Chapter 1223 True Beauty
"It’s a formation!" said Seboxiasm calmly in Jonathan’s consciousness field.
Jonathan looked at the towering waterfall above the pond.
"Behind this waterfall?"
"No, it’s inside the water."
Immediately after Seboxia finished speaking, the giant wolf beneath Jonathan pounced into the water.
"Don’t act recklessly!" yelped Sterio, as if someone had just provoked him.
If Jonathan hadn’t grabbed hold of him, Sterio would have jumped down the wolf and escaped.
For the Mallory family, parasites were their foundation.
Their attacks, defenses, and even retreats could be greatly assisted by parasites, making their
techniques versatile and difficult to counter.
However, there was one thing the Mallory family feared—water.
Cultivators could hold their breath underwater for half an hour, even if they had only reached Superior
Realm.
But the same couldn’t be said for parasites.
When it came to parasites that were nurtured as weapons, the majority of parasites could only breathe
onnd apart from a few rare species capable of surviving in water.
Now that Sterio had been dragged into the water, most of his abilities would have been rendered
useless.
Naturally, he would panic.
Jonathan firmly held onto Sterio, who was trying to escape.
"Calm down.They pose no threat to us."
"Bullsh*t!"
Sterio gritted his teeth, ring at Jonathan.
"Even you are a danger to me."
As they spoke, a brilliant white light erupted from beneath the green wolf.
Intense dizziness engulfed them.
Even Jonathan was momentarily dazed.
It was a portal formation! Before he could resist, Jonathan found himself standing in a vast
underground cavern.
A gleaming spear danced under the flickering firelight, creating a mesmerizing and chilling scene.
argh… Sterio knelt at the side and retched uncontrobly, overwhelmed by the intense difort
caused by the portal formation.
"We have returned,"
Abraham announced loudly to the guards wielding long spears.
The guards sheathed their weapons.
One of them looked at Abraham with a smile.
"I know it’s you, but rules must be followed."
"Naturally."
Abraham and the others stood still, submitting to the thorough scrutiny of the guards who walked past
them with a special spirit stone.
"This is a spirit stone that can detect any fluctuations in spiritual energy.No matter how skilled someone
might be in changing his appearance using spirit stone, he would still be discovered," said Abraham to
Jonathan with a smile.
"Got it.It’s like the security checks at train stations."
Jonathan and Sterio stood up straight while the others inspected them.
The guards meticulously examined Abraham and the rest.
However, when they reached Jonathan and Sterio, they swiftly passed by them without questioning
their travel history.
They directly granted the two of them immediate passage.
The strange way of inspection left Jonathan and Sterio perplexed.
"Abraham, shouldn’t they interrogate us more? Why are they disying greater interest in you?"
Jonathan asked in confusion.
Abraham chuckled.
"Everyone here is trustworthy, so as long as they confirm that no one is impersonating us, they wouldn’t
pay much attention to the rest of the people we bring in.That’s how we got together!"
As Abraham spoke, the group turned a corner in the cave.
The soft glow of the sun entered their sight.
A quiet little vige appeared beneath them.
"We have arrived.This is our vige," Merilyn said to Jonathan and Sterio.
She then took out a patchwork linen robe, made from countless pieces of scraps sewn together, from
her storage ring.
After wearing the robe and wrapping it around herself tightly, Merilyn took out a hook and hung it on a
smooth iron cable near the cave entrance.
Pushing her feet against the ground gently, she hung on the cable and glided toward the distant vige.
"High-altitude descent.I didn’t expect you guys to be so creative,"
Sterio remarked with a smile.
"Abraham, why did Merilyn wrap herself up like that? Are there any strange customs when entering
your vige?"
"Well…" Abraham sighed.
"It’s all because of appearance.Merilyn feels very insecure about her looks.It’s the same for everyone in
the vige.
They would rather be seen as monsters than reveal their true appearances."
Upon hearing Abraham’s words, Sterio patted his shoulder.
"I believe that a person’s beauty has nothing to do with their appearance.What matters is the goodness
in their hearts.By the way, isn’t your little sister inw, who’s prettier than Merilyn, here in this vige?"
Abraham nodded.
"Yeah, I can introduce you to herter."
"You’re a true friend."
Sterio took out a gourd from his storage ring and skillfully hopped onto the iron cable.
With a strange hoot, he slid down the mountain.
Jonathan watched the warriors slide down one by one.
Curious, he tapped Abraham’s shoulder.
"I’m curious, Abraham.Does your sister-inw have a figure like Merilyn’s?"
"Who do you think you’re insulting?" replied Abraham, slightly unhappy.
"My sister-inw is the epitome of beauty in this vige.How can she possibly have the same figure as
Merilyn? I’ll let this slide because we’re friends.I won’t be so amicable the next time you insult my family
like that."
He added, "Once we’re down there, I’ll introduce you and Sterio to my sister-inw.Just don’t let your
jaw drop too much."
With that, Abraham hooked himself onto the iron cable and descended swiftly.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Jonathan couldn’t help but wipe off his sweat as he watched Abraham disappear down the
mountainside.
Merilyn, standing at a height of around one hundred and seventy five centimeters, had a curvaceous
and alluring figure.
She weighed around forty five kilograms.
Furthermore, she had a fairplexion and a slender physique honed through constant training.
With her beauty and figure, Merilyn would be an instant hit in the external world.
She would catch the attention of anyone passing by even if she was just standing by the side of the
road.
However, she was seen as ugly over here.
Jonathan was initially confused, wondering how it was possible for the vige to have so many
beautiful women.
Finally, he understood that the definition of beauty was very subjective, varying from one ce to
another.
Merilyn had a slender figure.
In that case, Abraham’s beautiful sister-inw… Good luck, Sterrio! Grinning mischievously at the
thought of Sterio’s reaction, Jonathan jumped onto the iron cable and sprinted down the mountain.
The cave they were in seemed like an underground chamber, but it was actually perched high on a cliff
that was more than two hundred meters above the ground.
Following the iron cable, Jonathan finally reached the other end after half a minute.
They arrived at the bustling central square of the vige.
News of Abraham’s return had attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.
When Jonathan scanned his surroundings briefly, he confirmed his guess.
Here, amidst the vigers of all ages and genders, they all looked… very muscr.
