Chapter 620: Black robed old man (1/2)

In the depths of the cursed wilderness,

'I didn't think father will easily agree to me to go into the depth of the cursed wilderness that easily,'

A beautiful woman donned in light green coloured dress muttered in a barely audible voice while searching for something.

'It is because you allowed your marriage decision to him. After you said that, he was over the moon and nodded his head without thinking much,' Beside her, there was a black coloured lion around the same height as the beautiful woman.

'Tap'

”Brave, why are you remembering the thing I hate the most. I don't want to marry anyone anytime soon,”

As soon as she heard the words of the black lion, the beautiful woman stopped in her tracks and lightly tapped the head of the black lion beside her.

That's right!

The beautiful woman was none other than Keshe and the black lion beside her was the Demonic lion king which was named Brave.

After promising Ajax about searching for his friends in the cursed wilderness, she started searching the entire middle section of the cursed wilderness; however, she could not find a clue about Ajax's friends.

So, she decided to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness with her father's permission in a condition that she had to marry someone.

To which, Keshe nodded her head and easily got the permission and a ring from her father.

”With this ring, no powerful spirit beast kings will bother us and we can venture the depths of the cursed wilderness without any problem,”

Keshe lightly touched the green coloured ring on her finger and said to the demonic lion king.

”So, why are you doing this for him? Do you like him or more than that? My dear master,”

The demonic lion king asked Keshe while letting out some growls as though he was teasing her.

Despite the Demonic lion king being a servant of Keshe, she never looked at him like a servant and treated him like a friend.

”Punch”

This time, Keshe didn't tap the demonic lion king's head; instead, she punched him before saying, ”It's not like what you think. I treat him like my little brother because he was different from all the humans and I felt some kind of closeness towards him just like my big brother.”

After finishing her words, Keshe became a little sad as she recalled about her big brother.

”Your brother is the reason for the rise of spirit beasts' knowledge and he said he will come back when he has some time. So, don't worry,” The demonic lion king tried to console her while lightly patting her head with its huge lion paw.

”Huh?” All of a sudden, the sad expression on her face changed and was replaced with an angry one as she shouted at the demonic lion king, ”How many times do I have to tell you. Don't keep your dirty paw in my head.”

”Haha...just like always, I forgot that,” The demonic lion king laughed as he removed his paw from her head.

”Also, I have another reason to come into the depths of the cursed wilderness other than searching for Ajax's friends,” With the same angry look on her face, Keshe mysteriously replied to the demonic lion king.

”I know it already...Haha,” The demonic lion king was staying with Keshe since he was a cub. So, he knew many things about Keshe. And he replied that he also knew her other reason to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness.

”...”

Keshe wanted to keep the demonic lion king in the suspense; however, he made her speechless with his words.

”From your childhood, you said you wanted to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness and you just found the exact time to ask your father to allow you,” The demonic lion king replied while moving forward.

”That's right! However, I still didn't understand why my father allowed me to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness all of a sudden,”

Keshe still had many doubts regarding her father's permission to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness because he didn't allow her from her childhood saying that she should not enter the depths of the cursed wilderness.

Nevertheless, she didn't ask because she worried her father might change his mind and stop her from entering the depths of the cursed wilderness.

”Keshe….someone is coming,”

'Swoosh'

While they were having some conversation, the demonic lion king sensed some energy fluctuations; however, before he could finish his sentence, someone stood in front of them.
