Chapter 162 - Collecting Holy Nourishing Crystals (1/2)

Cale with his full Void Wolf Immortal set equipment came inside the Cave of Endless Grievance with Aurora following closely behind him.

When Cale first came inside this cave, he was still a bit cautious. But after his breakthrough, he swaggered inside without even bothering to mask his aura.

”Cale, you should release your Brutal Armored Pegasus and let it consume some of the Holy Nourishing Crystals. After all, it is a progeny of a god beast. It would be a waste if you just let it cultivate inside the Virtual Training Environment.” Asteria reminded Cale in a stern voice.

After hearing her words, he was somewhat surprised. It was the first time that Asteria told her about Ember's origins. Ember was the Brutal Armored Pegasus that Cale tamed when he was still on his way towards the Celestial Sword Empire. He thought that the savage beast was just a little special. He never would have thought that it was actually a god beast progeny.

But in all honesty, he had really forgotten about the presence of Ember due to the series of events that had happened inside the empire. He was too focused on it that he did not recall taming a savage beast along the way.

”Why did you not remind me earlier?” Cale smiled ruefully. He only had himself to blame since he neglected Ember for quite some time. He then summoned it out of the Virtual Training Environment.

An elegant and savage-looking horse appeared in front of him. The moment it saw Cale, it happily rubbed its head on his body making him even more guilty about his past actions.

Cale rubbed Ember's head gently and spoke in an apologetic tone. ”Sorry, Ember. I was not good to you during the past few weeks.”

Ember shook its head as if it had understood Cale's words.

Cale smiled and hopped on its back. He then extended his hand and glanced at Aurora with a bright smile beneath his armor. ”Sit behind me, Aurora. It's not a bad experience at all.”

Aurora was silent for a moment, but she still grabbed Cale's hand. She felt his warm hand pulling her towards the back of Ember. She was seated behind Cale. The latter then held both of her hands and placed it on his waist. ”Hold me tightly if you don't want to fall.” He said with a smile.

Aurora unconsciously tightened her hold on Cale's waist making Cale feel two soft mounds pressing against his back. His heartbeat quickened, but he hurriedly dispelled the rising heat he was feeling.

Cale sighed in relief that Aurora did not notice anything or it would have been really awkward for them both. He then urged Ember to run towards the direction of Heavenly Winged Guardian's lair.

The Cave of Endless Grievance was one of Shura's forbidden regions. And the Heavenly Winged Guardian's lair was merely one of the tunnels inside the cave. As for how many tunnels were present inside the cave, even Cale was not sure.

”Asteria, what do you think about this place?” Cale asked Asteria's opinion since she was more knowledgeable than him.
