Chapter 297 - The Infatuated Goddess (2/2)

Lei Yu nodded, “Right. After all, she is my first love. Although it’s not that explosive heart-stirring kind or one that had weathered the storms of life, it’s because of the peacefulness that made me understand her more. I cannot lose her. In my heart, she will always be in the first place.”

Telephassa’s body trembled from a sob; it was tears that came straight from the heart. “Then what about me? What am I considered in your heart? A thousand years, I’ve waited for you for over a thousand years! I’ve been missing and longing for you throughout these past a thousand years! In order for you not to despise me, I worked hard in cultivating in order to retain my youthful looks. Everything was all for you!” After saying that, Telephassa couldn’t talk anymore from sobbing too hard.

“It was fine if I never got to see you for the rest of my life, but now that I’ve seen you, I too don’t want to lose you! I know that there’s no end to cultivation and our lives will continue to be extended indefinitely. That’s why I will no longer care about your age. But please give me some time, two years! In two years, I will tell Ai Er everything about us because I don’t want to hide anything from her.”

“Does that mean I am also very important in your heart?” Telephassa’s eyes widened as she hoped to hear the answer she wanted. She wasn’t let down when Lei Yu silently nodded.

A smile broke through Telephassa’s tears as she wrapped her arms around Lei Yu’s neck. Her soft lips gently affixed themselves to Lei Yu’s cheek but she didn’t further cross that line. Lei Yu’s words were clear - in two years time he will talk to Ai Er. If Ai Er didn’t mind, that’s when she and Lei Yu can truly be together. She had waited for a thousand years already so what’s another two?

Since this is what Lei Yu said, that clearly meant he was unwilling to forsake this goddess that was infatuated with him. It would be great with Ai Er agreed, but if she didn’t, even if he had to hurt her, Lei Yu would have to find the best method to solve this. Ultimately, he didn’t want to cause any pain to his true gal.

The next day. Because Lei Yu didn’t want to delay his training, Minotaur Linos led him to the so called mysterious Devil King’s castle.

The Devil King’s castle wasn’t that far from the city, even a slow walker would only take two hours to reach it. Even though it was close by, without the Demon King’s permission, no one was allowed to take a single step inside. This was a very mysterious place that contained a lot of pure energy, which made it the perfect place for cultivating.

The so called Devil King’s castle was established by a devil’s cultivator that had dominated the Southern Wild Lands in the past. According to the bull-head, that person reached the Mahayana stage as well, but no one knew whether that person continued to make further breakthroughs or died.

It was also around the time when the Devil King disappeared, the Immortal World fell in chaos all because of wanting to occupy this precious territory. Not to mention this precious cultivating area, just the Southern Wild Lands itself would make many people salivate. This was the southernmost tip that was easy to defend and hard to attack. With or without the protection of barriers or formation arrays, this place wasn’t easy to break past. That’s why it was such a sought-after place.

What made others red with envy was the Devil King’s old nest. Buried in the depths of the ancient castle were countless amounts of treasures. One should know for a super expert at Mahayana stage, how could their treasures be ordinary?

This place was surrounded by barren lands where one could only see a range of uneven sand dunes. Strong winds would blow by kicking up layers of sand that made Lei Yu unconsciously close his eyes.

“It’s here.” The bull-head pointed at the front where a slightly higher sand dune was.

Lei Yu looked carefully but couldn’t find anything different. He could only feel the originally hot dessert would have a chilly aura occasionally burst through the sand beneath his feet.

One could see Minotaur Linos lightly clap his hands together, “Open the door!”

The sand dune suddenly collapsed like quicksand before the gradual emergence of a cave.

The bull-head was the first to jump in. Right after that, Lei Yu followed him without hesitation. The cave entrance didn’t seem that high because Lei Yu was only in the air for a few seconds before he landed on the ground.

“Incredible! This is too incredible!” Lei Yu stared around with wide eyes. This place had a luxurious building that was no less than the size of the castle back in the city.

Even though it was buried in the desert, this place wasn’t the gloomy darkness as Lei Yu had imagined. Only carefully scrutinizing the place did he find out where the light was coming from. The walls of this place were constructed with a special material, one that was transparent-like with the role of light reflection. Not only that, the material itself emitted a faint light. Lighting was absolutely not an issue here. And because there was so much of this special material, this place was almost no different to being outside during daytime.
