'Father… mother…'

Fairy Aila Cherryweave grabbed her bosom as she felt immense pain in her chest.

She took the secret path in order to leave, and she didn't meet any trouble, but each step she took in order to leave her own family was stabbing her heart. She knew it would come to this stage more or less but never imagined that it would be this painful.

"Why… just why wouldn't they see him as a person…?"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave cried out lightly as she sobbed.

Status-wise, he was superior, and prowess-wise, he was number one in the entire First Haven World, yet they couldn't be together just because he was an Anarchic Divergent?

That felt so unfair that she felt pained in his stead, but he was so carefree, not appearing to be in pain whenever people cast a gaze full of rejection.

They rejected him, but he was too strong, so instead of going after him, they would rather kill her than allow an Anarchic Divergent like him to get her, as honor was more important to them.

Therefore, she had no choice but to escape.

Within a few minutes after clearing a maze, she was out of the city and ran up the stairs to exit into the wilderness.

As soon as she flew out, light flashed, and a heavy pressure came crashing down on her.

"…!"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave quivered. Her body instantly flashed with a pink light, becoming covered in a purplish-pink jelly-like substance. They appeared like motes of light gathering around her, which made the air around her rather slippery.

*Rak~* *Rak!~*

Abruptly, three red wooden spikes shot toward her from all sides.

The place she exited was inside a forest, so the flora was pretty dense but Fairy Aila Cherryweave knew some people were lying await as a formation tried to suppress her.

Like a fish in the sea, she easily slipped through the air like she was passing through a tube connected to a current. It allowed her to easily dodge the three red spikes that shot towards her.

At that moment, she caught sight of a certain youth whose visage she was all too familiar with.

"Joren…!"

"You traitorous bitch…" Joren Cherryweave, the strongest youth in the Cherryweave Family, growled, "I know why you would escape using the secret path after that bastard showed up."

"You…" Fairy Aila Cherryweave gained distance as she tried to move back, but she was oppressed by a formation, still caught within and at the same time, there were two Grand Elders blocking the two exits in this path.

She clenched her teeth, "… we are childhood friends. Why are you doing this…?"

"Childhood friends? Ha!" Joren Cherryweave sneered as Immortal Emperor's undulations boomed, "I loved you so much, but you never looked at me the way you did for him. Ever since you came back from the secret realm, you've never been the same. I won't go down like that foolish Haizen Rubyshroud. I bet even until the end, Selene Lunaris never loved him despite her declaration. If my guess is right, she pitied that weak fellow as you pity me with those condescending eyes of yours."

"You dare defile her name!?" Fairy Aila Cherryweave screamed out, appearing pissed.

No one gets to badmouth her friend, who met a tragic end. It became a sore spot in her heart that she couldn't save her.

"There you go— you never saw me for who I am and always looked down on me, even going so far as to annul the marriage agreement back then, so don't blame me for trying to get back my honor. Die, wench!"

Joren Cherryweave jumped and threw a fist. His attack transformed into a garland of cherry tied with pinkish silky strands. It shot towards Fairy Aila Cherryweave, exploding in the midst of her range.

Fairy Aila Cherryweave placed the back of her hand over her nose and used her Silken Cherry Physique to counter the effects of the spores. One whiff and an average cultivator of equal level was done as their entire body would go limp.

To add on to the wooden menace and spores comprised of Wood Laws and Charm Laws, their silken arts can also prove to be pretty fatal, making them quite deadly.

'It's useless. I must burn my blood essence to escape…'

One look at the situation and Fairy Aila Cherryweave could tell that she would not be able to escape the Grand Elders even if she got out of the formation as they were waiting for the right moment to strike her.

It seems the Grand Elders of the opposing faction were pissed that she didn't choose their heir, Joren Cherryweave, or they were moving against her father. Either way, she harrumphed.

"Ridiculous fools… I am the Celestial Fairy, the Young Mistress of the Cherryweave Family who has inherited the Silken Cherry Physique that allows me to- "

*Bang!~*

The formation shattered, and Joren Cherryweave was crushed underneath a black hand that came from above. It extinguished the back of his robe and left a huge handprint across his back while he lay there on the grassland motionless, appearing to have been knocked out in one hit.

The elongated hand made up of black soul force rose above and joined with a purple-robed man who kept his hands between his sleeves as he maintained an amused smile on his face. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I thought I said you should decide in two days, not two minutes."

"My love~"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave's expression blossomed as she saw Davis hovering in the sky.

She looked towards the two Grand Elders but then saw there was a large swelling on their heads while a little Earth Dragon flew cutely while flapping its brownish-golden wings that were also as tiny as its body.

"Hehe~ So weak…"

Mira giggled as she flew around them like an annoying bug.

Seeing this scene, Fairy Aila Cherryweave relaxed, allowing her to take a step to the skies as she soared towards him.

She quickly appeared before him, knowing that he had never left her.

However, he really did go away, but he left a soul mark on her when he touched her cheek, so he would know her location, and since it had moved to the outskirts, he got worried a bit, so when he came back to see her being besieged, he was pissed.

He didn't think harm would befall her since he confirmed that her parents cared about her very much, and that's why he had been extra careful in accepting her as he didn't want to break their family, but if her affection towards him spanned this much, then he felt like he had to give his answer sincerely.

Nonetheless, he should've known that there were always one or two old foggies who didn't want the other faction's star growing more than necessary, or they would be plucked out from the skies.

"Should I kill him?" Davis raised his brows, "I heard you saying he was your childhood friend."

"No need. He just lost his way since he loves me too much, but after this experience, I doubted he'd come closer to my side. Hopefully, he could turn a new leaf…"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave shook her head before she pursed her lips, "But if you… doubt my intentions… I won't say no."

Davis couldn't help but smile, "The doubting period is over."

"Then…"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave probed, only to see Davis gesture with his head.

"Come, let's go to our home."

"…!"

Fairy Aila Cherryweave shuddered. Just before she could react, her hand was grabbed, and she felt herself pulled alongside him as they traversed the forest on the outskirts, making their way out.

"Master, wait…!"

Mira yelled out as she followed behind them, but in her tiny hands were two spatial rings she had stolen.
