"Here. You should have a drink as well!"
Austin told Princess Esther and pushed a glass of wine towards her.
"No way! The food of the spiritual race looks so disgusting. I don't know what's in this wine and I don't want to drink it!"
Princess Esther was so nauseated at the idea that she quivered.
She had totally lost her appetite after seeing the heads on the table.
"I know the food's not to your taste. But their wine is different. It is good for the spiritual soul.
Getting a chance to try it is rare. My advice is that you should give it a try,"
Austin told her with a smile.
"Really? Is the wine so precious?"
Princess Esther could see that Austin seemed in a happy mood after taking a sip of the wine. His delight calmed her fears down and she decided to give it a shot.
After much hesitation, she finally took a careful sip.
"Hey, this is really good!"
She felt an instant change in her spiritual soul as soon as her tongue touched the wine. A fresh and energetic feeling ran across her spiritual soul. The wine felt pure without any sort of adulteration.
She liked it so much that she drank several glasses in a row.
"Hey, my friend... You should try these spiritual seeds as well.
I nurtured them carefully in my mansion. They are fed with a lot of natural treasures and resources that contain tremendous amounts of spiritual soul energy. I am not going to diverge too much detail, but there's a secret method in our royal family that does wonders to these spiritual seeds. It takes the spiritual soul essence and the spiritual soul law from those resources, and preserves it inside the spiritual seeds' heads.
Also, every inch of their flesh and blood contains significant amounts of spiritual soul essence and spiritual soul laws.
It takes a long time to craft these spiritual seeds. When they're finally ready, they contain a great amount of energy and nourishments which is very useful for our members' cultivation,"
Rondo told Austin and pointed at the heads on the plates.
Then, with much ado, he picked up one of the heads and put it into his mouth. He then began chewing it with an enjoyable expression.
"Spiritual seed? Secret method of the royal family?"
The words seemed a bit promising, but Austin felt so disgusted at the sight of him eating a living screaming head that he didn't even want to try it.
Princess Esther, who was sitting by Austin's side, looked pale as well. It looked like she was going to throw up any second now. Luckily, she did not.
"No thank you, Your Highness. I like the wine better, but you are welcome to take your time with the spiritual seeds. We'll stick to the wine."
Austin forced a smile and politely refused.
He found it a little funny that Rondo had arranged for some charming girls to dance and entertain them while they dined. Apparently, he liked to create a happy, fervent atmosphere for his guests.
After several rounds of
med to have hit the area.
This was not some brilliant secret skill. In fact, this was the most primitive and violent form of strike, which merely amassed tremendous amounts of spiritual soul energy and then threw it at the enemy.
"What the hell?"
Both the old man in cyan and Rondo were frightened at this move. They were forced to retreat due to the terrifying outburst from Austin.
The flames that the old man had used to attack Austin were already extinguished.
"Who the hell are you? How do you have such terrifying strength?"
The old man's face turned livid. He hadn't expected that this young man would possess a spiritual soul energy that was much stronger than his own! His pride had been hurt!
In the spiritual race, the spiritual soul energy had the same effect as the spiritual energy for other creatures.
For them, a higher level of spiritual soul energy meant a higher cultivation base.
"Who do you think you are? You have no right to ask me any questions!"
Austin replied arrogantly.
"Gio, your strength is terrifying!"
Rondo was both surprised and pleased at the sight.
"What do you think, Elder Payne?"
He turned towards the old man and asked.
"This young man's strength is unfathomable.
However, he is too arrogant and will prove difficult to control. Your Highness, you must be extremely careful if you have any plans that involve this young man."
The old man in cyan was very dissatisfied with Austin's attitude. He seemed reluctant to say anything more. With a sudden swing of his sleeve towards Austin, he disappeared as abruptly as he had appeared.
'It looks like Rondo is trying to win me over.'
Austin sneered in his heart, but once again, his face remained calm and composed.
"Gio, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore.
I have something important I need to discuss with you."
After the old man had left, Rondo proposed a toast to Austin and then finally came to the point.
