Soon, Austin found a beautiful, small mountain in the FlHoly Land and settled down there.
The Earth Hermit had also volunteered to stay at the former headquarters of the FlHoly Land, intending to help with the
reconstruction of the sect.
By his own account, in the beginning he had no intention of getting involved in these things. But the members of the major sects in
the East Mainland had always been meaning to rob him. Currently, they were trying to track him down. Sof them even
harbored the evil intent to kill him and seize the treasures of the Purple Immortal from him.
In his indignation, the Earth Hermit decided to side with the FlHoly Land. He decided to play his part in the fight against those
major sects of the East Mainland. Those sects had becthe symbol of oppression.
It was quite understandable that Austin, the three elders and even Elder Sharp welcomed their new ally with open arms. For them
it was the situation of the more, the merrier.
Compared to the other cultivators in the East Mainland, this old man could be regarded as a great master, who possessed a very
high-level cultivation base, and who had witnessed vicissitudes of disciples of various top sects.
Moreover, he seemed to be making steady progress recently in practicing the martial skills left by the Purple Immortal. Due to this,
his cultivation base was getting better and increasing to higher levels.
Surprisingly, his true strength was equivalent to that of the holy lords in the East Mainland.
Naturally, Austin and the rest felt it was a good thing that such a powerful cultivator was willing to take the side of the FlHoly
Land.
On the small mountain, there was a secret cultivation room which dated back to ancient times. Austin had already taken it up as
his exclusive secret room.
Being the Holy Heritor of the FlHoly Land, Austin had been granted sprivileges that ordinary disciples were ineligible to
enjoy.
On top of this, Austin now beca hard-core disciple, whom Elder Sharp and the other three elders valued the most.
In other words, Austin had beca senior member with high status in the FlHoly Land.
In the secret cultivation room, Austin sat pondering.
Austin sat there cross-legged, planning to start cultivating. Suddenly a message reached his Soul Sea telepathically. It was sent by
Brady.
"Caroline has made a breakthrough and reached the medium stage of Emperor Realm."
"Really? Is that so?"
Austin was overjoyed to hear that.

He concentrated his mind and teleported himself into the City model inside him. He ended up on the street where Caroline had
been cultivating.
"She has indeed made a breakthrough and reached the medium stage of Emperor Realm!"
Austin said excitedly after detecting the energy fluctuation that Caroline was giving off. It was really good news for him.
Having made the breakthrough only a little while ago, Caroline was still sitting cross-legged in meditation. She was consolidating
her newly-made progress.
A moment later, Caroline opened her eyes and stood up. She had detected the materialization and presence of Austin stime
ago.
Thinking back, it was not long ago that Caroline had finished her trial on the first floor of the Slave Tower. It had lasted for a certain
amount of time. She had been through numerous life-or-death fights with sand men there.
Added to this, there was her freshly achieved breakthrough in cultivation base. There was an air of valor and heroism about her, as
if she had regained part of her former bearing of a queen.
Stago, after confessing her love for Austin, her life seemed immersed in love. Caroline had turned completely into a
lovable little woman, who was infatuated with her lover.
Now, since her relationship with Austin had settled down, her queenly demeanor seemed to have found its way back to her. She
had found a new direction and aim to strive for.
"Oh! My queen is back,"
Austin, who had noticed this even now in her, said with a smile.
"Austin, you are such a glib talker!"
Caroline walked up to Austin in a natural manner. She shot him a dark glance and then softly leaned against him. She fell into his
arms like a forlorn lover who had been separated from her love for a long time.
As his hands moved across her body, he could feel her soft, smooth waist. Smelling the wafts of natural tantalizing fragrance
emanating from her body, Austin was involuntarily intoxicated to sextent.
A woman of incomparable beauty leaning against the sturdy body of a handsman, pleasant seductive fragrance pervading the
air were bound to have affect. The ardent affection between the two love birds was almost tangible. All of it was a sight of sheer
romance.
Gently, Austin's arms reached out. He put them around Caroline and drew her into a tight embrace.
Caught off guard, Caroline instinctively let out an exclamation of surprise. It took her just a second to realize what had just
happened. She felt that her whole body was pinned fast against Austin.
"What are you doing?" she uttered shyly.
Feeling embarrassed, a pink flush spread over Caroline's cheeks.
However, Austin's arms were so strong that she couldn't stop the feeling of security and comfort. His hug made her feel loved and
cared for, thus, she spontaneously relaxed her body and her mind. This made all her strength fade and left her powerless to
struggle.
"What do you want to do? Someone might see us!"
Caroline complained in a muted voice audible only to herself. Suddenly, Austin landed a kiss of fervent passion on her slim, tender
neck.
Instantly, Caroline felt as if her whole being was melting like the snow when the sun slowly rose in early spring time.
Her whole body shivered and her heart started beating faster. Her breath was becoming short and waves of alarmingly scorching
heat were billowing out of her.
"You...You... You are a jerk!"
Caroline's voice was so low that it was totally inaudible.
"Caroline, how about we..."
In that moment of passion, Austin was aroused. He lowered his voice and whispered something into Caroline's delicate ears.
"We... what? Austin, stop it. People will see us!"
Caroline involuntarily tensed her body though her heart was fluttering frantically in her chest. She kept breathing hard.
"Ha ha! Don't worry. Nobody will see us!"
Austin said with a wicked grin. Clearly Austin was sexually excited, and didn't want to stop.
During that time, Austin and Caroline were already going steady. Both of them had tacit knowledge and were mentally ready that
sometsoon they would share intimate moments with each other.
After all, this kind of thing was going to happen sooner or later. Quite naturally, their relationship was going to move on to the next
level, sooner or later.
Yet probably it was not the right tfor such a moment.
"Your Majesty!"
In a very abrupt manner, their moments of romance were disrupted. A senile voice cfrom the end of the street.
It was Priest Callum!

Like an alarmed rabbit, Caroline broke free from Austin's arms at lightning speed and tidied up her rumpled clothes.
Austin also felt very embarrassed.
On the other end of the street, Priest Callum of the evil shadow race was transfixed with astonishment. Seeing Austin and
Caroline's reaction, he felt sorry. He regretted what he ended up doing. He knew that he had unintentionally ruined a romantic
moment.
"Your Majesty, you just made a breakthrough, didn't you?"
Priest Callum steeled himself. He tried to behave as if he saw nothing and walked up to them. He spoke to Caroline.
"l did!"
Caroline said nodding as her head was down and a blush hued her cheeks.
At that moment, Austin found the old man in front of him so annoying that he had the urge to give him a couple of hard clouts on
the head.
"Fuck! Why is this goddamn old man so unobservant?
He ruined such a golden opportunity that | had.
| was so close to enjoy moments of passion."
At that moment, the FlEmperor's voice was heard in Austin's Soul Sea.
'Oh my goodness! How could | have forgotten that there's a lecher lurking in my Soul Sea?’
Austin almost jumped up with alarm on that thought.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything stupid. Otherwise, the FlEmperor would have seen everything distinctly.
And there were Violet and the gntoo. If they were in Austin, they would have also seen all that happened in that place.
'Shit! | guess that the next t| get into this kind of situation, I'll have to figure out a way first to isolate these three guys, ' Austin
thought.
"Ha ha! Master, | didn't see anything. There is no need for you to guard yourself againstin the future." There went Violet's
voice all of a sudden.
"Priest Callum, how is the cultivation of our people going on?"
Caroline asked. Finally she had returned to her normal self. No more was she in the flustered state she was in a few moments ago.
"Alas! Sold. Sold. They've made sprogress, but not much,"
Priest Callum answered, clearly not happy with the progress.
