Chapter 1899
Chapter 1899: Chapter 1899: Sharing with the Williams Saintess Chapter 1899: Chapter 1899: Sharing with the Williams Saintess Watching the somewhat worried expression on Williams Saintess, Ethan Smith couldn't help but say, “They are all children of the Monohorse Hall, even if there is any danger, they should have methods to save their lives.”
Upon hearing this, the saintess shook her head and replied, “No, you underestimate the Monohorse Hall.”
Ethan was a bit surprised and waited for her to continue.
Williams Saintess explained, “This journey to the sanctum was meant for training. If life-saving methods were set up, the training would be meaningless and wouldn't bring any improvement.”
Having heard this, Ethan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Even so, Ethan didn't believe it.
These aristocratic families must have left some means of protection on their bodies. They absolutely wouldn't allow any accidents to occur.
“Alright, let them rely on their own fortunes,” Ethan urged.
In Ethan's view, they had to find the secret treasure before others, otherwise, they probably wouldn't get anything.
The two pressed onwards. Just like Ethan had remembered, their journey proceeded smoothly without any obstacles.
Before long, they arrived in front of a massive stone door.
The stone door was colossal, towering over several people. Its grandeur and oppressive feel were complemented by rays of extreme might, causing the two to gasp for breath.
Ethan fell silent. He gathered his strength to attempt to push the enormous stone door.
A golden radiance flickered on his palm, and his formidable force caused the giant door to boom loudly.
Countless particles of dust were stirred up at this moment, causing the distant Williams Saintess to cover her mouth and nose.
“The stone door isn't opened like this,” interjected the saintess at that moment.
Ethan turned his head towards the saintess and asked, “Then how is it opened?”
The saintess said nothing as she walked towards the door and stopped.
She brought her hands together in a gesture of prayer while reciting some words. It seemed like she was drawing the grand Dao, and an extremely mysterious radiance emerged around her.
“Rumble…”
Accompanied by continuous roars, the massive door slowly opened.
The moment the door creaked open, an old aura washed over them. The first thing that came into view was an ancient cave.
The walls were riddled with numerous caves, resembling cabinets crafted from stone.
The duo quickly entered, not wasting any time.
Then, Ethan released his divine sense, covering all his surroundings, trying to find out something.
Disappointingly, except for what was in front of them, there was nothing else.
Ethan frowned and muttered, “This really is an incomplete sanctum…”
If it were a complete sanctum, their journey wouldn't have been smooth.
Begrudgingly, there was nothing here. It seemed more like a storage room instead.
“Alright, time to split the spoils,” Ethan grumbled.
The saintess glanced at Ethan but remained silent.
Her palm gently reached out, and the numerous treasures floated mid-air.
Despite their luster having faded from being buried for many years and even being covered by dust, Ethan still saw the uniqueness of these treasures.
He activated his desolate divine eye and scanned each treasure one by one.
Soon, Ethan's gaze fell upon a divine stone.
The stone didn't appear to have any luster or fluctuating aura. However, the stone's origin was extraordinary!
“If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Bodhi gem…” Ethan murmured.
With his heart stirred, Ethan subconsciously glanced at the saintess.
However, at that moment, the saintess's gaze also fell onto the Bodhi gem.
Ethan had a bad feeling.
It seemed that the saintess already knew how precious the gem was.
“Saintess,” Ethan Smith started, saying in formal courtesy, “There are many treasures here. I will only take one of them, that alright?”
With a hand over her mouth suppressing a laugh, and squinted eyes, the saintess replied, “The one you speak of, could it be the Bodhi gem?”
Ethan's face slightly changed, and he got an unsettling feeling.
The lofty and detached aura on the saintess had disappeared, and instead, she seemed like a cunning old witch.
This saintess was certainly not as simple as she seemed!
“Correct.” Finally, Ethan conceded after some hesitation.
Since it was already revealed, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
The saintess chuckled lightly, “I didn't expect you to know about the origin of the Bodhi gem.”
Ethan Smith was silent. If the saintess refused, he wouldn't have been able to do anything.
It was uncertain who would win if they fought against each other in this place.
Moreover, without the saintess's help, Nathan Taylor and Michael Wilson would definitely not let him off.
With these thoughts, Ethan gritted his teeth and magnanimously stated, “Since you also seem to be interested in this Bodhi gem, I won't compete with you for it.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the saintess.
She looked at Ethan and coyly stated, “So, you are giving up just like that?”
Ethan shrugged, “What else can you do? Fight over it here with you? I don't think that's necessary.”
The smile on the face of the saintess deepened. With a light wave of her hand, she pulled the Bodhi gem into her possession.
With the rest of the treasures being divided by the saintess's divine power into two equal shares, one portion falling into Ethan's hand, and the other into the saintess's.
This immediately annoyed Ethan. Dammit, this woman was indeed greedy. Taking the Bodhi gem aside, she actually wanted to split the remaining treasures equally as well!
“Don't worry,” chimed the saintess once again.
She glanced at Ethan and calmly stated, “Since we both worked for this result, let's co-own this Bodhi gem. How about that?”
“Co-own?” Ethan was taken aback, a puzzled expression on his face.
“That's right,” said the saintess while smiling faintly, “Or perhaps Mr. Smith is unwilling?”
