The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5038

“She's a cultivator. Not eating won't kill her, so there's no need to make a fuss,” Nilou said.

Cultivators didn't require food the way ordinary people did, so starvation wasn't normally a threat.

But Jared spoke up, “I've sealed her meridians. Right now, she's just a regular person. If she doesn't eat, she won't last long.”

“I'll go see what she really wants.” Jared turned and made his way to the dungeon.

“Jared, maybe I should go instead and feed her some oatmeal...” Flaxseed chuckled.

Jared gave him a sideways glance, then walked off without another word.

Jhaelyn, daughter of Braxton, had been Jared's leverage to keep Braxton under control. But now that Jared had the strength to wipe out the Eighth Hall with ease, she wasn't all that important anymore.

He passed through several protective formations before arriving at the dungeon where Jhaelyn was held. She was still dressed in the same close-fitting outfit, but her hair was a mess, and she looked noticeably haggard.

The moment she saw Jared, fury flared in her eyes. If he hadn't captured her and sealed her meridians, she wouldn't be in such a pitiful state.

“Either let me go or kill me,” she said flatly. “But I suggest you kill me. Because if I ever get free, I'll hunt you down no matter what it takes.” Her glare burned with rage as she spoke.

“Even if I let you go, you can't touch me. Your father has already lost to me. What makes you think you can beat me?” Jared replied with a calm smile.

Jhaelyn fell silent. She knew he wasn't wrong. “Then I'll starve to death. As a celestial, I'd rather die than be your prisoner,” she said with conviction.

“You celestials are masters of self-delusion. You're part of the human race, yet you convince yourselves you're above everyone else, calling yourselves celestials,” Jared said, his voice thick with disdain. “Don't you find that ridiculous?”
