Novel Full Chapter 232 Questioning Mom
Being a cultivator and a particularly rich one at that, Tamor’s caravan employed the use of beasts to pull along their wagons and carriages.
Throughout the rest journey, the legs of the beasts driving the carriage thundered, enabling the caravan to cover thousands of miles in hours.
Some 4 hours since Tamor left Seth and Irene alone in what had once been his beloved carriage, the carriages came to a stop, and seconds later Tamor came to Seth and Irene’s carriage door bearing good news.
“Miss Irene, just as you requested, there is a river nearby”
“Oh thank you,” Irene said pushing open the door and immediately walking out, this time pulling Seth along with her.
“Miss Wait,” Tamor said to the pair who had already begun heading towards the river showing that they didn’t need directions.
“What is it,” Irene asked with a frown.
So far, Irene had a good impression of Tamor, but as a woman, the fact that she had been covered in filth and had actually smelt had irritated her beyond the calm face she had put on.
Despite the pain which using her soulsense brought her, she hadn’t hesitated to use it to quickly find the River Tamor had mentioned.
Now here was Tamor calling her back, to Irene, the man should have been smart enough to understand the direness of her situation, figuring out that she wouldn’t want to display her messy self in public.
Tamor as a man with two wives and his share of daughters understood Irene’s grievances and seeing the frown and irritation on Irene’s face, he quickly replied to her.
“Supplies and Clothes for you and your son Madame,” Tamor said, raising a stack of neatly folded clothes that had two rings at the top.
Tamor had his hands up and his head bowed to show his remorse that he had to stop Irene in her haste, so he didn’t notice the change in expressions that occurred immediately after his words.
When a second passed and he noticed the clothes still in his hands he looked up to see the problem, and when he saw Seth’s eyes narrowed at him and Irene’s eyes sparkling with excitement, he quickly went over his words and found what was most likely the problem.
Figuring out the problem, Tamor’s face paled as he imagined he had made the last mistake of his life, but then Irene’s soothing voice sounded.
“Thank you Tamor, we’ll be on the upper banks,” Irene said, and without further delay pulled the still-stunned Seth.
Watching them go, Tamor’s heart palpated as he wondered if he should use this opportunity to flee for his life.
With how Seth had unabashedly looked at his wives, and how he obediently listened to Irene who looked older than him, Tamor had proudly guessed that Irene was Seth’s mother, but in the end, it seemed he was wrong.
Tamor thought of abandoning everything and leaving with just his family and guards, he was sure they could cover sufficient ground and be out of the reach of the pair.
….
For fear of harming her, and seeing no reason to resist, Seth let Irene pull him up all through the short journey to the upper level of the stream.
He watched as she gently placed the clothes Tamor had given her to the side and then rapidly get rid of the muddied and bloodied ones she had on, take out washing supplies from the space ring, and then moved up.
The river wasn’t a particularly big one, with a width of about 2km and going more than 20 feet deep seeing as how Irene had her breast downward submerged in water when she moved close to its center.
Seth took a few seconds to get used to the chill of the water and then submerged himself in it, appearing a few seconds later beside Irene’s bathing figure.
“Shouldn’t you be on the lookout, it will be a shame if I have to kill Tomar because one of his guards couldn’t control themselves” Irene said her back to the surfacing Seth.
“Killing him for the sins of his servants is that brutal,” Seth said walking up behind Iren and pulling her into his grasp.
“Seth please don’t,” Irene said holding Seth’s arms which wanted to grab her breasts,” I wouldn’t be able to satisfy you”.
“Are you sure, you’ve been quite lively since you woke up” Seth said, his arms leaving her body as he moved so he was facing her.
“Like I told you, this isn’t my first time being hit with a soul attack, while it would take longer, I would still heal, and from the look of things it would seem am recovering faster than expected, ” Irene said with a smile.
“If you say so,” Seth said his voice dripping with a lot of doubt which had Irene slightly pausing.
“So how did you get to know about it,” Seth asked, moving away from Irene and sitting in a far more shallow area, no need to punish himself by staring at a meal he couldn’t consume.
“‘ Know about what,” Irene asked.
“The soul fruits, where did you get your information about them from, and why are you looking for them” Seth decide to ask.
“I have my ways” Irene muttered to Seth’s audibility, her answer bringing a slight frown to Seth’s face as he hadn’t expected her to still be so tightlipped.
Deciding not to put pressure on the issue, Seth decided to move on to a more impactful topic.
“So far you’ve only given me direction, what can you tell me about where we’re going?” Seth asked rubbing his hand through his hair.
“We’ll be there soon” Irene quietly reply, earning herself Seth’s narrowed eyes.𝑜𝒱𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t
“I know, but tell me what exactly should I be expecting,” Seth asked standing up and moving toward Irene.
“I’ll tell you when we get there” Irene replied, sensing Seth’s movement and beginning to walk away from him.
Unfortunately, Seth wasn’t going to let her go that easily as he immediately moved close to her and grabbed her arm.
“What do..” Seth was about to ask as he pulled Irene back, but the ice spear rising out of the water and shooting moving towards him as Irene turned to face him had him cut his sentence short.
