Thayne hadn't saved her. She owed it to him for becoming the gifted arcane practitioner that

Landon stopped wiping Aria's sweat, his lashes fluttering slightly. "What?" His voice came out deep and husky. He probably hadn't gotten much rest, which made everything seem even more intimate at a moment like this. They were on the bed after all, and it looked like he'd been taking care of her the whole time. Aria could smell the medicine nearby. Her hand was still gripping his, and she was holding him tightly. In fact, there was already a ring of red marks around his wrist. Her pitch-black eyes hadn't regained their focus yet. Landon spoke up again, seeming pretty patient as his eyes drooped slightly. "Did you have a nightmare?" Only then did Aria seem to fully wake up. She shook her head and asked, "Where's Mr. Revelare?" He answered pretty much whatever she asked. "Mr. Revelare is still at the herb house. You suddenly collapsed and scared the hell out of him." Aria looked at his face. Even his wrists had that sickly pale color, which made the red marks stand out even

Landon had never experienced being forced into something like this, and this was his first time having such intimate contact with someone. After all, no one had ever had the guts to do anything to him. This was definitely a novelty for him, especially when Aria pressed close. He learned for the first time that women's bodies could be so soft and somewhat addictive to touch. It was just that she was too cold, and Landon could tell right away it was related to spiritual instability. This was also something he hadn't figured out—how she could have spiritual instability for no reason. Ever since coming out of the Forging Flames, some of his abilities had disappeared. He couldn't probe karma, but he could still see through divine forms. Aria was tainted with bad karma, though he didn't know where it came from. Generally speaking, arcane seekers feared being entangled with bad karma and meeting a bad end the most. Besides, she didn't look like someone who enjoyed causing trouble eith
