A gust of wind blew across the land, blowing up the plants in the surroundings.
Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, for some reason, it gave off a strange feeling.
As expected, after a while, the sky started to change, and dark clouds covered the surroundings.
Dark clouds shrouded the surroundings, and there was a vague sense of gloom in the air.
"It's going to rain …"
Mallikdo walked on the road and looked at his surroundings. He could not help but raise his head as this thought flashed through his mind.
It seemed that the weather here had changed greatly.
It had been a bright and sunny day, but in the blink of an eye, it had become a gloomy and rainy day.
Unsurprisingly, after a while, it began to rain all around.
When the raindrops landed on the ground, they brought with them a cool breeze.
At this moment, Mallikdo and the others had arrived at a building, taking shelter from the rain.
Even though the Orlier family's manor was quite large, it was not very remote, and there were many bustling streets nearby.
Mallikdo brought his servants and found a place to take shelter from the rain.
Inside the attic, Mallikdo stood alone and looked at the heavy rain outside.
As he watched, the rain continued to fall in the distance, giving off loud pitter-patter sounds.
As for the servants around him, they had all gone to the side to rest.
Some of them had wanted to serve Mallikdo, but they had been refused.
Thus, at this moment, Mallikdo stood there alone.
Standing alone in this gloomy and rainy weather, his figure seemed a little lonely, giving off an indescribable feeling of loneliness.
However, to Mallikdo, who was about to explode, this feeling was quite suitable.
The curse in his body was becoming more and more active, and it could explode at any moment.
If there were many people standing by his side, he would not be used to it.
After all, if others saw his curse explode, it would cause a lot of trouble.
As such, after realizing that his curse was about to explode, Mallikdo started to like being alone more and more.
After getting used to it, he felt that this feeling was quite good.
Looking out the window, Mallikdo fell silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "What a wonderful world …"
What a wonderful world …
It's a pity that we'll have to meet again soon.
Even though he did not say this out loud, Mallikdo felt this way.
At this moment, he seemed to have made a decision.
Under the torture of the curse, some things that were important in the past were no longer important.
But even so, he could not hurt his own daughter and push her into the abyss of danger for his own safety.
If he didn't hand Gunali over, he would definitely die in his current situation.
However, after coming to this realization, Malik suddenly felt that this feeling was nothing.
It was just death.
Drip … Drip …
The sound of water dripping onto the ground drowned out all other sounds.
But amidst this strange sound, there seemed to be a series of strange footsteps ringing out at this moment.
Standing there and hearing this strange sound, Malik paused and felt incredibly shocked.
At this moment, he came to a sudden realization.
It was too quiet.
It had been a very, very long time since he had sent the servant to rest.
For such a long time, why did no one come looking for him?
This didn't make sense.
Moreover, there was something wrong with his condition.
After standing here for so long, why didn't he notice anything wrong?
Clearly, there was a problem.
"You've finally realized?"
A voice sounded out. It sounded like a man's voice, and it sounded quite playful.
Hearing the sound, Mallikdo suddenly shivered, then turned around and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
In that direction, there was a figure standing there.
It was a hazy figure, and he could not see it clearly. All he could see was that it was a tall and well-built man.
He was covered in fog, and no matter how hard Malik tried, he could not see his appearance.
That person stood there and looked at Malik with a playful expression, seeming to have been observing him for a long time.
"Who are you? What is your goal for spying on me? "
Malik subconsciously took a few steps back and placed his hand on the sword on his waist. He spoke with a dignified expression.
"I just found something interesting, so I came to take a look."
Chen Heng stood in front of Malick and looked at him as he said in a playful tone, "Don't be so nervous."
In a way, I'm here to help you. "
"Help me?"
Malik looked at Chen Heng and said with a serious tone and a cold expression, "Secretly spying on others — is this what you mean by help?"
"That's just necessary observation; it's not important to you."
Standing there, Chen Heng looked at Malik and smiled as he said, "What's important is whether or not you want to continue living."
"Continue living?"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Malik felt quite startled, but his expression did not change as he asked, "Just what are you trying to say?"
"I'm sure Mr. Malik knows what I'm talking about," Chen Heng said softly.
Chen Heng said softly and did not say anything else as he tossed over an item.
Malik instinctively caught it and looked at it warily.
On his palm, a crimson crystal lay there.
The crystal looked very small, but it had a unique luster, as if there was blood flowing within it. It was incredibly beautiful.
As Malik held this crystal, it quickly melted and fused into his body.
Immediately, Malik's expression fell.
"I was too careless!"
At that moment, he felt that something bad was about to happen.
He had never thought that this thing would be so terrifying. Just by touching it, it could ignore his Psychic Energy defenses and directly fuse into his body.
If this thing was a poison, he would most likely be dead by now.
However, what Malik did not expect was that after the crimson crystal fused into his body, nothing bad happened.
In fact, at this moment, there was an indescribable power rising within his body, strengthening his body.
Of course, the most important thing was the curse within his body.
When that force appeared, the power of the curse in his body began to curl up on its own, as if it was fighting against that external force.
After that energy was used up, the curse power within his body also weakened.
Sensing this situation, Mallikdo felt quite surprised and had not expected this to happen.
"How is it?"
Ahead, Chen Heng gave a slight smile as he said softly, "I have a way to deal with the problem you're facing.
In exchange, I hope that you can serve me for a period of time.
Would Mr. Malik be able to accept this? "
"Serve you?"
After completely digesting the power that had just entered his body, Mallikdo stabilized his mind. His expression was still as cold as before, as if he did not care at all. He just asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult."
Standing there, Chen Heng casually said, "It's just collecting some things for me and providing some materials.
"For you, these are all very simple things."
"Using these things in exchange for me helping you solve your problem, this should be a very good deal for you."
Chen Heng said as he looked at Mallikdo.
Chen Heng's true goal in finding Malik was to have him willingly become his experimental subject.
Chen Heng was quite interested in curses that could quickly increase one's strength.
Of course, apart from this, he could also help Malik collect some resources.
After all, right now, Chen Heng had nothing, and even his strength needed time to recover.
During this process, if he could obtain some resources, he would be able to greatly speed up his recovery.
As the Olier family's chief and a local expert, Malik could provide Chen Heng with all of this.
It just so happened that he had a problem that he urgently needed someone to deal with.
As such, Chen Heng had set his eyes on him, leading to this meeting.
"That's all?"
Listening to Chen Heng's words, Malik's expression was still cold, but he inwardly relaxed.
If that was all, it would not be a big deal.
At the very least, compared to that person's conditions, Chen Heng's conditions would not make him feel too troubled, nor would they be as terrifying.
As for resources, Malik did not care too much about them.
On this star, although the Orlier family was not the most powerful family, it was still extremely powerful and had a great reputation on the entire star.
To such a family, collecting some resources was not a big deal.
As long as they could save Malik, the Olier family's chief, some resources were not a big deal.
After all, no matter what, experts were always more important than resources.
Only with enough experts would they be able to obtain enough resources.
However, even though he felt a bit more relaxed, Malik was still wary.
This was normal.
After all, Chen Heng's background was unknown to him, and he did not know who he was.
Facing someone like this, if he did not keep his guard up, he would suffer greatly sooner or later.
Chen Heng expressed that he understood this.
"It seems that you still need some time to consider, Mr. Mallikdor."
Standing there and looking at Malik, Chen Heng smiled and did not mind Malik's hesitation. He said softly, "Since it's like that, I'll be leaving now.
In a few days, I'll wait for you at your family's residence.
I hope you can make a decision then. "
"Wait for me at my residence?"
Listening to Chen Heng's words, Malik's gaze became serious and he prepared to say something.
However, before he could say anything, Chen Heng's figure disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
After Chen Heng's figure disappeared, everything returned to normal, as if he had never been there.
Looking at Chen Heng's figure disappear, Malik's gaze became more and more serious, but he had some guesses.
"He didn't leave behind any traces, nor did he leave behind any corporeal traces …"
Standing there, Malik looked around and thought of a possibility, "To be able to do this, one must have awakened their source energy and turned it into a corporeal body …
"That person was at least at Stage 4 or above, and he most likely lost his body …"
Thinking to there, Malik continued to think, "That's right …"
"He lost his body, so he urgently needs to recover his strength. That's why he came to find me and asked me to help him recover his strength …"
Malik was an intelligent person.
Just then, Chen Heng had not tried to hide anything, so he had been able to find some traces and deduce some clues.
Of course, Chen Heng did not mind.
After Chen Heng left, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the rain that had been falling stopped.
The sun once again appeared, shining down on the ground and making it look incredibly bright.
Malik looked at this scene but did not feel like appreciating it.
Right now, he was still thinking about what Chen Heng had said, wanting to obtain more information from what he had said.
"Master …"
Outside the building, the old butler's figure appeared and walked up.
"What is it?"
The old butler's appearance stopped Malik's attention.
Standing there, he looked up and asked absentmindedly.
"The weather outside is getting better; should we continue?"
The old butler's expression was respectful as he said, "The chaos outside is becoming more and more serious; we need to quickly suppress it to ensure the safety of our base …"
"Chaos … safety …"
Malik instinctively wanted to say something, but he suddenly thought of Chen Heng's words and stopped himself.
"No …"
Following this, under the old butler's confused gaze, he changed the topic and said, "Send word that we won't be going to the base.
We'll immediately return to the manor. "
"Return to the manor?"
Hearing Malik's words, the old butler felt quite startled, "But … what about the base?"
"I'll send people to take care of things there. It's fine if we don't go there for a while."
Malik raised his head and said calmly, "Now, let's go back to the manor."
"Yes."
Seeing Malik insist, the old butler's expression became respectful as he walked down to pass on Malik's orders.
Following this, the group turned around and slowly walked back to where they had come from.
Standing within the building, looking at Malick leaving, Chen Heng smiled.
He knew in his heart that Mallikdo would not reject his proposal.
After all, he did not have much of a choice.
Compared to that person's conditions, Chen Heng's conditions were not too harsh for Malik.
At the very least, it was not to the extent that he could not accept it.
Comparatively speaking, accepting Chen Heng's proposal was the most beneficial for him.
Of course, if he did not want to accept Chen Heng's kindness, Chen Heng would be happy to help him accept this kindness.
After all, he was just a beast tamer who had not even reached Stage 4.
Even if Chen Heng had fallen to such a state, it would not be a big problem for him to take care of him.
When that time came, Chen Heng would not be as easy to talk to.
However, that was not very likely.
From what Chen Heng could see, Malik was a smart person and would not do anything stupid.
Standing there, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind as he looked into the distance and watched as Malick's figure slowly disappeared from his sight.
.....
Gunali was in a good mood today.
Early in the morning, she had just said goodbye to Malik.
Not too long after, Malik had returned.
Even though he didn't bring any gifts for Gunali this time, she was still very happy.
To this little girl, the happiest thing was that she hoped that her father could stay by her side.
Moreover, it seemed that Malik would be staying at home for a while, and no one knew when he would leave.
In response, the happiest person in the entire manor was naturally Gunali.
In Chen Heng's vision, Gunali was bouncing around, looking as if she was going to fly into the sky.
Within the quiet room, looking at how lively Gunali was, Chen Heng shook his head, feeling quite speechless.
Fortunately, because of his father's return, Gunali had been bothering him less during this period of time.
Chen Heng was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he could properly research and organize his gains.
During this period of time, through his observations, Chen Heng had some ideas about Gunali's Soul ability.
However, if he wanted to further confirm and research, just ordinary observations would not be enough.
It would be best if he could obtain Gunali's tissues or blood to research her bloodline.
To Chen Heng, the Olier family's bloodline was worth researching.
From how Chen Heng saw it, this family's bloodline was quite interesting and contained many things.
No matter if it was Gunali's Soul ability or Malik's curse, they all seemed to come from this family's bloodline.
Perhaps by researching this family's bloodline, he would be able to obtain some extraordinary gains.
In order to research this family's bloodline, he had to obtain some tissues and flesh.
As for Malik, Chen Heng planned to have him take them out himself after they reached an agreement.
As for Gunali, he would have to do it himself.
In order to not attract too much attention and to take care of the little girl's feelings, Chen Heng only took some materials from some unimportant places.
For example, hair, dander, and the like.
As for blood, he took some while Gunali was asleep.
He first hypnotized her and made her fall into a deep sleep before taking some flesh and using healing skills to heal her wounds.
Just like that, he obtained a piece of fresh flesh.
