Female Novel
Chapter 928
Two figures appeared—one old and one young.
The old figure and a man with neat white hair dressed in baggy white clothes.
Meanwhile, the young figure was a woman with long black hair in her twenties, dressed in a black skirt.
“Sir Caden, why did you bring me here?” the woman asked.
The old man looked at the mountain ahead. It was a bare mountain with smoke billowing at the top.
He pointed to the mountain ahead and said, “This is a volcanic crater that often spews lava. I came
here to find a special fruit.”
The two people were Tobias and Thea.
Thea already knew that the location was a volcanic crater because she could feel the heat as soon as
they approached it. Even though it was winter and the weather was relatively cold, the surrounding
area was scorching, causing sweat beads to appear on her pretty face.
She asked perplexedly, “Why are you looking for a fruit?”
Thomas explained, “The fruit I'm looking for is the Sacred Fire Fig, and it only grows near volcanoes.
The fruit contains Hot Energy. An ordinary person’s body will burn from within after consumption and
die almost instantly. However, martial artists can consume it and convert the energy into True Yang
Energy.”
“I can’t go any further.”
Thea stopped and could not be bothered to maintain her image. She simply sat down on the ground
and fanned her face.
Thomas also stopped.
He looked at Thea and said, “The Ancient Four each guard a painting, each of which records
mysterious and unpredictable cultivation methods. The cultivation method recorded on the Moonlit
Flowers on Cliffside's Edge requires a man and woman to practice together. The man has to have True
Yang Energy, while the woman has to have True Yin Energy. The two energies will complement each
other. Now that James has a woman with pure True Yin Energy beside him, it’s a perfect opportunity.
However, James True Energy isn’t True Ying Energy.”
Thea looked at Thomas and asked, “Sir Caden, could it be that you’ve already cracked the Moonlit
Flowers on Cliffside's Edge’s secret?”
“Ha!” Thomas chuckled. Then, he said, “I cracked it thirty years ago.”
“A-Are you trying to get James to use the cultivation method?”
“Yup!” Thomas nodded and said, “I came to find the Sacred Fire Fig. If we can find it, you can bring it
back to Cansington for James.”
Thea thought for a while and asked, “You said that you’ve stolen the Johnstons and the Sullivans’
paintings, so did you also solve the other two paintings’ secret?”
Thomas did not answer.
Instead, he looked at the mountain in front and uttered, “I’ve acquired two paintings out of the four. As
for the Cadens’ painting, I’ve already memorized it long ago, so it doesn’t matter whether I have it or
not. However, the Lees’ painting will be hard to steal.”
Thomas wore a serious expression. Although the Lees were not the head of the ancient Four, they
were the most mysterious family.
The Lees had several locations in Sol. Thomas had been searching for decades but had yet to figure
out which location the painting was at.
Additionally, the Lees’ ancestors were powerful martial artists.
Even he was afraid of fighting one of the Lees. He might not even have a chance of winning in a face-
to-face fight.
“Let’s go.”
Thomas helped Thea up and held on to her. Suddenly, he jumped and leaped more than ten meters
away instantly. They had traveled more than a hundred meters with a few more jumps.
Soon, they were halfway up the mountain.
It was scorching hot, and Thea sweated profusely. She could not endure it and said, “Sir Caden, it’s too
hot here. I don’t think I can bear it anymore.”
“You wait here then. I’ll go look for it.”
Seeing Thea’s suffering appearance, Thomas put her down and instructed, “Stay where you are and
don’t go anywhere.”
“Alright.” Thea nodded.novelbin
Thomas continued to head up the mountain.
