Chapter 369 A Glimpse at the Past 3
"Munch munch munch"
"Nom nom nom."
Alex and Alina seed to have lost respect of Professsor Frances and the Great TIMaster, as these two started munching on the popcorn that the professor has brought out.
The chewing sounds that ca out of their mouth were so loud, that even the professor could not help but be bothered by them.
"Hey, you two, can you please tone down your eating sounds?" The professor angrily said to Alex and Alina, who were now halfway through the pile of their popcorn. "It’s distracting !"
"Yeah, yeah, we’ll try to be quiet." Ale said in a dismissive tone, which started to irk the professor.
"You-"
"Hey look that that! There’s soone approaching the crater!" Alex suddenly shouted out as he pointed his finger in front of him.
"Hm?" Professor Frances looked at where Alex was pointing, and indeed, she saw a rapidly approaching person.
Judging by the way and the direction that this person arrived, there was no doubt that this person was headed towards the crater itself.
"Zung!"
A loud, keening sound began to echo in the air as the newcor began to get closer and closer to the crater.
The originally calm winds in the Barren Expanses started to seethe again, as if the presence of the newcor was enough to make them agitated.
When the newcor was around a kiloter away from the center of the crater, the professor’s eyes intensified their focus as she tried to identify the appearance of the newcor.
A slightly tanned skin covered with nurous runic tattoos. A perfectly slender and muscular body which the clothes has failed to hide. A handso face, which was showing a determined expression right now.
These are the visual characteristics that the newcor had, and all of these characteristics combined made him look like a dashing and heroic person.
"...This newcor is a classic hero character." These were the words that the professor has uttered as she saw the appearance of the newcor. "Tsk, these are the kind of people that I hate most! Grr... Should I continue watching this?"
Beside the professor, Alex let out a grunt of displeasure, as if he was not pleased with the appearance of the approaching person.
As for Alina, she had no reaction to the newcor, as her attention was focused only on the popcorn.
"Damn... even when this person was still far, I can feel that his power level is similar to Alex..." Professor Frances muttered to herself as she narrowed her eyes. "So does that an that this arriving person is an Immortal(Sixth Stage Being)?"
Professor Frances did not dare to ask this question out loud, as she just continued on watching the scene quietly.
They watched as the newcor stopped his flight right above the center of the crater. He then descended slowly, as if he was trying to approach the center of the crater carefully.
This slow descent however was sped up a few seconds later, as if the newcor has decided to hasten himself.
But just as fast the newcor sped up, he also quickly stopped his tracks after he saw what was truly at the center of the crater.
Professor Frances watched as the newcor began to show surprise as he saw the body of the past Great TiMaster on the ground.
His face, which was filled with determination before, slowly changed into that of wariness as he looked at the past Great TiMaster.
"This is weird..." The newcor muttered as he started to hold the hilt of his sword. There was no doubt that he was prepared against any sneak attacks now, and that he was only restraining himself from attacking. "My master said that a heavenly treasure has fallen here. But I don’t see any treasure here. I can only see a woma- no, a beautiful woman on the ground, and she seems to be in a critical condition. Sigh... did soone already get the treasure before ? But I’m sure that I went here at my fastest speed..."
After saying these words, the newcor began to beco silent for a few seconds, as he seed to be stuck in a dilemma now.
"Sigh... what should I do now?" The newcor muttered as he slowly approached the past Great TiMaster. There were traces of gentleness in his gaze now, which shows that he’s not aning to do any harm against the past Great TiMaster..
"Since the treasure was already obtained, I guess there’s no more sense for to stay here." The newcor said as he stopped his movents when he was only a step away from the past Great TiMaster. "As for this woman... I think I shall help her recover first. After all, she’s hurt. Yes, I will do that!"
The newcor’s face then showed a determined expression in it as he waved his hands.
After he waved his hands, the past Great TiMaster disappeared on the spot, as if she was taken sowhere else.
The newcor sighed in relief after seeing this, as if he was waiting for this to happen.
"So the storage bracelet that my master gave works properly. It can even store injured people inside it! Master is really cool!" The newcor enthusiastically said to himself as he pumped his arms. His face seed to be filled with happiness, as if he was pleased with what he just did.
"Master always told to help out people that are in need, whether they are male or female. That is the principle of our sect, and I must uphold it everyday!" The newcor then patted the bracelet on his left arm, as if he was trying to comfort it. "Beautiful woman, I do not know who you might be, but seeing your condition here, I know that I must help you out! You... you can get angry at later, but I don’t care about that! You are soone who needs help, and I will be happy to help you!"
"Holy f**k, this guy’s a naïve person! How the hell did he manage to survive this long!" Professor Frances exclaid as she threw her arms up in the air. "He just saw an unconscious woman right at the middle of the crater, and the first thing that he did was to rescue her? Unf**kingbelievable! If it were , I would have first called my allies and imprison the unconscious woman! Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a bad move!"
"Miss Frances, I think it would be best for you if you will shut up." The Great TiMaster suddenly said as she gave a small smile at the professor’s direction. "If you continue talking right now, I might be unable to stop myself from killing you..."
Professor Frances’ body froze again, as she once more felt the Great TiMaster’s malicious aura pressing down on her.
But this ti around, this malicious aura seed to be more intense, as if it was focused on the professor alone.
"Kehook..." Professor Frances started to find it difficult to breathe, as her organs has once again started to shut themselves down.
Her skin began to sweat buckets as her mind slowly turned hazy.
"Kieek..." A wheezing sound ca out of the professor’s mouth as she literally felt her life coming out of her body.
There was no doubt that if what was happening to her goes on, Professor Frances will really find herself at the deathbed.
Fortunately, the malicious aura pressing on her body disappeared, just as fast as it appeared.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Professor Frances began to heave and breath deeply to herself as she regained the control of her body.
Her pale face slowly regained their color as her trembling hands and clammy legs began to calm themselves down.
"Miss Frances, badmouthing this man is a big no-no for . So please, don’t do it again next ti, ok?" The Great TiMaster said with the sa smile on her face.
The professor only nodded numbly as she heard warning, as she inwardly shivered from the Great TiMaster’s smile.
That smile was nowhere amicable at all. That must be the smile of the devil...
After seeing the professor’s slow nod, the Great TiMaster clapped her hands as the smile on her face widened.
"Okay, that’s the end of the second scene. Now, I’m going to show you the third scene." The Great TiMaster said as the scenery around them changed for the third ti.
"Schwing schwing schwing!"
As the colors around them began to whizz around in a distorted manner, the Graeat TiMaster let out a cough as she gave an appraising look at Alex.
"After my ’crash’ here at the Immortal’s World, my body was severely injured." The Great TiMaster murmured as a gentle light appeared on her eyes. "I could have used my power to heal myself, but at that ti, the laws of the Immortal World were solely focused on supporting Immortal Cultivation. Any power systems other than Immortal Cultivation were severely weakened in this world, which led to my power being almost useless here."
"..."
"There’s a high chance that I could have died at my arrival, with all the unlucky things that had just happened to . If I did not die, there’s also a high possibility that I will be enslaved by the Immortals. They were just that greedy." The Great TiMaster said as she let out a sigh. "But fortunately for , the first Immortal who found was not a greedy person. In fact, he was the kindest person that I ever t, even kinder than one of my Chronomancer friends..."
"..."
"So this person rescued and nursed back to full heath." The Great TiMaster as a fond smile appeared on her face. "During that ti, he also made sure to hide , as he knew that my existence was not a normal one."
"..."
"Of course when the past was rescued by him, I was naturally suspicious of him. After all, he was a foreign person who might have nefarious intentions against , soone who was weak and powerless at that ti." The Great TiMaster said as she gave Alex and Alina an infatuated look. "But after staying with him for a long ti, I... slowly lost all my suspicions against him. I beca closer and closer to him, and before I realized it, I have already fallen in love with him."
"..."
"As I am a forward and a courageous person, I imdiately confessed my feelings for him when I had the chance." The Great TiMaster said, which made Alex sowhat choke on his popcorn. "I was prepared to accept his rejection, but to my surprise, he also confessed his love to . One thing then led to another, and before we knew it, we were already secretly married."
"That’s fast..." Professor Frances thought to herself, although she did not voice out her opinion, in fears of making the Great TiMaster angry again.
As for Alex, he just looked at the Great TiMaster with a weird look, as if he has realized sothing from what she was saying.
As for Alina, she was now looking at Alex with a slightly passionate look, which made the professor wince, as she could feel what Alina was thinking about.
The Great TiMaster seed to have not noticed the weird atmosphere around her, as she continued talking about her story.
"Even if my power was weakened, and that I was separated from my brethren, I was extrely happy at that ti." The Great TiMaster said as she let out another sigh. "My days with my husband were like a sunshine in my gloomy life. There’s just nothing that can be better than that. Or so I thought."
The scenery around them suddenly stopped its distorted color change, as it displayed the new scene to Alex and his allies.
This ti, Professor Frances found herself inside a simple house, which only held simple objects in it.
There was nothing extravagant inside the house, and the only thing that caught the professor’s attention was the person sitting inside this house.
This person was no other than the past Great TiMaster, and she seed to have recovered from her crash before.
Right now, the past Great TiMaster was stroking her stomach, which has bulged to the size of a waterlon. Pure happiness can be seen in her eyes, as she continued stroking stomach with care.
"Annie... your father is busy in the sect today, so he might arrive ho late..." The past Great TiMaster said as she patted her bulging stomach. "So please behave and don’t kick my stomach, ok? Mommy’s not sure if she can take your kicks anymore..."
"Thump, thump, thump."
Low thumping sounds echoed out from the Great TiMaster’s stomach, which made her giggle a little.
"Annie... you really are a naughty girl. I wonder how hard it will be to take care of you once you were born. You will be a good girl, right?"
"Thump thump."
Thumping sounds echoed out of her stomach again, which made the Great TiMaster shake her head in amusent.
"Sigh... you really are silly child. I just wish that you will be cute once you were born. That will make all your naughtiness all worth it!"
