Chapter 13

However, his master replied in a low voice, "That girl is really careless. She's drawing too much attention to herself, thanks to the fact that there are no masters in this small kingdom." He immediately got up and went towards the place where immense spiritual power gathered. That place was the Chu family house. In a forest on the border of the Red Spirit Kingdom, a man dressed like a beggar suddenly rushed towards the capital of the Kingdom. She had the Eyes of Immortality, she was more sensitive to the movements of people and even more so to the energies of masters. She felt someone approaching, she took out her hairpin and she threw it into the darkness. A pair of slender hands clamped the hairpin, and he appeared in front of Julia in an instant. She saw a familiar face. "Is this a special welcome of the Chu family?" Julia raised her eyebrows and said, "All right, you're very fast!" "I missed you in my sleep, so I came to you after I woke up. I also have a present for you." William blinked behind Julia and put the necklace on her. The color of the gems were extremely close to the color of his eyes. "I don't like it, you can keep it," Julia said. She was a thief in her past life, she liked shiny gems and jewelry but she didn't like wearing them. It got in the way of her movements and she was afraid it would get snagged on something and make her vulnerable. "The Pocket Heart Dimension is not an ordinary necklace. It's a spatial magic tool, almost like a handbag. It can hold up to nine hundred square meters and you can put anything inside it." William whispered into her ear, his hot breath gently caressed her ear and she could feel the heat linger on for a while. "This necklace also hides your aura and Spiritual Cultivation. The Eyes of Immortality is something that has been passed down since ancient times. Its owners are all talented people, it allowed them to rapidly master various realms of cultivation. You'll understand when you get stronger, but for now you need to stay hidden." Julia was taken aback for a moment and she asked, "Did you find me through my aura?" This was the first time she had practiced the Eyes of Immortality, how much spiritual energy did she absorb? William replied, "I'm the only one who knows and hopefully I'm the only one who saw you. You'll be fine if someone else saw you, I'll just get rid of them." Julia nodded and said, "I understand, thanks for the reminder and the necklace. You should go back and rest, you're still sick." She knew he wasn't lying when he said that he just woke up, his face was still pale and his hair was a bit messy. Immediately afterwards, William's face got closer to Julia, but Julia stepped back to the wall and asked, "What are you doing?" William stretched out his hand and he placed it on Julia's forehead, "You need to rest now. There is no need to rush your cultivation." "Why should I listen to you?" Only the strongest survive and she had the Eyes of Immortality. She wanted to become stronger quickly to avoid the possible dangers that could come after her. "You don't want to listen to me? Hmm, what should I do?" William lowered his head, and their noses touched. His eyes had the familiar look of passion and seduction from last time. Julia stared into his eyes, her heart skipped a beat once more and she couldn't handle it. She escaped to his side and got in her bed. "Fine, I'll go to sleep. Your Royal Highness can leave me now." William looked at the little fox that wanted him to leave so badly. He wanted to lay down beside her to tease her. Her room was very simple, the bedding was shabby and rough, and the bed itself was very small and narrow. William had a contemptuous look in his eyes. It looked like the Chu family was neglecting his fiancée. He thought his fiancée was bashful woman, so he decided not to lay down anymore. Instead a wicked smile appeared on his face and he said affectionately, "Julia, there will be a surprise tomorrow." As he left those words behind, he finally left and the strong and dangerous aura that filled the room disappeared. Julia sighed in relief, she didn't want to think about the surprise and she immediately fell asleep. A day had passed since William fell ill. His body had fully recovered and everyone in the kingdom was surprised, this was his fastest recovery in history. After his recovery, the Red Emperor came to ask William as to whether or not he was satisfied with Julia, who had already been abandoned by another man. The entire kingdom was waiting to laugh at Julia again. No matter how bad his health was, William was still a part of the royal family. How could he be satisfied with the woman Henry abandoned? However, things didn't go as expected. William's reply was, "I like her. Uncle, please go and prepare some gifts our engagement." William also requested to make the gifts precious and valuable. He remembered that Julia had a thing for shiny valuables. She should be happy to receive some. "Ah, finally, you're getting married! Don't you worry, I will prepare the most valuable treasures of the kingdom." There was a bright smile on the Red Emperor's face, as if he didn't want to imprison Julia yesterday. Soon, the Red Emperor had prepared all kinds of valuable jewelry and he sent them to the Chu family in batches. The whole city was in an uproar, "There are so many engagement gifts. It's piling up into a mountain, my god!" "Our emperor really loves Prince William! The Chu family has made a lot of money, I didn't know he was going to be so generous for them. I should have let my daughter participate in the competition, she might have won against Julia if she did." An extravagant engagement ceremony such as this made people jealous. The gifts were no joke either, they were extremely valuable. But William was a sickly child, he could die at any time. Was it really worth it to send such gifts to them? The entire courtyard of the Chu family house was filled valuable treasures. The light of day struck onto the gold and jewels and it reflected the entire rainbow on the walls of the house. Oscar felt dizzy when he looked at the pile of gold and jewelry. The Chu family was one of the most powerful families, they were never short on money, but the immense amount of gifts that were given to them was too frightening. It was as if a court jester was waiting all along to take it all back. The other ladies of the Chu family were also jealous. If she got married to a short-lived ghost they would have to get busy to make many children and her place will be set in stone. Oscar collected himself and he said, "Come, take these gifts to the family warehouse!" Ian then replied coldly, "I cannot follow your orders, Chief Oscar. My master told me that Lady Julia will be the one to decide on what to do with these gifts."
