Chapter 1298 - It Can't Be

Rean and Roan weren't the least bit surprised to hear Tixa's real name. Since she escaped from her clan, then the least she could do to not get caught was to change her name. 

The other members of their division didn't know what was happening, so they went ahead and asked the twins. Rean shrugged his shoulders in response and just said it was some kind of family issue... and that they definitely shouldn't offend that old woman. 'Leave it to Ti- err... Maeralya to resolve.'

Tixa... or Maeralya, noticed all the curious eyes, of course. "Ahem... our mission is now over. We're heading back. As for this woman, you can just ignore her."

Maeralya then turned around, not wanting to hear anything from Trika at all. However, Trika wouldn't let it stay like that. She immediately used her powers and immobilized Maeralya. "Do you think I'll just let you leave like that? Girl, look at you! You have already been missing for over twenty years, and what did that do to your cultivation? You're already 87, but you are only at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. Do you know just how far behind you are compared to the others?"

Maeralya couldn't care less, saying, "I don't see any problems here. Unlike the other young core members of our clan, I achieved this level of cultivation with my own effort. All the resources I used after the Saint Realm was acquired by none other than myself. I'm not even using the clan's cultivation technique anymore. In such a situation, I'm doing extremely well! Just leave me alone, and I won't bother you guys at all."

Trika shook her head in response, saying, "Is that your problem? Just because you don't want the clan's help? You could have requested that, you know. We would prepare missions and other things for you so that you could earn your own resources. It would definitely be much more than you can ever make in such a remote place like this one. We would also have someone close to you to make sure you wouldn't die either."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about!" Maeralya didn't like Trika's words. "I don't want this kind of special treatment. That wouldn't be my effort at all, but the clan's instead."

Trika didn't seem to care. "That's enough. I won't allow you to indulge in your fantasies any longer."

Maeralya obviously got angry after hearing that. "So what? Will you kill me here because I don't want to go back with you? I left the clan for a reason. Why do you guys even care? It's not like my presence would make a difference anyway."

Trika narrowed her eyes in response, saying with a cold tone, "Girl, you should know how important you are to your parents. In their entire lives, you were the only kid they ever had."

Maeralya shrugged her shoulders, replying, "Just ask them to make a new one. It's not like mom or dad can't do it again."

"It's not that simple, and you know that," Trika immediately replied. "The higher one's cultivation, the harder it is to conceive. When two people of their level are put together, conceiving becomes half a miracle."

Maeralya snorted in response. "With how long their lifespans are, I'm sure they can make a few extra half miracles happen."

Trika finally lost her patience after that. "I'm done with you. We're going back whether you want to or not."

Maeralya didn't leave it at that, though. Before Trika could take her away, Maeralya warned her. "If you truly force me, I'll sever all my meridians and destroy my cultivation at the very first opportunity. Rather than going back, I would rather die. I'm definitely not going back to that dollhouse my parents prepared for me."

Trika, obviously, immediately stopped. "That's why I wanted to make you give up this life on your own." Trika then pointed at the twins before continuing, "If you don't come, I'll kill those two."

Rean and Roan felt like crying after hearing that. Why were they even getting involved in this shitty familial matter? First of all, Ti-... Maeralya never really cared much about their lives, so why should she restrain herself because of them? Chances are that Maeralya would say she couldn't care less about them. Also, what about the rest of the division? Why was this woman only targetting the two of them instead of everyone else?

Suddenly, a ridiculous idea popped into Rean's mind, and he quickly contacted Roan through their Soul Connection. 'Hey... I think we just got our free pass outside this war zone.'

Roan was taken aback after hearing that. Of course, he immediately understood Rean's plan. 'Go for it. Otherwise, we will probably die because of this bullshit.'

Rean nodded and talked back, "Ahem... Would you really kill your niece's lovers?"

The entire area went silent, and only the distant sound of battling could be heard. Lovers! Did that mean Maeralya was in a relationship with both of the twins? Not only that, but she even brought them together. How could that be true?

Even Maeralya herself almost vomited blood when she heard that! "Who the hell are my lovers?! I just met the two of you a few days ago!"

Roan's mouth could not help but twitch after hearing Rean's words. He knew Rean had a plan to use that old woman to bring them away. However, how the hell did he come up with the plan of making them Maeralya's lovers? Of course, he couldn't stop it anymore.

Trika's expression went dark when she heard Rean's words. Obviously, she never believed that Maeralya would start a male harem. It was ridiculous. In her eyes, Rean was just trying to humiliate her. "Brats, it seems like you don't want to live anymore." 

Rean and Roan felt the same power as the Dimensional Realm enveloping them. It was obvious that the woman could control spatial powers, and she was about to use it to kill them with that. However, it was then that Rean took out a Soul Binding Contract and wrote the terms down.

-We state that Maeralya has been in a relationship with me and my brother, and it was her who procured us first. If this is a lie, our souls shall be destroyed by the backlash of the Soul Binding Contract.-

Trika's hands immediately stopped when she saw that. "It can't be...."
