“Don’t you think Hermione was acting a little weird?” the Plenilune Sect’s sect master said to the grand elder while they were seated in the golden cart.
The grand elder was puzzled. “Which part?”
“You didn’t feel anything?” the sect master said. “After the Reflective Eye went blurry, she seemed stunned, as though she had seen something incredible.”
“Isn’t it because she had insufficient skill to utilize the mirror fully?” the grand elder said.
The sect master sneered, “Do you really think so? She said the same afterward, but if that were really the case, she wouldn’t have looked so surprised. On the contrary, the way she spoke sounded like she was excited, and she even went off alone, in the end, to chase after that Rockefeller guy.”
The grand elder thought for a moment before finally reacting, “Sect Master, do you mean to say that Hermione concealed something from us and left us to look for that Alex?”
Then, after a pause, he seemed to agree. “Yes, her expression was strange at that time. I didn’t think too much about it before, but now that I think about it, it was as you said.”
The sect master sat down on a stool. “Didn’t you realize that the golden cart has been going forward all this while? So we’ve not been too far away from Hermione all this while.”
“Sect Master, you are wise indeed!”
***
Whoosh!
Boom, boom, boom…
Alex held his daughter to his chest and had run into Hermione at least five times already. His swords had killed off four of Hermione’s mirror images.
He initially thought that Hermione’s mirror could produce copies of herself indefinitely. Still, it seemed that no matter how much she copied, she could only have seven mirror images out at one time.
That meant that seven was her limit.
Moreover, after he had killed four of her mirror images, Hermione had only maintained five mirror images after that. It further explained that she had already reached the point where she couldn’t summon more mirror images with her cultivation base at the moment. However, Hermione had received the goddess’ inheritance, and her combat capabilities were good indeed.
At this moment, Alex was stabbed in the back.
There was also strange energy on the wound. Even if he used a Zharvakko talisman, he couldn’t dissipate this strange energy in a short time. Also, blood kept dripping from the wound.
Boom!
However, it still kept up the chase.
“It’s fine. You can divorce your wife. Then, when I become your cultivation partner, I can find a few girls to warm your bed for you. How about it?”
“There’s no need. I already have your underwear with all its natural smell on it! As the saying goes, if the love between two people lasts for a long time, the time they spend apart is still more valuable than the time they spend together between the sheets! I already know what you smell like, Hermione, and that’s enough!”
Clang, Clang, clang!
Three swords shot out again!
Hermione’s face was flushed, and she felt embarrassed and indignant. When she recalled how she had been deceived out of the underwear that she was wearing, she felt ashamed. She was going to be a goddess in the future! But, if this guy had her underwear in his possession and paraded it in front of others, she would be a shameful goddess!
So, this person needed to die!
Squelch!
To protect his daughter, Alex was struck on his right shoulder. Blood flowed freely from the wound. It even splashed onto his daughter’s face.
