Chapter 423 Holy Maiden

Baryl continued, “Simon may seem peculiar, but his intentions towards you are genuine. Do you understand why he took off his ring earlier but then put it back on?”

Mauve glanced at Baryl, her eyes wet with tears. “Why?”

Baryl explained, “This ring is a treasure. Simon initially wanted to leave it with you, but he decided to take it back out of concern. He didn't want the ring to inadvertently bring you any trouble or danger.”

Hearing that, Mauve burst into tears.

She sobbed for a while before wiping her tears dry and getting to her feet. Without hesitation, she ran out and headed toward Heavenly Cave.

Simon thought he was doomed.

When he woke up, the sun was up.

To be exact, it was two in the afternoon.

Simon discovered he was lying in Baryl's bed. There was a glass skylight on the roof, allowing the sunlight to stream into the room.

Through the sunlight, one could see the dust floating everywhere.

There was dust everywhere in this world, and with every breath they took, everyone would unknowingly inhale particles of dust. However, the dust was barely visible to the naked eye.

Right now, Simon could see the dust clearly.

He sat up abruptly and realized his body was nursed back to health. The golden king silkworm in his body had disappeared, along with the poison.

He felt free, relaxed, and strong again.

He was no longer restrained and could do whatever he wanted.

Simon let out a loud roar before he jumped off the bed and ran out of Baryl's house.

At the mountain's summit, Simon dashed out, his eyes fixed on the majestic expanse of mountains before him. The warm sunlight embraced his body.

He could feel the exhilarating surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, a sensation he had been missing for far too long.

He had been frustrated for too long.

However, Simon's delight didn't last for long. He suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did my poison get cured suddenly? Did Marlington King finally take action?

That thought merely served to increase Simon's confusion.
