The people living there were all wearing the traditional costumes of the Muraco Clan.
The villagers were alert when they saw a stranger like Zeke. Some even looked hostile.
Thankfully, he had the Holy Maiden by his side. Therefore, no one dared to do anything rash.
On the way there, Zeke had encountered countless poisonous worm traps, but he had managed to overcome each
and every one of them with ease.
Since Zeke had been trained personally by the elders of the Muraco clan, the poisonous worm traps were nothing
more than a walk in the park for him.
The Holy Maiden was quite surprised and asked, “By the look of it, you seem to be well versed where poisonous
worms are concerned. Have you studied them before?”
“Yes,” answered Zeke in a casual tone.
There was suddenly a hint of anticipation in her voice. “So, are you also a member of the Muraco Clan? Or are you
related to the Muraco Clan?”
“Neither.”

The Holy Maiden sounded extremely disappointed.
Zeke had no inkling why the Holy Maiden reacted in that manner all of a sudden.
The village was not huge, and it consisted of around a hundred families.
Very soon, they arrived at the house of the head of the clan. It was the only three-story house in the entire village.
“This is where the clan leader stays,” announced the Holy Maiden. “Please wait here while I inform him of your
arrival.”
“Fine.”
In small, dainty steps, the Holy Maiden made her way up to the third level.
However, after a few steps, a sultry voice rang out from the topmost floor.
“Erwen, you are back so soon.”
Zeke looked toward the direction of the voice and saw a sexy middle-aged lady dressed in revealing clothes coming
down from the third floor.
In terms of her voice, dressing, and even her movement, she was the embodiment of the word “sexy.”
It was a direct contrast against the aloofness of the Holy Maiden.
That was also the first time Zeke knew of the Holy Maiden's name, Erwen.
She is exactly what her name suggests. Pure and cold like the snow!
At the sight of the alluring woman, the Holy Maiden broke into a sweet but shallow smile.
The Holy Maiden responded, “Yes, Yazmin. I just got back.”
The seductive Yazmin said, “Erwen, how was your trip away from the village? Did you meet anyone interesting? Tell
me. I have been locked up here for three days and three nights. I'm about to be bored to death.”
The Holy Maiden shook her head. “No, Yazmin. I'm here to look for the head of the clan. Please inform him of our
arrival.”
Yazmin shook her head. “I doubt you can see him right now. He has entered seclusion and is still in it. By the way,
why are you looking for him?”
The Holy Maiden turned and glanced at Zeke.
That was when Yazmin noticed him.
When she laid her eyes on Zeke for the first time, Yazmin's eyes lit up brightly, and she looked lustfully at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith her sickeningly sweet voice, she said to Zeke, “How do I address you, Handsome? There is such a manly aura
coming from you. Have you eaten yet? Supper is on me.”
As she was talking, her fair arm reached out to caress Zeke's chest.
A ball of energy went out from Zeke, and Yazmin fell to the ground in an instant.
“Don't try your tricks on me. If not, I won't hesitate to end your life.”
Zeke knew very well that she had tried to get close to him in an attempt to poison him.
“You!” Yazmin was furious, and vulgarity was about to come out of her mouth.
However, her expression changed in no time. She glanced at Zeke in a suggestive manner and said, “Handsome,
you are a decent man. I like it. Just wait and see. You will be mine eventually. By then, you will be fawning all over
me.”
Zeke was speechless. It seemed like that woman was masochistic.
He ignored the two women and walked up to the top floor. “Take me to your leader now.”
Yazmin started to panic. “Handsome, stop right there. The leader is in seclusion right now. If you disrupt him, he will
be very furious and won't let you off easily. You are not mine yet. I have no wish for you to die so soon.”
