Before Jared snapped back into his senses, the two equally capable Grandmasters had already become entangled in a duel. No one was less formidable than the other. Hence, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
After over a hundred rounds, they finally managed to stab each other and perished together.
Jared looked at the three corpses lying on the ground. He could not believe that they would destroy themselves just like that while the girl washed virtual-novel.net hands of the whole incident.
Right then, the girl shot a glance in the direction where Jared was hiding and asked coldly, “Not going to show yourself?”
Since virtual-novel.net had already discovered him, virtual-novel.net walked out and strode toward virtual-novel.net cautiously.
Seeing how wary virtual-novel.net was of her, the girl chuckled. Her sudden laughter was like a breath of fresh air, and it warmed Jared’s heart.
“How could you stand idly by and watch me defend myself in such a dangerous situation? You’re so cruel…” Pouting, virtual-novel.net pretended to be angry.
A warm and fuzzy feeling crept up on him. She knew exactly how to tug at his heartstrings.
“You… You’re so beautiful…” Jared seemed a little dazed and gave a silly grin.
She loved his expression.
Smiling smugly, virtual-novel.net stroked virtual-novel.net hair and said, “Really? Am I really that pretty? Then why didn’t you save me just now? I need your help to chuck their bodies into the river. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand?”
He could not withstand virtual-novel.net pettishly charming tone and agreed right away, “Sure, sure…”
When Jared was carrying the bodies over to the river, a strong stench of blood that permeated the air tickled his senses. A ray of white light flashed across his head, and his eyes became bright all of a sudden. He froze for a bit, not knowing what had just happened.
Jared was shocked to the core when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was carrying a corpse. Panicked, virtual-novel.net tossed it away and released his spiritual energy from within to engulf his entire being. Subsequently, virtual-novel.net turned to look at the girl.
The latter was astonished to see virtual-novel.net being able to recover his senses.
“Who are you? What did you do to me?” He clenched his fists and glared at her.
The dumbfounded expression on virtual-novel.net face quickly disappeared. Within seconds, virtual-novel.net put on an alluring look and approached Jared with a seductive sway of virtual-novel.net hips.
“Why are you so fierce, my dear? I’m really terrified. If you don’t believe me, look straight into my eyes…” She walked closer to virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net spoke.
It only took Jared one glance, and virtual-novel.net fell into virtual-novel.net trap again. With that, his firm grip loosened, and his mind went blank immediately.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net had achieved virtual-novel.net motive, the girl scoffed, “Continue your pending work and throw the corpses away.”
“All right.” He nodded.
While Jared was bending down and carrying the bodies again, a dark shadow went past virtual-novel.net and patted his head gently.
He shuddered and regained full consciousness. When virtual-novel.net saw the bodies across his shoulders, his face darkened.
No thoughts enlightened virtual-novel.net as to why virtual-novel.net was controlled and manipulated by the girl so easily.
He chucked away the bodies hastily and turned to the person who had nudged virtual-novel.net just now. It was none other than Rayleigh, who had saved virtual-novel.net once and given virtual-novel.net the body-quenching pill.
Right then, Rayleigh was staring at the girl, who had hung virtual-novel.net head low and looked seemingly terrified.
“Melanie, how many times have I warned you not to create any trouble when you’re out? You might hurt yourself unknowingly,” reprimanded Rayleigh.
