<h4>Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: Women’s Schemes</h4>


    "Listen to me exin!"


    Julius Reed raised his hand, somewhat flustered.


    When it came to fighting, he never held back!


    But facing a woman, Julius Reed got a headache!


    How was he supposed to know such a situation would ur!


    Once he entered that ethereal state, his attention would be extremely focused.


    Noticing these details was simply impossible!


    Truly difficult!


    "No need to exin. A real man, I’m not asking you to take responsibility, nor am I holding you ountable." Baylor Davenport coldly spoke.


    Her expression was very calm.


    Julius Reed even had some doubts about whether she was doing it on purpose?


    Honeytrap?


    But probably not.


    Baylor Davenport, although part of an opposing force, during her time at The North Sea royal court had many unpleasant encounters with him, yet she cared greatly about her own integrity.


    It seems, her concentration was also too intense.


    "I was also trying to save you..." Julius Reed felt a bit awkward.


    The incident did indeed happen.


    He suddenly remembered the time in Swimming City when he seemed to inadvertently touched Gabriel Young.


    But Gabriel Young’s reaction perfectly gave Julius Reed a way out and also defused the awkwardness.


    Truly, mature women are more considerate.


    These young girls are ungrateful!


    "What a blunder!" Julius Reed shook his head, the aura immediately dissipating.


    Regardless of intention, whether intentional or inadvertent, this was indeed his mistake.


    "If that’s the case, I’d rather die." Baylor Davenport said coldly, "If there’s nothing else, let’s continue our journey."


    After speaking, she jumped onto the Mont Horse, eyes brimming with tears.


    But she didn’t shed them.


    "Alright!" Julius Reed, like a child who had done something wrong, leapt onto the Mont Horse and started heading towards Boulevard.


    The more he thought, the more something felt off.


    Baylor Davenport’s character was so fiery, how could she be so willing to bury the hatchet like this?


    In The North Sea, even a yful smack on her behind led to a chase to the death!


    He was almost castrated.


    Luckily, Sris Grove, as a willing scapegoat, blocked that knife for him.


    How could Baylor Davenport be this quiet now?


    Suddenly!


    He understood!


    Retreat to advance!


    Baylor Davenport acting soposed would certainly induce feelings of guilt in Julius Reed.


    First, it would make him strive to save her at all costs.


    Secondly, on the journey, he wouldn’t speak disrespectfully or treat this North Sea princess with a superior attitude.


    Clever indeed!


    Women are truly not to be trifled with.


    If Julius Reed hadn’t had encounters with Nelson, Que Radcliffe, and Gabriel Young this past year, he absolutely couldn’t have guessed this line of reasoning.


    But when ites down to it, since he was at fault, he definitely needed to make amends.


    A man must take responsibility.


    "I just checked briefly." Julius Reed broke the silence: "Believe it or not, there’s a small orb inside you. This orb is what the principal had you ingest as the so-called ’medicine.’ And the water you drank with the medicine is liquid gold-mercury. When the gold-mercury circtes with the spiritual power inside you, the orb represents the sun. When the gold-mercurypletes a circle and enters the orb, it signifies night within you."


    "Is that so..." Baylor Davenport’s thoughts aligned exactly with Julius Reed’s.


    She knew she was at a disadvantage, so she simply endured without speaking, allowing Julius Reed to feel guilty towards her.


    Originally, Baylor Davenport nned not to speak the entire journey.


    But upon hearing this shocking truth, she couldn’t help but utter a sound.


    "The principal... the principal actually..." Her heart started pounding wildly!


    Though she long had a bad premonition, she never imagined someone would remodel her body to represent heaven and earth!


    "This is not your principal’s creation." Julius Reed didn’t intend to hide it from Baylor Davenport and straightforwardly admitted: "This was... a manuscript from my ancestral family. A thousand years ago, this manuscript was stolen, and to think by chance, I encountered the victim."


    He certainly couldn’t im it was his own writing.


    If he said so, Baylor Davenport wouldn’t believe it!


    This forbidden book must have been in Ocean Academy for many years!


    And his face looked incredibly young.


    If Baylor Davenport believed that, his identity would be exposed.


    Besides the Holy Lord, who could live a thousand years without aging?


    Who could create such a manuscript?


    Baylor Davenport, the North Sea princess, may be innocent, may be sweet, but at crucial moments, she is by no means foolish!


    "Your family’s?" As expected, Baylor Davenport was skeptical.


    "How could it be such a coincidence!" Such a coincidence is hard to believe.


    "Fate does work like that sometimes." Julius Reed exined: "The family heirloom manuscript lost for nearly a thousand years, but the stories passed down orally through generations! We’ve searched for countless years, and Heaven’s continued diligence actually led me to meet you. Ocean Academy, in its grandeur, indulges in such petty thefts and pilfering!"


    "You..." Baylor Davenport was about to retort but swallowed her words.


    How could she counter this?


    The principal practiced forbidden books, framed Curtis Channing, and even sent confidants to assassinate Ragnar Frost, framing ck-wind Academy.


    Being capable of such deeds, isn’t he just a hypocrite?


    Moreover, too many coincidences exist in the world; inwardly, Baylor Davenport was already convinced.


    "When we reach Boulevard, you need to assist me in investigating Brant Fairbanks’ motives, understand?"


    Julius Reed reminded once more.


    He needed Baylor Davenport’s unwavering cooperation to deliver a fatal strike to Brant Fairbanks!


    "Alright." Baylor Davenport nodded and after a brief silence, softly inquired: "This manuscript and my body..."


    "The vastness of the universe is beyond a mortal’sprehension. Our family across generations, for thousands of years, has not fully unraveled its mysteries. The method used on you was merely an attempt by my ancestor. Yet due to its significant risk, he never truly tried it. As for your body..."


    Julius Reed stopped mid-sentence.


    "What about my body!" Baylor Davenport became anxious.


    She had no remedy for regrets now, and all her hopey in the man behind her.


    The more she thought, the more fear she felt!


    If the principal truly valued her, why secretly impart the manuscript?


    Moreover, repeatedly urging not to disclose it.


    The reason being, only closed-door disciples were qualified to practice it, and Baylor Davenport being new might incite discontent among the academy’s seasoned disciples.


    Why?


    Why would a rookie entering the academy be given such importance?


    Ocean Academy was full of geniuses!


    By qualifications, Baylor Davenport was certainly not top-tier.


    But at that time, fueled by vengeance, she didn’t think further and agreed immediately.


    Now in hindsight, was it because of her identity as the North Sea princess?


    Yet Ocean Academy held itself in high esteem, so why treat a fallen princess this way?


    Baylor Davenport was in turmoil!


    This feeling of plunging from paradise into hell was unbearable!


    "What is truly happening with my body?" Baylor Davenport was unwilling to give up!


    She had so much yet to do; she was in her prime!


    Was she just going to die like this?


    She wanted to return and confront Brant Fairbanks!


    But was this possible?


    Or assassinate that hypocritical principal?


    Even less so!


    Her power could desert her at any moment!


    And Brant Fairbanks was enigmatic, beyond her ability to harm!


    "Tell me quickly! What is truly happening to my body!" Baylor Davenport urged, nearly pleading, with a sobbing tone.


    The despair, the unwillingness...


    "It’s rather soft." Julius Reed said casually.


    Baylor Davenport was in grief, crying.


    Those three words rendered her stunned!


    "What did you say?"


    She turned directly to look into Julius Reed’s eyes, in disbelief!


    "Don’t worry. With me here, you won’t die." Julius Reed coughed lightly.


    He deliberately said this to ease Baylor Davenport’s emotions.


    "If I die, you must kill someone for me!" Baylor Davenport suddenly spoke softly. "In Swimming City, there’s someone who toyed with me..."


    "Sorry, I can’t."


    Julius Reed cut her off immediately, what a joke.


    He couldn’t kill himself?


    What a beautiful wish!


    PS: Happy New Year.


    Wishing everyone good health and all things as you wish in theing year.
