“What?!”
“You… You’ve consumed it?! ”
Everyone let out a harsh gasp. Even the young lord’s eyes widened. ‘Is the Great Star Pill even edible? Who would dare to consume it directly? Wouldn’t it be equivalent to suicide after consumption?’
“Did you really consume it?”
“You’re fine?”
“No! No! How did you steal my Great Star Pill? Impossible! You weren’t in the pill room during the concoction of the Great Star Pill! And, I opened the cauldron to retrieve the pill right after it condensed… Unless you managed to stretch your hands into the cauldron with remarkable abilities during the pill condensation…”
“Hahaha…”
The woman couldn’t help but burst into laughter. There was zero possibility of such a thing happening. “If he can go to that extent, I will kneel down and call him ‘lord’ right away.”
Alex shook his head. “I don’t like to become someone’s lord. I would like to become a daddy, though, so you can call me ‘daddy’ instead.”
“…”
The woman’s jovial expressions instantly stiffened. “Are you taking advantage of me?”
Lorelei stopped her sisters with a wave of a hand. She then looked at Alex “Tell us then. Why do you have the aura of the Great Star Pill on you? Where did you get it from?”
“Someone gave it to me.”
“Get lost! How about you try asking someone to give it to me?”
Next to them, a woman in green shouted, “No! I sensed the aura of my blood essence emanating from his body! It’s really the Great Star Pill that we have concocted! We’ve successfully produced it, but it went into him for some reason!”
“What?”
Once, Heavenly Emperor Genbu had also asked him to substitute for the seed so that he could block calamities from happening to it.
However…
Now that the seed wanted his life, he wouldn’t be that brainless. Looking at the seed, Alex sighed gently. “I think you have somewhat failed your ancestors’ expectations.”
“What did you say?”
“I’m saying that you are unworthy of becoming the seed!”
At that moment, no one noticed that the eyes of the statue in the shrine, the one Alex had wiped repeatedly and had it stripped, started to move. It even blinked gently.
The statue had come to life.
Initially trapped in a certain hazy gray space, the woman sent a stream of consciousness onto the statue. She was infuriated.
