Boom! The edges of Floating island began to crumble, with massive rocks plummeting toward the earth like meteors, kicking up clouds of dust that filled the sky.
“Run! Floating Island is about to collapse!”
Numerous cultivators scattered in all directions, fleeing in panic. The scene was utter chaos.
Just when everyone thought the end of the world was upon them, two figures suddenly burst from the center of Floating Island!
“It’s Mr. Chance! And also Jemima!”
Nilou’s eyes hardened instantly, and immediately led people forward.
“Mr. Chance, what exactly happened?” asked anxiously.
Steadylng himself, Jared answered In a deep voice, “Floating Island isn’t an actual island, but an entrance to an ancient ruin. Now that the ancient ruin has collapsed, it naturally can’t sustain itself.”
“What?” Everyone was shocked.
“This isn’t the place for conversation. Let’s go back and talk!” Jared said.
Nilou nodded, then led Jared and Jemima back to palace.
Jared recounted the entire situation to Nilou without leaving out any details.
Upon hearing this, Nilou was immediately filled with regret.
“Floating Island has been above Caxton Continent for many years, yet we never realized it was actually the entrance to an ancient ruin,” Nilou lamented.
After finished speaking, Nilou noticed a significant change in Jared’s aura.
Curiosity piqued, asked, “Jared… What cultivation level are you at now?”
Jared gave a slight smile. “Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three…”
“What!” Nilou was utterly shocked!
Before entering the ruins, Jared was merely at Wandering Immortal Realm Level One. Yet, within just two days, astonishingly broke through several realms, reaching Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three.
This rate of cultivation was simply unheard of!
Jared merely chuckled, choosing not to say anything further. He figured that if were to say more, Nilou would likely feel even more regret.
Originally, these were all opportunities meant for the Caxton Continent. However, no one on the Caxton Continent realized that Floating Island was actually an entrance to an ancient ruin; thus, they missed out on a golden opportunity.
“My Lady, how is Jhaelyn doing?” Jared asked Nilou.
After having his fun with Jhaelyn, Jared had just left, so didn’t know how was faring.
Given the prideful nature of the celestials, it was likely that Jhaelyn would take own life. After all, she’d been toyed with by someone they considered to be of an Inferior race, something probably couldn’t bear mentally.
“She’s doing okay and no longer kicks up a fuss, even eats meals on time every day. However, mentioned several times that wanted to meet you, to which I always responded that you weren’t around!” Nilou replied.
Jared was taken aback and somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that Jhaelyn, whom had forced himself on, didn’t hold any resentment toward him?
And so, Jared stood up, planning to go see Jhaelyn.
Upon arriving at the cell, Jared saw that Jhaelyn was sitting there quietly.
When Jhaelyn spotted Jared, rose to feet, reaction devoid of the explosive anger Jared had anticipated.
“Jared…” Jhaelyn looked at with a complex expression in eyes.
Contrary to initial arrogance, there was now a hint of softness in eyes.
“What do you want?” Jared asked, his eyebrow raised in annoyance. To deal with such a haughty woman, one needed to overpower with sheer presence.
Jhaelyn bit lip and quietly asked, “What… What have you been up to these past couple of days?”
“What business is it of yours what I do? Do I need to report to you?” Jared uttered coldly.
Hastily, Jhaelyn waved hands and spoke. “No, no, no, I’m not trying to interfere with your life. It’s just that my mind has been a mess these past few days…”
“Why?” Jared scrutinized Jhaelyn. “Is it because I slept with you?”
“Right!” Jhaelyn nodded in agreement.
“I’m sorry, I acted impulsively,” Jared admitted.
“You didn’t do me wrong,” Jhaelyn shook head, “Can you come in and sit with me for a while?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jared nodded and opened the cell door.
Just as stepped in and closed the door behind him, Jhaelyn suddenly spun around and threw herself into Jared’s arms!
“Jared… I… I think I’ve fallen for you,” Jhaelyn confessed, gaze steady on Jared.
