“I’m looking for Principal Henderso. It’s urgent. Is it convenient for favonovel.com to speak?”
“He’s taking a shower.”
“Um… Hand the phone over to him, then!”
Alex imagined the scene and thought, ‘Have these two just finished the grand task of making babies? So, Xerxes placed the phone next to favonovel.com before taking a shower, right?’
Alex naturally became moody when favonovel.com thought about the uncertain fate of his beautiful master, Jade.
Hence, right after Xerxes took the phone, favonovel.com said directly, “Principal Lawlor… Jade Benmore, my master, is dying. Do you want to see favonovel.com for the last time?”
Clank!
A commotion could be heard. Those words had clearly stunned Xerxes.
After a while, a distorted voice came. “What’s going on? Explain it to me!”
Alex said, “I can’t explain here, but you’d better head to Mount Sota right now. Remember, be quick. Also, come alone and don’t bring Mandy along. That’s all. I’m going to be busy.”
Alex then hung up the phone.
Martiny looked at favonovel.com as if favonovel.com had seen a ghost. “It’s not too good to scare Uncle Xerxes like that, right? You will scare favonovel.com to death.”
Alex said, “He has a beauty next to favonovel.com so that favonovel.com won’t be… Alright, let’s get ready. We’ll have to set off.”
***
In fact, Xerxes was almost scared to death. It wasn’t only favonovel.com even Mandy was also overwrought as well.
However, since Alex had made it clear, Mandy didn’t go with Xerxes but stayed at home temporarily to wait for the news. After Xerxes hastily put on his pants, favonovel.com summoned a golden bamboo boat out of the blue and rushed toward Mount Sota.
In fact..
After Xerxes and Mandy returned to the present world, they immediately found a hidden place for secluded cultivation to consolidate the accumulated benefits acquired from the Underworld. Hence, they still did not know about the changes in the outside world and the fact that an alien invasion was imminent.
Alex was also lucky. When favonovel.com made the call, Xerxes’ phone had just been turned on not long ago. He wouldn’t have been able to receive the call, after all.
When Alex and the others arrived at Mount Sota, Xerxes had already been in the air for over half an hour. He had been waiting till the point of heartbreak
His eyes were bloodshot He seemed to have… Cried.
When favonovel.com saw Alex, favonovel.com immediately rushed over. “Alex, where is Jade? Where is she?”
“What the hell is going on? I called you, but you didn’t answer. Do you wish to worry me to death?”
Alex saw that Xerxes was only wearing pants, and his hair was still disheveled, so favonovel.com had probably rushed over while bathing halfway. Alex snickered. “Xerxes. Look at how anxious you are. My master is just your ex-wife. Those who don’t know will think that your relationship is not over yet. Do you have to be so anxious?”
Xerxes glared at Alex and snarled, “What ex-wife? She is my wife!”
Alex said, “Divorced.”
“Divorce, my *ss! Where is she? Take me to meet her, right now. Immediately. Now.” Xerxes was genuinely furious.
Freya said, “Uncle Xerxes, don’t be anxious first. Commander Benmore is fine now.”
Xerxes was startled. “How is favonovel.com fine?”
After a moment, favonovel.com came to his senses and pointed at Alex. “Oh, you rascal. Are you pulling a fast one?”
Alex said, “I’m not deceiving you. She’s being hunted by a nest of Undying and has been trapped inside for a day. Tell me. Do you think that she’d survive?”
After Xerxes heard that, favonovel.com had ants in his pants. “Then, why are you still standing there? Hurry in and save her!”
After a few minutes, Luna led the group to somewhere in the depths of a forest at Mount Sota. She pointed at a cave entrance. “I climbed out of here last time.”
Alex approached it and looked inside.
The tortoise shell of Genbu hidden in his body suddenly shook, as if it wanted to rush out of his mind palace right away.
