LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Jun said nothing more to Bianca and casually walked out of the underground palace.

Watching Jun’s departing figure, Bianca’s face was twisted with rage.

“Ah!”

She screamed.

Her voice was filled not only with resentment but also with regret.

It was as if a fox spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years was suddenly reverted to its original form by an old Taoist priest over a trivial matter.

Hate!

Resentment!

Anger!

But there was nothing she could do!

Had she known this would happen, she would have first mastered the Palm-of-the-Hand Gazing at Mountains and Rivers Technique!

If she had known that one day she would be ruined by Jun because of a woman like Phoenix…

She would never have provoked Jun!

But.

The situation was already set.

Even if she regretted it now, it was too late!

Little did she know, this was just one of the calamities in Bianca’s life.

Many years later, Bianca would eventually become one of Jun’s nemeses.

However, Jun was also her nemesis!

Moreover, as long as Jun was alive, Bianca couldn’t stir up much trouble.

As Jun walked out of the underground palace, he saw that besides Dane and Lillian standing guard outside, there was another woman.

This person was Margaret.

Upon seeing Jun, Margaret bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Dragon Lord!”

Jun was about to tell her to dispense with the formalities, but knowing her nature, he didn’t refuse and instead asked,

“Have you been in Spirit Town all this time?”

Margaret nodded.

“Yes.”

Jun asked again,

“What are your plans? Will you stay in Spirit Town or return to Mount Emei?”

Margaret replied,

“I will return to Mount Emei!”

Jun thought for a moment and nodded.

“Very well. I am also heading back; you may accompany me.”

Margaret’s eyes lit up with joy.

“Thank you, Dragon Lord!”

Jun chuckled and asked,

“Do you know what happened inside?”

Margaret glanced at the underground palace behind Jun and replied,

“I am aware.”

Jun said,

“From now on, Bianca is your responsibility. Keep a close watch on her. If she commits any more evil deeds after coming of age, kill her.”

Margaret was slightly startled but replied respectfully,

“Yes, Dragon Lord!”

Jun then asked,

“Where are Clive and the others?”

Margaret answered,

“They are discussing matters in Taiji Hall.”

Jun casually asked,

“What matters?”

Margaret whispered,

“It seems they want you to become the King of Spirit Town.”

Jun frowned.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Arriving at Taiji Hall, Jun saw that both Clive and Fabian were present.

Seeing Jun finally emerge, Clive and Fabian stood up immediately.

Especially Fabian, who quickly approached Jun with concern.

“Jun, has the poison in your body been cured?”

Jun smiled.

“It’s been fine for a long time.”

Fabian was slightly taken aback, seemingly misunderstanding something, and said in a serious tone,

“Although Samanthab cured your poison, that woman has a questionable background. In the future… you must not indulge in women!”

Jun’s face twitched.

“You misunderstand; I cured the poison myself. It has nothing to do with Samanthab.”

Fabian clearly didn’t believe him.

“Jun, there’s no need to hide such things from Uncle Fabian. We all understand. Moreover, I’m not criticizing Samanthab without reason; it’s just that…”

At this point, Fabian didn’t continue, as if there were serious unspoken issues.

Jun frowned.

“Just what?”

Fabian pulled Jun aside and whispered,

“Your Aunt Kayla has been staying with Samanthab all these years. Her heart is with her. During your seclusion, your Aunt Kayla didn’t even cook for me but made soup for Samanthab every evening!”

“I’m not afraid of being laughed at… Are you leaving Spirit Town? If you do, please take that troublesome woman Samanthab with you to save me from further annoyance!”

“…”

After hearing Fabian’s complaints, Jun was speechless.

What kind of situation is this?

But thinking about Samanthab and Kayla’s previous behavior and their unusual relationship, it did seem extraordinary.

As Jun pondered this, Kayla suddenly emerged from behind the hall screen, carrying a tray with some snacks and a bowl of soup.

Seeing this scene, Jun couldn’t help but frown and glance outside…

It was indeed evening.

Fabian’s face turned dark as he saw Kayla place the snacks and soup on the table in the hall. He then said to Jun in a deep voice,

“What did I say? Was I lying? How did I end up in such a situation!”

Jun forced a smile and said,

“Don’t overthink it. Maybe it’s just… sisterly affection after spending so much time together!”

Fabian glared and said,

“That’s too deep! She even calls her name in her dreams! And she won’t let me touch her!”

Jun grimaced and said,

“I can’t help with this. Don’t tell me about it.”

Fabian grumbled angrily.

At that moment, Kayla glanced over and saw Jun. She smiled slightly and said,

“Jun, you’re out of seclusion.”

Jun smiled back.

“Aunt Kayla.”

Kayla hesitated for a moment before asking,

“Do you have some time now? I have a few words I’d like to say to you.”

Jun was taken aback.

“What words?”

Kayla pursed her lips and beckoned Jun over.

“Come here!”

Saying this, she turned behind the hall screen without waiting for Jun’s refusal.

As Jun hesitated whether to follow, Fabian said,

“Go see what she wants! And remind her! A woman must uphold her virtue!”

Jun’s face twitched as he reluctantly went behind the hall screen.

Entering the inner palace, Jun saw Kayla already seated on a chair.

Kayla pointed to the main seat and said,

“Jun, sit down.”

Jun didn’t take the main seat but sat opposite Kayla. Looking around, he awkwardly started a conversation.

“Has Taiji Hall been renovated?”

Kayla nodded softly.

“Yes.”

Jun said nothing more.

At that moment, Kayla suddenly stood up and sat beside Jun. She picked up an apple from the fruit tray and began peeling it herself.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Feeling awkward, Jun asked,

“Aunt Kayla, is there something you need?”

Kayla’s face flushed slightly but she didn’t speak immediately. After peeling the apple and handing it to Jun, she finally asked,

“Are you staying in Spirit Town or returning home?”

Jun replied,

“Of course I’m going home. Lyvia is waiting for me there. Besides, when I left, she was pregnant. I need to go back and see her.”

Kayla nodded and after some hesitation said,

“Although I haven’t been back for many years, I also want to return. But my intention is to stay in Spirit Town and rebuild our family’s foundation here.”

Jun cleared his throat and ambiguously replied,

“Alright then, let’s go with his decision. We can return home anytime. Besides, Spirit Town is now part of our Lordran territory. Establishing roots here isn’t an issue. You and Uncle Fabian can live here peacefully for the rest of your lives.”

Kayla sighed sorrowfully,

“In the past, that would have been fine. But now… things have changed.”

Jun frowned.

“What has changed?”

Kayla didn’t answer directly but instead asked,

“That… Samanthab will go back with you too, right?”

Jun’s heart skipped a beat.

The topic he wanted to avoid had finally come up.
