***** Apart from being the top school's belle, hailing from a prominent family, being extremely intelligent, and being one of the few female class presidents in the school, the reason Jewel was renowned was her constant aloofness and composed demeanor. It would be an understatement to say that most people feared her due to the icy aura she had cultivated that repelled others.So, observing Jewel now, with a fierce expression on her impeccably beautiful face, no one dared to speak a word. Had it been a fellow student or even a lecturer who had snapped at them just now, they would have undoubtedly been incensed and acted contrary to the commanding voice, but perhaps because of the influence Jewel had wielded in the past, everyone involuntarily swallowed hard and regarded her with trepidation, regardless of their background.As for Alex, who had been initially infuriated and was about to act, his face was now adorned with a wide grin, and an air of pride had enveloped him. ‘That's
Eventually, the crowd reached a consensus that they would approach a highly popular gang to handle Alex on their behalf so that he would understand that they weren't individuals he should challenge and compete with.Concluded with that, the boys in the crowd started discussing how they should fairly vie for Jewel's attention and affection once Alex was removed from the equation and Jewel became aware of the type of person they would paint him.As for the ladies present, initially, they were brimming with envy and anger when they saw how the guys, including their crushes and boyfriends, were eager to win Jewel's favor. However, upon realizing how exceptionally beautiful Jewel was, it was as if they had lost something significant, and their expressions turned bitter.After a while, they exchanged glances and gestured to one another to move away from the boys. There, they held their own meeting, and some of the ladies succeeded in sowing the seeds of resentment in the hearts of the o
“ Is This the Same Jewel Marshman I Know?”“Are... are you telling me this is the same Jewel Marshman I know? The one whose birthday party I was supposed to attend just the day before yesterday?"Currently, inside a bathtub, a young man who was sitting upright with a glass of wine and an opened half bottle of wine beside him could be seen gaping at his phone with an astonished expression on his face.No matter how long he gazed at the screen, he couldn't bring himself to believe that the person on the phone was the same individual he was familiar with.Inspecting the screen, one could find the image of an extraordinarily beautiful maiden with impeccable magnificence standing there, her face wearing an icy expression that could send shivers down one's spine. It was this maiden that had left the young man utterly flabbergasted.After appearing as though he had lost his sanity for a while, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up as if there were flashlights in them.But that wasn't all. His
“Sister Jewel is so impressive, to think that she actually managed to conceal her emotions all these years and act like Aunt Fiona!"Presently, Dami could be seen driving her crimson sports car with a dreamy expression on her face as she spoke animatedly with her sat Alex who was wearing a helpless look beside her.Ever since they left the school, Dami had been talking incessantly about Jewel as if she had fallen in love with her.In fact, he would have assumed she truly had truly fallen for her if he didn't know better.Well, this wasn't what caused Alex's feeling of helplessness right now, since this was exactly what he wanted, for the two ladies to share a great bond.What truly caused Alex's sense of helplessness was that ever since he and she entered the car, no matter what he asked Dami, she kept disregarding him and continued talking dreamily about Jewel, as if she was intentionally neglecting him, making Alex's thoughts become complicated.'Was it as I'd presumed?'He swallowe
That night, after Alex Johnson pondered his current and future misery for an extended period, he eventually retired to his bedroom, but no matter what he did and tried, he couldn't fall asleep and just kept rolling about in the bed, so he chose to cultivate, which he quickly became absorbed in.Simultaneously, as Alex began his cultivation, a few shadowy figures discreetly arrived outside his estate at a distance.These figures were exceptionally stealthy, to the point that if someone wasn't a formidable cultivator and wasn't fully paying attention to the location of the figure's arrival, they wouldn't detect their presence.There were five of them and they were all completely cloaked from head to toe in pitch-black robes, exuding a potent eerie aura from their bodies.Even as they stood there, their forms would be challenging to discern, even to an observer.Among these five figures, one of them stood out prominently in the darkness.While this particular figure was also garbed like
****Although the expression on the five figures' countenances couldn't be perceived right now due to the clocks; the veils of darkness they bore that enveloped their entire beings. It's evident to any observer that they are deeply disquieted at present.With their respiration markedly restrained and their hearts pulsating frenetically within their chests, they anticipated the grand elder's rejoinder.At present, none of them directed their gaze at the grand elder whose image was projected on the artifact, for they were all too apprehensive of the visage they might encounter.The group leader had already recounted their discoveries to the grand elder more than thirty minutes ago, a duration that felt unending to them. Yet, despite their prolonged wait, they discerned no forthcoming response from him, which only exacerbated their anxiety.Just when they believed that no response would be forthcoming, and they began to commiserate with the hapless people who would incur the grand elder'
****Simultaneously, in a very far place that was completely removed from the martial realm, an eerie landscape sprawled before the beholder's eyes. Contrary to the vibrant expanse of the mortal and martial worlds, this place appeared like a mass of land in hell, shrouded in perpetual darkness and devoid of even the faintest glimmer of sunlight or vitality.No, it does not even bore a resemblance to a realm of torment; rather, it seemed abandoned and forsaken by both deities & demons alike. This desolate terrain was universally recognized among the mighty in both the Mortal and Immortal Worlds as the Burial Ground.Yes, the Burial Ground.Countless millennia prior, this realm was reputedly a sovereign nation within the Martial World, teeming with life and imbued with the same ambiance as the Martial World itself. It was under the exclusive dominion of an extraordinarily potent lineage.However, owing to reasons shrouded in mystery, an incredibly powerful expert of this lineage, a fi
Having no idea that he has now become the reason for a great scheme, and because he killed a person who deserved it, he made the grand elder return to his past job, the human world betrayal, Alex woke up the next day, feeling greatly refreshed.With a radiant grin on his face, he rose from the bed and stretched, his body emitting enthusiastic cracking sounds. "Another breakthrough," he murmured to himself and suddenly immersed himself in deep contemplation. After a while, he shook his head in frustration before heading towards the bathroom."I can't fathom why everything in my master's memory insists that cultivation is arduous when it is, in reality, as effortless as breathing."As soon as he mumbled this to himself, Williams’s eyes flashed with excitement. "I knew it! It simply implies that even my master’s innate talent which was several times better than those in the immortal world is several times below average compared to mine.“Shaking his head once more with certainty, Alex e
