Chapter 329: Questions
As soon as the treasure-palace shot into the portal, it appeared in another region.
Then a few moments later, Alex and Layla were teleported out of the palace while the treasure-palace remained afloat in the air.
As soon as Alex and Layla appeared in this new region, they were amazed by what they saw.
They were before two mountainous statues that were facing each other.
These two statues which were formed after some people were really massive in size that they could block the sun from shining it fiery light upon the before them. Also, if one took a closer look at it, one would see that these statues weren't made from metal or from some other materials.
It were actual mountains that were carved into statues.
After being dazzled for some time by this sight, Alex stowed the floating treasure-palace into his mom's spatial ring.
Then he looked at Layla and said to her.
"Let's go in"
Layla nodded.
Then holding hands, they walked towards the massive mansion that was behind the two statues.
After walking through a large path between the statues that led to the mansion, they arrived at the door of the mansion.
Then the door swung open for them. While a female anciently voice rang out.
"Come in!"
Alex and Layla nodded their heads and went in.
And when they entered, the form of the old woman materialized before the both of them.
She looked at Alex and then at Layla.
Then she asked "Do you guys love each other?"
Layla looked at Alex with a smile while Alex looked at her with a smile in his face too.
"Well, I don't know about him. But I think I do" Layla said.
"You think?" The senior asked.
"Yes, senior." Layla replied.
"Why do you think? You should be sure about that" The old woman questioned.
"Well, I just feel that I love him. I am not yet deeply in love with him. But I like him very much." Layla answered.
"Hmm." The old woman muttered.
Then she asked "Why do you like him?"
"Because of the unique attributes that he possesses which I believe I wouldn't find in any other male I may come across. Even in higher worlds if I journey there some day" Layla answered.
"Hmm" The old woman muttered again.
"And what are those attributes?" She asked.
"Well, the most paramount of them all is that he wouldn't let even an ant or a fly hurt or disturb his woman. What I mean by this is that, he would devastate anybody that tries to insult or harm his woman. Also, even if the entire world turns it back against his woman, he would turn his back against it. That's what I intensely like him for and made me go right ahead to choose him to accompany me on this journey to accept this legacy with me" Layla answered sincerely.
"Hmm. And how do you know about this particular attribute of his?" The old woman asked.
"Senior, I said that with utmost confidence from something that I heard and wasn't a rumor. This conviction of mine came from what he did for one of his girlfriends. She was being ridiculed and embarrassed by everyone she knew for having her holiness tainted by him. Even her family became so angry at her for the embarrassment that she caused them and then came out to declare to the world that anybody who can beat up the boy who stripped away her virginity, would be given their daughter's hands in marriage. So, hundreds of cultivators from proud, dignified academies and even rogue cultivators came to see the boy who did that and then fight him so they could get her hand in marriage, and then prove to everyone that they were geniuses or something." Layla said.
Then she continued "Basically anyone who was made to fight in hundreds of matches without rest would surely run for their lives. They wouldn't be able to handle the intense exhaustion and would then be knocked off the stage. And this would definitely lead to a great embarrassment and extreme public humiliation for him. He could even become arrested by the exceedingly angered family of the girl and live a life full of deeply agonizing torture at an underground in their mansion. Besides, who would appear for such a thing after committing such shameful act with the daughter of a proud and mighty cultivation family? But he appeared with style and with an unmatched ferocity just to remove her name that had been thrown deep into the mud. He fought with and injured anyone that came up the stage with the intention of taking his girlfriend's hand in marriage. This he did with doggedness and a towering aura of peerless indomitability that amazed people. Therefore, by doing those things that I mentioned which would bask his woman in great pride, he passed a loud, echoing message to me which was that, no matter the consequence of anything which his woman had done or would do, he would stand tall, fearlessly and indomitable by her side. His actions also passed to me in that same message that he would carry or shatter all the insurmountable mountains that would ever appear in the path that his woman would ever walk or go through. What he did back there showed the kind of deep-seated love that he had for her, which I believe would surely invoke in anyone that heard the story that he would fight everyone for that boundless love that he has for his woman" Layla said.
"Another thing i know which happened to me was when we were coming down here for the legacy. The son of the City Lord suddenly took interest in me and wanted to force me to become his woman. Although, I think we could have settled the matter by leaving that place where the City Lord's son came to meet us. But he chose to blow up the whole thing simply because the City Lord's son had set his eyes on me. He even killed one of his bodyguards for it and selflessly lured hundreds of powerful, prideful cultivators that had appeared in the air before him to punish him for what he had done away from me, as one of them wanted to kill me for refusing his request to become the City Lord's wife or concubine" Layla said.
The old woman's eyes shone and then nodded head head in approval.
But still gazing at her, she asked again "What other attributes made you to like him?"
"They are so many that I can't mention all. But I would tell senior a few about them since senior has demanded for it" Layla replied.
Then she continued "The other attributes of his which impressed me was that, he is incredibly strong. At his level, I don't think he has a rival. Even if he goes to higher worlds, there would be none there that would be able to beat him. Unless he surrenders himself to allow the other person win. Another of his attributes is that he's highly adventurous. Senior should believe me when I say that he has gone to many legacy grounds and has acquired the legacies of these experts. Some, I believe he acquired when he was at a lower cultivation level. Another is that he's fearless before anyone. Even before mighty, dreading experts who could be likened to High Gods, he would look at them in the eyes like they were below him and could tread upon them as he would an ant. And last but not the least, if senior takes a good look at him, senior would see that he has the look that every woman would die for. This makes me wonder how many girlfriends he might actually have. Anyways, I am less concerned about that as it's unimportant. All I know is that I have brought him here to accept the transmission of the legacy with me, making him my life Partner. Senior, I am just really fortunate that he chose to come here with me. Or I would have lost out on this dazzling, rare and extraordinary gem"
