Chapter 207 Freya: "I am the most handsome."

207 Freya: "I am the most handsome."

"I told you we will meet again soon," the voice said as the gaze of the statue focused on Arthur.

Arthur didn't respond and the Spirit Empress saw his disinterest but continued to speak

"I can see you have a great talent to be a spirit rune master. You already have some foundation in Arrays. So you're off to a good start but I can help you go further," the Spirit Empress continued.

"When you hand over a little sister to me in the future, you can consider joining the Immortal Spirit Palace."

Arthur raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Your faction?"

"Yes, one that has a significant standing in the upper realms," she explained. "Consider the offer when the time comes."

"You call her little sister, who is she to you?" Arthur nodded toward the levitating girl.

The Spirit Empress smiled, a glimmer of fondness in her eyes. "She is my junior martial sister. We were both disciples of the same master."

Arthur's curiosity deepened. "Your junior martial sister?"

"Yes, and she carries a secret that is integral to our sect's endeavors in the past," the Spirit Empress revealed, her gaze shifting towards the girl.

'I see. I wonder if your heart is still the same after all these years,' Arthur thought.

There was a stark contrast between the somewhat talkative girl he fought in the trials and the 'Spirit Empress' before him.

Aside from the current her being an immortal who has the divine power to descend or be summoned through a medium, their personalities and temperament are vastly different.

'Oh, well. It's none of my business whatever happens to this girl. I am just doing a somewhat profitable transaction and an experiment...'

That's right!

Arthur wanted to 'study' what kind of power the girl holds that makes her valuable enough to be branded a 'sinner' of the Heavens.

Although such branding couldn't work on him as he holds the power of something equal in authority to the Grand Heavenly Dao.

"I'll consider your offer when the time comes," Arthur finally responded, his words carrying a sense of cautious optimism.

'As intended...'

The Spirit Empress nodded, seemingly content with his answer. "That is alright, the Spirit Path is a unique path that intertwines spiritual energy with the art of runes," she explained.

Arthur perfectly faked a curious and oblivious expression acting like a country bumpkin.

"I can impart to you some foundational knowledge. It will make you a Spirit Rune Master."

Miriam smiled gently, "It's not your fault, Freya. Fate weaves its threads in mysterious ways."

She would have embraced her junior sister if not for the stiffness of this statue.

"What... happened in the end," Freya asked after wiping her tears.

She proceeded to explain the events that transpired and how the Red Sky Sect had preserved its legacy, assuring Freya that her destiny was still intact.

Freya, although initially burdened by guilt, found solace in Miriam's words.

With a renewed sense of purpose, she silently vowed to learn to control the power within her until the day she ascended to the upper realms.

Miriam, the wise elder sister, guided Freya through the tumult of emotions.

"Everything will be fine. But sadly at the moment we cannot meet in person. But this young man here will be with you until you ascend," Freya's eyes shifted to Arthur.

She looked at him curiously and blurted, "Are the young men of this era so handsome?"

"What?" Miriam was taken aback.

"Um," Freya turned her face quickly and changed the subject, "I will be in care. Thanks for having me!" She spoke nervously.

At this time even Miriam and the Guardian who had been silent all this time looked closely at Arthur's face, now paying attention to certain details.

'Hmm, he isn't as handsome as I was back in my heyday.' The guardian thought.

'He is indeed handsome. Outstandingly so, does he have a special Physique?' Miriam wondered as even an immortal who ought to have great control over the six desires had to acknowledge what she saw.

'If I didn't know better, I'd say he is like a True Banished Immortal....or is he?' then she shook her head, 'No, that's impossible. He doesn't have 'that'.'

Arthur noticed that the atmosphere became awkward and broke the ice, "Hey guys, please stop staring at me like some endangered cute animal species."

"I know that I am the most handsome man in all of creation, past, present, and future and beyond. But you have to control yourself, hehe,"

Freya, "..."

Miriam, "..."

The guardian, "Oh, sharp!"

Arthur, "Thank you."

'First time trolling an immortal, hehe.'
