"It’s great to be young," Renshu Chang said with a heartfelt smile, after that, he turned around and walked away.
However, the conversation beneath the setting sun wasn’t as pleasant as Renshu Chang had imagined.
"My love, we haven’t seen each other for a month. Aren’t you going to make some gesture?"
"Why did you suddenly change my title again?" In the past, it was a baby, honey, wife, fiancée, and so on.
Amalia hadn’t heard any new terms for a long time.
"Let’s try something new." Kenny Lin almost draped himself over her.
Amalia didn’t push him away and said calmly, "There are people nearby. If they see us, it might not look good. Others might think I’m only receiving your favor because I’m selling my body."
Kenny Lin’s expression turned peculiar as his gaze swept over her like a laser, "So when do you plan to sell your body to me?"
Amalia shot him a sidelong glance.
"I never sell myself."
"Well, if I sell my body to you, that’s fine too. There has to be a source for the rumors, right? We can make it seem true first and then later come out and admit it."
After Kenny Lin finished speaking, he saw Amalia looking at him with an expression of deep concern.
"Don’t tell anyone you know me when you go out. Have some dignity."
Kenny Lin looked at her in surprise, "After being with me for so long, do you still have any shame?"
Amalia gave him a slap.
After arriving at the Nameless Peak, Amalia went to find Senior Tian Wuya to explain the situation regarding the trials and the Double Cavern Secret Realm.
Senior Tian Wuya showed no surprise at her obtaining the reward for cracking the illusion formation as if it was only natural for her disciple to receive such an honor.
Although she didn’t display the same proud expression as Kenny Lin, her look of indifference was equally predictable.
"You’ve just broken through. It’s good to go through some practical experience. The untouched secret realm has many resources, so it’s fine to collect as much as you can. However, you have other tasks this time."
Amalia showed a hint of surprise, "What tasks?"
Since Sect Leader Qing hadn’t mentioned this before, the task must be one that Senior Tian Wuya assigned personally.
"Some geniuses from the devil city will also enter the secret realm. Kill them as many as you can."
Amalia looked up at Senior Tian Wuya, who stood with her hands behind her back, her expression looked cold and authoritative.
Before she could ask further, Senior Tian Wuya continued, explaining that in secret realms that were discovered jointly by devils and human cultivators, both sides often focused on eliminating each other’s geniuses.
However, this was for secret realms that had already been opened, where resources had already been plundered, so the main goal was to kill the other side’s geniuses.
"I understand, Master," Amalia said with a slight nod.
Although devils and humans seem to have an agreement that neither side will cross the line, in practice, both sides remain in a state of relentless conflict.
They use secret realms to kill the future backbone of the other side, cutting off their inheritance.
This is something both human cultivators and devils would do without hesitation.
It’s not just the human cultivators who will act this way; the devils will do the same.
In the past, not only untouched secret realms were dangerous, but even those secret realms that had been explored were often more perilous because, when resources were scarce, the focus shifted to killing.
"Humans don’t seek out devils, but devils will come looking for humans," Senior Tian Wuya added.
Amalia guessed, "Is it because of the secret realm’s treasures?"
Senior Tian Wuya nodded in approval, "Exactly. The devil battlefield is actually the Eastern Continent. The Eastern Continent has secret realms with immortal caves, some of which are restricted to human cultivators. When devils can’t access these secret realms, they will resort to mass slaughter, hunting down human cultivators who have entered these immortal caves to seize the resources they obtained."
"I’ve heard that this time’s secret realm is more likely to be a natural one."
"Then it’s even more crucial to kill them. How can we allow these devils to benefit from the treasures of the Mystic Void Continent without paying the price?"
Senior Tian Wuya’s voice was calm, but it carried a chilling murderous intent.
Amalia vaguely sensed that there might be some personal grievances between her master and the devils.
She remembered that when she first arrived, Master Lian had mentioned something similar.
"I will obey the master’s orders."
Senior Tian Wuya nodded her head and then turned his gaze to Kenny Lin, suddenly asking, "My disciple is already at the early stage of Golden Core. Why are you still at the mid-stage?"
Kenny Lin remained unperturbed, while Amalia was left speechless.
Was the term "still" really appropriate?
Before her seclusion, Kenny Lin had only just broken through to the early stage a month ago.
Achieving the mid-stage of Golden Core within a little over a month was already quite impressive.
"I’m afraid if breaking through too quickly, I wouldn’t be able to enter the secret realm," Kenny Lin said with a smirk.
When it came to shamelessness, he would never lose to anyone.
"You’re quite arrogant," Senior Tian Wuya laughed.
She understood her disciple’s thoughts.
This kind of personality might be irritating to some people, but Senior Tian Wuya actually liked this sort of arrogance, as long as it didn’t lead to losing oneself.
She had her own standards of gains and losses, right and wrong.
Unfortunately, if Kenny Lin wasn’t a sword cultivator, she would have taken him on as a disciple.
She wouldn’t mind making an exception to take on another disciple.
Amalia, who had been worried that Senior Tian Wuya didn’t like Kenny Lin, suddenly realized she might have been mistaken when she saw her looking pleased.
