Chapter 3741 You Are Not Dead
After Kai and Nieva left, a holy maiden turned to Bianca and asked, “Bianca, do we really need to listen to this so-called Mr. Chance? Isn’t Ms. Nieva overestimating him?”
“Of course, we have to obey. It’s an order from Ms. Nieva, and we have no choice but to comply. However, the journey to the polar region is incredibly challenging. Even after we reach there, various dangers await us. Whether we can survive or not will depend on our fate.”
The implication in Bianca’s words was clear. She wouldn’t actually risk her life to protect Kai.
Venturing to the polar region with their abilities was already dangerous in the first place, yet they had to bring along Kai, an encumbrance, which only added to their troubles.
Not to mention, they had to obey Kai’s orders. The holy maidens simply couldn’t bring themselves to accept that.
The maiden rolled her eyes and said, “That’s right. A general in the field is not bound by orders of his sovereign. Who cares about him once we reach the polar region? I won’t be protecting that guy!”
Another maiden chimed in, “We’ll only listen to your instructions, Bianca. That br*t can issue orders all he wants.”
“That’s enough. Let’s continue our cultivation. We’re leaving the day after tomorrow. Who knows how many of us will make it back?”
With a wave of her hand, Bianca instructed everyone to resume their cultivation.
Meanwhile, after Kai had left that space, he was left with a bitter taste in his mouth. After all, the words he had said were indeed hurtful.
He knew as well that under the pressure asserted by Nieva, those holy maidens would heed his commands.
However, once they left Lunarius Palace, it would become uncertain whether those holy maidens would continue to do that.
Kai wouldn’t desire for a disagreement to break out, resulting in the collapse of the party.
Kai planned to improve his relationships with those maidens. The only solution to mend a relationship with women is to shop, shop, and shop some more! These maidens have been engrossed in their cultivation within that secluded space and must undoubtedly be cut off from the outside world the whole time. Moreover,
they will surely be thrilled to receive some auxiliary items that can aid in their cultivation.
With those thoughts in mind, Kai abruptly left Lunarius Palace, heading straight for Southedge City.
Kai intended to purchase some items suitable as gifts for the holy maidens at Pathfinder Sect to ease the tension.
Once Kai arrived at Southedge City, he located Pathfinder Sect and promptly brandished the token Moses gave him.
With that token in hand, Kai could enjoy unimpeded access within the Pathfinder Sect.
Subsequently, Kai purchased some mystical herbs and pills for those holy maidens, along with some Beauty Pills that women adored the most.
Although the process of concocting those items was not particularly challenging, alchemists were incredibly rare and precious beings within the Ethereal Realm. Therefore, even the simplest of pills held great value to the multitude of cultivators in there.
Kai had also purchased some materials for crafting charms, and he was planning to create a few of his own. This way, he could aid those holy maidens in fending off their adversaries when necessary.
At that moment, Rory, who was in charge of Southedge City, noticed that Kai had purchased a lot of items. Consequently, he approached him and asked, “Mr. Chance, you’ve bought so many things. Are you planning a trip to the polar region?”
Kai nodded and said, “Yes, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. That’s why I came to Pathfinder Sect to buy some items as preparation for any unforeseen needs.”
Upon hearing Kai’s affirmative response, Rory looked at him with a hint of surprise. “I’ve heard that the test to qualify for the journey to the polar region by Lunarius Palace was extremely challenging this time. Unexpectedly, you passed the test, Kai.”
In his opinion, it was indeed quite impressive that Kai, a Third Level Tribulator, had managed to pass the test.
“I merely scraped by on luck alone.” Kai gave a faint smile.
After exchanging a few words with Rory, Kai left Pathfinder Sect, intending to return to Lunarius Palace. Unexpectedly, he ran into that Alastair.
When Alastair saw Kai, he was completely stunned and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “Y-You’re not dead?”
Alastair assumed Kai would die within Lunarius Palace’s illusion array.
Kai patted his own body and said, “I’m not dead. See? I’m perfectly fine.”
