Chapter 1715: Little Story of the Past

Just when Lin Huang had taken a few steps, after turning around, he saw a black-haired lady walking toward him.

The lady had black hair and black eyes; her features were profound. She also wore a black dress.

The intensity of her aura was clearly at lower-rank lord-level. Not only that, she gave Lin Huang the impression that she had just elevated not too long ago.

“Chief Lin, I’ve admired you for a long time. I didn’t expect our first meeting to be during such an occasion.” The black-haired lady walked over to Lin Huang with a glass of wine in hand.

Lin Huang tried to recall carefully, but could not for the life of him figure out who the person was.

It was only after seeing the doubt on his face that the black-haired lady introduced herself with a smile.

“I almost forgot to introduce myself. I’m Beth from Xeno.”

“Hi, Miss Beth.”

Lin Huang recalled that this person was Xeno’s newly-assigned federal vice president.

He also recalled that, in the guest information that Sword 1 had sent over, this person was the only one who had no picture attached.

The reason was that Beth had been in closed-door cultivation for many years in order to break through to lord-level. Her information was not available on the internet at all.

She had only appeared again during recent months. Not only that, she returned to Xeno as a Lord. She was then elected as the vice president directly.

“Now that I think about it, our meeting was quite fated, Chief Lin.” Beth took a small sip of the red wine.

“Fated?” Lin Huang was stunned. He was sure that he had never seen this lady before.

Beth extended a finger. A black mist spread out from her fingertip.

Lin Huang frowned as he sensed the aura of her Divine Power.

The aura was rather familiar indeed. After feeling the aura and running it through his memories quickly, he instantly remembered the imperial monster under him—Evil Dominator!

“You are…”

Without waiting for Lin Huang to finish speaking, Beth raised her eyes and whispered into Lin Huang’s ear, “I’m Death Goddess who left behind an imprint on you back then…”

As soon as Beth was done speaking, she backed off while staring at Lin Huang with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his response.

“Your aura is a little different. Not only that, you’re more powerful than her.” Lin Huang had a rough estimate of what was going on with this person.

“To be exact, Death Goddess is a clone of mine. After I went into closed-door cultivation, I left behind a couple of clones to help me handle matters in the outside world. The Death Goddess was one of them. During the final two to three years of my closed-door cultivation, I recalled all of my clones as I had a feeling that I might be able to perform unification at any moment. Therefore, I absorbed all of my clones’ experiences and memories. Thus, I found out about this part of her memory.”

“I was wondering why she left an imprint behind when she wasn’t going to stir up trouble with me. I should thank you, then.” Lin Huang finally unraveled the entire story when he listened to her explanation up to this point.

When he killed Evil Dominator in the gravel world back then, a powerhouse named Death Goddess left an imprint on his body.

In reality, after arriving in the great world, he had been a little worried that Death Goddess would stir up trouble with him. The reason for that was because he was sure that the person was at least a high-rank True God, or even a Heavenly God. However, up until he removed the imprint, Death Goddess had not shown up at all. He was actually quite confused about this matter for some time.

Only now did he find out that Beth had recalled that clone, which was how he escaped a disaster.

“If I knew that you possessed such great talent and potential, I would’ve recalled my clones one to two years later,” Beth said with a smile while covering her mouth.

Naturally, Lin Huang knew that she was just kidding.

If he considered things properly, he should actually thank Beth.

He killed the evil spirit type monster back then and obtained a gush of tinder from Beth’s Divine Fire. That was how he managed to light his Divine Fire while only being at imperial-level, at the same time obtaining a cultivation foundation that surpassed everyone else.

Although the person had left behind an imprint on him with ill intentions, she did not do anything meaningful later on, nor did she influence his development negatively either.

Therefore, he held no ill-will toward Beth.

Moreover, given that she was now taking the initiative to tell him all this, she clearly had intentions of reconciling.

“No acquaintance is made without a fight, I guess.” Lin Huang raised the wine glass in his hand.

Beth happily clinked Lin Huang’s glass. “That’s right. It’s just a little story from the past.”

Although she had been elevated to Lord, she could actually sense that she was not Lin Huang’s match. She did not want to become enemies with Lin Huang. She took the initiative to make this clear as she was worried that Lin Huang would find out about the matter in the future, and that she was the mastermind behind it.

After clarifying things, she realized that Lin Huang really did not take the matter to heart.

Lin Huang felt warm from the chat he had with Beth.

It had been a short few years. The Primordium of an entity, whose clone had been enough to scare him and make him fearful in the past, now had lower ability than he did.

He also thought that fate was magical. He could not believe that he had such an encounter with Beth in the past, and that he was now seeing her Primordium on such an occasion.

Many saw the scene of the two chatting.

As the chat happened through voice transmission, the others could not hear the content of the conversation. They could only come up with their own guesses.

They thought Beth was carrying out Xeno’s mission and talking business with Lin Huang.

“As expected, Xeno came prepared. I can’t believe they’re using beauty to seduce him?!”

“Xeno’s newly assigned vice president is really something. Chief Lin seems to be very interested in her.”

“I wonder what kind of collaboration will Xeno and Sword Alliance come up with. They seem to be happy from the way things are progressing.”

…

Shen Tu had been secretly watching Lin Huang’s movements.

He looked down on Lin Huang even more now that he saw him chatting with Beth for a long period of time.

“As I expected, he’s a fool. He’s helpless when it comes to women. When a man has money and power, he can have any woman he wants, no?! His flaw is too obvious. He’s too timid in the presence of women…”

Lin Huang and Beth had no idea that they were being misunderstood by everyone at the scene, who believed that Xeno and the Sword Alliance were talking business when in actual fact they were chatting about some personal matters from the past.

Even the few people from Xeno were rather dumbstruck. There were already some organizations trying to find out their intentions in collaborating with the Sword Alliance.

However, they had not planned on entering a serious collaboration with the Sword Alliance, and had not given Beth any assignments in this regard.

Once Beth returned to the group, the president Link immediately asked through voice transmission, “What have you been talking about with Chief Lin?”

“Just some personal matters,” Beth said rather helplessly.

The banquet was coming to an end when night fell.

The preliminary discussion on the collaborations with the various organizations was almost done. Lin Huang and Sword 1 sent the guests out in batches.

Most of the guests left directly, while some of them chose to stay in the Pilgrim Star Zone for a few days for vacation.

Sword 1 got the Sword Servants to arrange the accommodation for the guests that stayed.

After all, it was the Sword Alliance’s territory. They had to do their best as the host.

After arranging all that, Lin Huang spared some time to contact Bloody, asking about Kylie’s condition.

“She has found a safe place and has begun her breakthrough. I’ll guard her at all times.”

Bloody’s reply was simple and short, but it made Lin Huang relieved.
