Chapter 248: A generous offer?

A few days later, under Azaria’s order. The entire Heaven Body Refining Sect was integrated into the Immortal Jade Empire.

Of course, they didn’t dare disturb the Grand Elder…yet.

Once again, the continent was thrown into chaos, but this time. The people were truly panicked, and cultivators moved from one place to another.

Due to the Emperor’s absence in the territories of Rahu, the crime rate reached an all-time high. The entire north and northeast were in chaos. The east fared relatively better due to Rhaevira’s presence. But the north and northeast remained in chaos. Due to the absence of Rahu and Yveline, the only truly expirienced one left was Ophelia. However, she was occupied with other tasks assigned by Rahu.

All the responsibility fell on Azaria’s shoulders, but she could only do so much. Despite the support of Vivianne, Zira, Anaria, Xinyi, Seris, Lirae, Larae, and a few others. They managed to calm the waves.

But it was all shattered the moment the Empire’s forces launched a fierce retaliation. The situation was still in control because of Vivianne’s presence. But soon, the Empire began to show its true power.

The Innate Domain Realm experts were sent in bulk, headed by the Divine Spark Realm cultivators. The situation worsened further when the people in their territories refused to cooperate.

And as the last option, Azaria couldn’t help but contact Yveline. Although she felt bad for disturbing her, the situation was really out of their control.

The moment Yveline heard this, she rushed back to the Holy Sun Continent and single-handedly slaughtered half of the forces of the entire Empire!

But after that, Yveline mysteriously halted her assault. She didn’t tell the reason to anyone, just the words, ’Call me immediately when Rahu is out of seclusion’.

Only then did the situation calm down after a few days. Ophelia also returned, and the pressure on Azaria’s shoulders lessened. Though she still handled ninety percent of the work.

…

In the territories of House Maya.

Unexpectedly, the territory of Maya was one of the most mystical places in Yvaris. Not the mystical rainbows and mind-blowing waterfalls. It was unique to the standards of Yvaris.

They were one of the strongest Houses in the entire continent; their control over dreams and illusion made them one of the deadliest opponents.

The men and women of this House were among the most beautiful beings and demonic beings in the entire continent of Yvaris.

In the dark alleys of one of the towns near the borders of House Maya territory.

A clocked figure walked boldly towards a tavern, her face masked by the hood.

In front of her was a large tavern; the clinks of jugs and shouts of women could be heard even when standing outside.

Miranthu’s golden irises swept across the entire town in a mere few seconds. And after an accurate guess, she estimated there were only a few peak Origin Realm cultivators stationed here.

Meaning, the town wasn’t that significant…which could act as a perfect base for spreading her husband’s parasite, aka the golden Orchid.

“Miss Miranthu, what are your orders?”

Beside her, another middle-aged woman was standing gracefully. She, too, was a part of this House once before entering the Emperor’s Harem.

Now, she served as the maid of one of the closest women to the Emperor. Her luck and glory were out of the charts.

“First, look for a bit of information about their core forces. Although I have gotten everything from Lucy. A bit more wouldn’t hurt,” Miranthu concluded, although she hid the fact that she didn’t believe Lucy’s words entirely. Not in the sense of doubting her, but she was sure that the information available for someone like Lucy would be very limited.

“As you wish, Miss Miranthu,” Saying that, she disappeared.

Miranthu sighed when she saw this. It was such a hassle. If she were as strong as Yveline, why would she go through all of this? Just a mere pinch of her aura would be enough to flatten the cultivators here.

The alley she was standing in was a bit dark, the forward gap leading to the tavern. Without wasting a single second, she stepped forward.

The moment she stepped out of the alley, four shadows fell that overshadowed her lithe figure.

“Hehe, big brother. Just look at this woman, her smell…it’s so unique.”

“True! And her body…damn!”

“Miss, how about spending a night with the four of us?”

“We will even pay you!”

There were four men, all looking at Miranthu with blatant lust in their eyes. And judging from their auras…they were one of the mightiest…Spirit Realm cultivators.

Miranthu shook her head when she saw this, “Get lost before I lose my patience.”

She spoke in a flat tone and took a step forward. And once again, the men blocked her.

“Miss, hehe, why are you in such a hurry?”

“Yes, yes! Accompany for the night. We are even willing to pay you!”

Hearing this, Miranthu chuckled. “Pay huh? How much are you willing to pay then?”

She asked them, her voice filled with amusement.

Hearing her words, the four men exchanged greedy looks, mistaking her amusement for interest.

“Hehe…as much as you want!” The tallest one said, licking his lips lasciviously. “Spirit stones, treasures, and if you satisfy us…We would even give you our protection!”

Protection…she almost laughed out loud. But she held it in.

Miranthu slowly raised her head and pulled down her hood.

Her flawless face was revealed under the dim light of the moon. But instead of Lust, all four men froze.

Because the moment they saw those deep, glowing golden orbs. All they felt was fear…

Danger.

Without even her doing anything, her mere gaze was so powerful that it pinned them in their spot.

“What generous offers. But I have to decline. You see, my husband is a bit possessive towards me. I am sure if I talk with you guys a bit longer, he would raze this entire town to ashes. So…would you kindly fuck off?”

With a flick of her finger, the four men were blasted off thousands of miles.

“Sigh…Rahu, you rascal, what have you done to me? Even the mere sight of other men disgusts me now.”

Miranthu shook her head and, of course, blamed everything on Rahu. Her heels echoed softly as she walked toward the tavern.
