Chapter 26: Changing Appearance

What happened in Duster City became a ruckus in the whole Eastern region.

A mysterious cultivator saved everyone in Duster City from a number of 10,000 bandits from the Red Moon Castle. Thus, it totally erased the existence of the notorious bandit. Furthermore, it even reached the ears of some alliances within the banditry industry.

Some powerful people traveled to the city in the hopes of obtaining information or even establishing a connection with the cultivator. However, the landlord, Arthur Lim, just remained silent and didn't disclose the identity of the savior of the city.

There were even people who tried their way, even using violence, but alas, they couldn't even dare to since they were afraid that this might be discovered by that individual, resulting in their death since they weren't confident with their strength to be compared to the rumored cultivator.

Arthur, on the other hand, remained silent, not letting anyone outside the family know the identity of Lucas. Even the servants were shut in, threatening them with punishment if the information was leaked.

The whole month has become hectic for Duster City because of those people.

Lucas and Felicity finally left Duster City. And as for the reason, there's nothing in particular. Lucas just felt like leaving the city since he had nothing to do there. He would just be bored since they would just be cleaning the area.

So instead, it's better to leave the area before he feels bored there.

As the plan had been changed, Lucas gazed at Felicity and asked about the plan.

Well, not dependent on her, actually. He was just asking since it was Felicity's plan of making him a way to ascend to the Upper Heavens.

"Felicity, where should we go now? Since I have reached the peak of the Master Spirit Realm, will we still go to the location you first mentioned?" he asked.

Felicity thought about it. It was already inside her head since the unexpected breakthrough by Lucas wasn't part of the plan.

"Hm… Let me ask you first. Does your ability to absorb people's spiritual energy affect other creatures?" Felicity asked.

"Well, not actually. I can just absorb those who release their energy after dying and it's not like I can absorb everything. Currently, I can just absorb 5% of the total." Lucas explained, clarifying Felicity's idea.

"And maybe you are thinking if I can absorb monster cores by just killing them. I should say first that it's impossible since they can materialize their core, unlike humans. Thus, it means that their energy can't be absorbed in killing since they make their own physical storage." Lucas added.

Then he continued. "It might be confusing, but trust me, I am also confused since my ability wasn't made for this purpose. It was just my hypothesis and it turned out that it's working."

Felicity didn't speak for a moment. She first analyzed the explanation and then came up with an understanding. When she finally understood Lucas' ability, even though it was questionable why he had such an ability or if he was even a human, in the beginning, she just didn't mind it.

"Since what you said was actually something I didn't expect. Maybe we still need to head away from our primary plan. Our plan was not really to stay in the area where the Warrior stage monsters flock. We were going to sell your monster cores at the Morning Sun where trading is abundant." Felicity said in a nonchalant tone.

"I see… But how much do you think 12 monster cores cost?" Lucas asked since he doesn't know much about the currency of the world.

Felicity was left thinking. The currency might have changed since what she can remember was many years ago. Time might not change the places, but the currencies can be easily changed.

"I don't know. Let's see it first." Felicity said. "Morning Sun City is just ahead in the northern part of the Eastern region. Let's just change our direction."

Since Lucas has no knowledge about geography, he just followed Felicity without making any sound.

Hours later, they finally reached the city and it's almost evening since the sun is about to set.

Lucas looked at Felicity and recalled something. Felicity's face is a problem.

"Felicity, do you know how to change your appearance?" Lucas asked.

"Huh? Why do you ask?" she asked in confusion, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, it's kind of a problem," Lucas said. And before he could continue, he was cut by Felicity's reaction.

"P-Problem?! How dare you call a delicate face a problem?!" she exclaimed.

Lucas could only slap his forehead since he said it in the wrong way. He smiled awkwardly, with a hint of a snicker behind it.

"I don't mean it that way. You are too beautiful and people will react the same way as in Duster City. Since we don't have better clothes that will suit our faces, can you at least change yours?" Lucas calmly fixed the misunderstanding.

Felicity, on the other hand, was left speechless in embarrassment because she had reacted incorrectly. Lucas was just thinking of her being, then she acted as if her dignity had been trampled.

Felicity is used to being called beautiful, thus at first, she didn't expect that her face would be called a problem. However, since she was used to it, she also didn't expect that Lucas calling her beautiful would be a big deal to her.

When she heard Lucas saying those words, there was an unexplainable throb in her heart. She could only wonder what it was.

"S-Sure… I can change my appearance. So… sorry for reacting in a bad way." she reluctantly said, making it obvious that she was kind of embarrassed at the moment.

Lucas just shook his head.

"Don't worry. It wasn't really a big deal. So, can you change it right now?" he asked.

However, Felicity didn't reply immediately. When he noticed it, he asked her instinctively.

"What's the problem? You can change your appearance, right?" he asked again.

Felicity lowered her head in dispiriting. "I can, but not right now. Changing one's appearance requires a huge amount of spiritual energy, but if I do it, I can't protect you since I would be focused on maintaining my appearance," she explained.

Lucas just sighed. "Don't worry about protecting me. I'm already at the Peak of Master stage, so worry not," he said with an assuring smile.

"Well, it might look like that. But I can't tell when you will need my help, and I can't easily assist you since I lack spiritual energy." She said.

"I get it. But I already said, don't worry. It won't even be necessary to protect me, so maintain a different appearance. And if I would be in a hard situation, I have tricks up my sleeve, so it's okay. I'm honored that you think of my safety, but don't underestimate me."

Felicity sighed in defeat and changed her appearance without making any sound.

A few seconds later, her body started reforming and her pale skin started to become less white. Her silver hair also turned dark, similar to the general hair color of the public.

Then, her face became less beautiful, but only had the average appearance of a female.

"Is this okay?" she asked, feeling a little embarrassed since she really doesn't know how to change her appearance appropriately.

"It's okay," Lucas said.

Then, they finally descended from far away, far enough away from the gate to not create a ruckus.
