Julius guided Jared to a rather ordinary room and respectfully said, “You may rest here. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” “Thank you, Mr. Poulsen!” Jared responded gratefully, acknowledging the courteous treatment. Just when Julius was about to step out of the room, Jared suddenly halted him. He asked, “Mr. Poulsen, can I ask you something?”
“Feel free to ask me anything!” Julius responded. “Mr. Poulsen, are all the inhabitants here beast cultivators? Are there humans living in the city?” Jared inquired with curiosity.
Julius shook his head. “There are no humans here. We’re all beast cultivators, and we’re a part of the beast race. The humans have their own territories, so they won’t live among us.”
“You mean no humans have ever set foot here before?” Jared could not help but express surprise. It’s such a vast city, yet no humans have discovered it or come here before?
“Humans do come to our city. We often invite some alchemists over to aid in refining pills or seek medical assistance, Julius explained. “You see, it’s nearly impossible for us beast cultivators to become alchemists, so we can only rely on them!”
Jared nodded in understanding upon learning that the beast cultivators could transform into human forms but were unable to become alchemists. “Are there any other questions?” Julius asked softly. Jared shook his head. “That’s all I want to know for now. Thank you, Mr. Poulsen!”
After Julius left, Jared remained in the room, quietly adjusting his breathing and slowly recovering his strength. A few moments later, someone knocked on the door, startling Jared.
He opened his eyes and saw Ivasha walking in with a porcelain tray. On the tray lay a brownish-green pill that emitted a faint glow. At first glance, Jared could tell that this pill was no ordinary pill. He stood up and greeted her with respect, “Princess Ivasha.”
“I’ve brought you a Revitalize Essence Pill. It seems like your injuries still haven’t fully healed. Taking this pill might be beneficial for treating your wounds,” Ivasha said as she placed the porcelain tray on the table.
Jared looked at the Revitalize Essence Pill, his face showing a hint of puzzlement. To a beast cultivator who could never become an alchemist, this pill was undoubtedly an invaluable item! However, he could not fathom why Ivasha would present him with such a precious gift. He could not grasp her intentions.
“Your Highness, pardon me for asking this, but why are you presenting me with such a significant gift even though we’ve only just met?” Jared inquired, genuinely perplexed.
“Because I need some answers from you,” Ivasha replied. “What answers?” Jared asked, his expression. freezing for a moment as he was unsure what she was referring to.
“You possess the aura of both a human and a celestial beast, which indicates that your parents must be from different races,” Ivasha explained. “One of your parents is from the beast race, whereas the other is from the human race. I wish to know who your parents are and how they managed to conceive you.”
Jared knitted his brow, puzzled by Ivasha’s inquiry about his parents. Nevertheless, he answered, “My mother is a human, but as for my father, I’ve never met him, and I know nothing about him. Why do you ask about this? Do you think there’s something amiss about my birth?”
Jared looked at Ivasha with a perplexed expression, unable to comprehend the purpose behind her question or what she hoped to discover.
