The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 298

Jessica’s eyes moved slightly.

Then, she nodded and said, “That’s right.

I’m only here to deliver the letter.

Now that the matter is completed, it’s time for me to return.”

From the beginning until now, Jessica was unwilling to admit that she was here just to meet Caspian.

Nonetheless, her tone was filled with reluctance, and even a fool could figure that out.

“Then, let’s go to the nearby town tomorrow,” Caspian suggested, “My realm’s still too low in Heavenly Stars Sect, and I can’t bring you to many places.”

“Will it interrupt your train…” Before Jessica finished her sentence, she lowered her head.

Naturally, she hoped that Caspian would be able to accompany her.

Thus, she was resistant to saying things like interrupting his training.

Once the sunset, the result for the current ranking competition was out too.

Solana, who entered the top ten for the first time in the competition, completed an unexpected breakthrough and finally ranked eighth.

Maya battled greatly last night and returned to her third spot.

Caspian defeated Omar and became the most paid-attention second place. Xander was still the first, and no one could replace him.

After that competition ended, everyone left.

That night, everyone had their thoughts.

As Maya finally returned to her previous third place, she was overjoyed. Omar trained hard with his swords to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

Solana lay in her bed, looking at the moon hanging outside her window, not moving at all.

No one knew what she thought.

Caspian went to the Time Warp Zone, swallowing spirit stones to absorb spiritual Qi.

Jessica was excited about the outing tomorrow, and she could not sleep.

***

On that night in the valley near the Earlington of Efrax, a bonfire was lit following the moonlight shining at the ground.

The raging flame illuminated the surroundings, interchanging darkness and brightness.

About five figures were either standing or sitting, and they all had different expressions on their faces.

The atmosphere in the air was suddenly somewhat tense.

Then, after some time, a tall and skinny woman took out a red jade plate from her waist.

On the jade plate, there some twisted, tadpole-like writings slowly appeared.

When the woman saw that, she seemed to be delighted.

“It’s done.”

The rest of the people all stood and looked at her.

The woman looked around at the crowd and said, “The seeds over there have been sown.

We can see its effect in about fifteen.”

Among the crowd, a tall and burly man, who was at least two heads taller than an ordinary person, chimed in rudely, “So we have to wait for another half a month?”

Another person who was a man but layered himself with thick makeup said in a high-pitched tone, “Then, let’s just wait for another half a month.

It’ s not something important away.”

“Why won’t it be important? If this goes beautifully, we’ll be rewarded by the venerable person.

Whatever falls from his fingers is enough for us to use,” A person hiding in the dark with their hair covering their face commented.

The few of them seemed somewhat afraid of that man with his face covered by his long hair, and when he spoke, no one dared to argue.

Instead, they all retreated and returned to sit at their original spot.

“Once the seeds germinate, we’ll have something to do.

As we wait, let’s replenish our energy,” then, the woman glanced at the jade plate and added, “As we’re in South Earlington this time, there will surely be disciples of the sects at that time.

So, don’t forget our purpose.”

When everyone heard her last sentence, the people around her showed a bloodthirsty look in their eyes.

It might seem like only a typical night passed for ordinary people, but in the Time Warp Zone, the night was extended three times.

Using that time, Caspian readjusted his body, and at daybreak, he met with Jessica at the mountain gate.

Due to the time constraint, Caspian and Jessica did not go too far, and they chose a town nearby the Heavenly Stars Sect that would only need an hour to arrive.

Since Caspian arrived at the Heavenly Stars Sect, it was rare for him to have such a day.

Hence, he finally let down the pressure he had and once again walked among the mortals.

What he saw was the familiar streets with busy streams of people.

What he heard was the sound of vendors shouting and cold greetings.

Caspian thought that it was so long since he experienced that.

When Lucy was young, she enjoyed the bustling scene.

At that moment, she bounced around in front of the two, and whenever she saw anything fun or something delicious, she would stop and curiously look over.

When Caspian saw that, he naturally would not pretend not to see it.

After all, he was prepared before the trip and exchanged the gold and silver needed in the mortal world.

Hence, no matter what caught Jessica and Lucy’s eyes, he would not ask about the price and directly buy them.

Not long after, they shopped so much that they could not carry the things anymore.

Therefore, Caspian simply bought a barrow and piled the items on top.

Then, he carried Lucy on it and pushed the cart forward.

Whether it was Caspian or Jessica, they both had storage bags.

However, they both still chose to be like mortals and enjoyed these rare leisure hours.

After shopping, they went to grab some snacks.

Without noticing it, the entire morning passed by.

After having their afternoon tea in the evening, Caspian suddenly noticed Jessica was aloof, and she dipped her finger in the water, writing a few small words, “Someone’s following us”.

When Caspian read that, he smiled.

Then, he similarly dipped his finger in the water and wrote on the table, “I noticed it this morning.

How do you want to handle it?”

Caspian noticed someone followed them when they entered the city.

Then, while they shopped, Caspian purposely detoured, and he finally confirmed that someone followed them.

Moreover, the people that followed them were not good at that.

With just a little trick, Caspian managed to figure out the few people’s appearances without startling Jessica and Lucy.

At that moment, a few of them were at the restaurant opposite theirs, pretending to drink some tea while observing them.

Jessica pondered for a while and shook her head, writing, “Who are these people?”

Caspian was naturally unaware of their identities. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

However, from the previous probing, Caspian knew that they were cultivators.

“I don’t know.

” Then, after thinking for a moment, Caspian wrote, “Let’s get rid of them first.”

Since they disturbed his time with Jessica, Caspian was not in a great mood.

Jessica did not expect that Caspian would be so determined, and she was first stunned.

Then, she quickly regained her senses and nodded, writing, “I’ll be with you.”

After writing that, she looked at Caspian with eyes full of determination.

Ever since the incident in Evergreen Town, Jessica secretly decided that she would not be separated from Caspian if anything similar ever happened.

Hence, there would be no exception that time.

Caspian nodded and glanced at Lucy.

As Lucy wandered around the whole day, she felt tired.

With both hands supporting her chin, Lucy’s eyes narrowed, and her head bobbed.

It seemed that she could fall asleep at any time, and she did not even notice Jessica and Caspian’s interaction just now.
