Chapter 61 The Sword–Wielding Girl
Jason hurriedly maneuvered the car into the emergency lane and stopped before turning on the headlights. Without wasting any time, William immediately yanked the door open and jumped out of the fence before dashing up the mountain.
Jason hastily called out after him, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
William, on the other hand, paid no attention to him and ran even faster. As his Qi surged, a single step of his spanned nearly thirty meters. He leaped and took to the air, arriving at the peak in a flash.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was because in that brief moment, he caught sight of a woman in a red robe practicing with a sword in the forest, her movements as swift as a dragon’s. Her sword swung at such a speed that William felt that even he wouldn’t be able to block her attacks as it was just too quick. Hence, he was extremely interested in learning more about this individual.
Shing!
In an instant, a sword was pointed at his throat and barely an inch away from slicing his skin open. The surface of the sword glowed with a faint blue aura, sharp and unparalleled.
When William lifted his head, he saw a girl clad in red who seemed to be around twenty–eight years old. Her feet were bare, and her skin was fair. She looked like she came straight out of a painting, and the cold aura she exuded made her seem as if she were not of this world.
“Who are you?” she asked in a stiff tone, like a child that had just learned to speak.
William replied, “I saw you practicing your sword earlier, and your skills amazed me. I only came over to take a look out of curiosity.”
“What’s so nice about sword practice?” She stared at William before she

suddenly asked, “What day is it?”
He hurriedly replied, “It’s July the third.”
Hearing that, the girl in red mumbled, “A year has passed, so I can leave.”
She looked down the mountain. “Is that car yours?”
William nodded. “That it is.”
“I’ll take your car and leave,” she said. From the looks of it, she didn’t have any social skills at all.
He smiled and agreed. “All right. I’m just about to go to Kreim Capital.”
“Kreim? That’s good. It’s a big city,” she said.
After waiting for some time, Jason saw William walking over with a breathtakingly stunning girl dressed in red who was emanating a cold
aura.
Once William and the girl settled down in the backseat and the car started again, he asked, “Why were you practicing the sword in the mountains?”
The girl replied, “Master said that my sword energy is too strong. If I practice outside, I’ll easily hurt someone.”
William nodded. “Your swordsmanship is filled with Murderous Energy. The power of this Murderous Energy isn’t any lesser than Killing Intent, and it’s harmful to the human body.”
“Now that you’ve said so, it makes sense.”
Seeing that she had no shoes and her clothes were tattered and filled with holes, William asked, “Which part of Kreim are you going to?”
The girl paused to think before saying, “I don’t know, I haven’t been there before. Anywhere’s fine.”

After pondering for a moment, William suggested, “If you don’t have anywhere to go, come with me to the hotel. You can take a bath there and change into something that’s more normal.”
The girl was taken aback by his words. “Am I not normal now?”
William smiled and said, “Very much so.”
After a moment of thought, she said, “But I don’t have any other clothes.”
“It’s fine. I can buy them for you.”
Suddenly, the girl stared at him intently. “Master said that if a man treats you well, he definitely has ulterior motives.”
William was momentarily rendered speechless by her words before he said, “Your master isn’t wrong, but the reason I’m helping you is out of sympathy, and also because I want to see you practice the sword.”
The girl asked curiously, “You want to see me practice the sword? Will you understand?”
Her swordsmanship was extremely fast, and not even her master was able to understand it. How could this person decipher her movements?
William nodded. “Of course, I can. When I was climbing the mountain, you were stabbing mosquitoes with your sword.”
The girl jolted in shock. “So, you could see my movements. How amazing!”
William smiled bitterly. “You’re the amazing one. Your swordsmanship is truly terrifying. Not even bullets are faster than you.”
“If you want to watch me practice my sword, I can do it for you, but I’m hungry now, so treat me to a meal first.”
Hearing that, William laughed. “Ten meals wouldn’t even be a problem!”

Then, he asked, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Scarlet Lashway,” the girl replied.

“Scarlet, when you’re practicing the sword on the mountains, what do you eat, and where do you live?”
“I eat wild fruits, rabbit meat, deer meat, and snake meat. Sometimes, I’ll go down the mountain to pick some sweet potatoes.”
William frowned. “Does your master leave you to live in these conditions?”
“It’s normal. I’ve always lived like this ever since I was a child.”
William found it strange. Scarlet’s master was just too cold–hearted for allowing a girl to suffer so much. Moreover, through his observations, he noticed that Scarlet had a high level of cultivation, most likely making her a skilled martial artist. In that case, what kind of person could her master be? Was he or she a Divine Realm Master?
Hence, he asked, “Didn’t your master tell you where you should go after a year?”
Scarlet shook her head. “She didn’t. However, no matter where I go, Master will always be able to find me.”
Soon, the car exited the highway and entered the city, and William instructed Jason to stop the car at a shopping mall where they could buy some food and clothes for Scarlet. As he didn’t possess any experience in buying women’s clothing, he asked for a sales assistant’s help to pick out a few outfits and shoes for Scarlet.
After finishing their shopping, they went to a hair salon where Scarlet was given a new hairstyle. With her new look, she transformed from an aloof and distant fairy into a stunningly beautiful young girl in a pair of shorts, a white embroidered T–shirt, and a pair of sandals. Though her clothes were simple, they were all from international luxury brands suitable for her age, and she looked like a gorgeous high schooler in them. Her beauty wast so stunning that anyone who saw her couldn’t help but take a second

glance.
Next, William took her out for a hearty lunch consisting of four main. dishes and two large plates of sandwiches. As someone who had lived in the mountains for a year, Scarlet’s eyes lit up at the sight of the food. Though she quickly wolfed the food down, she did so with elegance, showing that she may have been trained in etiquette.
William was not hungry, so he only watched her from the side. Once she was nearly done, he asked, “Do you want more?”
Scarlet shook her head. “Although I’m not full, I can’t eat anymore.”
He said with a smile, “In that case, let’s go. I’ll take you to the hotel.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
There was a luxury hotel nearby the mall, and William booked a room for Scarlet there. Then, he handed her a card and told her the password.
“There’s 15 thousand in this card, enough to last you quite a while. You can wait for your master to find you here, or you can walk around and look at the city. Remember, you have to wear shoes if you leave the room.”
Scarlet blinked her lovely eyes as she listened to him speak, and after he was finished, she asked, “Where are you going?”
William explained, “I’m going to settle some matters.”
“Can I come?” she asked.
He had bought her clothes and food. She suddenly felt that she had found herself the perfect person to cling to, so how could she let him go so easily?
William smiled and said, “Do you want to come along? All right, but you have to take a shower first.”
