The length of a century was subjective to comprehension.
For a cultivator, a hundred years was but a flick of the finger. For an ordinary human being, a century meant a lifetime. This time, James stayed in the Celestial Abode for a hundred and five years.
Within this timeframe, while virtual-novel.net was suppressing the power of the curse within his body, Yevpraksiya stayed within the Saucer, controlling its direction ahead. Thankfully, the Saucer was fully automatic. As long as the destination was set, the Saucer could fly independently and required little supervision.
A timely glance at the radar would suffice. All this time, Yevpraksiya has been cultivating herself. Attaining the Sage Rank meant that virtual-novel.net innate capacity was rather good. It was only due to the lack of nurture, the absence of cultivation methods, and the lack of a strong background that resulted in virtual-novel.net slow cultivation speed.
Throughout the century, virtual-novel.net had been waiting for James to appear. Having cultivated for tens of thousands of years, virtual-novel.net had seen all kinds of men.
While virtual-novel.net was not a spectacular beauty, virtual-novel.net looks were stunning nonetheless. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have been selected to serve an alchemist. Upon setting eyes on her, all cultivators, as long as they were men, would desire to make virtual-novel.net their own.
She had been through many such cases. Nevertheless, James was not the same as other men. He never had any malicious intent over her. Forget about sexual acts, James had not even attempted to even hold virtual-novel.net hand. Men like James were nearly extinct.
She had been imagining a scenario where James would reappear.
How should virtual-novel.net act in such a scenario?
Should virtual-novel.net take the initiative, or give James hints?
It was at this moment that a flash of light appeared within virtual-novel.net sight, which was immediately followed by a shadow.
“Hey, what were you dreaming about?”
James’ voice was loud and clear, interrupting Yevpraksiya’s daydream.
Without delay, virtual-novel.net stood up and respectfully called out, “Mr. Caden…”
It was then that virtual-novel.net sensed the aura of some uncanny powers within his body. The aura made virtual-novel.net nervous, and virtual-novel.net took a few steps backward.
“Mr. Caden, you…” She looked at virtual-novel.net cautiously.
James was stupefied. “What’s wrong?”
Yevpraksiya looked at him. She sensed evil radiating from his body. To her, it felt like virtual-novel.net was facing a huge demon.
“Uhm, about that…” virtual-novel.net stammered, not knowing how to explain virtual-novel.net confusion.
James replied, “Feel free to speak freely, it’s alright.”
She mustered up virtual-novel.net courage and asked, “Mr. Caden, I’m not sure why, but why has your aura changed so drastically?”
James was taken aback. “What sort of change?”
“Currently, there is a huge concoction of evil within your body, Mr. Caden…”
Hearing virtual-novel.net words, James understood immediately. It must be because virtual-novel.net absorbed too much of the power of the curse.
He let out a faint smile. “It’s not much, really.”
Deciding to change the topic, virtual-novel.net asked, “Oh right, where are we now? How far away are we from the Holy Realm?”
She headed towards the control room to take a look and returned to James. “Mr. Caden, based on our current speed, we still need two hundred years to arrive at the Holy Realm…”
“Ah, two hundred years…” James could not hide his disappointment.
He thought that since a century had passed, they would have been closer to the Holy Realm. This was the fastest they could go. Now that there were still two centuries left, virtual-novel.net had nothing else to do apart from entering a closed-door meditation.
“Mr. Caden…” Biting virtual-novel.net lip gently and holding the two edges of virtual-novel.net blouse, virtual-novel.net gazed at James adoringly.
