" It's fine, we will also be ready by then. "
Jayden said in response, Lao Rong wanted to say more but Jayden spoke before her:
" There is still some time before the competition, for now, you should take whatever resources are useful for you. "
Lao Rong nodded and gave the storage ring to Xiao to choose first, while they were looking at the resources, Jayden thought:
' I feel like I am forgetting something important. ' just then he heard Goddess Damuda's voice in his head:
" So you finally remember about it? "
He finally realized and Apologizes to the goddess: ' Sorry, can you tell me now? ' with a sigh, Damuda began to speak:
" So I met a friend of mine, she is one of the best when it comes to poison in the entire universe, from her I took a few poison formulas that would be greatly helpful to you. " She paused after saying that.
"..."
Jayden stayed silent when he heard that information he is aware that if a strong poison is used correctly then even killing an opponent more than two times stronger than you will be easy, and the formula she have must be extremely valuable.
' And how is Andrea related to it? ' He asked after remembering the words she had said the previous day.
" You remember that Andrea has absorbed that poison treasure you found in the zombie world right? " She said not giving a direct answer.
' Yes, I do- ' Just as he was replying, he thought of something and asked: ' Are you saying that I can use Andrea to absorb those poisons and then it will have an infinite amount of poisons? ' the reply from the goddess came immediately:
" Something like that, let me explain in simple terms: You will have to feed one type of poison to Andrea until it has the ability to produce those poisons, like snake's ability, that way you will have a large amount of poison ready at any moment without doing anything. " She said then paused, after a few moments she added:
" Yes," she replied excitedly, even though some time had been wasted, it was still morning so they would still have a lot of time to themselves.
" Are you going somewhere? " Lao Rong asked, getting closer to them, the situation before had been tense but now that she was relaxed the scene of Jayden kissing her appeared in her head when she looked at him, immediately her face flushed but she was able to hide it in time.
" Yeah, we were planning to go out. " Xiao Rong replied with a big smile not noticing her mother's red face.
Lao nodded her head, not looking at Jayden directly then he stood up after taking Xiao's hand he walked out of the house.
******
The news of the royal envoy coming to the Rong house had already reached many places and the reason behind there visit wasn't any secret, everyone knew that the king wanted to marry Xiao Rong though they weren't aware of exactly why he wanted that, so all of them concluded that it was just because of her beauty.
The news of the royal envoy also reached the house of the third elder, and Qiang who had been resting on his bed heard this news, he wasn't able to stay still in his house and slowly walked out, though he was still injured it wasn't to the point that he can't move.
After a short while he appeared in front of Xiao Rong's house, but at that moment there were no carriages outside, so he wondered if the news was actually false or if they had already gone back.
He waited there for a bit longer, then he saw the three people coming out of the house, they were from the castle his doubts were confirmed, he wondered if Xiao had accepted their proposal while he was thinking this he saw Lao and Xiao walking out of the house too.
His eyes widened in surprise when Jayden came out with Xiao Rong, he felt his anger rise immediately he couldn't understand what Jayden was doing there, so he decided to wait for some more time. Jayden and both of the women went back into the house after some time, while the three men stayed outside trying to search for something.
Just when he was thinking of going there to meet Xiao Rong, he saw Jayden coming out of the house while holding Xiao's hand, Qiang's fist clenched as he watched them walk hand in hand, laughing and talking.
Jayden had noticed Qiang stalking them from one of the corners, so he decided to make one thing clear now, that Xiao Rong is his and no one could even think of going anywhere near her.
