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
However, Maximilia could do that.She squatted. “Come up and hold me tight. My current cultivation base is limited, and this is all I can do.”Alex unabashedly leaned toward her and wrapped his arms around her neck.Maximilia was not as tall compared to Jade, but she was plumper overall. When he leaned against her, he was filled with her pheromones. Moreover, she was very fragrant.Alex sniffed her hair. “What is this fragrance?”Maximilia said, “How could I know?! I was already like this before coming in. I may have bathed in a special floral fragrance earlier, though.”Alex shook his head. “No. This is a scent your body secretes. It’s commonly known as the feminine scent.”Maximilia froze and snorted gently.“Let’s go!”She exerted strength on her feet and carried Alex on her back, and rushed up to the wall.Then, she kept stepping on the stone wall with her feet. She even broke the wall along the way.Eventually, they reached the top of the wall safely.Consequently, the
“Rockefeller brat, hold me tight!”Anyhow, they had already been holding each other’s hands from the beginning.At that moment, Maximilia pulled Alex over forcefully and wrapped her arms around him.She was protecting Alex with her own body.Furthermore, she protected his head firmly in her chest... That soft and bouncy sensation suffocated Alex for a while. He lacked the ability for internal respiration and couldn’t hold his breath for long, and would probably be asphyxiated to death.“Hey. Mm… mmhh...”Alex wanted to speak, but words failed to escape his lips.He tried to open his mouth to take a breath, but it was also blocked.In desperation, he bit down hard.A woman’s body contained several areas that were most vulnerable to pain. The location that Alex bit was definitely most vulnerable to pain. After all, this place was set in ancient times, and there were no modern, fashionable sponge bra pads. And Maximilia’s clothes were relatively sexy and thin like Westeros’s. Hen
Finally, she reached the shore.She hurriedly dragged Alex ashore and laid him straight. Without any hesitation, she fumbled and tried to resuscitate him via CPR.Bleurgh!Alex did not disappoint the woman. He quickly vomited a mouthful of water and woke up.However, things looked the same after opening and closing his eyes.Alex was shocked. “Maximilia, Maximilia...”“I am here.”They both fumbled and clasped each other’s hands.Alex said, “Why... Why am I blind? I can’t see anything!”Maximilia said, “I can’t see either.”“Huh? You are blind too?”“I’m not blind. It’s just that light is totally absent here, so we can’t see anything.”Alex heaved a sigh of relief. “Since the things built in the past have decayed, this place has probably been in disrepair for many years. They only cracked and collapsed because they couldn’t bear the weight of the two of us. This place should be Kroraina Kingdom... We better hurry and find a light source. Otherwise, we won’t know what poison
Splash!The quiet but very real sound approached bit by bit.Even someone without cultivation like Alex could hear it, let alone Maximilia.Nervous, the muscles in her body tensed as she held a curved flying dagger in her hand... Of course, she was currently naked. She had fished out the flying dagger from her clothes.Alex moved.Just as he was about to speak, his mouth was covered by a pretty hand.Maximilia wrote, “don’t make a sound” on his stomach with her finger.Clearly, she had long discovered something lurking in the water.Alex did not dare to speak, but he pricked up his ears.The sound in the water was getting louder and closer as if it was within a few meters from them.At that moment, Alex sensed that Maximilia shot out the flying dagger in her hand with an abrupt jerk, followed by a loud explosion with a huge spark at Alex’s eight o’clock.In the faint light, something was visible in the pitch-black cave.Maximilia saw a passage located not far from them.At
A little light lit up the pitch-black cave.Alex kept his guard up and stared intently at the wall. As expected, they were ancient runes, but they weren’t as complicated as he initially expected. He could handle them easily on his professional level, but he had neither Chi nor a cultivation base now. In that past, he could mobilize the spell formation and open the stone door by making a seal with his hands.At the moment, in order to do that, he had to move his position with the help of the runes.Whoosh!The sound of monsters crawling ahead could be heard.Sure enough, the sound created by Maximilia had attracted the monsters.When Alex glanced back amidst the commotion, he was shocked. It turned out to be three enormous mutant crocodiles with open mouths as huge as small boats. In this pitch-black environment, their eyes had degenerated, and their eyeballs were covered. They differentiated directions by relying on sounds.At that moment, Maximilia could only make a move.She
