32 Ch 32: An Outsider?

By the time Emrys successfully learned the Flying Blade Skill, Rohan, and Cairo also arrived one after another. The two of them had successfully nurtured their Soul Marks and strengthened their Origin Skills.

Emrys stopped practicing and the three of them once again started their journey, ready to investigate the situation here.

As they walked deeper and deeper into the forest, they started getting closer and closer to the mountain range.

Just like that, two days passed. During these two days, the group surprisingly did not come across a stronger Soul Beast. The strongest they fought and killed were only Intermediate-leveled Bronze Soul Beasts.

Emrys only earned an extra 1,200 Soul Points during these two days, bringing his Soul Points to 2,822.

'Hmm? What is that?'

While the three of them were walking, Emrys froze. He smelled a strange fragrance in the air. This fragrance was more like the fragrance of a... A woman!

"What happened?"

Rohan and Cairo frowned when they saw Emrys stopping. They could not help but dart a questioning look at Emrys.

Instead of answering them, Emrys said, "You guys wait for me here. Don't move around, lest you fall in a greater danger!"

Not giving the two of them a chance to ask any further, Emrys used Node Shift to disappear, appearing 200 meters away in the direction from where he smelled the fragrance of a woman.

Emrys wanted to see who it was. If it is really a person, they might know something about this place that he doesn't.

'This...'

However, a few minutes later, he was startled and stopped in his tracks. He was currently standing not far from a small lake. The tantalizing fragrance lingered in the air around this lake.

However, at this moment, these things no longer mattered because right in front of him was something he couldn't take his eyes off.

A girl could be seen bathing in the middle of the lake. This girl was swaying her slender hands around the water. Her fair skin and straight breasts were faintly discernible. They were something that people could fantasize about. She looked like a flower that had emerged from the water with her wet long hair that casually draped over her shoulders.

Under the contrast of the watery mist, she looked like a fairy in the water.

The scene in front of him was something that could make a person's blood boil. It was extremely attractive. It was something that men dreamt of, and Emrys was no exception. He stared blankly at the beautiful scene in front of him, and for a short time, he was unable to extricate himself from it. A warm current began to surge in his body.

'Oh no!'

Although his heart was in a mess, Emrys instantly reacted and came back to his senses.

Laura, who was taking a bath, was also shocked by noises coming from a certain direction. She looked over and saw Emrys there. He was looking at her with an innocent and stunned face.

Laura's pretty face instantly turned red. She had never been in such a situation before. Her eyes immediately turned cold. The way she looked at Emrys was filled with fury. She felt ashamed.

"Pervert! How dare you? Haven't you seen enough?"

Laura gritted her teeth and shouted at Emrys. This person was simply too shameless to peek at her bathing.

Emrys frantically turned around. He knew that under such circumstances, it was useless for him to explain. He could only think of a way to calm Laura and not misunderstand him.

Laura was incomparably ashamed and resentful. The moment he turned around, she quickly got out of the lake. At lightning speed, she wrapped her perfect and flawless body with the clothes. Then she marched right in front of Emrys with an ugly and disgusted expression.

"You shameless bastard. I will dig your eyes out!"

The tone of her voice was so cold that Emrys was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Laura's aura bloom. Before he knew it, a terrifying palm power flew towards his body.

'An Advanced Bronze Soul Master!'

Emrys was startled. This girl in front of him was definitely a formidable opponent.

Without thinking too much, a powerful Soul Force surrounded his body.

Emrys took a step forward and then moved to the side while lowering his body slightly, successfully dodging Laura's palm.

"Stop. You misunderstood me. Let me explain!" Emrys retreated and tried to explain. Unfortunately, Laura was in no mood to listen.

"There is no need to explain anything. I won't be listening to your excuses."

Laura shouted angrily and chased after retreating Emrys.

Emrys frowned and thought, 'She really is determined to dig my eyes out.'

A bitter smile appeared on Emrys's face. He then stopped in his tracks. He turned to face Laura, who also stopped and was looking at him coldly.

"Why did you stop? Are you finally going to let me dig out your eyes?"

Laura asked coldly. She approached Emrys with slow but heavy steps.

"Look, I smelled a unique fragrance in the air and thought that there might be other people in this forest who may have some information that I don't. I thought of meeting and exchanging information. I never expected to see you bathing. Believe me, it was not my intention. Still, since it is my fault, I apologize. I'm sorry!"

Emrys apologized sincerely. No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, Emrys had to be polite to her since it was indeed his fault. After all, he had indeed alarmed her just now.

To Emrys's surprise, Laura stopped in her tracks. She thought of something and her face changed. The next moment, a powerful soul force started rising from her body, making the surrounding's temperature drop suddenly.

Strange coldness chilled the air. The girl, obviously beautiful a moment ago, seemed to be possessed by a devil. She muttered, "So, you're an outsider. Not only did you peek at me bathing, but you also saw my face. I will no longer be satisfied with merely gouging out your eyes; I will kill you now to prevent any future trouble that might arise!"

What the...?

Emrys was stunned. He could not comprehend this girl's way of thinking. What happened? What does she mean when she said he was an outsider and saw her face?

What about the face?

Does she think she is so beautiful that no one is qualified to see how she looks?
