"Brother!" A voice came just as Evelyn was lost in her thoughts, and soon, a figure came rushing into the ward.Looking up, Evelyn was surprised to see who it was. Behind Emily, a figure walked into the ward slowly.She had a cold expression on her face, and it was as if she was telling everyone, 'Stay away from me.'"Emily, you shouldn't wake your brother up, he's tired and fell asleep," Evelyn said with a smile on her face while still caressing Eric's hair.At that moment, Emily was shocked in her heart as she looked at her brother and then at Evelyn, who was caressing his hair.This was just too intimate, and could it be that she was also in love with her brother?Thinking about this, Emily turned around and looked at Chloe who was standing behind her.Seeing the expression on Chloe's face. She couldn't help but freeze. What the heck was happening?She had expected to see Chloe annoyed, but she was calm and it was as though she was expecting itHer brother was awesome. It seemed li
(The Next Day)"Mmmmm," Eric muttered as his eyes fluttered open and he looked around.At the moment, his body ached and it was as though he had been running a marathon when he was sleeping.This was because of the posture he had slept with. But that was not Eric's concern at the moment.He remembered using Evelyn's hands as a pillow the night before, and yet, at the moment, it was not Evelyn's hand that was there, but rather a foreign hand.Instantly, he stood up and turned around to look at the owner of the hand, but then he froze."Chloe?" Eric muttered, shock, and other kinds of emotion written on his face."Good morning." Chloe smiled widely looking at Eric.She and Evelyn didn't sleep throughout the night and we're watching over Eric.They then took turns placing his head on their hands since Evelyn was sick, and it was going to wear her off.Though the two were feeling rather sleepy, they were not able to sleep.Eric gulped, seeing the smile on Chloe's face, and then turned to
Eric walked out of the ward following the doctor to another ward. He had a frown on his face and wondered what was going to happen.The reason he had instructed the women not to leave the room was because he was rather confident that he was going to clash with the owner of the cold Qi and if that were to happen, he wouldn't be able to protect them.So before he left, he had set up an invisible barrier around the ward. It was not going to be activated until something happened to him.Though he was rather confident that he was stronger than the opponent, to be on the safer side, he did that and instructed them not to leave the ward."Sir, you sure are awesome." The doctor walking with Eric said, looking at the latter in admiration."Thanks for the praise." Eric smiled."Can you tell me how you did it so that you rose to your level?" He asked, looking rather excited.Eric glanced at the doctor for a while and didn't say anything. The doctor was young and judging from his enthusiasm, he w
"What do you mean by my soul being invaded?" Lisa questioned, looking at Eric in confusion, wondering what he meant by that.Eric let out a smile seeing the confusion on Lisa's face. He was sure that even though she knew what was happening, she didn't know the terms to describe it.Since that was the case, then he was going to have to break it down for her and make her understand.He was sure that she would understand then. And if she was willing, he was going to help her. As to what her relationship was with the owner of the cold Qi, he couldn't be bothered to ask.There was no need to ask something like that. He didn't care, all he knew was that he already had a lead.Also, he was sure that the person had more than just one victim. Evelyn would have been one of them if he didn't know her and that would have been the end of it."What I mean to tell you is that your soul is being eroded, and you're slowly losing yourself," Eric began, looking at Lisa, wondering if she was going to cat
Lisa's expression changed as she stared at Eric, wide eyes open, wondering what he was talking about."But this ring was given to me by my fiance." Lisa looked at Eric in suspicion wondering if he was just trying to make her break up with her fiance."What's my business with that? I don't care who gave you the ring, all I know is that the ring is the cause of what is happening to you." Eric shrugged, not caring about anything."But...." Lisa stuttered, looking at Eric, wondering if she should believe."If you are not going to remove it, then I won't help you." Eric's impatient voice came just as Lisa was contemplating.Lisa looked at Eric with a frown not knowing what to do. She was an actress and a popular one at that.She didn't know if Eric was one of her crazy fans who was just trying to get something from her.But that shouldn't be the case, he didn't seem to know her. When she said what her name was, his expression didn't change, and it was like he was meeting a new person, whic
"Yes." Lisa nodded, not daring to look at Eric.Though she could feel that he was mocking her, she didn't dare say anything.He had all the reasons to mock her since he had told her but had refused to listen. So there was no need for him to have mercy on her.At the moment, she trusted him fully, and next time, she was going to believe all that he was saying.However, she wanted to ask about the mystery of the necklace and how he was able to do what he was doing. She knew that he was not going to answer her and thus had no other choice but to keep silent and just watch what he was doing.She watched as Eric placed his hands on the ring and then pulled it out slowly.Immediately, he started to pull it out; Lisa felt a strange cold energy trying to invade her senses.For over the past few months, she had been having this kind of cold at night and had been looking for a way to get rid of it, but there was nothing that worked.In the end, she had no other way but to put up with it since t
Eric's mouth curled up into a smile. It seemed like his system was such a kind-hearted System after all. Well, there was no need to be shocked. He was just going to find all the Soul Devouring objects and then give it to the system. He was sure that the reward he was going to get after collecting all fifty was not a small one. What's more, he could receive rewards for each one till he got to fifty. But what was disturbing him was that the soul-devouring object had spread up to the point that it had gotten to fifty. That was a crazy number. He needed to find the Victims as soon as he could so that he was going to be able to get the rewards. But if what the System told him was true, then it meant that the person he was fighting was far more powerful than he had thought. If he was not that strong, then he was going to have some powerful people behind him. Well, it was none of his business to chase. He was still going to make sure that he found out who it was. It was none of his
"I didn't expect you to be a cultivator." The man chuckled immediately when he and Eric arrived at a place with no one."And I didn't expect you to be this sinister." Eric shrugged, placing his hands on his back, not bothering to look at the man.They are on the balcony, so he can see what is happening outside the city with the way he is standing."I didn't expect you to be so protective and fierce." The man laughed, standing beside Eric."You're quite a formidable opponent." He continued."If I had known, I would have attacked you directly. Also, I can't believe you'll choose to help someone you don't know.""If I may say, it's fate." Eric sighed and then turned around to look at the man."Why did you target her?" He questioned, the expression on his face turning serious."Well, that's quite a good question. But I'm sure you should have known why I targeted her since you've been able to get rid of what I was about to implant in her body.""I wonder what kind of spell you used on her
