The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Chapter 200 A Mother's Advice

It had been nine days since Karsha and Xian left for Xian's hometown. Back at the Sunlight Sword Sect, June, Fairy Mei Lin, and Lady Yi Ran were left alone, as the Sect Master and elders had all gone to gather Tier 5 skill books.

Karsha's proposal was something they all wanted to benefit from. Although he only requested 100 Tier 5 skill books, the elders aimed to gather more, so the extra skill books would contribute to the sect's collection.

Karsha promised to give them a Tier 20 skill book if they brought him 100 Tier 5 skill books. Naturally, no one would turn down such an offer. However, unbeknownst to them, Karsha only needed 25 to 30 skill books to synthesize a Tier 20 skill. The rest were intended for his domain and the shadow guards.

From the shadow guards, he learned that they could now acquire skills like humans, and since possessing powerful skills grants strength, Karsha saw this as an opportunity to enhance himself, the shadow guards, and the Unknown Race. The elders were unknowingly completing a task he intended for himself.

So, with the elders gone, only June, Fairy Mei Lin, and Lady Yi Ran remained. Two days after Karsha left, June placed the final Core, and four days later, Lady Yi Ran successfully absorbed all its energy. She even managed to regain partial motor function, and for the first time in 15 years, she walked.

It was an emotional moment, especially for June. They left the mansion and had a small picnic just behind the golden mansion, where a small garden with lush green grass covered the ground. They spread a small bed and started to enjoy the fresh air. After a while, Lady Yi Ran began to speak.

"June, you know it was a foolish thing to cut your life force in half." Lady Yi Ran's expression was grave, though she tried her best to keep calm.

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I couldn't let a chance to save you slip away. As long as you're alive, I'm happy," June said, tearing up.

"Foolish girl, you have your whole life ahead of you—why would you waste it on someone like me? I've already lived for hundreds of years, and you've barely begun your journey.

But now, by giving away half of your life, do you expect me to live on while my daughter slowly fades away?" Lady Yi Ran's voice softened as she held back her own pain. June's sacrifice was both deeply loving and utterly reckless.

June hadn't lived even a fraction of her life span, yet now that half was gone, the remainder would slowly weaken, and soon the effects would start to show.

"Mom...!" June tried to speak, but her words dissolved into sobs. She couldn't hold back her tears.

"Come here," Lady Yi Ran pulled her into a tight embrace. "I know you did it for my sake, but to give half your life force to a stranger... it seems that handsome boy has not only taken half your life but your entire heart," Lady Yi Ran joked.

"Mom..." June buried her face in her mother's chest to hide her rosy cheeks through her sobs. Fairy Mei Lin watched them with a gentle smile. Having achieved a high affinity for the lightning element, she was now waiting for Karsha to return and help her absorb the Lightning Fruit.

"I suppose he isn't bad for you. Though he's only at the Grandmaster stage, his strength far surpasses that of most early-stage sages. He's terrifyingly powerful, so having him as yours is much better than those arrogant heirs," Lady Yi Ran said, touching the Princess Necklace around June's neck.

"You're not upset that I chose to be his woman?" June asked.

"Why would I be? He's a capable young man. Although he hasn't been entirely open about his past when I've asked, I don't believe he's a bad person. On the contrary, I think he's someone you can rely on—someone we all can rely on." June smiled at her mother's answer.

"But you should be ready to fight for his attention; a man like him is bound to attract all kinds of beauties. If you're going to be with him, then prepare to accept all the women he'll be bringing home. Hehe, you should even watch out, I might grab him any moment" Lady Yi Ran said with a smile. She then turned to Mei Lin.

"Even our little Mei Lin will be joining you soon," she said with a laugh that filled the garden.

"My lady, you're mistaken. Karsha and I don't share that kind of relationship," Fairy Mei Lin replied.

"Well, maybe you should. If the two of us team up, we can scare away the other women," June said, surprisingly inviting her friend to join her rather than feeling jealous.

"Stop being silly, June. You know our... my situation. If I became involved with him, I'd only bring him endless danger instead of love," Fairy Mei Lin said, her tone tinged with sadness.

Lady Yi Ran and June each took one of her hands and hugged her tightly.

"Mei Lin, when I took you away, your mother wished for you to have a life full of love and joy. I know you like that handsome brat, so if that's what makes you happy, then let your heart lead the way."

"You don't have to keep holding yourself back. You're a young, beautiful maiden, and choosing someone you love shouldn't be a burden. Even though he doesn't show it, I know he cares for you—he just doesn't want to seem needy, which is why he says he's only helping you for June's sake.

Nobody would use such powerful treasures on someone they didn't care for. So, if you like him, go for it and forget the consequences. When the time comes, we'll face them together." Fairy Mei Lin tried to hold back her tears, but by the time Lady Yi Ran finished speaking, she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"It's alright, Mei Lin. You've had a hard life; it's time for you to be happy." Fairy Mei Lin nodded, still crying, while June hugged her friend tightly, making sure she was right.

"Tsk, that brat really is lucky. For my two fairies to fall for him so easily... how high must his charm be?" Lady Yi Ran muttered, glancing at the two beauties, with looks that could topple empires, hugging one another. She shook her head and focused on circulating her energy to keep the venom at bay.

"But remember, don't remove your disguise when you're outside. It's fine to take it off when you're alone with him, but never reveal yourself in public." Lady Yi Ran cautioned, and Mei Lin nodded. Even with her disguise, her beauty far surpassed that of most women.

"And one last thing. Although you're both stunning, a day will come when even more beautiful fairies will join his harem. Although he's yours, too, the fear of feeling insignificant might set in. So, instead of merely pleasing him, don't neglect your cultivation. You're already this beautiful; if you continue on your path, your beauty will only grow."

The two obediently nodded.

"Also, be sure to please him well; you wouldn't want someone to swoop in and take him for themselves." The two fairies hid their faces, embarrassed. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about; it's a normal part of a relationship. Just don't spend all your time on that." At this point, the two fairies didn't know where to hide their faces.

"June, although your body is currently weak, you can still make progress in your cultivation. Use this time to comprehend your Wind and Light elements. That necklace contains enough light energy to help you advance a little.

Mei Lin, you also shouldn't slack off. You have a dual elemental affinity, two of the strongest elements, so your path will be more challenging. But if you never give up and continue to master the technique Karsha gave you, your future achievements will be unimaginable. Divine-grade techniques are so valuable that people would kill for them—don't waste that opportunity."

"Don't worry, Mom; we won't slack off," June and Mei Lin said in unison.

"Good, now off you go. Find some outer disciples to help you clean the Jade Mansion; you two will be living there from now on."

"Mom, that's your house; we can't take it!" Mei Lin quickly protested. June nodded in agreement.

"Stupid girls, don't you want your privacy? Do you think anyone wants to hear your cries at night? Just go and clean it; you'll be staying there now." Mei Lin and June's cheeks turned red, and they immediately ran off, leaving Lady Yi Ran bursting into laughter. "Tsk, that brat sure is lucky; even I feel the urge to catch and devour him!"

After June and Mei Lin left, they quickly organized some outer disciples to help them clean the Jade Mansion. True to its name, the mansion was made of jade stone. It wasn't too large, consisting of only five spacious bedrooms and a hall, making it the ideal place for all sorts of private activities.

Within three hours, the entire place was cleaned up. June assisted Mei Lin in packing her belongings, and within ten hours, they were finished. They returned to the Golden Mansion to spend the rest of the time with Lady Yi Ran and wait for Karsha and Xian to come back.
