Chapter 215: Death?
Lars sighed again looking at his sister's treatment for a lower level cultivator. She has always been spoiled by him and that was the reason why she has turned like this. She seems to have no respect for any life that is lower than her.
"Lulu, don't act like that, we can use this guy's power's to find some beasts that are good at hiding. And don't worry I will let you hunt the next beast that we see," He said while placing his hand on her shoulder.
Lulu just stayed silent and looked away with a pout on her face.
"Forgive my sister, she is not a bad person," Lars said.
Rowen smiled and waved his hand, "No need to apologise. It was my fault, to begin with. I was following you guys in need of help, to get out of this large jungle. I saw that you were killing all the beasts that were in your way that's why I thought that following you would be a good idea."
Rowen started talking nicely to them, his eyes subconsciously landed on Lulu from time to time. 'Girl you will soon be regretting all the words that you have said just now.'
"Don't waste our time by all the Ideal chat, quickly bark out all the details about your ability and then find a good beast for us." Lulu looked at him and took a step forward, a slight pressure released from her body, trying to intimidate Rowen.
Lars just stayed silent, as long as Lulu doesn't kill Rowen then he doesn't mind. And even if she did kill him, then it was not a big deal too. His purpose now was to slowly teach his sister some humility and this seems to be the perfect moment for that. However, if she is adamant about killing this lower level guy then he would not stop her too many times.
Rowen nodded at her. "Yes, miss." Suddenly the third eye formed on his forehead, which stunned both the siblings for few seconds, however, after that they turned normal.
"Senior miss, this is my third eye. It came when I unlocked the potential of my bloodline due to an accident. I can scout very large areas around and could even see the places that are not visible to naked eyes. However, this eye can't see past the spiritual barriers," He explained.
There were many lies in his statement. As he got this third eye with his Sanguine Shield, and on top of that he can also see through the spiritual barriers. An even more amazing thing about this eye was that not only does it help seeing things, but it also can even listen to things. That was the reason why he was able to listen to the conversation of brother and sister previously.
Both Lars and Lulu nodded at his words and after few seconds of silence, Lulu opened her mouth again. "So? What are you waiting for you idiot? Do you want a written statement? Quickly search for a good beast for me to fight." There was a proud expression on her face.
Lars nodded at Rowen, indicating that he should follow her sister's orders. Rowen also nodded and moved a step ahead of both of them and started walking.
'I have to make this girl feel helpless. I want to break her differently.' A slight smile formed on his face as he started moving forward. He was thinking of ways he would break this girl.
At first, he just wanted to test his skills, however, now he has met such unique siblings in the woods, he now wanted to play with them a little.
After moving for fifteen minutes Lulu turned even more annoyed. "Brother, I told you that this guy is useless. Let me just punish him instead. How dare he waste our time?" She complained.
However, before Lars could say anything, Rowen interrupted. "I can sense something strong about a hundred kilometres away." He said as he looked in the south direction.
Lars ignored Lulu's complaints and moved a step towards Rowen. "What is it?" He asked with a serious expression.
Rowen turned his head and looked at him in the eyes and seeing the serious expression on his face, his eyes narrowed. 'Looks like this guy has come here in search of something special. That could be the reason why he accepted help from a low-level guy like me.' He thought and an apologetic look appeared on his face.
"I can't exactly tell, Because this thing is messing with my senses. I think it's too powerful for me to completely identify it."
Lars turned silent at his words and thought for few seconds.
While a smile formed on Lulu's face, she was getting bored and annoyed all this time. Now she wants to fight with some beasts. "You fool, don't just stand here. Quickly show me the way," she said with an excited tone. Even a sword appeared in her hand.
"Behind me miss." Rowen nodded and started moving in a particular direction.
He was telling the truth that he couldn't clearly sense that powerful beast as it was a hundred kilometres away. However, only after a few more steps, his vision cleared and he identified the beast as a small red butterfly, sitting in a big dark cave, it seems to be sitting on a glowing red flower.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at the butterfly, there was something strange about it. It was as if Lava was dripping from the edges of its wing that was later absorbed by the flower and one more unique thing about the butterfly was that he couldn't read its cultivation realm. However, he was sure of one thing that the fly was not any more powerful than Amopone. Even this guy with the crown was more powerful than it.
And Rowen himself was confident that he could kill that fly in few seconds. He could tell this by the density of aura surrounding it.
As they moved closer and closer, and when they were about thirty kilometres away, Lars also sensed the butterfly and a smile formed on his face. There was a glimmer of excitement in his eye.
He looked at his sister still moving and opened his mouth. "Stop Lulu. You will not be able to defeat this beast. Let your brother handle it. You two just wait outside of the cave."
"What cave?" Lulu had a confused expression on her face, however, after focusing for few seconds she also noticed the cave. After realisation hit her soon enough.
"Wait, Brother! You said that I could fight the next beast we find if I let this fool go. Now you should keep your promise." She moved a step towards her bother looking straight into his eyes.
Lars smiled at his words. "Lulu, that thing is too dangerous for you. And if you want then you can kill this guy I don't care anymore," He said while pointing at Rowen.
Rowen listened to them, and a flustered expression appeared on his face. However, internally he was smiling. 'So you were here to find this butterfly. This seems interesting.' He thought and moved a step back.
"Esteemed seniors, please forgive this powerless fellow," he joined both of his hands.
However, there was a nonchalant expression on Lars's face. "Your destiny is in my sister's hand now. Beg her." He then looked at Lulu. "You stay here and don't move, ok, this is an order from your older brother."
Lulu wanted to retort, however, after hearing the word order, her words just got stuck in her throat and she just snorted. Taking a step back. "Brother, I need better compensation for this," she said.
Lars smiled and patted her head, "Don't worry, I will not disappoint you. For now, I am going, you can either kill or leave this guy alone if you want. However, don't come to the cave, no matter what," He said with a serious expression.
Lulu nodded at his words, after that Lars disappeared from the place. And after he was gone, a red flash also moved behind Rowen, it was impossible to see.
After few seconds Lulu took in a breath and turned around. She looked at Rowen with disdain in her eyes. "I am feeling generous today. If you just lick my shoes and then let me carve out all of your eyes then I will let you live." She said with a cold voice.
Rowen looked at her and moved one more step back. "Miss please forgive me."
Lulu chuckled at his words. "I gave you an opportunity, however, you don't seem too bright enough to grab it. Now die!" She said and dashed towards Rowen, her sword clenching in her hand.
However, as she looked at Rowen a surprised expression appeared on her face. Because there was a smile on his face. He was not scared of her at all.
'Has he gone mad? Why is he smiling?'
She stopped midway and pointed her sword at him. "You really are stupid, to not know that your death is in front of you. You deserve to die!"
"Death? In front of me?" Rowen asked with a smile. "Let me show you what death looks like." He laughed.
