Upon hearing that, Alastair quickly pocketed the spirit coins and responded with a smile, “Not a problem at all. | know this area like the back of my hand. Lettake the lead. | assure you it’s on the house!” After bidding farewell to Alastair, Jared returned to Lunarius Palace! By the tit was late into the night, Jared had initially planned to retire to his room for srest. However, he hadn’t expected that Nieva of Lunarius Palace was already waiting for him! Nieva turned to Jared and asked, “Mr. Chance, you've cback so late. Was there something going on? If you're looking to fulfill a need, I've already told you, you can choose any disciple from my Lunarius Palace.

Given the perilous nature of the polar region expedition, it was essential to make thorough preparations in advance.” “How did your endeavor turn out?” asked Nieva.
“Not bad. The stuff | bought should cin handy on the road.” “I won't disturb your rest any longer, but remember, when things get dangerous, you must ensure your own safety and escape. You don’t have to concern yourself with those saintly women. I'll also try to get them to cooperate with you as much as possible. The holy maidens can be quite arrogant at times, so their words might coff as unpleasant. Mr. Chance, | hope you won't take it to heart.” “I understand. | won't hold grudges!” Jared smiled.
“That's good!” Nieva had left! Jared returned to his room, where he took out the black tortoiseshell, intricately etched with array runes! Etching array runes in such a small space was the most draining task, both physically and mentally! After a full night, Jared finally finished etching over a dozen black tortoiseshells.
With the addition of the array runes etched by Jared on the black tortoiseshells, it was capable of warding off attacks from those who were at Eighth Level Tribulator cultivation level or higher! For those holy maidens at Sixth Level Tribulator, it was enough for self-defense! After stowing away the black tortoiseshell, Jared let out a deep sigh. Then, he got up to find Nieva! He intended for Nieva to escort him to the place where the holy maidens were training so he could gift them those black tortoiseshells! At that time, Nieva was seated in a courtyard, constantly enveloped by the surrounding chill.

She felt that Lunarius Palace was filled with only female disciples, so Nieva simply began her cultivation right there in the courtyard! When Jared arrived at the palace courtyard, he was instantly stunned at the sight of Nieva dressed in thin clothing! He hadn't expected that Nieva would dress like that during training! At that moment, Jared was at a loss for what to do! Should | leave, or should | stay here? Even though he tried his best to avoid eye contact, his eyes seemed to have a mind of their own, always stealing glances when he least expected it! Nieva also noticed someone was spying on her.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and a cold light shot out effortlessly! Upon seeing the situation, Jared swiftly dodged, narrowly avoiding being hit! “Mr. Chance...” Upon seeing Jared, Nieva was taken aback! Jared's face was flushed with embarrassment. He couldn't bear to look directly at Nieva. Hurriedly, he said, “I was hoping that you could taketo the place where the holy maidens train.” “All right!” Nieva nodded, then returned to her room to change her clothes! After Nieva had changed her clothes, she noticed that Jared's face was flushed red, as if she was running a fever! Observing Jared's demeanor, Nieva couldn't help but cover her mouth in amusement. Of course, she understood why Jared was behaving in such a way! “Mr. Chance, you saved my life and, in truth, | should grant any request you make. Regrettably, | am currently entrusted with the mission of Lunarius Palace and cannot engage in a dual cultivation with you. Once | have passed on my position to the next holy maiden, | will be at your disposal.” Nieva spoke lightly to Jared.
“You misunderstood. | wasn’t thinking about that. Let’s hurry up and go.” Blushing, Jared hurriedly made his way toward the hill behind Lunarius Palace!
