Niyad felt uneasy as he followed Count through the forest. Count suddenly said he had a new lesson to teach him and it will be in the form of a mission. "Why do you have that expression kid?" Count could hear Niyad's heart beating frantically in his chest. The kid was traumatized, not that he cared hehe. "The last time I entered a forest with you, I was thrown into the Southern kingdom." Niyad complained. "No, that time I secretly followed you into the forest and don't worry, this time it'll be different." Niyad involuntarily shivered. "You're right, secretly following me is even creepier." Count ignored his reaction then asked, "Mhmm, by the way. What did you say to Sercy that day, she's been acting strangely." Niyad was caught off guard by Count who suddenly brought up Sercy "What do you mean?" Count's ears perked up, closely listening to his heart for fluctuations. He then answered, "She wore red." Badump! Niyad's heart fluttered at the thought of her wearing the dress he ga

The three Sovereigns remained silent which caused Niyad's lips to curve in disdain. His eyes shifted to Kiro and they glowed black as he asked "Hmm and what exactly were you planning to do with the blue phoenix's inheritance you took from my backyard?" None of them answered and Kiro started to shake, his eyes stared down at the table in front of him not daring to "Suddenly Mute, I really should just kill all of you." Niyad threatened and Count who was coordinating with him released killing intent from the corner of the room causing the sovereigns to shiver. "However Sercy doesn't want me to fight her battles so I will give you all a chance. I will pretend that I don't know what you were plotting, in return I'm sure the leaders of the North and West will make the wise decision of giving up on whatever aspirations you had for the Blenheim kingdom." Niyad made a long pause glancing at them individually before continuing. "The Southern kingdom however will need to return the blue Phoe

Count entered the cave on Phoenix Crescent; Before he could call out, the eyes of the Blue phoenix appeared in front of him staring intently. "Old chicken, couldn't you at least wait till I called for you?" The phoenix's tone was gentle as it offered, "Should I withdraw so you can call me then?" "Ah, you're no fun. I'm guessing you already sensed it?" "Yes" The phoenix confirmed in a solemn voice. The moment Count entered the cave it had sensed that the phoenix artifact was with him. Count presented the phoenix artifact to the remnant spirit who had a complicated look in its eyes. After a prolonged silence between them it finally looked like it came to a decision. "Keep it." The phoenix finally said. "Why are you so hard to please you fancy peacock? Are you saying you don't want it after I went through so much to get it back?" The phoenix's eyes narrowed, it tried to stay calm as Count randomly called it a variety of birds. Even though it was now only a remnant spirit, it's pri

Niyad was exhausted as he walked home, he didn't even have any strength to circulate his Qi anymore. His head was already hurting from overdoing his cultivation but now it hurt even more after crashing into the gates. He didn't dare to run like he had before either, what if in place of that gate there had been a person? He had thoroughly learned his lesson, next time he should get used to his strength increase immediately after cultivating.Niyad was in shock however, just how had he gotten so drastically strong after only five hours of cultivating the God body technique? He knew there was already a significant increase in physical strength after returning to the Blenheim kingdom but what exactly is happening?With almost no recollection of his journey, he arrived home and pushed open the door. "Mother?""Ny, you're home? But your master just left." Niyad stood in stunned silence, "Sercy was here?""Why are you calling her name casually like that? Shouldn't you be more respectful?"
