Reborn as a Transcendent-Chapter 728Book 3: : Only by Offering Myself Can I Repay You
At the same time, in the overseas region of Canada. An elderly man of about sixty, his frame thin and small, with a tuft of white beard on his chin, stood in the courtyard of his home, slowly slicing a watermelon.
No, on closer look, it was not slicing, it was a stance of Tai Chi for health and vitality. He moved extremely slowly, his gestures so fluid that he seemed to merge with the surrounding space itself, exuding a mysterious and profound power.
“Big Boss! Something terrible has happened!” A burly man in a black suit suddenly burst into the courtyard, his face pale with panic as he shouted.
The white-robed elder halted his movement, straightened his posture, and looked toward the man. His tone was calm yet disapproving. “Such commotion. What kind of behavior is this?”
“My apologies, Big Boss! But this matter is truly dire!” The suited man bent forward respectfully, his head lowered in fear.
“Speak,” the elder said leisurely. Having been active in the martial world for forty-five years, he had weathered countless storms. By now, few things could truly shake his composure.
After all, when the heavens collapsed, no one could escape. What could possibly be more serious than that?
“The boss, he’s been crippled! His bones shattered, unconscious, barely clinging to life!” The man’s voice trembled as he spoke, his face filled with dread.
The white-robed elder froze for an instant, then his eyes flew wide open as he drew in a sharp breath and roared furiously, “Who did this!?” The thunderous shout exploded like a storm, unleashing a fierce wave of pressure that swept through the courtyard, scattering flowers, grass, and even furniture into the air.
The suited man stumbled back several steps, his ears ringing, his head throbbing with pain. ‘So this is the aura of an Advanced Grandmaster… terrifying!’
After venting his anger, the elder’s expression quickly regained its former calm. What truly went through his mind, only the heavens knew.
“It—it was Yae-hime.” The man finally steadied himself and spoke with difficulty.
“Yae-hime?” The elder searched his memory but found no trace of the name. Clearly, this was a newly-emerged figure.
“Big Bss, here’s what happened…” Knowing the elder had long withdrawn from worldly affairs, the man hurriedly recounted in detail the battle between Lucky and Princess on Baiding Island.
“Eighteen years old… strength equal to an Advanced Grandmaster? Are you joking?” The elder narrowed his eyes, his tone chillingly cold. He had seen prodigies before, but someone who could cripple Lucky Hong the moment they appeared? That defied reason.
He knew that before Lucky had even broken through to the Intermediate level, he had already accumulated over a decade of experience. And on top of that, the elder himself had passed down a forbidden technique to him, one that temporarily elevated his strength to rival that of an Advanced Grandmaster!
“No, Big Boss, it’s true! Look for yourself!” The suited man hurriedly pulled out his phone and played the recorded footage of the Baiding Island duel.
Three minutes later— Shock spread across the white-robed elder’s face. His voice was low but filled with murderous resolve. “This child… so terrifying. She must not be allowed to live.”
From the short video alone, he felt an immense pressure, a chilling sense of danger. ‘Cathay already has one Lisa. If another Yae-hime appears, what then?!’
In that instant, a murderous intent surged violently from within the elder. His overwhelming aura bore down on the suited man, nearly forcing him to his knees.
Meanwhile, in the United States, at the Dorado Branch of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mira stared blankly at the data displayed on her phone. “The holder of the third Artifact… confirmed already? That fast?”
It had taken considerable time to verify the first Artifact’s owner. And now, while the second remained unidentified, the third had already been confirmed so easily? It was hard to believe.
Mira even suspected it to be false intelligence. However, the source of that intel was Maria. And Maria’s information was never wrong.
“Whatever. The Linhnan server already has that black-hearted princess, it’s absurd enough as it is.” Mira shook her head slowly and typed a reply to Maria. The message was simple: Find them and eliminate them.
That night, while Cathay’s Linhnan region appeared calm on the surface, dark currents were already surging beneath, danger coiled and waiting to strike.
The next morning, Yae-hime slowly opened her bright eyes, rose from the bed, and changed out of her pajamas. Then she went to the living room to have breakfast together with her adorable little companions.
“Master, please have some tea.”
“Master, do you need a massage?”
The moment she sat down, Vera 1 and Vera 3 eagerly stepped forward, vying to please her.
“Mm.” Yae-hime nodded, her mood quite content. “These next three days, I’ll be treating you all to feasts every day.”
At those words, the six little ones’ eyes lit up, and they cheered in unison, shouting praises to their master.
After breakfast, Yae-hime returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and logged into the game. A new day had officially begun.
A beautiful figure flickered into view in the guest room of the village chief’s house.
“Next, it’s time to synthesize some potions.” After the battle at the Mangrove Forest, her whereabouts had already been exposed. Trying to sneak into Jade City again would only be more difficult and dangerous.
The final treatment for Allie would have to be delayed a few more days.
After chatting idly with everyone in the living room for a while, she officially began brewing some potions.
While things grew busy on her side, Jade City had already been bustling throughout the night. Players were scouring both inside and outside the city in search of S.K.Y., their eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.
As for Yae-hime, no one dared to provoke her now. Even the combined forces of the Death of Love and Death of Flower guilds had been annihilated by her in a counterattack, none of them were foolish enough to go courting death.
Unlike that black-hearted Princess, S.K.Y.’s own strength was mediocre. Yet, armed with an Artifact, he was like a child carrying a golden piglet down the street. Anyone who didn’t try to rob him would be an idiot!
The man was blameless, yet possessing treasure was its own sin. He could only blame himself for being too weak. That was what many players thought.
At present, only Taurus knew that S.K.Y. had undergone a complete transformation, his strength now terrifying beyond measure. But he had no reason to tell the others.
Outside the city walls, no one noticed a small figure darting swiftly along the ramparts before vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Inside the city, atop the Sage Tower of the Imperial Magic Academy, Allie had just finished washing up. She stretched comfortably, feeling utterly refreshed and brimming with joy.
“One more treatment, and I’ll be able to recover my full strength! I might even break through to a higher level!” To her, being free from the long-standing pain in her body was already a blessing beyond measure. If she could regain, and even surpass, her previous power, that would be double the happiness.
“I really don’t know how to thank Princess. When I think about it… I have nothing to offer her. Maybe I should just offer myself instead.” As she muttered that, a faint blush crept across her face. But that was all.
Ever since Yae-hime had broken through her final barrier, Allie had found herself secretly looking forward to such things more and more.
“Hm~hm~hm~” Humming a lighthearted tune, she imagined delightful scenes in her head as she rose from bed, slipping a white robe over her nearly bare body.
Just then, the stone door suddenly slid open on its own, and a figure dashed inside. Allie’s instincts kicked in at once, lightning flared in her palm.
“It’s me!” The intruder froze mid-step and called out hastily, her voice carrying a hint of youthful softness.
Recognizing that familiar voice, Allie quickly restrained her power and spoke with mild annoyance. “You little thing, always so mischievous.”
The small figure not far away removed her mask, revealing a delicate face. It was Lili. At that moment, a rare expression of anxiety filled her features. “Allie —she’s in trouble!”
