Chapter 3574 A Conspiracy

Letitia fixed Zen with a look.

Margaret looked up at the newly arrived Elvinia as she placed a hand instinctively on her belly.

The old Margaret would have already shown some hostility to Elvinia, jealous of any woman who got close to Zen.

But now she was pregnant, she kept a level head. It hadn't been easy to bear this child. She didn't want her emotions to fluctuate too much and endanger the pregnancy.

Elvinia's face was surprisingly calm, but there was stubbornness in her delicate eyes.

Zen's reaction at the Supreme Dragon Hall to their proposed marriage had subjected Elvinia to embarrassment, but she didn't care. The only thing she wanted to know now was how Zen really felt about her.

Elvinia's lips trembled as she struggled to keep her chin up. She admitted she had a rough relationship with Zen in the beginning, but since their journey to the Dark Region, she had been infatuated with the sense of security she had when she was with him.

She also knew that Zen trusted Dorothy more than her, so she had to be aggressive in making her feelings known.

Zen turned to Elvinia. "Even if I like you, it doesn't mean that you can do this to Tia, manipulating her into doing what you want."

This caused a small smile to play on Letitia's lips. Despite it all, she had still hoped she was the most special one in Zen's heart.

Meanwhile, Margaret pursed her lips. That was just like Zen to say that. This was why she had spent almost a lifetime at odds with Letitia.

Elvinia, meanwhile, was just happy she finally got her answer. The nervous look in her eyes was replaced almost immediately by relief. "Alright then. It will not happen again."

Smiling to herself, she swept out of the Fire Bearing Hall.

As Zen puzzled over Elvinia's reaction, Letitia, who was next to him, beamed up at him. "That was amazing diplomacy, darling! You made Princess Elvinia compromise."

"Compromise?" Zen blinked in confusion.

"She got the answer she wanted. The least she could do is compromise," Margaret muttered.

Zen walked over to Margaret and gently crouched beside her. "Now, don't be like that. Be mindful of your condition. Anyway, the Fire Bearing Hall is not suitable for you. We need to get you out of here as soon as possible."

Zen turned to look at Letitia. "I know you want me to use the Oneness Sky Palace to revive the Nine Li race, but the situation in the Source World has become extremely complicated."

After his visit to the Pear

"Zen," Gethin replied.

It was true that Zen was a talented warrior, but he held no threat to the Bearing race.

"Do you want us to kill him?" A trace of excitement lit up Natasha's face. Things didn't end well the last time they kidnapped Zen and took him to the Vastness Mountain. All the trouble hadn't been worth it. What was worse, the Vastness Mountain actually didn't dare do anything to him.

"We need to capture him alive. Zen seems quite important to them." Even Gethin seemed torn about this. Everyone knew Zen was an outstanding talent, but what was the point of keeping him alive?

"That's good enough," Natasha sneered, a glint of malice in her eyes.

On the Origin Mountain, a forest of emerald-green trees surrounded a small lake.

Countless arrays had been engraved around these trees.

All together, they formed the Spirit-shaking Array, which protected the small lake and its immediate surroundings.

It was also fully activated whenever Yasamin entered the Other Shore. It was risky, after all, for a powerful being like her to just leave her physical body behind, which was vulnerable to any attack.

Anyone who crossed the Spirit-shaking Array when it was activated would immediately be killed, except for a select few of the Origin Mountain who were allowed to enter it.

Presently, Dorothy stood outside the forest. She paused for a moment before smoothly entering the threshold.

The Spirit-shaking Array released a rune to cover the surface of Dorothy's body. The surrounding trees flashed with a red light.

The light died down as the rune apparently verified Dorothy's identity and allowed her through.
