Chapter 1535 Come Closer
''Did she recognize me?
That''s impossible. She was barely herself due to the philter, ''
Austin thought, as he stood frozen in his ce and in the presence of the very reason he couldn''t move
or even breathe: Stacy.
How could he forget that day? It was the first time he got that intimate with someone, especially one
whose beauty could get him weak in the knees.
Nheless, he wasn''t one to exploit her situation, even when she clung to his body like a bee to a
precious flower. Even when her lips treated his body like a train route and traveled from one station to
another with no headway. Even when her hands touched him like she was home.
Austin was concerned about getting punished, or worse, killed, by Stacy for seeing her with barely any
clothes after they got all torn.
She, after all, had the power to do so, after having reached the premium stage of Emperor Realm.
More than that, she was among the nearly 40 Emperor Realm warriors who were the pride of the Deep
Sea Commercial House.
Plus, the fighting men of the Deep Sea Commercial House were too strong for his own good, and their
horses were fed fat. Fighting against them would mean asking for trouble – lots of it.
Lost in his own thoughts, Austin didn''t realize that Stacy had been observing him, as if she was trying
to remember something.
"You look familiar. Come over here,"
Stacy ordered Austin, with her voice trembling and her expression changing to curiosity and confusion.
Everyone, including disciples from both the me Holy Land and the Blood-thirsty Gang, traded
nces and threw alternating looks between Stacy and Austin.
They surmised something strange was going on, but couldn''t pinpoint the exact cause.
This was a big deal for everyone. Stacy was looked upon with high regard since she was from a well-
knownmercial house. Austin could only pale inparison.
A lesser male warrior at the Semi-holy Realm versus a female warrior at the premium stage of Emperor
Realm.
How could she take such interest in him? They wondered if Stacy had mistaken Austin for somebody
else.
''Oh shit. It seems that she really recognized me. I must get out of here soon, ''
Austin thought to himself. He lowered his head and avoided any eye contact with Stacy.
Running away from Stacy, however, would mean leaving five dozen disciples from the me Holy
Land in danger.
And worse, if she snapped, he was as good as dead even before he could make an inch of movement.
Either situation was bad news for Austin.
As his face twisted awkwardly due to anxiety, Stacy grew even more suspicious of his real identity.
"You! Come here. Now,"
Stacy said, with more force and urgency.
"Uhm... Mydy,"
Austin responded coyly.
"Hey, bastard! Are you deaf? Didn''t you hear Miss Stacy''s order? How could you be so clueless about
her? You''re so lucky that Miss Stacy nced at your ugly face!"
"What an ungrateful piece of shit! You''ll just stand there until you can''t help peeing in your own pants,
huh?"
Disciples from the Blood-thirsty Gang and warriors from the Deep Sea Commercial House jeered at
Austin, getting impatient by hisck of a proper response.
"Move your ass quickly and answer Miss Stacy''s question!" "Don''t be shy,d! You couldn''t be uglier
than you already are, ha ha!" "Do as what shemands and you''ll be fine. Defy her and bad things
will happen to you."
"Step forward you, son of a bitch!" Their curses and boos came like a rifle with unlimited bullets.
Feeling helpless, Austin knew he couldn''t pretend to be deaf, mute, or dumb.
He took a deep breath and put on a naive expression.
"Mydy, I don''t think we''ve met before. I''m afraid you might''ve mistaken me for somebody else,"
Austin said politely and with a hint of a smile.
"Come closer. I''m not done with you,"
Stacy responded curtly. At that moment, Austin thought she looked like an Ice Princess who wouldn''t
take no for an answer, far too different from that wild, philter-influenced girl who stole kisses from him in
the jungle.
Whatever she did or said, everyone who was looking at Stacy was only left astounded by her beauty.
These people could only dream of being asked toe closer to her and stand before her.
Yet a nobody was asked to do so, no less than by the first daughter of the Deep Sea Commercial
House''s owner, the fantasy of every excellent gentleman in thend.
Austin had no choice now but to follow Stacy''smand.
Just a few steps closer and he could already smell the captivating fragrance of her skin.
He could feel his insides twirl as he recalled the moment that she went under him, half-naked and
hungry for his affection.
Stacy was apletely different person. For Austin, though, she was both sacred and savage.
She could either be a good girl or a bad girl. She could be as timid as a rose, or as uncharted as the
ocean. Whatever she wanted to be, Austin would take it. That was what being under her spell was like.
His heart raced even more violently and his face turned even more crimson that he had to lower his
head again to avoid Stacy''s eyes.
"Miss Stacy... I... I''m just an ordinary disciple from the Shiny Sect based in the Dawning Kingdom.
You''re an outstanding and dignified warrior at the Emperor Realm.
It''s impossible that our paths ever crossed," Austin said, his best shot at making an excuse.
Rahul and his fellow disciples from the me Holy Land frowned and scratched their heads in
confusion. What could Austin have done to be questioned like that? The Deep Sea Commercial House
was a force to be reckoned with. And the Blood-thirsty Gang... who would dare mess with them? They
didn''t stand a chance against any one of them.
Stacy''s eyes stayed fixed at Austin as she sifted through her mind any trace of an encounter with this
man before her.
She couldn''t help getting shes of that day the more she looked at Austin.
That day was a burning shame for her.
For 24 years, she did nothing but cultivated and practiced martial arts. Countless men, some with
stature andpetence beyond measure, had professed their adoration for her and had asked for her
hand in marriage. Not a single soul seeded in taking her hand or getting a kiss from her.
24 years a virgin. Stacy had never let anyone touch her and had neverid a finger on a man''s body
unless it was to fight him on the battlefield.
That was why she couldn''t ept what happened to her that day when Sexton of the Dark Night Sect
poisoned her.
Under the influence of the Love-philter Powder, this virgin almost became a whore who would wee
penises of all shapes and sizes between her legs.
But even then, in such a carnal, almost primal state, Stacy was able to keep her consciousness intact
for a while, thanks to her cultivation base being at the premium stage of Emperor Realm.
She vaguely remembered that Sexton was about to assault her.
Then, a brave teenager arrived just in time to prevent that from happening.
Though she was already safe from malicious hands, she wasn''t safe from the effects of the philter just
yet.
Her sexual desire became so strong that she was so ready to give her virginity to the brave teenager
she could barely see clearly, much less had known. She remembered kissing, caressing, and
undressing him. She never stopped even when he begged her to stop. He never took advantage of her

even when he could have.
Instead, he looked for an antidote and helped her heal.
And when she got better, he left her, alone in the cave, without telling her his name.
