Chapter 1201-1250


    Chapter 1201


    “Master Mason, what do you mean by bringing all these people?”


    When the Chief of Windfall Pavilion arrived at the square, his face immediately sank to the deepest


    bottom of the abyss. He did not expect the head of the White branch family—Mason White—to bring


    over elders and experts of grandmaster level.


    He knew by heart that the people in the White branch family had not dared to fight against them all this


    while. Unless the White had a certain degree of confidence and certainty that they would win the fight.


    Moreover, he knew extremely well that the main White family had never seemed to care about this


    matter at all, hence dared not act recklessly andunch attacks at them.


    Besides, what frightened the other party the most was once they fought against the Windfall Pavilion;


    their loss would be so great that it would affect the whole White branch family. It was not worth it at all.


    The only thing that the Chief of Windfall Pavilion did not foresee was that Mason had brought someone


    with him today.


    Mason snorted frostily. He pped his hands as a signal.


    Without warning, several men of the White branch family stepped out from the crowd and threw the


    heads of Patronum Lanich and the gang onto the ground.


    “You…”


    The Chief of Windfall Pavilion’s face immediately went white as though all color drained out of his face.


    “Master Mason, what do you mean by this? How could you simply kill our men? And I don’t remember


    any of us have robbed you recently!” The Chief hissed angrily.


    “Master Mason, don’t think that we’d be afraid of you! We drink blood like the vampires; we’re not


    ordinary men and certainly not afraid of shedding blood! And our overallbat prowess is no worse


    than yours!”


    Several elders of the Windfall Pavilion huffed and puffed.


    “Oh, let me tell you. Today at the bottom of the mountain, near our vige, your people robbed our elder’s


    wife and daughter and even tried to force them both to…”


    Mason sneered with an angry smile hanging on his face. “You people are getting bolder and bolder;


    you’ve crossed the impassable line! Today is yourst day on the earth!”


    “You’re gonna exterminate us? Heh! Funny! It’s easier to brag, isn’t it?”


    The Chief of Windfall Pavilionughed sarcastically at Mason’s statement. He then balled his fists, and a


    layer of chi energy enclosed his fists, vibrating vigorously. He swung his fist and sted toward Mason.


    Nevertheless, at this time, jackie moved like a thunderbolt and stood in front of Mason. He sted his fist


    against the Chiefs.


    A loud thud rang. The seemingly simple punch made a terrifying collision, and the next scene was the


    Chief of Windfall Pavilion flying several meters backward.


    It was thirty meters worth of strength. The Chief of Windfall Pavilion dropped onto the ground, his throat


    twitched, and a mouthful of warm red liquid spurted out of his mouth—blood.


    “You…who the h*ll are you? You have the strength of a true god level, how is that possible? Such


    combat strength…you’re already at the middle stage of the true god realm, am I right?”


    After testing out jackie’s true strength, terror thundered down upon the Chief. No wonder… No wonder


    Mason and the others would dare toe up the mountain and announce the extermination of the


    Windfall Pavilion. The White family did actually possess such a strong and powerful force.


    “Who am I? It doesn’t matter anymore!”


    jackie smiled ndly before he slowly spewed a few more words. “You only have to know that, from


    today onward, your life belongs to me!”


    “Kill them all and leave this fe to me!”


    After thest word of his sentence dropped, jackie waved his hand and gave the order.


    Chapter 1202


    “Holy moly! A strength of the middle stage of the true god realm? That’s too..”


    Several great fighters of the Windfall Pavilion’s faces slowly became unsightly after hearing the Chief’s


    words.


    In fact, the Chief of Windfall Pavilion had always reminded them that since the White branch family was


    in close vicinity to them, it would be eptable if they snatched some of their resources, but they should


    not cross the boundaries and kill any of them. If they had really angered the other party and the other


    party decided to fight against them, they would not at all be their opponents.


    The Chief believed that if it was merely some petty snatches and robs, Mason and his people would


    endure.


    On the contrary, for several other families, if they were out to hunt for the resources and materials, the


    people of Windfall Pavilion could act rougher and more reckless toward them. Once the men of Windfall


    Pavilion finds out that the other party was alone or was a group of juniors, they would rob them


    mercilessly. After all, several other families did not even know where the Windfall Pavilion was. Hence,


    even if they wanted to avenge their people, it was not easy to do so.


    The Chief of the Windfall Pavilion did not expect at all that Patronum Lanich and the others had targeted


    an elder of the White branch family. If this were not asking for a death wish, what would it be then?


    The Chief of Windfall Pavilion’s face became paler and paler once he thought of it. “Hold up!” He


    extended his arm in a panic and gestured a stop sign with his palm.


    The men of the White branch family were just about to charge toward them but halted when they heard


    the Chief’s words.


    The Chief stood up from the ground and paced toward jackie. He bowed before jackie and said, “Sir, I


    don’t understand. I have not offended you at all, why did you help the White branch family? Even if it’s


    one of my people who made a mistake that they shouldn’t have, you don’t have to intervene in this


    matter, right?”


    He knew by rote that, in general, such a powerful person did not like to meddle in nosy matters. Hence,


    he truly could not fathom the other party’s behavior at all. Why would a martial artist with a strength of


    true god-level intervene?


    Without waiting for jackie to further exin, Mason stood out and spoke aloud, “Munro Quinn, do you


    f*cking have any idea who he is? He is the heir of the White family head and the Young Master of the


    main White family! Now you tell me, does he have the right to take care of this matter?”


    “Young Master?”


    Munro gasped at the answer. “The Young Master of the White family is already this powerful? Hisbat


    prowess and strength are more powerful than some elders, am I right?”


    “I’m only at the early stage of the true god realm. However, it’s not hard for me to kill you!”


    jackie gave a wan smile and said in an emotionless tone.


    Munro was rendered speechless. The strength of a fighter in the early stage of the true god realm could


    st him away so easily and injure him that much? He was at the early stage of the true god realm, too!


    Moreover, he had stayed at that level for almost three years and could be considered as a strong fighter


    of the early stage of the true god realm! This was also why the White branch family had not dared to act


    rashly and went against them, though they had many men.


    Obviously, the young man before him acquired the ability to kill every single life of the Windfall Pavilion.


    What a terrifying existence!


    “Hold on!”


    Munro immediately stretched out his hand and showed a stop sign. His face was ashen and his blood


    froze in his veins—he was inplete terror. “My men had made a huge mistake. It’s also true that I


    didn’t discipline them well. But both the White branch family and Windfall Pavilion are located so close to


    each other; we can be considered as living in the same neighborhood, and we should live peacefully and


    help each other, right? How about this, I’ll send you some spirited grass and resources, and we’ll call it a


    wrap to this matter?” Munro proposed in a trembling voice.


    “Heh, it’s toote!”


    jackieughed. “You still have the nerve to talk about the neighborhood? When you bullied my men in the


    past, why didn’t you say you were a neighbor and that we should live peacefully and help each other


    out?”


    jackie gripped the ck fine sword tightly, and ayer of chi energy enclosed the sword. He swept the


    sword and shouted, “Big Wave Hits!”


    Like magic, waves of sword aura coalesced out of jackie’s sword. The sword aura went straight ahead


    with formidable strength and horrendous power.


    Most of these waves of sword aura, under the control of jackie’s chi control ability, went straight to


    Munro. A small portion of these waves was sent directly toward several strong fighters of the Windfall


    Pavilion who were in front of him.


    Chapter 1203


    “Sh*t. What do we do in the face of a fighter who’s of the true god status?”


    Someone was so shocked that all the color leached from his face. For a grandmaster or someone of the


    demi-god status, there was no way to beat someone of the true god status. His aura alone had this much


    power, and it was difficult for them to close in on him.


    An old man flipped his palm and took out an object that resembled a small tortoiseshell. He imbued in


    with his chi, and the tortoiseshell emanated a sh of light before growing in size.


    That thing was actually a shield.


    The old man raised the shield before him and heaved an internal sigh of relief.


    “You actually had a treasure like that!”


    Munro went speechless when he saw it. Logically speaking, he should have gotten a treasure like that.


    He never thought that the old man would actually stash it away for himself. If not for the peril they were


    in, the old man would probably have never taken it out—and Munro would never have known that such a


    treasure existed.


    An attacknded on the shield and nced off; not a single scratch was left on the tortoiseshell.


    Still, that powerful attack sent him stumbling a few meters backward before he regained his footing.


    As for the fellows around him, although they had quickly demonstrated their martial skills, they still


    crumbled like paper before jackie’s attack, and they were all killed.


    The old man took the scene in and loosened a breath. Fortunately, he had the luck to obtain such a


    treasure—which could change its size as well. It made it convenient for him to kept it hidden. He would


    have been killed over it otherwise.


    Munro was displeased because his First Elder had hidden such a treasure, but he did not have the


    liberty to give it much thought right now. Most of jackie’s attacks were being directed at him.


    “Damn!”


    When he saw the attack, his expression tightened and he threw a fist out. A giant python manifested


    from the chi that coalesced in his body.


    After the python appeared, it roared and charged toward the waves of the sword auras.


    Munro quickly constructed a thin, protective bubble of chi around him to keep himself safe right after he


    threw that attack out. Only then did he feel a little more rxed. He believed that he would be able to


    withstand jackie’s attack then.


    After all, his attack was considered a pretty high-level skill—one that was second-grade elementary. It


    could be said to be his trump card.


    A resounding explosion tore through the air. He never thought that his python was already starting to


    crumble beneath jackie’s attack, although a few seconds had not even passed. It was going to disappear


    soon.


    “No way. It onlysted for so long?”


    Munro’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he was so shocked that he did not know what to say. At


    least thirty or forty percent of jackie’s attacks were being directed somewhere else, yet he still was not


    able to withstand the attacks, even after using a second-grade elementary martial skill!


    “I have to hold on!”


    Munro told himself that, but he already sensed that day might be his veryst. That punk was far too


    strong for him.


    Chapter 1204


    “I have to hold on!”


    Munro was repeating the same phrase to himself inside, however, not even one second before he


    repeated the phrase, everything copsed.


    As soon as the thought of holding on was inside his mind, the giant chi python copsed and


    disappeared into thin airpletely.


    Although his python had sessfully neutralized most of jackie’s attack, the remaining attack was still


    terrifyingly powerful and strong. Itnded directly on the top of Munro’s protective bubble of chi.


    The sound of the blow was lighter than before, but Munro’s shield of chi could only withstand jackie’s


    attack for two to three seconds before itpletely crumbled and shattered into pieces.


    Even after canceling out jackie’s attack with the bubble of chi, the attack still had almost a tenth of the


    strength left, and it sted solidly on Munro’s body.


    A mouthful of blood spurted out of Munro’s mouth, and he flew backward—like a cannonball—into the


    roof of the house not far behind him, smashing a hole in the roof and falling onto the floor of the house.


    “Hmph!”


    The scene before jackie made the corner of his mouth curl upward, and in the next second, he darted


    into the house at a lighting speed.


    “He’s so fcking strong! Our Young Master is so fcking awesome! He actually killed several elite fighters in


    only one move! And I don’t think Munro can survive this time!”


    After killing a demi-god level fighter, Mason looked at jackie’s lightning speed, his eyes filled with shock


    and puzzlement.


    Before they came to the Windfall Pavilion, he was concerned whether jackie could defeat Munro, after


    all, even he himself was not confident in fighting Munro. However, unexpectedly, jackie not only injured


    him gravely but also killed several elite fighters for them.


    Now, they only had to deal with the remaining, and the job was as easy as ABC.


    It could be said that they basically only have to take care of the remaining without having to pay much of


    a price.


    Munro—who had fallen from the roof—hit the ground heavily and spewed out another mouthful of blood.


    He, who was already injured from the previous attack, was now even more severely injured. His face


    went white, and all possible colors were drained out of his face; his breath turned weak.


    He coughed a few times, and every cough was apanied by a mouthful of blood. He could barely


    support himself to stand up.


    The third daughter of the Cabello family managed to stand up from the bed. Her limbs were tied up, so


    she could only hop off the bed andnded on the floor. She tried to muster her chi energy to break the


    rope.


    However, only then did she realize that the Chi Dispersing Pill that Munro had given her was too strong


    and effective, making it impossible for her to mobilize and gather her chi energy in her body.


    ording to what Munro had told her before, this strange pill wouldst for three days; one who


    swallowed it could not control the chi energy in his or her body—whenever one tried to mobilize the chi


    energy, it would immediately dissipate. Moreover, if one repeatedly tried to forcefully coagte the chi


    energy in the body, he or she would experience some severe damage to their bodies.


    Just when the Third Young Mistress Cabello was in despair, Munro fell down from the roof and plopped


    onto the floor not far below her feet.


    “Great, you son of a b*tch! You deserve it!”


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello felt a sudden re of joy inside her, but soon some thought popped up


    in her mind. “Strange! When I was captured, nobody from the Cabello family had witnessed it. Could it be


    that someone identally saw it, informed my father of it, and then my father brought people to rescue


    me?” She babbled happily.


    When the thought process came to this point, she quickly shook her head to deny it, feeling that it was


    simply impossible. She was captured and brought there not too long ago, and the Cabello family was in a


    ce where it was almost impossible for themoners to locate, not to mention that the distance to


    that ce was far. Even if the Cabello family knew about the kidnap, they would at least need ten days to


    come to her rescue.


    Chapter 1205


    Therefore, the rescuer was obviously not from the Cabello family.


    “Don’t tell me it’s another group of bandits who set their eyes on them?”


    Instantly, the Third Young Mistress Cabello’s heart thumped at this possibility.


    After all, no matter if the brigands were from the Windfall Pavilion or any other gang, they were all bad


    people. The phenomenon of a big fish swallowing a small fish—the strong bullying the weak—was


    common among groups of bandits.


    It looked like this time there must be another group of mountain banditsing to rob the Windfall


    Pavilion.


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello’s thoughts ran wild within these few minutes, her heart was uneasy


    and her fear spiked. After all, she had the most good-looking face among the three daughters of the


    Cabello family, though her sisters were beautiful. Furthermore, several other young masters of the


    shadow families were fond of her and wanted to pursue after her.


    If such a good-looking woman were to fall into the hands of another stronger group of bandits, it was


    highly likely that she would be captured to be the wife of the chief of bandits.


    She was in despair and could not even escape from the hand of the Chief of the Windfall Pavilion, what


    more a stronger and more powerful bandit? She would not even have the slightest chance to escape.


    At this time, a figure dashed into the room and stood not far from her.


    When the other party noticed her presence, the other party did not make any move but studied her.


    jackie’s eyes lit up slightly when he saw the beauty before him. The beautiful woman before his eyes was


    indeed very fascinating and alluring. Her look was somewhat perfect, and her body was even more


    indescribable. That beauty could definitelypete against Selena and the result was hard to say.


    jackie’s heart had actually pounded a little faster than usual at this moment.


    “You, you, don’te over! I warn you, you won’t get me! I am the third daughter of the Cabello family,


    and the Cabellos are strong and prominent! I’m warning you, if…if you dare to bully me, you’re dead


    meat. My father will find you and kill you even if you’ve hidden underground!”


    Seeing jackie staring at her attentively, the Third Young Mistress Cabello was even more frightened. She


    stammered, trying her very best to use her tied-up feet to move backward.


    jackie woke up from her beauty, then he walked indifferent toward Munro, stopped in front of him, and


    stabbed his sword into Munro’s chest emotionlessly.


    When the Third Young Mistress Cabello saw that jackie killed Munro without blinking his eyes, she was


    so done for; she could feel nothing but blind terror.


    If she had known it earlier, she would not be stubborn and sneaked out to search for treasure. She felt


    confident about her fighting prowess and martial status and wanted toe to the maind to search


    for treasure. She longed for the excitement and fun, but little did she know that she would be captured.


    “You’re the daughter of the Cabello family?”


    After jackie ended Munro’s life, he paced toward Third Young Mistress Cabello slowly.


    “Yes, yes, I’m the third young mistress of the Cabello family! My father likes me the most! You this


    b*stard bandit, don’te near me! Don’t you dare take advantage of me!”


    The young mistress was scared to death in her heart, but she still clenched her teeth and tried her best


    to threaten jackie.


    “Bandit?”


    jackie was rendered speechless. “Take a good look at me, do I look like another bandit?”


    Only then the Third Young Mistress Cabello studied jackie in detail, she then huffed, “Hmph! You’re either


    a bandit or a brigand and neither of them are good people! Don’t think you can cheat me just because


    you’re good-looking! You bandit, none of you are good!”


    Now, jackie waspletely tongue-tied. He shook his head helplessly and approached the other party


    slowly.


    “Don’t you daree near!” She shouted. “You…what are you doing? I have a good reputation, if you


    dare to ruin me, I…I’ll not spare you even when I be a ghost in the future!”


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello was so scared that she tried to move backward quicker, however, she


    seemed to have forgotten that her legs were all tied up. She wanted to move swiftly but her tied-up feet


    did not allow, instead, she plopped back onto the ground.


    Chapter 1206


    jackie did not bother at all to pay attention to the Third Young Mistress Cabello who just fell heavily onto


    the ground, instead, he continued walking toward her and aimed the sword in his grip at her.


    “No, don’t!”


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello thought that this would be herst day. Her brows puckered together,


    she closed her eyes and shouted with all her strength.


    Unfortunately, the Third Young Mistress Cabello had guessed wrongly. jackie flickered the sword in his


    grip, and the next second the rope that she was tied up in, snapped.


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello soon felt that the rope seemed to have loosened, only then did she


    open one of her eyes to peep. jackie had cut the rope.


    “You…you’re not going to kill me?”


    The Third Young Mistress Cabello breathed a huge sigh of relief, but soon her face sank again, “Wait,


    you must have known that I took the Chi Dispersing Pill and knew that I couldn’t control the chi energy in


    my body to defend myself! That’s why you cut the rope and let go of me, right?” She assumed. “Let me


    tell you straight, this beautiful body you’re looking at right now, you’re not getting it!”


    jackie was once again at a loss for words. “First of all, I’m neither a bandit nor brigand. Secondly, I’m


    married and have a four-year-old daughter. Although you’re good-looking, I’ve no interest in you at all.”


    jackie exined with a bitter smile on his face.


    He studied the other party, paused for a moment before saying, “Count yourself lucky today to have met


    me, otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll end up as the wife of the head of brigands. Hehe, now leave, you’re


    freed!”


    “You, what you say is true?”


    Color of disbelief and puzzlement was stered on the Third Young Mistress Cabello’s face. Did she


    really misunderstand this man before her and mistaken him as some sort of bad guy? Was he not a bad


    guy?


    “Young Master jackie, great news! We’ve defeated them all! All of us are well except for a few people


    who suffered an injury. What a great victory!”


    At this point in time, the sound of battling outside the house had stopped, and Mason bolted in excitedly.


    However, he quickly noticed the beautiful woman in front of him, then he asked, “Who is this woman?


    And why are there ropes on the ground? Damn, that mother*cker Munro hid a girl here?”


    “This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family. I don’t know how she got caught. Anyway, she


    was saved in time.”


    jackie let out a bitterugh and exined.


    “The Cabello family? Young Master jackie, aren’t we on bad terms with the Cabello family? The Cabellos


    alwayspete and fight against us. How about we kill this Third Young Miss? The head of the Cabello


    family will not know it anyway. He’d only think that his daughter was killed by these brigands!”


    Mason quickly thought of something and proposed to jackie, smilingly.


    “Nah, although we have some unpleasant episodes with the Cabello family, all those episodes are rather


    minor. If we really kill the daughter of the Cabello family, then the problem will be bigger and


    graver!”


    jackie smiled gently and said to the Third Young Mistress Cabello, “Miss Cabello, you’re free to leave!”


    “Now I finally know, you’re the Young Master of the White family!”


    Danie Cabello smiled faintly and asked, “You’re the young master of the White branch family here?


    Your talent is amazingly good! I thank you for saving me this time… So, may I leave now?”


    “What? This…”


    Mason stepped forward, wanting to tell the other party that this gentleman was the heir of the family head


    of the main White family.


    However, he was quickly held back by a sign from jackie. jackie held out his hand, signaling him not to


    utter further, thus, Mason immediately had his mouth shut tightly.


    “This…? What?”


    Danie frowned and puzzled slightly.


    Mason returned with an awkward smile. “Well, I wanted to say that this time it was the White family who


    saved you, so don’t you ever forget our kind gesture!”


    Danie bobbed her head and replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell my father about this. And I’ll let


    our people pay more attention in the future and not to collide with the White family anymore!”


    After Danie finished her sentence, she looked at jackie again and smiled, “I’m sorry that I’ve


    misunderstood you before this. Will—will you forgive me?”


    Chapter 1207


    “Heh. I never thought much about it because I’m not that kind of person!”


    jackie gave a wan smile and wheeled around, stalking off.


    Astonishment shed across Danie’s eyes as she watched his silhouette.


    Many men fawned over her looks. The masters from the Cabello family and other families all mored to


    catch a glimpse of her.


    That man was no brigand, but logically speaking, he should have at least asked for her name or show


    some semnce of attraction toward her. Yet he just turned around and left. Dissatisfaction roiled in her.


    She quickly chased after him. “Hey, aren’t you curious what my name is?” she said to jackie.


    jackie turned his head to look at her. “Why should I?” he replied impassively.


    “I…”


    Danie was furious. The man waspletely clueless. Did he not consider trying to show some interest


    in a beauty like her?


    She rolled her eyes at him. “I’m Danie,” she said. “You?”


    “Oh. My name is jackie!”


    After he said that, he walked out. At this moment, the White family members were sorting through their


    war trophies.


    “Young Master, this is a true treasure. You must take it!”


    The First Elder ran over happily, thrusting an object that resembled a tortoiseshell toward jackie.


    “Yes. You must have this. We would not have been victorious if not for you today!”


    Mason quickly said.


    “Thank you!”


    jackie smiled and took the object. He flipped his palm and kept it in his martial ring.


    “We’ll burn the corpses along with this houseter! Let’s take the war trophies and head back before we


    do the cleaning up!”


    jackie announced after thinking about it.


    Danie was stunned speechless when she saw this. Who on earth was this man? Was he a young


    master from the main family of the White family? Why would the fighters from the branch families all


    listen to him otherwise?


    After considering it carefully, she felt sure that this was the case. No way that he would be so strong if he


    were not from the main family—he would not have been able to kill Munro.


    “Why haven’t you left yet?”


    After everyone had cleaned up the corpses, jackie noticed that Danie was still standing nearby. A


    crease formed between his brows. The White family did not have good rtions with the Cabello family.


    He did not want to show the slightest bit of weakness.


    “Why so fierce?”


    Danie grew even more speechless when jackie seemed impatient. Never mind that he did not try to


    butter her up, and now he was trying to chase her away? Never had she suffered such humiliation


    before.


    She shot him a re. “I’m not leaving. I’ll be staying at the White family’s ce for two or three more


    days!” she said.


    jackie was internally speechless; his expression soured. “Miss Danie Cabello, am I correct? I saved


    you because you so happened to be there. It was an ident. Never mind that you don’t wish to return


    the favor, but why do you want to stay here? You’re stepping out of your boundaries.”


    “Can’t a beauty like me want to stay a few days at the White family’s ce? You really don’t know how to


    prune a rose when you see one. I’ve no idea how someone like you found a wife!”


    Danie folded her arms across her chest, speaking indignantly.


    Chapter 1208


    When Mason heard this, he grinned at jackie. “Young Master jackie, she said it herself—you truly don’t


    know how to recognize a rose,” he said. “Since you saved her in such a dashing manner, of course, she


    has an interest in you now. How cruel of you to reject her request so outrightly!”


    Another elder from another branch family also chipped in, “That’s right. You two look as though you were


    a match made in heaven. Just agree with her request. The third daughter of the Cabello family is famed


    for her beauty. How could you decline her just like that?”


    Danie’s cheeks reddened as the two spoke that way. She rolled her eyes at Mason. “What are you


    talking about? I have no other way out, okay? I won’t have ess to my chi for these few days, since I


    ate those Chi Dispersing Pills. If I run into any danger while I’m alone, I won’t be able to fight back at all.”


    Here, Danie paused before she continued, “That’s why I must stay at your ce for two or three days.


    I’ll leave once my chies back!”


    “Chi Dispersing Pills?”


    jackie frowned. “I never thought that such a pill would exist. It’s my first time hearing of it.”


    “Oh, it’s here, Young Master!”


    Mason quickly took out one such pill from his martial ring and gave it to jackie.


    jackie quickly discovered a counter pill’s prescription, as well as a small pill furnace. “I never thought that


    Munro would have gotten this. It’s a first-grade elementary pill, but this pill cane in handy. It’s a


    wonderful product!”


    “Really? That man actually knew alchemy. Not everyone can do that. I never thought that Munro knew all


    this!”


    Mason could not help but eximed after he heard that.


    “Hah. I’ll be keeping the prescription and the pill furnace. It’ll be useful for me!”


    jackieughed. Being able to obtain such items was indeed a propitious incident.


    Furthermore, the shield that resembled a tortoiseshell from before seemed pretty good too. However,


    jackie would only determine how precious it truly was once he had the time to study it properly at home.


    “Hah. Just take it if you like it, Young Master. The pills and the pill furnace are useless to us.”


    Masonughed. At that moment, the house on the opposite side began to catch fire. The corpse of


    Munro’s men burned along with it.


    After all the corpse had been cleared, jackie and the others head down the mountain.


    “Hey, if you’re not saying anything, I take it that you agree to let me stay at the White family’s ce for


    these few days!”


    When she saw that they were leaving, Danie quickly skipped after jackie.


    “Fine. It’s not like weck rooms!”


    jackie could not be bothered with her. This time, the White family had obtained plenty of martial


    resources. Mason and the others should be overjoyed now.


    Mason and the others still had grins stered onto their faces. Mason sang all the way down the


    mountain.


    “No way, no way. I’m tired!”


    Not long after, Danie was already tired. “All of you are martial practitioners. You all walked in a fast


    pace walk as though it were nothing. Now that I have no ess to my chi, I’m as good as a normal


    person. I don’t want to walk anymore!”


    “You don’t want to walk? Then what should we do? Don’t tell me you want me to carry you?”


    Mason stared at her. “What a pain!” he snapped.


    Chapter 1209


    “I’m not getting on your back!”


    Danie rolled her eyes at Mason. She had no inclination toward his hulky figure.


    Her eyes sidled toward jackie. She pressed her lips together. “You–you carry me down!” she said


    bashfully.


    jackie did not know whether tough or cry. However, it was true that they were making slow progress


    with her tagging along.


    He could only walk toward her, huffing. “I can carry you down, but you owe me a favor then. Got it?”


    “Got it. I’ll definitely return the favor. How could a man be so petty? It’s your privilege to be able to carry a


    beauty like me!”


    Danie scuttled toward jackie’s back and hopped on. “Let’s go, Young Master jackie!”


    “Let’s go. What are all of you staring at?”


    jackie roared when everyone was staring at him. Only then did they continue downward.


    Meanwhile, Danie’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest.


    Once she knew that he was not a brigand and that he was the young master of the White family, her


    impression of him grew more positive. It meant that he had a pretty lofty position. He could match her, at


    least.


    Danie’s mind began to wander. After all, it was the first time she had met such a handsome man who


    showed no interest in her.


    ‘He’s strong too. So much stronger than the young masters I know!’


    The more she thought about it, the more she realized how attractive jackie was. She looked at the scene


    as they trod down, her face hot. She felt that this was fate.


    “Hey, you’re a member of the White main family, right?”


    Danie rested her head against his back and asked softly.


    “Yup!”


    jackie answered as he strode down the mountain.


    “Can’t you walk a little slower? Be considerate of me.”


    Danie pursed her lips. With the uneven mountain road, hers and jackie’s body frequently bumped


    against each other. Since she never dated before, she felt extremely embarrassed.


    “You told me to carry you down. It’s a wonder I gave in to you. And now you’reining?”


    jackie did not know whether tough or cry. “You must have been spoiled in the Cabello family and rarely


    left the house,” she said. “The treasure spots, the monsters, and the martial artists of the outside world


    will never entertain your whining!”


    “You’re a psychic! I do very rarely leave the Cabello family’s house!”


    Danie smiled. “If I had never met you, I would have been a goner.”


    “Really? Then are we friends now?”


    jackie paused for a while. A scheme began to stir in his mind.


    Chapter 1210


    “Of course. You’re my savior. So I’ll definitely find a way to repay you!”


    Warmth spread in Danie’s chest. She thought of something and quickly added on: “But don’t you let


    your mind wander everywhere. I won’t repay you with my body. Hmph. Anyone who wishes to go after


    me must prove that they’re worthy. Got it?”


    “You’re really confident, aren’t you?”


    jackie did not know whether tough or cry. It was true that she was not half-bad looking, and the light


    fragrance emanating from her was intriguing, but jackie was confident in his self-restraint.


    “Hmph. I know all you men speak one thing and then think another. You’re definitely thinking of


    something, what with a beauty like me syed all over your back now!


    “I’m telling you, it’s your privilege to carry me. So many men wish to do so but don’t have the chance!”


    Danie was as proud as ever, as though she were a princess high above the clouds.


    “You’re saying that it’s my privilege to carry someone as heavy as you? Heh. I’ll be more than happy to


    get rid of this weight!”


    jackie smiled. This girl was far too cocky.


    She was pretty, but he was not the sort to butter up to nasty people.


    “You-you’re calling me fat? What are you talking about? Hmph. So many people admire my figure!”


    Danie was furious when jackie told her that she was heavy. She resisted the urge to strangle him. His


    vision must have had problems. She was a little plump in some areas, but she was not fat at all.


    After talking to her for a while, jackie popped the question: “Right. I heard that the Cabello family has a


    precious ancient tome. Something about forbidden medicine, right?


    “That’s right. How did you know? Do you know medicine?”


    Danie answered without thinking twice.


    “That’s right. I have an interest in medicine. I heard that the tome contains precious knowledge, so of


    course, I know of it. It’ll be fantastic if I got the chance to look at it!”


    jackie told Danie after he thought about it.


    “Heh. You want to take a look?”


    Danie chuckled. “I don’t even get to take a peek at it even if I wanted to. It’s currently in our First


    Elder’s possession. That old man hangs onto it as though it were his life source, always talking about


    howplex it was and how he needed to study it. He even said that it contains alchemy methods of


    crafting third and fourth-grade pills. My father and the others know about this!”


    “Third or fourth-grade pills?”


    jackie took a sharp intake of breath after he heard this. Even second-grade spirit grass was extremely


    hard to find, yet this tome contained alchemical records of third and fourth-grade pills? Did this mean that


    he was getting close to finding the mother of pills?


    Chapter 1211


    If there were third or fourth-grade pills, that meant that the third or fourth-grade spirited grass existed. If


    that was the case, where were these spirited grass? Spirited grass or pills like that would likely cause a


    person of the true god status tobust with energy. This meant that the legends of the ultimate god


    status may very well be true.


    “That’s right. My father said that the third and fourth-grade pills exist which means that the ultimate god


    status might be real.”


    Danie did not seem to have many walls around her, and she spoke easily with jackie, “That’s why the


    tome is a true treasure to the First Elder. He’d study it with every moment of spare time he has, trying to


    dissect its secrets. And sometimes he goes looking for true treasure, to see if he can find the third-grade


    spirited grass described in the tome!”


    “Have his searches been fruitful?”


    jackie’s eyes brightened when he heard that. He asked her a question.


    Danie gave a bitter smile. “Zilch. He’s got nothing to show for even after all these years. I don’t think


    the third and fourth-grade spirited grass exists. He did not find a single stalk. Perhaps someone wrote


    that tome just to y a long-running joke on future generations!”


    “I don’t think so. Your First Elder would have noticed that it was fake after studying it for so long. Besides,


    I heard that he’s pretty skilled in medicine. He’s pretty famous for alchemical research too!”


    After jackie thought about it, he spoke with firm resolution, “I believe that the ultimate god status is real.


    We cannot give up on the clues that point directly toward it!”


    “Heh. That might be a little difficult. All eight shadow families are trying to discover the path to the


    ultimate god status. Everyone thinks that there is a method to break into the ultimate god status, but no


    one has found it! And it’s been so long!


    “I think our heritage might have been lost after all these years!” Danie said.


    “It’ll be troublesome if that were the case. Once, our earth was filled with chi. Now there’s scarcely


    anything left. We won’t be able to break into the ultimate god status even if we found the right method!”


    jackie could not help but heave an internal sigh. It seemed that it would be impossible to break into the


    ultimate god realm and live for two hundred years.


    However, he could not think about this now. He needed to get that tome to see if there was a technique


    to heal Fernando.


    “That’s right. At any rate, I don’t really believe in all this talk of ‘ultimate god status’ and whatnot. Besides,


    I don’t have a high martial level, and I’m still young. I’ll leave the thinking to my father and the elders—


    especially for those who are at the peak of the true god status. They have no way to improve anymore,


    so nothing else interests them more than finding a way to break into the ultimate god realm!”


    Danie smiled and said, “But there’s no way you’re going to look at that tome. The First Elder won’t


    heed mymands even if I screech at him to take it out. He’s even the one to flip the pages for my


    father when he wants to read it!”


    “Your father needs to obtain permission from the First Elder if he wants to see it?”


    jackie frowned. “That means the First Elder has a very powerful position in your family!” he continued.


    “Of course. The First Elder is at the true god status, just like my father, and his martial skill is even


    higher. More importantly, he knows alchemy and medicine. That’s why he has even greater status in the


    Cabello family than my father. My father has to be respectful to him!”


    Danie’s voice was full of pride when she spoke of her family. “Not many families have more than one


    fighter at the peak of the true god status like the Cabello family. Even you people from the White family


    must only have one at most!”


    jackie was internally speechless when he heard that. He did not expect the Cabello family’s First Elder to


    be so powerful. It would be extremely difficult to get the tome from him.


    Chapter 1212 “The Cabello family truly is strong!”


    jackie gave a wan smile and threw the words out in a callous manner.


    Yet he was internally speechless. It was evident that the First Elder treasured the tome more dearly than


    his own children—if he had any—and wanted to find the way to break into the ultimate god realm within


    its pages. There was no way that jackie was going to be able to borrow the tome for a split second. If he


    did not even allow the third daughter of the Cabello family to take a peek at it, never mind him, a


    complete outsider.


    That was why the only way around that was to get his hand on the tome.


    Although jackie was still at the beginning stage of the true god status, he felt that it would not be a


    problem to kill someone at the intermediate stage of the true god status. He could probably give


    someone at the advanced stage of the true god status a good run for his money.


    However, the First Elder of the Cabello family was at the peak of the true god status. Even among the


    fighters who were ranked the same as him, he was outstanding. With all this considered, it was


    impossible to snatch the tome directly from him.


    Unless jackie was stronger than the old man. Only then did he have a chance.


    “Of course. The Cabello family is probably one of the top 3 strongest families among the eight shadow


    families. But the strongest still isn’t us!”


    Danie had a huge grin stered onto her face. It was evident that the Cabello family gave her a lot of


    pride.


    Soon after, they finally arrived at the residence of one of the branch families. jackie set Danie down.


    “Not bad. I thought you would have abandoned me halfway down the mountain. I didn’t expect you to


    really carry me all the way here!”


    A smile curved Danie’s lips when she saw the beads of perspiration on jackie’s forehead. Sheced


    her fingers behind her back. “Don’t tell me that you wanted to carry me for a while longer?” she said. “Is


    that why you didn’t put me down?”


    jackie was internally speechless. In order to dispel some of her worries, he had struck a conversation


    about the Cabello family—at the same time, he could understand her family’s situation a little better. As


    they spoke, they gradually came close to the vige. He was not giving her much thought, honestly.


    He gave a bitter smile. “No one would want to carry you for a while longer, with you being so heavy,” he


    replied. “I just forgot to put you down because I was talking to you. I would have dropped you at the foot


    of the mountain if I had realized it earlier!”


    “As if I’d believe you!”


    Danie rolled her eyes. “Where are you staying?” she asked bashfully. “I’ll stay in the house beside


    yours!”


    “What!”


    jackie did not know what to say. “Why do you want to follow me? Don’t tell me that you like me now? I do


    have some confidence in my charm, after all!”


    He was only joking, but his words made Danie panic. She quickly wheeled around, cheeks flushing.


    “What are you talking about? No way that I like you. There are plenty of other young masters who are


    better than you,” she said. “Hmph. I just had the impression that you’re a pretty good person, so you


    won’t get any funny thoughts. That’s why I wanted to stay beside you!”


    jackie did not know whether tough or cry. He stretched his arms. “I’ll get them to choose two talented


    youths and their branch family master in the afternoon, then I’ll be moving to another branch family


    tomorrow morning!” he said. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell the branch family members that I’ll skin anyone who


    dares toy a finger on you alive!”


    “That won’t do!”


    Chapter 1213 Unexpectedly, Danie immediately retorted, “If something happens to you and my purity


    is tainted by someone, it’ll still be a great loss to me, even if you kill that someone. Besides, not a single


    one of the lives of your branch families is worth mine. Hmph! At any rate, I’ll be tagging you around for


    these few days. I only trust you now. I’ll leave once my chi returns to me!”


    “Fine. It doesn’t matter to me anyway!”


    jackie brought her along and instructed Mason to arrange a room at the ce he was staying for


    Danie.


    In the afternoon, Mason and the others had categorized their spoils of war—including spirited grass—


    andy it before jackie, allowing him to choose whichever objects he liked.


    After he studied the items for a while, jackie only chose a few stalks of medicine that would be suited to


    make chi pills.


    “There’s plenty of spirited grass here, Young Master. Why don’t you take more?”


    Their First Elder blurted after he noticed that jackie had picked out so few items.


    “No need. I have enough!”


    jackie smiled. “Mason will be leaving for the main family. Have you selected your next house head?”


    The First Elder gave an apologetic smile. “They all chose me. So I–I have no choice but to take up the


    mantle of house head of this branch family.”


    jackie bobbed his head. “Then what about the talents? I need two names. Will you be using a fighting


    competition to decide on the champions, or do you already have obvious talents among you?”


    “We do have two clear masters in our house, Master,” Mason exined as he stepped forward. “Amos


    and Dawson. We wanted to nominate them both, but the Second Elder’s granddaughter, Nikini, still


    wants to have a martial artspetition, even though she’s not as strong as either of them… What


    should we do?”


    jackie was slightly taken aback when he heard this. “How big is the gap between them?” he asked.


    “Amos and Dawson are at the intermediate stage of the demi-god status, whereas Nikini is at the


    beginning stage of the demi-god status. Seriously, I don’t know what that girl is thinking. She’s a whole


    level lower than them but still insists on a battle to prove their position. No way that it’ll be easy for her to


    beat them. Besides, she just broke into the beginning stage of the demi-god status. That kid…”


    At this moment, a teenage girl not too far away stood up and cried out to jackie, “Young Master jackie,


    choosing masters is not solely a matter based on their current fighting skill, am I right? I won’t be


    satisfied unless we have apetition, at least. My parents also wish for me to enter the White family.


    My chance to uphold my family’s name depends on this!”


    jackie nodded his head after he heard that. “All right. We’ll have apetition since someone is


    unsatisfied with the selection criteria!”


    After he said that, he addressed the audience, “Those of you who are not satisfied may step forward as


    well to participate in the battle. Does anyone wish to pit themselves against the three of them?”


    jackie waited for a while. No one raised their voice, so he spoke to Nikini, “All right, you can choose to


    fight either Dawson or Amos. I’ll judge your potential based on the duel!”


    “Thank you, Young Master jackie!”


    Nikini’s heart leaped in delight when he agreed to her proposal. Her eyes flickered between Dawson and


    Amos. “Heh, I’ll fight you, Dawson!” she finally dered.


    Chapter 1214 “Challenge me?” Dawson White widened his eyes and was obviously not convinced.


    “Nikini White, turns out I’m not as good as Amos White in your opinion. Are you looking down on me?”


    Nikini immediately smiled in embarrassment. “No. Brother Dawson, both you and Brother Amos have


    simr fighting prowess and yourbat power is almost the same too. To be honest, I have to choose


    one even though I really don’t know which one of you to choose. Hence, I choose you!”


    Dawson red at Nikini. “Young girl, I’m sure you feel that I’m not as good as Amos and that I’m a


    weakling, right?”


    Dawson directly walked toward a slightly empty area and raised his eyebrows at Nikini provocatively. “If


    that’s the case, Sister Nikini, I will not hold back. After all, the chance of entering the White main family is


    very important for me. It’s ryed to me or my parents’ destiny!”


    “Who’s waiting for you to hold back? It’s meaningless for me to win thepetition if you’re holding


    back!” Nikini soon arrived in front of Dawson. She curled her hands into fists and Chi started surging on


    top of her fists.


    “Alright, let’s have a serious fight today!” Dawson was immediately filled with the urge to fight when he


    saw how serious Nikini was. He curled his hands into fists and the two of them soon started their battle.


    It had to be mentioned that although Nikini’s fighting prowess was much lower than her opponent’s, their


    combat powers were almost the same when they started battling.


    jackie had a decision after he observed for a while. If Nikini’s fighting prowess was slightly stable, she


    would be able to win against Dawson even if she did not enter the intermediate level of the demi-god


    stage.


    Unfortunately, Nikini had just achieved the initial stage of the demi-god level and she was not so skilled


    in the utilization of her Chi. Together with the fact that the Chi in her body was not as sufficient as that in


    Dawson’s body. Compared to Dawson, she would not be able to withstand the use of her Chi if the battle


    continued.


    “This youngdy has quite a goodbat ability, does she have the opportunity to win?” Third Young


    Mistress Cabello could not help but ask jackie. She was also stunned as she looked at the duo fighting


    aggressively.


    “She won’t be able to win! She might be able to win if they have the same fighting prowess. Sadly they


    have huge differences in their fighting prowess and she will not be able to hold it if the chi consumption


    continues!” jackie smiled bitterly and continued to speak. “The main thing is that the both of them have


    almost the same martial skills, hence she doesn’t have any advantages!”


    Danie nodded in realization after she heard this. “That’s sad!”


    Sure enough, just as jackie expected, Nikini’s forehead was covered in sweat and she seemed unable to


    withstand anymore after the both of them battled for some time.


    Finally, Nikini took a kick and she flew backward like a kite with no strings. She vomited a mouthful of


    blood and her face turned pale.


    “Nikini!” Nikini’s father could not help but sighed as his heart hurt for his daughter when he saw this.


    “Nikini, you’ve lost!” Dawson stopped and looked at Nikini, who fell on the floor, and said, “To be honest,


    you have really strongbat ability. Unfortunately, there’s no other choice as there are only two


    positions for us today and I have to fight for it!”


    Unexpectedly, Nikini petted the floor and once again flew upward. She wiped the bright-colored blood


    from her mouth as she stood there. “Haha… It’s just some attack and it’s a small wound. This is nothing


    and I’ve not admitted defeat. The battle is not over yet!”


    Nikini stepped on the floor again after she spoke and directly rushed toward Dawson’s knife.


    “Again?” Dawson was speechless. He had no idea that Nikini was so stubborn and would still want to


    battle him.


    Dawson dared not take it easy when he saw how fiercely Nikini wasing at him. He quickly curled his


    hands into fists and continued rushing forward.


    A wave of fighting noises could be heard but everybody knew clearly in their hearts that Nikini, who was


    already hurt, would not be Dawson’s opponent no matter how hard she tried.


    “My child’s father, please try to persuade Nikini!”


    Chapter 1215 Beside them, Nikini’s mother could not continue looking at them so she asked her


    husband.


    “It’s alright, she has always had this character of unwillingness to lose. I won’t persuade her on this!”


    Although he was also extremely distressed, Nikini’s father still tightened his fists and said persistently.


    “Sigh!” Nikini’s mother sighed.


    After a while, Nikini flew backward once again andid on the floor. She once again vomited blood and


    her face grew increasingly palepared to previously.


    “Nikini, admit defeat, you’re not my opponent!” Dawson also felt sorry for this young girl as he looked at


    Nikini.


    After all, they had a good rtionship between them. To search for martial enhancement material, the


    youngsters of the branch families had always been taking care of one another in that dangerous forest.


    They also grew up together and had good rtionships.


    However, they had to fight on that day for their respective futures.


    “I have not lost yet! You will not admit defeat so easily!” Nikini gritted her teeth and once again stood up.


    She curled her fists and once again rushed outward.


    However, her speed had obviously decreased and Dawson managed to easily evade her punch, instead


    he flipped his hand and pped her on her back.


    Nikini flew forward and fell face down on the floor. Blood sttered and some dirt sputtered upward.


    “This girl!” Nikini’s mother could not hold it back anymore and yelled at her. “Nikini, admit defeat, you’re


    not Dawson’s opponent.”


    “Mother… I…I can still fight!” Nikini once again stood up and still wanted to fight.


    “Enough!” At this moment, jackie actually said softly and the entire area quieted down.


    “Young Master jackie, I haven’t admitted defeat. Thispetition is not over yet!” Nikini looked at jackie


    with expectations written all over her face.


    “There’s no need to continue fighting!” jackie smiled at her before speaking loudly to the crowd. “After


    observing the battle between them, I have to say that they are all masters that are hard toe by. It’s a


    great thing for the branch families to have such great masters. I believe that they will definitely be


    masters of the true god status in the future if they are nicely groomed and trained!”


    jackie paused here before continuing to speak. “Hence, I’ve decided to add a position for this branch


    family. Dawson, Amos, and Nikini, the three of you only need to follow Patronum Mason and report


    yourselves to the main family!”


    “What! Is…Is this true?” Nikini’s parents were extremely excited and had no idea what to say.


    “Your daughter is really marvelous, I’ll give you guys another quota!” jackie nodded in satisfaction and


    said while looking at them.


    Chapter 1216 Overwhelmed with joy, Nikini’s eyes reddened as she almost cried.


    “Thank… Thank you, Young Master jackie!” muttered Nikini shakily.


    Mason, who was by their side, then chimed in, “Young Master jackie, I know that you’re kind, but isn’t this


    somewhat unfavorable? We from the branch family are facing shortage in numbers. The other branch


    families who also only have two quota will be unhappy when they see that three of our people go over.”


    Nikini’s father also frowned and solemnly added, “Yes. If this is the case, the other branch families might


    feel that this is unfair. I’m afraid that this will affect your image by then, Young Master jackie. Although


    they won’t say anything on the surface, prodigies from the branch families will definitely say something


    when theye down.”


    The initially ted Nikini bit her luscious lips as she heard Mason and her father’s opinion and thus


    spoke, “Young Master jackie, thank you for your kindness, but thinking things through, it does seem


    rather unfavorable for you. I think it’s best if I don’t go over, but I’ll strive for it when there’s a chance like


    this in the future.”


    jackie was touched when he heard this and responded with an indifferent smile, “Don’t worry. Since I’ve


    spoken about this, then it wouldn’t be a problem. So long as I feel that you’re good enough, it’s nothing to


    break the rules and increase the quota. You don’t need to worry yourselves over this matter. If the other


    branch families have prodigies with such talents, it’s not a big deal to add another quota for them. I’ll


    speak with those from the other branch families about this.”


    “Then… If that’s the case, we thank you, Young Master!” Mason immediately gestured politely to jackie


    with his hands. “You truly have thought of us kindly, Young Master jackie. We from the branch families


    will go over and beyond if you need anything, even if it needs our lives.”


    Nikini’s father gazed at jackie admiringly and excitedly.“Young Master jackie, you… you really are our


    family’s benefactor!”


    “Haha… Don’t mention anything about benefactors or what not. We’re all members of the White family,


    and we naturally can’t let good seedlings go to waste! Apart from that, if Nikini had the same fighting


    prowess as Dawson, I think that even with Dawson and Amos working together, they can’t beat her.


    Won’t it be a waste of time if I don’t bring such a good seedling to go train with the White main family


    from the start?”


    jackie chuckled and added, “After all, a youth has the best talents and understanding for training. It’s also


    the best timing for training!”


    Nikini’s mother gazed at jackie appreciatively. “Young Master jackie, can you stay a couple of days here


    with us? We’ll give you cordial hospitality.”


    jackie gave a small smile and turned them down, saying, “There’s no need for this. I’ll be leaving early


    tomorrow morning after a night’s rest to go to the next branch family. After all, there are quite a lot of


    branch families and powers that rely on our main family. Even if we try to shorten the entire journey, it’ll


    still take an estimated time of two days on this.”


    Everybody nodded— jackie’s position in these branch families’ hearts was obviously different.


    When the Third Elder was still alive and Lily still in power, they would bully the branch family’s members.


    They handed in increasingly more martial enhancement materials that they worked hard to get. There


    was really too little in their hands for their training.


    After all that was over, everything progressed for the better ever since jackie stepped in. Everyone was


    happy after the Third Elder died and Lily was removed from the White main family as nobody would


    continue this cruel treatment towards them.


    Meanwhile, Lily was brought home to the Lagorios under the lead of an old man of the Lagorio family.


    Her wounds gradually healed after several days of rest on her way back.


    It was bad enough that her son’s status was uncertain and she was thrown out of the White family, but


    the fact that Wade had used and manipted Lily turned her haggard in just mere days.


    Chapter 1217 Lily had lost almost five kilograms within several days.


    Lily exhaled a long breath as she gazed at the entrance to the Lagorio family’s residence before entering


    with the old man.


    Not long after, several young men guarding at the mountainside saw Lily. “Eldest Miss has returned!”


    Someone immediately ran to inform the others after they saw them.


    A girl walked toward her and smilingly spoke, “Eldest Miss, why did youe back alone?”


    It was not long until the girl noticed something wrong with Lily. Once an all-smiles, joyful woman every


    time she returned, the current Lily looked as if she did not have any energy and was extremely dispirited.


    The young girl frowned and asked carefully, “Eldest Miss, what… What happened to you? Why do you


    look songuish?”


    The old man beside them sighed. “Young Susan, stop nosing in. It’s hard to exin everything in just


    seconds.”


    The duo continued walking forward and they soon arrived at a huge square at the mountainside.


    At that moment, Master Lagorio, along with Old Master Lagorio and quite a number of elders, rushed out


    to wee them.


    As Lily had not returned to her maiden family for many years, the Lagorios were naturally happy when


    they heard she was back.


    “Daughter, what… What happened to you?” Lily’s mother immediately recognized that something was


    wrong with Lily the moment she saw her daughter and immediately guessed, “Had… Had they found


    Lance’s body? Could it be that Lance really died?”


    Lily shook her head lifelessly before raising her head to look at her father. With reddened eyes, she


    spoke, “Father, I don’t even have my fighting prowess right now. That bastard Nash White chased me out


    of the Lagorio family and destroyed my fighting prowess. I’m amoner right now.”


    “What?!” Master Lagorio almost fainted due to anger after he heard this. He took a long while to regain


    hisposure before asking, “What actually happened? How dare Nash White treat you like that!”


    The old man from the Lagorio family sighed and said, “Master, Eldest Miss was in an illicit rtionship


    with the Third Elder, and they… They even wanted to rebel to take the White family master title. They


    didn’t expect to fail, and Wade White was killed. Several elders and patronums that were ready to rebel


    together with them were also killed.”


    Stunned at what he heard, Master Lagorio grew increasingly doubtful. “What is all of this? Wasn’t


    everything alright previously? Why do you want to rebel? Didn’t Nash catch a weird disease and was


    dying? I just thought of visiting him in another two days, too. Why am I hearing treasons and illicit


    rtionships?”


    Chapter 1218 The old man, who carried the surname Lagorio and brought Lily back, exined, “It all


    happened like this: Lance has yet to return, and since there was no news of him, the White family


    members have been searching for him.”


    The old man paused before continuing, “None of their searches came up fruitfully, however, and the


    White family members naturally thought that Young Master Lance is dead. Coincidentally, the White


    family master, Nash White wanted to meet his mistress in the outside world, Joan and his illegitimate


    child, jackie. Displeased, Eldest Miss secretly poisoned Nash. Nash wasn’t suffering any weird disease—


    he was poisoned by a rather peculiar poison…”


    The old man slowly told the Lagorios everything, from the beginning to the end, with a cold expression.


    Old Master Lagorio was infuriated with everything he heard and pointed at Lily angrily. “Lily, what… What


    did you do? No wonder Nash destroyed your fighting prowess and expelled you out of the White family.


    The Third Elder is so old, and you don’t cherish your position as the Eldest Madam. You actually


    poisoned Nash and even got together with the Third Elder?! You shame me so!”


    The old master grew extremely agitated as he spoke, so angry that his entire face turned green. He


    never thought his granddaughter would do something like this. If news of this got out, the Lagorio family


    will lose all their honor.


    “Grandfather, I did all of this for our family!” Lily, on the other hand, still had no remorse as she red at


    the old master angrily. “We supported the White family so much in the beginning,” she argued, “and


    shouldn’t they support us now that they’ve risen? I secretly took many martial enhancement materials


    together with the Third Elder, but he didn’t take much. Didn’t I bring all of it to our Lagorio family?”


    Lily grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, “Apart from that, Lance is so talented. Why must the


    position of the family master inheritor be given to the illegitimate child, jackie? On what grounds? We


    gave so much, and I gave so much for the White family, so the next family master of the White family has


    to be my son!”


    Master Lagorio also nodded and said to the old master. “Father, I also feel that what Lily says makes


    sense. Lily shouldn’t have been with the Third Elder and the others, but it was for our family. Otherwise,


    how could we have gotten so much martial enhancement materials over these years? Apart from that, I


    also feel that the White family master should be my grandson. Lance is so talented and worked so hard.


    Why should a young man who returned from the outside inherit the title instead?”


    The old master sighed and said, “But Lance hadn’t returned after such a long time, and there’s a huge


    possibility that he’s dead. No matter what, that guy named jackie is Nash’s son. It’s not going overboard


    if he wants to meet his son and wife after so many years. It’s also nothing if he wants them to return and


    restore their positions.”


    The Lagorio family master, Trenton Lagorio, solemnly nodded. “It’s definitely nothing, but I don’t agree if


    he, Nash White give the position of family master inheritor to jackie. Apart from that, even though my


    daughter made mistakes, it doesn’t matter if he expels her out of the White family…but why did he need


    to destroy her fighting prowess? How many years does she need to train to get back to her original


    fighting prowess? Even if she managed to train back, my daughter would be old by then!”


    Old Master Lagorio was speechless—it did seem like Nash went too far. Yes, Lily made some grave


    mistakes, but the White family wouldn’t have had their current position if the Lagorios hadn’t helped. No


    matter how huge the mistake Lily made was, it shouldn’t have resulted in her being expelled from the


    White family. Destroying her fighting prowess was much more painful than killing her.”


    He also felt a wave of heartache when he saw how haggard Lily had be.


    Lily almost started crying as she spoke, “Father, I don’t care. From today onward, the White family is our


    enemy. I want to wipe out the entire White family! I want to make them pay!”


    Chapter 1219 “Eldest Miss, why… Why do you think that? You were married to him, might I remind you,


    and you were the one at fault in the beginning. Master Nash wouldn’t have treated you in such a way


    otherwise.”


    The elder who carried the Lagorio surname tried to coax Lily after hearing her rather aggressive stance.


    “I think it’s best to just let it go; surely Master Nash won’t harm Young Master Lance should he return if


    you stand down. He’d surely ask him to return to us Lagorios since there can’t be two tigers in a


    mountain. He definitely won’t let Young Master Lance to continue staying in the White family as you’ve


    already been expelled from the White family.”


    The old man paused before he added, “As for the situation where both families really started a war…


    Firstly, the Lagorio family is definitely no match for the White family. Although the White family lost the


    Third Elder and several people who were faithful to you, Miss, but the White family can definitely


    withstand this loss. Secondly, once the war starts, how do you think the White family members will treat


    Young Master Lance if he’s alive and returns to the White family? They’ll kill him on sight!”


    Old Master Lagorio also nodded in agreement after he heard this and said to Lily, “Lily, I think Xavier has


    a point. No matter from which point of view we look at it from, we don’t have the capability right now to


    wipe out the White family. Apart from that, Lance’s situation is unknown. Although he’s Nash’s son, jackie


    is the family master inheritor right now. Our rtionship with the White family will affect Nash’s attitude


    towards Lance after he returns.”


    Master Trenton also nodded after he thought about it. “It’s true, my dear. I also understand that you want


    to kill Nash and jackie badly, but we can’t act impulsively on this matter. As the saying goes, ‘a starved


    camel is bigger than a horse.’ We’d get nothing out of a war, so we’ll have to keep ourselves in check on


    this matter.”


    Lily’s mother, Diana Simpson, also stepped forward to persuade her daughter, “Daughter, it’s best if you


    go back to your room and rest well for the next two days. I believe that Lance is still alive, and for the


    sake of Lance’s safety, we shouldn’t fight with the White family right now. Fret not, my dear—the


    Lagorios will deliver justice in your stead, little by little.”


    Only then did Lily nod in agreement. She thought about it and spoke again, “Father, our Lagorio family


    also needs to send some people into the woods to search and see if we can find Lance. It’d be best if we


    can find him.”


    “Alright, alright, alright. I promise I’ll send people to carry out the search.” Trenton nodded continuously


    and promised Lily.


    Diana nced at the servants by her side and ordered, “The few of you, bring my daughter so she can


    take a rest. Cook some good soup tonight for her to replenish her body.”


    Soon, Lily left with several servants in tow.


    Finally, Trenton looked at the old man who sent Lily back and asked, “Xavier Lagorio, how about you?


    Do you n to go back to the White family or stay at the Lagorio family from now on?”


    Chapter 1220 Sheepish as he was questioned on the spot, Xavier smiled bitterly and said, “Master, I n


    to return to the White family. After all, the White family master treats me well, and he even saved me


    once… While I am a Lagorio, I used to be a mere member of the Lagorio branch family…”


    Hearing his response, Trenton smirked bitterly. “Amazing. Never thought you’d be the White family’s


    lapdog despite being there for several years. Haha… This is absurd! Have you forgotten that you’re a


    Lagorio?”


    Xavier was enraged to hear Trenton’s remark; never once was he treated well when he stayed with the


    Lagorios. extremely angry. Instead, he was bullied.


    Surprisingly, upon entering the White family, not only was he given an important position but he was also


    saved by Nash once. He had secretly vowed from that day on that his life belonged to the White family.


    That was why he chose to side with the White family instead of being with Lily and the Third Elder.


    Never did he think that him kindly sending Lily back to the Lagorios would be met with sarcasm from


    Trenton, who even called him apdog.


    Through gritted teeth, Xavier denounced, “I’m well aware I’m a Lagorio, Master, but as humans, we need


    to push forward, not to mention that I owe Nash White my life. My family name is Lagorio, but I


    understand the need to have gratitude. A person can’t be without their conscience! My sons died fighting


    for the Lagorio family, and I don’t owe the Lagorio family anything!” He turned around and was prepared


    to leave.


    “Are you insane? How dare you speak to our family master like that!” The First Elder of the Lagorio


    family flipped his hand and took a sword out, ready to attack.


    “Stop!” came the sharp order from the Lagorios’ Old Master. “Let him leave.”


    Xavier stopped walking and turned around to look at the crowd before gesturing with his hands.


    “Goodbye.”


    After he spoke, Xavier stepped with the tips of his toes and Chi appeared under his feet. He directly


    rushed upward into the sky and flew downward.


    Within several breaths, Xavier had disappeared from everybody’s sight.


    The Lagorio family’s First Elder said to Old Master Lagorio anxiously after Xavier left, “Old Master, Xavier


    has a high martial level, and we can’t let him leave. We’re considered enemies of the White family, and


    we’ll be in war against them sooner orter—it’ll be in our best interest to kill such a strong demi-god


    master. He’s at the peak level of the demi-god stage, and he might be able to break into the true god-


    level someday soon!”


    Chapter 1221 However, Old Master Lagorio shook his head. “We can’t kill him no matter what. If news


    about this gets out, our Lagorio family will be theughing stock of the entire world.”


    “Why? We’re getting rid of a hidden problem. Apart from that, he’s a member of our Lagorio family, and


    now he’s an aplice to the enemy, willing to work for the White family. Could it be possible that the


    other families will say something if we kill him?” The First Elder frowned, unable toprehend his logic.


    Old Master Lagorio replied, “His sons died fighting for our Lagorio family in the past, and he did nothing


    to wrong our Lagorio family. Won’t others say we’re savages when news about this gets out?”


    Old Master Lagorio ced both arms behind his back and looked at the area where Xavier left. He


    continued to speak, “He would’ve died if he sided with Lily from the beginning and instead of being with


    the White family to repay their kindness. Sending Lily home is a generous act from his part.”


    At this moment, Trenton also nodded. “True… If nobody escorted Lily back after her fighting prowess


    was destroyed, who knew what dangers she’d face as she returned alone. Surely, the White family won’t


    send somebody to escort her back. Xavier’s action of proactively sending my daughter back here is


    considered as him doing something great for our Lagorio family.”


    The First Elder, after hearing their rational thoughts, nodded. “You’re right… And I acted out of impulse


    just now. Thankfully, the old master stopped me, or I would’ve done something I’d regret for life. After all,


    Xavier sent Eldest Miss back without anyone telling him and if I killed him then and there, we’d get the


    bad brunt of it all if people found out.”


    “Nevermind, nevermind… We’ll be enemies in the future, and we can attack without holding back the


    next time we meet him.” The old master sighed before he added, “Lily gave us a lot of martial


    enhancement material during the previous two to three years, and our family has grown quite a lot,


    though we still beat them—both parties will lose. We still need to make ns if we want to avenge Lily.”


    Diana said angrily, “It’s indisputable Nash is responsible over how my daughter ended up in this situation


    today. Why did he have to get Joan and jackie back home? None of this would’ve happened if he didn’t


    have such thoughts. He should’ve focused on solely searching for my grandson and making him the


    family master! He’s the one in the wrong, and that’s why my daughter would go to such extremes.”


    Another slightly younger middle-aged man also said angrily, “We have to avenge my sister. Sadly, it’s


    been four months and we still haven’t found Lance without even a clue or lead to where he is. It’s going


    to be very difficult. Not only him, but there’s also no clues about those from the other families. After all,


    they went hunting for treasures together!”


    “No matter what, let’s send a dozen people to start searching from tomorrow onward. If we don’t do that,


    Lily will forever be restless.” The old man smiled bitterly. He thought about it and soon his eyes lit up. “Oh


    yes, I almost forgot. One monthter, there will be a martial artpetition among the younger


    generations of the eight shadow families, right? A martial artpetition that happens once every three


    years. Perhaps we can use that to our advantage.”


    Trenton’s eyes also lit up after he heard this and smilingly added, “Yes, this is a huge event. The White


    family definitely suffered a huge loss after what happened this time. If we tell others about this, many


    families which are of the same capabilities as them won’t agree to their position and identity!”


    Diana thought about it and said, “Some families had quite the rift with the White family, such as the


    Cabello family, and there are also those who had smaller disputes with them. If we can drive a wedge


    between them and deepen their conflicts, we’d be able to act together with them. There’s a possibility for


    us to win if we fight against the White family together!”


    Old Master Lagorio also nodded and said, “Seems like rallying with other families will be our only option;


    we’d be delusional if we n to wipe out the White family on our own.”


    Chapter 1222 Diana frowned when she thought about it. “Though these families have misunderstandings


    with White family, it’s nothing too bad, too much. Previously, some families suppressed them and didn’t


    want them to rise, but Nash was really good at handling issues. He disciplined his subordinates and


    stopped them from having conflicts with the others. Hence, it’s obviously very difficult to let them and the


    White familypletely start a war with just mere misunderstandings.”


    Old Master Lagorio also nodded and said, “Don’t worry, there will be opportunities. Otherwise, we’ll make


    some our own.”


    From then on, The Lagorios readied themselves and became the White family’s enemy.


    …


    jackie woke up early the next morning and went to wash up. Walking to the garden soon after, he noted


    Danie was already waiting for him there.


    Smiling, jackie spoke, “You’re up so early this morning, Young Mistress Cabello!”


    “Can’t I do that? Hmph. You’ll probably sneak away had I woken up anyter. What should I do by then?”


    Danie pursed her delicate mouth and ced both hands behind her back before she poked, “Anyways,


    I don’t care. I’m following you for these two to three days before my fighting prowess returns, when I can


    use my Chi again.”


    “Alright, you can follow me if you’re alright with wearing yourself out. After all, you can’t keep asking me


    to carry you on my back as we’re traveling for such a long journey, no?” jackie shrugged his shoulders


    and walked toward the main entrance.


    “I never thought of that! You came up with that yourself!” Danie’s face flushed a crimson red as she


    followed behind jackie. She then pursed her lips and said, “Did you have that thought since you carried


    me yesterday? Did you gain something out of it?”


    jackie was speechless. “You seem really confident of your own beauty.”


    “That’s for sure. My beauty is obvious for all to see!” Danie had an arrogant expression on her face as


    she followed behind jackie, though she grew abashed at what she spoke. “But, seeing you rescued me


    yesterday, I guess I can let you carry me.”


    The fact that jackie allowed Nikini to join the main family yesterday made Danie see jackie in a new


    light. It seemed like jackie was quite kind, and his act could win the hearts of the people. This caused


    members of the branch families topletely venerate him.


    As they walked toward the vige’s entrance, jackie noticed that Mason and the others were already


    there, waiting for them.


    “You’re all up so early in the morning!” jackie smiled and was slightly moved—it was evident they wanted


    to see him off.


    “Young Master jackie, we prepared a fine steed for you, and this is the best horse among all the horse


    thieves’ horses!” Mason led a horse over and smilingly exined, “This is Blood Dragon Horse and can


    be considered a low-level monster beast. Swift and speedy, it won’t take you long to reach the next


    branch family. The most important point is that you’ll be able to conserve your Chi if you don’t use it to fly,


    right?”


    jackie’s expression shifted uneasily as Mason exined it all. “What a gift you’ve prepared for me, but


    I’ve never ridden a horse before, and I don’t know how to ride this even if you give it to me.”


    “How’s that possible…? You don’t know how to ride horses?!” Many were stunned at jackie’s reply.


    Everybody was a trainer, and most of them knew how to ride such horses. jackie not knowing how to ride


    a horse baffled them.


    However, it seemed true when they thought about it. jackie was different from the others as he had


    returned from the outside world. It was normal that he had not practiced riding a Blood Dragon Horse.


    “I know how!”


    Chapter 1223 Although she could not use her Chi, Danie still retained her physical strength.


    Hoisting herself up with one hand, Danie saddled herself on the back of the horse, smiling at jackie as


    she called out, “Come sit behind me; I’ll carry you!”


    “This doesn’t seem right, though…?” jackie felt slightly embarrassed, seeing they were of two different


    genders. This Young Mistress Cabello was not only pretty, but she had a nice figure to boot as well.


    jackie tried not to hold back unnecessary thoughts when he carried her on his back yesterday, though he


    was still a young and vigorous man, so there were asions where he still had some interruptions in his


    thoughts.


    If he had to sit behind Danie on that horse throughout their journey, he feared that…


    Danie, on the other hand, silently harbored interest in jackie when she noted how shy he was when a


    rather ‘interesting’ opportunity was given between the two.


    She rolled her eyes at jackie and sourly remarked, “Are you a man? You don’t even have the balls to


    jump up here. I’m only willing to carry you because you carried me up the mountain yesterday, and I want


    to pay back this favor. s, though you’re a man, you’re still not man enough to get up here.”


    Mason tried to bite back a smile as he stood near. Why did it sound like these two were flirting like


    lovers?


    Apart from that, he prepared one horse for today with hopes to see them riding a horse when Danie


    left with jackie. Who could have expected that jackie would not do it?


    “Who says I’m not man enough? You’re no tiger—you think I’m afraid of you?”


    jackie threw himself up and saddled the horse behind Danie.


    However, jackie dared not sit too close, seeing the physical differences of men and women. He


    purposely distanced himself so their bodies would not touch.


    “We’ll meet again at the main family’s residence, Young Master jackie, but it seems like we’ll have to wait


    much longer, seeing as you may need around one month to finish doing everything.” Mason waved his


    hand with a smile when he saw how awkward jackie had gotten.


    “Goodbye, Young Master jackie!” Everybody immediately waved and said goodbye to jackie.


    “Alright, everybody, do go back. You’ve gotten lots of martial enhancement materials after we wiped out


    the horse thieves, so it’s best if you guys take this time to train well. Those who are able to break through


    should strive to go up another level.” jackie looked at the crowd as he waved and bade farewell.


    “We’ll take our leave now. Go!” Danie pulled the reins and softly nudged the horse with her heel. The


    tall and handsome Blood Dragon Horse, with that, began to race away.


    “Ah!” Caught off-guard at the sudden motion, jackie was frightened as the horse rushed forward,


    stopping for a while before it raced again. jackie fell right against Danie’s back due to inertia, hugging


    Danie’s waist in a conditioned reflex.


    “Ah!” Danie shrieked at the sudden contact, blushing sheepishly as her heart raced. She was inwardly


    relieved, nheless, as the horse had brought them several hundred meters away from the eyes of the


    White branch family members… How embarrassing would it be if they saw it all!


    jackie was flushed out embarrassed. “This… This horse runs really fast!” His heart thumped


    uncontrobly as he hugged her delicate waist. Their bodies rubbed against each other as the horse


    galloped and ran. All out of ideas and embarrassed, jackie attempted to shift the awkwardness with a


    different topic.


    Chapter 1224 “This horse is rather fast!” Danie had ridden a fair share of Blood Dragon Horses when


    she was young, though she stopped as she grew up and trained her fighting prowess instead.


    Never before had a man sat behind her with his arms around her waist; never did she think such a day


    woulde as well.


    Her heart was thrashing against her ribcage that it felt like jumping out of her chest at that moment.


    All Danie could do was act normal and speak normally. With jackie’s chest against her back, she felt


    much shier than she was yesterday when jackie carried her.


    It was not long when jackie realized something quickly reminded Danie, “No, no, we’re going the


    wrong way. Go right!”


    That baffled Danie. “Well, why didn’t you say so earlier? I don’t know where your next branch family is


    located!” Not knowing where to go, she only knew to continuously run forward and had totally forgotten to


    ask jackie which direction to go.


    “There’s a small power that relies on our family over there. Although they’re not members of the White


    branch families, they’ve been treating the White family well. They had always handed in materials based


    on the requested percentage. We can’t leave any of these powers when we’re choosing prodigies to join


    the main family!”


    jackie smiled and spoke, “We can’t let them down, right?”


    “No, we can’t… Seems like you really think for everyone else. You’ll make a good family master if


    someone like you bes the family master!” Danie blushed. “However, the family master’s position


    is normally inherited by the family master’s son. If your father isn’t the family master, you won’t inherit the


    family master title no matter how talented you are.”


    That caught jackie off-guard.


    Danie obviously knew jackie was one of the young masters from the White main family. He might be


    the son of an elder or a patronum and was out running chores for the family. What she did not know was


    that jackie was indeed the White family master’s son and the main family master’s inheritor.


    He smiled sheepishly. “I’m not really interested in that.”


    Danie wore a silk dress, and though it was made of good material, it was still rather thin. With nowhere


    to ce his hands, jackie wrapped his arms around her waist and felt the silkiness of her skin at the


    same time.


    Considering it was his first time riding a horse—and a rather feisty, fast one at that—he feared he would


    fall down. Because of that, he could only act nonchnt and ced his hands on her waist.


    He purposely made small talk with Danie the entire trip with hopes to ease the embarrassing


    atmosphere.


    “You’re genuinely not interested in the family master position. You’re quite a special person!” Danie


    grew interested in getting to know jackie in their journey, and she noticed that. This man was obviously


    different from the other men she met previously.


    However, Danie could not help but frown after they rode on for some time…


    The embarrassing thought urred to her as she blushed so much that blood seemed to be bursting out


    from it.


    jackie was also speechless, thinking of how disappointing his acts were.


    Soon, the both of them arrived at the entrance of a small vige.


    Chapter 1225 Both jackie and Danie got down from the horse right after it stopped.


    The blushing Danie tied the horse under a tree not far from where they were before she walked back


    to jackie. “Well? How’s your first experience riding a horse?” she spoke in an attempt to diffuse the


    awkward atmosphere, only realizing momentster how wrong it sounded.


    Did she just ask jackie how he felt?


    To disperse the tension, jackie so casually replied, “It’s my first time riding a horse. I felt quite nervous


    initially, but it became exciting soon after!”


    jackie noted that Danie’s face turned a crimson red after he spoke as she lowered her face, not daring


    to meet his gaze.


    “Alright! Let’s go in!” jackie’s behavior baffled her—this man just tantly said it was ‘exciting’. What a


    pervert! How could it not be when he held her by the waist? jackie probably liked her, but he refused to


    admit it.


    jackie was also speechless as he knew that this prettyss had misunderstood him. However, he did not


    know how to exin himself. Why did he even say it was ‘exciting’ in the first ce?


    Not long after they entered the vige, two men guarding the entrance walked forward to them and


    spoke, “Greetings. The two of you are…?”


    jackie smiled indifferently. “I’m from the White main family. Please ask your family master toe out.”


    “Somebody from the main family?” One of them was stunned as they had never seen jackie. They


    nodded in doubt before going in to make the report.


    Soon, the master of this n came out with several people, his expression shifting into excitement when


    he saw that it was jackie. He quickly brought his people with him and greeted them, “Greetings, Young


    Master jackie!”


    “ jackie? It’s jackie!” Many from this small n that relied on the White family had never met jackie,


    though they had heard about things happening in the main family after their family master returned.


    When they heard that the person before them was jackie, all of them were extremely excited.


    “Greetings, Young Master jackie!” Everybody immediately saluted him.


    “There’s no need for such politeness. I’m here today to choose two prodigies for training at our main


    family. I believe that Master Asher Owens has informed everybody?” addressed the smiling jackie.


    “Yes, he told us!” One of the elders of this power immediately walked forward happily and nodded in


    satisfaction. “The family master told us that Young Master jackie mighte over to pick prodigies and


    asked us to make a pre-selection. We’ve made our selection, but we thought that you won’t being.


    After all, we’re a small n that doesn’t carry the White family surname… We thought you won’t be


    coming.”


    The elder then nced at Danie as he smilingly added, ”However, our family master only said that


    Young Master jackie wasing; we never thought you’d bring your wife as well. We’ve heard rumors


    about how extremely beautiful Young Master jackie’s wife is. Seeing her now in person, she really lives


    up to the rumors!”


    “Wife?” jackie was baffled, stunned silent at such a remark. It seemed like this old man had never met


    Selena, so he thought Danie was his wife.


    Danie, who stood next to them, blushed so hard, wanting to bury herself in a deep hole.


    Chapter 1226 “Oh my, Mrs. White is so abashed that she’s blushing like a little girl! Nheless, you still


    look sweeter. No wonder Young Master jackie chose you!” added the elder, much to everyone’s surprise.


    Thatment filled Danie with mirth.


    She rolled her eyes at the other party flirtatiously before speaking, “You’re right about me being beautiful,


    but I’m not his wife.”


    “W…What?” The elder was embarrassed when he heard that. Had he gotten it all wrong?


    jackie gave an awkward smile before he walked forward to exin, “This is Third Young Mistress


    Cabello, Ms. Danie. Please don’t misunderstand us.”


    The elder was shocked to hear jackie’s exnation. “Third Young Mistress Cabello? She’s one of the


    well-known belles, which is why I assumed her identity wrongly. After all, I heard Young Master jackie’s


    wife is also extremely gorgeous and that…that’s why I misunderstood. Please forgive me, Third Young


    Mistress!”


    “Don’t sweat it—one who doesn’t know, isn’t guilty! After all, you’ve never seen me before, too!” Danie


    waved her hand dismissively, though the butterflies still fluttered in her stomach. After all, that meant that


    she looked gorgeous, and any girl would have been just as ttered with such apliment.


    jackie was dumbfounded at the elder. “Seems like you’ve got a knack for ttery!” He could see that this


    old guy was ttering them with wishes so he could make a good impression or familiarize himself with


    jackie. Never did the elder think the person following jackie was the young miss of the Cabello family.


    “By the way, since you had your pick from your people, ask them toe out so that I can register their


    name,” said jackie, getting back to business.


    Startled, the Owens’ family master stuttered, “They c—can register right now?”


    jackie was slightly stunned before he said, “Definitely. It’s alright since you people have made your


    choices and there are no objections. It saves up my time too!”


    “It’s no trouble at all! I just feel like we’re dreaming right now… I thought that you’d ignore us after


    analyzing our people, knowing their fighting prowess isn’t good enough!” The Owens’ family master


    nced at the boy-and-girl pair from his n before he added, “After all, small ns like us normally


    don’t have any martial enhancement resources, so although they’re quite talented, their fighting prowess


    reaches only the ninth-grade grandmaster level. They aren’t even in the elementary level of the demi-god


    stage. I fear you’ll regret having them when you find that their fighting prowess is too low…!”


    jackie immediately replied with a smile, “It’s not about whether anyone’s suitable or not. It doesn’t matter


    if you’re big or small ns—you’re still ns of our White family, and every n has at least two


    positions. How can I take your two positions because of a low count of members or ‘not good enough’


    prodigies? This would be hard to exin. Our White family isn’t like that!”


    After he spoke, jackie looked at the two young people and said, “What are your names? Come and


    register yourselves.”


    “Thank… Thank you, Young Master jackie!”


    The young man and woman nced at each other, joy filling their eyes as they walked toward jackie and


    registered their names.


    jackie smiled and said, “Alright, you guys can prepare yourselves to register at the main family.”


    “Young Master jackie, do you want to go in and take a rest? It’s still early, no?”


    Chapter 1227 One of the elders walked forward and looked at jackie expectantly.


    jackie nced at the young man and woman in front of her. He thought about it and said, “How about


    this: I’ll go take a rest first, but can you both meet me in my room about one hour from now?”


    “Alright, Young Master jackie!” The young man and woman looked at each other. Although they were


    slightly puzzled, they still nodded and agreed to it.


    Soon, the Owens family arranged residence for jackie and Danie in a secluded garden.


    “Weren’t you in a hurry? Why aren’t you in a hurry now?” Danie nced at jackie and said curiously.


    “Why did you ask the masters of this family to meet you in your roomter? Is there something that you


    need to personally tell them?”


    “The two of them are ninth-grade grandmasters, and they’re only one step away from the elementary


    stage of the demi-god level,” jackie exined to her. “I happen to have several groups of ingredients for


    pills. I can cultivate one for each of them and help them break into the elementary stage of the demi-god


    level.”


    “You… You know how to cultivate pills?” Danie was taken aback by the news; she did not know jackie


    knew how to cultivate pills.


    After all, alchemy was not something any random person could learn… That meant jackie had to be


    talented enough and had a high mental capacity.


    Smiling, jackie replied, “I learned by myself and had some knowledge as to how to cultivate certain pills. I


    can’t say that I’m well-versed in it!”


    That added more shock into her system. It was difficult to enter the field of alchemy without a teacher, or


    anyone for that matter, to guide him, yet jackie told her that he learned everything himself?


    Goodness… What a master!


    “You’re really clever.” Eyes lit up with interest, Danie insisted, “No, I need to see it with my own eyes!”


    jackie frowned and nced at her before he spoke, “I’ll let you, but you can’t make a sound as it’ll disturb


    me. The art of alchemy requires the alchemist to be one hundred percent focused, and no one should


    interrupt them.”


    “Alright, alright, I get it!” Danie pursed her lips and smiled.


    They both closed the door to their room and, with a flip of jackie’s hand, he took out a small pill furnace.


    Meanwhile, at the entrance of the vige, the young man and woman stood under the trees as they


    conversed.


    The man leaned against the tree and looked at the young woman in front of him curiously. “Why do you


    think Young Master jackie asked us to enter his room after an hour? Is there something important that he


    had to purposely stay here for?”


    “Who knows? We’ll know about it in a while, won’t we?” The young woman had a smile on her face.


    “Never thought Young Master jackie is that fetching, and added to that mix is his kindness in offering us


    two positions even though we’re a small n. We need to train well in the future and fight to break


    through to the demi-god level. We need to be masters of the demi-god level after we reach the White


    main family!”


    Her excitement was met with the young man’s worried expression. “I’m worried. You’re so beautiful—


    could Young Master jackie have other thoughts toward you? I mean, why else would he change his mind


    when he nned to leave right after finishing his business here?”


    Chapter 1228 However, the young woman rolled her eyes at the young man. “What are you talking


    about? Why would he ask you to goe along if he’s interested in just me? Unnecessary, no? Would


    he ask you to observe us when he takes advantage of me?”


    The guy smiled bitterly. “I’m worried because you’re quite the pretty face. What if jackie made up that


    excuse because everyone else was present—including the family master—and have me leave after we


    both go to himter? What if he asks you to go into the room alone? We’ll never know!”


    “What are you talking about? Young Master jackie isn’t that kind of person!” The young woman once


    again rolled her eyes at the young man before a sweet smile appeared on her face. “It’s good if such a


    prepossessing man like Young Master jackie can fancy me…but I heard that his wife is drop-dead


    gorgeous. You can see what a beauty that Third Young Mistress Cabello is. I think those two share a


    tight bond, which probably exins why such an angel is willing to follow him!”


    The young man frowned. “Didn’t they exin themselves? The woman isn’t his wife, and they’re only


    friends!”


    “Are you really dumb?” grumbled the youngdy. “Just think about it: If they truly are just friends, how


    can they both share a horse? I can see the eyes of the Third Young Mistress of Cabello lighting up when


    she looked at Young Master jackie. They obviously have an unusual rtionship, even if they aren’t


    husband and wife!”


    “You got a point. Why didn’t they ride two horses and instead rode just one? Seems like it truly is some


    ambiguous rtionship!” The man nodded and thought about it before speaking again, “Of course, no


    harm in them both being together; the Cabello family is hauntingly powerful after all. The White family’s


    position must’ve plummeted after what happened with the Third Elder and First Madam. If jackie can be


    together with the young miss of the Cabello family, it ensures a prosperous development for our White


    family!”


    The youngdy frowned. “Yeah, that’s true, but the rtionship between the White family and Cabello


    family has always been strained. Hence, it’s definitely difficult for the Cabello family’s master to give them


    blessings…”


    Meanwhile…


    Busied with cultivating pills in the room, jackie would have been appalled to hear whatever the Owens


    family’s prodigies were discussing outside.


    Danie, who was by his side, fell silent in awe at what she saw—the pills jackie cultivated were indeed


    first-grade intermediate pills. The most important thing was how skilled jackie was. He looked almost the


    same as a First Elder who had researched pills for many years.


    Danie waspletely attracted to jackie when she saw how focused he was. As his expression would


    shift from frowning to smiling lightly, jackie’s expressions seemingly affected her thoughts. She eyed the


    changes in his mood, his nervousness, and happiness. It was as if jackie was not the person cultivating


    the pills but her as well.


    “Done!” Finally, jackie raised his hand and finished cultivating a furnace of pills. Two pills flew upward


    beforending in jackie’s palm.


    The pills looked round and plump. They carried a faint smell of herbs and medicine and were obviously


    of good quality.


    “Look at you, you’re all sweaty!” Danie could not help but take out her handkerchief and helped wipe


    jackie’s forehead when she saw that jackie hadpleted cultivating the pills. Her beautiful eyes looked


    very serious when she helped him.


    “Err, well… Thank you!” jackie had an embarrassed expression on his face as he smiled shyly, cing


    the furnace away.


    Chapter 1229 Resting for a couple of minutes, the Owens family’s prodigies came to jackie’s room not


    long after.


    “Young Master jackie, is there anything important that you’ve asked us toe?” asked the duo


    curiously, ncing at one another when they realized that Danie was also in the room.


    jackie had cultivated five first-grade intermediate-level pills just now. He took two out with a flip of his


    hand and said, “Here’s one for each of you. These are first-grade intermediate-level pills, used to


    increase fighting prowess. They should be able to help you both break through and achieve the


    elementary level of the demi-god stage. I suggest that you both spend some time here and leave for the


    main family after you’ve broken through. That would help increase your speed when you travel.”


    “W—What? This…this is for us?” The young man gulped, wondering if he heard wrongly. These were


    pills, and having these were much better than having spirited grass.


    It was because of this that pills were extremely precious and hard to obtain.


    jackie had genuinely taken two incredibly rare items to give them both!


    “Thank you, Young Master!” The young girl took the pills with a small frown on her face before her


    expression shifted into utter shock and awe. “Why… Why are these still hot?”


    The man took the other pill and was just as surprised. “Oh, my stars… It’s still hot! Are these recently


    cultivated?”


    jackie nodded at their shocked faces. “Haha…! Yes, they are, considering I had just cultivated them.


    There’s no loss of Chi from the pills, so the effects are best if you take it right now. While it’s not much,


    the pills will gradually lose their Chi.”


    “You’re incredible, Young Master jackie! Did you truly cultivate these pills yourself? That’s mighty kind of


    you to cultivate these yourselves for us!” The young girl was extremely excited. “I… I don’t know how to


    thank you for this!”


    “That’s right, Young Master jackie. I had no idea that you’re so nice and considerate toward us…” The


    guy gazed at jackie appreciatively yet guiltily, as he did second-guess jackie while he stayed in the


    residence merely to cultivate pills for them. He thought jackie had his eye on his beautiful prodigy


    “Alright, we should leave. I need to save time andplete my mission as soon as possible!” jackie


    nced at the two prodigies and said, “The two of you don’t need to send me off; just train well. The best


    way to repay me is to break through the demi-god level soon.”


    They then left for the vige’s entrance once more. At this moment, the Blood Dragon Horse was full and


    was enjoying the warm sunshine.


    Danie brought the horse over, subtly shy when she nced at jackie. Getting up the horse, she said to


    jackie, “Come up. I don’t know which direction the next branch family is at, so you need to lead the way!”


    Chapter 1230 “Thank you very much…!” Still embarrassed at what happened this morning, he fought his


    shyness and got up the horse’s back, sitting behind Danie.


    “Are you sure you don’t want to hold on to me? Don’t fallter!” reminded the blushing Danie.


    “Alright…!” replied jackie before cing his hands around Danie’s waist from behind.


    Recalling something, Danie then said, “Oh, right. The triennial martial artspetition among the


    shadow families ising up next month. Although it’s just for us to learn from each other, it bears great


    importance for the eight families and the other shadow families. As a member of the White main family,


    you have such high fighting prowess. You’ll definitely join since you must be a master of the main family,


    right?”


    jackie nodded. “My father told me about that, and that’s why I got to make this trip of choosing prodigies


    for the main family short. I need to go back earlier so that I can join this martial artspetition, and


    that’s why I don’t want to rest here for too long, leaving once everything is settled.”


    jackie paused for a moment before a smile grew on his face as he spoke, “I’m lucky that the White


    branch families aren’t far from the ns depending on us. I’ll get to wrap up everything if I get to it


    quickly.”


    “But you’ll still be out of time!” Danie thought about it and said, “I got an idea: Why don’t I just take the


    reins on the horse from now on? This will be much faster. You’ll only wear yourself out and deplete your


    Chi if I leave and you rely on flying. You’ll also need more time, too!”


    “It doesn’t sound too good…” jackie was embarrassed. Riding the horse from one ce to another would


    spare him several days, and they would need an estimated 20 days to get things done.


    If things went out of n, however, they would need at least 20 more days, meaning he would not have


    enough time to return for the tournament.


    “Hey, what’s not good about it? If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve been assaulted by that bastard back then,


    and that’s even worse than killing me. This is the same as saving my life, do you understand? You saved


    my life, so what’s the big deal about me helping you?” Smiling, Danie then added, “Of course, you’ll


    have to repay me since I’m helping you!”


    “What is it, then?” jackie frowned, never expecting she would ask for a favor after she offered him help


    without him asking for it.


    “It’s simple: I’d like to follow you to the White family and take a look after we’re done. I’ve never been to


    the White family yet. Will you wee me there?” Danie was filled with expectations. Not only was


    jackie handsome, but he had a respectable position and identity. He was nice to people and even knew


    how to cultivate pills. To her, jackie had surpassed many of the young masters who had courted her.


    Those master young masters who bore great positions seemingly paled insignificantly whenpared to


    jackie, and that was no stretch nor lie.


    “This doesn’t sound too good, right?” jackie was slightly worried. After all, the Cabello family and the


    White family never had a good rtionship. Should the Cabellos turn hostile entirely, things would take a


    turn for the worse as Danie knew where their branch families were.


    “Hey, what’s so bad about that?” Danie soon thought of something. “I get it… Knowing that the White


    family and the Cabellos aren’t on good terms, you don’t want to let me go there, right? True, the Cabello


    family doesn’t have a good rtionship with the White family, but it’s not that bad, right? Apart from that, I


    can’tpletely represent the Cabello family. I just want to go to the White family and y!”


    Chapter 1231 jackie fell silent for a moment before he spoke, “That’s not the only problem. You’ve been


    out for so long, and if you don’t go back, the Cabello family members will search everywhere for you


    when they learn you’ve been captured. Won’t your parents be worried if you don’t go back for such a


    long time?”


    Danie’s face darkened when she heard this. She thought about it and said, “They don’t know I was


    captured by Munro Quinn. All they know is that I’ve gone out to y, so they won’t be too worried since I


    have good fighting prowess, though they’ll still worry if I don’te home after quite some time.”


    Stopping the horse at that moment, she turned to jackie and smilingly spoke, “However, I’ve made up my


    mind to follow you to the White family to y. After all, you guys will be joining the martial arts


    competition within several days, so I’ll follow you to thepetition and meet my parents then…”


    “A… Alright!” jackie nodded, agreeing to her stance. It was nice to have a genial rtionship with this


    Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family, and he would at least get information about the Cabello


    family…even if it was to learn about the Cabellos’ first elder so he could take the ancient book from


    them.


    jackie kept his thoughts in check, however, reminding himself that he needed to prioritize breaking


    through into the intermediate or theter stage of the true-god level. Only then could he get the ancient


    book.


    Otherwise, he would not stand a chance against that person.


    jackie thought about it and set a goal for himself. “It’s alright. Fernando has three years, so I’ll try my best


    to strive and grow as quickly as I can.”


    “That’s set, then. You’ve made your promise!” Delighted that jackie agreed to her, she then called out to


    the horse as it began to gallop again.


    As the saying went, ‘familiarity breeds fondness,’ they both met every day for the next 20 days as jackie


    would sit behind Danie and hold her waist. Unknowingly, an unfamiliar feeling for Danie blossomed


    within jackie.


    There were even times when jackie could not control his excitement when he sat behind this beauty and


    caught whiffs of her pleasant scent.


    His understanding of Danie had grown over those 20 days. While she was considerably arrogant and


    spoiled by the Cabello family, she was not a bad person. Apart from that, she was also a simple and


    uplicated person.


    She did not seem to ce her guard up against jackie, at least.


    “Goodness, I’m tired from all this running around with you during these couple of days!” When they finally


    left thest branch family, Danie, who was on the horse’s back, could not help butin. “Apart


    from that, there are several ns and families on this trip who think I’m your beautiful wife. I’m really


    looking forward to seeing how your wife looks.”


    “The past couple of days must’ve been tiring for you!” jackie smiled. “As for my wife, you’ll meet her as


    you follow me to the White family.”


    “‘It must’ve been tiring for you’? No, that won’t do—you gotta treat me to a drink at least!” said the


    grinning Danie.


    “Alright. Let’s go left and follow that direction. We can rest for a night if we see a town, seeing that it’s


    almost nightfall. I’ll treat you to a drink tonight as a reward for your help these past couple of days. How


    does that sound?”


    “That’s more like it!” Danie rolled her eyes at jackie, but her heart felt like it wasthered by something


    honey-like and sweet.


    Chapter 1232 Thus, they continued their journey ahead on their steed, with Danie eager at the thought


    of having dinner with jackie alone.


    Moreover, she found that being next to jackie gave her a sense of security. Although he was six or seven


    years older than her, the mature jackie made her even more fascinated as she spent days with him.


    He was a far cry from the other young masters that gifted her roses, choctes, jade pendants, and


    spirited grasses. They bored her senseless.


    Eventually, the duo arrived outside a small town as the sky slowly turned dark.


    The small town seemed rather vast as it was brightly lit at this hour, festive-looking as many night market


    stalls were put up on the streets.


    “Not bad… This small town looks much like an ancient, bygone town. What a sight for sore eyes!”


    Danie had a smile on her face as she walked on the wide bluestone street with the tall Blood dragon


    Horse in tow.


    “Feel free to tell me whatever you’d like to eat, Young Mistress Cabello, there’s no need to be polite. You


    can choose from any of these restaurants!”


    “There’s a hotel in front that looks promising, too!” said jackie to Danie as he enjoyed the night view.


    “Well, I don’t want to go to big hotels. Let’s just find a small restaurant with a better environment; that’s


    the highlight of it all!” Danie nodded before turning to jackie again and said, “By the way, can you stop


    addressing me as Young Mistress Cabello? You know that you…you can call me Danie, right?”


    “Alright, Danie.” jackie smiled. The two of them walked for a while before they found a quaint yet


    pleasant restaurant.


    “Let’s go to the second floor. We can still sit on the side of the second floor and enjoy the night view of


    the streets below.” Danie pulled jackie, ready to go to the second floor after asking the waiter to bring


    the horse to the stables.


    Two muscr men guarded the staircase that led to the second floor, however, and when they saw


    jackie and Danie about to go upstairs, one of them stopped the duo with an extended hand.


    “What’s the meaning of this?” Danie frowned, confused at the sudden gesture.


    Eyeing them both, one of the men sneered, “Guests, in our restaurant, the first floor is for the


    commoners, but the second floor is different. Only the young masters in our town can afford to pay for


    things that are served on the second floor. Besides, the recipes here are different. They serve monster


    beasts’ meat, and spirited stones are used to pay the bill, got it?”


    Spirited stones were materials that martial artists often used for training, and they contain immense Chi.


    The purer the stone, the more Chi it contained.


    Ordinary low-grade spirit stones were simr to Chi Congregation Pills, but its effects were not as good


    as Chi Congregation Pills.


    However, the more advanced middle-grade or high-grade spirit stones were far more potent than the Chi


    Congregation Pills, especially the high-grade spirit stones that were awfully rare. A high-grade spirit


    stone was equal to one hundred medium-grade spirit stones.


    Of course, there were also the legendary top-grade spirit stones, which only existed in legends. No one


    had ever seen them since top-grade spirit stones were also rarely seen. It was considered good enough


    to asionally see some middle-grade spirit stones.


    Being a martial artist meant that they obviously did not have much interest in money. They basically trade


    with spirit stones, as spirit stones were much more practical.


    Therefore, the two Herculean men thought that jackie and Danie could not afford to be on the second


    floor when they could not recognize them as any members of the families in this town.


    Chapter 1233 Much like casual martial artists, people like them would only have small amounts of


    spirited stones. It was considered nice to have several pieces, though they would use such spirited


    stones to train and try improving themselves as much as possible. How could they use it for food?


    “This is ridiculous! Open your dog-like eyes and see who I am! Do I look like somebody who can’t afford


    a meal?” It was apparent that Danie had never received such treatment in the past as she was on the


    verge of exploding. She never expected to be looked down on when she came to a small town for food.


    “What are you talking about, young girl? Do you know who the boss of our restaurant is? How dare you


    say ‘open your dog-like eyes’ to us! Haha…! Let me tell you this: even employees like us aren’t people


    you can simply offend!” The burly man immediately got angry and looked at Danie despicably. “You’re


    a stunner, but that’s all you are, no cash on you. Women like you are trophy women—what else would


    you know apart from looking pretty?”


    “That’s right!” The other burly man also immediately chimed in. “I think you’re just a trophy woman, too.


    Haha…! If you can’t afford things, just let this handsome young man treat you to a simple meal. You want


    something nice instead? You look like the leeching type, those who’ll dip after having their fill!”


    Not forgetting jackie, the man turned to him next. “Young man, you look like a good person, so I’ll leave


    you a piece of advice: There are many women out there who suck people dry these days. You should be


    careful and not let her control you.”


    “What the f*ck…? I’m really, really angry now!” Danie saw red at that instant. She was the Third Young


    Mistress of the Cabello family, a familypletely capable of entering the top three positions among the


    eight shadow families. They had three people with the fighting prowess of peak level true god stage, and


    such power was much stronger than the White family, who was at the bottom of the food chain.


    As the third young mistress of the Cabello family, she was treated as a precious girl among the Three


    Golden Flowers. Both her sisters spoiled her and her entire family loved her. How could she not be angry


    when somebody called her a trophy woman that leeched off of others?


    Before jackie could speak, she threw her fist at one of the men, squarely at his abdomen.


    The burly man flew backward for a couple of meters beforending on the ground, and blood leaked out


    of his mouth.


    Danie could utilize her Chi, one with power of a peak stage demi-god level master that no regr


    person could withstand.


    Hence, a simple punch would inflict intense pain on her opponent.


    “How dare you cause trouble here! Do you have a death wish or something?!” The other burly man was


    enraged at what transpired. Balling his hands into fists, he threw one at Danie.


    “Pfft! You, alone?!” Noting how the man was charging straight for her, Danie swung her fist and sent


    that person flying.


    That guy also fell to the ground and vomited blood.


    A man soon rushed in from the entrance with a dozen people and surrounded the duo. “Who are you?


    How dare you cause trouble in the ce owned by our Murphy family?”


    Chapter 1234 Upon seeing who came for them, both burly men scrambled to their feet from the floor as


    they whimpered and muttered, “Young master, this young girl is too…too much…! She hit members of


    our Murphy family!”


    Annoyed, Young Master Murphy red at both men. “You’re both useless. You can’t even win in a fight


    against a woman!”


    “Young Master, this woman has the fighting prowess of the demi-god level, and it’s only natural that we in


    the grandmaster stage will lose…!” one of them reasoned as he held his abdomen, face scrunched up in


    pain. “She doesn’t look to be from around here and seems to be more than just a casual trainer!”


    “Demi-god level?” Young Master Murphy’s face darkened when he heard this. A person with this level of


    fighting prowess would be regarded as a master.


    His father was also in the final stages of the demi-god level and was a considerably formidable force in


    this town. Their family also had several masters, but they could not go offending some master of the


    demi-god level, especially those of thest or peak stage.


    That was why he held back from promptly acting out, even though many were present.


    jackie, who was next to them, smiled indifferently and said, “They deserved what came for them. This is


    the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family, yet they dared to ridicule and said she’s a trophy woman.


    Aren’t they asking for it?”


    “Cabello family…?” Although Young Master Murphy was a young master in this small town, he was quite


    knowledgeable. He inhaled sharply when he learned she was from the Cabello family and noticed how


    beautiful this young woman in front of him was.


    The Cabello family was one of the eight shadow families.


    “Here, this is my token.” Danie flipped her hand and revealed a ck-colored token, shoving it to their


    faces soon after.


    The other party broke out in cold sweat when he recognized the token and thanked himself for not


    picking a fight with them both. He was also lucky that he did not have other thoughts when he saw how


    beautiful this girl was. Otherwise… Forget the restaurant—their entire Murphy family would disappear


    from this world in a blink of an eye.


    “It really i—is the Third Young Mistress Cabello!” The man from the Murphy family gulped before turning


    to the two well-built men and barked, “You buffoons! This is the third young mistress of the Cabello


    family! How dare you two offend her?”


    Terrified, both men knelt on the ground and bowed incessantly as they begged Danie, “We’re sorry,


    Third Young Mistress Cabello! Please forgive us! We’re really ignorant and had no idea that Third Young


    Mistress Cabello woulde to such a humble ce as ours. That is why we offended you!”

    “Hmph!” Danie indignantly spoke, “Who gave you the right to call me a trophy woman? Take them out


    and kill them, or I’ll wipe out the entire Murphy family!”


    Overwhelmed with horror, Young Master Murphy inhaled deeply and snapped, “Take them both out and


    kill them!”


    There was nothing he could have done. Under such circumstances,forting Third Young Mistress


    Cabello was better than anything befalling on the Murphy family.


    “Please forgive us, Third Young Mistress…! We know that we’re at fault, and we won’t do it again!” Both


    burly men were so frightened that their legs turned into jelly and were paralyzed on the floor.


    Several other men pulled up both men, ready to take them outside.


    “Let it go, Danie. You can’t me them, seeing as they genuinely don’t know who you are,” interjected


    jackie after assessing the situation. “I say, have them p themselves a 100 times and we’ll let this go.”


    Danie blushed when she heard what jackie said, but she nheless turned to the Murphies and said,


    “Alright, alright. I won’t take your lives as jackie is treating me to a meal today. Since he asked for


    forgiveness on your behalf, I’ll spare you both. p yourselves for a hundred times then!”


    “Of course, of course…!”


    Chapter 1235 Relieved that they were pardoned, both burly men knelt again and started pping


    themselves.


    “Thank you for forgiving the faults of these petty people, Miss Cabello!” Young Master Murphy was also


    relieved. After all, these two subordinates of his were at the grandmaster level. They were fifth or sixth-


    grade grandmasters, and such fighting prowess was considered ster to the Murphy family. That was


    why they were sent to guard the restaurant.


    He never foresaw such an event would happen, and it made him feel helpless.


    He thought about it and said again, “All of you, listen to me: Everything Third Young Mistress Cabello


    orders tonight will be free, understand?”


    “Yes, Sir!” The other waiters in the restaurant immediately replied.


    “That’s more like it!” Danie patted Young Master Murphy on his shoulder when she saw how


    understanding he was. “Remember to ask your subordinates to not look down on others in the future. I’m


    not the only one they can’t afford to offend. This good friend of mine is the White family’s young master,


    and they shouldn’t cross him as well. He can wipe out your entire town with one hand. Do you believe


    that?”


    “I believe… I do believe…” Young Master Murphy’s sweat dripped down his forehead unknowingly. Still, it


    made sense that the friends of Third Young Mistress Cabello had high positions. How else could they be


    qualified to stand beside the Third Young Mistress Cabello?


    jackie smiled and said, “Let’s go.”


    Danielle turned and walked upstairs before remembering something. “Serve us a serving of every


    specialty you have here!” she called out.


    “A…Alright!” Young Master Murphy wiped his cold sweat and nodded vehemently.


    “That’s more like it!” Danie smiled and turned to walk up the stairs.


    “Goodness… Who would’ve known that the Cabello family’s third young mistress and the White family’s


    young master woulde to our town? F*ck… My heart shook at that! Our Murphy family nearly got


    destroyed!” Young Master Murphy rxed as both jackie and Danie went upstairs, and he then noted


    how his legs turned to jelly.


    “Luckily, that guy helped us to beg for forgiveness, or we would’ve died!” The two burly men, their faces


    swollen and bruised from all their ps, were inwardly relieved. They never imagined that two people of


    such honorable positions would dine at a humble ce like theirs.


    “We have a situation, Young Master!” At this moment, a guy standing beside Young Master Murphy


    yelled in surprise.


    “What? What happened?” Young Master Murphy nearly fainted from fright. He just got the time to take a


    breather! Why did his subordinate shock him again?


    That subordinate immediately said, “The young master of the Ladenberg family, Ezra Ladenberg is also


    having dinner upstairs tonight.”


    “Ezra Ladenberg…!” Young Master Murphy’s face darkened. The Ladenberg family was the enemy of the


    Murphy family, and their overall power was slightly stronger.


    That was why Ezra Ladenberg had been tyrannical and bullied those around him all the time. He never


    paid whenever he had meals in their restaurant, much to Young Master Murphy’s chagrin, yet there was


    nothing he could do.


    Chapter 1236 “Yes young master. Ezra Ladenberg is not a nice person and the Third Young Mistress


    Cabello is really beautiful. It so happens that Ezra is an extremely lecherous person and I’m afraid that


    something bad will happenter!” The subordinate looked anxious as he thought about it. He


    immediately said, “Young master, this won’t work. We need to rush over and remind Young Master


    Ladenberg or they will definitely get into a fight!”


    However, Young Master Murphy stopped him. “Remind? Why should we remind him? The Ladenberg


    family had been suppressing our Murphy family all this while and that Young Master Ladenberg is wildly


    arrogant. This is a great chance to get rid of the Ladenberg family. Those two almost died because they


    offended that woman. Do you think that they would still be alive if they took advantage of Third Young


    Mistress Cabello?”


    The subordinate’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “That’s right, why didn’t I think about this. I was only


    thinking about how our tables and chairs would be destroyed if they get into a brawlter. With the


    protective nature of Master Ladenberg, he would definitely avenge his son without finding out the reason


    if Young Master Ladenberg was killed. If that’s the case…”


    Young Master Murphy nodded. “There are many guests upstairs and who knows how the news is going


    to reach the Ladenberg familyter?”


    A smile appeared on the corners of Young Master Murphy’s mouth when they arrived at that point of the


    conversation. He said to his subordinate, “Immediately go and send the message to the Ladenberg


    family if they get into a fightter. Do you understand?”


    “I understand!” The subordinate smiled with his face filled with anticipation.


    jackie and Danie sat at the space next to the window after they went upstairs.


    The view from the second floor was extremely beautiful.


    However, as what Young Master Murphy and the others had expected, Young Master Ladenberg and


    several others also saw the two over there.


    “Psst psst, what a scene. Why haven’t I seen such a beauty before?” Young Master Ladenberg could not


    help but swallow his saliva and eximed after he looked around for a while.


    The guy opposite him said with a smile, “It looks like these two are casual trainers who passed by this


    area and are here for a meal.”


    “Casual trainers?” Young Master Ladenberg had a smirk on his face and said, “Then we can’t let them


    leave so easily. Since they are not people from our town, it would be difficult for others to find them if


    anything happens to them. If we let such a beauty leave, it would be difficult to meet one the next time


    even if we want to!”


    “Haha… Young master, don’t worry about it! Leave this in my hands!” The subordinate opposite the


    young master directly stood up after he smiled and walked toward Danie.


    “Youngdy, you are really gorgeous! Your beauty will make the moon and flowers shy!” The man said


    flirtatiously as soon as he arrived in front of Danie.


    Danie frowned and nced at him as her facial expression darkened. “I don’t know who you are, how


    can I help you?”


    The man smirked as he nced toward where Young master Ladenberg was and said, “Youngdy, our


    Young Master Ladenberg would like to invite you over for a chat. I hope that you will give him face!”


    Danie looked over and a fatty was sitting there with beautiful women on each side of his arms. He had


    oil stains on the corners of his mouth and was smiling at her like a lecherous fool.


    She directly nced at the man in front of her with a cold expression on her face. “F*ck off! I’m not


    interested in such rubbish!”


    “Haha… Youngdy, you don’t need to be in a hurry to reject us!” The man in front of her did not seem to


    be angry. He flipped his hand and came up with a middle-grade spirited stone. He ced it on the table.


    “This is a middle-grade spirited stone and it has an equal worth to one hundred low-grade spirited


    stones. Casual trainers like you have never seen spirited stones like this right? Haha… How about that?”


    “You’re giving it to me?” Danie nced at the spirited stone on the table in despise.


    The man nodded with a smile. “Of course. Youngdy, we’re all smart people. You only need to keep our


    young masterpany tonight. As long as our young master enjoys himself tonight, this middle-grade


    spirited stone is yours! Not any person can meet with such a good opportunity!”


    Chapter 1237 “Haha… Is this a joke? You expect me to apany that fat-ass with one piece of


    useless spirited stone?” Danieughed.


    jackie also could not help but stand up. “Didn’t you hear when she asked you to f*ck off?”


    This was the first time he purposely brought Danie out for a meal and it started off with an unhappy


    incident. jackie was also unhappy as they were suddenly disturbed hence he did not want to be nice to


    the other party.


    Danie was secretly happy and touched when she saw how jackie was slightly angry.


    In her opinion, jackie proactively stood forward and got mad meant that he had some of affection toward


    her. Why was jackie so angry if he did not like her?


    “Who are you? How dare you speak to me this way?” The man was one of the butlers in Young Master


    Ladenberg’s family and he was considered a highly positioned person in the Ladenberg family.


    However, he never liked to take action under normal circumstances. In his opinion, most of the situations


    could be resolved by using spirited stones. There was no need to take action if the issues could be


    resolved by using spirited stones.


    “Who am I?” jackie humphed coldly and directly punched the other party in the head.


    jackie did not use much strength but this butler of the Ladenberg family flew directly several meters


    backward beforending on the floor with blood trickling down his nose.


    “What the fck?!” Young Master Ladenberg directly mmed his hand on the table and stood up when he


    saw that his subordinate was hit. “Attack them and kill the guy. Capture the woman and bring her over.


    Fck, they need to submit to pressure after turning down my nice request.”


    “Attack!” Several of Young Master Ladenberg’s subordinates immediately rushed toward jackie.


    “Don’t me me since you guys are the suicidal ones!” jackie flipped his hand and took the ck sword


    out when he saw the group of people daringly rush forward.


    With several swipes of his sword, the people who rushed forward were killed.


    Many guests on the second floor were frightened and hid directly by the side when they saw that there


    was a fight.


    “Who are these two? How dare they kill the Ladenberg family’s people!” Some of them could not help but


    started discussing what happened. Everything was moving so quickly and they only realized what


    happened when the Ladenberg family’s subordinates were killed by that young man.


    jackie directly went in front of the Ladenberg family’s butler after he killed all those people and looked at


    him coldly.


    “Young man, do you know who our young master is? I think you…” The Ladenberg family’s butler wanted


    to threaten jackie. However, he was killed by jackie before he had the chance to finish speaking.


    The butler fell onto the ground, dead.


    Chapter 1238 “Ah!” Both women in Young Master Ladenberg’s arms were so frightened that they turned


    pale. They immediately ran away and hid at a corner.


    “Young…young man, I’m the young master of the Ladenberg family. You will be going against the


    Ladenberg family if you dare kill me!” Young Master Ladenberg stood up and pointed at jackie. His voice


    and his finger, however, were trembling and he was obviously afraid.


    jackie did not pay much attention to him and carried out his attack. He then turned around and walked


    toward Danie while putting his sword away.


    Young Master Ladenberg fell onto the ground in disbelief as he covered his neck with both his hands.


    “This… This…” Several subordinates of the Murphy family were surprised when they ran over to take a


    look. They immediately ran downstairs.


    One of them went toward Young Master Murphy. “Young master, this is great! That guy really killed


    Young Master Ladenberg! Haha… Even heaven is helping us!”


    “Is that true? Why haven’t you guys sent the message to the Ladenbergs yet? Go change your clothes


    as it’s bad if the Third Young Mistress Cabello and the others learned that we were the ones who sent


    the message!” Young Master Murphy reminded his subordinate with a smile after he thought about it.


    “Haha… Alright, young master! I’m on my way now!” The subordinate then went to change his clothes


    happily.


    After jackie killed those people, he went back to where Danie was and sat down. “What an annoyance.


    Who knew that we would meet such annoying people the first time officially treating the Young Mistress


    Cabello to a meal. I hope this has not affected your mood for food.”


    How could Danie me jackie when she felt as sweet as if she had taken honey. She felt that jackie


    had killed those people because he was unhappy with them bullying her. Apart from that, she was


    extremely happy as jackie acted in such a decisive and unhesitating manner just now.


    “Don’t worry, such a small issue would not affect my mood!” Danie ced her arms on the table and


    ced her head in between her hands as she looked at jackie happily. Her beautiful eyes were filled with


    love for jackie.


    jackie’s heart stopped for a moment when he saw how Danie looked at him with the infatuated smile at


    the corners of her mouth.


    He was not dumb so he had already realized that Danie had feelings toward him and he had no idea


    how to respond to her feelings.


    Luckily the waiter served their food at that moment. All the dishes that were served smelled extremely


    good.


    “It smells so good! We can start eating!” jackie smiled and said to the waiter. “By the way, please serve


    us some of your best wine here!”


    “It’sing, it’sing!”


    Chapter 1239


    At this moment, Young Master Maack walked over with a smile on his face and ced two bottles of


    wine on the table.


    “Third Young Mistress Cabello and Young Master White, I present to you the legendary monkey wine, a


    wine whose sweetness is unparalleled, and its aroma thick and vorful. It’s extremely beneficial for


    those who are training to be chi masters!”


    Young Master Maack introduced the wine to jackie, grinning. “My father stores it here, and I usually don’t


    dare to drink it. I only take a few sips when he’s around. Best of all, a wine like this is extremely hard to


    procure!”


    jackie noticed the other man’s bootlicking demeanor and frowned. “If this wine is truly as rare and as


    good as you say it is, why would you bring it out for us?”


    Danie’s brows creased together when she heard jackie’s words. Her gaze toward Young Master Maack


    sharpened. “Don’t tell me that you’ve spiked this drink, Young Master Maack. We’re not as gullible as you


    think we are!”


    Young Master Maack nearly copsed after he heard that. “I would never dare to do something like that


    even if you gave me a billion dors,” he replied hastily. “How could I do that? I have no right to even


    touch either of you, being the powerful heir and heiress you two are. Why would I harbor ill intentions


    toward you!”


    Here, Young Master Maack paused for a while, his eyes skittering toward the body of Young Master


    Ladenberg. “To be honest with you, that dead fatty is the young master of the Ladenberg family,” he


    finally said, huffing. “The Ladenberg family is the most powerful family in our city, and that fatty regrly


    bullied us. I was so d when you killed him, so of course, I had to thank you in some way. Besides, it’s


    just two bottles of wine. It’s nothingpared to what you did!”


    “Good. I knew you didn’t have the guts!”


    Danie swiped for one of the bottles and uncorked it. Its thick, heavenly scent hit her nostrils, and she


    felt as though she could get drunk from its smell alone.


    “My God. That’s the smell of monkey wine. I want some too!”


    A few guests sitting at the surrounding tables caught a whiff of the wine. All of them gulped and stared at


    jackie and Danie in admiration.


    No one thought that the Maack family had such a prized possession—and that it would be taken out just


    for the two of them.


    “My God. This–this is beautiful!”


    jackie’s eyes brightened once he smelled the wine. He liked alcohol and had a high tolerance for it, so


    naturally, a wine like that would make him excited.


    “Then I’ll go for it!”


    jackie smiled and opened the other bottle, gulping it down straight from the bottle.


    He only reluctantly set the bottle down after taking a few gulps. “This is fantastic. It doesn’t burn at all,


    and its aroma is so strong. This is one amazing wine.”


    Danie and Young Master Maack stared at him, boggle-eyed. He had downed the alcohol a little too


    fast, had he not?


    “Eat something, jackie!”


    Danie smiled and heaped a piece of monster meat onto jackie’s te. Then she poured the wine out


    into a ss and took a sip out of it. “This is really good!”


    “You’d better eat up too, Danie!”


    After all, she was of a significant position, and she had taken a piece of meat for him. jackie felt slightly


    embarrassed, so he did the same for her as well.


    However, this simple gesture stirred Danie’s heart. jackie had actually given her food. Was he trying to


    hint at something else?


    “Take your time here. I’ll get out of your hair. Just inform me if you need anything!”


    Young Master Maack, who was very observant, noticed the slight flush on Danie’s cheeks. He


    surmised that the two might be a couple, and he left with a grin on his face, not wanting to be the


    third wheel.


    Chapter 1240


    Danie could not help but feel worried as she watched jackie practically inhaling the wine. She frowned


    and said, “ jackie, I know this is a rare wine but don’t down it like that. You’ll get drunk!”


    jackie gave a careless smile when he heard that. “Heh. Don’t worry about me. I have a pretty good


    alcohol tolerance. No ordinary person can lure me into a drunken state. And do you know that martial


    artists have a far higher tolerance for alcohol than normal people? Martial artists have a far stronger


    bodyposition, so that’s why normal people can’tpare to us.”


    “That’s true!”


    Danie shed an awkward smile in return.


    The two drank for a while. Master Ladenberg then brought many fighters from the Ladenberg family over.


    “F*ck. Who killed my son?”


    Master Ladenberg rushed over and scanned the area, absolutely livid.


    He quickly realized that many of the guests had their attention directed toward jackie.


    “Were you the one who killed my son, you little sh*t? Do you have a death wish?”


    Thomas Ladenberg flipped his palm and took out a sword, pointing it at jackie.


    jackie stood up and flipped his palm as well, staring at the intruder impatiently. “I think you’re the one who


    has a death wish here. Your son was stupid enough to want to have Miss Danie Cabello, so of course,


    he had to die. And you’re trying to avenge him?”


    “Of course!”


    Thomas was so furious that a vein throbbed at his forehead. He could not be bothered to talk to jackie


    anymore, so he gathered his chi in his palm and channeled it into his sword. Then he shed the de


    toward jackie.


    A sudden sword aura infused with a lot of chi shed toward jackie, arcing into a sh of light.


    “Hmph!”


    The master of the Ladenberg family was a pretty strong fighter.


    However, jackie did not care for him. After he harrumphed coldly, he threw out his own sword aura.


    Another sword aura appeared. It was evident that it was much longer than Master Ladenberg’s, and the


    amount of chi that the older man’s attack contained could not bepared to jackie’s.


    A frightening sh rang out. The next second, Master Ladenberg’s sword aura had been destroyed by


    jackie’s. He had been no match for jackie’s power.


    “What!”


    Master Ladenberg was so shocked that he took a sharp intake of breath when he saw what happened.


    All color drained from his face.


    “No!”


    The remaining energy from jackie’s sword aura was rushing toward him. Master Ladenberg released a


    cry and used the elder next to him as a shield without giving a second thought.


    Bam!


    A dull thud rang out. Blood sprayed, and the elder stared at the gaping hole in his chest in disbelief. He


    looked at Master Ladenberg. “You…”


    After he said that, and as Master Ladenberg released his grip, the elder copsed onto the ground, no


    longer breathing.


    Chapter 1241


    Large beads of perspiration dropped from Master Ladenberg’s forehead. His face had gone white. He


    would have been the dead one if he had not reacted in time.


    “Go for him! Attack him together!”


    However, he saw the body of his son on the floor, and he saw the numbers he had on his side. Master


    Ladenberg gave the order.


    “Heh. You think that you can beat me because you have more people?”


    jackie chuckled and looked at Danie. “Please continue to eat. Just leave these vermin to me!”


    After he said that, he stamped his foot and rushed toward the men.


    “Okay!”


    A smile tinged Danie’s lips. Warmth filled her chest. jackie actually told her to stay put? It seemed that


    the man truly cared for her.


    Frightening sounds of fighting rang out. Many of those who were dining were terrified and jumped


    straight from the second floor in fear of being roped into the cacophony.


    The men from the Ladenberg family were no match for jackie. In a sh, they had all dropped onto the


    floor, chests no longer heaving.


    “Young Master jackie, you–you’re so strong!”


    Young Master Maack had pretended to find out about the situation and leisurely came forward to check


    the scene out. He was wickedly delighted when he saw the bodies on the floor, yet still, he pulled a mask


    of bewilderment. “You’re so strong. The master of the Ladenberg family is the strongest fighter in our city.


    I never thought that you would beat him so fast!”


    jackie gave him an impassive look and kept his sword. “Can I trouble you to clean the corpses up around


    here?”


    “Not a problem at all. I am at your service, Young Master White!”


    Young Master Maack immediately ordered his subordinates to clear the bodies up. He had been waiting


    that very day for a long time, but never had the opportunity to do so until then.


    “That felt good!”


    jackie walked over and sat beside Danie. “I don’t think anyone will be disturbing us now.”


    After he said that, jackie took huge swigs out of the wine bottle.


    Danie was internally speechless when she saw him drinking as though there was no tomorrow. “You


    can’t just drink like that, jackie,” she hurriedly reminded him. “It’s monkey wine. It’s not regr alcohol.


    You can’t drink it that way even if you have a high alcohol tolerance. It’s extremely potent, and even


    martial artists can easily get drunk on it!”


    Here, Danie paused before she continued, “Besides, only people who have drunk this twice or thrice


    before will be able to drink more as their bodies have adjusted to it. But even then, they can’t just gulp it


    down. You’ll definitely get drunk if you’ve never drunk it before!”


    “No way. Is–is it that strong?”


    jackie was internally speechless. He did not feel anything at all and had only thought that it was good


    wine. He had not cared much when Danie had advised him to drink it slowly, but he never thought that


    this wine would make even martial artists, drunk.


    Still, he suspected Danie’s words. Others might have gotten drunk because their alcohol tolerance was


    lower. His was naturally high.


    He smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. I know my own limit. I won’t drink anymore once I get dizzy!”


    “Oh, okay then. I just wanted to tell you because you were gulping it down!”


    Danie offered a wan smile and scooped some vegetables for jackie. “Eat up. This hotel’s restaurant


    has pretty good food!”


    Young Master Maack, who was arranging for the bodies to be cleared up and the area to be tidied,


    noticed her gesture toward jackie. What a lucky guy, to be able to be served by such a beautiful woman.


    Chapter 1242


    The two continued to savor the wine; jackie felt his muscles rxing as he drank from the bottle.


    After a while, the area had been cleaned up. The broken tables and chairs had all been carted away.


    However, there was no way to fix the gaping shes along the walls and the floor for the time being.


    Fortunately, jackie had been controlling his strength during the fight. The hotel might have been


    completely destroyed otherwise.


    After drinking for a while, jackie felt his head growing heavy.


    “This is some wine. I didn’t feel anything just now, but now I’m getting dizzy.”


    jackie’s face had gone all red. He blearily stared at Danie’s perfect features, as if he was being pulled


    toward them.


    He had to admit that the longer he looked at her, the prettier she seemed. No wonder many young


    masters of the shadow families wanted to court her.


    “Slow–slow down. I told you just now, didn’t I? People who are drinking this for the first time can’t take


    too much. And you didn’t believe me…”


    Danie felt extremely embarrassed with jackie staring at her. She dipped her chin slightly, her heart


    pounding.


    She had never experienced a feeling like this before.


    By the time she raised her head, she saw that jackie was already slumped over the table. It seemed that


    the alcohol had finally worked its way into his system.


    “Jeez. He’spletely drunk!”


    Danie did not know whether tough or cry at jackie’s drunken state. She walked over with a rueful


    smile on her face, lifting him up.


    “Let’s go, jackie. You’re drunk!”


    She supported jackie down the stairs.


    “I’m not drunk. I can take some more of that delicious wine!”


    jackie’s speech was slurred.


    “Never mind. I’ll just carry you!”


    At the staircase, Danie hefted jackie onto her back and strode downward.


    He was heavy, but he was easy enough to carry for Danie, who was at the peak of the demi-god


    status.


    She only put jackie down when they were at the concierge. “Give me two rooms please!” she told the


    staff.


    The beautiful woman at the concierge looked at the two of them. “My apologies, Miss, but only one room


    is left since it’ste,” she replied, smiling.


    “One?”


    When she heard this, Danie drew her brows together. It was evident that she was in a dilemma.


    However, she took one look at jackie beside her and said, “Fine. I’ll take the room!”


    After she paid, Danie supported jackie and went up the building.


    Chapter 1243


    Master Maack also quickly arrived at his family’s hotel. He headed for the concierge to look for his


    monkey wine.


    However, he got angry after searching for a while. He immediately called his son over. “Where’s my


    wine? There were three bottles of it. Why is only one left?”


    Young Master Maack proffered a smile when he heard that. “I gave two bottles of wine to two of our


    customers!”


    Master Maack was so furious that he nearly spewed blood when he heard this. That wine was so


    precious that he could not even bring himself to drink it, yet his son just gave it away to customers. Even


    if he had allowed customers to drink it, they should have at least paid a considerable sum of money for it


    instead, it was given away just like that.


    “Are you getting a kick out of seeing me angry? Those are my treasured possessions, which I had kept


    for so many years. And you just gave it to someone else?”


    Master Maack was livid. He shot his son a stormy look. “You ungrateful pig!”


    Young Master Maack gave a bitter smile. “You can’t just use me of that, Father,” he exined


    helplessly. “You would praise me if you knew the circumstances, and you would think that giving those


    two bottles of wine away was worth it!”


    “Worth it?”


    Master Maack was so angry that he was speechless. “Fine. Exin everything to me,” he huffed. “Let’s


    see how ‘worth it’ it can possibly be. If I think otherwise, I will give you two hard ps. Don’t think that I’ll


    spare your dignity!”


    Young Master Maack was internally speechless. “We had two extremely important figures who visited us


    over dinner, Father,” he exined. “One of them was the third daughter of the Cabello family. The other


    the young master of the White family. Heh. They helped us kill the fighters of the Ladenberg family, and


    now the Ladenberg family’s territory is ours. I’ve already ordered our men to handle the takeover. Do you


    think that it’s worth giving the two bottles of wine to them now?”


    “What!”


    Master Maack took a sharp intake of breath after he heard this. “Are you serious? So you’re saying that


    Master Ladenberg and his men are all dead?” he said excitedly. “If that’s the case, giving away those two


    bottles of wine was the best possible exchange to make!


    “Oh, are Young Miss Cabello and Young Master White still around? I need to drink with them just to see


    their faces for a bit.”


    Master Maack was extremely excited. The fury on his expression had long dissipated, and in its ce,


    there was pure delight.


    “They’ve gone! You don’t have the chance to drink with them anymore!”


    Young Master Maack smiled. “We were fortunate. It so happened that Young Master Ladenberg was


    drinking upstairs when he spotted the third daughter of the Cabello family, and he could not help but


    have dirty intentions toward her. That fellow sentenced the entire Ladenberg family to death!”


    “That’s fantastic. This way, nobody will dare to bully the Maack family in this city anymore!”


    Longing suddenly shed across Master Maack’s features. “It’s a pity though. Third Young Mistress


    Cabello is famed for her beauty. Not many can hope topete against her. It would have been nice if I


    could even catch a glimpse of her. I’ve never gotten the chance to see her myself.”


    He did not know that Danie had carried jackie into the room. She nudged the door close with her foot


    and supported jackie onto the bed.


    Yet just as she heaved a sigh of relief when they were at the foot of the bed, jackie fell straight onto the


    mattress. She was unsteady on her feet, so she fell along with him andnded atop his body.


    jackie’s handsome visage was right before her. Her heart thudded against her chest, and nervousness


    clenched her veins.


    “Water. I want water!”


    jackie felt extremely thirsty and spoke thickly.


    “All right. I’ll get water for you!”


    Danie shook herself to her senses and got up hurriedly, pouring water onto a cup for jackie.


    She helped him drink the water before cing it on the bedside table. Then she noticed that jackie was


    dead asleep on the bed already.


    “No way. He’s already sleeping!”


    Danie could not exin why a pang of disappointment filled her chest at the sight of his sleeping


    figure.


    Danie took a shower after taking off jackie’s shoes, then she settled herself on the bed beside him.


    She grew even more nervous as she studied his face.


    He was asleep, but this was the first time that she was lying next to a man in her entire life. Furthermore,


    he was a man she liked. How could she not be nervous?


    “He won’t realize it if I peck him, right?”


    Quickly, a daring thought fleeted across Danie’s head.


    Then she could not help herself anymore. She steadied herself on her palms and crawled over so that


    she was leaning over jackie, then she kissed him on the cheek.


    She quicklyid back down after that kiss, her heart drumming erratically. She was so nervous she could


    die.


    “Is–is this my first kiss!”


    Danie felt as though her heart was about to burst out of her ribcage. She had never been so daring in


    all her entire life before.


    However, she quickly thought that this did not count as her first kiss. Only a direct kiss would count, so


    that kiss was not counted.


    After she thought about it, Danie leaned over jackie’s body again, her gaze shifting toward his lips.


    After much deliberation, she clenched her teeth, supported herself on her palms, and nted a kiss on


    his lips.


    Warmth spread throughout her body after she kissed him. She had given her first kiss to someone she


    liked.


    “My first kiss has been taken by you,” she whispered as she looked at jackie. “You’re responsible for me


    now!”


    After she said that, sheid back down and finally closed her eyes contentedly.


    Slowly, she slipped into slumber as well. By the time she woke up, the sky was bright.


    She had been awake for two or three minutes when jackie also cracked his eyes open. He slowly


    registered that he was in a strange room, and took a sharp intake of breath.


    When he saw Danie beside him, he waspletely stupefied.


    “I–I was sleeping on the same bed as youst night?”


    jackie gulped when he saw Danie, who was wearing a nightgown. He never thought that he would get


    drunk. Besides, he had no recollection of how he had arrived there.


    “That’s right. There was only one bed here, so of course, we shared it!”


    Danie quickly sat upright and ducked her head bashfully. Her cheeks med so redly they looked as


    though they were about to catch fire.


    “No–no way. We–we didn’t do that right?”


    jackie was speechless. If he had bedded Danie while he was drunk, it would be troublesome.


    Chapter 1245


    Danie was stunned, and suddenly an evil thought popped up in her mind. Teasing might be a good


    idea under such circumstances, to see how jackie would react.


    After plotting the evil idea, Danie deliberately nodded her head and uttered in a diffident tone, “I’m your


    woman now. You…you have to be responsible for me!”


    “What the…No way, really? Did we both…”


    jackie was tongue-tied. For once he did not know what to do. How was he supposed to exin to his


    wife this time?


    “The bedsheet was even stained redst night, and I had to ask the housekeeper to change the sheet.


    You acted like a barbarian, didn’t even know how to treat ady tenderly…” Danie informed in a more


    bashful voice.


    jackie’s mind went foggy.


    His head was buzzing and spinning. He did not expect at all for himself to do such a thing with Danie


    after he got drunk.


    jackie took a while before he could react. “Why didn’t you get an extra room? Besides, I was drunk, why


    didn’t you push me away?” He looked at Danie, helplessly.


    Danie’s face sank immediately when she sensed a hint of mise on jackie’s face. “Now what? jackie,


    I didn’t expect you to be such an irresponsible man! I’ve given you my precious first time, how could…


    how could you deny it!”


    Danie groaned; her face full of belligerence. “Do you know how tired I was to carry you back alonest


    night? I asked for two rooms but there was only one avable!” She barked. “I was already exhausted


    and nned to get some rest after taking a shower. But at that time, you thought I was your wife, and


    you…you…you bully me!” She said in a sobbing tone.


    jackie could not bear to see a girl crying. With the fear of seeing Danie cry, he immediatelyforted


    her and his tone was full of panic. “Don’t, please don’t cry. I don’t mean it that way. I just…I just think that


    I’m a few years older than you, and you were not drunk at that time, so you can push me away!”


    Danie raised her head and faced jackie. She bit her alluring rosy pink lips and pouted, “But, I don’t


    care about your age at all. I like you, that’s all. Besides, I was exhausted after carrying you back to the


    room and I was a little tipsy at that time too. That’s why I didn’t push you away!”


    “Sigh! What should we do now? I promised my wife that I would only love her. But now we two… Sigh!


    Moreover, you’re still very young!”


    jackie gazed at Danie, who was six or seven years younger than him and felt bad about what had


    happened. This time he had stirred up big trouble. But, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not


    remember anything. Only images of him drinking, and more drinking ran across his mind. Then he felt


    dizzy and was eventually carried by someone on his or her back.


    Danie smiled sheepishly, looking at jackie’s embarrassed face. “Don’t worry about it. What’s done is


    done, it can’t be undone now. I’m now your girlfriend. But don’t tell your wife about us first. Wait until


    we’re closer with each other then we’ll tell her.” Danieforted him, trying her best not tough.


    jackie cast Danie a look and replied, “But, it won’t be fair to you right now!”


    Danie kept herughter in check, trying not to burst intoughter. “Hey, hey. It’s okay. As long as you


    treat me well in the future, I won’t feel unfair!” Danie put on a solemn tone and patted jackie’s shoulder


    tofort him.


    jackie went silent for a long time, before he finally said to Danie, “Then…thenter on when we return


    to the White family, you’ve to tell everyone that you’re my friend, okay? Sigh! I haven’t thought about how


    to tell Selena this…”


    jackie was kicking himself for getting so drunk and making such a foolish mistake. Danie even warned


    him not to drink the wine too quickly then.


    However, he was full of himself at that time, thinking that his alcohol tolerance was good, so he


    disregarded Danie’s warning. Now he had to reap what he had sown.


    “No problem!”


    Looking at lines appearing between jackie’s brows, Danie smiled contentedly. She then got up and


    went to the bathroom to change.


    jackie sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette, in hopes that it would calm his panicked soul.


    He waited until Danie was done washing up only then did he went to wash up too.


    When he stood before the mirror in the bathroom, jackie took a look at his cheeks, red lipstick marks


    imprinted on his cheek. “I’m so done for… It looks likest night we did really… What’s more, Danie is


    still a young girl. If I shove the responsibility away, the head of the Cabello family would kill me, right?”


    jackie sighed defeatedly.


    Chapter 1246


    jackie was rendered speechless. There was nothing he could do right now, he could only shut himself


    down, trying not to think about it first, and hoped that he had the chance to exin to Selena soon.


    After washing up, the two rode on the blood dragon horse and set off toward the direction of the main


    residence of the White family.


    Nheless, this time the feeling of awkwardness left jackie when he was holding Danie’s waist from


    behind on the horseback. Perhaps, it was because of what happenedst night that had made jackie at


    ease.


    On the contrary, he felt that Danie was stiff and awkward in front of him. Her cheeks were kissed pink,


    and her blush extended to the root of her ears.


    Soon enough, the two arrived at the bottom of the mountain and both hopped off the horse.


    “Young Master jackie!”


    The two bodyguards at the gate were shocked at jackie’s early return. jackie was supposed to visit plenty


    of White branch families by himself to select young masters toe over to the main White family. But


    how could he return in merely twenty days? Moreover, he brought back a beautiful woman!


    What shocked them the most was that the two rode on a horse together.


    “This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family. It just so happens that I coincidentally met her


    and saved her from the hands of brigands. She wanted toe over to visit the White family as well,


    that’s why she’s here with me!”


    jackie let out dry coughs, trying to cover up his embarrassed face.


    The two bodyguards were taken aback at this new piece of information. This beautiful woman before


    them was actually the legendary beauty queen of the Cabello family. The person in reality was much


    more stunning than in hearsays.


    “May I trouble you to take this horse to rest and feed him well? I won’t be riding him for a long time.”


    Danie beamed and handed the horse to one of the bodyguards.


    jackie eyed Danie and introduced in a serious tone, “Miss Danie, our residence is not as spacious


    and asrge as your Cabello family. Let me bring you to meet my father first!”


    “Hehe, it’s okay. Let me look at this ce. The scenery is breathlessly exquisite, not bad at all, and the


    spiritual energy surrounding your residence is dense too. No wonder the White family has developed so


    well and fast in recent years!”


    Danie chuckled. She followed jackie’s pace, walking toward the top of the mountain.


    Just after arriving at the square halfway up the mountain, jackie ran into Kylie who was ying with Lana


    and the others. He felt a sudden surge of happiness at the scene before him. “Kylie!” He beamed.


    Kylie wheeled her head. Her bright and brilliant huge eyes were immediately lit up. “Daddy!” She skipped


    toward jackie.


    “Sigh! That fe has finally returned!”


    Fiona smiled as she saw jackie at the square.


    However, after she noticed the other person’s existence standing beside jackie, an attractive and lovely


    woman, her brows immediately snapped together. “Who’s that woman beside jackie? Howe she


    came back with jackie? This woman looks like a vixen. Don’t tell me jackie found himself a second wife!”


    Lana immediately responded, “That’s not possible. jackie is not a callous man. Besides, I’ve never seen


    this woman before, and since she came with jackie, I guess she should be one of the masters that jackie


    picks from the branch families. She just so happened toe with jackie.”


    “Oh, that makes sense!”


    Fiona nodded, then again she furrowed and said, “This woman is a natural beauty, isn’t she?”


    Lana could not help but look in the direction of Danie after hearing Fiona’spliment for that woman.


    Not knowing why, Lana was feeling bitter, and perhaps jealous, in her heart. This woman looked younger


    than her, more good-looking than her and her skin was even more supple and smoother than hers. She


    was envious.


    “Hehe! Kylie, do you miss Daddy?”


    Chapter 1247


    jackie picked up Kylie who ran to him and nted a kiss on her cheek; his action was full of love and


    dote.


    “Mmm!”


    Kylie bobbed her head and said in a childish tone, “Mommy said she will ask you to take me to the town


    below the mountain to have fun when you return!”


    “Haha, alright, alright! I’ll take little Kylie and Mommy to go to the town and y together tonight!”


    jackie chortled wholeheartedly.


    “This is your daughter? She’s cute and good-looking!”


    Danie, who was standing next to jackie, could not help but smile awkwardly at the affectionate


    exchange between the Father and the Daughter.


    “Yup, her name is Kylie!”


    jackie smiled. He held Kylie in his arms and paced in the direction of Lana, Fiona, and the others.


    “Well. Needless to say, this beautiful woman, she is your wife, am I right? She really has a good figure!”


    Before jackie could introduce the others to Danie, she studied Lana and uttered with a smile stered


    on her face.


    Lana’s spirits immediately brightened, and her cheeks turned red. “No, no. I’m not his wife, I’m his


    disciple! My name is Lana!” She quickly exined.


    After the exnation, Lana looked at jackie and asked, “Master, and this girl is?”


    Only then did jackie smile and introduced Danie. “This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello


    family, Danie Cabello!”


    “The Cabello family? One of the eight shadow families?”


    After hearing jackie’s words, surprise dawned upon Lana’s face. How could she have imagined that the


    Third Young Mistress Cabello knew jackie and followed him back to the White residence?


    Moreover, they looked close. It seemed that the rtionship between the two was good.


    “Yes! You’re right!”


    “I heard that jackie’s wife is the queen of beauty. And when I looked at you, I thought you were his wife. I


    didn’t expect that his disciple would be such a beauty too. Hehe. The White family has a lot of pretty


    women, I presume.” Danie chucked and continued.


    Lana could barely conceal her delight after hearing Danie’s sincere praise for her. “I’m nowhere near a


    beauty. I heard that the Cabello family has three beautiful daughters who are known as the Three Golden


    Flowers; they’re all famous for their beauty. I think only those who live in the secr world would have


    not known your presence. Many shadow families are keen to meet any of you!”


    On the other hand, jackie smiled at the exchange and approached Fiona, “Ma, how’re you guys doing?


    Everything fine here?”


    Fionaughed in return. “Of course, everything is fine! Although Andrew and I were a little too old to start


    practicing martial arts, I heard from our inws that this ce is full of spiritual energy. So, if we live here


    all year round, we can live to very old age.” She chuckled and then continued, “Oh ya, the Taylor family


    came here as well and everyone loves it, especially your Grandpa Taylor! He nned to retire here and


    not leave this ce at all!”


    jackie’s heart stopped a few beats after listening to Fiona’s words. An unsightly look scrawled up his


    face. Fiona and Andrew were his own parents-inw, therefore it was still logical to bring them here. But


    it was strange to bring Old Master Taylor and the other Taylors here!


    “And my father allows it?”


    jackie frowned and asked.


    Fiona bobbed her head. “Yes. He even asked his men to build a house over there for some of the Taylor


    family to live in. Your Father said that since there are not many of us, it won’t be a big deal. Besides, if


    some of the young martial artists of the Taylor family want to improve their status, they would help to


    purify their bodies so that they can train better!”


    “Auntie, do you and Uncle want to train too?”


    Danie’s voice suddenly interrupted the conversation. After hearing the exchange, Danie, without


    blinking her eyes, approached Fiona and popped the question. This was a golden opportunity to please


    her future parents-inw! If they liked her and were happy with her, they would probably speak up for her


    in the future, then it would be more likely for Selena to ept her!


    Chapter 1248


    “Of course, we want to train! It’d be good even as elementary martial artists. At least our bodies will grow


    stronger and won’t catch a cold or fall sick easily. After training, the overall being is certainly stronger


    than ordinary people!”


    But, Fiona let out a bitter smile and said, “Unfortunately, jackie said that we have long passed the age of


    bing a martial artist. When you’re old, you can’t train and be a martial artist. It’s not only about


    the martial talent but also about our old body, it can’t withstand the process of purification!”


    However, to everyone’s surprise, Danie shed them a smile. “Well. There’s a way for both of you to


    train and be martial artists! And I know how!”


    jackie could not help but gasp at the information. “That’s impossible! What other ways do you have to be


    able to make them into martial artists?”


    “Are you serious? That’s amazing! Miss Cabello, do you really have a way? It’d be really great if we


    could train and be one!”


    Andrew felt a ray of sunshine flooded his old soul when he heard Danie’s words. He asked with an


    excitement stered over his face.


    Danie nodded again to affirm them, at the same time, rolled her eyes at jackie. “Tsk tsk. jackie, you’ve


    not experienced everything in this world, have you? There’s a forbidden pool in the Cabello family. The


    water inside that forbidden pool is a real treasure! This treasure allows the old or people with incapability


    to train to be a martial artist! This water is called the Bone Marrow Cleansing Water. The person


    only needs to drink a small sip of this water, and his body will be cleansed and purified! What’s more


    amazing is that there are no side effects and pain at all!”


    Excitement streaked through jackie like aet. “Is that real? The Cabello family has such a treasure!


    It’s really out of my expectation! So, does it mean that if my mother takes a sip of this water, she will be


    able to train and be a martial artist?”


    “Your mother is also amoner?”


    A quiet joy spread through Danie upon hearing. She was smiling inside. If that was the case, would not


    that mean that she would be able to please jackie’s mother as well? After all, jackie’s mother would be


    her future mother-inw!


    “Yes, my mother is amoner now. I hope that she can train and be a martial artist or perhaps a


    grandmaster in the future. Then that will be wonderful!”


    A bitter smile crept on jackie’s face. “The Bone Marrow Cleansing Water, since it’s a treasure of the


    Cabello Family and it’s at the forbidden ce, I’m afraid that you can’t just take it, right? Besides, this


    water is too precious, there shouldn’t be much of it, right?”


    Danie peeped at jackie and responded with a faint smile, “Don’t worry. Indeed, this water is very


    precious, even if others want it, I won’t hand it over. But since you’ve saved my life, and we’re now


    considered good friends, I’ll get it for you. Even if I have to steal it, I’ll get it for you!”


    “It’s not a good idea for you to steal. Why don’t you try asking your father if he’s willing to spare you


    some? If it’s not possible, just forget about it, I don’t want you to be in a difficult situation!”


    jackie gave some thoughts to the matter and uttered with a frown.


    However, Fiona—who stood beside him—heard jackie’s words and her face immediately turned


    unsightly. She went forward and shot jackie a deadly re, “What nonsense are you spewing?”


    After reprimanding jackie, she immediately approached Danie with a wicked smile. “Miss Cabello,


    there’s absolutely nothing wrong about it. This treasure belongs to your family, even if you took some of it


    when no one is looking, it’s alright too. You’re the Third Young Mistress Cabello, you’re only taking


    something from your family, it won’t be considered as stealing, right? Because that treasure is originally


    from your family!” Fiona held Danie’s hands in her palms and persuaded her in a sincere tone.


    Fiona paused for a moment before she continued, “Also, even after you took it, your father and the


    others won’t know that you’re the one who took it, right? If they don’t know about it, surely, they can’t do


    anything about it, and they won’t me you either.”


    jackie and Lana exchanged nces on the side, not knowing what to say. If a person took something


    when there was no one, was that not considered stealing? How could Fiona spew some unreasonable


    logic? Even though the treasure belonged to the Cabello family, it was not an ordinary thing. That water


    could be considered as one of the most precious and priceless treasures in this world. If that treasure


    were to be taken to an auction, it could be exchanged with a lot of high-grade spirited stones and


    materials!


    “Yes, Auntie, you’re absolutely right!”


    Danie smiled awkwardly, but she still reassured the audience, “Auntie, don’t worry about it. I’ll go get


    some for you guys no matter what. It’s indeed not much of it, but it’s definitely enough for a few people!


    Just think of this as a payback for jackie saving my life!”


    “Hehehe! Yes, you’re so right! You’re such a good kid who knows how to show gratitude!”


    Chapter 1249


    Fiona’s joy unfolded like a flower and her mouth curved into a smile. “Right, you and jackie are good


    friends, so whenever you have time, you shoulde to the White family to hang out together! Just treat


    it as your own home, do visit us more often!”


    “Ma, what are you talking about? The Cabello family is actually not on a good term with the White family.


    I don’t think such an offer is appropriate right now.”


    jackie was speechless at Fiona’s behavior. He reminded her.


    Danie, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at jackie and pouted unhappily, “Can’t Ie to visit at any


    time too?”


    jackie was tongue-tied once again. “Except for you, of course!” He smiled awkwardly.


    Lana studied the scene before her; she could not help but frown slightly. Why did she feel that jackie was


    somehow afraid of Danie? Was it her illusion or something else?


    “ jackie, you’re back!”


    At this time, Joan, who was strolling together with Nash, approached the group.


    “Yes, Mom. I thought thepetition would start soon, so I came back early for that!”


    jackie responded, smilingly.


    “This…isn’t this the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family? Danie Cabello, right? May I know why


    you’re here in the White’s residence?”


    Nash quickly recognized Danie of the Cabello family. His eyes were full of surprise but soon a few lines


    formed between his brows. After all, the Cabello family was not on good terms with the White family. Why


    did jackie bring her here?


    “Master White!”


    Danie looked at Nash and a hint of surprise red in her eyes. “Strange. I heard that Master White,


    you’ve gotten some strange disease and couldn’t even get off the bed now, right? But I can see that you


    look healthy, and your spirit is good!”


    Danie hade out of the Cabello family for more than a month and apparently, she did not receive


    any news about the things that had happened in the White family, not to mention the incident about the


    mutiny of the Third Elder and Lily Lagorio. If she was to stay in the Cabello family all this while, she


    would have known of the news.


    However, she was busy apanying jackie in the selection of masters among the White branch


    families, hence she was not well-informed of the news.


    Nash smiled, “Hehe, thanks to my son who not only possesses powerfulbat prowess but also


    acquires excellent medical skills and knowledge! He studied my condition and made an antidote for me!”


    Danie turned to jackie and then wheeled back to Nash. “Wait, what…what do you mean? jackie is your


    son? He…he is the son of Master White?” Danie took a sharp intake of breath.


    “Hahaha! Yes! He is my son, my best son and I’m so proud of him! He is also the heir to the family head


    of the White family!”


    Nash eximed with his face full of pride and delight, as though his son was the king of the world.


    Chapter 1250


    “What’s wrong? You didn’t know jackie is my son?”


    Nash lifted an eyebrow, confused about the current situation. Danie followed his son back to the White


    family, but she did not know that jackie was his son? It seemed like this young woman had no evil


    thoughts.


    Perhaps, jackie knew that she was kind-hearted and without wicked thoughts, only then he allowed her


    to follow him.


    “I didn’t know! He didn’t tell me!”


    Danie rolled her eyes at jackie again. “Eh? Wait a minute! Don’t you have only one son, called Lance


    White?”


    “Miss Cabello, I’ll exin it to you personally when I’m freeter. As for why I didn’t tell you that I’m the


    son of the family head, it’s because you didn’t ask about me either!”


    jackie gave a wan smile and replied.


    Danie chortled, “I thought that you might be the son of some elder or Patronum. I didn’t expect that


    your background is actually that noble!”


    “By the way, Miss Cabello, may I know why you havee to visit the White family?”


    Nash spoke out the doubts in his mind with a faint smile on his face.


    “It just so happens that I encountered some strong b*stard in my journey; they captured me and Young


    Master jackie rescued me from their hands. Besides, I was curious about where the White family was, so


    I follow him to take a look!” Danie chuckled in return.


    Once thest word dropped, Danie flipped her palm and two second-grade elementary spirited grass


    appeared in her grip. She then handed them to Nash and said, “Master White, this is my first visit to the


    White family and I didn’t prepare any good gift. These are just some small gifts, hope you would like it!”


    “Second-grade elementary spirited grass?”


    The two elders who were standing beside Nash eximed aloud and their eyes lit up at the appearance


    of the spirited grass. They rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had seen it wrongly. First-grade premium


    spirited grass was already considered as a rtively high-level treasure and a rare one; it was suitable


    for artists who were at the demi-god level or perhaps those who were at the early stage of the true god


    level.


    As for this second-grade elementary spirited grass, the chi energy inside was several times more than


    the first-grade premium spirited grass! Such treasure was absolutely incredible.


    The elders gulped at the second-grade spirited grass. Was this Third Young Mistress Cabello a little bit


    too generous? She could simply give only one stalk of spirited grass, but she gave two!


    “This, this is too generous of you! Miss Cabello, such treasure is too precious to take!”


    Nash thought that the spirited grass was too precious and expensive to ept. He shook his hands,


    refusing to take them.


    “Oh no. If you don’t ept it, it means that you look down on the Cabello family. Or you secretly think


    that the gift is too petty?”


    Danie pouted and put on an angry expression on her face on purpose.


    Nash sweated with awkwardness. This young little woman was a little too domineering, was not she?


    How could she actually use a provocative method on Nash?


    jackie, on the other hand, chucked aside. “Father, just ept it. It represents Danie’s sincerity too!”


    “Alright then. I’ll take it. Thank you!”


    Nash gave a warm smile, and only then did he take the spirited grass.


    jackie turned to Joan and said, “Mother, by the way, Danie said that the Cabello family has a treasure


    that allows people to train and be a martial artist without any side effects after drinking it. And she


    will find a way to get it for you, and also for parents-inw!”


    “What? Are you serious? But is it okay to take it?”


    The words elevated Joan’s mood in an instant and she felt dizzy with excitement. She imagined such a


    treasure must be worth a lot. The White family did not even possess such a treasure, only the Cabello


    family had it. She truly did not know how to thank Danie for such a treasure.
