Luck is a Charm

Chapter 66: Secret Hideout

Dashing for another 70km away from the town that is now overrun by magical beasts, Zen finally arrived in the secret hideout.

"Hehe, sorry to intrude if anyone is actually here. This place is now my area until everything is looted."

"Enough with your comedian speech because it's irritating me. Just hurry up and finish the task." Cecilia said coldly after hearing his dumb speech.

Kicking a rock on the floor nearby, Zen walks inside the hideout which is surrounded by many rocks and leaves.

'If it weren't for that last dude memory for this place, we would have definitely missed this place given how much it blends with the environment.'

Walking inside, Zen used his spiritual sense to scan the area and noticed that it's extremely spacious compared to the narrow entrances.

"Those dogs truly know how to enjoy life while committing all those atrocities. I would gladly live here with all these luxuries."

There were lights and many comfy chairs with treasures laying on the floor. It's like they don't even bother hiding it since they're so confident that no one would be able to infiltrate here.

Not wasting any moment, Zen casually stores everything he deems valuable into his spatial ring before heading out.

*Creak*

Right as Zen was about to leave, Silence activated a hidden mechanism behind a wall and it started making a creaking sound.

"Careful Zen, I can't detect what's inside the room." Cecilia instantly warned Zen since she didn't notice a mechanism here.

"Don't worry Cecilia, I'll be fine. After all, don't we get the powerful and supreme being, Silence to do the scouting for us?" Zen said while waving his right-hand open to allow Silence to do the honor.

Silence was speechless at his shamelessness. To make things worse, he didn't even bother telling him to be a guinea pig in case there was danger.

"You're not a woman so stop being such a sissy. To think you call yourself the strongest celestial sword in the whole world."

Zen continued to taunt and humiliate Silence further since being nice to him would backfire. Being nice to someone who's always full of pride would be asking for something impossible.

Only by being a scoundrel can he get Silence to do the task he asked for. Besides, he's just lazy and prefers not to handle everything by himself.

After all, he is now exhausted from running so much within a day. Zen was actually scared when those depraved beasts show up in front of him and he would probably have the same fate as those corpses if he was alone.

Showing a silly smile on his face, Zen watches Silence as he heads inside the place where the dogs require a mechanism to hide it.

For the dogs to not care about having securities in the treasures but have a mechanism behind this door should be something good.

Waiting for a while, Silence suddenly outbursts aloud from inside. Hearing a celestial sword to be this surprised, means something unusual has happened.

Zen instantly rushed inside the place to assist him. However, his footstep stopped as he eyed something.

More particularly, it was the nude woman being chained up and those chains should be special as they could hide her aura completely.

"Silence, did you really screamed aloud because of a naked woman."

"Fool, if it's just a naked woman, do you think I would care since my former master has fuck many peerless naked beauties before."

"Damn your master for having such lady luck but can you explain what's going on with her then. Although she is nude, I can tell she's still pure because I don't sense a mature aura nor anything of her being violated."

Zen has seen Sara's naked before so he wouldn't pop his eye out to stare at this woman since her face was covered by her long hair.

She does have a good figure that could rival Cecilia but Zen wouldn't lust after this. Not after knowing how the dogs took special care to have a mechanism in hiding her.

"Listen carefully Zen, she might be one to have the celestial physique in her body and once we release this chain, she would wake up since her consciousness is now deep asleep."

'Celestial physique? What the hell is this new term?' Zen has many questions in his mind but Silence didn't wait any further before slicing the chain off.

*Clank*

As the chain falls off, a gravity pressure erupts in this place and Zen is caught off-guard by this sudden pressure.

Zen dropped to the ground with one knee before utilizing his true qi to dispel this pressure.

"Why is everything so crazy whenever I'm involved. You couldn't have warned me this would happen or did you do it on purpose, Silence?"

Zen tried to continue to argue with Silence who definitely did this to have him embarrassed himself for being so carefree.

"W-Who are you?"

The woman spoke up while looking at Zen since she didn't recall him in her memories.

*Arghh*

The woman suddenly grabbed her head in agony as she screamed. Zen saw this happening and instantly took off his clothes to cover her body before stroking her back slowly.

This kind of situation was something Zen knew very well. He was a victim to this process many times after coming to this world when he had information flooding his brain cell.

"Relax your nerves and calm down," Zen said softly as he continued to stroke her back lightly.

Although he can feel the smooth texture of her skin, Zen was not taking advantage of this and simply trying to have her feel at ease.

Silence was still floating above while staring at this woman quietly.

'A celestial physique that is compatible with every poison in the cosmic. Such a physique was supposed to be in the legend as his former master never managed to find one for his partner.'

"Zen, you should be careful when touching her otherwise you may get poisoned by her accidentally." Silence warned him since this physique has never been seen before.

Even Cecilia who was a Sovereign would never know this kind of information because his master only found this information in a ruin they used to explore together.

Zen didn't move at all while his hand continued to stroke the woman's back slowly. However, his lip has turned purple while his vein starts showing up in his hand.

The woman who has finally calmed down notices the man calming her down got poisoned by her unconsciously, hurriedly dispel the poison off of him.

She was chained in here because of her grandfather in this secret hideout to prevent the poison inside her to leak out. She agreed with it because she doesn't want to harm anyone for no reason.

To be chained up, she has to be completely naked otherwise, the effect of the chain would not be maximized and there could be a chance where her poison could corrode the chain.

For an unknown time, she was kept here and fell into slumber until opening her eye once again to see an unfamiliar man.

She was shocked to see someone else because her grandfather said he would release her when he finds a cure for her physique. Afterward, she felt the pain of headache and some heartache for reasons she couldn't comprehend.

"S-Sorry, my name is Freya Rosewood and I'm from an empyrean family. Thank you for awakening me so allow me to bring you back to my home."

"Wait? Empyrean family? You don't belong in this tiny world but from above?" Zen said as he slowly circulated true qi and whether she's an enemy or not.

The term "empyrean" has given only hatred and disgust in Zen's mind. Plus, they are Cecilia's enemies but he doesn't know many details other than they are an empyrean cultivator.

If coincidence actually happened and she was from the family that plotted against Cecilia. He would have to decide whether to spare her or kill her.
