"You want to come with me?" Akira asked as if she didn't expect him to want to come with her.
But before Damien could say anything, Akira stepped closer and said with furrowed brows, "No, Damien. You know how dangerous it is outside, and you also almost lost your arm. Oh…it's already healed?" Akira noticed how Damien's injured arm was no longer injured but as good as new.
"Did you swallow the pill??" Akira asked with a shocked expression.
"You did not want me to?" Damien asked, feeling a bit confused, and added, "One of your old servants told me that you wanted me to ingest this pill right away. He even insisted on watching me swallow it."
"That old insect. I have been too soft on all of them. I will have him crushed soon. See…this is how everyone here would see you. They think that your life is worth nothing. I will use him as an example so that nobody would dare to harm you again," Akira said with killing intent in her eyes, making Damien feel a bit moved. It was not because she was willing to kill some old servant, but he could see how much she cared about him.
"That Rank 8 Pill is too strong for you to absorb alone. You are barely at the middle levels of the Heaven Ethereal Realm. I was supposed to help you guide the medicinal power of the pill through your body. Any other cultivator in your place might have already died. How are you still alright?" Akira asked, feeling even more astonished the more she thought about it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe already knew her nephew was a genius considering the weak place in which he grew up. But this just baffled her.
Damien smiled as he said, "See, I am not as weak as I seem. This is why I want you to let me come with you. I won't anyway be alone like before. I also know my way around alchemy, so I am used to dealing with powerful pills."
What Damien said was partially true since his knowledge of alchemy was so excellent he knew how to efficiently break down a powerful pill inside his body without even having to put his complete focus into it.
But the main reason he was alright was due to his body reinforced by divine draconic bloodline.
Damien could still see that Akira was reluctant and added, "I promise to stay safe if a situation comes up."
Akira sighed, seeing how determined Damien was, and said, "Alright. But you have to stay right behind me all the time. Let's go."
Damien smiled as he eagerly followed Akira, and soon enough, the two took to the skies, with Akira using her energy to bring Damien along with her.

Elsewhere, in the Blackthorn Station, four drop-dead gorgeous beauties were the talk of the town.
By now, rumors had already spread that their station had got four new additions where these four breathtaking beauties were from the Land of Salvation which was quite a shocking fact since nobody had ever come out from that place in history.
The men were the most excited hearing this since it was as if they got some fresh air finally after all the fighting and suffering. Drinking and women were the only sources of relaxation and pleasure for men like these.
They felt that this was the right time to see if they could make these four swoon over them.
But alas, unfortunately for them, these four women found it quite frustrating that their arrival here caused unnecessary attention to the point a bunch of men and women wearing dark blue uniforms stood before them right before Farah could show them to their quarters.
Other than this group of two men and two women in dark blue uniforms, there was a small gathering around this place as if they were waiting to take a look at those rumored heavenly beauties.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd indeed, when they saw these four, they were spellbound by their otherworldly elegance and beauty. They had no doubt all these women had noble blood in their veins based on their bearings except for that rosy pink-haired tall beauty who was exuding a chilling aura.
Since most of the men here were leading a frugal life, women and any sort of wealth was a luxury to them. Pretty women were few, and even then, most of these women were either already taken by powerful men, or they were powerful in their own right like their Station Lord, Kena.
But these four surely were prettier than anything they had ever seen in their entire lives.
A man with a bulky body among this group of four stepped forward with a flippant smile, "I thought the rumors were bogus but look at this beautiful sight. The Land of Salvation truly lives up to its name. Are most of the women over there as pretty as you four? If so, my friends, we have been really missing out by being stuck in this god-forsaken place."
"Sigh, you are right, Brother Gunner. We really missed out on a lot," Another man in a dark blue uniform said with a frivolous smile while ogling at these four.
Valentina's nails dug into her skin upon feeling his dirty gaze and was about to act when Lily grabbed her wrist and shook her head, telling her to not pay any attention to these rude men.
Lily was not used to such gazes and remarks since back in her homeland, she was a respected noble princess, and nobody would dare to show such disrespect towards her.
But here, not only her but her sisters had no real identities here. As far as others were concerned, they were only refugees, and this was why Lily stopped Valentina since she didn't want to make these people think they came here to cause trouble.
At least, Lily didn't want her or her sisters to be the first to throw a fist. Reva and Yuria were thinking in the same line as Lily and decided to see how far these fools were going to take it while Farah silently looked on with an amused look.
"Since you all are new here. Why don't you fair maidens let us show you around our station and have some drinks together and get to know each other, eh?" Gunner asked with a glib smile.
