Chapter 664 Preparation
“…”
Max watched her leave with a blank look on his face before he smiled.
“Such an interesting girl.” He muttered before sighing, “What a pity!”
Then he also turned around and walked toward the Ice Dome.
Meanwhile, Elder Bajj watched him leave before looking at Pauline, who had sat down cross-legged on a nearby boulder, his eyes gleaming.
“It would be good if Young Miss could make him our family’s son-in-law.”
…
When he entered the Ice Dome, Sera was trying to make Emily drink a golden liquid.
Seeing she hadn’t woken up, he sighed but was relieved when he noticed her wounds were healing steadily.
‘Still, this won’t do. She needs to recover and rest properly before we have to move again.’
Thinking this, he sat down cross-legged and took out the half-used mana crystal.
Looking at it, she sighed.
Though it seemed the mana crystals were great since only half of one had helped him recover around fifty percent of his bloodline energy, something that should’ve needed tens of thousands of mid grade mana stones, but once he broke through to the Five Star, King rank or Emperor rank and his bloodline energy became stronger, the amount of mana crystals he would need would multiply several folds.
‘How foolish I was to think I wouldn’t need resources to cultivate since I have the system!’ He thought. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cm
The next moment, he suppressed the useless thoughts and started recovering his bloodline energy.
Ten minutes later, the mana crystal had turned lusterless, all of its mana having sucked dry.
Hu!
Max exhaled a deep breath and opened his eyes.
Once again, he had recovered fifty percent of his total bloodline energy.
Glancing over, he saw Emily’s condition was better than it was ten minutes ago, probably thanks to the golden liquid Sera gave her.
Sera and Lily were sitting cross-legged in a corner, several hundred mid grade mana stones strewn in front of them, replenishing their mana.
When he rose to his feet and walked toward Emily, they opened their eyes.
Max took out two mana crystals and tossed them toward them. “I’ll help her recover. You guys use these and recover.”
The duo caught the crystals and wanted to refuse, but Max had turned his back toward them, causing them to sigh.
“It’s alright. We shouldn’t refuse every time.” Sera smiled at Lily.
Lily nodded, taking a deep breath.
Though she had cultivated on the Ice Sovereign Mountain, her master never had enough mana crystals. Though it wasn’t like she needed them to increase her cultivation with the enormous amount of resources she had at her disposal.
With that said, it was the first time she was using a mana crystal, and that too to replenish her mana, not to cultivate. Knowing their worth, she couldn’t help but feel it was a waste, but if they wanted to save time, they were indeed the best option.
Moreover, just as Sera said, it wasn’t good if they objected every time.
Swoosh!
With a wave of her hand, she put away the mana stones, gripped the crystal in her palm, and closed her eyes.
On the side, Sera did the same.
…
When Emily opened her eyes, she saw Max sitting beside her, looking at her with a smile.
“…sorry.” She whispered in a low voice, her consciousness still hazy.
In response, she watched as he shook his head, leaned over, and…
Pat!
…flicked her forehead.
“Ah, what are you doing?”
She muttered, the subtle pain causing her to wince.
“There is nothing you should be sorry for.” She heard him.
Rubbing her forehead, she unconsciously pouted her lips and huffed, “Yeah, there is not. And you, don’t ever flick me. I’m older than you.”
While her eyes widened at her strange, childlike behavior, in embarrassment, she saw Max’s grin widen, which made her want to punch him.
“So what?” He asked,
In these few seconds, her head had cleared up, helping her regain control of her emotions.
So, she didn’t respond and kept quiet, her expression turning indifferent.
But then she saw him stare at her, unblinking, prompting her to ask, “What?”
“You… looked adorable just now.” He said before adding in a serious tone, “Don’t always wear this cold and indifferent mask. Sometimes, try showing your emotions too.”
Emily knitted her brows at his words. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end stayed silent.
Seeing this, Max didn’t continue on the topic and said, “Come on, sit up and cultivate. We need to be fully recovered before it’s time to move again.”
Emily nodded and sat up. When she was about to take out mana stones, Max stopped her and gave her a mana crystal.
“Use this, but be careful.” “This… is this a mana crystal?” Emily asked, a flicker of shock flashing in her eyes.
“Yes, it is.” Max nodded. “Don’t waste time now.”
She took a deep breath and nodded. However, just as she was about to close her eyes, she looked down at her and narrowed her eyes at him.
“You cleaned me?” “Huh?” Max looked at her and noticed she was indeed clean, with no hint of blood on her body or clothes.
“No, I did not. They did.” He said, pointing toward Lily and Sera.
“Okay.” Emily nodded when she saw them, her heart calming down.
Seeing she had started cultivating, he also sat down in a corner and took out another mana crystal.
Just now, to heal her injuries, he had used up over ten percent of his bloodline energy, leaving less than forty percent in reserve.
Given how dangerous the situation was going to be, he needed to have his tank full.
‘But just recovering bloodline energy wouldn’t be enough if I have to face multiple peak Five Star demons.’ He mused,
The only way he could come out victorious if the odds were stacked so much against him was by using the Death Energy.
However, to use it, he would need Nascent Energy to protect his mana pathways. Even before that, he needed it to heal the damage the Death Energy had done to them after using it two times.
‘I need to get some Nascent energy.’ He thought, glancing at Lily and Sera.
