Chapter 1560
Juanita kneeled on the ground with tears in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Mr. Sebastian, I… I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I… I'm willing to do anything. Just don't kill me."
Sebastian's murderous intent remained, and her face turned pale in fear. In a desperate attempt, she took a bold step.
Suddenly, she unfastened the straps of her dress and let it fall to reveal her graceful silhouette. Her slender figure became visible under the soft, dim light. Her movements were elegant, and she was like a flower in full bloom, with every curve capturing the eye in a way that felt almost alive.
Juanita walked toward Sebastian with slow, deliberate steps as if floating on air. Her long hair swayed gently behind her, adding a touch of grace to her every movement.
Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke. Her voice was a mix of trembling sincerity and temptation. "Mr. Sebastian, p-please spare me."
Sebastian said, "You're the Holy Maiden of Cloudwarden Sacred Ground. What would they think if they knew you were willing to trade your body for survival? Imagine how they'd react if they found out."
Juanita didn't seem the least bit embarrassed. She leaned close to him and said, "Nothing matters more than staying alive. Please show me mercy."
Faced with her advances, Sebastian acted without hesitation. He pushed her to the ground and pounced on her. This wasn't about a lack of self-control or desire. With enemies hunting him and his injuries still not fully healed, he knew dual cultivation was the fastest way to recover.
Just as Sebastian had expected, Juanita wasn't a virgin, but that didn't stop him. She was skilled in pleasing men, knowing how to seduce and satisfy with a look or gesture. After a lovemaking session, he recovered from his injuries, and his cultivation base improved slightly.
"Are you satisfied, sir?" she asked as she quickly dressed.
"Not bad," Sebastian replied coldly. "I'll spare you this time. But tell your Holy Lord this—if he dares provoke me again, I will destroy his Cloudwarden Sacred Ground."
"Rest assured, sir. I will pass on your message." Once dressed, Juanita hurried out.
Her face filled with panic as she rushed back to the Cloudwarden Sacred Ground. Upon meeting the Holy Lord, Orville Prescott, she immediately dropped to her knees with a loud thud.
"Holy Lord, this is bad! Sebastian has killed the Holy Son!" Juanita's voice quivered with fear.
Orville's rage erupted instantly. His overwhelming aura shook the entire hall. "What? That Sebastian dares kill my Holy Son again?" His eyes blazed with fury as if flames were about to burst forth.
Juanita lowered her head and recounted her encounter with Sebastian. She deliberately omitted the part where she offered herself to survive.
After hearing her account, his face darkened. He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints cracked.
"Send my orders. Spare no expense to capture Sebastian. I want him alive so I can make him suffer a thousand deaths to relieve my rage!" Orville's roar echoed throughout the hall.
Soon, the news of the enormous bounty spread like wildfire through the martial world.
At a lively tavern, a group of people discussed the Cloudwarden Sacred Ground's reward.
"Did you hear? Cloudwarden Sacred Ground is offering a massive bounty to capture Sebastian. They're offering a billion spiritual stones, plus the Eternal Fruit and Ascension Elixir," one well-informed person said.
"The eternal fruit? What's that? Is it really that good?" someone nearby asked curiously.
"The fruit is no ordinary treasure!" another chimed in. "It's said to be packed with incredibly dense spiritual energy. Consuming it can extend your life by 100 years. The energy is so strong it feels like you're touching the very secrets of immortality. For those who seek eternal life, it's priceless."
The group couldn't help but gasp in awe.
