“There’s no need for that. All you need to do is treat Jhaelyn well and love dearly. After all, has just become a wife.” Braxton glanced at Jhaelyn with an adoring look.
“That’s right, Jared. You must be gentle. I noticed Jhaelyn limping when was walking just now, so must be swollen!” Thorley also chimed in.
Jhaelyn’s face flushed instantly, and turned to Thorley and said, “Thorley, l‘m going to kill you…”
As spoke, Jhaelyn threw a punch toward Thorley.
Seeing that, Thorley promptly took off running. The two were then engaged in a playful chase.
It was only at that moment that Jared discovered the way Jhaelyn addressed Thorley.
“These two have always been this playful,” Braxton said with a comforting smile.
“Father, let me bring you to a place where we can treat your injuries. I reckon it won’t take more than a day for you to fully recover,” Jared said to Braxton.
“Where is that?” Braxton asked, his face full of curiosity.
“You’ll know once you get there!” Jared said with a smile.
Jared, accompanied by Braxton, directly entered the Pentacarna Tower.
Braxton was taken aback when saw the Pentacarna Tower, felt the flow of time within it, and witnessed the celestial gems.
“Jared, w-what is this?” Braxton asked in shock.
“This is the Pentacarna Tower. Inside this tower, time flows a hundred times faster than the outside world. In other words, a year outside the tower equates to a century within it.”
“A hundred years?” Braxton was immediately taken aback. “Are you saying that if I cultivate a hundred days in here, only a single day has passed in the outside world?”
Jared nodded. “That’s right…”
Braxton’s breathing had become ragged.
No wonder Jared said I could be healed in just a day…
“Where did this Pentacarna Tower come from?” Braxton asked curiously.
Jared, however, gave a faint smile. “Father, you should focus on healing first. We can talk about it later…”
A flicker of complexity passed through Braxton’s eyes, followed by a laugh. “Very well. It seems my daughter has made a good choice.”
At that moment, Braxton was thoroughly pleased with Jared.
A silent laugh echoed In Jared’s heart when heard that.
This old geezer… I defeated him, but now he’s trying to save face for himself…
However, Jared didn’t expose Braxton. instead, urged Braxton to tend to his injuries quickly.
Inside the Pentacarna Tower, Braxton was seated, absorbing the rich aura of celestial energy that was surging into his body. His injuries were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
When Jared emerged from the Pentacarna Tower, noticed Jhaelyn was still playfully chasing after Thorley, who was dodging and ducking in a desperate attempt to avoid blows.
“Jared save me! Jared, save me!” Upon seeing Jared, Thorley quickly hid behind him.
Seeing that Jhaelyn was approaching, Thorley turned to Jared and said, “Jared, put in a bit more effort tonight and try to make Jhaelyn unable to walk tomorrow. By then, won’t be able to hit me…”
“Thorley, if you say another word, I swear I’ll kill you…” Jhaelyn’s face flushed with embarrassment.
With a slight smile, Jared chose to ignore the playful banter between the siblings and entered Flaxseed’s room.
***
Flaxseed was having fun with two women when Jared walked in. The moment Jared entered, was stumped.
“F*ck! Brat, don’t you know how to knock?” grumbled Flaxseed, clearly dissatisfied.
“Mr. Flaxseed, you’re going on like this day after day. Are you really planning to meet your end under a woman’s spell?” Jared was at a loss for words.
“Stay out of this. Aren’t you just like me? Can’t even keep track of how many women you’ve got, can you?” Flaxseed gave Jared a dismissive glance.
Jared was instantly at a loss for words. Even himself had lost count of how many women had at that moment.
“Mr. Flaxseed, I’ve come to show you something,” Jared said.
Upon hearing that, Flaxseed waved his hand, indicating for the two women to get dressed and leave.
“What is it?” asked Flaxseed
Jared reached directly into his Storage Ring and pulled out a coffin. The coffin was blood-red, adorned with runes.
Jared was eager to find out just what was inside that coffin.
