Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 362 Betrayal?

Alice had never imagined someone could sit in one place for ten days straight.

This was probably the longest she had ever been in a meditative state since becoming a Soulmancer. She chose to believe William’s words without hesitation.

On reflection, she realized she had entered a deep meditative state, feeling refreshed as if reborn.

Was this what transformation felt like?

It was an exhilarating feeling that made her forget time and hunger, even more satisfying than the first time she had recited the entire “Canon of Medicine”.

Just as Alice was coming back to her senses, she saw Sofia walking out of the kitchen, holding a plate of freshly washed cherries.

No, it must be Seraphina!

Although Sofia and Seraphina shared the same body, their tones and expressions were distinct, and Alice could easily tell them apart. She felt indifferent towards Sofia, a shy girl who spoke softly and was hard to dislike.

But Seraphina was different.

Alice had complex feelings about Seraphina, perceiving her almost like a seductive femme fatale from the movies. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮

“Why is she here?” Alice thought, her memory still lingering on the events of ten days ago, feeling as if only a morning had passed.

For her, it felt like just yesterday, she was intimately in bed with William, almost getting involved. But today, when she woke up, she found an extra woman in the room, walking around like the lady of the house…

This brought a wave of confusion and unease to Alice, making her feel deceived as if a storm had suddenly hit on a sunny day, turning everything chaotic.

William chuckled, “She’s been here for three days.”

Alice’s mouth fell open slightly, interpreting William’s words as: “You’ve been betrayed for three days.”

“Who are you talking to?” Seraphina sat down on the stone stool next to Alice, placing the cherries on the stone table. She smiled charmingly and flirtatiously, saying, “Try these cherries, they are quite fresh.”

What?!

Alice couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. This infernal succubus was sitting right beside her, blatantly ignoring her presence?

Pretending she couldn’t see her, right?

Before Alice could react, William dispelled the illusion on Alice and smiled, “I was talking to her.”

Seraphina, just about to pop a cherry into her mouth, paused in surprise upon seeing Alice suddenly appear.

There was a moment of astonishment and a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly regained her usual smile and appraised Alice, saying, “Not bad at all! You’ve made another breakthrough in just a few days.”

Alice, unaware of the illusion William had cast on her, responded somewhat disgruntledly to Seraphina, “I thought you couldn’t see me? Now you can?”

Before Seraphina could reply, William interjected, “She couldn’t see you just now. Go take a shower, and have some fruit when you come out.”

“Huh?” Alice didn’t understand what William meant by ‘couldn’t see her just now,’ but took his word for it.

“I’ll go shower then…” Alice, usually obedient to William, didn’t linger to argue with Seraphina and got up to shower.

“I made you a set of clothes. They’re in the bedroom. See if you like them.”

William looked up at Alice. His gaze was as usual, but to Alice, it felt full of affection.

She had been sitting there for ten days, and naturally needed a change of clothes for her shower.

William had made her a new outfit, which was enough to make her forget all the discomfort.

“I’ll go check it out!” Alice beamed with joy, her heart filled with happiness.

When she entered the bedroom, she saw a neatly laid out blue and white evening gown on the bed.

Beneath the evening gown, there were also lingerie and panties.

Alice gently touched the evening gown,she was a wealthy heiress and was no stranger to such dresses, but she had never worn one before. The gown on the bed, in terms of fabric, craftsmanship, and the exquisitely embroidered exotic flowers, was so beautiful that one couldn’t help but like it.

Especially when she saw the lingerie, Alice couldn’t help but blush again, her young heart fluttering.

Betrayal?

How could that be possible?

Seraphina, that succubus, certainly didn’t receive such treatment!

She carried the clothes out of the bedroom.

Suddenly, William called out, “There are some herbs in the bathtub, and I’ve already heated the water for you. You need to soak for an hour.”

“Oh.” Alice exchanged a shy glance with William and walked into the bathroom with small, cautious steps, her head lowered.

Seraphina sat across from William and said with a smile, “No wonder you asked me to heat water every day. So that’s why.”

William didn’t know when Alice would wake up from her deep meditative state. Just as Seraphina arrived and asked for his help, these mundane tasks naturally fell to her.

The herbs in the bathtub were also gathered by Seraphina from the newly emerged continent.

At first, Seraphina thought these herbs were for her use, but she never expected that they were all reserved for Alice.

Heating water every day without using it was just waiting for Alice to wake up after her breakthrough.

William ignored what Seraphina said and looked at the Eternal Vine planted in the corner, “You’ve done well these past three days. Tomorrow, I’ll help you separate your soul from Sofia.”

Indeed, Seraphina had performed well, handling tasks like chores, and gathering herbs, acting like a competent servant.

“Thank you, ” Seraphina smiled, then asked, “Are you still taking apprentices?”

“No, I won’t take any more disciples!” William decisively refused, leaving no room for negotiation.

He himself didn’t know why he had impulsively taken Alice as a disciple in the first place.

Now Seraphina wanted to become his disciple? Impossible.

Seraphina smiled with dimples showing, saying, “I just think being your disciple is truly good. With Alice’s talents, if she hadn’t met you, she probably could never have become a Soulmancer in her life. But now, it seems she might become a being akin to a Lesser Deity in the future.”

William remained silent. A Lesser Deity? Still too weak!

But as Seraphina said, Alice’s talents were always too poor. Even if William did everything he could, she might not be able to reach the level he expected.

After all, being overly eager to accelerate the process of development might actually lead to worse results.

Seraphina sat there, her eyes shimmering. Being rejected as a disciple was within her expectations, but she still felt somewhat unwilling to give up, saying, “If I reshape my body, may I serve at your side?”

William glanced at her. The meaning in Seraphina’s eyes was quite clear.

‘Serving at his side’ essentially meant she was willing to be in any role William wanted, without seeking any formal status.

“Once you’ve reshaped your body, kill someone for me, and that’s all,” William said. These past few days, he had been in the courtyard guarding Alice or making an evening dress, letting those ‘Chosen Ones’ be. In these ten days, they must have made some progress.

He had previously agreed to help Seraphina reshape her body, but on the condition that she kill someone, thereby severing the Law of Cause and Effect.
