Life After Prison

Chapter 2001
When Severin entered Pearl Light Isle, he observed Emery’s movements with his divine senses and sa Emery following him in
with the token in hand. His previous wariness of Emery’s master, Daniella, had reduced slightly because Emery had entered out
of her volution. The distinction between coercion and voluntary action were two different things, and it was not the place of any
outsider to comment on that.
After withdrawing his divine senses, Severin smiled to himself and thought, ‘Hmm... Emery is going to be very useful in helping
to craft sixth–grade low rank and medium–rank pills. That’ll help me to focus on making a breakthrough to seventh grade
alchemist”
Severin was motivated by the prospect. Though his elevated status as the sixth core disciple sparked many an envious glance
from the ordinary disciples, he knew all too well that his responsibilities continued to grow. His days were spent either training,
polishing his combat techniques, or creating pills to secure a much anticipated breakthrough to seventh–grade alchemist. In the
past, he had some spare time after seclusion to help craft pills for Diane and the others.
However, he had another responsibility to shoulder after agreeing to Myles‘ request. Aside from training and making a
breakthrough to a seventh grade alchemist so he could prepare for floors eight and nine of the Alcherry Tower, he also had to
find heptagold energy for the Sky–Soil Heptagold Sword Energy technique in addition to tutoring the Seventh Mountain’s
disciples:
Severin could already feel a headache coming on with all those tasks. Emery’s arrival offered a timely solution whereby he could
delegate some responsibilities to her and leverage her past status at the Sixth Mountain. Once Emery took charge of refining
sixth–grade pills, Severin could focus on becoming a seventh–grade alchemist.
Meanwhile, Emery remained oblivious to Severin’s plan to make her his free labor. As she followed the formation into the island,
the ethereal mist and rich spiritual energy all around created an almost dream- like atmosphere. The energy from all around her
seemed to flow into her body with every breath that she took.
She was a little shaken with awe as she looked at the spiritually–dense air, the lush trees, and the abundance of herbs growing
like weeds by the pathway. “I can’t believe my eyes. Do all the core disciples get this sort of island to live in? The energy here is
so much denser than back at the sixth mountain!”

As Emery calmed herself down and followed Severin into the courtyard garden, she had to do a double take at Diane and his
other wives. Their beauty was on par with that of Celeste’s, and she could not help but feel inferior to them despite being dubbed
the second most beautiful woman from the Sixth Mountain. “I don’t think anyone can be as beautiful as they are...”
Diane, Gilda, Sofia, and Sheila were so exquisitely beautiful in every aspect, and even Celeste would start
As Severin led her to the courtyard garden, his wives noticed Emery’s presence. They knew her as the woman who challenged
Severin to a contest at the Alchemy Tower, and they had been cheering for
Severin to defeat her too. Her fall from grace and maid–like uniform raised questions. Diane, in particular, blinked at Severin and
asked, “Why is she dressed like that?”
