Behind him stood Arnard and Ember. He looked at Ember for a moment. This was the first time he was looking at her this closely.
Now that she stood closer to him, he felt her emotions clearly. A smile appeared on his face when he noticed her annoyance while standing next to Arnard.
"Little beauty is not a little sheep but a firecracker," he muttered while walking towards her.
Arnard looked at the boy walking towards them in anger. This was the second time he was ignored by this boy.
As he tilted his head to look at Ember, he saw her face also looking in the direction of that boy.
"Bitch, you are clearly behind men. Acting like a detached whore every day," anger burned in his eyes as he thought that.
"Miss, would you like to come with me?" at this moment, Asher's voice sounded in his ear.
When he looked up, he saw Asher standing with a smile, extending his hand toward Ember.
"What are you? Boy, don't try to eat a phoenix, or you will die horribly," Blocking Ember behind him, Arnard shouted in a cold voice. He took out a sword from his space ring and got ready to fight.
"Where did this stinky dog come from?" But without even looking at him, Asher parted his lips with a smile.
"You..." Arnard struggled for words. His face puffed in anger.
But when he was ready to attack, a soothing female voice sounded from behind.
"I got this dog from a group of dogs waiting outside," a smile appeared on Ember's face.
Arnard looked back at her in surprise. His eyes widened.
This was the first time she spoke with such a tone. This was not something Arnard had imagined from her.
A smile crept into Asher's eyes as he looked at her. "Then why stick with a stinking dog? Come with me," he said, bypassing Arnard and extending his hand to her.
But this time, she also held onto his hand, surprising Arnard even more. He had heard that she never liked to be touched by anyone, even females.
"Ember, stop there. Senior Brother Austin told me to protect you in the Qi world. Did you forget that?" Seeing that both of them were walking away, he shouted.
A smirk appeared on his face when he noticed that both of them stopped in their tracks.
"Senior Brother Austin?" Asher asked in her ear, moving closer to her, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
Ember felt his hot breath on her earlobe. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks. But a smile appeared on her face.
Her hand moved from his hand to his waist. "A dog, but stinking less," she quipped.
Arnard was clearly stupefied. He looked at the boy and girl standing in front of him with wide eyes.
Ember's movement toward Asher surprised him even more. However, when he fully heard her words, anger appeared on his face.
"Ember, is this how you talk about Senior Brother? He accompanied you over this long distance just to protect you!" he gritted his teeth.
Ember paused slightly. "I never asked for that," a cold voice escaped from her mouth. This tone was 180 degrees opposite the way she spoke to Asher.
Arnard clenched his fists in anger. He had always had a crush on her. He had firmly believed in his mind that she would become his possession in the future.
Now, seeing her intimate actions with a wild boy, an unknown fire burned in his heart.
"Bitch…" a cursing voice escaped from his mouth. But before he could complete the whole sentence, a crystal sword appeared in front of him.
"What..." his voice got stuck in his mouth as his head separated from the rest of his body.
"Boring," Asher muttered as he took the Crystal sword back into his hand. However, this time the crystal sword flew into Ember's hands. He was left speechless.
"Sword pervert,"
Ember held the crystal sword in her hand, feeling its excitement. A smile appeared on her face. "Chaos sword," she called, rubbing its blade.
"Chaos sword! So your name is Chaos Sword," Asher spoke as he looked at the coquettish sword.
He secretly tried to call it back to his heart, but it pretended not to hear his words.
"You are a coquettish sword," he and Elara spoke at the same time.
Hearing a female voice from his side, Ember looked at him in surprise. He took Elara out of his hair and handed it to her.
Ember looked at the little snake in her hand with surprise. A beast that could speak was clearly a mythic creature.
She had never imagined that he had a Mystic beast as a pet.
She rubbed the snake's head. Elara narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Observing this, Asher stood there, stupefied.
His pet and sword were behaving coquettishly towards the women, which caused his heart to race.
"Sister, I am a dragon," enjoying the special attention from Ember, Elara spoke in an excited tone.
If no one else were present, she would have been willing to reveal her true form.
However, the presence of a dragon would alert other beasts in this portal, which wasn't good considering their current strength.
"Ember, I had a doubt..." Asher opened his mouth. He felt that it was important to share his feelings from his heart, but he struggled to find the right words.
"I know," Ember spoke with a sigh, looking at him.
"I've always felt drawn in your direction," she said, her voice soft as she looked at him.
In a delicate yet deliberate gesture, she reached up and gently pulled the blindfold away from her eyes.
He watched her actions in surprise. As her eyes met his, a surge of emotions welled up within him.
Her eyes were as beautiful as red pearls, and her long eyelashes were perfectly arranged to enhance her ethereal beauty.
His breath quickened as he saw her looking at him with those captivating eyes. "You are so beautiful," he blurted out.
A smile graced her lips upon hearing his words. With the blindfold on, she seemed like a detached fairy, but without it, she transformed into a passionate female warrior.
"So, it's me who's always been drawn to you. It's because of me…" Her fingers trailed from his eyes to his lips, then down to his neck, finally resting on his racing heart.
"Your heart beats for me," she whispered into his ear, sending shivers down his spine.
"You…" He struggled for words, but he pulled her into a waist embrace. Burying his face in her neck, he inhaled her sweet fragrance.
Suddenly, a slight pain shot through his neck. He felt her teeth sink into his skin, causing a momentary ache.
Afterward, his eyelids grew heavy, and he lost consciousness.
"So, I was the one who always searched for you. I am always yours," only a female voice reverberated in the air.
