They found many historic sites and even discovered a few places with the engravings of the Witch cultivation techniques. However, they could not cultivate them. They could only memorize them and put them off until a later date.
Another night passed…
Alex and Phoenix woke up almost at the same time. Both of them were lying on a thick animal skin. It was the only well-preserved animal skin that they managed to find. They did not know what the beast was, but it had certainly gone through countless years.
Perhaps it was a bit cold last night. When the two people woke up, they discovered that they were hugging each other for warmth. The pose was somewhat ambiguous. In fact, they had been accustomed to this situation. It was just that neither of them intended to move and get up after opening their eyes.
“The dragon blood is finished.”
“Yes! Eating and drinking have become a problem now.”
“I’m feeling a little hungry now. I will be even hungrier if I get up!”
They had searched the entire Sinless City during that period earlier. This place was a dead city. They could not get out at all. No living things were present either. There was even little presence of water. It was the kind that was full of evil Chi and tasted terrible, so bad their entire bodies turned cold after drinking it.
Alex looked at Phoenix. “Do you think we will die here?”
Phoenix shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Alex asked her, “Do you have any regrets?”
Phoenix thought for a while. “What I regret the most is that I can’t see my parents again. How about you?”
“I… I have too many regrets.”
“That’s because you have too many women! Lecher!”
As they spoke, their eyes met, and the atmosphere turned bizarre.
Alex slowly approached her. Phoenix did not avoid him either, as if she had long been waiting for this moment.
“Undead Queen, you’ve actually regained your cultivation! How did you do it?”
Juvia laughed heartily. “Why should I tell you?”
Alex and Phoenix looked at each other and felt hopeless. They were currently ordinary people. Moreover, they were starving, so how could they be compared to the Undead Queen who had regained her cultivation?
There was only a dead end.
“Juvia, what’s done is done! If you want to kill or dismember us, make it quick!” Alex directly said.
“Hmph! It’s as easy as falling off a log to kill you guys! However, I’m not going to kill you now. Instead, I need you to do me a favor.”
Phoenix asked, “What favor?”
Juvia said, “Take a trip to that huge grinder in the city on my behalf.”
