Chapter 1201
“Master Mason, what do you mean by bringing all these people?”

When the Chief of Windfall Pavilion arrived at the square, his face immediately sank to the deepest bottom of the abyss. He did not expect the head of the White branch family—Mason White—to bring over elders and experts of grandmaster level.

He knew by heart that the people in the White branch family had not dared to fight against them all this while. Unless the White had a certain degree of confidence and certainty that they would win the fight. Moreover, he knew extremely well that the main White family had never seemed to care about this matter at all, hence dared not act recklessly and launch attacks at them.

Besides, what frightened the other party the most was once they fought against the Windfall Pavilion; their loss would be so great that it would affect the whole White branch family. It was not worth it at all.

The only thing that the Chief of Windfall Pavilion did not foresee was that Mason had brought someone with him today.

Mason snorted frostily. He clapped his hands as a signal.

Without warning, several men of the White branch family stepped out from the crowd and threw the heads of Patronum Lanich and the gang onto the ground.

“You…”

The Chief of Windfall Pavilion’s face immediately went white as though all color drained out of his face. “Master Mason, what do you mean by this? How could you simply kill our men? And I don’t remember any of us have robbed you recently!” The Chief hissed angrily.

“Master Mason, don’t think that we’d be afraid of you! We drink blood like the vampires; we’re not ordinary men and certainly not afraid of shedding blood! And our overall combat prowess is no worse than yours!”

Several elders of the Windfall Pavilion huffed and puffed.

“Oh, let me tell you. Today at the bottom of the mountain, near our village, your people robbed our elder’s wife and daughter and even tried to force them both to…”

Mason sneered with an angry smile hanging on his face. “You people are getting bolder and bolder; you’ve crossed the impassable line! Today is your last day on the earth!”

“You’re gonna exterminate us? Heh! Funny! It’s easier to brag, isn’t it?”

The Chief of Windfall Pavilion laughed sarcastically at Mason’s statement. He then balled his fists, and a layer of chi energy enclosed his fists, vibrating vigorously. He swung his fist and blasted toward Mason.

Nevertheless, at this time, jackie moved like a thunderbolt and stood in front of Mason. He blasted his fist against the Chiefs.

A loud thud rang. The seemingly simple punch made a terrifying collision, and the next scene was the Chief of Windfall Pavilion flying several meters backward.

It was thirty meters worth of strength. The Chief of Windfall Pavilion dropped onto the ground, his throat twitched, and a mouthful of warm red liquid spurted out of his mouth—blood.

“You…who the h*ll are you? You have the strength of a true god level, how is that possible? Such combat strength…you’re already at the middle stage of the true god realm, am I right?”

After testing out jackie’s true strength, terror thundered down upon the Chief. No wonder… No wonder Mason and the others would dare to come up the mountain and announce the extermination of the Windfall Pavilion. The White family did actually possess such a strong and powerful force.

“Who am I? It doesn’t matter anymore!”

jackie smiled blandly before he slowly spewed a few more words. “You only have to know that, from today onward, your life belongs to me!”

“Kill them all and leave this fella to me!”

After the last word of his sentence dropped, jackie waved his hand and gave the order.

Chapter 1202
“Holy moly! A strength of the middle stage of the true god realm? That’s too..”

Several great fighters of the Windfall Pavilion’s faces slowly became unsightly after hearing the Chief’s words.

In fact, the Chief of Windfall Pavilion had always reminded them that since the White branch family was in close vicinity to them, it would be acceptable if they snatched some of their resources, but they should not cross the boundaries and kill any of them. If they had really angered the other party and the other party decided to fight against them, they would not at all be their opponents.

The Chief believed that if it was merely some petty snatches and robs, Mason and his people would endure.

On the contrary, for several other families, if they were out to hunt for the resources and materials, the people of Windfall Pavilion could act rougher and more reckless toward them. Once the men of Windfall Pavilion finds out that the other party was alone or was a group of juniors, they would rob them mercilessly. After all, several other families did not even know where the Windfall Pavilion was. Hence, even if they wanted to avenge their people, it was not easy to do so.

The Chief of the Windfall Pavilion did not expect at all that Patronum Lanich and the others had targeted an elder of the White branch family. If this were not asking for a death wish, what would it be then?

The Chief of Windfall Pavilion’s face became paler and paler once he thought of it. “Hold up!” He extended his arm in a panic and gestured a stop sign with his palm.

The men of the White branch family were just about to charge toward them but halted when they heard the Chief’s words.

The Chief stood up from the ground and paced toward jackie. He bowed before jackie and said, “Sir, I don’t understand. I have not offended you at all, why did you help the White branch family? Even if it’s one of my people who made a mistake that they shouldn’t have, you don’t have to intervene in this matter, right?”

He knew by rote that, in general, such a powerful person did not like to meddle in nosy matters. Hence, he truly could not fathom the other party’s behavior at all. Why would a martial artist with a strength of true god-level intervene?

Without waiting for jackie to further explain, Mason stood out and spoke aloud, “Munro Quinn, do you f*cking have any idea who he is? He is the heir of the White family head and the Young Master of the main White family! Now you tell me, does he have the right to take care of this matter?”

“Young Master?”

Munro gasped at the answer. “The Young Master of the White family is already this powerful? His combat prowess and strength are more powerful than some elders, am I right?”

“I’m only at the early stage of the true god realm. However, it’s not hard for me to kill you!”

jackie gave a wan smile and said in an emotionless tone.

Munro was rendered speechless. The strength of a fighter in the early stage of the true god realm could blast him away so easily and injure him that much? He was at the early stage of the true god realm, too! Moreover, he had stayed at that level for almost three years and could be considered as a strong fighter of the early stage of the true god realm! This was also why the White branch family had not dared to act rashly and went against them, though they had many men.

Obviously, the young man before him acquired the ability to kill every single life of the Windfall Pavilion. What a terrifying existence!

“Hold on!”

Munro immediately stretched out his hand and showed a stop sign. His face was ashen and his blood froze in his veins—he was in complete terror. “My men had made a huge mistake. It’s also true that I didn’t discipline them well. But both the White branch family and Windfall Pavilion are located so close to each other; we can be considered as living in the same neighborhood, and we should live peacefully and help each other, right? How about this, I’ll send you some spirited grass and resources, and we’ll call it a wrap to this matter?” Munro proposed in a trembling voice.

“Heh, it’s too late!”

jackie laughed. “You still have the nerve to talk about the neighborhood? When you bullied my men in the past, why didn’t you say you were a neighbor and that we should live peacefully and help each other out?”

jackie gripped the black fine sword tightly, and a layer of chi energy enclosed the sword. He swept the sword and shouted, “Big Wave Hits!”

Like magic, waves of sword aura coalesced out of jackie’s sword. The sword aura went straight ahead with formidable strength and horrendous power.

Most of these waves of sword aura, under the control of jackie’s chi control ability, went straight to Munro. A small portion of these waves was sent directly toward several strong fighters of the Windfall Pavilion who were in front of him.

Chapter 1203
“Sh*t. What do we do in the face of a fighter who’s of the true god status?”

Someone was so shocked that all the color leached from his face. For a grandmaster or someone of the demi-god status, there was no way to beat someone of the true god status. His aura alone had this much power, and it was difficult for them to close in on him.

An old man flipped his palm and took out an object that resembled a small tortoiseshell. He imbued in with his chi, and the tortoiseshell emanated a flash of light before growing in size.

That thing was actually a shield.

The old man raised the shield before him and heaved an internal sigh of relief.

“You actually had a treasure like that!”

Munro went speechless when he saw it. Logically speaking, he should have gotten a treasure like that. He never thought that the old man would actually stash it away for himself. If not for the peril they were in, the old man would probably have never taken it out—and Munro would never have known that such a treasure existed.

An attack landed on the shield and glanced off; not a single scratch was left on the tortoiseshell.

Still, that powerful attack sent him stumbling a few meters backward before he regained his footing.

As for the fellows around him, although they had quickly demonstrated their martial skills, they still crumbled like paper before jackie’s attack, and they were all killed.

The old man took the scene in and loosened a breath. Fortunately, he had the luck to obtain such a treasure—which could change its size as well. It made it convenient for him to kept it hidden. He would have been killed over it otherwise.

Munro was displeased because his First Elder had hidden such a treasure, but he did not have the liberty to give it much thought right now. Most of jackie’s attacks were being directed at him.

“Damn!”

When he saw the attack, his expression tightened and he threw a fist out. A giant python manifested from the chi that coalesced in his body.

After the python appeared, it roared and charged toward the waves of the sword auras.

Munro quickly constructed a thin, protective bubble of chi around him to keep himself safe right after he threw that attack out. Only then did he feel a little more relaxed. He believed that he would be able to withstand jackie’s attack then.

After all, his attack was considered a pretty high-level skill—one that was second-grade elementary. It could be said to be his trump card.

A resounding explosion tore through the air. He never thought that his python was already starting to crumble beneath jackie’s attack, although a few seconds had not even passed. It was going to disappear soon.

“No way. It only lasted for so long?”

Munro’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he was so shocked that he did not know what to say. At least thirty or forty percent of jackie’s attacks were being directed somewhere else, yet he still was not able to withstand the attacks, even after using a second-grade elementary martial skill!

“I have to hold on!”

Munro told himself that, but he already sensed that day might be his very last. That punk was far too strong for him.

Chapter 1204
“I have to hold on!”

Munro was repeating the same phrase to himself inside, however, not even one second before he repeated the phrase, everything collapsed.

As soon as the thought of holding on was inside his mind, the giant chi python collapsed and disappeared into thin air completely.

Although his python had successfully neutralized most of jackie’s attack, the remaining attack was still terrifyingly powerful and strong. It landed directly on the top of Munro’s protective bubble of chi.

The sound of the blow was lighter than before, but Munro’s shield of chi could only withstand jackie’s attack for two to three seconds before it completely crumbled and shattered into pieces.

Even after canceling out jackie’s attack with the bubble of chi, the attack still had almost a tenth of the strength left, and it blasted solidly on Munro’s body.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Munro’s mouth, and he flew backward—like a cannonball—into the roof of the house not far behind him, smashing a hole in the roof and falling onto the floor of the house.

“Hmph!”

The scene before jackie made the corner of his mouth curl upward, and in the next second, he darted into the house at a lighting speed.

“He’s so fcking strong! Our Young Master is so fcking awesome! He actually killed several elite fighters in only one move! And I don’t think Munro can survive this time!”

After killing a demi-god level fighter, Mason looked at jackie’s lightning speed, his eyes filled with shock and puzzlement.

Before they came to the Windfall Pavilion, he was concerned whether jackie could defeat Munro, after all, even he himself was not confident in fighting Munro. However, unexpectedly, jackie not only injured him gravely but also killed several elite fighters for them.

Now, they only had to deal with the remaining, and the job was as easy as ABC.

It could be said that they basically only have to take care of the remaining without having to pay much of a price.

Munro—who had fallen from the roof—hit the ground heavily and spewed out another mouthful of blood. He, who was already injured from the previous attack, was now even more severely injured. His face went white, and all possible colors were drained out of his face; his breath turned weak.

He coughed a few times, and every cough was accompanied by a mouthful of blood. He could barely support himself to stand up.

The third daughter of the Cabello family managed to stand up from the bed. Her limbs were tied up, so she could only hop off the bed and landed on the floor. She tried to muster her chi energy to break the rope.

However, only then did she realize that the Chi Dispersing Pill that Munro had given her was too strong and effective, making it impossible for her to mobilize and gather her chi energy in her body.

According to what Munro had told her before, this strange pill would last for three days; one who swallowed it could not control the chi energy in his or her body—whenever one tried to mobilize the chi energy, it would immediately dissipate. Moreover, if one repeatedly tried to forcefully coagulate the chi energy in the body, he or she would experience some severe damage to their bodies.

Just when the Third Young Mistress Cabello was in despair, Munro fell down from the roof and plopped onto the floor not far below her feet.

“Great, you son of a b*tch! You deserve it!”

The Third Young Mistress Cabello felt a sudden flare of joy inside her, but soon some thought popped up in her mind. “Strange! When I was captured, nobody from the Cabello family had witnessed it. Could it be that someone accidentally saw it, informed my father of it, and then my father brought people to rescue me?” She babbled happily.

When the thought process came to this point, she quickly shook her head to deny it, feeling that it was simply impossible. She was captured and brought there not too long ago, and the Cabello family was in a place where it was almost impossible for the commoners to locate, not to mention that the distance to that place was far. Even if the Cabello family knew about the kidnap, they would at least need ten days to come to her rescue.

Chapter 1205
Therefore, the rescuer was obviously not from the Cabello family.

“Don’t tell me it’s another group of bandits who set their eyes on them?”

Instantly, the Third Young Mistress Cabello’s heart thumped at this possibility.

After all, no matter if the brigands were from the Windfall Pavilion or any other gang, they were all bad people. The phenomenon of a big fish swallowing a small fish—the strong bullying the weak—was common among groups of bandits.

It looked like this time there must be another group of mountain bandits coming to rob the Windfall Pavilion.

The Third Young Mistress Cabello’s thoughts ran wild within these few minutes, her heart was uneasy and her fear spiked. After all, she had the most good-looking face among the three daughters of the Cabello family, though her sisters were beautiful. Furthermore, several other young masters of the shadow families were fond of her and wanted to pursue after her.

If such a good-looking woman were to fall into the hands of another stronger group of bandits, it was highly likely that she would be captured to be the wife of the chief of bandits.

She was in despair and could not even escape from the hand of the Chief of the Windfall Pavilion, what more a stronger and more powerful bandit? She would not even have the slightest chance to escape.

At this time, a figure dashed into the room and stood not far from her.

When the other party noticed her presence, the other party did not make any move but studied her.

jackie’s eyes lit up slightly when he saw the beauty before him. The beautiful woman before his eyes was indeed very fascinating and alluring. Her look was somewhat perfect, and her body was even more indescribable. That beauty could definitely compete against Selena and the result was hard to say.

jackie’s heart had actually pounded a little faster than usual at this moment.

“You, you, don’t come over! I warn you, you won’t get me! I am the third daughter of the Cabello family, and the Cabellos are strong and prominent! I’m warning you, if…if you dare to bully me, you’re dead meat. My father will find you and kill you even if you’ve hidden underground!”

Seeing jackie staring at her attentively, the Third Young Mistress Cabello was even more frightened. She stammered, trying her very best to use her tied-up feet to move backward.

jackie woke up from her beauty, then he walked indifferent toward Munro, stopped in front of him, and stabbed his sword into Munro’s chest emotionlessly.

When the Third Young Mistress Cabello saw that jackie killed Munro without blinking his eyes, she was so done for; she could feel nothing but blind terror.

If she had known it earlier, she would not be stubborn and sneaked out to search for treasure. She felt confident about her fighting prowess and martial status and wanted to come to the mainland to search for treasure. She longed for the excitement and fun, but little did she know that she would be captured.

“You’re the daughter of the Cabello family?”

After jackie ended Munro’s life, he paced toward Third Young Mistress Cabello slowly.

“Yes, yes, I’m the third young mistress of the Cabello family! My father likes me the most! You this b*stard bandit, don’t come near me! Don’t you dare take advantage of me!”

The young mistress was scared to death in her heart, but she still clenched her teeth and tried her best to threaten jackie.

“Bandit?”

jackie was rendered speechless. “Take a good look at me, do I look like another bandit?”

Only then the Third Young Mistress Cabello studied jackie in detail, she then huffed, “Hmph! You’re either a bandit or a brigand and neither of them are good people! Don’t think you can cheat me just because you’re good-looking! You bandit, none of you are good!”

Now, jackie was completely tongue-tied. He shook his head helplessly and approached the other party slowly.

“Don’t you dare come near!” She shouted. “You…what are you doing? I have a good reputation, if you dare to ruin me, I…I’ll not spare you even when I become a ghost in the future!”

The Third Young Mistress Cabello was so scared that she tried to move backward quicker, however, she seemed to have forgotten that her legs were all tied up. She wanted to move swiftly but her tied-up feet did not allow, instead, she plopped back onto the ground.

Chapter 1206
jackie did not bother at all to pay attention to the Third Young Mistress Cabello who just fell heavily onto the ground, instead, he continued walking toward her and aimed the sword in his grip at her.

“No, don’t!”

The Third Young Mistress Cabello thought that this would be her last day. Her brows puckered together, she closed her eyes and shouted with all her strength.

Unfortunately, the Third Young Mistress Cabello had guessed wrongly. jackie flickered the sword in his grip, and the next second the rope that she was tied up in, snapped.

The Third Young Mistress Cabello soon felt that the rope seemed to have loosened, only then did she open one of her eyes to peep. jackie had cut the rope.

“You…you’re not going to kill me?”

The Third Young Mistress Cabello breathed a huge sigh of relief, but soon her face sank again, “Wait, you must have known that I took the Chi Dispersing Pill and knew that I couldn’t control the chi energy in my body to defend myself! That’s why you cut the rope and let go of me, right?” She assumed. “Let me tell you straight, this beautiful body you’re looking at right now, you’re not getting it!”

jackie was once again at a loss for words. “First of all, I’m neither a bandit nor brigand. Secondly, I’m married and have a four-year-old daughter. Although you’re good-looking, I’ve no interest in you at all.” jackie explained with a bitter smile on his face.

He studied the other party, paused for a moment before saying, “Count yourself lucky today to have met me, otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll end up as the wife of the head of brigands. Hehe, now leave, you’re freed!”

“You, what you say is true?”

Color of disbelief and puzzlement was plastered on the Third Young Mistress Cabello’s face. Did she really misunderstand this man before her and mistaken him as some sort of bad guy? Was he not a bad guy?

“Young Master jackie, great news! We’ve defeated them all! All of us are well except for a few people who suffered an injury. What a great victory!”

At this point in time, the sound of battling outside the house had stopped, and Mason bolted in excitedly.

However, he quickly noticed the beautiful woman in front of him, then he asked, “Who is this woman? And why are there ropes on the ground? Damn, that mother*cker Munro hid a girl here?”

“This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family. I don’t know how she got caught. Anyway, she was saved in time.”

jackie let out a bitter laugh and explained.

“The Cabello family? Young Master jackie, aren’t we on bad terms with the Cabello family? The Cabellos always compete and fight against us. How about we kill this Third Young Miss? The head of the Cabello family will not know it anyway. He’d only think that his daughter was killed by these brigands!”

Mason quickly thought of something and proposed to jackie, smilingly.

“Nah, although we have some unpleasant episodes with the Cabello family, all those episodes are rather minor. If we really kill the daughter of the Cabello family, then the problem will become bigger and graver!”

jackie smiled gently and said to the Third Young Mistress Cabello, “Miss Cabello, you’re free to leave!”

“Now I finally know, you’re the Young Master of the White family!”

Daniella Cabello smiled faintly and asked, “You’re the young master of the White branch family here? Your talent is amazingly good! I thank you for saving me this time… So, may I leave now?”

“What? This…”

Mason stepped forward, wanting to tell the other party that this gentleman was the heir of the family head of the main White family.

However, he was quickly held back by a sign from jackie. jackie held out his hand, signaling him not to utter further, thus, Mason immediately had his mouth shut tightly.

“This…? What?”

Daniella frowned and puzzled slightly.

Mason returned with an awkward smile. “Well, I wanted to say that this time it was the White family who saved you, so don’t you ever forget our kind gesture!”

Daniella bobbed her head and replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell my father about this. And I’ll let our people pay more attention in the future and not to collide with the White family anymore!”

After Daniella finished her sentence, she looked at jackie again and smiled, “I’m sorry that I’ve misunderstood you before this. Will—will you forgive me?”

Chapter 1207
“Heh. I never thought much about it because I’m not that kind of person!”

jackie gave a wan smile and wheeled around, stalking off.

Astonishment flashed across Daniella’s eyes as she watched his silhouette.

Many men fawned over her looks. The masters from the Cabello family and other families all clamored to catch a glimpse of her.

That man was no brigand, but logically speaking, he should have at least asked for her name or show some semblance of attraction toward her. Yet he just turned around and left. Dissatisfaction roiled in her.

She quickly chased after him. “Hey, aren’t you curious what my name is?” she said to jackie.

jackie turned his head to look at her. “Why should I?” he replied impassively.

“I…”

Daniella was furious. The man was completely clueless. Did he not consider trying to show some interest in a beauty like her?

She rolled her eyes at him. “I’m Daniella,” she said. “You?”

“Oh. My name is jackie!”

After he said that, he walked out. At this moment, the White family members were sorting through their war trophies.

“Young Master, this is a true treasure. You must take it!”

The First Elder ran over happily, thrusting an object that resembled a tortoiseshell toward jackie.

“Yes. You must have this. We would not have been victorious if not for you today!”

Mason quickly said.

“Thank you!”

jackie smiled and took the object. He flipped his palm and kept it in his martial ring.

“We’ll burn the corpses along with this house later! Let’s take the war trophies and head back before we do the cleaning up!”

jackie announced after thinking about it.

Daniella was stunned speechless when she saw this. Who on earth was this man? Was he a young master from the main family of the White family? Why would the fighters from the branch families all listen to him otherwise?

After considering it carefully, she felt sure that this was the case. No way that he would be so strong if he were not from the main family—he would not have been able to kill Munro.

“Why haven’t you left yet?”

After everyone had cleaned up the corpses, jackie noticed that Daniella was still standing nearby. A crease formed between his brows. The White family did not have good relations with the Cabello family. He did not want to show the slightest bit of weakness.

“Why so fierce?”

Daniella grew even more speechless when jackie seemed impatient. Never mind that he did not try to butter her up, and now he was trying to chase her away? Never had she suffered such humiliation before.

She shot him a glare. “I’m not leaving. I’ll be staying at the White family’s place for two or three more days!” she said.

jackie was internally speechless; his expression soured. “Miss Daniella Cabello, am I correct? I saved you because you so happened to be there. It was an accident. Never mind that you don’t wish to return the favor, but why do you want to stay here? You’re stepping out of your boundaries.”

“Can’t a beauty like me want to stay a few days at the White family’s place? You really don’t know how to prune a rose when you see one. I’ve no idea how someone like you found a wife!”

Daniella folded her arms across her chest, speaking indignantly.

Chapter 1208
When Mason heard this, he grinned at jackie. “Young Master jackie, she said it herself—you truly don’t know how to recognize a rose,” he said. “Since you saved her in such a dashing manner, of course, she has an interest in you now. How cruel of you to reject her request so outrightly!”

Another elder from another branch family also chipped in, “That’s right. You two look as though you were a match made in heaven. Just agree with her request. The third daughter of the Cabello family is famed for her beauty. How could you decline her just like that?”

Daniella’s cheeks reddened as the two spoke that way. She rolled her eyes at Mason. “What are you talking about? I have no other way out, okay? I won’t have access to my chi for these few days, since I ate those Chi Dispersing Pills. If I run into any danger while I’m alone, I won’t be able to fight back at all.”

Here, Daniella paused before she continued, “That’s why I must stay at your place for two or three days. I’ll leave once my chi comes back!”

“Chi Dispersing Pills?”

jackie frowned. “I never thought that such a pill would exist. It’s my first time hearing of it.”

“Oh, it’s here, Young Master!”

Mason quickly took out one such pill from his martial ring and gave it to jackie.

jackie quickly discovered a counter pill’s prescription, as well as a small pill furnace. “I never thought that Munro would have gotten this. It’s a first-grade elementary pill, but this pill can come in handy. It’s a wonderful product!”

“Really? That man actually knew alchemy. Not everyone can do that. I never thought that Munro knew all this!”

Mason could not help but exclaimed after he heard that.

“Hah. I’ll be keeping the prescription and the pill furnace. It’ll be useful for me!”

jackie laughed. Being able to obtain such items was indeed a propitious incident.

Furthermore, the shield that resembled a tortoiseshell from before seemed pretty good too. However, jackie would only determine how precious it truly was once he had the time to study it properly at home.

“Hah. Just take it if you like it, Young Master. The pills and the pill furnace are useless to us.”

Mason laughed. At that moment, the house on the opposite side began to catch fire. The corpse of Munro’s men burned along with it.

After all the corpse had been cleared, jackie and the others head down the mountain.

“Hey, if you’re not saying anything, I take it that you agree to let me stay at the White family’s place for these few days!”

When she saw that they were leaving, Daniella quickly skipped after jackie.

“Fine. It’s not like we lack rooms!”

jackie could not be bothered with her. This time, the White family had obtained plenty of martial resources. Mason and the others should be overjoyed now.

Mason and the others still had grins plastered onto their faces. Mason sang all the way down the mountain.

“No way, no way. I’m tired!”

Not long after, Daniella was already tired. “All of you are martial practitioners. You all walked in a fast pace walk as though it were nothing. Now that I have no access to my chi, I’m as good as a normal person. I don’t want to walk anymore!”

“You don’t want to walk? Then what should we do? Don’t tell me you want me to carry you?”

Mason stared at her. “What a pain!” he snapped.

Chapter 1209
“I’m not getting on your back!”

Daniella rolled her eyes at Mason. She had no inclination toward his hulky figure.

Her eyes sidled toward jackie. She pressed her lips together. “You–you carry me down!” she said bashfully.

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, it was true that they were making slow progress with her tagging along.

He could only walk toward her, huffing. “I can carry you down, but you owe me a favor then. Got it?”

“Got it. I’ll definitely return the favor. How could a man be so petty? It’s your privilege to be able to carry a beauty like me!”

Daniella scuttled toward jackie’s back and hopped on. “Let’s go, Young Master jackie!”

“Let’s go. What are all of you staring at?”

jackie roared when everyone was staring at him. Only then did they continue downward.

Meanwhile, Daniella’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

Once she knew that he was not a brigand and that he was the young master of the White family, her impression of him grew more positive. It meant that he had a pretty lofty position. He could match her, at least.

Daniella’s mind began to wander. After all, it was the first time she had met such a handsome man who showed no interest in her.

‘He’s strong too. So much stronger than the young masters I know!’

The more she thought about it, the more she realized how attractive jackie was. She looked at the scene as they trod down, her face hot. She felt that this was fate.

“Hey, you’re a member of the White main family, right?”

Daniella rested her head against his back and asked softly.

“Yup!”

jackie answered as he strode down the mountain.

“Can’t you walk a little slower? Be considerate of me.”

Daniella pursed her lips. With the uneven mountain road, hers and jackie’s body frequently bumped against each other. Since she never dated before, she felt extremely embarrassed.

“You told me to carry you down. It’s a wonder I gave in to you. And now you’re complaining?”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You must have been spoiled in the Cabello family and rarely left the house,” she said. “The treasure spots, the monsters, and the martial artists of the outside world will never entertain your whining!”

“You’re a psychic! I do very rarely leave the Cabello family’s house!”

Daniella smiled. “If I had never met you, I would have been a goner.”

“Really? Then are we friends now?”

jackie paused for a while. A scheme began to stir in his mind.

Chapter 1210
“Of course. You’re my savior. So I’ll definitely find a way to repay you!”

Warmth spread in Daniella’s chest. She thought of something and quickly added on: “But don’t you let your mind wander everywhere. I won’t repay you with my body. Hmph. Anyone who wishes to go after me must prove that they’re worthy. Got it?”

“You’re really confident, aren’t you?”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was true that she was not half-bad looking, and the light fragrance emanating from her was intriguing, but jackie was confident in his self-restraint.

“Hmph. I know all you men speak one thing and then think another. You’re definitely thinking of something, what with a beauty like me splayed all over your back now!

“I’m telling you, it’s your privilege to carry me. So many men wish to do so but don’t have the chance!”

Daniella was as proud as ever, as though she were a princess high above the clouds.

“You’re saying that it’s my privilege to carry someone as heavy as you? Heh. I’ll be more than happy to get rid of this weight!”

jackie smiled. This girl was far too cocky.

She was pretty, but he was not the sort to butter up to nasty people.

“You-you’re calling me fat? What are you talking about? Hmph. So many people admire my figure!”

Daniella was furious when jackie told her that she was heavy. She resisted the urge to strangle him. His vision must have had problems. She was a little plump in some areas, but she was not fat at all.

After talking to her for a while, jackie popped the question: “Right. I heard that the Cabello family has a precious ancient tome. Something about forbidden medicine, right?

“That’s right. How did you know? Do you know medicine?”

Daniella answered without thinking twice.

“That’s right. I have an interest in medicine. I heard that the tome contains precious knowledge, so of course, I know of it. It’ll be fantastic if I got the chance to look at it!”

jackie told Daniella after he thought about it.

“Heh. You want to take a look?”

Daniella chuckled. “I don’t even get to take a peek at it even if I wanted to. It’s currently in our First Elder’s possession. That old man hangs onto it as though it were his life source, always talking about how complex it was and how he needed to study it. He even said that it contains alchemy methods of crafting third and fourth-grade pills. My father and the others know about this!”

“Third or fourth-grade pills?”

jackie took a sharp intake of breath after he heard this. Even second-grade spirit grass was extremely hard to find, yet this tome contained alchemical records of third and fourth-grade pills? Did this mean that he was getting close to finding the mother of pills?

Chapter 1211
If there were third or fourth-grade pills, that meant that the third or fourth-grade spirited grass existed. If that was the case, where were these spirited grass? Spirited grass or pills like that would likely cause a person of the true god status to combust with energy. This meant that the legends of the ultimate god status may very well be true.

“That’s right. My father said that the third and fourth-grade pills exist which means that the ultimate god status might be real.”

Daniella did not seem to have many walls around her, and she spoke easily with jackie, “That’s why the tome is a true treasure to the First Elder. He’d study it with every moment of spare time he has, trying to dissect its secrets. And sometimes he goes looking for true treasure, to see if he can find the third-grade spirited grass described in the tome!”

“Have his searches been fruitful?”

jackie’s eyes brightened when he heard that. He asked her a question.

Daniella gave a bitter smile. “Zilch. He’s got nothing to show for even after all these years. I don’t think the third and fourth-grade spirited grass exists. He did not find a single stalk. Perhaps someone wrote that tome just to play a long-running joke on future generations!”

“I don’t think so. Your First Elder would have noticed that it was fake after studying it for so long. Besides, I heard that he’s pretty skilled in medicine. He’s pretty famous for alchemical research too!”

After jackie thought about it, he spoke with firm resolution, “I believe that the ultimate god status is real. We cannot give up on the clues that point directly toward it!”

“Heh. That might be a little difficult. All eight shadow families are trying to discover the path to the ultimate god status. Everyone thinks that there is a method to break into the ultimate god status, but no one has found it! And it’s been so long!
