The woman with the long whip looked slightly wretched as she got to her feet. The scarf fell off, revealing her true face. After taking a good look, Alex almost screamed... It was a genuinely unsightly face. There were two centipede-like wounds with a deformed mouth that was abnormally large and crooked, looking terrifying and disgusting.Rage welled up in the woman's heart. She wanted to kill someone.The person whom she wanted to kill was clearly Alex. She glared at him like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.However—“Amber, hold your horses. Just treat someone as petty as him as non-existent.”“Maximilia Calypse has a rule. Murder is not allowed within a 100-meter radius of her inn. Otherwise, she will kill you, and she is not all talk.”The woman also knew about that rule. Eventually, she could only leave the matter unresolved and turn around in anger.However, after walking for a short distance, she suddenly turned back and said, “I’m not going to kill him. I just feel
A burst of laughter rocked the inn.No one believed Alex, and they treated him like a fool instead.They looked at the fool. He was incompatible with a place like the Death Inn and was simply worlds apart from them.“Scholar, walk out of the entrance now and stay in the stable for a night. Perhaps you can still survive until tomorrow. You might really lose your life, otherwise!” said an old man with white hair and beard to Alex... He was considered the kindest among the guests in the inn.Alex looked at him. “Thank you for your kindness, but with this weak body of mine, I can’t stay in a stable. It’s more comfortable to stay in a room.”“Hahaha...”That speech invoked a burst of uncontrollable laughter once again.“Fool! What a ridiculous fool!”“In that case, let’s see how you’ll get Maximilia Calypse to provide you a free room! Are you trying to make her fancy your pretty face so you’ll become a guest of honor?”Someone yelled directly upstairs. “Maximilia! Maximilia, come q
After Alex finished speaking, Maximilia unexpectedly grabbed his hand and cackled. “Go to my room.”Without warning, she grabbed Alex and flew up to the second floor.She opened a certain door and walked in with a smile.“Uh...”“Ah...”The guests downstairs were dumbfounded for a moment.Someone booed only after Alex and Maximilia disappeared, and a flurry of discussions followed—“What happened? Does Maximilia really fancy that dumb scholar?”“I don’t think so. That fragile scholar won’t satisfy Maximilia. If she really wanted to choose a man, she would’ve chosen someone like me.”“Pooh! How shameless. Why don’t you look in the mirror? A piece of coal would be ashamed of how fair it is compared to you.”“What’s wrong with coal? Did coal offend you? Yor, you should look in the mirror. Your face looks as yellow as poop.”“F*ck off! You must be looking for a fight!”That man who shouted took out a long sword and was about to start a fight.It was then that a burst of cold l
Alex was shocked to see Maximilia’s reaction. “You know the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?!” he asked.Maximilia nodded. “I even know you are not Zechariah Hadid.”“Huh?”Alex was shocked, but he concealed his emotions. “Maximilia, you sure make a good joke. I am Zechariah Hadid. How could I remember my name wrongly?”Maximilia forced a smile. She abruptly reached out and pinched Alex’s nose. “Rockefeller brat, don’t you know who I am?”‘Holy crap!’Alex’s mind went into overdrive. He stared intently at Maximilia’s face. “Jade Benmore?”Smack!Maximilia flicked her forehead. “Impudent! Call me Master!”Yup. Maximilia was none other than Jade.Jade was also genuinely baffled. When she stepped onto the first step of the Heavenly Stairs, she experienced the same situation as Alex. However, she found that she had become a young proprietress of an exotic inn. More importantly, the inn was operating in the desert. It was truly peculiar.In fact, she still wasn’t accustomed to it.
Phoenix Sect.Somewhere between dozens of divine pillars in the shrine on the immortal mountain…A stunning beauty floated among the sacred pillars.She was none other than Dorothy Assex, who had left Alex to find the Legacy alone.At that moment, she had acquired the Legacy and just needed some time to digest it, but her mental strength had greatly improved. Of course, Xienna Stoermer still played the dominant role at that time.‘Now, my mental strength has surged. With the help of the Legacy’s divine pillars, I should be able to find that person in the sea of people!’Xienna’s fixation was on her lover from her previous life.Having such an opportunity, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.Her soul immediately phased out of her body.Dozens of Legacy’s divine pillars abruptly emitted dazzling light that soared into the sky.A massive mental intent gushed out.She was looking for the man carrying her imprint.No!No!There was still nothing!Unconvinced, she refused to give
Jade didn’t know.She simply hadn’t listened to Lorelei’s explanation.“It’s because I took the first step that we both experienced the same trial in the illusionary realm!” said Jade.“It’s the only plausible explanation.” Alex looked at Maximilia’s unfamiliar appearance. In fact, he was slightly incapable of substituting her character for Jade. “Look at your current appearance. You really don’t look like yourself at all. You seem flirty when you smile!”“Get lost! What makes you think you are any better?”“Is there a mirror?” Alex still didn’t know what he looked like!“Isn’t one over there?” Jade pointed at a large bronze mirror by the table. Alex walked over and looked at it, only to find himself... he really had a pretty face.He was good-looking, albeit feminine and lacking masculinity.“Alright. Isn’t it just a test? Who cares what we look like? By the way, there is a mission in the Heavenly Stairs trial. What is your mission?” asked Jade.“Speaking of which, what a coi
“I don’t mind it. Do you? This body isn’t yours anyway.”Jade rolled her eyes. “I do mind, you rascal. You’re still so lustful even after becoming Zechariah Hadid.”Alex said with a smile, “I call this a test of concentration. No matter how enchanting and sultry you are, it’s all just skin and bones.”Eventually, Jade didn’t strip.Even so, Alex managed to find the precise acupoints and began his treatment.Consequently, it was still effective, but it was much slower than expected. A single treatment was insufficient, so a few more sessions were required.“I’m okay! You should take a break. I’ll get you some food,” Jade said before a momentary pause. “You better call me Maximilia here and I’ll call you Zechariah, lest we let the cat out of the bag.”Squeak!After stepping out of the room, Jade heard a commotion downstairs—“Maximilia, you were in the room with that pretty-faced scholar for over two hours. Did you really screw him?“Over two hours? Are you really that strong?”
“Ah—”“What bugs are these? I’ve never seen them before!”“Save me quickly! Help! I don’t want to die!”Many people screamed in ultimate terror. Although only slightly bigger than ants, the all-white bugs were extremely terrifying. More importantly, they came in massive numbers, densely packed. People with trypophobia would definitely feel their blood freeze upon seeing those bugs.Alex and Jade were at the very back, but they ran the fastest.Soon, they took the lead and rushed out of the passage’s entrance before those bugs reached them.After that, they saw crowds of panic-stricken people rushing out. Some of them howled wildly because bugs desperately gnawed on their bodies... Fortunately, there were few of them, so it would not be life-threatening. However, from the horrifying screams, one could deduce how painful it must’ve been to be bitten by those bugs.No one came out again after one minute.Horrible screams were heard in the cave from time to time until they eventual
