Again, Morticia's face flushed scarlet with humiliation and rage during the brothers' talk. At the same time, she could not help but feel amused.
There was something seriously wrong with the four brothers.
'They are still bickering about who I am at this time.'
Morticia had the urge to tell them that she was a well-respected Fiend Martyr, but she managed to control herself.
Creak!
They eventually came to a halt behind the courtyard, at a stone dungeon. First Scope threw Morticia into a cell, fastened the stone gate shut, and stared at her. "It is best to be honest right now."
He turned to address the other Ice Fire Island members in the dungeon as he spoke. "Make sure she doesn't escape."
As the final word reverberated through the air, the four brothers took off at full speed in the direction of the place Stella was cultivating.
Morticia let out a gentle breath as she looked about the damp cell with a shred of hopelessness.
Just as she had gotten over one problem, another one had popped up.
Was that her fate?
Meanwhile, on another end!
The four brothers rushed to a room in the courtyard. They stood by the door, daring each other to be the first to knock.
Stella had been spending the past year working on a unique cultivation method, and no one was allowed to interrupt her. Even the four brothers, known for their antics, knew to respect her space during that time.
"Junior Sister…"
First Scope took a few steps forward a few seconds later before calling out carefully, "Junior Sister?"
As soon as the words rang through the air, another voice rang from the room in a lilting tone. "Didn't I tell you not to disrupt me when I am cultivating, Senior Brother?
Uhh…
First Scope scratched his head. "We seized a woman. She had some strange energy in her!"
"A gorgeous woman, might I add."
At the same time, Third Scope and Fourth Scope piped up as well.
"There were all those people with her as well. I think they're a clan."
"Yeah, going by the name of Blanc or something."
Creak!
The room's door was pushed open as a result of those words. It was followed by the appearance of a stunning figure, who walked out gently.
