Sealed in ancient times

Alice was just about to speak when the back of her collar was suddenly grabbed by a large hand, and then she was lifted up. Her petite body was instantly suspended in mid - air. Seeing that Caesar was about to throw her into the stream in the next second, Alice was so panicked that she quickly wrapped her arms around Caesar's neck tightly like an octopus, and her two long legs also quickly wrapped around his waist. "Your Highness, I'm sorry." Alice said with a mournful face in a hurry, "There's another way. When I reach the cultivation level of the Spirit Emperor, I can break the bond." "Tear ——" Suddenly, there was a sound of clothes tearing. It turned out that Caesar had torn her collar, and a small patch of skin on her back was exposed. The skin was fair and delicate, and it was particularly conspicuous in the dim environment. "Get off me, you wretch!" Caesar's deep, angry voice echoed continuously at the bottom of the cliff, making Alice's eardrums ache as if they were about to burst. If she hadn't had no magic power at this time, Caesar would have probably shaken her off with his magic long ago. "Your Highness, I'll get down right away. Please don't be angry." Seeing that he was really angry, Alice didn't dare to be willful anymore and quickly jumped off him. After standing firmly, Alice looked up at Caesar and said in a consultative tone, "Your Highness, I know you definitely don't want to have an intimate connection with me. Now there's only one way. When I become the Spirit Emperor, the chain of destiny between you and me will be automatically broken." "You, a useless person who can't practice magic, still want to become the Spirit Emperor?" Caesar narrowed his deep eyes slightly. His voice seemed to be wrapped with countless ice cubes, bone - chillingly cold, making people tremble all over. The coldness went straight up from the spine. He stared at the woman in front of him tightly. Although her face was covered with blood and dirt, she had a lively air about her. Especially those eyes, blinking and flickering, with a sly glint occasionally flashing through them, making her look different from the women he had seen before. Alice immediately patted her chest and promised confidently, "There's a seal within me. When the seal is removed, I can practice magic." Caesar raised an eyebrow. He did sense that there was a seal within her, and it was an ancient seal. It seemed that this woman had many secrets hidden within her. Mysterious pupils, ancient seals... all these indicated that she was by no means an ordinary person. "Without the cultivation level of the Spirit Emperor, you can't shake this seal at all." Caesar said. Alice had a meek and flattering look on her face. She secretly stretched out her hand, grasped Caesar's long and well - defined palm, and shook it like a spoiled child, "Your Highness, I know you're the best. Please help me break the seal. I will surely practice hard and strive to break through to the Spirit Emperor's cultivation level as soon as possible!" When the soft and warm little hand was stuffed into his own, Caesar was in a daze for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the hands that were in contact. A strange and indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He... seemed not to dislike this contact. The little hand was so soft, and the warm temperature seemed to spread throughout his body along his fingertips. In the darkness, the man's ear tips turned slightly red, but no one noticed. "Let go." Caesar said coldly. "Okay, Your Highness." Alice readily let go of her hand, showing an obedient and sensible appearance. Seeing this, Caesar quietly put his hands behind his back, as if this could eliminate that strange feeling. "I can break part of the seal for you. However, even if it's broken, you're still too weak right now. Anyone can easily take your life. For my safety, you have to come back with me." "No!" Alice refused without hesitation. Go back with him? Wouldn't that mean having her freedom restricted by him? Just thinking about it made Alice feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, and a sense of loneliness and desolation filled her whole body. "You have no choice!" Caesar gave her a cold glance, with an air of indisputable authority in his eyes. If Grimm and Murphy were here and heard Alice's resolute refusal, they would surely curse her for being extremely stupid. Following His Majesty was a great gift and opportunity for them! The smile on Alice's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a serious look, "I still have family. I can't leave them." Caesar was silent. He seemed to be thinking about something. Alice raised her hand and untied the belt around her waist. The coat, which was covered with blood and dirt, became loose, revealing the pink undergarment inside. "What are you doing?" Caesar was shocked. He quickly took a step back and then turned his head away quickly, not daring to look anymore. "If you think it's unrealistic for me to cultivate to become the Spirit Emperor, then the best way now is ——" "Shut up!" Caesar scolded. He knew clearly that she was blatantly threatening him. Actually, he had many ways to make her submit, such as extracting her memory or turning her into an idiot and then imprisoning her... "I promise you, but you must cultivate to become the Spirit Emperor within three years. If you can't, you will lose your freedom after three years." Hearing this, Alice curled the corners of her mouth into a smug smile. "Your Highness, you're really handsome and kind." Alice said with a grin. Caesar only felt his temples throbbing, giving him a headache. —— The next morning. Alice came out from the bottom of the cliff. To be exact, she was driven out by Caesar. Alice recalled that last night, Caesar had been breaking the seal for her all night, but only one - seventh of it was broken. However, she could now sense magic power and could also see her magic source and spiritual sea through her spiritual consciousness. Only, her magic source seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Her magic source was a small lake, while in her memory, the magic source of others was like a piece of land. She could look inside her magic source, and Caesar could also explore it. She noticed that Caesar frowned and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes after seeing it. Obviously, even he didn't know what was going on. In the center of the lake - like magic source, there was a strange and complicated magic mark pattern. The pattern was like seven iron chains intertwined together. Now, one of the chains was broken. The road ahead is long and has no end; yet high and low I'll search with my will unbending. This seal was probably related to the original owner's mother, Isabella. Isabella's origin was mysterious. According to her grandfather, she had excellent alchemy skills and her strength was unfathomable. Alice was wearing a large black robe. Her small face had been cleaned, and her features were as delicate as a painting. Her bright eyes were like shining stars, her eyelashes were long and curly, and her skin was fair and delicate like milk, just like a little fairy of fourteen or fifteen years old. "Ouch..." Alice wrinkled her small face and moaned in pain and sorrow. Her whole body was sore. Even the slightest movement was like torture. "Damn Caesar. Right after you broke the seal for me, you drove me, a weak woman, out. You're really not a gentleman at all." Alice muttered softly, "When I rise to power, I'll make you my servant!" What she didn't know was that her words of scolding Caesar had already reached his ears. Caesar's face suddenly turned as dark as night, his teeth clenched with a crunching sound, and his eyes burned with anger. Finally, he slightly opened his thin lips and coldly spat out three words: "Very well!" Alice walked for a long time. Along the way, she encountered several groups of magical beasts, but fortunately, she managed to avoid them without danger. When she couldn't avoid them, she used the ancient martial arts she had learned in her previous life to deal with them. In her previous life, she was a genius and dabbled in various knowledge and skills. Among them, she was most proficient in the mysterious pupil technique and the occult, followed by ancient martial arts. Strangely, up to now, the magical beasts she had encountered were only of the second or third order. Magical beasts are divided into the first to the ninth order, and then there are sacred magical beasts. Sacred magical beasts also have nine orders. After that, there are divine beasts, super - divine beasts, and so on. This was already the deep part of the Flame - like Forest. Why wasn't there a single high - level magical beast? It was really strange. Moreover, the entire deep part of the Flame - like Forest was filled with an unusual aura. Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, squatted down on the spot, and picked up a dry branch...
