Chapter 227
"I understand, don’t worry, I have my ways of handling it!" Although Adam hadn’t been in the Mysterious Yellow Great World these past few days, he could guess with his toes that the Nova Clan was furious.
The lifting of the Heaven and Earth Shackles was entirely within his expectations.
If they weren’t lifted, the Mysterious Yellow Great World alone couldn’t fend off the Demon Race’s full-scale invasion.
"But the Tempest Clan has issued a protection order for you, they declared the Tempest Clan will always be your absolute backing, and told you to hurry home!" the scruffy Daoist said, his face breaking into a wide smile.
Adam’s mouth twitched violently, he could instantly guess why the Tempest Clan was treating him like this.
Just like Dael and the tribe, they had mistaken him for a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
"By the way, old sir, do you know who the Demon Race is looking for?" Adam didn’t bother explaining since it was too complicated to clear up, so he changed the subject.
"I don’t know, but I will report this to the Heavenly Court as well." The scruffy Daoist shook his head, running into these Demons today had been pure coincidence.
"Alright then, old sir, until we meet again." Adam cupped his fists.
"Mhm, until next time!" The scruffy Daoist looked at the Demon corpses scattered across the ground, already impatient to hand them over to the Heavenly Court for his merit points.
Soon, the two went their separate ways.
Adam flew toward Cecilia’s location, now that the Heaven and Earth Shackles were lifted, Cecilia was in extreme danger, he had been missing for so long, and with the Spirit Communicator malfunctioning, she must have been worried sick.
What truly worried him was that Cecilia’s current location was no longer within the Vast Azure Region.
That meant she had left the Sword Sect, it was highly likely she was being hunted by the Nova Clan.
He had just sent her a message, but she hadn’t responded, knowing her temperament, she always replied instantly.
The fact that she wasn’t replying now meant something had gone wrong.
But after flying barely two miles, Adam furrowed his brows and murmured, "Did I forget something?"
Just as he was struggling to remember, all the hairs on his body stood on end as a sweet, chilling voice rang out right next to his ear.
"Handsome, did you forget me?"
Goosebumps erupted all over his body, the sweet voice did absolutely nothing to dispel his horror.
Right in front of him, a faceless head was pressed against his nose, looking into that hollow void, he could even see the back of her head from the inside.
He swallowed hard, gripping the Yellow Emperor’s Sword tightly, he desperately wanted to slash at her.
But he didn’t dare.
For her to appear before him so silently, and to casually survive in a bizarre place like the chaotic space, she was definitely not simple, even putting those points aside, just based on this hollow head alone, he knew this woman was no ordinary creature.
At present, she harbored no hostility toward him.
If he provoked her by attacking first, it would be no different from courting death.
"Handsome, I fell to the ground just now and it hurt so much, yet you didn’t even come help me up!" The woman’s voice, coming from who knows where, carried a trace of grievance.
A fair, slender hand gently rested on Adam’s shoulder.
Her voice was beautiful, and her figure exceptionally stunning.
If she had a face, even an ordinary one, it would have been enough to make countless men surrender and blame themselves for letting such a delicate beauty suffer.
But the fact that she had no face made it impossible for Adam not to feel utterly creeped out.
Still, he apologized. "Haha, beautiful miss, I’m truly sorry, the situation was urgent, and I temporarily neglected you, it’s all my fault!"
"I wonder where you are heading now, miss? I can escort you!"
The faceless woman tilted her head, her voice brimming with charm. "Oh? Am I beautiful? Handsome, do you really think I’m beautiful?"
After speaking, she spun in a circle on the spot, her white gauze dress fluttered.
She was indeed incredibly beautiful, Adam had a fleeting illusion that perhaps not having a face wasn’t all that important.
"Extremely beautiful! Truly, miss, if I speak a single lie, may lightning strike me!" Adam said sincerely.
The faceless woman stopped spinning and tilted her head up, seemingly looking at the sky, after a moment, her happy voice rang out. "Your words are true! I believe you!"
Adam raised an eyebrow, was she waiting to see if lightning would strike me?
"Haha, miss, of course, now, can you tell me where you’re going?"
"I don’t know either," the faceless woman shook her head.
"Miss, where is your home? I can take you back." Adam was taken aback but continued asking.
"Home? I have no home, or rather, my home is not here." She shook her head again.
"Um... then is there anywhere you want to go?" Adam frowned slightly.
"Not really... but does your heart count?" The woman circled Adam and playfully poked his chest with her fair, soft finger.
"Miss, you can’t go there... Ah, wait!" Adam reached out to grab her, but he grabbed thin air, she had already slipped right into his body.
"Ah? There’s actually another woman in your body, no wonder you didn’t want to let me in!" The faceless woman’s voice echoed in Adam’s mind.
Adam was speechless, why does everyone like slipping into my body without permission?
He looked inward at his divine soul, sure enough, the faceless woman stood within his mindscape, directly opposite the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter.
"Adam, what is the situation with this woman?! How can you casually let an outsider enter your divine soul?" The girl’s voice rang out as the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter prepared to knock Adam’s divine soul avatar on the head.
Adam’s mouth twitched, you have the nerve to talk about others.
"Little sister, you must learn some manners, since we are both this man’s women now, we need to give him face, you shouldn’t have such a fiery temper." The faceless woman reached out her pale hand.
