A Man Like None Other

Juliet held onto Jared’s hand, moving with utmost caution. As the formation plate was activated, the layered arcane arrays before them gradually began to reveal a sliver of an opening.

At that moment, Juliet was extremely cautious, meticulously unraveling the array runes and heading deeper into the arcane array.

Juliet’s forehead was already drenched in sweat, and her clothes were soaked through as well.

Even so, Juliet still held onto Jared, fearing that he might accidentally trigger the arcane array and cause an unexpected incident.

Jared looked at Juliet in front of him. Beads of sweat continuously dripped down her delicate cheeks, and her soaked-through clothing subtly hinted at her exquisite curves beneath.

While Jared was casually admiring Juliet’s figure, Juliet abruptly halted.

At the same time, Jared also sensed a dangerous aura. He regained his senses and looked ahead, discovering two Death Trap Formations before him.

It was clear that Rohan didn’t set up the two Death Trap Formations. Hence, his formation plate was utterly incapable of breaking through them.

Now, it all depended on Juliet to break through the arcane arrays.

“Jared, whatever you do, don’t move recklessly. I’m about to break through those two Death Trap Formations. If anything happens to me, you need to run back immediately. Don’t mind me.” After Juliet finished speaking, she surprisingly handed over the formation plate to Jared.

It seemed she had completely placed her trust in Jared.

Holding the formation plate, Jared was somewhat moved as he said, “Juliet, I believe in you. I know you can do it.”

Juliet gave a slight nod, though she wasn’t entirely confident. While she temporarily possessed Gael’s strength, she had absolutely no experience when it came to destroying arcane arrays.

Taking in Juliet’s nervous demeanor, Jared stepped forward and hugged her tightly. “Juliet, don’t be nervous. You must believe in yourself.”

Jared’s intention wasn’t to take advantage of Juliet. Rather, while he held Juliet, Jared snapped his fingers, sending a flash of white light toward the Death Trap Formations.

Although the Death Trap Formations were extremely dangerous, they were merely child’s play to Jared.

Jared did not choose to break the Death Trap Formations directly. Instead, he weakened their power before letting Juliet destroy them.

With that, Juliet wouldn’t harbor any suspicions. Instead, she’d believe she was incredibly skilled, capable of breaking through the Death Trap Formations.

Juliet found herself in Jared’s arms. Although she generally disliked being held by men, she surprisingly felt no aversion when Jared held her. On the contrary, deep down, she even wished he would hold her a little longer.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Juliet, go ahead and break the arcane array. Regardless of success or failure, I won’t run away. I want to stand by your side through thick and thin,” Jared said firmly.

This touched Juliet deeply. Aside from her father, no one in the entire Violet Flame Sect had ever treated her like this.

Juliet nodded, then took a deep breath, ready to break through the Death Trap Formations.

Jared leisurely observed from behind, especially amused at the sight of Juliet, who was trembling from nervousness.

“You brat. You’re picking up girls even while trying to learn a cultivation technique,” Vermilion Demon Lord said in jest.

“I didn’t. I was only trying to gain trust so I could learn the fire fusion technique,” Jared hurriedly denied it.

“Pfft. You had a biological response when you embraced her earlier, yet you still dare to say you didn’t?” Vermilion Demon Lord remarked disdainfully.

Jared was momentarily taken aback before letting out an awkward laugh.

After all, Juliet was indeed stunningly beautiful, not to mention her figure and complexion were top-notch.

When Jared saw Juliet’s smooth skin, he couldn’t help but think of Cecilia. We’ve been apart for several months now. I wonder how Cecilia and the others are faring?

As Jared was lost in his wild thoughts, Juliet’s sudden scream jolted him back to reality.

In a rush, Jared hurried over, anxiously grabbing Juliet’s hand as he asked, “Juliet, what’s wrong?”
