Chapter 489 Gone Gone Gone
489 Gone Gone Gone
"Nice one, Rose, but no stalling for you," Alexia's calm, ethereal-like voice floated out into the world as she began floating over to Rose. A smirk played on her face when she noticed the agitated look in Rose's eyes. Seth's mind was still processing the fact that Rose could comfortably see Alexia when the woman began floating away. He hastily shifted his attention to them.
"Hiding from the heavens isn't enough; you want to completely become invisible to them. If I didn't know any better, I would think you want to regain more of your powers so you can properly deal with Seth and be done with him. How insidious," Alexia spoke teasingly, but one could hear the disgust in her tone.
After Alexia finished speaking, Rose's expression went downcast, and her lips tightened.
"You seem quite knowledgeable, so I wonder, do you know who I am and the consequences of going against me? I won't forget you," Rose calmly said, her eyes looking Alexia up and down.
"Hmm, do I know you?" Alexie said, asking the question sarcastically, and then she released a wide smile. "I should be the one complaining that you don't know me, eh, Dakula Rose."
As Alexie finished the last of her words, Rose's eyes widened in disbelief. But before she could utter a single word, Seth, who had been on the sideline, decided to join.
"Alexia, what do you mean properly deal with me? What is Rose up to?"
While Seth could feel tension in the air and a likely banter between Alexia and Rose, he was focused on the issue of his survival and well-being, especially given the extreme mysteriousness of the woman before him. While Rose gave Seth an annoying stare, one which expressed her unhappiness at Seth interrupting, Alexia turned to Seth with a smile and spoke.
"The only reason Rose had kept you alive for so long is because of what you possess, or in other words, what you truly are. She was willing to go the stressful way of capturing you and getting the information she wanted out of you, but now you've proven to be very troublesome, so my best bet is that she's going to drain the information out of you."
Seth was wide-eyed, blinking at the ridiculousness of the information that Alexia had given him and finding it hard to believe, when Alexia seemingly shimmered out of existence and then appeared before him, holding his face in her hands.
"If you're wondering if you will be harmed, then considering the extraction will most likely kill you, then yes. Now, no need to be worried because I'm here, Seth. I love you so damn much, and I won't let her harm you," Alexia said, looking into Seth's eyes with a gaze filled with love.
"I know you love me, and I love you too, but what do you plan on doing?" Seth asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Rose is a problem, and I'm going to get her out of the way. She won't be a problem to you for a very long time." Immediately, Alexia said those words, she moved forward and pressed her lips against Seth's.
Without a miss, Seth could feel Alexia's lips on his own, and as he pulled away, he felt his instincts go on alert and his gut twist. Something was wrong, and he moved to open his mouth, wanting to talk to Alexia, but he found himself unable to move—his entire body frozen.
"What the hell, what is wrong with me, my body, my qi, my dantian?" As Seth realized his current situation, he saw a smile, an apologetic smile, on Alexia's face.
"I wish we could talk more, but unfortunately, that's not possible. Not to mention the fact that we don't have time, there is also the issue that I'm not allowed. Sometimes I can't help but feel jealous of that spoiled bitch," Alexia said, seemingly speaking to herself and then sending Rose a glare.
Alexia gave Seth one last smile before turning around and floating over to Rose, leaving Seth with a raging mind and an unresponsive body.
Leaving Seth behind, Alexia moved to Rose, who gave her a stare and then asked, "How do you know that name, and who are you?"
"Interesting questions, Holy daughter, but unfortunately, I won't be entertaining you today. The last thing we want is for you to finish those hand seals, am I right?" Alexia said as she floated beside Seth, and then, lifting her hand, she stroked the woman's head.
"This is my last warning; if you apologize and go back to whatever hole you crawled up from, I'll forgive you."
"Arrogant as always, even now when defeat is certain for you."
Though Alexia did nothing but stroke Rose's hair, the woman's expression began getting tight, and then traces of pain began showing.
"Using laws to bully juniors, isn't that below you, your holiness?" Alexia mocked.
"Peasant," Rose grunted, but her words only made Alexia smile and then grip her head.
"You know I genuinely wanted to spend more time with Seth, see him go past even the divine realm, but no, you just had to become the perfect daughter and go attacking our man," Alexia said, the last words spoken with disgust, like she could vomit, yet unfortunately for her, it was the truth.
"I'm going to kill you, and one day, you'll remember what stopped you from doing it," Alexia said offhandedly as the expression on Rose's face further tightened, yet the woman didn't stop with the hand seals.
"Don't be foolish. If you do this, you'll also die. No way I'm letting you off. Do you want to die for a selfish bastard like him?" Rose gritted out, turning and looking Alexia in the eye.
"Hehe, how do you think I got in this situation in the first place," Alexia said, and as those words left her mouth, she exerted all her strength on Rose's head.
"Foolish woman" was the last thing Alexia heard, this being Rose's antagonizing last words.
