Eden released killing intent at the semi-otherworldly realm and fixed her cold gaze on Ashton. But when her eyes fell on his face, then the scratches across his chest, memories of the night before surfaced in her mind.

A flush crossed her face as she bit her lip and shot him a glare, her eyes filled with anger and embarrassment. She never imagined she would lose her innocence to him like this.

“You’re trying to kill me?” Ashton asked exasperatedly. “Ms. Morrow, you’ve got it wrong, haven’t you? I’m the one who saved you.”

“Save me? You mean… by doing that?” Eden shot back.

“What else was I supposed to do?” he said with a shrug.

“The aphrodisiac in your body and the seal on your internal organs weren’t my doing. If I hadn’t stepped in, that old geezer Tobias would’ve had his way with you. By now, Zolane would already be in the hands of Tobias and Heta. Instead of showing gratitude, why are you treating your savior like an enemy?”

Eden’s expression tightened as she stared at Ashton. She knew he was right. If he hadn’t shown up last night and killed Tobias

and Hera, her fate would have been far worse.

Even now, her heart ached at the thought of her sister’s betrayal. But none of that was enough to justify what Ashton had done.

“Don’t try to talk your way out of this,” she argued, a trace of genuine killing intent flickering in her eyes.

“You think I don’t know? Under those circumstances last night, you clearly had other options. You did this on purpose.”

If she killed him now, everything that had happened could be buried, and things would return to their proper course.

Meeting her gaze, Ashton replied candidly, “What happened last night was the best solution. Because of it, we both broke through our previous shackles and advanced our cultivation levels without any backlash.

“It even enhanced the potential of our bloodline powers. If we continue our dual cultivation, our levels could stabilize even further…”

“Shut up!” Eden snapped, her brows knitting tightly, especially at the mention of “dual cultivation.”

“Like it or not, that’s what happened. It was because of me that you broke through the shackles of the divine realm and reached the semi-otherworldly realm. Think of it as a lucky break I handed you on a silver platter,” Ashton replied with a grin.

Her breakthrough had caught even him off guard. Advancing from the peak divine realm to the semi-otherworldly realm was no

r

easy feat.

He had to admit that her talent was exceptional and her bloodline power remarkably strong. If she hadn’t been held back by chills syndrome, she might have reached this level long ago. Their dual cultivation had simply been the final push she needed.

Ashton scoffed and said, “So, I suppose I should be thanking you instead?”

Eden took a deep breath and looked him over from head to toe. After a long silence, she said coldly, “I can spare your life. But you must leave Zolane immediately and never set foot here again, nor appear before me. If I see you again, I will kill you withou mercy.”

She couldn’t bring herself to actually kill him. Therefore, severing all ties was the only option.

“Ms, Morrow, I can leave,” Ashton replied. “But before I go, why don’t we sleep together one more time?”
