Chapter 1248 Nose Bleed
“No need to thank me, Lady Jingle! It was a piece of cake.” Jared smiled.
“It may be a piece of cake for you, but you saved all of Crimson Palace, Mr. Chance. We’ll definitely repay our gratitude one day!” Cecilia said.
“You speak too highly of my action, Lady Jingle.” He didn’t plan to let Crimson Palace repay him.
“You’re our savior, Jared. You should stay in Crimson Palace for a couple of days so we can repay you!” Millie said as she guided him into the hall.
During lunch, Cecilia personally prepared Jared a tableful of dishes.
Staring at the delicious food, he was surprised that a leader like her knew how to cook.
“You’re a lucky man, Jared! The food my sister makes is really delicious!” Millie put food onto Jared’s plate as she spoke.
“Lady Jingle’s cooking skill is indeed impressive!” He nodded.
“You should eat more if you like it, Mr. Chance. Also, no need to address me as Lady Jingle in the future. Just call me Cecilia or Lia!” When Cecilia finished speaking, her cheeks were totally blushed.
She was so embarrassed she couldn’t look Jared in the eye.
That gave him pause. He wasn’t going to call her that because they weren’t that close yet.
Thus, he said, “I’ll refer to you as Ms. Jingle in the future!”
A tinge of disappointment could be seen on Cecilia’s face, though she didn’t say anything.
“Can you stay at Crimson Palace for a longer while, Jared?” Millie requested.
His head shook. “I still have a lot of things to do, so I can’t stay here for long.”
Since the year was coming to an end, he wanted to make the most of his remaining time to cultivate so that he could save his mother and Josephine.
Upon hearing that, she was disappointed, but she still smiled. “Even though you can’t stay long, you still have time to visit us, right, Jared?”
“Of course! If I have time, I’ll definitely revisit this place. It has a nice view, and the atmosphere is serene. It’s perfect for cultivation!” Jared smiled.
“Oh yeah, what did you do in the cave at the back of the mountain, Jared?” It was then Millie recalled she found him there, so she was quite curious about what he was doing in the cave.
The moment Cecilia heard Millie mentioning the cave, her expression changed slightly as she turned to Jared.
“I was just strolling about when I suddenly found the cave. I detected an abundance of spiritual energy inside, so I cultivated there for two days!”
What he said wasn’t a lie.
“Jared, you—” Millie wanted to ask more questions, but she was stopped by Cecilia’s glare.
Cecilia interrupted, “Eat quickly and then stand guard at the entrance, Millie! Mr. Chance won’t be able to eat if you keep asking him questions!”
Upon hearing that, Millie stuck her tongue out at Jared before diving into her meal.
Once the meal was over and the table was cleaned, Cecilia sent everyone away.
Currently, there were only her and Jared inside the room. The atmosphere suddenly felt a little awkward.
“I’ve once sent out a notice saying that I’ll sleep with whoever saves Crimson Palace for one night and that I may even marry him! Now that you’ve helped us destroy Peyton, you’re free to do whatever you want with me…”
As she spoke, she took off her red dress.
Her white, silky skin was instantly revealed as her sweet body scent filled the room.
When Jared saw that, blood instantly rushed into his head and also flowed out of his nose.
He quickly turned around and covered his nose with his hand. “I don’t know anything about the notice you sent out, but I don’t plan to do anything with you, so please put your clothes back on.”
“What’s wrong? You don’t like my body?” A tinge of surprise was present in her eyes as she stared at him. “If you don’t like me, you’re free to pick anyone else from Crimson Palace, including Millie. I can ask one of them to sleep with you!”
