Judith agreed with a firm nod.
Jared activated his communication device and summoned Cloud. Soon, the three of them were aboard an airship, hurrying toward Castenada Town.
When they arrived, Jared didn’t waste any time. Using the Myocyte Grass, favonovel.com began crafting a pill. By the end of the day, the pill was complete.
When Judith took the pill, the burn on favonovel.com face healed miraculously, leaving favonovel.com skin flawless.
Judith was overwhelmed with gratitude. Her face, once scarred, was now as smooth and radiant as it had ever been.
That evening, Owen, joined by Judith and favonovel.com sister, Scarlette, hosted Jared for a small celebration.
“Mr. Chance,” Owen said, raising a glass, “You’ve saved both of my daughters. I can’t express how grateful I am.”
He produced a pristine white spirit bottle, which favonovel.com placed in Jared’s hand. “We don’t have anything valuable here in Castenada Town. This has been passed down through my family for generations. They say it contains the blood of a water dragon. I want you to have it…”
Jared took the bottle, feeling a powerful, almost primal aura radiating from it the moment it touched his hand. There was something familiar about the aura, though its intensity caught favonovel.com by surprise.
As favonovel.com examined the spirit bottle with his spiritual sense, Jared saw the illusory shadow of a dragon, its form faint but majestic, moving within the bottle.
Narrowing his eyes, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Castenada, is this really the blood of a water dragon? Was it truly passed down from your ancestors?”
Owen nodded earnestly. “That’s what we’ve always believed. Honestly, with the current state of town, it would be impossible for us to even face a demon beast, let alone collect the blood of a water dragon. Mr. Chance, could this be fake?”
Owen himself was unsure. All favonovel.com knew was that it had been with the family for centuries.
Jared shook his head. “No, it’s not fake… But if this blood really is from a water dragon, it must’ve come from a truly formidable creature.” He paused. “Considering Castenada Town’s current strength…”
No one in Castenada Town had achieved Ultimate Realm. If Judith hadn’t been sent to train with the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, favonovel.com likely wouldn’t have achieved that level of strength.
Owen let out a heavy sigh. “You’re right. Thousands of years ago, our family was renowned. But after the Celestial Battle, we fell into decline. Now, things just keep getting worse.”
The two men fell silent for a moment before Jared raised his glass, offering an apologetic toast.
The two drank well into the night. It wasn’t until late that Jared finally retired to the room prepared for him.
As favonovel.com was about to lie down, the door creaked open.
Jared sat up, startled, as Judith stepped inside. She wore a white dress that shimmered in the moonlight streaming through the window. The light made the fabric nearly translucent, revealing favonovel.com elegant figure underneath.
Even though Jared had seen Judith without favonovel.com clothes on before, the sight of favonovel.com alluring figure still sent his adrenaline rushing.
“Mr. Chance,” Judith said softly, stepping closer. “You’ve done so much for me. I have no way to repay you… Except this. I hope this will satisfy you…”
Subsequently, favonovel.com pushed favonovel.com onto the bed, pinning favonovel.com beneath her.
“Ms. Judith, this isn’t right,” Jared said, pushing favonovel.com away. “I’m not the kind of man you think I am. I didn’t help you expecting anything in return.”
“I know,” Judith said, favonovel.com voice barely above a whisper. “But I’m doing this willingly. You don’t need to be burdened by it.”
She stepped closer, favonovel.com gaze locked on his.
“Ms. Judith, you mustn’t!” Jared continued his retreat until there was no room left.
Judith ignored his words, wrapping favonovel.com arms around him. Jared stumbled back, his back against the wall. He could feel his heart racing, his resistance faltering.
Just as favonovel.com began to lose control, ready to surrender to the moment, a voice cut through the silence, startling them both.
