Half an hour later, Forsythe set out with an army of about thirty thousand men. They set out in gusto, making a beeline for the Nine Continents in hundreds of huge ships.
…
Over on the Cryolet Continent, in the Pure Yang Division.
Sofia had spent all night in the pill-making room making pills and had fallen asleep.
Over on the second floor sat Darryl cross-legged, absorbing the energy from the Golden Pill.
Whew!
Seeing that it was bright outside, Darryl let out a soft breath. He opened his eyes and got up, going down to the hall on the first floor to get some fresh air.
Yet just then, a charming figure walked in slowly.
It was Gigi.
Gigi was dressed in a long white dress today that made her look absolutely ethereal.
What was she doing here?
Darryl was startled at the sight of Gigi, as he took in the view of her stunning curves before his gaze landed on what she was holding.
All that could be seen in Gigi's hands were two steaming bowls of breakfast.
"Sect Master!"
Reaching Darryl, Gigi seemed to be slightly embarrassed as her face flushed, and she said softly, "I've got you to thank for yesterday at the fighting tournament. I didn't know what to get you, so I thought I'd make you and Sofia breakfast."
As she spoke, Gigi placed the food on the table.
Gigi's opinion of Darryl completely changed after what had happened at the fighting tournament. She also no longer treated him with any of the arrogance from before, and instead was nothing but gentle and kind.
On that note, Gigi had prepared for the worst after her treatment toward Andres. She had never expected that Darryl would appear at the last second to help her out.
More importantly, Darryl did not have any powers at all but was able to defeat Andres to the point of him begging for mercy.
Just then, Sofia smelt the food and sat up as she rubbed her eyes. Her eyes widened at the sight of the food on the table. "That smells wonderful! Is there some for me, Sister Gigi?"
"Of course!" Gigi could not help but chuckle. "Don't you see I've brought two portions over?" As she spoke, she gazed at Sofia fondly.
Sofia had grown up in the Pure Yang Division and was firm friends with Gigi. Gigi saw Sofia like a sister.
Sofia let out a little cheer at the answer, hurrying over and tasting the food before bursting into approval. "This tastes amazing! If only you could send us breakfast all the time, Sister Gigi."
Sofia was blunt with her words, saying whatever came to her mind.
At the words, Gigi blushed immediately as she scrambled to say, "In your dreams! I don't have the time to be doing this every single day."
As she spoke, Gigi snuck a glance at Darryl, unable to hide her embarrassment.
In an attempt to avoid being seen, Gigi had gone out of her way to be extra cautious of her surroundings when sending breakfast over. After all, she was the head pupil of the division and still had her purity. The decision to send Darryl breakfast was one that she had taken quite some time to mull over before making it.
She could care less if people saw her sending food to Sofia, but they might spread rumors about her and Darryl.
