Start Of The Journey On The Wind Wolf!

"No, she's a little girl, just fifteen years old." the latter answered. All of them were surprised since nobody tried to look into her so broadly, so they did not try to probe anything apart from cultivation. 

What surprised them the most was a beast as young as this wolf be a Venerable; her talent could be considered above Thalia's.

"Umm? What makes her so special," Thalia, of course, found nothing when she probed once more, same with Qing.

Hera found something but did not know how to explain it; the Goddess looked at her son and saw a smile, she kept quiet.

"Hehe, that's a secret now, shall we..." he looked at Thalia, and she nodded, and they both climbed on the back of Fenrir, ready to go.

"Wait, Son," the Goddess went near them. She was grasping something in her hand, and after reaching him, she placed it on his chest.

A rube was in her hand and placed in the pendant space where the previous rube, a Nirvana treasure, used to sit.

It sat there perfectly since she crafted e everything with the size of the pendant at the back of her head.

"There's a protective formation in the rube piece; when in any dangerous situation, it will enter your body so no one can remove it if they overpowered you or if you lost while in the battle; that way, it will form a protective formation around you.

Only if a person of my caliber attacks can it break after three consecutive attacks can it break." by then, she will already be there; even as she finished, the Goddess did not take her hands off his chest.

He brought his hand to hers and squeezed it gently. She looked at him, and when their eyes met, he gave her a warm smile.

"Don't worry, Mom, I am going to be okay and remember, I have Thalia and Fenrir with me, so even if a Demi Immortal attacks us, we shall be okay!" he said.

"Humph, who's worried about a grown-up man like you? Okay, off you go," she said. Phate smiled before he patted Fenrir; she got the signal and immediately sprinted off.

"Whoah!" he shouted at her sudden speed. He had never enjoyed the privilege of sitting on a beast as cheap as it was in this world, and now experiencing the speed of Fenrir while they mounted on her back, he felt a new, different kind of thrill.

Sometimes, he felt like he would fall off, and he had to hold onto her fur or wound his arms around Thalia, who sat in front of him instinctively, sometimes even shouting.

Luckily, their route passed through the Ice forest so nobody could see them.

It would have been so embarrassing.

The Ice forest was vast, and the trees lacked any leaves as if they were dry. It was a home for many dangerous Ice beasts, but they did not run into one; maybe they felt threatened by the Venerable cultivator and beast.

"Thalia, where are we going?" he shouted; funny thing, the young man did not know where he was going. He was enjoying the ride.

"Prince, I can hear you; there's no need to shout. We're heading to Frost City. It is some distance away from here, and it is the only place we can find a long-distance teleportation station from the palace."

Thalia explained that the Goddess wanted them to adventure before he reached Frost City.

The Dark Realm was a long distance from the Snow Continent, and if they did not want to go through many teleportation circles, it was better to use the Central station in the largest city in the Snow Continent.

"Why didn't Mother just take us directly to the dark realm?" he asked himself. He forgot to ask this as he was thrilled to ride Fenrir.

"Maybe the Goddess did not want to spoil you too much; she wanted us to experience the life of relying on ourselves." Thalia gave her opinion.

'You have no idea,' he scoffed inwardly; he had experienced the poorest life the world had to offer, and right now, with his status, he did not want to go through any hardship. He was sure his mother knew that, too, hence the presence of Thalia.

She followed him to do everything for him, more like a maid but a high-level one. There had to be another reason than what Thalia was thinking.

"Why didn't Mother put her sect in the capital of the Snow continent?" Although he knew the answer, he wanted to have a conversation with Thalia, where she needed to talk so much.

He wanted to listen more than talk but still hated silence, so that was the only way to let Thalia do the talking.

"No big reason. The Goddess wanted a quiet place away from the capital of the Snow Continent. By the way, Prince, can you tell me about Fenrir?" she asked, still curious about the wolf.

"Umm, I can, but it's not for free since I wanted to keep this secret even from Mother," he said, baiting her.

"Wait, you mean even the Goddess doesn't know the truth behind the uniqueness of Fenrir?" Thalia was surprised.

From the looks of the things before, the Goddess seemed to know about Fenrir, but Phate was saying otherwise.

"I can't say that she's green, but she doesn't know the real truth. So it's only me, and I can't jeopardize the safety of my sweet wolf here for free!" he stroked the latter's fur gently.

That's the truth; the Goddess only saw that Fenrir had a unique bloodline, but Phate knew everything from her fated destiny, mother, father, and what made her so unique that her family would even kill her at sight.

"Even me, who's going to be following you? You don't trust me at all, Prince," She turned around and looked at him with wronged eyes.

"That won't fool me, dear Thalia," he poked her nose and said, "We have to make a deal in return for my Fenrir's secret," he said.

Awff! Awff! Fenrir made weird sounds, only he knew what she meant.

"What do you want then?" Thalia asked, not that she agreed; she just wanted to see what this little boy was up to...

"Don't be so impatient, Thalia. See, we're here already," he said; Thalia turned her eyes away. She looked beyond and saw the city. Although not too big by this world's standard.
