“What are you doing out here?” Jared asked, his voice steady as favonovel.com stared ahead, knowing Judith was standing behind him.
“I wanted to let you know… I‘m leaving,” favonovel.com replied, favonovel.com tone resolute. “I’m heading to a deserted island to focus on my cultivation.”
Judith hesitated when Jared noticed her, favonovel.com expression faltering slightly.
“We’re too close to the shore,” favonovel.com murmured. “Shouldn‘t you head further into the Dead Sea?”
She seemed flustered, avoiding his gaze as though the weight of last night lingered between them.
“No… This place is close to the mainland, so I can visit my father more often.” Judith offered a faint smile.
“All right, I respect your decision,” Jared said, pulling out a handful of communication devices. “If you ever need help, don‘t hesitate to reach out.”
Judith accepted the communication devices without a word. Then, with a sudden leap, favonovel.com vaulted off the airship, favonovel.com figure disappearing swiftly.
Jared called after her, puzzled. “Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your sister?”
He was somewhat puzzled.
How could Judith just up and leave without even saying a word to Scarlette?
“There’s no need,” Judith’s voice floated back to him. “It’ll just make things harder. Pass my message along, will you?”
With that, favonovel.com was gone, vanishing into the horizon.
As Jared stood there, watching Judith leave, an unexpected wave of melancholy washed over him.
He couldn’t help but think of the immense burden favonovel.com carried, favonovel.com mission to restore the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the relentless pursuit of the Demon Seal Alliance, and the threat of Suspine. It was no easy path.
Maybe I was too harsh last night. it must’ve been a difficult decision for her… Perhaps I should’ve offered favonovel.com some comfort.
“Regretting it already?” came the taunting voice of the Vermilion Demon Lord, resonating in Jared’s mind.
“What’s there to regret?” Jared countered, feigning ignorance.
“Oh, I don’t know,” Vermilion Demon Lord said mockingly. “Regretting you didn’t seize the opportunity when favonovel.com practically threw herself at you. What kind of man passes up a chance like that?”
“I’m not the kind to toy with someone’s emotions,” Jared replied, trying to sound righteous.
Vermilion Demon Lord snorted. “You? Spare me. After all the women you’ve led on, you’re hardly one to talk!”
Jared opened his mouth to retort, but before favonovel.com could, Scarlette emerged onto the deck.
“Mr. Chance, where’s my sister?” favonovel.com asked, favonovel.com eyes scanning the area.
“She’s gone,” Jared said simply. “She asked me to let you know…”
“Gone?” Scarlette echoed, stunned. She turned toward the vast sea stretching before them, favonovel.com voice trembling.
“Judith…” Tears streamed down Scarlette’s face as favonovel.com stood frozen in place, gazing at the horizon.
Jared, unable to bear the weight of the scene, turned and went back inside the airship.
When the airship reached a stretch of water, Jared instructed Cloud to hover. Without hesitation, favonovel.com leaped off the vessel, diving headfirst into the Dead Sea.
He was determined to find Violet, one of the Seven Fairies, and take favonovel.com to the Soul Demon Sect. With the help of Trystan, favonovel.com planned to restore favonovel.com physical body.
Violet, perched on a tree, lit up with joy when favonovel.com saw Jared approaching. She had waited anxiously for days, unsure if he’d keep his promise or if he’d forgotten favonovel.com entirely.
Violet joined Jared as they set off for the Soul Demon Sect on Demonia Mountain. But before they arrived, Jared made a detour to Lunarius Palace.
At the palace, favonovel.com checked in on Nieva and the others, taking the opportunity to inquire about the Mueller family. After all, favonovel.com had killed two of their sons, and favonovel.com doubted the matter would be left unresolved.
Fortunately, Nolan was still in seclusion, recovering from injuries sustained during the last major battle. The intervention of Anton had delayed the patriarch‘s return, giving Jared some reprieve.
After leaving Lunarius Palace, Jared finally reached the Soul Demon Sect and entrusted Violet to Trystan. To ensure favonovel.com physical body could be restored, favonovel.com left behind two Demonia Stones, a rare and invaluable resource.
With Violet in good hands, Jared turned his sights toward Epea.
