“knock”
“knock”
“knock”
the sound of a resounding knock could be heard on the door, as zeras’s eyes furrowed in slight irritation, and his gaze pierced through the door, settling on the shaking figure just outside.
“i made sure to lose her; just how did she still manage to find me?” zeras couldn’t help but wonder. when he had sighted the girl tracing him, he had made sure to disappear before coming back to his room.
but here she is, 2 hours later, and knocking on his door.
“go ho—” he had yet to say it when the door was opened by her, her head peeking through the small room.
“oh, thank you very much for letting me in,” she said to him as zeras raised an eyebrow.
“i never asked you to come in.”
“oops. that’s what i heard,” she said as she turned her gaze away from zeras, looking at the side where the fire chandelier was placed. quickly, she ran to it, trying to make a fire.
“at least close the door...” zeras grumbled, swiping his hand towards the door and forcing it to close.
“how did you expect me to light a fire in the darkness? i’m not a cat, you know,” felicie replied. zeras’s eyebrows creased.
because he was a cultivator, he couldn’t notice the darkness present in the room, and it held no difference to the day for him.
but the same couldn’t be said for felicie, who couldn’t even see her fingers at all.
the thought of flinging her out from the window, which could potentially break both her legs and give him his much-desired privacy, seemed so enchanting to him, but he reined that down.
strangely, the tower that was indicated was none other than the tower of god within the ten thousand transformations sect!
but there was a problem. even though he understood the content of the images, he couldn’t understand the words written below the image.
and that seemed to him like the true secret held on the first page. trying to remember if he had ever come in contact with the language proved to be of no avail.
but hearing she understood it, made his eyes flash.
“yes, i can,” felicie said, looking cautiously at him.
“then come translate it,” he said to her, as a hint of realization dawned on her. it seems it’s really important to him. then this is my opportunity!
“i’ll only do so, based on a single condition,” she said, as zeras raised an eyebrow.
“you must take me to the tower of god!” she declared, resulting in him scoffing in mockery.
“why should i listen to your condition?” he asked her.
“because, without listening to me, you won’t be able to get your answer,” she said, believing she had the upper hand.
“i can now see why your uncle doesn’t want you to go...”
“huh?”
“you’re too naive. i just ‘saved’ you from getting raped, and you came into my own house?” zeras said as he slowly rose from his seat, the air in the place coming to a chilling stop, and a dark aura filled the room, one that caused felicie to slowly retreat away from him, but he only closed in further to her.
“why did you think i saved you? how did you know i just don’t want to use you to quench my own even more fiery desire?” he whispered like a true devil as felicie got backed onto a wall, a hand slamming just beside her head and stopping her from escaping him.
