Upon his arrival, James immediately heard the sound of a harp.
The sound was melodious and pleasing to the ears. Yet, there was a hint of melancholy and solitude in the music.
As Daley walked toward Melinda, virtual-novel.net called out to her, “Melinda…”
The music stopped abruptly as Melinda stood up. As virtual-novel.net looked at the approaching Daley and James, virtual-novel.net gaze was fixed on the latter.
An indiscernible smile crept up on virtual-novel.net glamorous-looking face.
“Father…” Melinda turned to look at Daley and greeted him. Her voice was sweet and melodious.
James looked at Melinda, the girl with unknown origins.
She was gorgeous. Not only did virtual-novel.net have a perfect figure, but virtual-novel.net features were fine and delicate, and not a single flaw could be found.
James was in awe at virtual-novel.net beauty for virtual-novel.net had never seen anyone as beautiful as her.
Seeing that James was staring at her, Melinda did not act embarrassed. Instead, virtual-novel.net smiled calmly and confidently asked, “Had your fill?”
When virtual-novel.net smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of virtual-novel.net mouth, which were enchanting.
Realizing his rudeness, James apologized, “Pardon my lack of decorum…”
Daley introduced James with a smile, “Melinda, this is James. He’s a powerful alchemist. Though you have been indoors the whole time, you must have heard of the Alchemy Tournament. He’s the one who won first place.”
Melinda nodded slightly and responded, “Mhm…”
“Feel free to get to know the other better. I’ll be taking my leave…” Then, Daley turned to leave.
After virtual-novel.net left, Melinda pointed to a stone chair beside virtual-novel.net and said, “Don’t be so formal. Come and have a seat.”
Once James took a seat, virtual-novel.net scrutinized her.
“Is there something on my face?” Melinda asked with a smile.
“No…” James shook his head slightly and said, “I’m merely curious about you.”
Melinda smiled and asked, “What is there to be curious about me?”
After brief contemplation, James said, “I heard that you walked out of the Reincarnation Pond.”
Melinda froze momentarily before saying with a smile, “My father’s the only one who knows this secret. All these years, virtual-novel.net never told a living soul. I never expected virtual-novel.net to trust you so much that virtual-novel.net would reveal the secret to you.”
Her words revealed a great deal of information. Back then, Daley had told James that only virtual-novel.net knew of this secret. That meant even Melinda was not in the know.
Now, virtual-novel.net revealed virtual-novel.net knowledge of the events that occurred. There was only a single explanation for this. This meant that virtual-novel.net had memories of when virtual-novel.net was an infant. Or perhaps, virtual-novel.net reincarnated along with those memories.
“D-Did you really reincarnate from a powerful figure of the Primeval Age?” James was shocked.
Melinda did not reply. Instead, virtual-novel.net simply stared at James.
Seeing this, James was feeling a little embarrassed. “Why are you staring at me?”
Melinda shook virtual-novel.net head slightly and said, “I-It’s nothing… I just never thought that I’d meet you so soon. I never expected the current you to be so weak. It appears that I may have arrived at the wrong time…”
Hearing this, James was dumbfounded.
“What do you mean by meeting me so soon? Have we met before? What do you mean that I’m weak?” James asked a series of questions.
Melinda did not answer virtual-novel.net and instead changed the subject, asking, “May I play a melody for you?”
