Cherished By Seven Sisters by Melvin Houle

Chapter 327 Sis Karina

With a playful chuckle, Karina proceeded to collect some of the crystal-clear water nearby, using it to gently dab her face. After several attempts, she managed to cleanse her face, revealing her true beauty, which radiated with a mesmerizing glow.

Emrys, momentarily speechless, finally found the words to express his thoughts, “It’s truly astonishing. You possess such natural beauty, and yet you seem determined to hide it beneath a layer of dirt… Wait, did you just mention tomb raiding?”

It took a moment for the seriousness of Karina’s earlier statement to sink in, but when it did, Emrys couldn’t hide his astonishment. “Karina, that’s incredibly reckless of you! To think you would go as far as to disturb someone’s final resting place?”

“Disturb? Oh, come on, Rys, you’ve got it all wrong,” Karina replied, her expression a mix of frustration and disbelief. “The tombs I explore have long been forgotten, with no one to claim them. I’m not there to disrupt the peace; I’m simply searching for demonic magic items…”

Clearly annoyed, Karina paused, as if a sudden realization had struck her. “Wait a second, didn’t your mentor ever take you on a tomb exploration?”

“My mentor?”

Emrys found himself utterly confused by Karina’s strange question, almost convinced that she was delving into absurdity.

But Karina quickly clarified, “Yes, your teacher, Athos. And mine is Mystique. Given their mentor- student relationship, doesn’t that make Athos my senior?”

“Uh…”

At that moment, Emrys felt as though his mind had been engulfed by a whirlwind of confusion.

He vaguely remembered the old friar mentioning that his spiritual name was indeed Athos, but Emrys had always assumed that his mentor was a solitary sect leader.

Karina’s revelation, however, painted a very different picture, one that Emrys had never considered.

After regaining his composure, he ventured, “So, what
