CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 247: FAMILIAR FACE

Huh? Zerra’s eyes flickered with bewilderment. Her mother hated Cassias? Why?

She stared at him, waiting for his next words. However, the surrounding people were his subordinates. Seeing their leader had appeared so resolute, they didn’t dare to question him further.

Meanwhile, Zerra was dying to know. It was like an itch she couldn’t scratch. She trotted to Cassias’ tall figure, kicking him to no avail. Unfortunately, she couldn’t ask him.

She could only make assumptions on her own. If Cassias and Nias fell out, it might be related to the fox matter.

How many years have passed since the last scene where they kidnapped so many fox cubs?

In the other dimension, it was as if she were in a state of soul. There was no feeling of hunger, tiredness or sleepiness. When the night came, while Cassias and others took a rest, she was the one staying awake.

The time passed excruciatingly slowly, but at other times, it also passed very quickly. Nearly a month had passed since then.

"My Lord, we have killed all the zombies nearby. There were more zombie beasts compared to human zombies this time." Cassias’ subordinate came to report.

The others also followed. There were a total of five spiritual beasts, and they all radiated pressure that came from high-ranking powers.

Cassias supported his chin, leaning lazily against the chair. He didn’t immediately respond to their words. His eyes flashed, and he took the pouch on the table.

Zerra climbed up. She found out that she could touch inanimate objects as long as they didn’t have souls. She glanced inside the storage pouch, and her eyes widened.

That’s quite a large sum of crystal cores! On top of that, the purity was also high because of the zombie beasts’ power.

She watched longingly as Cassias put the storage pouch into his inner space, subconsciously swallowing. Now, she felt a little hungry, missing how the crystal cores tasted!

No wonder he had so many crystal cores!

Then, they moved again. When they left, the City Lord found out that most of the zombies around his territory had been eradicated.

At this time, Zerra was staring in a daze as she watched a girl with similar looks to her. But... she was a mortal.

Slowly, Cassias approached her. The girl stared at him vigilantly. His steps faltered, and he abruptly stopped.

"Sorry, I got into the wrong house."

Seeing the frightened look on the girl’s face, he turned around and left.

She was no longer a fox cub he could carry anywhere. The low-level spiritual beasts’ survival was lower. They didn’t have high intelligence, and some would even kill their own offspring.

Even if one was a fox in their previous life, there was no guarantee they would be a fox again in the next life. Most of them would even leave their cubs after determining they could survive on their own.

For low-level beasts, the bond wasn’t as deep, but for humans... he understood.

The girl had a confused look on her face, as if wondering whether she had seen a ghost. Soon, she snapped back into reality. The man’s words registered in her brain.

Zerra fell silent upon witnessing this.

After Cassias left that city, she found out that the days weren’t boring anymore. She kept on following him. However, recently she found out that even if he was gone and she couldn’t catch up, the world would help her.

In the blink of an eye, she would arrive at his location.

Cassias had left, but she kept staring at the girl, full of confusion. There was no Nyra nearby...

Oh, wait.

She spotted a woman whose face was familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Her face was somewhat familiar, but the surrounding aura had changed.

It was Nyra.

This time, she was no longer a mortal.

In her gray robes, just like Cassias earlier, she slowly approached the girl, who had a bewildered look on her face.

There were indescribable emotions in her eyes.

"Miss, are you lost?" The girl asked, eyes full of innocence.

Nyra’s gray robes were full of dirt. The girl was a mortal, so she couldn’t detect the spiritual energy in Nyra’s body, only sensing the faint oppressive aura. However, Nyra was disguising herself as a mortal now.

"Yes." Nyra bit her lip, suppressing something. "Can I get a glass of water?"

She was making up reasons, but the girl smiled at her. She beamed. "Sure, please wait here."

With that, the girl ran toward her house. She lived in a city, a quiet yet resplendent courtyard. It was clear that her parents were wealthy.

Judging from the innocent and unguarded look when she saw someone approaching from her front courtyard... she was a girl who lived a sheltered life.

Soon, the girl came out again with a satisfied smile, as if she had just accomplished something.

"Miss..." the servants hurriedly followed after her and took the glass from their little miss, earning an unwilling look from her.

"Let us do this, Miss. I am sorry we arrived late. Master told us to fetch some items for you earlier." They deeply apologized with frightened looks on their faces. As such, they didn’t regard Nyra kindly.

They were just gone for a few minutes, and someone broke into their miss’ place. Luckily, she wasn’t harmed. In contrast with the servants’ vigilance, even the girl appeared more carefree, ordering the servants to take out their snacks.

"I couldn’t find it in the kitchen earlier." She scratched her head sheepishly. It was clear she also had never stepped into the kitchen. That was why she didn’t know.

Looking at the girl’s carefree smile as she chatted with her servants kindly, Nyra fell silent. Maybe she shouldn’t have approached her...

"Here, I hope you don’t mind, Miss." A servant came to her, handing the glass of water.

Nyra took it, glancing at the girl, who sent her an ashamed look. The girl had realized some of the water had splashed on the outer layer of the glass because she had filled it too much.

"Sorry."

"It’s alright." A smile bloomed on Nyra’s usually cold face. "It’s refreshing."

"Eh, sister. Why are you crying?" The girl sent Nyra a concerned look.
