GDK 537: Can’t Help Myself
Throughout their walk towards the warehouse of War Demon Valley, Jasper’s dazzling eyes lingered on Han Shuo’s body. She asked Han Shuo with the utmost interest, “Mister Han Shuo, have you really come from outside of our Abyss realm?”
Han Shuo nodded with chagrin and helplessly replied, “You have asked that same question three times already. I am not of this realm. What more must I say to make you believe me?”
“I believe you!” Jasper said as she smiled and quickly continued, “I’m just curious. Hehe, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that there are other material planes out there. It’s truly remarkable to think that you have come from another plane!”
“Oh, right, have you been meditating during these past few days using the method I taught you?” Han Shuo was afraid that Jasper would ask the same question again, and so he tried to change the topic.
“Of course! I have been meditating this whole time. And yet, I have not been able to sense the presence of mental strength,” Jasper replied with knitted brows on her beautiful face, appearing rather vexed.
“It’s okay, this is not to be rushed. As long as you keep meditating, with the wind element in your body as the fundamental, you will definitely be able to sense it sooner or later,” Han Shuo consoled her. After thinking for a short while, from his space ring, he withdrew a delicate silver chain that had a green crystal the size of palm strung on it, and handed it to Jasper.
The green crystal was dug out from the staff of a wind magus that Han Shuo had previously murdered. The green crystal had the ability to store the wind element and amplify wind magic spells. An average magus who used the green crystal during their cultivation would be able to sense wind elemental energy quicker.
The chain made from mithril sparkled glorious and silver, complementing the glimmer and translucence of the green crystal that was emitting faint light. Even without all the advantages it had for a wind magus, it would still be a fine piece of jewelry.
In the same fashion that Hemanna and Sylph had reacted, when Han Shuo revealed the jewel, Jasper’s eyes sprung wide open and glowed as her gaze fixed onto the green crystal necklace. In a pleasantly surprised manner, she said, “What a beautiful necklace! Is this for me?”
The dozen or so War Demon Guards were no fools. Upon hearing Jasper’s words, they immediately realized Han Shuo’s identity. They dared not try to be brave and offend him. The leader of the group revealed a rather awkward smile and said, “So it turns out to be Mister Han Shuo. Miss Jasper, why have you come here with Mister Han Shuo? Is there anything we can help you with?”
“This is the authorization token my father issued. I brought Mister Han Shuo here to browse through the materials inside the depot. My father has commanded that Mister Han Shuo be allowed to take anything he desires from the depot. You people just have to stand guard outside the depot. Matters inside are none of your concern.” Jasper held up a piece of token and flipped it before the dozen or so people, then proceeding to escort Han Shuo into the depot.
When the War Demon Guards saw Jasper raise the token, their mannerisms became respectful and every muscle in their bodies froze. It was not until both Han Shuo and Jasper had left and entered the depot that the group leader let out a sigh of relief and said, “That is in fact an authorization token of the highest level from Lord Crosius. What’s the background of this Han Shuo? He has actually been permitted to take anything he wanted from the depot. Truly inconceivable,”
”Whatever. I reckon that Miss Jasper had most likely fallen for him. Perhaps Lord Crosius has the mind to marry Miss Jasper off to him and therefore handed the token to Miss Jasper. This fellow is really lucky. He managed to deflower both Hemanna and Sylph as soon as he arrived in War Demon Valley. And now he managed to take Miss Jasper. What a lucky guy…” another person said with ire.
“As a person who could defeat Lord Brakyah, there’s nothing unexpected for him to receive the best treatment from Lord Crosius. From the young lady’s words, it appears that even the monster, the chief of visiting advisors, was defeated by him. If his Lordship doesn’t provide some truly good stuff, how would he be able to make this mighty expert stay?
While the War Demon Guards gossiped behind Han Shuo and Jasper, the duo came to a small ravine. After that assault on Jasper, the atmosphere between Han Shuo and Jasper became much more intimate. Although neither of them said a word, when Jasper turned back to take a look at Han Shuo, her beautiful eyes would fade through different hues that would almost certainly provoke Han Shuo to repeat his crime.
“We have arrived!” Jasper said as her footsteps came to a halt, with her eyes gazing at the humongous metal door before her.
Han Shuo was about to open his mouth when suddenly, that soul attached to the skeletal staff stored inside his body sensed a very familiar aura coming from a chamber behind the door. Han Shuo’s heart jolted. He impatiently shouted, “Open the door! Quickly!”
