Treasure Hunting

"Do it. I'm incapacitated already anyway. How worse could it be to ruin a few more meridians! I'm going through a hell lot of pain right now. You can't possibly make it any worse," Zachary replied miserably.

His words stung Elva; she quickly realized the truth that he was badly incapacitated by his injuries. And her words would only hurt Zachary even further. She was not an inconsiderate and heartless person who would inflict further pain on someone suffering a lot. And in fact, she never really intended to kill Zachary in the first place. He had touched and kissed her already. If she reignited her anger each time she saw Zachary, it would not change anything. It was pointless to hurt Zachary now, especially since he had suffered a lot already.

"Fine, it's water under the bridge. But you must keep it a secret. If anyone finds out about it, I'll definitely kill you!" Elva threatened.

"I will never let anyone know about what happened that day. Elva, you're really a warmhearted person! You are not only beautiful, but also very kind. You're like an angel who came down from heaven..." Zachary exclaimed.

"All right, stop the ass-kissing. Just keep moving!" Elva said. She blushed a little when she heard Zachary's words of appreciation. She took a deep breath, returned to her usual cold expression and walked on.

'Next, I should prepare for the selection test. I will have to show everyone in the Welkin Sect of my power and make Elva admire my skills, ' Zachary thought to himself as he watched Elva walk away.

He thought about it and he knew that it wouldn't be an easy task to make Elva love him. It seemed fortunate that Bruce beat him so badly that it made Elva feel sympathetic to him. Without the injuries he received from Bruce, there was no way that Elva would have forgiven him.

I'm hitting on her? She isn't stupid after all, then? She turned me down before I even had the chance to tell her. This sucks! But she doesn't know that I am not someone who gives up easily. This is just the beginning. Well, there was a time when I was an ace at chasing girls. I once chased the most beautiful girl in the school without failing. If I fail to chase the aloof beauty of the Welkin Sect, I will become a laughingstock!" Zachary said to himself with a sly
