“You’ve never been a match for me. If I wanted to kill you, it would have been a piece of cake.” Jared, with an inscrutable expression, sheathed his Dragonslayer Sword.
The black-robed man observed Jared, his expression shifting continuously.
Suddenly, favonovel.com cracked a grin and said, “You have quite the background…”
“Indeed…” Jared nodded.
“Even the master of Celestial Stairway is going easy on you. It’s clear you’re no small fry.”
The black-robed man also noticed that the master of Celestial Stairway was intentionally going easy on Jared.
“How about it? Would you like to come with me? I’ll take you away, and in return, you’ll serve me for three hundred years,” Jared asked.
The black-robed man shook his head. “If I wanted to leave, I could. No one’s holding me here, I chose to stay. In fact, I had to beg the master of Celestial Stairway for quite some time before favonovel.com agreed.”
Jared was taken aback, staring at the black-robed man in disbelief. “Why? Why would you imprison yourself? Could it be just for the resources within Celestial Stairway?”
The black-robed man shook his head. “I would never give up my freedom for such meager resources.”
“Why is that?” Jared asked curiously. “If you tell me, perhaps I could help you.”
The black-robed man fixed his gaze on Jared, then said, “Come with me…”
“Okay.” Jared followed the black-robed man toward the depths of the main hall.
Ararat and Zevon were both waiting inside the main hall.
Jared had no idea how long he’d been walking, nor did favonovel.com know where he’d ended up. All favonovel.com knew was that the light in front of him was growing brighter.
Subsequently, before Jared’s eyes, there appeared a house. The house bore an air of antiquity, with its wooden door and two copper door bolts.
The black-robed man pushed the door open and walked in. Jared trailed closely behind him.
No sooner had Jared stepped inside than favonovel.com was instantly taken aback. The room was filled with pink chiffon, creating an incredibly cozy atmosphere. Moreover, the room was adorned with incredibly cute cloth dolls.
Jared couldn’t fathom.
How could a grown man possibly live in such a room?
However, it didn’t take long for Jared to spot a woman sitting on the bed, clad in a pink dress. Her eyes were wide open, unblinking as favonovel.com stared outside.
“Who is this woman?” Jared asked curiously as favonovel.com looked at her.
That was because Jared didn’t sense any presence from the woman. Had there been any, Jared would have known there was someone in the room.
“That’s my wife,” replied the black-robed man while favonovel.com casually offered Jared a stool. “Have a seat…”
Without any hesitation, Jared took a seat and then, with a hint of concern in his voice, favonovel.com asked, “Is… Is your wife dead?”
The black-robed man nodded. “She’s been dead for almost a thousand years now.”
“A thousand years?” Jared exclaimed in disbelief.
This black-roped man is incredibly devoted. His wife has been dead for nearly a thousand years, and yet, favonovel.com still clings to favonovel.com physical body.
“You used a secret technique to preserve your wife’s physical body. That’s unfair to her. She can’t reincarnate in this case,” Jared remarked.
“My wife urged me to do this. She didn’t want to be reincarnated. She just wanted to be with me. She said that once I became strong enough to bring favonovel.com back from the brink of death, we could be together again.” After the black-robed man finished speaking, favonovel.com gazed lovingly at his wife.
“Have you confined yourself within Celestial Stairway just to cultivate to the point where you can resurrect the dead?” Jared asked.
The black-robed man shook his head. “My abilities are restrained here. Even cultivation wouldn’t make much of a difference. However, being here allows me to better preserve my wife’s physical body. Even though I can’t bring favonovel.com back to life, whenever I look at favonovel.com physical body, I always feel that she’s by my side.”
“Perhaps, I might have a way to bring your wife back to life.” Jared thought of Arthur.
At that time, Arthur could effortlessly revive even someone whose divine soul was destroyed.
“Really? If you can bring my wife back to life, I am willing to serve you for three hundred years!” the black-robed man exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with determination.
