Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 322: Charlotte Argument

A snow-white burst erupted into the air, revealing a graceful and wonderful figure that was like the finest white jade, its surface flowing with sparkling radiance. It carried a clean and cold aura, a certain unique charm manifesting in its pure holiness.

Sharky and Alina were speechless. Never could they have expected things to develop in such a direction.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, but eventually snapped out of it. Just then, Alina’s Medusa’s Eye had petrified her. Such skills were difficult to defend against, as their power wasn’t something that could be measured strictly through cultivation.

Fortunately, she was already at the grandmaster rank. Grandmasters all had unique domains. In a moment of imminent peril, she had used her own domain of absolute cold, redefining the principles of the surroundings to benefit her. Only then had she managed to fend off Medusa’s Eye skill, which seemed to be a kind of reason-defying ability.

But the power created from the clash of two different laws was just too great. Furthermore, petrification usually made things brittle and prone to cracking easily. Charlotte could protect her own body, but she had forgotten about her clothes. That was why after experiencing all of that, her clothes shattered from even the smallest movement.

Even though she had already cultivated for so many years and reached a level of mental control sufficient to let go of most emotions, at that moment, she still couldn’t help but scream. Soon afterward, a snowstorm appeared around her, covering her exposed body.

Sharky felt a huge headache, but he still subconsciously said, "I have some clothes on me. They’re Isabelle’s. Do you want them?"

It would have been one thing if he hadn’t said anything, but since he had, Charlotte immediately realized that her disciple’s man had actually seen everything! What the hell is this?!

"Get lost!" she cried. A wave of air swept outward, sending Sharky flying.

Sharky fell right by Alina’s side. He supported her back up, crying, "Run!" Remaining where they were was definitely not a smart decision.

"Are you alright?" Alina asked, examining his body worriedly.

"I’m fine," Sharky replied. He picked up Alina and rushed into a cave off to the side. Charlotte had acted impulsively just then, while his body was extremely tough. Thus, even though his internal energies had been stirred a bit, he had quickly recovered.

Soon after they left, the wind and snow that had surrounded Charlotte gradually disappeared. She walked out, dressed once more. For someone of her status, it was only natural for her to have a storage pouch on her. Changing into a new set of clothes wasn’t particularly difficult.

When she thought about how close Sharky had been, as well as about how he had seen everything, her expression changed several times. Killing intent erupted in her gaze.

Previously, even though she had spoken aggressively, she had only intended to teach him a bit of a lesson. She hadn’t really planned to kill him. After all, he was her disciple’s husband. She hadn’t wanted her relationship with her disciple to fall apart over such a thing.

But now, things are different. If she didn’t kill this man who had seen her body, the indifferent and emotionless state she had maintained for many years would become flawed. At that point, falling from her current cultivation would be the least of her worries. If it got out of hand, she might become seriously wounded. Whether it was for personal reasons or the White Jade Sect’s interests, she couldn’t permit something like that to happen.

She looked in the direction the two of them had disappeared toward, and vanished.

---

Meanwhile, Alina said worriedly, "Sharky, you should run on your own; do not worry about me anymore. Otherwise, both of us will die here!" As a woman, she knew that there was no way Charlotte would let Sharky go after what had just happened.

She had just used Medusa’s Eye against a grandmaster at full power. The rebound her body had suffered was powerful. She was already wounded quite badly. As such, she had already resolved to buy some time for Sharky.

"Are you really an idiot," Sharky shouted at her.

"What happened?" She asked, nodding at his angry tone.

"All time, you are shouting, Sharky you should run away, Sharky you should run away. Okay, tell me where I should run away," He shouted at her.

"Tell me, should I go to the Emperor? So he should kill me. Or should I go to Cloudcenter Territory? Where should I go? And what should I do without you? While others will remember me, that there was a Duke, who abandoned his wife."

Hearing this, Alina became silent, she didn’t have any words to reply to him. Although she wants, he should escape. But where should he escape, in the Emperor territory, he will be punished by the emperor, maybe he will be directly executed.

And in the fiend territory, there was no one to look for her.

After thinking about this, she held his hand and said, "I am sorry, from next time, I will never mention this."

"Good," Sharky nodded and patted her head. "Also, don’t worry, we can use the black fog to cut off her perception. The cave’s paths are confusing, so she might not be able to find us."

Afterward, he took her straight into the black fog. Their elemental barriers immediately began to sizzle noisily, corroded by the fog. Fortunately, their cultivation was rather profound; furthermore, the black fog wasn’t everywhere, but rather gathered in clouds. That was why they were able to hold on.

After they ran for a long time, things finally calmed down. They couldn’t feel Charlotte’s icy cold aura anymore.

"We should be alright for now," Sharky looked behind him and said with a sigh of relief.

I really am unlucky... Who could have expected that Charlotte would suddenly become buck naked?

No wonder the big sis sect master calls her a stone cold woman. Her entire body is like a chunk of ice.

With how close they had been, he had even sensed cold seeping out from her skin.

Since they were no longer in danger, she also felt a bit naughty, asking, "So? Is Sect Master Charlotte... pretty?"

Sharky was speechless. Are girls all this gossipy? He replied, "Didn’t you see her yourself too? Why are you asking me?"

Alina smiled and replied, "Most of her body was covered by you, so I did not see much. Come on, tell me."

Sharky thought back to that splendid scene. He subconsciously said, "Her figure is pretty decent..."

But before he could complete his words, he felt that someone was hearing them.

He quickly changed his answer. "Uhh, actually, I didn’t see either... Huh, Sect Master Charlotte, why are you here?"

Alina was also shocked. She quickly turned around and saw Charlotte with a sword in hand, standing there with a completely cold expression.

Charlotte had already changed into white clothes. She was no longer wearing a dress like before, but instead had a daoist robe on.

Perhaps she had subconsciously chosen to dress a bit more conservatively, but the more that was the case, when he thought back to the scene he had seen before, Sharky couldn’t help but think ’innocent and sexy’.

Damn it, why the hell am I thinking about this old nun that way?

"Did you two really think you could shake me off by relying on that strange black fog?" Charlotte put away her divination circle and remarked coldly.

"Not even that black fog is an issue for the sect master? Your cultivation really is deep and profound," Sharky said while thinking about the thing she had just put away. Does this woman know fortune-telling?

This was a world of cultivation, so he obviously wasn’t thinking of the scamming technique. There were many powerful individuals who really could probe the mysteries of the heavens.

Sigh, that makes things really annoying. We can’t get rid of her even if we want to!

"If it were not, I would not have been able to hear you two talk behind my back," Charlotte replied with a terrible expression.

Alina was alarmed, feeling deep regret. Her gossipy heart really had ended up harming Sharky now.

"But I didn’t say anything bad about you!" Sharky exclaimed, seeing Charlotte’s expression. He continued, "Ah, is the sect master talking about what just happened? I saw a flash of sacred light before me. Maybe it was because of Medusa’s Eye or your own domain, but my eyes were hurt and I couldn’t see anything for a while. Right, what just happened? I’m still confused about that."

"Are you taking me for a fool?" Charlotte shot back. She was starting to really respect this kid. Even now, he has still managed to create a ’logical’ pretext. If it were any other matter, she might even just let it go.

But there was no way she could forget about what had happened.

Sharky knew that well too. Playing the fool hadn’t worked, so he could only say with a sigh, "It’s not as if I wanted to disrespect you. It was you who ran up to me, and then made your clothes explode. I’m completely innocent here! If you feel that you’re losing out here, why don’t I just take off my clothes for you too? We’ll call it even?"

As he spoke, he used his ki and began to make his own clothes explode too.

Charlotte was stunned. She was about to faint from anger. Even something like this can make things even?

The worst part was that this guy really had intended to do it! He had turned around after speaking, and all of his clothes had exploded!

A blush spread across her face, and she quickly turned around. She yelled, "Damn brat, what are you doing?!"

Charlotte had experienced her fair share of things over the years. She obviously wasn’t a little girl anymore. If Sharky had only exposed his upper body, she wouldn’t even have batted an eyelid. But she recalled how previously, her dress had even...

If he wanted to ’make things even’, his pants had to explode too... Right?

Even though she had already let go of most of her emotions, she was still a woman, after all. The situation was way too embarrassing for her.

Then, she heard a loud noise. She quickly turned around and saw that Sharky had taken Alina through a cave in the corner. Even though his upper body was bare, his pants were still on. He had clearly never intended to take them off for her to begin with.

Hmph! He clearly did that to confuse me!

"You little bastard!" Charlotte cursed, gritting her teeth. She immediately chased after them.

Just after turning the corner, she suddenly grew vigilant and quickly came to a stop. A strange red light appeared in front of her eyes: Medusa’s Eye.

Charlotte sneered. "Nothing more than a last-ditch effort!"

Alina had already used up all of her strength. The attack’s power this time would definitely be greatly reduced. Charlotte didn’t even need to use her domain to counteract it, intercepting it with just her usual skills. Her body’s flexibility seemed to decrease a bit, though.

Even so, she didn’t lower her guard at all, because her keen grandmaster senses told her that Sharky was rushing at her from the shadows with a sword. Even though she really wanted to rip him apart because of what had just happened, as a grandmaster, she couldn’t help but praise him a bit for his sensible choice.

If the two of them had run, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to outrun her. Rather than being chased until they were completely exhausted, it would be better to retaliate while they were still in better condition.
