In the Upper World.
A figure in a white robe, her long, black hair swaying to the side, her black eyes were fixed on a beautiful red flower, and her left hand caressing the thorn at the plant's stem.
'Snap'
As she pulled out the thorn, the red flower swayed slightly.
"Did you see that?" She asked in her beautiful voice.
"Yes, princess." A bald man nodded quickly as he stared at the red flower.
"So, what did you understand?" Her gaze was drawn to her finger, where a drop of blood was seeping out of her skin, which was being pricked by the thorn.
"Yes, it clearly shows that the princess is powerful," the bald man answered quickly, glancing at a woman beside her. His heart skipped a beat as her beauty fascinated him.
A frown appeared on the woman's face as she turned around to look at the bald man.
The bald man's heart thumped as his eyes were glued to the woman in front of him. Her black hair swayed behind his back, and her fair skin complimented her slightly triangular face. Her red lips were slightly pursed, and a tiny black mole on her left cheek added to her beauty.
He wanted to embrace the woman in front of him. But he forcefully suppressed his desire and looked down.
She was one of the most beautiful fairies of the upper world. But her beauty should deceive no one. She was known for her cold-heartedness.
"You don't understand, do you?" Her crisp voice reached his ears.
The bald man was taken aback. "What do you mean, princess?"
"What did I tell you?"
"To eliminate Su Xin," the bald man replied hurriedly
"But she fled, right?" She asked calmly.
But a bead of sweats started perspiring on the bald man's forehead. He could feel the coldness in her voice.
"Princess, she used the last of her strength to tear through the space. But don't worry, she won't live long. She is inflicted with that poison. Even if she was still alive, she would experience the worst nightmare of her life. Now that she has lost her power. She's like a lamb on a chopping board." The bald man replied hurriedly.
The woman, on the other hand, shook her head slightly "In this world, there are no absolutes. What if she finally returns to this world? Don't you realize she has the most dreadful physique in the world? If she manages to recover from that poison, she will become our worst nightmare."
But before the bald man could say anything, his body shivered as a layer of frost formed on his skin. His eyes widened as he forcefully opened his mouth.
"Princ." A hoarse voice escaped his lips, but his entire body was covered in ice.
The woman's cold eyes were fixed on the figure in front of her before she waved her hand as the man disintegrated into particles.
"I don't need useless men," her voice echoed as her figure vanished.
.....
After Su Xin left the room, Andy sat on the bed, his were closed as he observed his body.
His consciousness entered his body to find that a tiny figure resembling him was floating in a dark space, while a lump of yellow light was merging with that figure.
He could feel his power growing at a visible rate, but he also noticed a lot of black dots in that clump of yellow light.
"There are a lot of impurities. Even though my power may increase slightly after absorbing the power of a soul formation cultivator, I must be cautious of impurities, as they will affect me in the future."
He exhaled and slowly opened his eyes. "Sitting and cultivating is really boring," he murmured, but time slowed around him as his body was covered in fog.
....
Andy has been cultivating for three days now.
His body was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, which appeared to be seeping into the pores of his skin.
But, all of a sudden, the fog around him began to disperse as the time returned to normal. When he opened his eyes, they flashed red before changing to blue.
He exhaled again, and hot, turbid air escaped his mouth as he stood up and patted his back before stretching his body.
"I think it's time to leave,"
'Creak'
As Andy walked out of the room. His gaze was drawn to the empty courtyard as the sun hung low in the sky.
'BANG'
But then there was a knock on the door.
Taking one last look at a lone tree in the courtyard, Andy opened the gates to see that a disciple of Eternal Palace was bowing at him.
"Young Master, it's time to go."
Andy's eyes were fixed on him before he sensed a killing intent directed at him.
His brow furrowed as his gaze shifted to the crowd in the distance. The street was crowded as people were going about their daily lives.
His gaze was drawn to a distance, where an old man in a black robe was buying items from a roadside stall.
Andy's gaze returned to the man in front of him.
"Fine,"
"Please come to the mountains outside of the city," the disciple said politely before leaving.
Meanwhile, Andy took one last look at the old man before closing the door and walking towards Su Xin's room.
But his steps came to a halt when he heard women's giggles from inside the room.
His eyes squinted as he knocked on the door.
The giggles stopped as Shi Yi opened the door. However, her body froze for a moment before Su Xin appeared from behind her. When she saw Andy, she smiled.
"What happened?"
Andy glanced at Shi Yi before turning to face Su Xin.
"It's time to leave."
Su Xin and Shi Yi both had surprised expressions on their faces as they looked at each other.
"Where are we going?" Su Xin asked.
"Eternal Palace,"
