Turning to Sophia and Lucy, he smiled, his heart swelling with affection. “Don’t send me with this sad face. Here, I brought these treasures for you three.” Kent accessed his spirit ring and passed several rare spirit fruits and herbs.
Sophia’s eyes widened with shock. “It seems, you really swept the entire inheritance ground. What is this disc rotating behind your head?” Sophia asked with wide open eyes.
Kent took a deep breath. “This is Divine Disc. One of the three major treasures I got after receiving Storm God Inheritance.” Kent then explained what happened to the girls.
For half an hour, the three girls continued to get stunned by the adventures of Kent. Kent showed each and every item to them while explaining its function.
Finally, it’s time for Kent to leave. As he also want to meet someone else, Kent decided to leave the sect early.
Lucy hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with moisture. “Promise us you’ll come back.”
Kent nodded, his voice steady. “I promise. I’ll come back as soon as I can. And when I do, I won’t l eave you for a second.”
Sophia and Lucy joined Amelia, the three of them forming a tight circle around Kent. They shared a moment of silent understanding, their bond unspoken but deeply felt.
Reluctantly, he stepped back. “I have to go now. Take care of each other until I return.”
Amelia nodded, her voice soft. “We will. Be safe, Kent.”
Kent mounted the Storm God throne once more, giving his girlfriends a final, lingering look. “Goodbye for now. I’ll see you soon.”
With a command, the throne lifted into the air, and Kent flew away from sect.
After leaving the sect grounds, Kent directly went to Golden Bamboo City. Kent felt a mix of urgency and longing as he descended near an old store, a nondescript building that housed the teleportation point to the Poison Sect.
Kent entered the store, its interior dimly lit and filled with the scent of herbs and old wood. He approached the old man who guards the teleportation point,
Instead of requesting the old man, he activated his sky orb, contacting Princess Maya of the Poison Sect. Her face appeared on the orb, her eyes lighting up with surprise and joy.
“Kent! When did you return to Golden Bamboo City?”
“Just an hour back. I will be leaving again for a long time. I came to say good bye.” Kent said, his voice filled with urgency.
Colors changed on Maya’s face and her face turned sad in an instant. “I’ll be there right away. Please wait.”
It wasn’t long before Maya arrived, her presence as striking as ever. She wore a flowing emerald robe, her dark hair cascading down her back. As soon as she saw Kent, her eyes filled with tears. Without a word, she rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly.
“Kent, what’s happening? Why are you leaving again, that too so suddenly?” Maya asked, her voice trembling.
Kent held her close, feeling the weight of the moment. “I have to leave with my Aunt Eila for a journey that will keep me away for a long time. But I couldn’t go without seeing you first.”
Maya looked up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I can’t believe you’re leaving. Do you know how many times, I thought about you?”
Kent gently rubbed her head, trying to soothe her. “I’ll be back by the time of immortal beast spirit gathering, Maya. I promise.”

Maya clung to him, her fingers gripping his robes. She didn’t understand how to express her feeling more than a deep hug. But Kent can understand the affection she had for him.
Kent felt a lump in his throat, his own emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment. “I’ll miss you too, Maya. More than you know. But I’ll return soon. And when I do, we’ll have our time together.”
Maya pulled back slightly, her eyes searching his. “Promise me you’ll stay safe.”
“I promise,” Kent said, his voice firm. “I’ll stay safe and come back to you.”
Maya’s tears continued to fall as she leaned in, pressing her lips to his in a tender kiss. It was a moment of pure emotion, a promise sealed with love. When they finally pulled apart, Kent wiped her tears away with a gentle touch.
With a final, lingering hug, Kent stepped back. Maya waved her hand in goodbye, her heart clearly aching.
Kent gave her a reassuring smile, though his own heart felt heavy.
As Kent was busy meeting with his loved ones, high above, in the skies of Eternal Sun Sect, Mohini approached Eila, her black serpent beast, Lambu, gliding silently through the clouds. Mohini landed gracefully beside Eila, who was waiting patiently.
“Madam Eila,” Mohini greeted, bowing her head respectfully.
Eila smiled warmly. “Seventh Witch Mohini, thank you for your service. You’ve done well in watching over Kent. Now, it’s time for you to return to the Home of Seven Sisters.”
Mohini’s face faltered, a shadow of sadness passing over her features. Even Lambu let out a low, mournful hiss, reflecting her emotions. “As you wish, Madam Eila,” Mohini replied, her voice tinged with reluctance. She turned around slowly, her heart heavy.
Over the past few months, she and Lambu had followed Kent closely, protecting him from the shadows, and she had grown attached to him. The sudden departure was difficult to accept. As she flew away, she consoled herself with the thought that she might see Kent again in the future.
Meanwhile, after his emotional farewell with Princess Maya of the Poison Sect, Kent was lost in thought. He considered his next destination, the Autumn Wind Sect, where he wanted to meet Mia Snow, who is his first time from Silver Leaf Town, and also inquire about Thea in the Autumn Wind Sect.
