41 A peaceful sit together.

"w-w-what are you doing?" (Sarah)

Sam lifted Sarah up from the ground, like carrying a princess, which both startled and panicked Sarah. However, Sam ignored her mood and brought her over the edge of the nearly-plane large rock, which he sat on before, and gently made her sit on it. Then he too sat beside her, and showed a smile: "Just this."

"can I hold your hand?" (Sam)

But even before Sarah could reply...Sam showed how thick-skinned he is, by grasping her hand.

{this bastard!} Sarah cursed inwardly. However, she didn't reject it. She let him hold her hand. It's just a decent touch! Is what she thought and is how she consoled herself.

Unknown to her she slowly started to enjoy the present moment... even though this fellow sexually harassed her! And even forced kissed her twice! But, surprisingly, just sitting beside and clasping hands with him somehow made her feel secure. Just like how her parents made her feel, but at the same time, it was different. And how this was different, the present Sarah couldn't discern.

Sarah suddenly remembered what she came here for, and couldn't help but reluctantly break the peaceful moment: "Ten days from now, Angels Tomb will open. Finn, Angus, and I are going to enter it.....

Sam already had made some conclusion before, and now Sarah confirmed it. From Sarah, he authenticated that she was indeed here for the Ariel sword which was in the Angels Tomb.

However, form her understanding of the Angels Tomb, Sam knew Sarah... oops! Not just Sarah, but the whole mortal plane didn't know how significant this Ariel Sword was to the Tomb.

Not only was this Sword the most peaked treasure in the Tomb, but it was also the sole reason for the Angels Tomb creation! And not to forget it also holds some serious background and ominous origin!

And now Sarah wanted Sam to join them in raiding this Tomb.

Sam frowned, things are not as simple as you think, Sarah. Ariel Sword has its own Sword Spirit, and this Spirit is a lofty being. Taken her present Cultivation-Level it would be impossible for her to subdue it...unless a miracle happens!

{miracle...hmmm.... since you asked my help, I'll make sure the miracle occurs!} Sam confidently thought.

Since from the start, from when Sam lost himself into deep thoughts, Sarah calmly waited for his reply. She didn't disturb him; She was sure, that he would accept her invitation.

However, as Sam was taking his sweet time to think, she began to doubt whether he would accept her invitation! And don't know why she started to feel a little bit nervous!

Nevertheless, soon she was relieved by Sam's reply

"Ok, I'll help...." (Sam Dazer)

Happiness bloomed within Sarah. But it was a short-lived once; within seconds it was washed away by Sam's continuation: "Of course at a certain price."

"what price?" Since this fellow was a sexual harassing bastard! And a tricky fellow! Sarah turned cautious. She didn't want to get ticked by him again!

"Oh! *sigh* why did you turn suddenly clever, wife? you should have just said, you would do anything, like before." (Sam)

{This shameless person! he really was up to something!} Sarah cursed inwardly. Nonetheless, soon she calmed herself and said: "Hmph!...don't try to tick me again! Just tell me the price. I am warning you if you try to trick me again I'll take your answer as 'NO' and walk away."

"I wasn't going to trick you; I was just going to ask you a 'Date'." like a good little boy, Sam innocently said.

"Date?" Sarah was confused. She didn't comprehend what Sam means.

When it comes to things like Romance, Sarah was just like a pure little girl who was oblivious of things. Even though she has many pursuers, but none of them ventured to ask her out on a date, because Sarah had always given an ice-cold shoulder to those who tried to court her!

"Sir wife... it's difficult to describe what a date truly means. But in short, it's a date when a Man and Woman spend a day together, assessing each other if they are suitable to each other not, eating together, and doing things together!" Sam described the date plainly because he was sure, if he had described it detailedly, Sarah would reject it for sure!

Sarah felt enlightened, but she had some doubts: "just this? Spending a day with you for your help, it's easy for me, and I would gain in a big way! are you sure, you just want this?"

"what! You can afford to spend a day time of yours to me! and its too easy for you!" Sam faked a surprise. He then showed a lewd expression for a second, then came back to his normal mood and grinned: "Ok, I will change the term....."

Before Sam could complete his saying, Sarah interrupted: "No need! A date is just fine! if you change the terms, I won't accept it!" Even though it was just for a second, Sarah noticed Sam's lewd expression, so she flurried.

Sam faked a dumb look. Seeing his dumb looks, Sarah felt her briskly sprung out was the correct decision she made! This fellow was really up to no good!

"*sigh* Ok. but verbal agreements are no good; you need to swear on your Dao!" Sam said depressingly.

Sarah nodded her head: "I swear on my Dao that if you, Sam Dazer, helped me in my raid then I Sarah will go out on a date with you!"

Swearing on Dao is not as simple its looks. The people who failed to hold up their swear always had only three results: one, they would develop an inner demon which would hinder their cultivation! Two, their thunder tribulation when entering a higher plane would be terrific! Three, they would enter demonic-pathway!

And all these were done by world laws, in other words, a Dao. Who told mortals to be audacious when swearing on Dao!

Subsequently, when Sarah completed her Swearing on Dao, Sam showed a genuine smile. Seeing his broad smile, Sarah felt, something was off! But don't know what it was, so she didn't think of it much.

****

Sarah left the place, and Sam did too. He raced towards Angels Tomb.

Passing through trees and lush-filled forest, without encountering beasts, which was thanks to his Concealment Arts, Sam soon reached the destination.

Standing at a close range, he observed the surroundings, but just the next second, he narrowed his eyes: "these many cultivators here... it seems the news about Angels Tomb appearance already promulgated."

"mana eye!" Sam activated his Eye Arts and soon saw through Concealment Arts of many cultivators present here. Then he found interesting things: "not only there were human cultivators here, but there were also beasts in human appearance mixed here."

"even emperor level cultivators are here... interesting."

The attraction of Angels Tomb was conspicuous. This Tomb attracted both Beasts and Humans, and even Emperors who shouldn't be here!

However, not all emperors were here to bodyguard their escort... some emperors were here with some ulterior motives like- Stealing the fortune from low-rank cultivators when they come out of Angels Tomb. These emperors could be declared still ok-ones.

But there were some emperors, who were here to enter the Angels Tomb! These emperors were really out of their mind or either they were very skilled ones!

"It seems I need to put some efforts," Sam spoke to himself and left the place.

No cultivator present here noticed Sam's appearance and disappearance.
