Jen felt a sudden warm embrace and her body got stiffened, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Zhi Chang, "You don"t have a reason to cry, do you?" he gently patted on her back shoulder, he was polite and caring. Jen saw the same kindness and genuineness which she was used to witness during her early years, "I don"t have a reason to smile," she spoke translucent.
"Then we"ll find it," he lightly smiled.
"Why would you waste your time on a worthless thing?" Jen blinked her eyes, she could not believe what she heard, normally Zhi Chang was reserved and silent, at least this was what she exactly knew about him and nothing else.
"Everything about you is precious, even your smile can be traded with whole three spheres," he spoke honestly.
Jen wide opened her eyes to hear this, her cheeks were still wet and she was looking at him with disbelieve.
"Good girl, never cry again," he gently coaxed and cleaned her face.
Jen simply nodded, what else she was expect to say.
"I can see your breakthrough was very successful, come I"ll treat you something special," he beckoned her with an incredible smile, there was certain type of sincerity and genuineness in his smile, that Jen has to ask herself, "Is it me affected or his smile is really captivating?"
She even forgot to respond with an answer, "Mm"
"What are you thinking?" Zhi Chang looked in her eyes and asked, "Congratulations senior for your breakthrough," her eyes fell on his chest and she could feel the Legend Realm aura.
"Aha, two love birds are cooking* something in the void," They were in dilemma of situation when they heard.
Jen immediately parted with embarra.s.sment, she was little angry at the disrespectful word this anonymous cultivator used for them, Zhi Chang stood up to face this unwanted impertinent.
"What business you have here?" Zhi Chang asked grimly.
The man was above Legend Realm and he scrutinized Zhi Chang from head to toe then he side glanced to take a look at the girl, "From your appearance and bearings, both look some n.o.ble of rich Manias, I dare order you both to hand over your storage and I will leave without making any fuss," he confidently spoke and crossed his arms on his chest while waiting.
"What if we don"t?" Zhi Chang closed his hand into fist, how daring to randomly appear and order them, who was he to order this confidently?
"Young man behave properly, I am already considering a favor by not looking at your beautiful woman, you see?" he meaningfully smirked.
Zhi Chang got angry now, he broke his dominion and attacked, if compared he has no experience in actual battle, the time he was brought in this sphere and two or three years he spent in the Flyleaf Manias was a short period and quite peaceful, he rarely need to show his battle prowess and later he was captured inside the Acmes Pair, where he was supposed to practice his battle strength then, "Though you are Legend but pretty noob, you even don"t know how to handle the territory of dominion," the man mocked him.
"So you have a habit to bully juniors?" Jen spoke angrily, she don"t like the way this man mocked senior Zhi Chang, but she don"t want to engage in a sudden battle too.
"Oh, this beautiful swan has a sharp tongue, alas, I don"t like sharp woman," the man answered while aimlessly increasing the force of his dominion to defeat Zhi Chang.
"I also don"t like bullies," Jen answered before Zhi Chang could think a way to get rid this man.
Jen knew that Zhi Chang would not back down no matter if he has no experience for battle but he would stay by her side, she also don"t want to take the charge to defeat the man, it would look improper manners especially when a man was ready to stand for her but he needed to learn first, right?
"Hold back your dominion senior," she almost whispered, Zhi Chang as soon as held it back, she took him and disappeared, Jen thought to avoid any conflict before Zhi Chang learn and experience small battles.
The man laughed out, "She has sharp ways with her sharp tongue, interesting," the man also disappeared.
After latching some distance, Jen appeared, it was not as easy as she thought, to use evanesce apt.i.tude while compering another person was difficult, she almost struggled to keep herself hidden.
"Senior Zhi Chang, I can hold it no more," she accepted truthfully, "You don"t worry Jen,"
"Senior please, that man can easily defeat you, and I can"t see this happening," she bit on her lip to think how she should sound more properly.
"Come on, you can teach me right? I am not that bad student, you can trust, no?" he pleasantly spoke, when it was about Jen, he has no ego wall to show.
Jen was shocked with his answer, she was worried that Zhi Chang might feel embarra.s.s or she might hurt his ego but here he was asking her to mentor, this easy?
"Learners never shy, and who shy can never get a good mentor," he smiled to decrease the awkwardness.
"I am not mentoring these days, I am mugging wealthy noobs," the man again appeared, he searched the whole distance and finally found them because Jen was not able to latch a long distance.
He was not alone, there were many cultivators who did the same, sometime they form gangs and sometime they target alone depending on the situation.
They were among those who were looking for abundant resources and there was no one for their backing or they were rapscallions, they usually look for well to do cultivators and demand their storage, this was common way to avoid a sudden mark up, if it was necessary they won"t back down even if they had to bully others.
The higher levels demand insane amount of resources and rapscallions cannot afford to collect with fair means, it was not that they don"t know fair means but it was long and arduous process to live in some Manias and fight challenges.
It was feasible to wander in different voids and find targets, usually with this way it was high chance that they could get hold on some treasure and then this treasure would be a right fruit of their struggle.
Challenges can only guarantee some gold pins and gold pins were useless for cultivators, they needed jade pins for the pure essence supply and usually rich n.o.bles of crown families possess Jade pins in their storage.
"Listen to me girl, you are only stubborn, your man can"t protect you if you are going this way, be good and hand over your storage," the man warned her.
"I am saying this last, I don"t have a good temper," this time he furiously opened his dominion to threaten both noobs.
Battle experienced cultivators can never be compared with simple learners, this was a fact and the man was aware about it, according to his observation these two love birds belong to some rich crown family and they advanced their levels with the sources of their Manias that means they have zero battle experience and if his luck was good they must have some treasure in their possession.
Jen slowly opened her dominion and spoke, "I am not sure if I could mentor very well, but I can give few pointers for this senior, do follow my guidance," she asked to Zhi Chang and broke her dominion.
Zhi Chang immediately followed her without giving it another thought.
The man heard and felt spurting blood, to think this girl can give pointers to another Legend, was it joke to begin with?
To give pointers, one has to be on higher levels minimum, and if he was not wrong this girl was also a Legend, according to his experience, their breakthrough was recent that means they have not fully grasped the level yet.
Jen controlled her dominion and her essence force came raging her territory, it was stronger and ravaging toward the man, as soon as it clashed the other dominion, it roared like a living dragon, the impact was strong enough that the man stepped back, he was not expecting this strong clash of dominion.
"Did this senior notice, my dominion slowly fueled and clashed, this is a way to ravage the layers of fury, once the fury pick its peak, the impact it would create would be doubled by the time it left the territory," Jen was giving pointers and instructions to Zhi Chang.
The man was bewildered to hear her, "was she truly giving pointers? But she looked giving full attention to her attack?" he clutched his hair.
He carefully observed her movements and felt that she was arrogant, if her peaceful attacking was not arrogance then what was it? He nodded to himself after reaching this conclusion.
