Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 323: Charlotte Agreed

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.

Such a sudden ambush would catch many powerful individuals off guard. Unfortunately, Sharky had still underestimated a grandmaster’s abilities. The difference between a grandmaster and weaker cultivators was like heaven and earth.

Sharky’s movements were extremely fast, and he had arrived in almost an instant; but in Charlotte’s eyes, he still appeared to be moving in slow motion. She raised her sword. Her movements looked slow, and yet her attack arrived first, striking at his vitals.

Such swordplay that was close to the dao wasn’t something anyone under the grandmaster rank could understand. They could only see the result. Even at the moment of their death, they wouldn’t understand why even though the sword looked slow, and still seemed far away, it had still hit them.

Right at that moment, Charlotte heard a shrill bird cry. She vaguely saw a strange bird rushing at her. Then, she felt as if her soul had been pricked.

Unfortunately, her expression didn’t change at all. She coldly asked, "Is this your trump card?"

How powerful was the soul of a grandmaster, let alone one like her who had already been a grandmaster for so long?

Sharky looked shocked as her longsword stabbed into his chest and blood gushed out.

Just then, Charlotte felt a hint of hesitation. Am I going too far here?

Isabelle seems to have feelings for him. If I, as her master, kill her lover, our relationship might become poor. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Furthermore, strictly speaking, what happened was not Sharky’s fault...

Thinking that, she tried to retract back her sword, but then Sharky instead grabbed her sword, then pushed forward.

This guy’s body is pretty hard...?

Still, her longsword was the White Jade Sect’s supreme treasure. It had accompanied her for so many years as well, harmonizing with her aura. It could even easily cut through a giant dragon’s body. As such, it pierced through Sharky easily.

"What are you doing? I didn’t want to kill you," She shouted back, and tried to take out the sword.

Seeing the blood falling down, she felt a little pain inside of her.

Seeing that, his brows didn’t even furrow. He has traits of a real man, Charlotte thought. She was used to seeing his mischievous side, but when she saw his courageous side, she felt it was somewhat praiseworthy.

But, she really didn’t want to kill him.

"Is that important, you want to kill me or not, since you have already decided to take my wife. Then tell me what other options I have, as since you have heard, I have not any other option."

Alina saw that Sharky was seriously injured. She rushed over to support him, taking out all sorts of precious medicines and crying, "Hurry and eat this!"

Sharky shook his head. He gently pushed her away, saying, "I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to make use of these."

"No, there is one more option you have, take me as your master. Make a vow to abandon all emotions and focus on cultivation, and that you will no longer disturb Isabelle. I can then spare your life." She had decided to be lenient, she really didn’t want to kill him.

"It was better that you should kill me, I can never abandon my emotions," Sharky replied back.

"You will not understand, what is right or wrong," Charlotte’s expression turned cold. She lashed out with her palm as she finished speaking. She really wants to teach him.

But then she noticed, Sharky didn’t even try to dodge it.

Seeing that, she stopped her attack, but still her attack hit him before it was completely stopped. And he fell down, and another gush of blood appeared from his mouth.

"Why didn’t you dodge it?" She asked him, she knew, if he wanted to dodge it, he was able to dodge it, but still he took it.

Alina also cried out, she quickly went towards Sharky and took in his arms."Sharky, are you fine."

Sharky nodded, then looking at Charlotte he said, "If you still want to take back Alina, you need to first kill me. And I promise, till even a little bit of my blood is alive, I will stand up for my wife."

Alina also became angry with Charlotte, "Sect Master Charlotte, you are a senior. It would be one thing if you acted against a junior once or twice, but how many times have you attacked already? Furthermore, Sharky is even seriously injured, and yet you are taking advantage of his difficulties. Is this how your orthodox sects do things?"

After using Medusa’s Eye twice, she had already reached her limit. She could only use her brush to continuously draw diagrams in the air, providing Sharky with a supportive halo. But she knew that against a grandmaster, it wouldn’t be enough at all.

She was already indignant about the fact that Charlotte’s sword had pierced Sharky’s body. It would be dangerous even if an ordinary person stabbed one in the chest, let alone if it were a grandmaster’s sword strike.

Charlotte was silent, she didn’t know how to reply to him.

Although she wanted to stop him, she didn’t want to kill him.

"Why are you so stubborn?" She said, as she noticed the wound in his chest.

That was the wound she had inflicted earlier!

For some reason, she suddenly felt distress and remorse. She felt as if hurting him would be harder to bear than if she were injured herself.

All kinds of memories about him appeared in her mind. Before, she had only seen his flaws: How he was affecting the cultivation prospects of her disciple, and how he was slick-tongued and perverted. He colluded with the fiend races...

But now, she suddenly realized that Isabelle had never seemed to be willing to cut things off with him. He was incredibly talented, and they might even be able to help each other by cultivating together. It might not be a bad thing for her cultivation.

Even though he seemed like a smooth talker, he was actually firm and unwavering. Even while facing death, he wasn’t willing to bow down. As for his perverted side, which sane man wouldn’t like an incredible beauty like Alina?

Furthermore, Alina was an experienced woman herself. There were so many outstanding men constantly flocking around her, and yet Charlotte had never heard of her caring much about any of them. Now, she was actually willing to give up her life for Sharky. That meant the two of them really had an affinity for each other, and it wasn’t just something superficial like infatuation.

As for colluding with the fiend races, since Alina is his wife, shielding her was completely understandable. If he ran as soon as he encountered danger, wouldn’t that make him utterly shameless?

If one’s opinion of someone changed, one could look at the same matter from a completely different perspective.

After thinking to herself for a moment, Charlotte didn’t know what to do.

She then fished out a bottle of medicine and said, "These are the White Jade Sect’s Ice Heart Pills. Take one orally, and crush one to apply over your wounds. They should help with your injuries."

Alina had been extremely nervous the entire time. When she saw that, her eyes almost popped out. Did I hear wrongly? What do you mean, it should help?

In the past, many powerful cultivators had tried to show off in front of her. One of them had mentioned the White Jade Sect’s Ice Heart Pill. It was rumored to even be able to revive the dead, and to be among the very best sacred medicines in this world. Since the materials needed to create it were priceless, every single pill was invaluable. The expert had been a bit sad that he hadn’t had the fortune of obtaining one. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to a second life.

And yet, Charlotte hadn’t even hesitated to give Sharky a medicine so precious? Additionally, she had even given him another one to apply externally? If that expert were to hear of such a thing, he might just begin cursing, right? He might even just vomit blood on the spot.

Mere seconds prior, Charlotte had still been after Sharky’s life, so why was she suddenly treating his injuries now?

"Why? You didn’t want to take the Alina now?" Sharky asked her, although he was injured, but he didn’t want to back down.

Charlotte looked at him, and said, "I already said, I didn’t want to kill you. Please take the medicine, and heal yourself."

Alina also saw that Charlotte had deliberately looked away, but kept sneaking looks at Sharky from time to time. Her gaze was nothing like before, when it had been completely ice-cold, but rather... carried tender feelings?

She jumped in fright as soon as that thought appeared. How could that be possible?! She immediately dismissed that guess. Rather, perhaps Charlotte felt misgivings about Sharky’s relationship with her disciple, or maybe she felt pity for a talented genius...

While Alina’s thoughts were running wild, Sharky swallowed with difficulty. But still, in the end, he didn’t want to take the medicine.

"There’s no need, my body’s recovery ability..." he began, about to refuse. However, he suddenly saw her brows raise sharply, as if Charlotte might become upset. He was startled and immediately changed his tone, saying, "Thank you, sect master."

He took the bottle, touching her hand in the process. It really was cold like ice, but also smooth like fine jade.

Charlotte pulled her hand back, as if an electric current had just run through her body. A light blush appeared around her neck. She was a bit taken aback. She had never felt such a thing before in all her years of cultivation. Why is my heart beating so hard?

When Sharky ingested the Ice Heart Pill, all of the ki and blood within his body came alive. All of the internal injuries he had obtained from that intense battle recovered at a visible rate. He was greatly shocked. This medicine’s effects were almost at the level of Faith in Brother Spring! Even though the pill was a bit slower, as his cultivation rose, it had become hard for those red bottles to completely heal him anyway. They would only heal him around halfway.

But the Ice Heart Pill didn’t have such limitations. It was full of medicinal power, making him feel as if it could even heal a grandmaster if they were wounded.

Sharky took the chance to say, "I’ll repay the sect master for this medicine in the future. I have something to tend to for now, so I’ll be saying my goodbyes first." He has already wasted so much time, he didn’t want to waste more. He picked up Alina and left her.

A bit of displeasure appeared in Charlotte’s eyes when she saw the two of them together. She felt an urge to break the two of them apart. She was horrified as soon as that thought emerged, however. She stood in place for a long time, looking confused. She muttered to herself, "What is wrong with me?"
