Luck is a Charm

Chapter 68: Essence Flame Appears

Silence came back after 13 minutes of slaying multiple depraved beasts but he had another surprise.

"Zen, I have detected an abnormal aura 1000km away from our current location. It is something being birthed with heaven as the blessing."

"What the heck are you talking about? Heaven blessing a baby or some great treasure is now available."

Zen said in a bleak tone as the two women completely isolated him. There was zero chance for him to be in their conversation.

Silence was speechless by his attitude as he was expecting a begging Zen to enquire him for more details.

"The birth of an essence flame is happening and you don't seem interested. Forget about my comment and continue your behavior."

Hearing the word essence flame, Zen instantly showed a wide eye and stood up to look at Silence.

"An essence flame is being born and you're only telling me now. Let's hurry up our journey there. That essence flame is mine."

Zen hurriedly starts reorganizing his clothes while Freya was dressed in Cecilia's true qi clothes.

Not waiting any longer, Zen princess carried Freya while Cecilia went back to the mysterious space.

A slight blush appeared on Freya as this was her first time being carried by a man.

"Silence, which direction is it?"

"Around the North-East side."

'North-East side isn't that near a volcanic environment.' Zen realized that the essence flame is being born near an extreme fire environment.

"Haha, no wonder why essence flame is called natural flame. They are born from nature blessed by heaven and now it's time for the rightful owner to claim it."

Zen used flash point movement while carrying Freya in his arm while occasionally touching her breast.

"Um, y-you're touching my spot."

"I'm touching what spot Freya? I can't hear you if you don't speak louder." Zen replied while increasing his speed.

With the sudden increase in speed, Freya unconsciously holds Zen around the neck harder to not fall off.

Doing so, her breast collided with Zen's chest and she couldn't help but buried her head in embarrassment.

Zen smirked at this movement since he expected this to happen. 'This is what I call shooting two birds with one arrow.'

Not only can he get the essence flame faster than anyone because he has two top helpers in this world.

He could also bring home another lovely beauty. A beauty that is probably admired by all in the divine world.

Alas, those youths can give up since it is a fate that they are destined to be together in this tiny world.

Rushing toward the location, Zen spotted many other people going there.

"Silence, how come all these people are rushing to the same location. They aren't that strong so how did they detect this aura too."

"Haha, it's because there's a beam of light shooting in the cloud when an essence flame is about to be born. Silence was just tricking you when he said about detecting the aura. He probably saw this beam of light when you ordered him to slay some beasts."

Cecilia answered in the mysterious space and can't help but laugh at Zen for trusting so easily.

Zen turned to Silence who was still floating in the air next to him with a scowling expression.

"Some celestial sword you are. As punishment, it's time to test the theory of cultivators flying with a sword."

Zen said as he put his foot on the sword and started to use it as a traveling method.

"Freya, look at this beautiful sky with me riding a sword. Don't you think I'm like those powerful cultivators? Soaring through the air with ease."

Nodding her head slightly, Freya got off of Zen's carrying since she can now step in the sword too.

Silence cursed Cecilia in his mind for exposing his lie and now he's forced to become a transportation tool.

Zen was admiring how he could also become a protagonist from those novels he always read and slowly holds Freya by the waist.

Surprised by someone holding her waist, Freya turned around to look at Zen and wondered if he's always this lustful.

"Don't overthink stuff. I don't lust after any woman I see and Cecilia can prove my words. My action is simply because I fell for you at first sight."

Zen said with a serious expression on his face but inwardly, he just couldn't help but laugh at his wit to come up with anything in the spot.

'Fell in love at first sight. If that were true then I would have tried to take advantage when you were still naked in the chain.'

Zen simply knew that having Freya by his side could only mean benefits and no harm besides being accidentally poisoned by her.

Given the fact that Freya is always alone like him with different circumstances, he could easily find himself similar to her in multiple ways.

Also, she was a beauty but a bit naive due to her having little to zero contact with others in her world.

Her conversation with Cecilia said that she was always alone besides having her grandpa assist her.

Not thinking any further, Zen pulled Freya closer to him as they went closer to the essence flame location.

"Where is this place?"

Being helpless toward Zen, Freya gave up resisting much since he could have easily taken her purity if he truly wished for it. Therefore, she just asked him questions to have a conversation.

"Right now, we're going to a place called Fire Mountain based on the environment here. This place is near a volcano so the temperature is really high and not many people would come up unlike now."

"If the temperature is high, then why aren't we affected by the heat."

"That's because you're near me since I have a true qi barrier covering us to maintain our temperature. See how I'm this concerning. I think I deserved a kiss for being this caring"

Zen said cheekily and leaned his mouth closer to Freya. A slap to the face or getting pushed away is the outcome Zen expects to divert the topic.

For this many people trying to fight for the essence flame, there will be a ton of bloodshed and fighting.

Although Freya is from the divine world where the rules of survival are even more intense than the tiny world. She was basically a sheltered woman without seeing much of the vicious and atrocities from people.

However, to Zen's surprise, Freya gave him a light kiss on the lips.

"Although you're a scoundrel and even shameless in your conduct. I don't dislike you nor hate you."

Freya said before turning her head away from Zen's sight. 'What have I done? I-I gave away my first kiss to a man.'

Not expecting this outcome, Zen didn't know what to say about this awkward atmosphere until they finally arrived in a cave where many people were gathering.
