The Story Never Ends

"Damn, she really attacked." Davion cursed inside but didn\'t try to pull back his hands. He wanted to test what this weird flame could do against his powerful physical body.

In a couple of seconds, his hands began burning as he hadn\'t released any trace of his spiritual energy to protect himself.

"This.." He was amazed by what happened next. His hands turned black and lost their vitality. Nonetheless, the strange thing was that he didn\'t feel a single ounce of pain during the whole process.

The flames then started spreading towards his upper body.

"It\'s enough.. She will definitely kill me at this rate." He was about to release his spiritual energy when the flames immediately stopped at once. Next, it steadily withdrew towards Siena.

"I\'m sorry. I couldn\'t contain my anger." She apologized, causing Davion to gaze at her in disbelief. He couldn\'t believe she could be this polite.

The other surprising thing was that his hands that had lost vitality magically recovered and he could freely move them as if nothing had happened.

"This should be okay I guess." She took back her hands and similarly gazed at him. Thus, the atmosphere became awkward with both looking at each other not knowing what to say.

But the first one to break the silence was Siena.

"First, I\'m not a thief."

"Second, I only heard your conversation so that I could learn more about this place like you."

"Third, and the last one, to prove my sincerity I am willing to show you my face." She didn\'t give a single chance to refute.

"You don\'t need to.." Davion hadn\'t even finished speaking when she simply grabbed her veil and lifted it up. As a result, he couldn\'t turn a blind eye to it.

"Wew" Davion blew cold air and mumbled, "Is this what a jade beauty means?"

With fiery orange hair, crystal clear skin, a pair of arched eyebrows, her enticing constellation-blue eyes, and red soft lips, she was the epitome of beauty.

"How long are you going to stare?" She scoffed and put down her veil. Afterward, she returned back to her seat and lowered her head. Nobody knew what she was thinking.

However, Davion would definitely have a nose bleed if he could see through her veil right now. Her face had become apple red due to shame adding a whole new layer to her beauty.

"How could I do that? What was I thinking?" Her mind had become a mess.

"Haiz, let\'s forget it. I believe he will trust me now." While she was thinking, Davion cleared his throat and finally spoke.

"Ahem-"

"Lady, if you are thinking of using your beauty to gain my trust then it won\'t work. I am a man of morals and virtues. Nevertheless, seeing your strong conviction to get away from here, I have decided to help you." Although he acted in a calm manner, his brain was still reminiscing about her face.

"Shameless." Siena cracked her knuckles in anger as she knew that he was clearly acting tough.

"Cut the act. I know all you men are the same." She replied in a disdainful tone.

"Haha, do you genuinely think so? Listening to your words makes me believe that you ran away from home. Especially from marriage." He joked with a cliché plotline from the novels he used to read.

"You can say so." She didn\'t deny it nor agreed upon it. This answer made him speechless.

"Doesn\'t this mean that her tribe will soon be coming after her, and I might get caught in some troubles? It seems like I have to return home soon." He made up his mind.

While he was in deep thought, all of a sudden, she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you. I will be in your care."

"No problem. Now can you tell me more about this white flame?" He asked. This was what he wanted to know since the moment he saw it.

"It\'s nothing much. But just a flame special to my tribe like how the Golden Flames is to the Golden Lion Tribe." She didn\'t want to explain any further.

"Is that so?" Davion was disappointed. He wanted to know if there were any ways to learn it. After all, this flame had recovering and healing properties that could aid him in a battle.

Regardless, seeing her being so resolute, he could only give up. So, he went to the topic that they had left earlier. "Then can you at least tell me what you meant by my tribe betraying the White Tiger Clan?"

"I don\'t know much. I only told you what was written in this book." She raised her right hand, and one of the books automatically flew from her previous desk and appeared in her hand.

"Here." She passed it to him.

From this book, he learned the history of the Flame Tiger Clan and how amazing they were. But the thing that caught his attention the most was the King of Flames.

"He should be the Ancestor of the Old Tiger from whom I obtained this weird tattoo and bloodline." He connected the dots and came to realize it.

"Siena, there isn\'t much information about betraying here. Do you know anything more?" He asked. Although he wasn\'t related to the Flame Tribe in any way, the answers to his tattoo could be somewhere here.

"No, I don\'t." She shook her head and questioned, "Actually, why did you take the risk to come here? You would be hunted down by the White Tiger Clan if they knew you were here."

"I wanted to know the truth. From what I was told, it was the Heavenly Demon Sect that destroyed my tribe. Thus, there is definitely something fishy here." This was told by the old tiger before his death.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect? Are you sure?" She cried out.

Davion could feel nervousness in her voice. This was to be expected as The Heavenly Demon Sect had a notorious reputation. Almost everybody feared them.

"Yes." He nodded.

"Does this mean that the Heavenly Demon Sect conspired with the White Tiger Clan?" She had a wild guess.

"This is a possibility." He didn\'t deny it.

"So, what do you want to do now? Investigate about the White Tiger Clan?" She asked.

"I will be seeking death if I tried to do that. The White Tiger Clan is not something I can deal with my current strength." He reasoned.

"Wise decision. I thought you would be blinded by revenge." She praised him.

"I\'m not that naïve. I know my limits." He smiled and continued.

"However, I will come back here in a couple of months after reaching the Venerable Stage." He declared with confidence.

"Haha, you are a strange one, aren\'t you? Do you think it is that easy?" She ridiculed him.

"Why do you doubt me?" He looked at her with interest. Currently, he was level 40 and he only needed to level up ten more times to reach that stage. It sounded quite easy.

"At the moment, you are only in the early stage of the Domain Realm. So, everyone in the right mind will laugh at you." She had noticed his cultivation base when he had released his aura to counter her coercion not long ago.

"Why don\'t we make a bet?" He suggested playfully.

"What bet?" She decided to go along. After all, it was impossible for one to reach the Venerable Stage in such a short time. This was even true for the geniuses of the Four Major Clans of the Demon Beast World.

"If I can accomplish it, then you will provide me with at least three spirit veins, and if.." Before he could finish his sentence, she interrupted him straight away.

"You.."

"Do you know how much a spirit vein is worth?"

"Not only that, but you are asking for three."

"You can forget about it." She waved her hand in annoyance.

"Hehe, did you think that you would lose?" He mocked her.

"Humph! I don\'t know where you get the confidence from. But I will remind you once again that it\'s not possible," she said.

"Just admit it. You are scared." He smirked.

"Fine. If you are so committed to it, then I will gladly accept your challenge. But instead of the spirit veins, I will give you a portion of my white flames." She boldly stated.

"Really?" He exclaimed with happiness written all over his face.

"Besides, if you lose, you have to do whatever I say for all your life. You can consider it as being my servant." She went harsh on him thinking that he would back away. But instead, he gladly accepted it.

"Deal."

In this way, Davion and the mysterious Siena became close with each other without knowing much about the other party. They read books together and shared their knowledge.

Moreover, Davion described the human world and his experiences while Siena did the same about her Phoenix Island. This continued for the whole night until the next day came. Only when it was noon, did they leave and proceed towards the Sky Heavens Restaurant.
