Mister Han Shuo, on behalf of Lord Manticole, I thank you for helping War Demon Valley!" As soon as Bord met Han Shuo, he performed the proper abyssal etiquette to express his gratitude to Han Shuo. He was extremely friendly in his approach.
With the intention of locating the interplanar portal of this realm through Manticole, a demon king of the Abyss realm, Han Shuo returned the pleasure with a smile and said, "You're welcome. For Lord Crosius to show me such warm hospitality, as a visiting advisor to War Demon Valley, it was only fair that I resolve the crisis facing War Demon Valley!"
"Mr Han Shuo is too polite," Zinia said with a smile. She shot a glance at Crosius before continuing to Han Shuo, "Considering Mister Han Shuo's strength, it is a great insult to your extraordinary talent to be merely a visiting advisor in War Demon Valley. Therefore, Bord and I will immediately recommend Mr Han Shuo to the Lord. With the Lord's generosity towards his friends, I believe he will certainly provide you with the answers to all your questions about the interplanar portal."
"Thank you then. Hmm, now that the crisis in War Demon Valley has been pretty much resolved, I see no point in staying in War Demon Valley any longer. Lord Crosius, if you don't mind, I'll go to Black Jade City with the two lords," Han Shuo announced.
"Of course I don't mind. For a being like Mr Han Shuo to stay in my War Demon Valley as a visiting advisor is really an injustice to you. Besides, Mister Han Shuo still has important matters to attend to. As your friend, I cannot keep you from doing greater things. Crosius clearly understood that the War Demon Valley couldn't possibly offer enough for a being who could kill three Shadow Warriors without breaking a sweat. When such a being arrived in the Black Jade City, glory, honour, wealth and beauty would be within reach. He might even need Han Shuo's help in the future. As the master of War Demon Valley, Crosius was not unaware of the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Han Shuo.
"Then thank you Lord Crosius," Han Shuo smiled. But soon the eyebrows on his face knitted together as the thought of Jasper flooded his mind. He turned to her and asked, "Jasper, um, about that, what are you going to do?"
Han Shuo suddenly remembered that Jasper, Hemanna and Sylph, all three ladies had had sexual relations with him and were all his women. When Han Shuo was still in the carnal realm, he had been rash in his actions, paying little attention to possible future consequences. But now that his heart had been pacified, he had no choice but to consider the three ladies.
In any case, this Abyss realm would never be Han Shuo's home. He would return to the Profound Continent sooner or later. Han Shuo didn't mind taking the three foreign ladies back to the Profound Continent. However, as the three ladies were born and bred in the Abyss Realm, he was not so sure that they would even think of leaving their homeland and following Han Shuo into a completely unknown world.
"You are my man! Wherever you go, I'll follow you!" Jasper said with utmost determination and not a second of hesitation, shattering Han Shuo's expectations.
"Jasper, you need to think this through carefully. I am not from the Abyss Realm. The reason I am going to Black Jade City is to find a way to leave the Abyss Realm. If you follow me, you may never return. Are you sure you want to follow me?" Han Shuo asked, astonished at Jasper's conviction.
"Jass!" Before Jasper could open his mouth, Crosius, who had been thinking of ways to curry favour with Han Shuo, suddenly turned dull and called out Jasper's pet name. He was clearly reluctant to part with Jasper, but he stammered and couldn't say a word as he stared at her.
Although he had entrusted Jasper to Han Shuo as her father, Crosius was in no way interested in never seeing his daughter again. In the beginning, Crosius had only thought about fawning over Han Shuo and had not really considered this as a potential problem. But now, after hearing Han Shuo's words and remembering Han Shuo's wonders, Crosius suddenly felt as if he was about to lose his only daughter, and his heart was in great turmoil.
"My honoured father, please forgive me. I choose to follow him. Only with him can I truly know what happiness is. Father, please forgive your daughter for her disloyalty!" Jasper was no fool. From the moment she learned of Han Shuo's identity and his intention to enter the War Demon Valley, she knew that if she met Han Shuo, she would have to make a decision sooner or later. In fact, she had already made up her mind when she accepted Han Shuo. Therefore, Jasper did not hesitate for long before she said those words. Her eyes, however, are still wet with the sadness and sorrow of parting.
Crosius shook his head and let out a sigh before he forced out an unflattering smile. He looked at his child, who had just changed from a girl to a woman, and said, "I understand. It's OK. Daddy won't stop you. I just hope that if you really do leave for Han Shuo's world, you will find some time to come back and pay your old man a visit!"
"Understood. As long as there is a chance, I will come back to see you, Father." Her eyes reddened at these words. Although she had made this decision long ago, when it came to actually leaving the only family member she had, she couldn't quite keep a peaceful heart.
Like Jasper, the white of Crosius' eyes was tinted pink. He stared at Jasper deeply and fixedly with a helpless smile, as if trying to imprint the image of Jasper's face deep into his memory forever.
If I can find my way back to my world, I should be able to get back here. Don't worry, if it's possible, I will return to this Abyss realm. This place seems to suit me very well," Han Shuo reassured them as he suddenly thought of his Cemetery of Death.
"Alright, alright, if Mister Han Shuo does not mind, please leave with us right away. The journey from here to the Black Jade City will take some time. I believe the master will be very interested in Mr Han Shuo," Bord said smiling.
"Wait, there are two more women. I will take a trip to my manor and ask for their opinion," Han Shuo said apologetically. As he thought of Hemanna and Sylph, his heart immediately filled with warmth. The two talented ladies could bring Han Shuo joy and pleasure that he had never experienced before. Han Shuo really did not want to part with them.
"No problem. We will just go with you. As soon as you take care of this matter, we will leave together," Zinia said smiling. She thought to herself, "This guy is quite the womaniser. He has only been in War Demon Valley for a few days, and he has already fooled around with three beautiful ladies. It seems that I will have to inform the master of Black Jade City about his personality. If we put some effort into this aspect, this guy might be so addicted to pleasure that he would stay in Black Jade City forever.
Han Shuo could tell how much Bord and Zinia thought of him by the way they spoke. He nodded with a smile on his face and turned to Crosius. After thinking for a moment, he took out a space ring, handed it to Crosius and said, "This space ring is for you. It can hold many things. There's also a staff inside the ring that can strengthen the Earth Element. Since you are cultivating Earth Elemental energy, you can try to use it. It might even bring you some revelation in your cultivation."
After that, Han Shuo gave a brief instruction on how to use the space ring. As an expert in the realm of basegod, Crosius' body and soul had become completely one with the element of earth, and he only needed a slight reminder from Han Shuo before he immediately felt the faint mental power he possessed. With that, he easily unlocked the space ring.
"What a large space! This ring is truly miraculous!" Although Crosius' mental strength was weak, once he entered the space ring, he immediately understood the wonderful ability of the space ring. He gasped.
"That mental power you felt, as long as you take the time and effort to carefully meditate and understand it, it will form a wonderful bond with your soul, allowing you to use the element of earth in a special way," Han Shuo reminded Crosius.
Crosius, after all, had been very generous and lavish with Han Shuo during the days that Han Shuo had been in War Demon Valley, giving Han Shuo the best treatment. In the end, even his only daughter, Jasper, had been given to Han Shuo so willingly - as willingly as anyone could have let go of their precious daughter, anyway. Therefore, Han Shuo felt somewhat apologetic and decided to return the favour a little.
"Magic ring! That's a magic ring!" Bord exclaimed as he stared at Crosius' space ring in disbelief.
"Oh?" Han Shuo stared for a moment, impressed, before asking, "You know the functions of a space ring?"
"Of course. Lord Manticole also has a magic ring. It can store many things. His Lordship always wears it and treats it like a precious treasure. There's no mistake about that!" Bord explained as he looked enviously at Crosius.
Although Bord called it something else, Han Shuo could tell that he actually understood the use of a space ring. Making a space ring required not only a deep understanding of the Edict of Space, but also some knowledge of alchemy and some unique materials.
Although the Abyss realm was vast, the term 'alchemy' had never been heard of there. Moreover, the materials needed to construct a space ring did not seem to exist in this world. Therefore, even if there were beings in the Abyss realm who cultivated the Edict of Space, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to make a space ring. Hearing that Manticole, this demon king, was actually in possession of a space ring immediately gave Han Shuo some ideas.
"Thank you!" Crosius hastily expressed his gratitude after learning about the wonderful abilities of a space ring.
"You're welcome!" Han Shuo looked at Crosius one last time, nodded his head and left with Bord, Zinia and Jasper.
Hemanna and Sylph were as determined as Jasper to follow Han Shuo and leave the War Demon Valley with him.
