“Young master, where did you go during the night? I was alone in the room and I felt very lonely.”
Early in the morning, Victor left the Small World and found Lian Hua lying on his bed, staring at him.
“What a coincidence, Miss Lian Hua is here too.”
“Young master, I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”
Lian Hua slowly stood up and went to Victor’s side, holding his arm.
Seeing this, Victor sighed and struggled free from Lian Hua. He said softly, “Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Since I promised you that I would take you, I will never go back on my word. Although you are a courtesan, you have never accompanied guests, so why do you have to treat me like this?
“Which woman in the world is willing to commit herself to a brothel?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Hua looked at Victor in surprise.
“Young master…”
“Alright, stop calling me young master. It sounds weird. Call me Victor. Pack up and let’s go.”
Victor patted Lian Hua, who was stunned on the spot and continued, “There is one more thing. If you are not willing to change your appearance, that’s fine. However, I will have to trouble you.”
“Hmm?”
Lian Hua had just turned her head when Victor waved his hand. The Small World in his body released a pulling force and sucked her into it.
Lian Hua felt dizzy for a moment and appeared in another world. It was very magical.
“This is…”
“This is my own Small World. Hmm… you can treat it as a storage space that can accommodate living people. You can stay here normally. If there’s anything you need, tell me. I’ll let you out at night to get some air.
“Although it’s not that comfortable, it’s more important to be safe.”
Outside the Small World, Victor’s mind moved and immediately revealed a stone house. Inside, there were tables, chairs, benches, and beds. Everything was complete.
“The young master actually has a Small World?”
As the person behind the Chunhua Brothel, Lian Hua’s knowledge was naturally not limited to this corner of Carefree City. On a daily basis, she often heard the idle chatter of the cultivators from various states. She had also heard a little about the Small World.
However, to nurture a Small World in one’s body, one must be a giant or a natural born supreme being!
In other words, a Small World was a symbol of power and status!
Furthermore now, Victor actually had a Small World!
This made Lian Hua feel that her decision was a right one.
However, despite that, Lian Hua did not really want to stay here.
“Young master, can you let me out?”
“You don’t like It?”
“Not really. It’s just that I’ve been trapped in the Chunhua Brothel, just like a bird in a cage. Now, I’ve finally made up my mind to leave. I want to experience the magnificence of the world. Although it’s safer to stay here, what’s the difference between staying here and in the Chunhua Brothel?”
Hearing this, Victor nodded and threw Lian Hua out of the Small World.
“You’re right. I wasn’t thinking properly.”
“It’s okay. I’m already satisfied that young master is willing to tell me such a secret.”
Seeing that Lian Hua did not change her mind, Victor could only let her call him that.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Victor had already wasted too much time in Carefree City. He had to go to the Central Plains as soon as possible to solve the Fire Sect’s problem.
In addition, Victor did not want to keep Lian Hua by his side all the time. He was afraid that he would lose control of himself.
After packing his luggage, Lian Hua left Carefree City with Victor and sped toward Central Plains.
Strangely, Lian Hua carried a zither on her back all the way. Victor offered to carry it for her, but she refused. She carried a zither that was as tall as a man and followed Victor.
“What’s the background of this zither? You seem to value it.”
“Well… this zither was left to me by my mother before I came to the Eastern Plains.”
Seeing that Lian Hua was a little depressed, Victor nodded and did not pry any further.
“Take a rest. There’s still a long way to go to the Central Plains. We can’t just arrive overnight.”
“Well…”
After reaching the core formation realm, coupled with the true phoenix blood essence that had tempered his body, both his energy and qi and blood had increased by dozens of times. Victor naturally did not need to rest and could travel day and night.
However, Lian Hua could not. Although her cultivation was at the spiritual pedestal realm, she was still a weak woman. Carrying such a large zither on her back consumed a lot of her energy. After a while, she needed to rest.
Fortunately, the two of them were fasting and did not have to worry about food.
Victor’s mind moved and the two entered the Small World.
“Let’s rest here. It’s much better than outside. Also, you can keep the zither here. No one will touch it.”
“Thank you for your good intentions, young master. It’s better for me to carry it on my back. My memories of the past are becoming more and more blurry. Only when the zither is by my side can I remember my mother’s features…”
As she spoke, Lian Hua sighed softly. Her face revealed a trace of sadness.
Seeing this scene, Victor hesitated for a moment before grabbing Lian Hua’s wrist.
“Young… young master, what are you doing?”
“Relax, hold your breath and focus. Silently draw your mother’s appearance in your heart.”
Although this did not make Lian Hua happy, it was better than nothing.
Not long after, using Lian Hua’s memories, Victor made a statue. Its hands were in a hugging position as if it wanted to hold something in its arms.
“This way, when you are about to forget, you can come in and take a look. You can also put down the zither.”
Victor took out the zither from Lian Hua’s arms and placed it on the statue. It fit just right.
“Young… young master…”
Looking at the statue in front of her, the statue’s eyes were exactly the same as her own. Lian Hua’s eyes immediately turned red and she looked on the verge of crying.
More than once, Lian Hua had also wanted to carve out the gentle face in her memory. However, no matter if it was a poem or a painting, it was difficult to make it look vivid.
Now, the statue in front of her was essentially the same as the face in her memory, which made Lian Hua surprised and happy.
“Thank you, young master.”
Lian Hua turned to look at Victor, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.
To be honest, Lian Hua’s initial plan was to use Victor by borrowing his strength and name to return to the Southern Plains.
However now, she suddenly changed her mind.
She wanted to follow beside him and watch quietly, to see how far this demon who rose from the abandoned land of immortals could go.
Time passed bit by bit, and it was time to leave, but Lian Hua was unwilling to leave. She wanted to see the statue again, even if it was just a glance. Victor agreed and left alone.
Actually, this was also good. With Victor’s strength, he would be able to reach the Central Plains in three days at most.
However, just as Victor was about to leave, he felt a killing intent sweep over him!
After reaching the core formation realm, Victor’s soul power had become much stronger. Within a five-kilometer radius, any movement would be noticed by him, not to mention that the intruder did not conceal his killing intent!
“Let me guess. A member of the Fire Sect?”
Currently, Victor did not seem to have any conflicts with other forces, and the Fire Sect was the only one.
