Chapter 1417 – What Are You Talking About?

“So, if I ask you if we could go together, would you try to bring me to the other continent?” Falangia asked.

Rean scratched the back of his head in response. “I could give it a try, but I really don’t recommend it. Treavin Continent is basically a big desert. As for Pol Continent that borders it, surprisingly, it’s the exact opposite. Pol Continent is basically a huge sea, with only a few islands scattered throughout. Do you think your life would be better in a place like that?”

“I…” Falangia couldn’t give an answer. After all, she didn’t know how cultivators acted in Pol Continent to start with. Perhaps, due to the sea, Pol Continent would be even more tyrannical than Treavin itself. “Is there a way to find out how things work in the Pol Continent in the center of Treavin Continent?”

Rean had to admit it was very likely. “Probably. There should be people in the center of Treavin Continent that would happily sell us information about the Pol Continent.”

Falangia was taken aback to hear that. “Would you pay for it just to find out if it’s a good place to go or not? That would be too much already.”

Rean shook his head as he told her, “Oh, you have the wrong idea here. Roan and I would still pay for information about that place regardless of whether you come or not. Information is power, after all. Now that I think about it, I’m already bringing you and your daughter to the center of the Treavin Continent anyway. You might as well make your decision after you find out how Pol Continent is and how dangerous it’ll be to traverse the continental barrier.”

Falangia was happy to hear that. However, looking at Rean’s smiling face, she couldn’t help but ask, “It was I who asked for it. Still, I wouldn’t complain even if you did nothing else for my daughter and me anymore. Why are you going this far just to help us?” She already knew that Rean and Roan weren’t like most of the guys she had met before. They had no interest in raping or charging sex for anything they wanted. Above that, they didn’t try to ask her for Divine Stones, which the cultivators in the continent put even more significance on compared to carnal desires. Such a way of action was just too foreign to Falangia.

Rean sighed after hearing that. “Instead of answering your question, let me ask you. Why do you find it so hard to accept that someone just wants to help you? Is it really that hard to accept that not everyone has a hidden agenda?” Rean patted the girl’s head once again and told her, “Don’t you think that’s kind of a sad way of seeing life?”

Falangia found it hard to not feel moved by Rean’s words. She couldn’t be blamed, though. That’s the kind of life she had lived so far. 

Suddenly, someone stormed inside while complaining. “I want that too! I want that too!” Sure enough, it was Rafatia who saw Rean patting her mother’s head, feeling jealous.

Rean once again laughed out loud when he heard that. “Hahaha! Of course, Rafatia can get a lot of pats on the head.” He didn’t mind fulfilling the little girl’s wish at all.

Falangia looked at that as she touched her head, where Rean patted her a moment earlier. That was a very warming feeling. Seeing how attached her daughter had gotten, and how well he treated not only her but everyone, she started to feel different towards him. ‘It would be so nice if he was her father…’

However, the exact moment she thought that, she felt her body, and especially her face, grow very hot. ‘What the hell am I thinking?! Don’t do that, Falangia. How long have you been living in this shit place? As far as chances go, he might be saying all of that just to make me drop my guard. Yes, that must be it!’

Well, deep down, Falangia knew she was just deceiving herself. Why the hell would Rean want Falangia to drop her guard? He’s a Peak Stage Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator. Plus, he even had those Soul Binding Contracts. If he wanted something, he could totally force her to do whatever he wanted. There was absolutely no point in taking such a hard route just to gain her trust.

Rean didn’t know anything about that, though. He just helped Falangia the same way he helped many people in the past. There was no other reason behind it whatsoever. “Alright, I’m leaving now. Since I already got the tyrants in the city to sign the contracts, I guess I’m going to have that rest I talked about.” Rean then looked at Falangia and said, “Kentucky seems to be enjoying his stay, so I’ll leave him here with you two. I’ll be back a few days later to fetch all of you once we leave.”

Falangia, who was lost in her thoughts, finally returned to the real world. “Eh? You’re already leaving?”

*Pah!*

As soon as she said that, she slapped her own face, much to Rean’s confusion. “Are you… alright?”

Falangia nodded with an even brighter red expression. “I-I’m fine! Just ignore what I said. I’ll prepare everything for when the time comes for us to leave. Have a nice rest.” At the same time, she cursed herself mentally. ‘Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot…’ Then again, one couldn’t blame the poor girl. In her nineteen years of life, it was the first time she felt like that towards the opposite gender. Her emotions were all over the place.

Puzzled, Rean could only nod and make his way out. “See you later… I guess.”

Outside, he just so happened to bump into Roan, who had also returned. Surprisingly, Roan seemed to be talking with Luan. “Yo, Roan. Are you tormenting the kid again?”

Roan’s mouth twitched a little once he heard that. “Not as much as I plan to torment you if you continue with your bullshit.”

Rean laughed in response. “Hahaha! I’m joking. I’m joking. Hey, Luan. How are you doing, man?”

Luan nodded with a slightly shy face, replying, “I-I’m fine.”

Rean obviously was curious, so he asked, “So, what are you two talking about?”
