"You… you are Shin Jiao…" the young boy said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Hehe… You still remember me… That is good. I never would have thought that I would find you in this place... Lemy." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

The young boy's eyes became a bit shifty as he did not want to look at Shin Jiao. He has a feeling of slight guilt in his heart because he actually left the planet Gaeus Ro and arrives in the immortal land without anyone knowing.

His progression to the nascent realm is simple as he is a beast deity and has his own way to cultivate a perfect nascent body. He looks down on the people that might have helped him and view them as lower than himself.

This is the normal haughtiness of a beast deity that is naturally in him.

But at the same time, he is also feeling a bit guilty for not showing a thankful attitude to the young man who saved his life at that time.

Though his soul would not be destroyed, all of the things he acc.u.mulated as a beast deity would surely vanish once his soul would be absorbed by the flame dragon. Hence he should be grateful towards the human. But it seems that his old bad habits of not trusting human got the better of him at that time and just left without a word.

And now, they saw each other again and in the immortal land at that. He now knew that this human is not that simple as he could even reach this place.

"I never would have thought that a day would come that we will see each other again…" Lemy said with a sad tone.

"I am sorry for leaving just like that. I… I never would have thought that… that any of you has a chance to get to this place." He added.

"Haha… That is the past now. At least seeing that you are here, I am a bit happy to see an acquaintance." Shin Jiao replied while looking around.

"And this is…" he gestured towards the young woman.

He noticed that the young woman is actually looking at him with a slight blush on her face. Well, he could not blame her for showing such a reaction as he did not wear any disguise, and he already knew that he has that strong attraction towards most of the females he meets.

"Ah, this is the 5th young miss of the Hong family, Flora Hong…" Lemy replied with a slight smile.

The young woman bowed and greeted Shin Jiao.

"This lowly servant greets the young master…" she said in a humble tone.

When Shin Jiao heard this, he was a bit surprised. The young miss of the Hong noble house is calling herself a servant?

With a questioning gaze, he looks at Lemy.

"Sigh… she… she is an illegitimate child," Lemy said with a sigh.

"Hmm… How about you? How come you are in this place?" Shin Jiao asked with a hint of concern while looking around the misty bamboo forest.

"It's a long story, let's head inside the house," Lemy said as he led Shin Jiao inside the dilapidated small hut.

When she was about to be captured, Lemy was able to transform into a small bird-like creature and was imprisoned inside this bamboo forest ever since.

However, a few months ago, the Hong patriarch began visiting the young woman and told her of the plan of the Hong noble house to marry her to a family.

This made her feel a bit perplexed. But then, in these three years, Lemy himself has grown stronger and the bond between the two has grown stronger. So he decided to protect the young woman. When the Hong patriarch visited again, he was confronted with a black beast at a level of a Grand Magus which has sent him running out in fear.

That was around a month ago.

"Hmm… Interesting story… This place is actually a good place to hide. I wonder how the Hong noble house got their hand on a great formation array like this." Shin Jiao said while looking outside the window.

"I don't know about that either. This place is very mysterious. It might even be a deity level artifact…" Lemy said with a slight smile.

"Nah… It's not. I can easily decode the array formation in this place. It is not that complicated as you think it is…" Shin Jiao said with a wave of his hand.

"So… so you mean you can get in and out of this place? I… I thought that the Hong noble house has captured you and imprisoned you in this place too…" Lemy said with a surprised expression.

"Imprisoned?" Shin Jiao asked in a questioning tone.

"There are people in that place… Those are people whom the Hong noble house captured and imprisoned for a couple of years now. When I first came to this place, those guys are unruly… I just put them in their place." Lemy said with a slightly proud expression.

The haughty expression on the young boy's face made Shin Jiao remember the past.

He did not want to blame Lemy for leaving. Shin Jiao knew that he also has his own destiny to fulfill. And each of them has its own path to follow. So he did not take anything to heart.

Shin Jiao spread his spiritual sense and saw around 30 people in that place. Behind that bamboo house, there is a small garden where others are working on a small field.

"So do you plan to leave this place?" Shin Jiao asked with a smile.

"It is still too dangerous outside. The Hong noble house has a big force behind them…" Lemy said with a shake of his head.

"It's fine… I am here to eliminate the patriarch of the Hong noble house." Shin Jiao said.

When he said that, the tray that the young woman is holding shook and the cups on it fell to the ground.

"You… you are going to kill… to kill my… my father?" Flora Hong suddenly said with a trembling tone.

"Your father is hunting me and is trying to kill me. If I do not do anything, are you saying that I should just put my neck on the line and die without a fight?"

After hearing Shin Jiao's words, Flora Hong kept her silence while looking on the ground biting her lips. One could see the complex emotion in her eyes.

"Flora… do you want to be free?" Lemy suddenly asked.

Flora Hong was a bit taken aback upon hearing the word freedom. She did not want to say it, but that is what she is yearning for deep in her heart.

Ever since she was born and her mother left this world when she was 5-years-old, she was cruelly treated by her own family. Although she is a young miss of the Hong noble house, she was treated like a slave.

3 years ago, she seems to have snapped out when she was forced to marry someone and decided to escape, but it was futile. She was imprisoned in this place with her new friend she found while escaping. She has suffered a lot but in her heart, she still hopes that her father would look at her favorably someday.

But it seems that it would not come. But hearing the words that her father would be killed made her feel a slight pain in her heart.

"Young miss… I will not try to convince you. But, I suggest that you forget the hope in your heart that your father will look favorably towards you. The noble houses do not welcome illegitimate children. They would only treat you like a slave. I'm sure you are aware of that, right?"

Flora Hong did not say anything and just turn around and enter her room.

"Do what you came here to do… I will look after her."

"Alright, I will visit you again after this… old friend…" Shin Jiao said while patting the head of Lemy.

"Hey, I'm not a child you know…" Lemy protested.

"Haha… I know, you just look cute… Hahaha…" Shin Jiao laughed while leaving the hut.

He is happy to see his old friend once again.

As Shin Jiao left the hut, a pair of eyes are glued on his back while watching his figure from inside the small window of the hut. A complex emotion shrouded the air around Flora Hong as turmoil began to spread throughout her young heart.
