The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Stacy stared at Austin with all her attention. Her beautiful eyes showed no sign of any emotion. They just stared blankly at the

young man.

Austin had completely no idea what this girl would do to him. Though he was maintaining composure on his face, he internally

racked his brain for a way to escape from her.

"You seem afraid of me?"

Austin heard Stacy ask an unexpected question. He was slightly taken aback amidst his nervousness and alertness. He raised his

head to look at Stacy and saw a glint of mischievousness in her charming eyes.

"l..." Austin fumbled in embarrassment. He continued after a short pause, "I was just trying to help you that day, Miss Ren. I'll zip

my mouth and keep the whole thing about that day a secret. | swear no one else will know any bit of it. The secret will only stay

between you and me.

So I'll be leaving if there are no other things | can help you with."

Austin felt so awkward and uneasy under the girl's gaze that he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"The secret will be more secured if | kill you, as the dead never speaks."

Stacy seemed serious as she uttered those words.

"What are you going to do?" shouted Austin with a slight panic on his voice.

He hurriedly backed off, getting prepared in protecting himself in case Stacy would launch an attack.

To his surprise, the girl just flashed a brilliant smile at him instead of making a move for an attack.

"Wouldn't it seem to be ungrateful if | kill the one who had saved me? You saved my life after all. So | will not kill you. Instead, |

would like to thank you for helpingbecause | can still speak these words to you alive.

I will not blyou for anything."

Stacy's sudden change of attitude startled him so much. Just a few moments ago, she seemed cold as ice and wore a freezing

expression as if she was a pure goddess who hated to see any stranger near her. At this moment, to his amazement, she was

suddenly smiling at him! This relaxed Austin's nerves and even made him feel that all that the girl had said was just a practical

joke against him.

Austin finally let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, Stacy's bluff had indeed scared him to the core.

"What the hell! What a naughty girl! Is she so fond of playing murder jokes on people and making fun of their frightened

expressions?"

Austin heard the FlEmperor speak in his Soul Sea. The FlEmperor had taken Stacy's joking words seriously and he

genuinely felt worried for Austin as well.

The FlEmperor was already a part of Austin now. Since he shared everything Austin had, be it good or bad, there was no way

for him to escape his doom if Austin was killed by this girl.

"That's nice of you, Miss Ren. Thank you very much. If that is all, I'll be leaving and see you next time."

Austin was so eager to leave this girl who seemed unstable as soon as possible! So he turned around immediately after he had

finished speaking his words.

It was now Stacy's turn to be surprised. As the young lady of the Deep Sea Commercial House, she owned a reputation for her

alluring beauty together with the noble status and richness of her family. In the whole domain of the East Mainland, she was known

as the dream girl of those males who were searching for an ideal woman to marry. She didn't know how many nice gentlemen she

had refused.

Stacy could only image how other guys would be all over her, if given the chance. They would have been so excited if they were

honored with such a good opportunity of speaking with her alone in this grove. They would thank all gods in wild ecstasy! That was

why it surprised her that this man in front of her seemed to feel nothing special about her at all. He even seemed so eager to

escape from her.

Feeling a little invalidated that her charms did not work, Stacy frowned a little. Austin's attitude had upset her more or less.

"Stop!" shouted Stacy all of a sudden as she looked at Austin's retreating form.

Austin halted his steps upon hearing her exclaim.

He slowly turned around while maintaining a seemingly polite smile on his face. "Is there anything | can do for you, Miss Ren?"

asked Austin as sweetly as possible.

In reality, Austin's heart hammered when he heard her shout. He cursed internally due to the inconsistency of this young lady's

mind. He just wondered what the hell she would say or do the next moment.

"Are you really just an ordinary disciple of the Shiny Sect in the Dawning Kingdom?

Even though | had managed to hurt Sexton that day, he still had the ability to fight back and protect himself. As far as I'm

concerned, no Semi-holy Realm warriors were able to kill him in spite of his grave injuries. | don't think it would be easy for a mere

Semi-emperor Realm warrior to kill him even under that circumstance. However, you killed him without any difficulty.

Besides, you have a demonic avatar at the level of a demon emperor, which was so powerful.

You have so many secrets! | don't think you are only an ordinary disciple of the Shiny Sect," said Stacy with great curiosity.

Her curiosity about Austin didn't cout for no reason. She was still a little aware when Austin was fighting with Sexton. She

witnessed how their fight unfold and saw how most of it happened. She sank into unconsciousness only after Austin had killed

Sexton and brought her out of the valley.

"Well, Miss Ren, | don't think | have the responsibility of satisfying your curiosity. | think any warrior would have ssecrets of his

own, and I'm by no means an exception. So | feel sorry that | cannot give you the answers you want to know," replied Austin in a

calm manner.

He seemed solemn and serious while he was explaining to her.

Austin's words put Stacy in a sudden daze. It was true that every warrior would have ssecrets that he wouldn't what to share

with others. So what he had said was actually reasonable!

Stacy knew about this fully well. She was also not seager girl poking and prying into someone else's secrets. It had dawned on

her why she asked so much about him. She had no idea why she felt so interested in Austin's things.

Over the past few days, she had been sinking into an intense desire of finding the lad who had saved her in that valley. That was

why she had tried every possible means to do so. Now that she had found this lad and had him right in front of her, she just felt so

awkward to speak with him. She raked her brain for topics that they could talk about, but it seemed that all the topics she had

raised from the beginning were extremely improper.

"Have you heard about what Sexton and | said about the map that day in the valley? | mean the map that will reveal the location of

the Secret Valley of this Wild Herb Valley."

Stacy finally thought of something that Austin might be interested in.

"Yes, of course."

Austin felt surprised for a while with this sudden question. Then he admitted it as there was no use in denying it.

"Are you interested in finding the Secret Valley with me?" asked Stacy with earnestness.

Then she sank into complete silence in expectation of a reply.

"Find the Secret Valley with you?"
