Chapter 76 Return (1/2)

”Darren, why are you standing still? Be quick and pick the spiritual herbs,” Elsa urged Darren as she noticed him lost in thought.

”Oh, okay,” Darren said dazedly, snapping out of it.

Time flew by. After two hours, his Space Ring was filled with superior spiritual herbs.

”I think that's enough for now, Elsa. My Space Ring is full.”

”Oh, what a pity! I wish I could move the Starry Tower away,” Elsa said regretfully.

”I have more than one hundred thousand superior spiritual herbs in my Space Ring. They're enough to serve us for several years, Elsa! Don't be so greedy. Ha-ha.” Darren burst into laughter, his eyes twinkling.

”You are right.” Elsa nodded and turned around to ask him, ”Darren, did you look at me just now?”

Darren was surprised by Elsa's intuitiveness. But for some reason, he didn't feel embarrassed or guilty. Instead, he replied quickly, ”I wasn't expecting that you could feel it.”

”Gee, you…” Darren's reply shocked Elsa. She said with a smile, ”I… I thought you would deny it.”

”Why would I do that? You're beautiful. I like looking at you. My appreciation for you is not something to be ashamed of.” Darren appeared very composed. After telling her how he was feeling, he turned back and walked towards the staircase leading to the far sky that was filled with stars. It was the entrance to the second floor.

Elsa's heart was beating fast. Vague happiness bloomed in her heart, like a bud that had been waiting to appear.

When she came back to reality, she saw Darren going up the staircase and so trotted along behind him.

The second floor of the Starry Tower was like a storage room of martial skills. Hundreds of bookshelves stood in the room on which there were books about martial arts skills.

Randomly, Darren picked a scroll up.

”Perception Blade Skill. I wasn't expecting it is an extraordinary blade skill!”

Darren read several of its lines and soon ascertained that it was unsuitable for him, so he kept searching.

After several minutes, he found it was strange that all the scrolls he browsed through were for blade skills. Before he could tell Elsa his discovery, she beat him to it. ”Darren, there are at least ten thousand top martial skills, but all of them are blade skills.”
