This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Wait for me, we are not done yet, how dare you look down on me,” Maria gritted her teeth and shouted at the top of her lungs, seeing Yohan ignore her once again.

‘He is getting on my nerves as passing time, this has never happened before. It’s indeed frustrating being treated like that. I am definitely going to kick his ass’maria cursed Yohan inwardly and she fastened her pace in the direction of Yohan and sometime later she exited the mansion.

“I thought you are a high-level cultivator but your movement seems slow,” Yohan said as he looked at Maria who finally exited the mansion and somewhat looking pissed about something, to yohan’s surprise after hearing his words her facial expression become cold as he pressed the nerve that he shouldn’t press.

“You bastard who do you think I am, you want me to run like a wild pig, don’t you know I am roya…I mean lady, I have to maintain my dignity as a woman” maria responded to Yohan in a somewhat furious manner.

“Well whatever, I am in a hurry so I don’t intend to slow down, I hope you can keep up with me,” Yohan said to maria, and with those words his body started ascending into the sky.

‘He is that desperate to meet Aana?’Maria followed him as her body also started ascending into the sky and soon both of them flew into the direction of the river shore city with frightening speed.

After some time later, Maria tilted her head and looked at Yohan who was flying beside her,his facial expressions were stiff and he was looking somewhat serious.

“You don’t seem happy despite you going back to your home, it feels like you don’t want to return to your clan, “Maria asked him.

A bitter smile appeared on yohan’s face as he heard maria” of course I am not happy about returning empty-handed, the only reason I came here was that I wanted to attain the earth realm but alas I am far away from my goal, and other then that I don’t want to see Elsa in pain, she is fighting for her life and waiting for my return”Yohan responded to maria without looking in her direction.

Maria took a deep sigh as she heard Yohan’s words, “I don’t understand how are you going to treat her after reaching the earth realm, this is bothering me from the starting, it sound silly when lady Evelyn told me that you are the only one who can treat Elsa and for that, you have to attain the earth realm,” maria asked Yohan as she looked him with a different gaze.

Hearing Maria’s words Yohan turned silent for a few moments and sometimes later he finally gave a quick look at maria.

“I have my own ways but for that, I have to attain the earth realm,” Yohan responded to maria.

“It feels like you are hiding too many secrets from me,” Maria said with a smile looking at Yohan’s face.

“Same goes for you lady maria, why I am getting the feeling that you are not the same person that you are pretending to be” Yohan tilted his head and looked at maria, hearing yohan’s words maria’s facial expression changed for a moment but next moment everything returned to normal, it was enough time for him to noticed those change of expression on Maria’s face, maria tilted her head and her gaze met with yohan’s gaze.

“You are interested in seeing my different side, Yohan?” she asked him, looking into his eyes. Her words were carrying seriousness, Yohan slightly felt uncomfortable but he remained calm and he kept looking into her eyes.

“Yeah maybe, I would love to see the real side of yours sometimes, it’s a good thing to be in your real self” Yohan responded to her with a smile, maria was taken aback by surprise hearing Yohan’s words and she stepped into the middle of the air, seeing that she is stopped Yohan also halted his movement.

“If that’s what you want then I am willing to show my real self to you, but you have to promise me one thing that you will be honest with me, I don’t know what kind of secrets you are hiding from everyone but lady Evelyn seems to trust you along with Aana and kana, I never ever doubted her in my entire life, she never made the wrong decision, if she has favored you that much then you are definitely worth trusting, “maria approached yohan and she gets close to him before looking into his eyes.

Yohan’s heartbeat suddenly raced seeing her that close to him, her face was a few inches away from him and her palm is resting on yohan’s chest, he didn’t understand out of nowhere how things turn out like this, nevertheless, Yohan’s face slightly turns red seeing this beauty that close to him, he won’t know why but he couldn’t able to control his urge when she is this close to him.

“Indeed you are worthy of my attention. I have never seen anyone like you, you are the only man that resisted my charm that long, most of the people fell on their knees the moment they came this close, but you are…” maria ran one of her fingers to yohan’s lips and whispered those words looking into his eyes in a seductive manner.

Yohan swallowed his saliva nervously seeing the awkward situation between them. This woman was indeed unpredictable and at the same time very beautiful and very hard to resist, there was something in her eyes that was pulling him towards her.

“Don’t force yourself, trust me you are pretty bad doing this, you have to try harder to get through to me, tricks like this won’t work on me, tell me what do you want from me, your behavior towards me changed out of nowhere” Yohan places his both hands on her shoulder and he slightly distances himself from her, Yohan noticed that something has changed since she came out from the alchemy hall, her attitude towards him is changed drastically out of nowhere, Yohan didn’t know whether it’s a bad thing or good thing for him but he wanted to stay away from maria for time being until he know what is she want from him.

“Tell me something yohan, why are you only searching for Kana and Aana, if I am not wrong you have other partners besides those two but you didint mention them, you told me that you needed Yin qi, then what’s so special about those two, “Maria smiled as she asked him ignoring everything that he said to her.

“What are you talking about”Yohan tried to play dumb in front of her.

“Trust me, kid you are pretty bad playing dumb, you are more smarter than that, let’s leave this conversation, for now, we are almost there” she blinked at him and left his sight, Yohan took a deep sigh in an annoyed manner hearing her calling him a kid again and he followed her from behind.

Sometimes later a familiar sight appeared in front of Yohan’s sight and seeing that sight Yohan exhaled deeply.

“We are about to reach the river shore city,” Yohan whispered, seeing the city in front of his eyes which was dazzling with lights.

“Yeah, we finally reached but something is not right” Maria responded to Yohan in a serious manner.

“What do you mean by that?”Yohan asked.

“Some Kind of commotion, follow me,” she said and with those words she fastened her pace.
