A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1694

“Thank you, mister,” Evangeline replied as she knelt before him. “In the meantime, you will have to assume the identity of my friend so that no one else will know about this.”

The Gunderson family’s reputation will be ruined if word gets out about Evangeline being possessed by another soul! After all, such incidents are especially frowned upon by spiritual energy cultivators!

Evangeline nodded. “All right, I understand. Come on, let’s get out of here!” “Not so fast. I came here to look for the Century Eye Herb, so I need to find it before I leave,” Jared said.

“The Century Eye Herb?” Evangeline frowned slightly as she tried to recall what it was. After giving it some thought, she asked, “Is it the one that only has three leaves? The leaves have a pattern that looks like eyes, right?”

“Yes, that’s the one! Do you know where I can find it?” Jared asked excitedly. “I’m sorry. That stuff has been growing on my coffin, so I absorbed it all…” Evangeline replied with an awkward expression.

By absorbing the energy from the Century Eye Herb, the holy maiden’s soul was able to sustain itself till this day.

Jared was a little disappointed when he heard that, but he knew there wasn’t much he could do in this situation. As such, he had no choice but to head back up the volcano with Evangeline.

As Evangeline had swallowed the Fire Immunity Pearl, Jared no longer felt the intense heat from the molten lava when he was near her.

While they were taking their time swimming back up, Flaxseed was on the verge of breaking down from anxiety.

Both Jared and Evangeline have been down there for such a long time now! It’s obvious that something bad must’ve happened to them!

“Oh, Jared… Who would’ve thought this is how you’d go out… Well, at least you died with a beautiful woman by your side, so you won’t be too lonely in the afterlife!” Flaxseed did not expect Jared to end up dying here.

“Wow, she really has returned to normal! Not only did she regain her spiritual energy, but she also looks a lot prettier than before! You sure are a lucky guy when it comes to women, Jared!”

Jared shot him a glare in response. “Ahem…. What are you saying, Mr. Flaxseed?”

Flaxseed let out a mischievous chuckle before holding his hand out toward Evangeline. “Hey, there! Since you’re back to normal, let’s get reacquainted! You can call me Mr. Flaxseed!”

Evangeline flashed him a smile as she shook his hand. “My name is Evangeline. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Flaxseed-”

The look on Flaxseed’s face changed abruptly. The next thing they knew, a few of his charms flew into the air and surrounded Evangeline.
