Chapter 2193 - You Don’t Know My Eye (1/2)

The moonlight was bright, and Han Sen still stood near the jade toad. He quietly absorbed all the moon and cold powers he could draw in.

The jade toad was treating him well partially because he had proficiency in the practice of Jadeskin. After he absorbed the moon and cold power, his power and aura became closer to the jade toad’s. That was why the jade toad was okay with him being there.

But still, that wasn’t enough for the jade toad to treat him so specially. The toad’s kindness was mostly because of another important reason: Han Sen had the title Son of Moon.

Wherever Han Sen went, the moon presented him with moonlight. The moonlight was very strong, and since the jade toad had to spit out moons to practice its own geno arts, Han Sen’s presence benefitted them all. It was good for the deified toad, and it was good for the smaller toads. So, the jade toad was happy to allow Han Sen to do whatever he wished.

Han Sen knew that the toad’s goodwill depended on his reciprocation. He was useful to the jade toad, and that was why he was being treated nicely. Otherwise, the deified xenogeneic would have forced him to remain on the porch.

Han Sen didn’t think he was prettier than others. Even if he was handsome, he didn’t think the jade toad knew how to determine the beauty of humans for favoritism.

Han Sen only figured that out after sitting down and having a good think.

Han Sen had paid close attention to his relationship with the toad. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared fight against Night River King for the moonlight, especially without having the tablet. It was just that the jade toad needed him, and Han Sen had realized it. The toad wouldn’t be angry because he didn’t have the guardian tablet.

When the reflection of the moon was on the water, Han Sen’s image seemed to grow crisper and clearer. The moon power and the cold power drifted inside of Han Sen. They made his genes quietly evolve to a better level.

Twenty-two hours later, Night River King was still moving around on the stone porch. Han Sen’s body was wholly blocking the moon. Try as he might, Night River King couldn’t absorb an ounce of that moonlight.

It didn’t matter how angry Night River King was, all he could do was sit there. He was unable to leave. He had to wait until the jade toad returned to Cold Palace. Once it had fully vanished through the door, only then could he leave.

But Night River King wasn’t planning on going anywhere. He was waiting for the jade toad to enter Cold Palace. Han Sen was just a Marquise, and he had humiliated Night River King a lot. This was something Night River King wasn’t willing to accept. He had to wait until the jade toad returned to Cold Palace. And when it was gone, he’d kill Han Sen.

Even though Yisha was dead, killing Han Sen would still damage his reputation. But no one would offend Night River King in order to protect the soon-to-be-deceased Han Sen.

Night River King was very confident. He knew his limits. He knew what he could and couldn’t do. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained so calm in the days when Yisha was alive and well. He had never brought harm to Han Sen.

Over the course of time, though, Night River King had become calmer and calmer. He paid attention to the time, and he knew each tick of the clock brought Han Sen one second closer to the doom that awaited him.

Eventually, the jade toad brought the little jade toads down the frozen waterfall. They went back into the stone cave as they always did.

Night River King stood where he was, not daring to make a move just yet. He stared at Han Sen, his eyes intent.

Night River King knew that to kill someone, you had to remain calm. Blinding yourself with anger would only make you lose control. Mistakes usually arose from careless anger. Even though Han Sen was just a Marquise, Night River King did not want to leave too much in the way of evidence.

Night River King wasn’t the most famous character in the Rebate. His talents were only considered fair. It was rather unique that he had survived and made it to King class, because the geniuses of his generation were all dead.

When the jade toads all retreated back into the stone cave, the stone door closed. Then, Night River King went over to Han Sen. He walked with a straight back, as calm as the water in a well.

“Han Sen, you are still too young. You don’t know your place, in that you don’t know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do,” Night River King said as he approached Han Sen.
