72 Chapter 72

"I am your friend, Quickstep." Vera hesitantly replied towards the bald immortal's question when Quickstep focused his gaze unto her. She was hoping to avoid what her sister wife, Juliana, had went through. At first, she wanted to deny the friendship of this naked immortal before her but its result was unpredictable at best.

She was not a fool and so she opted to accept what fate has given her. Her eyes closed after she uttered her answer and waited for the likely assault from the bald immortal.

"I see. That's sad. But I will not rest until you can also be my real friend, Vera. That will happen someday. I know it." these were the words that Vera heard afterwards. She opened her lovely eyes and saw that the bald immortal hadn't taken one step towards her.

"Thank you, Quickstep. I believe that would happen someday. Hehehe!" Vera said as the relief she felt was clearly obvious on her face. She gave the bald immortal a smile for the ages. Deep within, she thanked the gods and goddesses for showing a little kindness on her tonight.

At least, she evaded this tribulation and came out on top and smiling. The same could not be said to the woman beside her. And so that laugh at the end of her reply was meant for that fact. Vera was delighted about her rival's misfortune. She could only imagine how that limp snake felt.

"Same for me, Quickstep. If it is destined to be, then we would be real friends someday." Savana seconded the motion of Vera. She learned from her and copied her actions aptly. Barring any change from the bald immortal's previous reactions, she would get through this untouched and without any scathe of trauma whatsoever.

"A pity." Quickstep muttered softly. His head was down in disappointment.

"Excuse me, Sir Quickstep. Can I be your real friend?" a timid but sweet voice reached the ears of the bald immortal. Quickstep looked towards the source of the sound and found a sexy girl at the end of his search.

It was the masked one. She was a shy girl even if her figure resembled that of a nubile woman. It could match and even surpass the bodies of all female present here tonight.

"Hahaha! Sure! Everyone is welcome to be my real friend, Althea!" Quickstep replied to the call of the masked girl. In his elation, he quickly arrived before the girl and gave her the sign of friendship. Her body felt soft to his touch after her silky white skin was uncovered by the abrupt embrace of the bald immortal.

The upper garment of her elegant dress rose up as a pair of attractive legs was exposed. The soldiers behind gulped in lust but promptly disengaged their inappropriate stares from the girl's body.

If this was anyone else's, even one of the big three wives of the city ruler, they would brave the scourge just to take a glimpse of their heavenly magnificence.

But this was Althea, The Chosen One. They would be courting death if they did such impropriety.
