Death... and me

Chapter 2964: She Should Be Back Soon

It was the first time Ariana truly felt threatened, and the other part was only a Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm expert. Nonetheless, every fiber in her body was telling her that she absolutely shouldn't antagonize this young man. "Ve... very well."

She quickly recovered, though. She couldn't look to be afraid of them. "Attend me."

Immediately, the room door opened, and a few of the women who were in the room previously returned. "Yes, Lady Ariana."

"Go back to the palace and fetch me my savings. Larissa, you know the code to the secret formation. Bring me everything in there," Ariana ordered.

Larissa didn't expect that. What could the twins have offered that was worth Ariana's savings? Of course, she knew better than to ask. "As you wish, Lady Ariana."

Larissa left with the other women for the palace, leaving Rean, Roan, and Ariana behind. Rean took that chance to ask since he was curious. "You said your status was special? Earlier, when Roan commented about your power in the Royal Family, the women before had quite weird expressions. Why is that?"

Roan glanced at Rean. 'Why ask such obvious, complicated things? I better not try to get involved in this shit.'

Rean faintly smiled. The woman was planning to kill them a moment ago, so he obviously had no intention to help her. He was just curious.

Ariana sat back on her chair and sighed. She pondered a bit and then touched her face. Right after, her features changed, quickly changing into someone else's appearance.

At first, Rean and Roan didn't look surprised. They knew she was using some technique to hide her appearance. However, when she finished changing, even Roan had to admit he was a little startled this time, let alone Rean. "Queen?"

Indeed, the woman in front of them was none other than Queen Amelia... or so the two of them thought for a moment. However, who were the twins? They quickly noticed something was wrong. "No, you look extremely alike, but your bodies have a few sudden changes." Ariana couldn't help but laugh a little. "Hehehe. There aren't many people out there who can tell I'm not Amelia that fast. However, I believe you two know what I really am."

How could the twins not know? Rean and Roan are exactly the same. "You are her twin sister?"

"I told you, my situation was a little special," Ariana answered with a nod. "Although we are twins, we are quite different, especially when it comes to our talents. Amelia is already at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, and she has been there for quite a while. What about me? I started cultivating at the same time as her; I put as much effort as her, if not more, and yet, here I am, a Middle Stage Elemental Transformation Realm expert. It is laughable."

Roan didn't feel the least bit of pity. Roan knew different talents existed, but he absolutely didn't believe it was enough to determine the outcome of one's future. "Hmph! Truly nothing but a kid. What are you complaining about? How many people out there would love to be in this position of yours? Quit the complaining bullshit and focus on yourself. There is no lack of cultivators on this planet who can't even reach the Energy Gathering Realm. Your problems are no more than a joke."

Rean smiled after hearing that. The number of people in the System Sect with no talent was the highest. Highly talented individuals were rare, after all. Yet, Roan's training methods cared not about talent. Some of the strongest experts of the System Sect back then were exactly those considered to have no talent, a bunch of Gray, Yellow, and Brown color talents. Ariana bitterly smiled. She truly felt like she was speaking with a senior. "Perhaps you are right, but it is not easy to simply ignore that Bright Sun rising in front of you. In any case, because I'm the queen's twin sister, I have several limitations. Nowadays, I'm more of a substitute when that sister of mine wanders off somewhere without anyone knowing. Yet, if I get this Body Cultivation Technique of yours, perhaps I can catch up to her a little. This is the shadow in my heart."

"Whatever," Roan decided to simply ignore it. "Whether you realize Amelia doesn't matter or not, it is not my problem. Come here and sit in a lotus position. I'll teach you our Body Cultivation Technique, brat."

Ariana did as she was told by instinct. Roan then touched her forehead and transferred the knowledge of the Starlight Body Cultivation. Of course, the one he gave away was the normal Starlight Body Cultivation he learned back in the Mortal Realm. The Yin Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique only worked for the twins and no one else.

Ariana digested the information that reached her mind. Finally, she understood just how magical the technique was. "Stellar Energy... To think such a thing existed. Refining materials into one's body, there are some body cultivation techniques that use that method, but none of those I know get anywhere near the efficiency described in your technique."

"Stop fucking wasting my time and focus," Roan demanded. "Close your eyes, let your mind wander, and find your own star. Just Starlight Energy is of no use. If you try to absorb Stellar Energy from Stars that are not yours, your progress will so slow that even the worst Body Cultivation Techniques will look like Heaven."

"Yes, sir!" Ariana answered straight away and focused.

At some point, Larissa returned with the other girls, carrying Ariana's savings in a Spatial Ring. However, the situation was quite weird in the room. Ariana was sitting in a Lotus Position in front of Roan while Roan looked at her with a cold expression, his arms crossed. Not only that, but Ariana was not hiding her appearance anymore. Just what happened during the time they were out?

Rean smiled at the girls. "Shhh... Don't make much noise. It is an important moment for her. She should be back soon."
