The Man's Decree

Chapter 2703 Offering Herself

Amid his quandary, Jared suddenly caught sight of a fleeting shadow whisking past the window.

“Who's there?” Jared demanded, his brows knitting together in a frown as he cautiously narrowed his eyes.

The door creaked open at that moment, and Viola slowly entered, carrying a porcelain vial.

“Jared, thank you for helping me out. These are some high-grade pills retrieved from Emerald Cauldron Sect's inventory. They will aid your cultivation. Take it as a token of my heartfelt thanks,” she said in a small voice, placing the porcelain vial on the table.

“Thank you, Ms. Warwick.” Without any pretense of modesty, Jared accepted the gift. The pills of Emerald Cauldron Sect were indeed invaluable.

However, in accepting them, he came to a decision. He could not destroy the medicinal pool by absorbing all the spiritual energy. Hence, he could only relinquish his plans of further enhancing his powers there.

After handing the pills to Jared, Viola did not leave. Instead, she took a seat across the table, her gaze trained on him.

Under the lambent light, her figure, swathed in a crimson dress, was brought forth in an alluring play of shadow and light. Even her undergarments were faintly visible.
