Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 371: Cassandra Arrived In Sharky’s Room

Those present all chatted in a friendly manner, and time passed just like that. Eventually, Cassandra invited them to stay for the evening.

The women had been starting to relax, they wanted to agree with it, but like a normal guest, the first time they politely declined.

Alina tactfully declined, saying, "There is no need. I still have some attendants outside. They will become worried if I do not contact them after a long time. Furthermore, we need to rush to the King Court tomorrow morning, so we will not be disturbing the country leader."

Cassandra replied with a smile, "Isn’t that easily solved? I can just send someone over to big sister’s subordinates. Some things have happened recently in Bluefield Country, so there is a night curfew in the city. If all of you go out now, you might not even be able to find a tavern to stay at, but the palace has more than enough rooms for accommodation. Staying here will surely be better than resting at a tavern outside."

Hearing this, they started thinking about it, when Sharky asked through Ki transmission, "Can you ask her about what happened in the country recently?"

The women nodded in satisfaction. They were extremely satisfied to see him keep to himself instead of flirting with other women. Thus, Charlotte voiced their misgivings.

Cassandra explained, "Recently, there has been a strange rumor saying that a great treasure will appear in Bluefield Mountain, so strong individuals from all manner of different clans have gathered. That is the reason why I have no choice but to stay in this palace for a few more days before leaving, you know?"

"A great treasure?" the women asked, with pensive expressions.

"These are just some random rumors. If there really were some great treasure, would our Greenfield Country not be aware of it? We would already have excavated it a long time ago!" Cassandra said. She looked at them and continued, "As far as I am concerned, my esteemed guests are instead the most important treasure."

Even though they all knew that she was praising them, they couldn’t help but feel happy.

Before they said anything, Cassandra continued, "I heard you mentioning Blue Earthflowers. There are not many left in the country, but the Imperial Palace still has some. I will have some people look into it, and I should be able to bring some over to you tomorrow morning. If you leave, with all of the things that are happening, I might not be able to find you and will instead embarrass myself."

The group exchanged a look. If they’re bringing out something like this to tempt us, it looks as if we have no choice but to stay here for the evening.

But when they were about to assign rooms, they encountered a problem. The palace was full of women, so it was fine for Alina and the other women to stay there for the night. But Sharky was a man, so it was a bit inappropriate.

However, the female attendants in the palace simply arranged for Sharky to stay in a side room. Many people worked in the palace during the day; those rooms had been prepared in case of any special situations that required them to work throughout the night. However, they were rarely used.

Alina and the other women obviously didn’t want to be separated from him. They thus asked to stay near him too.

The attendants, however, replied that arranging for them to stay in the side rooms would instead make Bluefield Country look as if they mistreated their distinguished guests. If news got out, all of Bluefield Country would be mocked.

Since the other side was escalating the matter to one of a country’s dignity, Alina naturally couldn’t say much else. However, the group still felt some misgivings. Fortunately, Cassandra was understanding and moved Sharky a bit closer. That was the result the group reluctantly accepted in the end.

When she found a moment of spare time, Alina told Sharky, "You have to be careful tonight."

Sharky replied with a laugh, "What does a grown man like me need to be careful of? Those of you who are injured are the ones who need to be careful."

Seeing as Sharky wasn’t taking the situation seriously, Charlotte couldn’t hold herself back and warned him, "Who says you don’t need to be careful just because you’re a man? Legend has it that fox-spirits are able to suck out men’s essence. You shouldn’t treat this situation too lightly."

The other women all shot her surprised looks. Diana remarked with a smile, "Wow, our stone cold woman actually knows how to worry about someone?"

Charlotte’s cheeks heated up a bit, but she reacted quickly. She said, "I don’t need to worry about others, but Sharky is my man, how could I not worry about him. I am not like your Devil Sect, only knowing how to kill and destroy?"

Diana was about to start another fight, but when she saw Cassandra walk over, she swallowed the things she had been about to say back down. Instead, she quickly said, "This is our Holy Sect’s whistling arrow. If anything happens, fire it. We should then do our best to gather together."

They were in someone else’s territory, so they had no choice but to remain vigilant. She gave each of the others an arrow, then taught them how to use it.

Cassandra then personally led Alina to the inner palace. Meanwhile, an attendant led Sharky to the side wing. Along the way, the fox girls they met were all extremely curious about Sharky. They asked him all kinds of questions. However, Sharky wasn’t in the mood to chat, so he just replied to them absentmindedly.

The fox girls lost interest when they heard his answers. When they finished the task of taking him where he needed to go, they said, "This is an important place in the Imperial Palace, so you are not allowed to leave and cause trouble. It will be problematic if you end up running into any respected individuals." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Sharky said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t be going anywhere." After all he was in another person’s territory, he will of course follow the rule.

Now, the only thing he planned to do was to get some good sleep and leave peacefully the next day.

"That is how men should be; you should just stay inside and not show yourself in public." The fox girls nodded in satisfaction before leaving.

Sharky chuckled and didn’t argue back. He gave the layout a look. It was quite a bit better than he had imagined. Even though it wasn’t all that spacious, it was excellently tidy. After washing up, he sat down on his bed and began to cultivate.

Even though those who didn’t know him well thought he was just a skirt-chaser, he actually spent most of his spare time cultivating. Otherwise, if he only relied on cheats, he would be nothing more than a flower in a greenhouse, someone who wouldn’t survive true trials and tribulations.

Time passed just like that. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Sharky called out, opening his eyes.

"Young master Sharky, it’s me," replied a gentle and beautiful voice.

Sharky was surprised, because he could sense the other person’s identity through his soul. It was Bluefield Country’s leader, Cassandra.

He was genuinely surprised, because the other party hadn’t given him a single look the entire time. Even when they had talked, it was curt and short. Her indifferent expression had made it seem as if she viewed him as empty air. And yet, this woman had actually come to visit him in the middle of the night.

Sharky replied, "It’s already late in the evening. Meeting with a woman in private at this time would damage my reputation and integrity. If there is something, please tell me during the day."

Cassandra’s smile immediately froze on her face. She was dumbfounded.

She had come in high spirits, wondering just how surprised and excited Sharky would be once he saw her. But now, she was being given the cold shoulder? Considering her appearance and status, when had she not been the center of attention, surrounded by onlookers? When had she ever been refused before?

However, her anger vanished in a flash. She quickly calmed herself down, then continued to say gently, "I heard big sister Alina say that you needed Blue Earthflowers. I just found some in reserve. Seeing as you probably need them, I decided to bring them to you first."

Sharky was stunned. He couldn’t avoid meeting her if it was related to the Blue Earthflowers. He walked over and opened the door. He saw that Cassandra was standing by the entrance, looking lovely.

She had already changed her outfit, now looking more casual and personable. Her outfit had a V-shaped neckline that exposed her delicate and fair collarbones, as well as her sparkling and exquisite shoulders.

Even though she was exposing quite a bit of skin, due to her bearing and the style of her clothing, she didn’t show a hint of seductiveness. Instead, her appearance only added a bit of liveliness and sharpness to her fresh and pure nature.

However, as long as a man gave her a single look, those beautiful collarbones and shoulders would continue to appear in their minds. Even though it was clearly just a little bit, their imagination would then go wild.

But for Sharky, these were nothing, because he has already seen many things.

Forget about child’s play like revealing a bit of one’s shoulders, he had even seen completely see-through clothing that only covered the three main areas. Even though those women were wearing clothes, it was almost as if they weren’t wearing anything at all. However, the most important part was that those clothes were designed carefully, making it so that one couldn’t see anything one wasn’t supposed to see.

Cassandra was already prepared to see an expression of shock. Sharky definitely wouldn’t be able to hold back and would continue to stare at her, or pretend to be honorable and not look, but still sneak looks from the corners of his eyes. She was already completely used to men’s tricks over the years.

And yet, who could have expected that after just one simple look, Sharky casually looked away? Cassandra could clearly tell that his reaction wasn’t fake at all. Was that all? It was almost as if he considered her some country bumpkin.

At that moment, she began to question life itself.

Could it be that the Medusa Empress is too pretty, so his way of looking at things also changed after being around her for a long time?

But she felt even more uncomfortable when she thought about that. Didn’t that mean she was far inferior to the other woman?

Suddenly, Sharky saw the bundle of Blue Earthflowers she was holding. He received them without a second thought and said, "Thank you, Bluefield Country Lord!" Afterward, he closed the door again.

Cassandra was stunned.

Just as Sharky began walking back to the bed, he suddenly heard a loud banging on the door. He asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"

Cassandra gritted her teeth when she heard the disinterest in Sharky’s voice. She replied "I’ve given you something so precious, but you aren’t expressing anything?"

"Didn’t I thank you already?" Sharky replied, feeling a bit annoyed. Why did this woman keep clinging to him?

Cassandra was speechless.

She took a deep breath. She finally managed to endure her urge to storm off and retorted, "Is it just a thank you? Isn’t the young master a bit too stingy? You should at least invite me in for a cup of tea, right?"
