Suddenly, he heard Jade’s mad laughter from outside, as if she had gone completely insane, cackling with all her might.
Alex jumped, knowing that this Jade wasn’t the Jade he knew on Earth, but instead the princess of the Titan tribe. They merely shared the same name. However, the Undead Queen was trying to take over her body, so he couldn’t possibly let Juvia get her way.
Alex immediately rushed out of his chest, taking complete control of his body again.
Right then, he saw that it was, in fact, Jade laughing out loud, grabbing Phoenix by the neck and lifting her up into the air. The woman’s life was definitely in danger.
Juvia put up a cruel expression. “Phoenix, was it? Now that you’re in my hands, no one would be able to save you, you know? Your parents hadn’t shown up in three thousand years. Do you really think they’d come back to you? That wishful thinking!”
“Oh, and your man Alex… His body had already become my father’s substitute! Haha, your little Diffracted universe will still end up in the Pierce family’s hands!”
“Stop!” Alex called out from behind her.
“Huh?” Juvia turned around and looked at Alex, asking, “Are you Alex now or Father?”
Alex replied. “Of course, I’m your father. This little brat’s cultivation had been sealed off, so how could he possibly fight back? This body is quite good. It’s giving me another chance to feel young… Oh, and let her go, for now, this woman is still useful to us.”
Juvia didn’t doubt him for a second and let Phoenix go immediately. The woman ended up falling harshly to the ground, unable to get back up to her feet.
“Father, why are you keeping her alive?”
This question made Alex tongue-tied for a few seconds before answering the question.
“This place needs a living sacrifice to open the gates. Elsewise, we wouldn’t be able to leave later.”
Alex wasn’t exactly trying to trick her. In fact, he said it in a very natural way.
Alex was now slightly interested in this story. After some thought, he said, “Of course not. We just experienced very odd incidents back then. And it was all because of this evil Bodhi!”
“Via, come here. I’ll let you in on a secret. Do you know who this evil Bodhi is?”
“He’s the owner of the Dairaionji Temple.”
“This guy was the one who forcefully brought me away and ate your aunt. It’s good that I succeeded in defeating him in the end.”
Juvia froze. “He’s the owner of the Dairaionji Temple?”
Alex replied. “That’s right, this place is where the followers of Dairaionji Temple are. Via, I’m so sorry about what happened back then. That’s why I have decided to let you be the owner of this very temple.”
