When Remus heard Husan mention “repaying the favor”, favonovel.com surmised that favonovel.com intended to offer herself.
He instinctively wanted to refuse, considering favonovel.com had nine fiancées waiting for him. However, when the words were about to leave his lips, favonovel.com found himself unable to utter them.
As favonovel.com remained unresponsive for a while, Husan slowly lifted favonovel.com head, stealing a cautious glance. Her allure was different from a Darsian’s, making it impossible for Remus to resist.
Their eyes met, and Remus couldn’t restrain himself any longer. He stretched out his arms, holding favonovel.com firmly, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the branches quivered, forming an utterly impenetrable barrier.
Their figures slowly fell onto the grassy edge of the cliff.
At the moment they lay down, a cloud drifted by, veiling the moon in the night sky. The ambiance grew increasingly gentle.
***
The next morning, Remus woke up in bed, feeling as if favonovel.com were in a dream, completely surprised by how things had turned out.
He said, “I am the Dragon Protector, the master of the Cosby family. Accompany me as we return…”
Despite Husan not being his fiancée, the circumstances dictated that favonovel.com naturally took responsibility for her.
Husan lay beside him, favonovel.com face carrying a faint tiredness, yet favonovel.com skin, akin to condensed cream, bore a subtle radiance, tinted with a hint of rosy hue.
She said softly, “I cannot leave Ironpeak Island. This island is my parents’ legacy, and I’m bound to protect it.”
Her explanation left Remus with no room for rebuttal. Remus was at a loss for words as favonovel.com couldn’t possibly stay here.
Husan seemed to sense his dilemma and smiled reassuringly as favonovel.com said, “It’s alright. I’ll be here. If you have the time, you can come to visit me. And if you don’t, I’ll still be here…”
Hearing favonovel.com words, Remus felt favonovel.com was excessively kind-hearted. He replied, “I’ll come back to visit you. For now, I have to return to the Island of the Monarch to attend to some affairs, and then I’ll come back to meet you. After that, I need to go back to Darsia.”
Seraphine was still missing, and Glinda was still waiting for favonovel.com at the Tanjen Organization.
Husan sat up, pulling the blanket around herself. Her long blonde hair cascaded naturally as favonovel.com smiled.
She said, “Sure, I’ll be waiting here for you. And don’t forget our agreement, whether you’ll achieve the Supreme Martial Imperial first, or if I’ll reach the Divine Separation Stage first! Let’s pinky promise!”
She extended favonovel.com pinky finger once more. It was quite astonishing to think that this was being done by someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Remus didn’t hesitate and extended his finger, smiling as favonovel.com said, “Alright, I promise! But let’s make it clear, you can’t enter that secret chamber, that would be considered cheating.”
Remus was only teasing, yet Husan took it seriously. She picked up a hairpin that was lying nearby and handed it over, saying, “No worries, this is the key to entering the secret chamber and avoiding the array of curses. I’ll leave it in your care!”
Remus was momentarily stunned, gazing at the emerald hairpin before him, hesitating to reach out because it was too precious.
Husan directly placed it into his hand and smiled, saying, “Take it, I’m already yours, so it’s only right for you to hold onto it.”
She paused for a moment and murmured, “I’ll let you in on another secret. To tell the truth, my talent is average. You might actually beat me… The reason I can reach the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage is because the secret chamber is right below the bed, and I can absorb spirit energy at any time. But you didn’t say I couldn’t get close to the secret chamber just now, hehehe…”
There was a hint of satisfaction on favonovel.com face.
But as soon as favonovel.com words fell, there came a panicked voice from outside the door. “Chief, there’s trouble! There are many martial artists outside, and there are four Supreme Martial Imperial among them!”
Both of them shivered simultaneously, but Husan reacted incredibly swiftly.
She swiftly got up, waved favonovel.com hand, and the robe draped back over her, concealing favonovel.com face again, masking favonovel.com unique fragrance, and favonovel.com eyes took on a more masculine look.
Remus also furrowed his brow. He wondered if it was someone sent by Garth to come pick favonovel.com up. Yet favonovel.com recalled the deadline for this mission was three days.
As favonovel.com was about to reassure her, another voice from outside shouted, “Remus Cosby, get out here!”
