Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Go To The Fairy Palace Again
Letitia was in an extremely bad mood. “He has so many women! He's not a good guy!” she fumed.
Margaret didn't know why, but the sight of the normally dignified girl's pout made her smile. Maybe she found it endearing. Margaret wasn't sure, but Letitia's jealousy seemed to cancel the bitterness in her heart. “But Zen got to know this woman first,” she teased.
“I don't care! No matter what, he's not a good guy!” Letitia huffed, her face red in anger.
Margaret tutted, “If Zen was a bad guy, he would've just left and never come back. His righteousness is what made him keep his promise.”
But Letitia still adamantly shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes. “No! He is not a good guy!” she stubbornly whined.
Margaret sighed in resignation and extended her sleeved arm towards her.
Letitia flinched at her sudden movement. “What are you doing?” she asked.
Margaret ignored her question and used her sleeve to wipe away the tears from her face. “He's not a good guy, but he's still our husband,” she reminded Letitia.
Her words stunned the crying girl in silence. Margaret was right. No matter what Letitia thought of Zen, at the end of the day, he was still her husband who she had to stick with through thick and thin. She knew she could get very possessive of him, but she had already known that someone like him couldn't belong to her entirely. It was time she swallowed this bitter truth.
Kenneth, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel a bit jealous as he looked at Letitia. 'Zen is really so awesome!' he thought to himself as he floated further away.
It was normal for a warrior to have multiple women. Kenneth himself had dozens of women.
Zen only had three, but the thing was, all his women were top-notch!
Letitia was the leader of Central Region's biggest sect. Although the woman beside her was unknown to Kenneth, he knew her background couldn't be simple. Zen's brides were sure to be of high status. How could they ever be compared with ordinary women?
'He just married Master Ning and held a grand wedding ceremony not too long ago, but here he is with Aura. Zen is indeed a real man!' Kenneth thought, admiring Zen from the bottom of his heart. However, he also could not help but steal a glance at Letitia. 'She looks rather furious, but there's nothing she can do about it...'
Zen took his time comforting Aura. After a while, the topic finally shifted to her father.
Kane had once been a steward of Cloud Hall, but disappeared during a mission. There was no news of him until now.
Fortunately, Zen was able to gather the information regarding Kane's whereabouts within the memories of the world's will which contained all the happenings in this great world.
A trace of sadness visibly appeared on his face. “Your father has passed away in some relic in the Central Region,” he told Aura.
The girl's eyes dimmed. “Oh, is that so?” she muttered sadly. She had already expected this since her father had been gone for so long, but there was always that small sliver of hope in her heart that he was alive. Getting this information from Zen finally confirmed her fears.
“I will have Cloud Hall send someone to bring back his remains,” he assured her.
Aura nodded quietly. She was more reserved compared to Letitia, and now that Zen had let go of her, she purposely put some distance between the two of them.
Meanwhile, Margaret saw that Letitia had finally calmed down. She grabbed the other girl's hand and pulled her up. “Come on.”
Letitia frowned and tried to pull away. “What are you doing?”
Margaret smiled, “Let's go and say our greetings.” “No!” Letitia stubbornly refused.
Margaret shook her head at her childishness. Who knew the leader of the biggest sect in Central Region could act like this. “In the end, we still have to get to know each other. How can you avoid that?” she reasoned.
Letitia bit her lip, unable to think of a reply to Margaret's sound logic.
She helplessly let Margaret drag her away as they flew towards the mountainside.
Margaret's way of thinking made her baggage much lighter compared to Letitia's. So long as she could accompany Zen to the very end, then it was paradise. It did not matter how many women he met and fell for along the way. Ṝ𝙖₦ÒBËṩ
Zen's expression, on the other hand, couldn't be painted once he saw Margaret and Letitia arrive. He had no idea how to deal with his relationship with three women, but he had to force himself to introduce them to each other.
Margaret, fortunately, was extremely sociable and greeted Aura first. Letitia merely stood to the side quietly. The three of them looked unsurely at each other, not really knowing what to make of the situation.
Each one of them felt differently about this arrangement but it was a harmonious first meeting, for now at least. Zen felt he got lucky this time for passing this kind of test.
The next two days were spent in the Cloud Sect. According to reports, Nory, with his own strength, had regained his position in the Mo Clan. Wurth, on the other hand, had officially taken over the Zhang Clan's business. It seemed everyone managed to accomplish a lot over the past few years.
After those two days, Zen headed south, back to the Luo Clan in C County.
Although its location wasn't in the Burning Sky Imperial Capital, the Luo Clan's sudden rise in power couldn't be ignored. They had even managed to surpass the force of the seven noble clans, mainly because of Zen.
They knew his rise and fall in Central Region. He had even disappeared for two years, but no one ever dared to offend the Luo Clan in case Zen ever returned. That was how much they feared him.
This fear from others allowed Luo Clan's influence to expand rapidly, making them an unbeatable force in C County.
Zen's presence was now celebrated in the Luo Clan. He had also brought with him treasures and precious cultivation methods.
Of course, these things he brought were just mere, ordinary trinkets for him, but they were extremely valuable to the Luo Clan. Zen was careful not to give them too much of the good stuff.
Nevertheless, he helped them when he could. Zen knew he was fated to live an extremely long life and when he came back again, probably many years later, the entire clan might have already been replaced with new faces. He also knew he wouldn't be able to care for them forever since he would need to focus on his training and preparation to ascend to the Upper World.
It was a good thing that the Eastern Region was under the control of Cloud Sect, which in turn was under the control of Cloud Hall. Even if he didn't ask, the Could Sect would still look after the Luo Clan for him. However, living well would still depend on the capabilities of the clan itself. He could only hope the best for them.
A few days later, he left the Luo Clan and went west.
This confused his ladies. Since Zen had already finished his tasks, he should be rushing back to the Central Region. Why were they heading west?
Zen, of course, refused to tell them and chose to act mysterious. He simply told them that he was bringing them to a mysterious, secluded place.
This “mysterious, secluded place” turned out to be the Dragon Valley of the Cloudy Mountain. It was the location of the fairy palace that Zen had entered before.
This fairy palace was extremely strange. Aside from Zen, the only person that had ever come here was Immortal Mist.
But, even with his cultivation level at the Spirit Supreme Realm, Immortal Mist was still unable to control the fairy palace and had only managed to obtain one more token than Zen. The token he got had the character “thunder” on it. He had given it to Zen, who had initially gotten the one with “wind.”
According to what Immortal Mist told him, this fairy palace did not have a name since nobody, in the entire a hundred thousand supreme worlds of the universe, had the qualifications to name it.
Zen thought Immortal Mist might've been exaggerating, but he knew that it was a place he definitely had to explore before he ascended to the Upper World. He did not know if he'd be able to obtain the fairy palace's secrets despite reaching the Life and Death Realm, but he would have to see.
“So this is where you wanted to take us?” Letitia said, looking at the empty valley.
“Follow me!” he said, walking towards a seemingly insignificant corner. He slowly walked between two bamboo sticks before a green light flashed and he disappeared right before their very eyes.
