Ye Shishi’s heart was currently in turmoil.

She had heard the name [ The Immortal ] yesterday when they were talking with Sun Yueli. And from Sun Yueli’s expression at that time when Allen told him he didn’t like that name, anyone would realize something.

If what he said was true then maybe she would face not so little danger, however, for some reason, she was fine with it. She doesn’t understand why but as long as she could stay with Allen, everything would be fine.

Was she bewitched…?

She just met him then why would she feel that way towards him?

She wasn’t the type who will fall in love at first sight or a heart-over-mind type person. She always thinks things reasonably.

But why will she feel like this? As if she will accept whatever happened to her as long as she was with him.

This is ridiculous! Things are moving too fast!

“I want to follow you. Please let me follow you!”

Allen frowned as he looked at Ye Shishi’s expression.

Wait a minute, what is this reaction?

Surely it was a good thing? Why were her ears turning a little bit red?

Even her cheeks were flushed. Looking at it, even a fool would notice something.

No way, that can’t be… right?

Did I have a Charm skill or something? Was it activated all this time…?

Shaking this thought away, Allen pretended as if he didn’t notice anything.

Rummaging his inner pockets, he fished out two silver crystals.

These two crystals were what he accidentally found while he was traveling. One was found not too far from Alkrasha’s domain and while the other was on a big lake with a huge 13 – 14 meters long black scaled snake.

As the [ Monster King ], Allen was now very sensitive in regards to Mana.

As long as he was not too far from things that released a huge amount of mana such as silver crystals, he would be able to feel it.

Just like monsters who can feel the mana in the air with their skins as if it was natural, Allen could instinctively feel it too.

The range of perception was around 10 meters or so away from him.

Ye Shishi’s eyes widened as soon as she saw the silver crystals in front of her. Although she hasn't seen it before, she still had heard about them.

These are silver crystals!

Allen actually has two of them?! This is really unbelievable!

“A thousand-li journey is started by taking the first step.” Allen smiled faintly as he placed the two silver crystals on the table. “Then these crystals will be your first step…”

“Y, you will give them to me?!” Ye Shishi couldn’t believe what’s happening. 

Although she did say that she wanted to become a Superhuman but she had never thought that Allen would give her two Silver Crystals immediately and without hesitation.

This is silver crystals, you know! Just how many people are wishing to have even one of this?!

Allen noticed Ye Shishi’s fervent gaze as she stared at the two crystals, “This is S-crystal and I-crystal. [ Traversing Cloud Step ] and [ Golden Needles ].”

Ye Shishi asked somewhat interestedly, “[ Traversing Cloud Step ]?”

Allen wiped his mouth and answered, “Silver Crystals doesn’t just give any kind of skills. Most of them were always related to the countries’ stories and myths where it was found.”

“Just like this [ Traversing Cloud Step ]. This skill isn’t any kind of western-type psychic or supernatural skills. This is a cultivation skill,”

“A cultivation skill?”

Allen nodded as he continued his explanation, “Hm, most skills found in the mainland are cultivation skills while only the minorities are those that aren’t.”

[ Traversing Cloud Step ] is a movement skill that could be akin to the wind. It was fast and light, and sometimes rough like a gale.

“… if you increased the level of this skill, you would be able to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees.

Ye Shishi’s eyes shone. The sparkle in her eyes was different from the usual admiration. She was obviously excited.

Allen then taps the other crystal, “This one carried an item called [ Golden Needles ]. It’s an artifact in the Rare category. It had ten needles inside it.”

Ye Shishi accepted the two silver crystals without any pretense. She was the one who begs him and if she still showed any kind of embarrassment, it would look too fake and make everything awkward.

Activating the silver crystals, Ye Shishi was then enveloped by a light.

Allen didn’t care about it and continued sipping the soup.

“Then I will leave my daughter in your hands, Mister Ye…”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

Walking through the door was a woman garbed in green, silently looking at Allen with a smile.

The age of this woman was somewhat hard to determine; she looked to be in her early twenties, whilst also seeming like she was in her thirties.

Her features were slightly beautiful but because of the matureness she radiated, she was not inferior to that of Sun Yingyun in the least.

“Mom!”

Ye Shishi exclaimed with shining eyes.

She then runs towards the woman and hugged her.

“Look mom! I will now become a Superhuman!!”

“Yes.”

Ye Shishi spoke and the woman happily replied. She was happy for her daughter. She had always known that she wanted to be one for a long time now.

In fact, she also wanted it for her since; in this way, she would have the power to protect herself. Although it’s a bit dangerous, with those amazing supernatural abilities, she would certainly be able to protect herself well.

The woman laughed and embraced her back.

She didn’t hold onto her for long but tapped her back a few times before releasing her.

She touched her cheek like and said, “Come on, Mister Ye is still here~”

“Oh~”

Ye Shishi’s mom then returned her gaze to Allen and smiled.

“You must be, Mister Ye, I have heard so much about you…”

“… …”

Her expression was cheerful and her tone was sweet. But then she immediately noticed something odd.

Allen’s eyes were focused on her. His expression was as though he had seen a ghost.                  

“Mister Ye…?”

Ye Shishi’s mom’s call made Allen regains his senses back.

He then lifted his head, letting out a soundless sigh as he gazed towards the ceiling as if wanting to look through the skies, “Truly, fate is sometimes such a playful kid.”

Never did he expect that they would meet again here. It appeared lovers or enemies could truly not avoid meeting with one another.

Perhaps this type of chance encounter was meant to be.

Allen looked at Ye Shishi’s mom with a very nostalgic gaze.

Ye Yuesheng.

It seemed like we are really bound by a single thread…

“Is something wrong, Mister Ye?” Ye Shishi’s mom, Ye Yuesheng worriedly asked as she noticed Allen looking at her.

She seems to be uncomfortable with the way he looks at her yet for some reason she wasn’t the least bit disgusted.

“So she’s your daughter you’re always talking about, Yuesheng?”

“Hm?” Ye Yuesheng frowned.

“Mr. Ye, did you know my mother?” Ye Shishi looked at Allen doubtfully.

Did she tell him her mother’s name before?

Ye Shishi couldn’t remember at all.

Allen ignored the mother and daughter’s weird gaze as he stood up and quietly walked towards Ye Yuesheng.

After arriving in front of her, Allen opened his arms and embraced Ye Yuesheng under the mother and daughter’s widened eyes.

Ye Yuesheng, as well as her daughter, Ye Shishi's bodies, were instantly petrified.

“Good to see you again, Yuesheng…” Allen whispered in her ears.

In the previous life, Allen met Ye Yuesheng on a brothel located in the new China Capital; Xingzhou as a prostitute.

She was working in a brothel called [ House of Passion ].

While traveling around the globe, Allen found himself in Xingzhou. To relieve his stress, he went to a very famous brothel shop and there, he met Ye Yuesheng.

When her daughter died due to monster attack on their city, she was devastated. She wanted to die at that time but she was afraid to do so. With her life saved by her daughter, she couldn’t bring herself to end it with her own hands.

However, without a livelihood, she was forced to work in the brothel, selling her body.

Allen was one of her clients.

She was a gentle, strong and good-natured woman.

She became acquainted with Allen, spending time together whenever Allen went in [ House of Passion ] to play.

However, one time, when Allen was being pursued by some Superhumans chasing for his head, he was trapped and almost gotten killed.

He faced over twenty Superhumans at that time and some of them were; [ Barrier Master ], [ King Of Shadows ], [ Paladin ], [ Berserker of Madness ] and many strong Superhumans who made a trap for him.

In that fight, he was caught off-guard, lost several of his beasts and barely able to escape.

On his flight, he met Ye Yuesheng who helped him and brought him to her home. She nursed him to health, hides him from the public and treated him good.

However, skies have eyes and walls have ears. This action was learned by some people and was reported.

Ye Yuesheng’s house was raided.

Unfortunately, at that time, Allen was out in the forest, taking care of his beasts.

Left in the house, Ye Yuesheng was captured and interrogated.

… But she never told a word and was humiliated in public, lashed out and executed for helping a heretic… a devil.

When Allen heard about it, it was too late.

Ye Yuesheng died.

Enraged, Allen almost massacred a whole city, killing those who were responsible for her death.

Because of this event, Allen’s bounty increased to several Million and his reputation erupted in the whole country.

But even so, Allen’s guilt and shame filled his heart as he could do nothing but lament in Ye Yuesheng’s death.

He never loved her but he saw her as a true, real friend. However, just the same as before, those who treated him nicely all departed in this world, leaving him alone.

Ye Yuesheng was one of the people who truly cared for him yet when she needed him the most, he was not there.

Allen aggrieved of that fact.

His sin, yet she was the one who paid for it.

He doesn’t know how to face her but when she appeared in front of him all of a sudden, Allen couldn’t help but embraced her on instinct.

He wanted to say thanks all this time and apologize but all these words fell on his stomach and couldn’t get out.

“Um…. Mister Ye?” Ye Yuesheng extends her arm and pushed Allen’s chest away.

She doesn’t know what is happening right now.

Allen took his arms back and looked at Ye Yuesheng’s eyes directly.

With a faint smile, Allen said, “Don’t worry, I might be a bit suspicious right now but I won’t harm you. I owe you a huge debt and I will do anything to repay that.”

“?” Ye Yuesheng frowned and her eyes turned sharp. “… who are you Mister Ye? Why do you know me?”

Allen gripped her hand for a moment before letting go and then turned around.

He didn’t answer and only smiled. “My friend will be coming to take me back, at that time you will also come with me. Pack everything you need, this city isn’t safe.”

After saying that, Allen started walking towards his current room.

Seeing Ye Yuesheng here, Allen thought about the monster attacked that took her daughter’s life.

If it was true, then this city isn’t safe anymore!

Ye Yuesheng and Ye Shishi stared at Allen’s back, still not regaining their senses from shock.

Their expression was dyed in doubt.

Ye Shishi looked at her mother. “Mom, do you know Mr. Ye?”

Ye Yuesheng furrowed her brows as if she was recalling something. After a while, she shook her head, “No. this should be the first time I met him.”

“But mom, he seems to know you…  and not just mere acquaintances.”

“I don’t know…”

“Mom, don’t tell me, you’re committing adultery…?”

“Foolish girl!” Ye Yuesheng knocks Ye Shishi’s head. “Adultery or not, I’m still single. Besides I really don’t… know…?”

Ye Yuesheng paused for a moment. A certain image popped on her mind before disappearing. “Hmm, wait a moment, that can’t be….”

“Mom?” Ye Shishi cast a doubtful look at her mother. The intimate scene she saw a while ago appeared inside her mind.

What just happened?

Did Wushuang really know my mother? But mom wouldn’t lie to me…

I don’t know what’s going on here… should I ask him later?

Wait, no way… don’t tell me, is my mom is going to be my rival?!

What kind of soap opera is this?! Who wrote this script? Damn Director, do your job properly!

“Mom…” Ye Shishi clenched her fists. She doesn’t know what to think or feel at this moment.

Unbeknownst to the mess on her daughter’s head, Ye Yuesheng looked at the door of Ye Shishi’s (Currently Allen) room.

That can’t be… right…

But his face certainly is familiar…
