Chapter 699: An abandoned flute (2) (1/2)

In the past, the more he gets the answers, the more question he has. Nowadays, some things had been resolved and all the question he have is new question. At least that is an improvement

Xu Cong could only sigh and nodded

He is a painter.

He paints.

And while he did not slack off in his training, he is still in the Seed formation stage.

Unless one wanders the world to seek fortune one would not easily level up in this world that is now full of competition.

There is of course some Divine Comprehension leveler that hides from the eyes of the world but these people did not have sturdy foundation.

and while they could pressure normal Disk Formation leveler, when they met a Disk Formation with sturdy foundation, they would easily be defeated.

Such a person would not be regarded a true Divine Comprehension leveler. Some people regarded them as Pseudo Divine Comprehension leveler.

(Notes: regarding the lack of mention of other Divine Comprehension leveler that Azief had met)

And Xu Cong had been living a peaceful life inside Pandemonium, tending his wife who have no power at all. If not for the medicine that Sina supplied them, even a normal monster in the range of level ten could kill his wife.

At first, he respected his wife decisions not to regain back her power. But as the world is getting more dangerous, Xu Cong had began trying to find a cure for the thing that afflicted his wife

What has been inflicted on her is not something that could be fixed by drinking some concoction or eating some pills.

Whatever she did during that battle it curses her. It is a kind of magic that could not be heal by pills or potions.

Sina had been talking about creating something that could made his wife regains back her power but even Sina did not dare makes any guarantee.

It is quite ironic of how things turned out. Loki is the one that inflicted this curse to her and Sina is the one healing them.

Even though there is nothing officials everyone knew that Sina and Loki had that kind of relationship.

Whether they are lovers or just casual fling, no one could know for sure.

Xu Cong then nodded as he leaves them both alone. There is silence in the clearing right now. Every once in a while the sound of night birds could be heard around the residence. Since it is near a forest, these kind of sound is not surprising.

If not for the circumstances the sound would probably lull you to sleep. Azief look up and saw the moon. It is midnight. There is Will and Sofia.

'Is she sleeping?' he thought to himself and a bitter smile etched on his face when he thought she would be mad if he came at night when she is sleeping.

But he also wonders, if she would be mad if he did not come?

Azief is looking at the moon and Lihua is looking at him. She did not know what Death Monarch wanted to talk to her about. But she could guess some of it.

And because she guessed it, she is hard at work trying to think of an answer.

She had lived a peaceful life because of Loki.

She loses her powers and her abilities but that is something Loki had always told her about. He did not lie to her. He had told her from the get go, that everything has a price.

And her price for peace is her abilities. And that has been fulfilled.

And she is grateful for that.

There is no longer any need for her to fight and kill. And there is no need for them to fear being hunted by other people. People said that the tallest thing in the world is Death Monarch Azief.

And because he is tall, his shadows covered the world.

It causes all the other heroes and heroines of the world to be overshadowed, not being able to show their brightness to the world.

But under that shadow, there are many people like her who benefited being under that shadow.

She is grateful to Loki and Death Monarch Azief. These two brother wreak havoc wherever they go.

They may not share the same blood, but Lihua knows how Loki cares about Death Monarch. And while she knew that Loki cares about Death Monarch, she didn't know how much care Death Monarch have for Loki.

But now, with the return of Death Monarch, and his mysterious appearance over here and there all pointed towards another conflict in the making.

It was like Death Monarch is in a rush. Other people might not be able to see the chaos in Pandemonium tonight but those living in Pandemonium, those officials, those Three Generals, the one hiding in the shadows all could feel uneasiness that is spreading.

The people of Pandemonium probably spend their days happily tonight, thinking that their protector has returned

But to those who track Death Monarch movement tonight, it all pointed toward Death Monarch is about to make a move. Whatever that move was, it sure would raises hell.

Because that is what happens when one is too tall and too large. A simple step could trample hundreds of ants.

Will had been staying in their residence for a few days now since he brought back the news to the Central government that Death Monarch is about to return.

And today, when he returns, Loki had left, probably in that undetectable ship of bones. Then Death Monarch went to Sina.

Now, he had come here asking question.

It is ironic that the Immortal Couple honored by Death Monarch is one of the few people that actually rarely met with Death Monarch.
