Chapter 404: Chapter 403

Chapter 403

There trip North was rather safe for the first two days except the unusual noises at night, lewd ones, of course . The two women accompanying the men were actually selling themselves . Apparently, they were paid and were more than willing to sell their bodies for Red Spirit Stones so Lucy or Arthur didn’t interfere .

Only the tall muscular man would remain by the couple’s side at night, either rambling about his past achievements or trying to seduce Lucy, which didn’t work for obvious reasons .

Although he didn’t try to hide his lecherous gaze, he didn’t try anything and despite hinting his intentions, he didn’t voice his thoughts directly .

Lucy turned a deaf ear to him and followed the somewhat decent group without having to fight too much . Their traveling speed was slow, to say the least, however, that’s only because the group wanted to hunt as many God beasts as possible and pick up some herbs .

They fought sixteen times but Lucy only helped once and she acted so pitifully weak that it seemed kind of comical . If not for her piercing glare, Arthur would’ve burst out in laughter .

Night of the third day together, while Lucy and Arthur eating dinner while ignoring the moans coming from the nearby tents, they suddenly heard something far away head their way .

The black man next to them was oblivious to this and continued chewing on the meat of a God Beast they slew a while ago . Such a meat was not only delicious but also beneficial as it contains a moderate amount of Nether Energy, which can help in cultivation .

Apparently, the three men were peak Divine beings and the two women just reached the Divine Realm . The men were powerful despite only using their gauntlets and only relying on techniques and such . In fact, they were body cultivators, which explained their huge frames and muscular bodies .

Whatever or whoever was coming not only was incredibly fast, this caused the relaxed Lucy to strengthen her senses and prepare herself . Worse comes to worst, she’ll let her new group fight before she kills this beast, or whatever it is .

Only when this hastily-approaching presence was within two hundred meters of them did the black man react . He sprung up from his seat and looked South only for a figure to appear a distance away with him .

With long silver-hair and a beautiful appearance, she glanced at the three humans around her before preparing to leave .

Just as she was about to disappear, the black man, named Jace, raised his hand to stop her while smiling and saying

"M-miss! Please stop!"

He seemed very desperate for a man who was smiling happily not even a minute ago . Quite surprisingly, the indifferent sister of Lucy listened to him as she shifted back her attention to Jace, who scratched his head while chuckling, embarrassed, or acting so .

However, before he could talk, the lewd moans coming from not far away resumed which made the woman’s face distort . Seeing this, Jace’s expression turned ugly, he turned toward the tents and shouted at the top of his lungs .

"HEY YOU TWO! KNOCK IT OFF WE HAVE A GUEST!"

Shortly after saying that, the two men and women left their tents with sweating bodies and red faces . Although disgusted, the woman didn’t immediately leave and waited for Jace to talk again .

’Do we leave?’

’It’s too late for that . Furthermore, it doesn’t hurt to see what she’s capable of . ’

Arthur wanted to leave but as Lucy said, it’s a bit too late to try and leave like this, it’ll be suspicious . Moreover, this woman didn’t seem she’s going to stay with them, or so thought the poor couple, who clearly didn’t know her well enough .

After much insistence and smooth-talk, Jace managed to convince the woman to join their party, just for the time being . She also seemed to be heading North, which made it much easier to pull her into his group .

The atmosphere was rather awkward after she joined as everyone remained silent . Arthur and Lucy excused themselves and ’went to sleep’, as for the rest, they either ate or tried striking a conversation with the woman .

Jace wasn’t a famous figure but he was still knowledgeable, he recognized the silver-haired woman with a glance which is why he tried so hard to rope her in . With her at their side, they have nothing to fear in the perilous land .

’Who would’ve thought your sister is so much different than you . ’

’Hmpf! If I see you stare at her, you’re dead meat!’

Lucy snorted and glared at him, clearly telling to not do anything . The silver-haired woman was indeed a beauty, just like his wife, which is why Lucy felt threatened, as usual .

However, the two behaved differently . Lucy would’ve never traveled with strangers... heck! It wouldn’t be strange if she killed were they tried anything suspicious . As for her sister, she actually joined their group, just like that .

’Is she perhaps a softie?’

"Be careful, she has the Dark Void Physique . "

Claud warned him but it wasn’t anything too serious . Although she’s really strong, she isn’t his or Lucy’s match as their stats are just too absurd but it wouldn’t hurt to be wary .

The Dark Void Physique is a branch of the Void-Physique and it’s a king Physique . It’s extremely strong as it allows the user to pass through material things .

...

The next morning, the group departed together with Jace leading . The silver-haired woman tagged along but remained at the back . She didn’t seem too interested in Jace and his former party but she would throw curious glances at Arthur, for some unknown reason .

This annoyed him as it made him feel tense . Out of everyone, why does it have to be him that gets stared at by her . She didn’t talk or do anything out of the ordinary, she would follow and watch from the back if any God Beast appears .

It wasn’t something Jace and his friends couldn’t handle . This forest was relatively safe compared to the other zones and in one more day, they’ll be out of this area .

’Hey! Your sister is kind of annoying, you know!’

Arthur inwardly grumbled as he talked to Lucy, whose lips arched up a bit, clearly smiling .

’What’s that got to do with me? And she’s not my sister!’

Hearing her half-serious, half-mocking tone, Arthur rolled his eyes and quickened his pace, walking in front of Lucy so that the woman in behind can’t stare at him .

Sadly, his attempts were futile as all of a sudden, Jace halted and stared at a small-pond fifty meters away from them . It a clean pond that had a beautiful golden flower growing at its center . The flower pulsed with a bright golden light that made it look prettier .

"It’s actually the Golden Numbra!"

As Jace just stated, this flower was a Golden Numbra . A herb that aids Sovereigns fuse with their God Spirit . It isn’t priceless but it could fetch them quite the sum .

Unfortunately, most rare herbs are always protected by some sort of a beast or plant, including this one . Very soon, Jace started planning how to acquire the Golden Numbra . He discussed it with his teammates before walking to Lucy and Arthur then saying

"Since it’ll be a very dangerous fight, we can’t let you join us, however, you can contribute in other ways . "

He paused for a second, studying their reactions, before resuming:

"You’ll have to approach the pond and lure whatever is protecting that . Once it has shown itself, you’ll flee toward us . "

Lucy frowned and retorted

"So we’re . . . bait?"

Jace waved his hands while saying

"No no no your job is to lure them out, it’s totally different . "

’Tsk! Muscle-head . ’

Although Lucy didn’t like his shameless behavior and words, she still didn’t refuse . As for Arthur, he tried his best to act scared and uneasy, which worked wonders as the mighty savior herself! Lucy’s sister, joined the conversation .

"I will lure it out of its nest . "

’Such a brave and kind attitude! I expected no less from your sister!’

Arthur sarcastically said to Lucy, who strangely remained silent . Now that the woman butted in, wanting to take the siblings’ job, Jace couldn’t force them to do it . He threw an angry glare at Lucy before smiling and nodding his head to the silver-haired woman .
