Jared was taken aback for a moment, then scoffed, “Ms. Haverford, you’re a celestial. Why would you be interested in someone insignificant like me? Don’t joke with me. I know you celestials aren’t allowed to intermingle with other races.”
Jhaelyn looked up, eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance. “Why do you keep bringing up the celestials! I… I was naive back then, brainwashed… We’re both human, and on that night we spent together, you showed me what heaven truly felt like.”
Jhaelyn’s voice gradually softened, cheeks flushing a delicate pink.
Initially, after Jared forced himself on her, Jhaelyn was filled with rage. However, as time passed, found herself constantly thinking about him.
Jared hadn’t expected that could win over this proud celestial so quickly. It seemed that even the most haughty of women could be conquered by a large endowment.
Her bashful demeanor caused desire to stir within Jared. He reached out, lifting chin gently.
“Since you’ve fallen for me, I’ll stay tonight. Let me show you another glimpse of heaven…”
“You… Mmph!”
Before Jhaelyn could finish sentence, Jared kissed passionately, causing to melt into his arms…
***
The next morning, as soon as Jared opened his eyes, immediately sensed a strong wave of jealousy!
Upon leaving the cell, realized that Jemima had been standing by the cell entrance for who knew how long.
Jemima cast a glance at Jared, eyes filled with exasperation, anger, and jealousy.
However, was aware that had no official ties with Jared. They had only known each other for a short while, so had no say in who Jared chose to sleep with.
“Ms. Murray, what brings you here?” Jared asked Jemima, a hint of confusion in his voice.
“I heard that you didn’t leave the cell all night. I was worried that woman might have harmed you, so I thought I’d come and see!”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already set straight!”
After Jared finished speaking, shouted toward the cell, “Jhaelyn, you can come out now…”
With face flushed in embarrassment, Jhaelyn emerged, limping slightly as walked.
The various meridians throughout body had been opened up by Jared, so was no longer under any restrictions.
Upon seeing Jemima, Jhaelyn’s face immediately flushed, and lowered head.
“All’s well then!” Jemima turned and left.
“Seems like Ms. Murray is feeling a bit jealous,” remarked Jhaelyn.
“No way, why would be jealous? It’s not like we’re in a relationship,” Jared said in utter confusion.
“She definitely likes you. A woman’s intuition is usually spot on. If you’re interested, go ahead and win over.” Jhaelyn spoke with great consideration.
“l’m not the type to force myself on someone…” Jared said.
Upon hearing Jared’s words, all Jhaelyn could do was roll eyes!
Had it not been for Jared forcing himself on her, perhaps would never have fallen in love with him.
Just then, an ominous aura suddenly swept in from a distance, shrouding the entire Caxton Continent.
All the cultivators on the Caxton Continent were struck with awe. After all, having suffered several devastating blows, the cultivators of the Caxton Continent had now become as skittish as a scared bird.
Along with the terrifying aura came a voice that rang out in fury.
“Jared! Come out and meet your fate! Let my daughter go!” The roar of fury echoed through the heavens, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble.
Jhaelyn jolted in surprise, face turning as pale as a sheet. “It’s my father! He’s brought people with him!”
Jared gave a cold laugh. “Perfect timing. It’s about time we discussed our matter with him. Since we’re all family now, let’s stop this fighting.”
Jared led Jhaelyn out.
At that moment, Nilou wore a serious expression, gaze fixed intently upon the void above.
The horizon was dark due to the hundreds of cultivators hovering in the air. Leading them was none other than Braxton. Beside Braxton, there stood a man with a mask, his aura unfathomable.
At a glance, Jared recognized him. This was none other than the Celestial Palace’s envoy whose physical body they had destroyed.
