Carmelita was gravely injured. Naturally, Han Shuo took care of her along the way. With the medicinal pellets he personally refined, Carmelita's wounds healed very quickly. Even the frigid air in her body was slowly diluted by the medicinal pellets.
When Carmelita saw that Han Shuo wasn't a healer but could refine something even more miraculous than a healer's medicines, she thought to herself that she had indeed picked up a treasure. As a gravely injured person, she could best appreciate the miraculousness of Han Shuo's medicinal pellets. She kept staring at Han Shuo all the way and asked him questions about them.
Medicinal pellets did not belong to the category of demonic arts. Therefore, Han Shuo wasn't afraid that powerful enemies of Gu Tian Xie the Exalted Demonlord would be able to track him down through this. Therefore, he made up a story to Carmelita, claiming that an old pharmacist on Profound Continent had imparted it to him. Carmelita even believed him. So it turned out that even low-level material planes had wondrous people.
As the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range was too far from the City of Shadows, Han Shuo had to fly with Carmelita for half a month. During this time, Carmelita and Han Shuo got along very well. Han Shuo would tell her about the interesting things that happened on Profound Continent. Now and then, he would add in some of his experiences on Earth. Carmelita clicked her tongue in wonder as she listened. Her terrible mood from the deaths of her subordinates gradually improved.
During their conversation, Han Shuo learned that Carmelita had few friends due to her ugly appearance and bad temper. She would occasionally have one or two friends who were female. Donna was one of them. She had almost no male friends. They would either stay far away from her when they saw her or treat her like a master. This made her feel very bored.
She knew that she was ugly and therefore spent all her time and energy on cultivation. Due to her appearance, she was easily angered and easily went berserk. Her personality became more and more eccentric. In addition to her strength and status, not many people dared to provoke her. Slowly, she became an anomaly in the City of Shadows – an evil woman that no one dared to provoke.
But during this period of time, Han Shuo had interacted with her after she'd been injured, and discovered that she actually had a good nature. It was only because everyone treated her differently that she became so strange.
Before they returned to the City of Shadows, the two had become best friends in the short dozen or so days they spent together. Han Shuo treated her injuries and from time to time, he would take the opportunity to ask her questions about the energy of destruction. Carmelita did not know that Han Shuo cultivated in the energy of destruction. Although she found it strange that Han Shuo would ask her about it, she explained her cultivation experience to Han Shuo in detail.
It was true that Carmelita was extremely ugly, but everyone in the City of Shadows knew that she was a genius in the energy of destruction. This was something that Han Shuo soon had a deep understanding of. In just a dozen or so days, Han Shuo had gained a deeper understanding of the energy of destruction from this highgod of destruction. Many things that were previously fuzzy suddenly became much clearer.
One day, while discussing with Carmelita, Han Shuo's avatar that had been stuck in the realm of mid-stage lowgod was suddenly enlightened. He entered a silent state of breakthrough inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
The two felt that time passed very quickly. On the seventeenth day, Han Shuo and Carmelita arrived at the City of Shadows.
With Carmelita, the wicked woman of the City of Shadows, by his side, Han Shuo did not encounter any obstructions along the way. They arrived at the Sainte Residence at the center of the City.
The Sainte Residence was located at the center of the City of Shadows and was also the City Lord's mansion. As the oldest family clan in the City, the House of Sainte was even more powerful than the House of Lavers. When the divine guards of the House of Sainte saw Han Shuo supporting Carmelita, they immediately caused a huge commotion in the Sainte Residence.
In an instant, the entire Sainte Residence seemed to be bustling with activity. The family divine guards and elders of the Sainte Residence hastily surrounded Carmelita and started asking her about her condition.
Although Carmelita was a little ugly in the House of Sainte, she had a very high status in the family due to her superb strength. Moreover, she was the daughter of the city lord. Therefore, she was highly regarded by the family. Now that she was seriously injured, the entire House of Sainte became busy. They quarreled for her sake.
It was only when the patriarch of the House of Sainte, the current City Lord of the City of Shadows, Wallace Sainte hurried over that everything calmed down.
Wallace Sainte was Carmelita's father. As a late-stage highgod cultivating in the energy of darkness, Wallace gave off a majestic aura. He had a head of long, jet-black hair and a pair of dark gray eyes that glistened with divine light. He was more than two meters tall and had a sturdy body. When he stood there, he looked like an overbearing mountain.
"What's going on?" Wallace asked in a deep voice as he supported Carmelita with his large hands.
"There is a piece of Heaven's Gift in the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. This is something our intelligence agency did not know. When I brought my men there, I discovered two highgods …" Carmelita anxiously recounted the entire incident to Wallace when she saw her father coming over.
After Carmelita finished, Wallace put on a grave face and said, "Stay at home and recuperate. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will send my men to take care of it!"
"No, I want to go. I want to see those people die in front of us!" Carmelita said in a stern voice. It was obvious that she blamed herself for the deaths of those people.
"I told you to stay at home and recuperate. If your injuries aren't healed, you can't go anywhere!" Wallace straightforwardly refused. He turned to a gentle-looking middle-aged man and instructed, "Second Brother, keep a close eye on her!"
"Understood, Elder Brother," Wallace's younger brother Andre nodded. He smilingly said, "Don't worry, I will make sure she recovers at the fastest speed possible. Elder Brother, just go and do what you need to do."
"Alright." Wallace was immediately relieved after hearing his younger brother's words. Just as he was about to leave to take care of this matter, he suddenly saw Han Shuo standing to the side and looking around in boredom. Wallace stared blankly for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he put on a pleasant face and said, "You are Brian, right?"
"Yes, I'm Brian." Han Shuo was rather flattered that Wallace, the most powerful person in the City of Shadows, had suddenly spoken to her. However, she did not show any signs of panic. She nodded very calmly, neither servile nor overbearing.
Han Shuo's calmness naturally surprised Wallace. He nodded in his mind and smilingly said, "Thank you for saving Han Shuo. Keep this badge well. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can bring this badge to our House of Sainte for help."
"Oh, thank you." Han Shuo did not stand on ceremony. He casually thanked Wallace and accepted the badge. The badge was pitch-black and had the emblem of the House of Sainte engraved on it. It was extremely heavy. Han Shuo did not know what material it was made of but it looked very exquisite.
"Alright, I have some matters to attend to. My daughter doesn't have many friends. If you have time in the future, feel free to visit the Sainte Residence. I believe she will welcome you very much." Wallace put on a friendly smile and quickly left with a group of gloomy divine guards. He immediately disappeared from Han Shuo's sight.
As the most powerful man in the City of Shadows, Wallace was known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness. He would not stop until his enemies were completely annihilated. The number of family clans he had annihilated numbered in the hundreds, if not hundreds. To be able to stand out in the House of Sainte, it could be said that he had stepped on corpses along the way. He was by no means a benevolent person.
However, Wallace was never stingy with his generosity towards his friends. As long as they were allies that had no conflict of interest with him, he would be very friendly. This was also the reason why the City of Shadows had always been safe and sound despite being in charge of it for so many years.
After Wallace disappeared from Han Shuo's sight, Andre kept persuading Carmelita smilingly. Carmelita knew that although her father usually doted on her, once he had made a decision, no one could change his mind. After her father, Wallace, left, she had no choice but to accept her fate. It was at this moment that Andre started arranging for some healers to help her.
"There's no need to hire any healers. Brian has already stabilized my injuries. I just need to use divine essences to recuperate for a period of time. I will be as good as new within a year!" Carmelita complained impatiently, hinting to Andre not to waste any more time.
Han Shuo couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Carmelita talking about using divine essences to recuperate for a period of time. He thought to himself, As expected of a large family clan. Even something as precious as divine essences can be used to recuperate.
What Han Shuo did not know was that Carmelita was a special character in the House of Sainte. As a genius who could cultivate to highgod realm in such a short period of time, no matter how much she resembled a demon, she would receive the grandest treatment. If it were any other descendant of the family clan, they wouldn't be treated as well as Carmelita. Let alone recuperating with divine essences, they probably wouldn't even have the opportunity to increase their divine energy. This was the difference in reality.
Andre obviously didn't trust Han Shuo too much. After hearing Carmelita's words, he kindly advised, "It's better to get a healer to take a look. After all, that friend of yours isn't a professional healer. There are some things he can't do at the same time."
"Second Uncle, you are so annoying. I came back with Brian. I know him better than you do." Carmelita impatiently showed the wound on her abdomen to Andre and said, "Look, with Brian's medicine, my wound has completely healed in a dozen or so days! Do you think an ordinary healer can do this? "
The more powerful a god was, the longer it would take for their wounds to heal and the longer it would take for them to recuperate. Carmelita was a highgod. Even with the help of a healer, she would need at least a month to recover from a wound that penetrated her divine body. However, Han Shuo's medicine had cut the time by half.
"Huh?!" Andre wasn't an ignorant person. He immediately cried out in surprise when he saw the wound on Carmelita's abdomen. He looked at Han Shuo with some disbelief and asked, "Erm, Brian, you are Brian, right? You were the one who bandaged Carmelita's wound? "
"Cut the crap, Second Uncle. Hurry up and get me some divine essences. I need to recuperate from my internal injuries as soon as possible!" Carmelita impatiently urged when she saw Andre's doubtful expression. Andre gave Han Shuo a few strange glances but didn't interrogate Han Shuo in detail. He nodded and left.
Han Shuo noticed that when Carmelita asked Andre to get divine essences for her, the surrounding descendants of the House of Sainte revealed looks of envy. It seemed that as they weren't geniuses, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the same treatment as Carmelita.
"Brian, why don't you stay in our house for a while? I will properly thank you after I have recovered from my injuries," Carmelita invited.
"Forget it, I'm not used to living in your family home. But I will stay in the City of Shadows for a while. When you have recovered from your injuries, I will come and visit you," Han Shuo said. There would always be all kinds of troubles in these ancient and large family clans. What Han Shuo feared the most at present was trouble and therefore, he didn't want to provoke them.
"Brat, don't wait until I have fully recovered. Come and visit me every month or two. Even if it's just to chat with me, that's fine. I don't have any friends in the City of Shadows that I can get along with. Even if I have a few friends, they seem to have ulterior motives when interacting with me. You are the only one I like the most. Remember, if you don't visit me often, as long as you are in the City of Shadows, I will be able to find you! " Carmelita did not stop Han Shuo when she saw that he had made up his mind. She merely glared at Han Shuo threateningly with her triangular eyes.
Han Shuo forced a smile and nodded in agreement. He waited until Carmelita started giggling in satisfaction before walking out of the Sainte Residence.
Although Carmelita was ugly, after interacting with her, Han Shuo discovered that she did not have any ulterior motives. She treated him like a friend without any ulterior motives. This made Han Shuo feel very comfortable.
Donna and Han Shuo could be considered friends and their relationship could be said to be very harmonious. However, Han Shuo knew that Donna was trying to rope him into the Lavers Family. She was so cordial and friendly in trying to rope him in mostly because of her own worth, unlike Carmelita who had no ulterior motives.
Han Shuo sighed in his heart when he thought of this. No wonder Carmelita said that even though she had a few friends, she didn't interact with her without any ulterior motives. Who is she? She's a genius of the House of Sainte, the most favored daughter of City Lord Wallace of the City of Shadows. It's impossible that her friends wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
For example, Donna …
As Han Shuo's imagination ran wild, no one from the House of Sainte stopped Han Shuo from leaving. When he returned to the wide streets of the City of Shadows and was thinking about what he should do next, he suddenly received a message from Little Skull.
Han Shuo, who had not received a message from Little Skull for a long time, felt very warm in his heart. He rented a common gymnasium and summoned the Little Skull. He wanted to ask why Little Skull sent him a message.
"Father, we have completely conquered the Netherworld. The aura of death on this continent is even denser. After some discussion, we feel that it's time to develop on this continent!" Little Skull stood in front of Han Shuo and spoke in a childish voice, giving Han Shuo yet another fright.
