Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 65 - 63: A Call from the Archfiend?

"Yes, Mrs. Sheffield."

At her word.

The Demon Cultivators immediately activated the array, unleashing a frenzied slaughter on the person trapped inside. Morgan Quinn’s two lackeys had long since been turned to dust, with not even ashes remaining. Only he, thanks to his high cultivation, was still holding on.

From the inside, it was impossible to see anything of the outside world. From the outside, however, Celeste Grant and the others could see everything within the array clearly.

At that moment, Morgan Quinn was spitting up blood. One of his eyes was blinded, his face a mask of gore. He was using a life-saving Magic Artifact to withstand the power of the Blast Flame Talismans.

"BOOM..."

Thick smoke billowed within the array’s barrier. Morgan Quinn was sent flying by the explosion, crashing heavily to the ground.

CRACK.

"Ahhh..."

A bloodcurdling scream rang out.

Along with the sound of breaking bones.

He lay sprawled on the ground, barely breathing, yet still uttering threats.

"You think you can kill me like this?"

"Impossible! When I return, I’ll make you all pay with your lives!"

As he spoke, his hands formed seals. He activated a Forbidden Technique, and his Primordial Spirit immediately left his body, abandoning the physical form. Then, his aura vanished completely.

"You’re kidding... Where’d he go?"

Celeste Grant clenched her fists.

Her gaze was cold as she stared at Morgan Quinn’s body, which had been blasted beyond recognition.

’He actually knows a Forbidden Technique like this.’

She scanned her surroundings.

There wasn’t a trace of his aura left.

’This is infuriating.’

’I really thought...’

’I really thought this time would be foolproof, that I’d finally get rid of Jocelyn Grant’s lover. I can’t believe he just abandoned his body and ran. He’s like a cockroach that just won’t die.’

’So hard to kill.’

’Is this his protagonist halo?’

’Unbelievable.’

"Hah!"

’It’s fine, it’s fine.’

’I’ll get another chance.’

Since he abandoned his physical body, all his cultivation is gone. After this, his luck has surely been worn down to almost nothing. Even if he manages to come back, he won’t be able to cause any trouble. If I can’t kill him once, I’ll just do it again.

’The next time he shows up, he’ll be a total nobody. How could I not kill him then? After all, even if he finds a corpse to possess, he won’t be that strong. As for trying to possess someone with a high cultivation? That would be suicide.’

’Jocelyn Grant’s man...’

’He’s bound to show up again.’

She had a feeling she’d be seeing him again very soon.

Meanwhile, the few disciples from the Bloodfiend Den who were controlling the array were in disbelief.

They were all dumbfounded.

"He actually had that trick up his sleeve."

"Damn it, Morgan Quinn’s aura completely vanished. That must have been a long-lost Evil Cultivator’s Forbidden Technique he just used."

"Damn! I can’t believe he still managed to escape."

The Demon Cultivators were beside themselves with regret. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

They couldn’t believe that even with the Array Map, countless Spirit Stones, and Blast Flame Talismans provided by Mrs. Sheffield, they had set up the array and still let him get away.

At that moment, they were so furious that black smoke started rising from their bodies.

The disciples from the Bloodfiend Den walked forward and knelt in unison.

"Mrs. Sheffield, we have failed you."

"Mrs. Sheffield provided us with so much—Spirit Stones, talismans—and we still couldn’t kill him."

Marcus Mercer was the most upset of all.

"This subordinate has failed to live up to your expectations, Mrs. Sheffield. I deserve death."

"Please, punish us, Mrs. Sheffield."

Every one of them was dejected.

Their heads hung low.

Celeste Grant: "..."

’Hey... what happened to the arrogant swagger you had as Demon Cultivators just a moment ago? What’s with all of you acting like lost puppies?’

Celeste Grant raised her hand, signaling for them to rise.

Then she said, "Alright, in the world of Cultivation, who doesn’t have a life-saving trump card? The fact that he could use a Forbidden Technique to escape while trapped in our array is no big deal. What you should be doing isn’t apologizing here. You should be thinking about how to improve the array and fix this loophole, so that the next time you trap him, he won’t be able to escape like this again."

’He is the protagonist, after all.’

’It’s normal that he’s hard to kill.’

"In this Cultivation World, there are many sandbaggers who like to hide their true cultivation. So in the future when you face an enemy, even if their cultivation seems lower than yours, you can’t be careless. If you can swarm them, never fight one-on-one. As Demon Cultivators, you should be ganging up on people. Overwhelming the few with the many is the way to go."

The Bloodfiend Den disciples: "..."

’Excellent.’

’Mrs. Sheffield’s way of thinking suits them more and more.’

Hearing her words, Marcus Mercer and the others placed their hands over their chests.

"We will heed Mrs. Sheffield’s teachings."

’Mrs. Sheffield didn’t blame them at all, and she was even so concerned for them.’

"We subordinates swear our undying loyalty to The Exalted One and to Mrs. Sheffield!"

"Alright, alright, all of you, get up."

Celeste Grant looked at them and said, "Clean up this mess, and let’s head back to the city. By the way, there’s a Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast, a Phantom Spider, over there. If you have a use for it, take it with you. If not, just leave it."

’It looked so filthy she didn’t want it anyway. All black and sticky... just looking at it was enough to make her lose her appetite.’

A Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast corpse? How could they possibly not want it? Even selling it would fetch several hundred Spirit Stones. Of course they wanted it. Not taking it would be a waste.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Mrs. Sheffield! This subordinate will go collect it right now."

Celeste Grant nodded.

She watched as they dismantled the array and collected the thick layer of hornets from the ground into their storage bags. Qi Refinement Realm hornets were ingredients for Alchemy, and could be taken back for the younger disciples to practice with.

And with that, they flew off toward the city.

Celeste Grant was at the Late-stage of Foundation Establishment, but she hadn’t yet learned Sword Flight, so she could only run. It was like using Qinggong, flying for a stretch, landing to push off, and flying again. Even so, her speed was still very fast.

’I need to find some time to learn Sword Flight. Otherwise, I’ll either have to take a Spirit Boat everywhere or run like I’m doing now. It feels a little beneath me.’

「In the blink of an eye, Celeste Grant and her group were back in Hopeless Immortal City.」

Celeste Grant returned to her residence.

She saw that the Demon Cultivators were still following her.

She waved her hand. "You can go about your own business. I don’t need you here."

Marcus Mercer and the others shook their heads.

"No, Mrs. Sheffield. We subordinates will stay to protect you."

"Yes, we must also stay to protect Mrs. Sheffield."

"No, no, it’s fine. I just came out to hunt Demonic Beasts and improve my combat skills." As she spoke, she raised her hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist. "I have this Defensive Magical Artifact that The Exalted One refined for me. Even a Divinity Transformation Stage expert couldn’t hurt me, so you don’t have to worry."

After hearing this, they were completely convinced.

They knew how powerful The Exalted One was.

If The Exalted One allowed Mrs. Sheffield to go out on her own, he must have known she wouldn’t be in any danger. Besides, that Phantom Spider was a Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast, and Mrs. Sheffield killed it all by herself. So, it was unlikely that any ordinary person could get the better of her.

"We subordinates will take our leave."

"Mrs. Sheffield, if you need anything, just blow the Bone Whistle. Any nearby disciples who hear it will come at once."

Celeste Grant nodded.

"Okay, okay."

「After they left.」

Celeste Grant went back to her room.

She planned to get a good night’s sleep.

Even though she was a cultivator and didn’t need to sleep, it was still nice to relax her mind and rest sometimes.

And then, her phone rang.

The moment she heard the phone ring, the first person she thought of was her son, Aaron Sinclair.

’Could it be my sweet baby (´∀｀)♡ looking for me?’

She picked it up and glanced at the screen. It was indeed a call from her son’s phone.

Celeste Grant answered.

"Sweetheart, did you miss me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

Then came the voice of Javier Sinclair.

"You shameless woman!"

Celeste Grant: "..."

’Why is it him?!’
