Chapter - 3444

"I really want to kill you right now!" Vesper hissed, her teeth gritting in rage.

Zeke spread his hands. "You always keep me guessing. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to, you know."

"I don't think you want to know about that last one." Vesper suddenly sneered, "If you meet her, you'll probably end up as a tool. You could at least live a little longer if you're with me."

"Huh? Really?" Zeke felt a chill down his spine. That third prodigy sounds quite scary.

"Yes. She's in the third group that'll come here, so she'll arrive in about a month. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to her. I reckon she'll find you quite to her liking, and you'll fetch a pretty good price." Vesper's eyes narrowed.

The corner of Zeke's mouth twitched twice. "You know what, I think staying with you isn't so bad. Don't forget your promise. Once the secret realm is closed, you have to let me go."

"You're fascinating." Vesper chuckled.

With a casual flick of her wrist, she conjured several beams of heaven's energy and tossed them to Zeke.

Zeke's breath hitched slightly because those beams of heaven's energy were all in the late stage of Sun and Moon Class!

Initially, Zeke missed his previous team.

He missed Anvindr and the others, hoping to hunt depraved spirits with them again.

However, a successful hunt demanded a great cost, and it was necessary to share the spoils evenly among everyone.

It wasn't too bad because they were a team capable of hunting down depraved spirits in the late stage of Sun and Moon Class.

However, that paled in comparison with Vesper, who could casually summon beams of heaven's energy belonging to the late stage of Sun and Moon Class.

Zeke wouldn't have expected Vesper to bestow upon him such a precious gift and beamed. "You are truly generous, Lord Vesper!"

Upon hearing those words, Vesper sneered, her eyes filled with mockery. "So, you're the type of man who won't say anything nice unless he gets something in return, aren't you?"

"Huh?" Zeke was taken aback.

"Not at all. Even without your generosity, I'd still say good things about you, Vesper. Your magnanimity matches your unparalleled beauty, and your smile alone can enchant anyone."

Vesper sneered with mockery before speaking nonchalantly. "If I bestow upon you some more heaven's energy, will you lick my shoes?"

Upon hearing that, Zeke frowned, a look of helplessness settled on his handsome face. All I did was compliment her a few times. Is it really necessary for her to make such an outrageous demand?

"Vesper, that's too much. I won't do it!" Zeke disagreed because that was his bottom line.

"I see. Well, focus on your cultivation. We'll continue our journey tomorrow." Vesper then stopped paying attention to Zeke.

Promptly, she sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest.

She may be a witch, but she's exceedingly beautiful. I like her long eyelashes. Even for someone as resolute as Zeke, he couldn't help but take a few extra glances at her before he hastily consumed heaven's energy for cultivation.

His cultivation progressed rapidly. For reasons unknown, he didn't detect any dark aura within the heaven's energy, and there was no need for him to dispel anything.

Still, he speculated, This must be Vesper's handiwork. After all, their knowledge about the Dark Swamp surely surpassed my own.

After his absorption of heaven's energy was complete, it was already nearing dawn.

Zeke opened his eyes. Feeling the overwhelming spiritual energy within him, he was excited.

At that moment, he felt that even if he were to encounter a depraved spirit in the late stage of Sun and Moon Class, he could stand his ground against them.

He might not be powerful enough to kill them yet, but he could face them properly.

Despite his overwhelming joy, he noticed something was amiss and turned his gaze toward Vesper.

"Vesper, why didn't you devour the heaven's energy?" Zeke found it quite odd.

He noticed Vesper hadn't enhanced her abilities during the entire night. She merely rested with her eyes closed. As such, he had no idea what she was really up to. Even a demonic cultivator still needs heaven's energy to boost their strength, right?

With a nonchalant demeanor, Vesper raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing his words.
