Chapter 223


    Before Jonathan could reach out, Lah suddenly sat up and ran to the bathroom to puke.


    Jonathan was left speechless. What''s going on?


    Momentster, he caught a whiff of the foul smelling from the bathroom while he was in the living


    room. No matter how pretty a girl is, her puke is still just as disgusting!


    Jonathan could no longer pity her.


    When Lah was done puking, she brushed her teeth and freshened herself up in the bathroom. After


    she was done, she came out with her hair all over the ce and her cheeks still red. At that moment,


    she looked rather alluring. However, she had sobered up.


    “What time is it?” Lah asked.


    Jonathan knew she was drunk before when he noticed that there wasn''t anything strange about her


    expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and answered, “It''s ten.”


    “I have a new idea.”


    “Oh?”


    “We should visit the bookstores to buy books with information regarding King Sergiu''s treasures. Let''s


    see if we can find some clues from there.”


    “Sure!” Despite what he said, Jonathan was against the idea. If those books were any good, the


    authors would''ve found the treasures by now. Besides, those who are looking for treasures must''ve


    also referred to these books. We''re just doing what others have done. We won''t find anything new in


    those books. But I should just go along with it. She has finally be hopeful again. If she were to sit


    on her hands, she would end up getting even more anxious.


    Soon after, Lah went back to her own room to rest.


    Jonathan took another shower and went to bed. At that moment, the sexual desires within him were still


    raging. This is all Lah''s fault.


    Left without a choice, Jonathan switched off the lights, grabbed some tissues, closed his eyes, and


    began fantasizing.


    He fantasized about Lah and Jennifer as he relieved himself. Only then did he have a good night''s


    sleep.


    Since he arrived in Yeringham so many days ago, that was the best sleep he had ever had.


    The next day, Jonathan and Lah went to the bookstores and bought a lot of books about King Sergiu.


    The books had information on the lost Holy Chest and King Sergiu''s treasures.


    Not only were the booksrgely based on fiction, but they were also difficult toprehend.


    Soon, Jonathan lost interest in them.


    Lah also gave up on them after a few hours of reading.


    Jonathan remained calm and kept thinking about their next step.


    Yet, he couldn''te up with anything.


    During that time, he had a conversation with Catherine. He found out that she hadpleted two


    missions within ten days, and she was one mission away from bing a Silver disciple.


    Jonathan knew Simon had helped her with everything, and he was very grateful to Simon.


    Nheless, he didn''t feel the need to express his gratitude.


    In the blink of an eye, Jonathan and Lah had spent another ten days in Yeringham.


    In other words, the missions had been going on for twenty days, and they had less than ten days left.


    However, they were still stuck.


    Even Jonathan was starting to get worried. What if we get sealed off? When the timees, we can''t


    escape that. The Divine Emperor left marks on Lah and me. There''s no way we''re escaping that. If


    we don''t flee, we''ll get locked up for ten years, and I can''t afford to lose ten years of my life. If we flee,


    we''ll die.


    Jonathan refused to ept the idea of being locked up for ten years.


    With the Great Tribtion around, those ten years were incredibly important.

    He was the Chosen One. If he were to get locked up for ten years, he wasn''t sure if he would survive


    those ten years.


    Jonathan grew more and more anxious.


    Meanwhile, Lah had been chatting with Ranen, but she didn''t get any useful information from him.


    Another five days had passed.


    At that point, they had less than five days left because they had to return to Lostaria on the fifth day. If


    they couldn''t hand in the Sinai Bible by then, they would be sealed off.


    With things getting even more dicey, Simon called Jonathan to ask about the progress.


    Jonathan told him the truth, and Simon fell silent for a while before saying, “If something happens to


    you, I''ll take care of your family.” After that, Lesley and Elijah called Jonathan and said the same thing.


    Jonathan was touched, but at the same time, he felt even more dejected.


    Mabel called to ask about his progress as well.


    She, too, thought that Jonathan''s situation was less than ideal.


    With less than five days left, they were still as clueless as ever.


    How could they find something the others had failed to find for the past millenniums?


    It was almost an impossible task.


    Lah was also getting more and more disheartened.


    Perhaps Jonathan had finally arrived at the end of his road, having created miracle after miracle.


    Perhaps that was his fate.


    Even so, no one would know for sure what was going to happen next.


    Another day had passed.


    By then, they had less than four days left.


    At ten that night, the city of Yeringham was brightly lit.


    Jonathan stood on the balcony and cast a nce at the city lights, feeling sorrowful. There''s nothing


    more we can do! I''ve spent so many days thinking, and I still can''t find any clues. It seems that all that


    is left is death.


    “F*ck!” Jonathan cursed as he looked into the night sky.


    Right then, he heard someone knocking on his door, and he knew it was Lah. We''re both in such a


    pitiful state, and only death awaits us.


    Jonathan quickly went to open the door.


    As expected, it was Lah.


    At that moment, Lah seemed different. There was a trace of hostility in her eyes. However, she


    seemed to have concealed it when she saw Jonathan.


    Being as observant as he was, Jonathan could sense it, but he decided not to mention it. This is


    definitely Lah, but there''s something different about her. When I had dinner with her earlier, she


    seemed devastated. And she even changed her clothes in a short period of time.


    Despite his thoughts, he invited Lah in without hesitation.


    Lah entered the room and closed the door.


    “What''s wrong? Having trouble sleeping?” Jonathan went to the fridge to get two cans of beer and


    tossed one of them to Lah.


    Lah took the beer from him and uttered tly, “Since we can''t find the Sinai Bible, I''ll have all the


    sleep I want in the future.”


    All of a sudden, Jonathan felt dizzy. What''s happening? This is strange. It seems that something


    happened to the maic field.


    Failing to figure out what was happening, he shook his head violently to regain hisposure. With a


    bitter smile, he said, “I''m sorry for letting you down!”


    “What''s there to apologize for? I''ve made my own decision, and I''m going to be responsible for it.”


    Lah paused, then suddenly asked, “Do you find me pretty?”


    Jonathan was stunned. But shortly after, he answered truthfully, “I do.”


    Lah fixed her gaze on him and slowly walked up to him.


    Jonathan caught a whiff of her pleasant smell. When he saw her getting closer, he panicked. “Lah,


    have you had too much to drink?”


    Lah shed a cold smile and answered, “I haven''t. In fact, I''m well awake. Since we''ll surely get


    sealed off, why don''t we take the opportunity and have fun over the next few days? We should enjoy


    ourst days, no?”


    Heart racing, Jonathan stared at Lah in disbelief. What the f*ck? Is Lah trying to sleep with me?


    Sh*t! Should I ept her offer? I should ept her offer, right? Why should I reject her? It''s a sin to


    reject her! Although I''m a married man, I''m going to get sealed off pretty soon. And I''ll most probably


    die during the Great Tribtion. F*ck this! I should have fun in life. Why should I overthink? I''m going to


    die a happy man if I get to have sex with someone as stunning as Lah.


    Just then, Lah suddenly took off her shirt to reveal her ck bra.


    Behind her bra were her huge breasts.


    Seeing that, Jonathan couldn''t hold it in anymore.


    However, it was also then he sensed a hint of danger. I can sense a trace of murderous intent on


    Lah''s body.


    Although Lah concealed it well, Jonathan was good at sensing these things.


    In fact, he could even sense a hint of restlessness in her. Why is she so restless? Is she so eager to kill


    me?


    At that moment, Lah went over to hug him.


    Jonathan immediately became wary and quickly stepped backward. “Lah, I don''t think this is


    appropriate.”


    Lah''s eyes shed menacingly. “It seems that you''ve already figured it out. Now hand over your life!”


    With that, she suddenly attacked him.


    Since she had achieved the final stage of Celestial Soul, Jonathan was no match for her. He was


    frightened and puzzled at the same time. What the f*ck? What''s going on? Why does Lah want to kill


    me? Has she gone mad? What''s her motive? This makes no sense!


    Jonathan was utterly confounded.


    Right then, Lah''s attack was fast approaching.


    Jonathan hurriedly used Shadow Step to dodge her attack. After that, their fists collided. Even with his


    Haemocore, he was still no match for Lah. She ended up sending him flying three meters backward


    with her punch.


    Jonathan knew that he couldn''t fight Lah. Although I have Haemocore, Lah is in the final stage of


    Celestial Soul. She''s so much stronger than me!


    After getting knocked back, he crashed into the wall and ended up in the room next door.


    At that moment, Jonathan knew he had to run for his life. My Haemocore is at its limit, and I''m going to


    get crushed!


    There was a middle-aged couple from Anndur next door. They were watching the television when


    Jonathan suddenly crashed into their room. Needless to say, they were stunned.


    Jonathan couldn''t be bothered anymore. He immediately got up and ran toward the corridor.


    The moment he arrived in the corridor, Lah appeared before him and stood in his way.


    Lah was still in her ck bra when she blocked him. “Do you think you can get away?”
