" You're back?!! " the face called out in shock, as it stared at Jayden.

" Yes, thank you for allowing me to enter, and I've also killed the demon inside. " Jayden spoke in a grateful tone.

The old eyes on the face widened, and it took a few moments for it to get its composure back, with a forceful smile it spoke: " You did great, but how did you manage to kill the beast inside and did you find anything inside? "

" It was easy to kill, and yes I did find these bracelets inside. " Jayden said showing the two black bracelets.

Greed appeared in the eyes of the face, he have entered that space to obtain the treasure hidden there, and that was the only way for him to survive in his weakened state. But the place was so strange that he couldn't find anything and after a long time he died, leaving his pet inside.

To keep its pet alive and make it stronger, the face began to provide it with nourishment in the form of blood and inner energy. It had fooled many beasts and humans, and although it didn't know what the treasure was, the feeling they were giving was enough for the face to become mad in greed.

" Can I see them? Pass over them to me, and I'll help you understand their working. " the face spoke in a righteous tone.

" I would have loved to give them to you, but I can't take them off, you can try if you want to. " Jayden raised both his arms towards the face.

Suppressing its happiness, the face flew towards Jayden, as it left its safe boundary and entered Jayden's attack range.

" Caught you. " he grinned and immediately used the Demonic Devouring Arts, as he sucked the face towards him. Then Jayden used his Void skill to absorb all the memories it possessed.

" You- You... What do you think you're doing? If you kill me you'll be stuck here forever. Nooooooo stop- " The face tried to resist with all its might, but was no match for Jayden.

" You've lived long enough, it's time for you to rest now.  " as he spoke, Jayden absorbed all the memories from the face.

Xiao Rong observed all this in surprise, she didn't interrupt him and finally understood why she was getting a bad feeling from the face since the beginning.

" Array formations and talisman, this guy was quite a genius in both the area in his primes. " Jayden said as he went through his newly acquired memories.

" Let's go, we're done here. " Jayden spoke to Xiao.

Then both of them began to walk towards the entrance of the cave, as they walked, Jayden looked at the pendant around her neck and thought: ' I can't let Jia find us yet, there are still a few things I need to finish. '

08:52

" You should keep that pendant in your ring for now, since it might attract unnecessary attention. " Jayden said to her.

Xiao didn't think too much about it and simply put the pendant in her storage ring, soon they saw the entrance of the cave, and they easily passed through it and entered the tree. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

...

After walking for some time, they reached the exit and saw that Mo Peng was already awake and sitting there in the corner with a frightened expression sand a pale face. As soon as he saw both of them walking out, he stood and walked towards them.

" How long have we been inside? " Jayden asked.

" Seven days. " Peng answered.

" Let's leave this tree, we need to find another place to sleep. " Jayden said and all three of them jumped off the tree.

Looking at the sky which was slowly turned dark, Jayden observed his surroundings and soon found an empty cave nearby. He looked towards Xiao and spoke:

" There is a cave in that direction, let's rest there for tonight. "

" Mm," she nodded and began to follow him.

Peng couldn't understand why he was acting like a leader and even more why she was following his every word. He glared at Jayden in disdain and spoke:

" Let's stay next to this tree, I haven't seen a beast here in the last seven days. I think it is the best- " Before he finished speaking, he saw that both of them had travelled some distance already.

After stomping his foot on the ground, he followed behind them reluctantly. Jayden have gotten slightly used to the heavy bracelets, at least he was able to move a little more freely now. Still, his physical strength had been decreased by them by more than 80 percent.

Though he could also sense their benefits, the rate at which his body was absorbing energy had increased and his inner energy was becoming more pure.

As they headed towards the cave, their speed was slowed down as they encountered grass that was reaching up to their waists. Xiao scanned the area and spoke:

" There are various snake beasts hiding in this grass, I don't think it would be a good idea to pass through them. "

" Don't worry, I can carry you across, what do you think? " Jayden said winking.

" I can go myself. " Xiao spoke and rushed into the bushes.

Jayden followed behind her, while Peng couldn't bring himself to pass the grasses, as he watched them walk away. He tried calling to them but they both ignored him and walked deeper into the grass.

After walking for a few seconds, Xiao looked at Jayden and asked: " How does it feel to be in love? "

" Hmmm, it's a little complex but to put it simply, when you fall in love with someone you would want to spend all your time with him / her, a single word from that person could change your mood, you would care for that person unconditionally. " Jayden explained.

Xiao pondered his words and wondered if she feel like that towards Wang Jin, then she asked:

" Is it possible to forget about the person you love and move on? "

" Yes, it's possible, as you may have heard time heals all wounds, although you could never forget the one you deeply loved, but you could always start anew," he replied.

" Ahhhh "

She wanted to ask more, to understand her own feelings, but a scream escaped from her lips as she felt pain in her leg. She looked down and saw that a snake had bitten her calf area.

Even Jayden hadn't noticed when the snake got so close to her, he instantly kicked the head of the snake and killed it with a single strike.

' Talisman, that's why I failed to notice it. ' he saw a paper talisman present on its body, it was definitely a talisman the face from the red tree must had created.

Within seconds, Xiao Rong's face began to turn pale and her body weakened. She fell onto Jayden's body, her eyes half closed, in a dream like state she stared at Jayden's face.

Without saying anything, Jayden took her in a princess carry style and teleported near the cave. After entering, he took out a mattress from his ring and put Xiao on it.

" Can you hear me, Don't fall asleep, you hear? Don't sleep. " He said, and began to open her robe.
