Chapter 264
The thing that Daisy mentioned was simply too embarrassing, and Caspian did not want to talk about it anymore.
Hence, he quickly changed the subject.
“When we met before, you hadn’t started cultivating.
Do you mind telling me how you ended up stepping foot on the pathway to immortality?”
Daisy rolled her eyes at Caspian.
Then, she walked to a corner, sat while hugging her knees, and snorted.
“You want me to tell you about it? Then, beg me!”
Caspian did not say anything else, and he lay on the floor, not moving at all.
The burning sensation was still ongoing, but Caspian was surprised to find that his blood flow became faster with the existence of the severe pain.
Thus, Caspian’s wounds healed quickly too.
Not only that, but Caspian could also feel that due to the burst of energy, his body was strengthening.
That was the effect of the Immortal Demon Physique.
Caspian even had the urge to ask Daisy to beat him up ruthlessly again or let the tiny snakes bite him.
However, Caspian thought that he might sound like a freak if he asked Daisy to do that.
Hence, he had no choice but to give up on his thoughts.
As Caspian quietly focused on the intense pain to improve himself, Daisy was also staring at him angrily, not making any sound.
In that instant, the snow cave returned to its previous serenity.
After some time, Daisy could not bear it anymore.
Although she appeared fierce when she faced Caspian, Daisy knew that she did not look for Caspian just to argue with him.
Then, she looked around and said, “Humph.
I think you’ve suffered enough.
I’ll just show you some mercy.
I’m now a cultivator, but I can’t tell you the origins yet.
However, I can reveal that I’ve been on the pathway to immortality earlier than you, which was shortly after you left Astren with your troops.”
Caspian pondered for a moment and calmly said, “If that’s the case, you’ve cleared a few confusions Ihad before.”
“Are you talking about why you were suddenly wrongly imprisoned?” Daisy asked.
“The sect you’re in probably has the same status as Carson’s Great Ocean Sect.
Otherwise, they would’ve never agreed to the marriage proposal at that time,” Caspian replied.
That time, Daisy was the one taken aback.
”You even know that Carson entered the Great Oceans Sect? Then, you’re aware of his Demon Python Form?”
“I am…” Caspian nodded.
”It seems that the Great Oceans Sect highly values Carson’s Demon Python Form, and they want to support him to get the throne.
However, I was extremely popular in the country back then, and I was in his way.
However, I feel that there‘s a loophole in this reasoning.”
“What loophole?” Daisy’s eyes flashed.
“If I’m still in Salleria, this reasoning will be logical.
Carson, my younger brother, wanted to get the throne, and the sect even supported him, but he’s blocked by the greatly beloved and supported elder brother.
Naturally, he needed to find a reason to not only ruin my reputation but eradicate me so that he could smoothly take over the seat,” Caspian explained, “However after I started cultivating, I understood that this reason was based on my identity as a mortal.
As a cultivator, I’ll have to consider the cultivation resources, my realm, and whether l can continue to grow.
The mortal’s throne is just like dirt for a cultivator. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
At the very least, a small country like Salleria won’t be valued by cultivators at all.”
When Daisy heard Caspian’s observation, her eyes flickered with admiration.
Nonetheless, she still stubbornly mocked him, “I thought your brain was damaged as I hit you too hard before.
It seems that I didn’t smack you hard enough.”
Caspian chuckled.
“Do you know the real reason behind that?”
Daisy instantly quietened.
Silence sometimes meant acquiescence.
Nevertheless, Caspian did not urge her, as he was patient enough.
After some time, Daisy raised her head.
Then, she sat straight and extended her delicate legs, looking at Caspian with a burning gaze.
“Caspian, do you want to know the truth?”
“I’ve wanted to ask about this long ago, but I just didn’t have the chance.” Caspian smiled.
“If you tell me, I’ll repay you.”
“Who cares about that! Don’t forget that we’re enemies, and you invaded my country, forcing my father to abdicate!” Daisy angrily waved her tiny fists, “Moreover, I’ve sworn that I must make you pay with your blood.
Besides, I’ve saved you countless times, so it’s only right that you repay me.”
“Yes.
It’s only right,” Caspian nodded, “That’s why I said I’ll repay you.”
Initially, Daisy did not hope for Caspian to repay her.
In truth, their relationship was much more complicated than what other people would have imagined.
Their relationship was not only due to the grievance between Salleria and Astren, but there was also a lot of involvement between the two.
They were so deeply involved that after Caspian ran into trouble at the border, Daisy searched for him for two years.
Therefore, when she heard Caspian’s solemn reply, Daisy did not know what to say.
Finally, after pondering for a moment, Daisy replied, “Let’s talk about it next time.
No matter what, remember that you owe me two lives.”
“Alright.” Caspian nodded.
“I know why those bunch of people in Salleria wanted to deal with you, and I can even tell you that Astren attacked Salleria that year because we‘ve found this secret.” Daisy’s face revealed a grave expression.
In truth, Daisy was aware that it was inappropriate for her to say or do these things, and she was not even allowed to.
However, Daisy also understood that she could not keep it a complete secret as long as it concerned Caspian.
Perhaps after the series of events that year, Daisy could no longer hide anything from Caspian anymore.
“Caspian, what I’m going to say next might completely ruin your previous beliefs.
Are you sure you want to listen to them?” Daisy asked again after taking a deep breath.
“I never do things that I regret.
Besides, this concerns me.
Of course, I’m interested,” Caspian chuckled, “I don’t want to go back muddle-headed.”
Caspian’s laughter pierced through Daisy’s heart.
His eyes were full of spirit like that year, and it was enough to make her miss him every night for the past two years.
“What I’m worried about the most… Are you wanting to go back..?” Daisy secretly sighed.
Then, she raised her head and said, “Caspian, have you ever thought about it? Carson has a Demon Python Form and was selected by the Great Oceans Sect, but no one tested your physique before to see if you have cultivation talent.”
Without waiting for Caspian’s answer, Daisy exclaimed, “It‘s because they don’t want to! Since you were born, the King of Salleria, Edgar Montgomery, never trusted you!”
