Chapter 1182 Other intentions?

"Giselle," Lex said to himself as he recalled the name of the enchanting dancer in front of her. Last time he saw her was on Polebitvy, right before the planet got stolen by Jeffery. They had fought off hordes of alien insects together, and Lex had to admit that she was a pretty good fighter.

But, either because he was too distracted by the war, or because she was very good at hiding it, Lex never sensed anything too extraordinary from her. She was just a passionate young lady who was an excellent dancer and fighter. Yet now, where here she was, in the Temple of Frozen Dawn even before him.

Lex knew just how absurdly difficult it was to approach this temple, so he could not imagine how just a simple dancer had made it till here.

That's when he noticed a peculiar aura from her - one he knew all too well. It was a seal, and the thing that had been sealed was her cultivation. Based on appearances, she was a peak Nascent soul cultivator right now.

That was believable progress from when Lex had seen her a few years ago. But if there was a seal, that meant she was an Earth Immortal. Such rapid progress was quite amazing.

Combined with the fact that she was in this region, fighting against the darkness, then it was likely that she was far from as simple as she appeared.

As much as Lex would have enjoyed to just watch her dance, they were short on time, so he decided to help her.

Through her dance, or rather through a carefully orchestrated sequence of movements, she allowed her body to glow with a light that pushed away the dark. Lex, fortunately, did not need to dance to do the same.

It was clear that ordinary light would not work against this formidable darkness, but what aspect of dragonfire was ordinary?

The flame on his finger grew bigger, and began to push away more of the darkness, and it was only then that he felt its weight properly. Yet he was not one to give up easily, so he pushed harder.

"Yes, that's usually how these dating shows work," Giselle said. "You look for a compatible contestant."

"No- that's not - what I mean to say is..."

"Look, I'm not interested in your dating life," she explained, as if indicating that she was not the judgmental type. "I don't know if you know anything about this place, but we don't have a lot of time left to resolve the anomaly."

Lex sighed in defeat. That was it. His reputation was ruined. He'd never be able to explain himself, though this truly wasn't the time to be lamenting such a thing. That did not, however, ease the pain in his heart.

Lex looked towards the end of the hall, where a broken throne lay. In front of it was a small hole, torn directly into the ground, leading down into the pyramid.

"The source of the anomaly is there," he said, pointing in the hole. "I am exactly here to resolve that anomaly. We can work together if you wish. The last time we cooperated, our teamwork wasn't so bad."

Gisele nodded.

"That sounds good. But, before that, do you know what this place is? What it holds?"

"Nope, and nope," Lex said. "Quite frankly, I suspect that whatever it does hold will give me attention I don't want. I can't afford such distractions right now, so my only intention here is to clear the anomaly and move onto the next round."

Gisele looked at him skeptically. He didn't want the ancient treasure hidden in the time bubble?

That sounded too good to be true. She narrowed her eyes. Did he have other intentions?
