“Get away from me! Who on earth would want to be connected to this brute spiritually? I am a Xanadu Nothingness God!”
Marius scoffed, “Iʼm the one who should be saying that. Who on earth would want an ignorant wench like you as their partner? Well, I donʼt.”
Taichu shouted, “Yiulia, you evil wench! Cut off the knot this instant! We are a terrible match! I donʼt want this!”
“Yiulia, Iʼve helped you once. Nowʼs your chance to return the favor,” Marius growled, “Stop this and you wonʼt owe me anything anymore!”
Thea and Yiulia stared with rounded eyes at the fiery red threads that went around the pair nonstop.
Thea turned her eyes to Yiulia a brief moment later. “Are you trying to force them into becoming a couple?”
“This isnʼt my doing.” Yiulia shook her head.
“They always fight whenever they see each other. Itʼs gone on for many entrapochs. The knot came about from all that fighting.”
Thea narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Yiuliaʼs face.
“Youʼre in charge of the Gate of Creation, right? Why are you suddenly doing a matchmakerʼs work?”
With an innocent look on her face, Yiulia shrugged. “Their knot was somehow created in the Gate of Mystery. I have no idea how it happened either.”
“Interesting.” Thea crossed her arms and grinned mischievously. “If Mr. Marius and Ms. Taichu are dating, my husband will be able to obtain the Xyloria Taichu Pearl. Heʼll be one step closer to completing the Five Spirits Integration.”
Yiuliaʼs brows twitched.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Thea asked.
“Youʼre constantly thinking of how to please him.” Yiulia said teasingly, “No wonder heʼs head over heels for you.”
“Oho!” Theaʼs grin broadened. “You make it sound as though Iʼm lower than those who offered themselves to James but were rejected.”
Yiulia snapped, “Why you…”
Taichu fumed, “Why you…”
“Alright, thatʼs enough.” Thea cut them off. She said smilingly, “We are all friends now. So, letʼs head inside the Wyrmscale Source first.
“The thing is, James, whom you two are so concerned about, is putting on his best act and executing his plan at the Qadeer Temple right now.”
The pair stopped yelling at each other and asked almost simultaneously, “What do you mean by executing his plan?”
Thea sighed wearily. She followed Jamesʼ request and shared his entire plan with Marius and Taichu.
After listening to Theaʼs explanation, those two rushed toward the Wyrmscale Source right away.
They knew very well what James was trying to achieve through his plan. It was not the time for them to bicker anymore.
Thea and Yiulia exchanged a glance. Then, the two of them quickly followed behind the couple.
