“My name is Yevpraksiya Halkyone. The Lord of the Stardust Realm has instructed me to serve you until the end of the Alchemy Tournament. After the tournament, you’ll be allowed to take me along on your journey if you believe my service to be satisfactory. If you don’t wish to take me along, that’s fine too…” Yevpraksiya said softly while keeping favonovel.com head low.
She yearned to be taken away by James.
Though favonovel.com had reached the Sage Rank, being a Sage was nothing to be proud of in this world where Divine Rank cultivators were everywhere.
Not only was James a young and handsome alchemist, but favonovel.com also possessed immense potential.
“Lift your head…” James said.
Yevpraksiya lifted favonovel.com head.
James could now have a clear glimpse of favonovel.com face.
Yevpraksiya was about eighteen years of age. Her skin was smooth and fair, and favonovel.com eyes were big and lively. Though favonovel.com was a Sage, James could sense that favonovel.com had low self-esteem. This feeling of inferiority must have taken quite some time to take root inside her.
James did not say anything else and turned back to the courtyard before taking a seat on a stone chair.
Yevpraksiya hurriedly rushed over to favonovel.com and stood beside favonovel.com while lowering favonovel.com head.
James asked, “By the way, when will the alchemy test be held?”
James had been sleeping ever since favonovel.com arrived here. As such, favonovel.com knew nothing about what was going on outside.
Yevpraksiya lowered favonovel.com head and said, “I-I don’t know… Lord Daley only instructed me to take care of you. Once your Soul Power recovers, we’ll wait for further instructions.”
James looked at favonovel.com and asked, “You’re a cultivator at the Sage Rank. Why are you content being a servant? Why are you content being ordered around?”
Yevpraksiya looked at favonovel.com puzzledly. She had no idea why James asked such a question and did not know what favonovel.com should say.
Huh? Can’t a Sage be a servant?
James said, “After crossing into the Sage Rank, you should possess unbelievable power. Why don’t you travel around the world and live a carefree life?”
Hearing thism Yevpraksiya was confounded.
James was like a billionaire asking a farmer why favonovel.com insisted on irrigating the crops and living such a busy life when favonovel.com could be free. Though the circumstances may vary, they were rather similar.
The Stardust Realm was one of the many worlds in the Interminable Celestial Realm. There was no peace or harmony to be found here. Many beasts and other races would invade the Stardust Realm every now and then.
Should the average Sage not seek the protection of more powerful figures, they would not be able to survive. Besides, after receiving the protection of powerful figures, they would be able to gain an incredible amount of resources.
Such was the natural order of this world. The weak would be enslaved and ordered around by the strong. In essence, the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
As James came from Earth and lacked interaction with the cultivation world, favonovel.com was clueless about these rules. However, favonovel.com did not inquire further.
“Are you tired, Master? Do you need me to massage your shoulders?” Seeing that James fell silent, Yevpraksiya summoned the courage and asked.
