Chapter 279 Families Hobby And Motto
"It works" Aimy's voice sounded as she looked at the shining door before her in amazement, Seth doing the same but with narrowed eyes till he noticed Irene walking up to him.
"Seth I'm sorry," Irene said the moment she got close to him, reaching out for his left hand that hung by its side before looking up at him.
"lying and apologizing must be a hobby of your family," Seth said, a frown marring his face as he kept staring at the green door-shaped light which was embedded in the wall.
"Seth I …" Irene was seeing but a raised finger from Seth stopped her.
"Don't start with your apologies, just tell me what I'm staring at, is it a trap you've prepared for me."
Irene wanted to persist, but she thought over it and decided to comply with his wishes.
"It's a portal door, it leads to an underground cave where the soul fruits are."
"So we'll just walk into it and then we'll be taken to where the soul fruits are," Seth asked.
"Yes," Irene answered.
"Fine, you'll go in first, Aimy and I will come after."
"Seth do you really think I'll betray you, here at this point, when we've come so far," Irene said, turning Seth's face towards her.
"I could think about that but I won't, rather than stress my mind and arrive at a conclusion that you will later prove wrong, I think I'll just fall back to my old ways."
"You can decide to go in now or you can stay here and in the end, not even your corpse will exist when I stick my dick In Aimy," Seth said a grin on his face as he stared at Irene.
Hearing Seth's words struck a cord in Irene as she couldn't help but take a step back.
How long had it been since Seth had given her the death option, so many things had happened that she had forgotten that she had never intended to bring him to the soul fruits, yet here she was having lead him straight to the soul fruit.
Irene wanted to defend herself, but she was scared of what might happen if she pushed Seth too far, the thought that he might hate her or decide to attack her scared her, so in the end, she turned and walked towards the green light.
"Aimy don't make Seth angry, do as he says," Irene said throwing Aimy a glare before looking at Seth one last time and then walking into the green light.
With each step Iren took into the light, her figure slowly disappeared, each part of her body no longer visible till her figure completely disappeared
With Irene gone, Seth moved to turn and face Aimy, wanting to set her straight, but then Aimy spoke first.
"She left me all alone with you without even worrying that you'll harm me."
"Don't start, I know you won't do anything to me" Aimy said when Seth turned to her, and before he could reply she wrapped her hands around his neck and then using him as leverage jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist.
With Aimy's actions they both stared at each other for a few minutes and then Aimy spoke,
"Ehh, Seth, I'm slipping hold me"
With a sigh Seth placed his hand under the woman's bum and propped her up, making it easier for her to hang on to him.
"You aren't a dumb or naïve guy, so you know what Irene did is only logical, which makes me arrive at the conclusion that you aren't angry with Irene, you're angry with yourself aren't you," Aimy said.
"Aren't you supposed to be noisy, clumsy, and clueless?" Seth asked with a raised eyebrow
"I am, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm over a 100 years older than you and have cultivated up to the 9th mortal stage, I have my own experiences" Aimy defended.
Without missing a point, Aimy was right with her deduction.
As someone who was on guard against Irene, Seth should have considered everything she told him, yet the fact that she had lied to him about the final location of the soul fruit pissed him off.
Though in the grand scheme. It was a minute lie, the fact that he had believed it and had sometimes built a few plans with it as the foundation made him feel like a fool.
It would have been better if the woman had kept the whole map thing to herself than to give him some half ass information.
"So you also know about the lie," Seth asked.
"No, but I did detect the change in atmosphere after you looked around the cave," Aimy said.
"While I can't say for Iren why she lied to you, I can tell you that she does care for you and must be divested at the thought that you know hate her".
"She was just too emotional, worrying about how you feel to see through your act."
"Considering your lie about how many people can use the exam scroll, I don't think I should be hearing this from you," Seth said releasing his hold on Aimy's butt and sending her crashing to the ground
"Ouch," Aimy groaned but then pushed herself up.
"Seth that was mean" Aimy cried," besides I didn't technically lie to you, you just never asked about it, so I saw no need to tell you," Aimy said in a near whisper tone.
Hearing Aimy words, Seth sighed and began walking towards the portal, but then Aimy quickly went after him and held on to his arm.
"Your right Seth 'I'm sorry for keeping out that information, but I have changed."
"Sorry and change must be your families motto for life," Seth said, and before Aimy could fully process his words, he held onto her arm which was holding his, and pulled her with him into the green light, both of their bodies being sucked in by it till they were gone
