Chapter 2388: Sisters in Unison

Zu An looked at her coldly, saying, “I can bring you into that spacetime fragment, but you must tell me the cure as soon as we enter. Otherwise, you will experience torture thousands, no, tens of thousands of times worse than what you just experienced without any hope of reincarnation.”

Salamay was about to say something when Zu An reached out a hand and waved it at her. In that instant, she felt as if her soul had left her body. Before she could even to what was going on, she was taken into a world without daylight.

The Monster World had conquered countless worlds. They had used countless bitter torture methods against the rebels of those worlds. Thus, Salamay had thought she was already an expert on the topic. But compared to what was in front of her, they weren’t even worth mentioning.

The Continuous Hell had countless grieving souls trapped inside. Every single one of the torture methods they experienced was many times worse than the suffering caused by the Lifedeath Pill Salamay had just consumed. Just a look alone almost made her faint.

Her eyes blurred, and she returned to reality a moment later. She gave Zu An a look of fear. A strong dread had been planted in the depths of her heart. She knew that what she saw was definitely no illusion, but rather a place that really did exist.

This man actually controls such a terrifying place!

She didn’t dare to continue acting as arrogant as before. She forced a smile and said to Zu An, “As long as your respected self brings us there and promises to let me and Uncle Mo go free, I will naturally tell you the method to save her. I wouldn’t dare to deceive you at all.” When she saw the displeasure in his eyes, she quickly added, “The reason why I am only going to speak there is because there is a certain ingredient needed to aid her innate Cruel Poison Constitution that can only be found in that world.”

Zu An was surprised. She didn’t seem to be lying. As such, he asked, “Will it be a bit faster if I bring Xiaoxi with me?”

After some hesitation, Salamay replied, “I believe so.”

Ji Xiaoxi voiced her agreement. She looked at him with watery eyes. “As long as I'm by big brother Zu’s side, I won’t be scared of anything.”

When he saw how obedient she was, Zu An couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.

Xiaoxi is so adorable, I definitely have to protect her well.

Jiang Luofu said, “I’m going with you.”

Zu An was a bit hesitant, but Jiang Luofu continued, “You still have other things to take care of in that world. With me there, I can help you take care of Xiaoxi.”

Zu An figured that made sense too. Not only did he have to find the cure for Ji Xiaoxi’s condition, he had to solve that world’s issues. He definitely couldn't let someone else destroy the World Law Beacon.

“Fine!” He knew that Jiang Luofu was mature and her cultivation wasn’t bad, so he agreed.

Pei Mianman walked over and said, “I’m coming too.”

Yun Yuqing and Suolun Shi both said in unison, “That’s right. How can we just do nothing when this is for little sister Xiaoxi’s sake?”

Zu An was a bit hesitant. That world was just too dangerous.

Pei Mianman said secretly, “Salamay, Mojard, the True Demon race elders, and even a mysterious Time Scribe are going. Things will be too difficult to handle all by yourself. If we go with you, we can help you if something happens.”

Zu An knew that what she said made sense. No matter how powerful one person was, there was still only so much he could attend to at one time. But still, that world was a bit too dangerous for them.

Yun Yuqing seemed to have guessed at what he was thinking. She said with a smile, “Ah Zu, please don’t treat us as just pretty flower vases. We were all pretty strong before we met you, you know?”

Suolun Shi also said with a smile, “Even though I’m not as amazing as my big sisters, I was one of the most outstanding members of the Fiend races' younger generation. I frequently experienced life-threatening trials. Big brother Zu, you really don’t need to worry for the sake of our safety.”

Zu An thought what they were saying was reasonable. These were all the most outstanding of women, who didn’t need to depend on him. If he always protected them under his wings and prevented them from experiencing any danger, it would only end up affecting their growth.

“In that case, we’ll all work as one and give that mysterious world a go.” Zu An immediately changed his attitude.

The women all piled their hands on top of each other’s. Ji Xiaoxi was really moved, saying, “Thank you, big sisters!”

The other women all stroked her head. “Xiaoxi, the way you’re talking is making us seem like strangers. Would you only watch with folded arms if something similar happened to us?”

Ji Xiaoxi’s face reddened a bit, but she firmly said, “Of course not!”

“Then isn’t it fine? We’re sisters, so we should do everything together!” Pei Mianman had a lovely smile on her face.

Jiang Luofu’s expression became a bit strange.

Isn’t my status a bit unsuitable to be considered one of these sisters?

Does Pei Mianman know something?

However, everyone seemed to be really inspired, so she also shouted, “Strength that can break steel!”

As the True Demon great elder watched their joyous and harmonious behavior, he thought to himself that Donaire was also a famous playboy, but he was far inferior to the regent. At the very least, Donaire had never had such peaceful relations with the women around him.

Sigh, not even his strongest suit could compare to this regent. No wonder he ended up being defeated by the regent.

Salamay wrapped some spare clothes around herself and stared at that small group. She felt a pang of regret. If she had been even a bit sincere to ‘Donaire’ back then, rather than only trying to use him and kill these women after, perhaps she'd even be able to be with him right now. At that point, how could those other women win against her?

After she realized that, she felt more and more regret and bitterness.

What right do they have to enjoy themselves like this?

Why is my fate always so bitter?

Why do all bad things always happen to me?

I can’t accept this!

The Time Scribe saw Zu An walk up to him. He couldn't help but say with a sigh of praise, “Your respected self’s luck with women really is enviable. I’ve seen my fair share of powerful individuals with many beautiful women at their sides too, but rarely do they feel true love like this, and for the women to even get along with each other so well.”

Pei Mianman and the other women's faces immediately became bright red when they heard that. Their hands shot back at lightning speed.

Zu An coughed lightly. He was clearly not in the mood to discuss such things with him. “You can rest for a bit at the Demon race's territory; I have some things to prepare. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

The Time Scribe was a bit shocked. “I recall that a blood sacrifice is needed to activate the Nature Jade case.”

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Mianman and the other women. The Demon race saintesses were supposed to be sacrifices.

Zu An calmly said, “I’ve already analyzed the principles of the formation. We only need a bit of pure bloodline essence power as replacement. We don’t need to use live sacrifices.”

The Time Scribe bowed. “The regent’s mastery of formations is truly admirable.” He then handed over the Nature Jade case and said, “I shall return this to its rightful owner.”

Salamay’s eyes were burning with rage.

Is this guy blind?! I was clearly the original owner!

Zu An was a bit surprised as he stored away the Nature Jade case. When he confirmed that it was the real deal, he asked in confusion, “Are you not worried that I will go back on our deal and not take you into that world?”

The Time Scribe smiled. “I believe that your respected self is definitely not the type to go back on his word. Furthermore, I have already received your honor’s vocal promise, so we have already made an agreement. I do not need to fear any backing out of this deal.”

“An agreement?” Zu An became a bit vigilant. Could it be that this was another one of the tTime Scribes’ sinister skills?

“Your distinguished self needs not feel nervous. We Time Scribes are actually very specia; you cannot understand us in the same way as humans or other living creatures. We are beings who attach ourselves to the strong, whose destinies flourish. As long as these strong beings exist, we will also exist.” The Time Scribe chuckled. “Based on our earlier interaction, as well as the promise that I received, I have already established enough of a bond. That is why even if you go back on the deal and enter that world alone, I will still be able to follow you on my own.”

Zu An’s eyes narrowed. “Does that mean that from now on, you will always continue to exist at my side?”
