[W-What? Stop trying to scare me!]


    Hera hugged the nket tightly and shivered.


    Skadi replied with a long text: [I’m not trying to…. Grandpa once saw someone who was possessed.


    The person looked stiff when they walked. It was like they had lost their soul!]


    Nash got up slowly at this moment.

    His mind was nk, and he turned around while looking like he was in a daze.


    Nash had depended on his master ever since he was little after the Young Family Vige was burned to


    the ground. Now, his


    only support was gone.


    Although his master was not dead, his having ascended was no different from if he had died.


    His master had once said that once an immortal cultivator ascended to the immortal realm, they would


    no longer be able to enter the lower ne.


    Nash walked toward the sofa like a zombie, and fear shot through Hera.


    Trembling, she sent another message to Skadi: [Okay, you might be right!]


    [Would you like me toe over and apany you?]


    [He went andid down on the sofa!]


    [Then it should be fine. Maybe it’s just a harmless ghost ying around.]


    The sound of muffled thunder continued outside, which sent Hera ducking under the covers from fright.


    “N-Nash, a-are you alright?” she asked, her voice shaking.


    “I’m alright,” Nash replied.


    Hera continued, “Did… Did you see something?”


    Nash smiled dumbly and asked, “Why would I have?”


    “Then… then why were you on the ground bowing just now?”


    “I thought of my master, so I just bowed to him.”


    “Really?”


    Hera stuck her head out from under the nket. She saw Nash lying on the sofa with a red light on his


    face.


    Just then, there was another round of thunder.


    “Ah!”


    Hera shrank back into the covers again in fright. Meanwhile, Nash was browsing through some inds


    in the South Sea.


    His master had left for the South Sea to look for a chance to break through his shackles, but he had no


    idea which ind it was.


    The ind he was currently looking at was Maple Leaf Ind. The ind was so full of red maple trees


    that the entire ground was nketed with red maple leaves, which gave the ind a dreamy effect.


    When Nash heard Hera yelp, he asked helplessly, “What’s the matter with you?”


    “W-Why is your face glowing red?”


    “I guess it’s just the light from my phone.” Nash could not help but answer with a superficial snicker.


    Hera quietly lifted a corner of her nket when she heard that and was slightly relieved when she


    noticed that Nash had his phone in his hand.


    The raindrops hit the window while the lightning and thunder came one after another.


    “Nash, aren’t you afraid?”


    “What’s there to be afraid of?”


    “The thunder!”


    “I’m not scared of thunder.”


    “I am, a little…” Hera closed her eyes tightly.


    She had hinted to Nash that he coulde sleep with her, and thus, her heart was beating fast at this


    moment while her face was flushed red.


    She had even thought about what she was going to say next. She would say that he could sleep with


    her but could not touch


    her.


    “Oh.”


    Hera was stunned for a few seconds.


    Oh?


    Did he not understand what she was trying to say?


    Hera asked unwillingly, “Is that it?”


    She felt the nket lift the moment she said that. Then, a figure slid onto the bed and nestled beside


    her.


    Phone in hand, Hera received a message from Skadi just then.


    [Are you asleep?]


    The screen lit up and illuminated both their faces.


    Hera stared at Nash nkly. She had even stopped breathing.

    Nash was staring at Hera’s flushed face with dark eyes before he said in a maic voice, “Are you


    still afraid now?”
