Chapter 2191

Roxie fixed her deep and unfathomable eyes on Baby Robbie, interrogating him somewhat angrily, "Why on earth do you want that harmful stuff?"

Baby Robbie embarrassedly rubbed the tip of his nose. From Roxie's gaze, she seemed to think that he was going to commit a crime.

Baby Robbie was unwilling to expose Baby Zetty's identity and vaguely said, "Come on. I just need it for something."

Roxie had always kept the military intelligence division's matters hush. If Baby Robbie could not tell her the reason, Roxie would naturally refuse to hand the formula to him. "I'll not hand such a thing to you. Give up, Robbie.

We've finally bid our farewells to the military intelligence division. How could you still think about those things from the past? It's not like you don't know how atrocious those things are."

Baby Robbie felt utterly helpless and ultimately took another approach. He started muttering in a panic," Sis Roxie, I'll tell you the truth. I've fallen in love with a girl, but I don't know what she thinks about me. I merely want to give her the medicine so I can ask her about her feelings for me."

Roxie's face turned pale.

She shot a sullen glance at the other sisters inside the cave and pulled Baby Robbie into somewhere more remote.

"Who are you in love with?" she asked Baby Robbie nervously.

Her intuition told her that the girl Baby Robbie fancied would undoubtedly be one of the military intelligence division sisters. After all, Baby Robbie was only around them all the time and he had no opportunity to get close to any other girls.

Baby Robbie acted coy and embarrassed on purpose, saying, "Oh man, nothing's even happening yet.

There's no way I can just tell you."

Roxie relentlessly pursued an answer. "Is it one of the military intelligence division sisters?"

Baby Robbie could only nod his head in response.

Roxie sighed, and she appeared to be in lower spirits.

"Alright. I'll help you out."

Baby Robbie was ecstatic and said, "Thank you, Roxie."

He hugged Roxie before leaving in high spirits.

Roxie looked at Baby Robbie's unruly and carefree pace, as well as his back view that was slowly getting farther and farther away from her field of vision. He finally disappeared. Roxie's tears abruptly started flowing out.

She felt terrified and frenetic. She never thought that there would be a day when Baby Robbie would leave her.

However, Baby Robbie's words and actions today made Roxie have an epiphany.

No one here would be able to make Baby Robbie stick around. Since he was all grown up now, he would find a girl he liked and start a family of his own.

Roxie turned around and walked away with tears on her face.

She came to the mountains and earnestly looked for the medicinal herbs for Baby Robbie. As she was doing this, a single thought was constantly repeating in her head. Her time with Baby Robbie was limited now, so she had to cherish every moment and do everything she could for him wholeheartedly.

However, Roxie was uncontrollably upset now and tears continued to stream down her face. She ultimately ended up with reddened eyes.

By the time she returned to the cave, the sisters noticed that Roxie's expression looked off. They wanted to ask her more about it, but Roxie showed them an indifferent look. She merely went to look for Baby Zetty while carrying the medicinal materials.

Baby Zetty was slightly startled when she saw Roxie.

"What's the matter, Miss Roxie?" Baby Zetty asked

with much concern.

Roxie placed the medicinal materials down and forced a smile as she said, "Granny, may I borrow your medicinal pestle?"

Baby Zetty nodded. "Go ahead."

Roxie said, "Thank you."

Baby Zetty looked on as Roxie placed the medicinal materials into the mortar and pounded vigorously as if the materials were her enemies. She was crushing them with ease.

Baby Zetty glanced at the medicinal materials, and she became suspicious upon seeing the formula.

These medicinal materials could cause psychedelic reactions in one's head. What was Sis Roxie planning to use this for?

Chapter 2192

Chapter 2192

"Who got on your nerve, Miss Roxie?" Baby Zetty could not help but ask.

Roxie's hand movements paused slightly, and she smiled bitterly at her while saying, "No one. I just feel a little stifled, that's all." Baby Zetty snatched the medicinal pestle and said, "If you have anything to say, don't hold back. Your body will suffer from it."

After all, she was the most typical example of this.

Roxie grabbed the medicinal pestle back but said nothing in response.

After crushing the medicinal materials into a powder, she quickly made them into pills. Baby Zetty secretly watched as the materials were made into three pills and kept that in mind.

After Roxie made the pills, she went looking for Baby Robbie and handed two of them to him, saying, "These are the pills you wanted. I just made them."

Baby Robbie was startled. "You're quick!"

Roxie's eyes were currently filled with bitterness, though she was still smiling.

He had no idea how much she cared about him.

A single command from his mouth would make her execute it as though it was an imperial decree.

However, Roxie did not want to bring any trouble or burden to Baby Robbie, so she merely kept the love she had for him in her heart.

Baby Robbie took the pills and said to Roxie, "Thanks, Sis Roxie."

"Yeah," Roxie answered faintly.

Baby Robbie took the pills and went looking for Baby Zetty.

He looked around with his hands behind his back as if he had nothing to do and started chatting about ordinary things with Baby Zetty.

"What are you up to, Granny Winter?"

Baby Zetty said, "Making some guiding drugs for Grayson and Andy."

Baby Robbie responded, "They seem to be doing better recently. Is the witch poison under control now?"

Baby Zetty nodded. "Mhmm."

Baby Robbie was bewildered. Since he had no idea that Winter was Baby Zetty before, he had zero doubts about her medical skills. Now that he knew Winter was his little sister and recalled how silly she used to be, it shocked him that the girl could detoxify witch poison after studying medicine for such a short time.

He started to truly admire Baby Zetty's ability.

"Granny Winter, your medical skills are awesome!" Baby Robbie exclaimed sincerely.

Baby Zetty smiled at him humbly and said, "Although witch poison is considered a dark art, it's still relatively common. Unlike those skills that have been forgotten about and make one utterly clueless." Baby Robbie perfunctorily responded while secretly glancing at Baby Zetty. He slid out the pills hidden in his sleeve.

When Baby Zetty was not paying attention to him, Baby Robbie threw the pills into her glass of water.

Then, he picked up the glass and walked over to Baby Zetty, pretending to be caring as he said, "You've been working hard, Winter. Have a sip of this." Baby Zetty took the glass from him. She had always been simple-minded, so she would not be suspicious of Baby Robbie having ulterior motives. However, after a few sips, she finally felt that something was amiss.

Baby Robbie used to be particularly indifferent toward her, yet he was suddenly so attentive. It seemed as if he was hiding malicious intentions...

Baby Zetty suddenly remembered the pills made by Roxie and came to the realization that the water had been spiked.

However, at this moment, Baby Zetty merely thought that Baby Robbie was using the drug to interrogate her about her identity. After all, they had always been skeptical of her origins.

She would never have thought that Baby Robbie was using this to set her up with Finn.

Baby Zetty placed the glass of water on the table and said with a sullen face, "If you want to know why Sir Ares is so kind to me, you could've just asked. What's the point of giving me this stuff?" Baby Robbie showed a smile.

This silly girl might have advanced medical skills now, but her IQ seemed to not have improved along with her talents.

As her big brother, he was getting quite worried about her simple-mindedness.

Baby Robbie was unwilling to expose his own plans, so he deliberately took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then tell me, why are my dad and brother being so kind to you?" "Because I'm..." Baby Zetty said this a few times but she continuously hesitated.

Chapter 2193

Chapter 2193

Baby Robbie said, "Forget it. I'll not make it hard for you if you're reluctant to tell me. I wish you the sweetest dream tonight, Granny."

Baby Robbie left with a smile after uttering these words.

Baby Zetty was a little confused. Baby Robbie had spared no effort to prepare those pills. Was it not to interrogate her as to why Daddy was kind to her? Why did he give up so easily?

Baby Zetty pondered over it and could not seem to figure out the answer. Later, she thought that perhaps it was due to Baby Robbie's kind nature that he did not want to force her to do things against her will. Hence, she proceeded to put her guard down.

After Finn had his dinner in the evening, he remembered Baby Robbie's instructions and hurried over to look for Baby Zetty.

It was just that there was a slight moment of hesitation before Finn entered. Ultimately, his kindness prevailed. He thought that there was no need to be afraid of gossip as he would not be doing anything wrong. Hence, he knocked on the door.

"Granny Winter."

Inside, Baby Zetty was dumbstruck to hear Finn's voice.

She blankly mumbled out, "Come in."

Finn entered and saw that Baby Zetty was sorting out the medicinal materials, looking extremely busy. He immediately smoothed out his knitted brows.

"You've been very busy these days, Granny. Let me help you out," said Finn while walking in.

Baby Zetty looked at the moonlight outside and then back at Finn, who was standing in front of her. She kept feeling that there was something peculiar with Finn's arrival, but when she opened her mouth, she said something that made her utterly gobsmacked.

"That's great. Then you should stay here for the night.

I need you here."

Baby Zetty covered her mouth, and it suddenly dawned on her how mysteriously effective the pills that Baby Robbie gave her were.

Finn was open and candid, as well as a man of noble character. Hence, he did not find anything inappropriate about her words.

He sat down in front of Baby Zetty and humbly observed her as she worked. Then, he began to provide his assistance.

It was just that the silence between the two was making the atmosphere stiflingly awkward. Finn had to find something to talk about. "When will our master's poison be completely cleared up, Granny?"

"Another five to six days."

"What about Grayson and Andy's witch poison?"

"I've made the medicines for their entire course of treatment. By the end of it, the two of them will be completely free of the poison's control over them."

"Thank you so much for this, Granny. You've worked very hard." Finn looked over at Baby Zetty and said with gratitude.

Baby Zetty was suddenly stirred up and said, "Finn, I don't like it when you call me 'Granny'."

Finn was startled but proceeded to smile before saying, "I understand. You want me to call you Winter, right? But due to your seniority and you being Sir Ares' savior, I should be addressing you as 'Granny'. It's only proper."

Baby Zetty said, "I don't like you calling me 'Granny'. It has nothing to do with Sir Ares, but it's because I like you. Do you understand?"

Finn stared at Baby Zetty in a daze. The expression on his face showed that he was deep in thought. Even so, he smiled unaffectedly and said, "Granny, it's an honor that you like me."

Baby Zetty could not suppress the emotional rush surging within and immediately grabbed Finn's hand while saying sternly, "Finn, I love you."

Finn was so startled that all of the medicinal materials in his hands fell to the ground as he stood up straight. His handsome face was turning pale.

"Granny, I deeply respect you as a person with good moral standing, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous in private. I regarded you as a friend despite our age difference, but you instead have the kind of idea that you shouldn't be having for me. How could you-"

Baby Zetty bravely walked toward him and grabbed his hands to place them on her face, asking, "If I were Baby Zetty, would you mind my age and appearance?"

Finn vigorously flung her hand off and said, "But you're not Baby Zetty, so there's no need for me to think about the answer to that question."

Chapter 2194

Chapter 2194

Baby Zetty's eyes were red, and helpless tears were escaping from them. "So you do care about my age and how ugly I am."

Finn looked at her in astonishment and felt that Granny Winter was simply unreasonable. He was getting slightly angry and said, "Granny, perhaps my actions have caused you to misunderstand. I'd like to sincerely say sorry to you because of it. I thought that given our age gap, you could act within the boundaries even if I were to treat you well. I was merely doing everything as an act of friendship."

Baby Zetty started weeping bitterly. She knew very well that she should not be saying these disgraceful words, but it was out of her control. She wanted to feel his love for her again before leaving this world. She knew that this was unfair to Finn. However, she was selfish and wanted him to accompany her, despite her being in the shell of an old grandmother, in the name of love. After Finn said these words, he hastily left.

Baby Zetty was unwilling to accept this. If she had not revealed her love for Finn and if they bid farewell as friends in the end, Baby Zetty would have been satisfied with that ending. However, what was there left for her now?

Finn would leave her side with a misunderstanding against her, feeling nothing but contempt for her. How could she be willing to accept such an ending?

Baby Zetty was anxious and flying into a rage out of humiliation. She decided to press her luck all of a sudden.

"Finn!" she roared out to him.

Finn hid at the entrance and did not turn around. He merely asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Baby Zetty hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to walk toward Finn.

"Finn, aren't you curious as to why I showed up in Sacred Land?"

Finn turned around and looked at her suspiciously.

Truthfully, he had always been curious about it. Granny Winter could barely walk. How did she manage to climb Sacred Land's rugged mountain road? Baby Zetty urgently questioned again, "Aren't you curious as to why I put myself in danger's way when I'm this old just to come to Sacred Land?

"Aren't you curious about who I buried next to the sunflower field that day?

"Aren't you curious who passed me these medical skills?"

Finn was curious to know the answers, but he was somewhat afraid that this overly sentimental old woman would misunderstand his intentions once more. He said coldly, "I don't concern myself with your matters."

Afterward, he set out to leave.

Baby Zetty fell to the ground, and she wept in anguish.

After Finn walked out, his heart was still filled with doubts.

What kind of mystery was there behind Baby Zetty's questions earlier?

Even from his pace and heavy steps, one could tell that he was feeling depressed.

At this moment, he could hear a sad yet graceful and subdued tune being played by Granny Winter behind him.

When Finn heard this familiar melody, he thought that Granny Winter was playing Meeting One Another. There were many similarities between Meeting One Another and Forgetting One Another, which he created.

However, after listening more, Finn's eyes were filled with astonishment.

This was not Meeting One Another that Granny had altered; it was his Forgetting One Another.

The part which baffled Finn most was that there were several complicated notes that Granny Winter failed to hit, and those were the same notes that Baby Zetty could not seem to get past no matter how much she tried back then.

When Granny Winter rearranged Meeting One Another, few of the notes in that specific part of the song had deliberately been changed. Hence, he did not seem to notice the problem earlier. Finn's footsteps stopped.

At that moment, all of the answers to those questions came to him.

Granny Winter seemed to be suffering from an illness that accelerated her aging process. She was still physically strong when she went up the mountain, but after spending some time here, that was when she lost the ability to trek the mountain road.

As for the person she had buried beside the sunflower field, it was her grandmother, Mr. Boye.

Chapter 2195

Chapter 2195

The moment Finn realized the answers to these questions, he wanted to give himself a massive slap in the face. How could he have been so stupid? How could he have hurt Baby Zetty again? He abruptly turned around and dashed toward Baby Zetty once more.

At this moment, Baby Zetty was sitting on the ground dejectedly. Her gray hair appeared as white as snow now, and she had aged rapidly in a split second.

Baby Zetty sat there while tears quietly streamed down her face.

She was utterly helpless and had given up all hope.

Seeing Baby Zetty rapidly aging before his eyes, Finn felt a strong sense of self-abasing in his heart. He staggered toward her and slowly squatted down.

Then, he tenderly hugged Baby Zetty into his arms.

Baby Zetty looked up, and when she saw Finn, she pushed him away in resistance.

However, Finn was holding onto her too tightly, so tightly that she simply could not escape his embrace.

Baby Zetty could only weep out sorrowfully.

Finn murmured, "I missed an opportunity with you

once, but I won't miss it again in my lifetime. I used to feel inferior and despised myself for being older. I feared that you'd despise me when you grew up. Now, the heavens are telling me that if you truly love the other person, you wouldn't come to dislike them due to their old age. You'll continue to love them dearly.

"Zetty, give me another chance. Let me stay by your side, okay?"

Baby Zetty desperately shook her head. "I'm not her. You got it all wrong."

Finn said, "I know that you're my Baby Zetty. Don't be upset, Zetty. We'll find a way to cure your disease."

Baby Zetty knew how old she was getting by now. She even started having the desire to die. She refused to expose her weakest moment to the people she cared about the most. There was only one thought in mind, and that was to continuously deny her identity.

Hence, she said, "I told you that I'm not your Baby Zetty."

Finn gently let go of her. When he saw Baby Zetty's eyes, even though they had aged, they were still beautiful. The black of her pupils and the white of her sclera were distinctly separate, still as bright as gems Her pupils were as dark as black ink, while the white parts were pure as spring. They were the same eyes that were in Finn's memory.

Finn could no longer care about those myriad taboos and suddenly leaned over to kiss her.

Baby Zetty's eyes widened in shock...

At that moment, it was as if her entire body had turned into a puppet-she was unable to move a single muscle.

After a short while, she recovered her senses and pricked Finn with one of her silver needles.

She chose to run away all alone on a stormy night.

Due to her exhaustion, she took some medications that allowed her to run faster.

The next day.

When Baby Robbie came to look for Baby Zetty early in the morning, he only saw Finn lying on the ground. Baby Zetty had disappeared.

Baby Robbie woke Finn up, and Finn proceeded to pat his dizzy head. When he remembered the things that had happened last night, Finn abruptly crawled back up and asked Baby Robbie in a stirred up manner," Where's Winter?"

Baby Robbie shrugged and said, "She ran off."

Finn grudgingly glanced at Baby Robbie and asked," What on earth did you do to her yesterday?"

Baby Robbie said, "I think I'm supposed to ask you that question."

Finn said bitterly, "She started confessing her love to me and I rejected her. Then, she began aging rapidly. Her whole head of hair turned as white as snow."

Baby Robbie said, "Why are you so foolish? If she was aging rapidly, didn't you start to question her identity?"

Finn said, "Well, if I still haven't guessed her identity a t this point, you may as well call me mentally deficient. But I already guessed it last night and Baby Zetty became hostile. She wouldn't admit that she's Baby Zetty and even used her silver needle to make me lose consciousness."

Baby Robbie suddenly felt that his good intentions had brought about dire consequences for them.

Chapter 2196

Chapter 2196

Jenson suddenly walked over and glared at Baby Robbie coldly. He sarcastically reprimanded him," What a fine job you did."

Baby Robbie felt wronged by this and said, "I was merely hoping that my sister and Brother Finn could end up together. Since they like each other, they'll come to regret it for the rest of their lives if they miss the opportunity to confess their feelings for each other."

Jenson wanted to continue criticizing Baby Robbie, but Finn stopped him all of a sudden and said, "Stop blaming Robbie, Jens. He's not wrong. I'm very grateful to him that he gave me the chance to find out that Winter was Zetty all along. I know that Baby Zetty can't accept me right now, but it doesn't matter. I'll find a way for her to accept me again."

After Finn said this, he bid farewell to Jenson and Baby Robbie, saying, "I'll go out and look for Baby Zetty. I'll bring her back safe and sound."

Jens and Baby Robbie nodded. "Alright."

Finn thought that since Baby Zetty was old and had limited mobility, she could not have gone far. As long as he sped up, he thought that he would soon be able to catch up to Baby Zetty.

However, even after walking for quite some time, he failed to locate her on the road and abruptly felt uneasy.

"Baby Zetty!" he started yelling out loud.

Meanwhile, when Sir Ares learned that Baby Zetty had left the cave, he quickly and anxiously sat up. Then, he began discussing with Cole. "Cole, now that Grayson and Andy's poison is under control, I think you should consider heading back to Imperial Capital."

Sacred Land was a dangerous place, and Jay merely wanted to have most of them go back to Imperial

Capital where it was safe. Only then could he stay put without further worries to look for Baby Zetty.

Cole began teasing Jay, "Don't you miss Angelina and Angel?"

Jay nodded. Of course, he missed his wife and daughter very much. "I miss Angelina, and I miss Angel as well. But I still have some unfinished business here."

"What business?" Cole asked curiously.

Jay told him the truth, "I'm going to look for Baby Zetty."

Cole said, "Then I'll keep you company."

Jay asked him in return, "Don't you want to head back to Shirley and Dawn?"

Cole was used to traveling around. He was wholly unfettered and did not have a care in the world.

However, he would occasionally be in a daze nowadays and miss his son back in Imperial Capital.

As for Sis Shirley, his feelings toward her were bizarre. He was not that passionate about her, yet he hoped that she was living her days well.

At this time, Zayne dashed in and started to cry out in excitement when he heard that they were returning to Imperial Capital. "We've been out here for so long. We're finally going home!"

After a short cry, he began to be in disbelief that Jay and the others would leave Sacred Land just like this. Zayne started probing, "But we haven't found Grandma Boye. Can we go home empty-handed?" Cole rolled his eyes at him. "What's the purpose of us coming to Sacred Land?"

"To look for Boye," said Zayne.

"And why were we looking for Boye?"

Zayne replied, "So that we can save Grayson and Andy."

Cole nodded and continued, "Now that Grayson and Andy are getting better, that means all of you can go home now."

Zayne kept feeling like there was something off with this logic, but it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.

He ultimately accepted this outcome happily and rejoiced. "Okay! Let's go home."

Then, he realized something else and glared at Cole and Jay. "What do you mean by that? Are the two of you not going back? Are you conning me into going home alone?" Cole said, "We're staying behind to look for Baby Zetty."

In the spirit of loyalty, Zayne said, "Then I have to stay behind and look for my precious niece too." Cole scoffed at him disdainfully. "You being here will only cause your niece to huff away in anger." "How would I make her angry?" Zayne felt that he was being wrongly accused of something. 1

Chapter 2197

Chapter 2197

Cole said, "With that head of yours, you may not recognize your niece even if she's standing in front of you."

Zayne felt that he had been severely humiliated for his IQ. He bluntly scoffed back, saying, "That's my precious niece you're talking about. I can recognize her even if she has turned to ashes." Feeling that his words would bring about a bad omen, Zayne patted his mouth after saying it. He reprimanded himself, "What's with this mouth of yours?"

Hence, Jay decided to spare him.

Cole looked over at Jay and said, "Why don't you tell this muddle-headed idiot the truth? Otherwise, when he returns to Imperial Capital, he'll only add more unnecessary details to the story to twist the relationship between you and Winter. At that time, if Angeline hears his one-sided story, she'll be somewhat uncomfortable with it."

Jay nodded.

Zayne was dumbfounded as he listened to these two in front of him. Feeling utterly displeased, he muttered, "What truth? Why do all of you know something I don't?"

Cole bluntly insulted Zayne, saying, "Because you're stupid."

Zane asked curiously, "What are all of you hiding from me?"

Only then did Cole tell him the truth, "Haven't you been extremely curious as to why Sir Ares is so good to Granny Winter?"

Zayne still felt annoyed when this incident was mentioned. He stared at Jay in dissatisfaction and said, "I just find it strange, that's all. You're usually a cold, pure-hearted person with no desire. Yet you were overly considerate of Granny Winter."

Jay stared at him speechlessly and started demonstrating his eloquent, sharp tongue, "Your IQ is no different from a child's."

"You're still insulting me..." Zane was fuming.

At this moment, Cole immediately exposed the truth." It's because Granny Winter is Sir Ares' little darling."

Zayne's face twitched violently. "His little darling?"

Cole paused for a short while before saying, "She's Baby Zetty."

Zayne's eyes were almost protruding out of his sockets.

"What did you say? Winter is Zetty? How is that possible?" Zayne shook his head like a rattle.

"They don't even look alike." Zayne thought that Sir Ares and Cole were in cahoots, trying to mess with him.

Jay said, "In order to avoid being chased by others, Zetty did a terrible body disguise skill on herself. This secret technique has made her age very quickly."

Zayne's shaking head abruptly froze.

At this moment, he had an epiphany. Sir Ares, Jenson, Baby Robbie, and Finn were all kind to Winter because they had recognized Baby Zetty.

As her uncle, not only had he failed to recognize her, but he even deliberately made things difficult for the sickly child over and over again. Zayne was extremely ashamed at the moment.

He quietly asked Sir Ares, "Am I the last person to become aware of Baby Zetty's identity?"

Cole shrugged his shoulders before nodding and saying, "If I hadn't told you about it, with that IQ of yours, you would've been the last person to know the truth."

Zayne resentfully rolled his eyes at Cole. "Are you insulting me?"

Then, Zayne started writing himself off as utterly hopeless instead. He said, "All of you know very well how stupid I am. I'll definitely not be able to get out of Sacred Land on my own. No can do, I'm staying put. And I'm going to look for our Baby Zetty with you. I

still have to apologize to her personally."

Jay said, "Let's talk about your apology next time. All you can do now is treat her as Winter and don't put any pressure on her. I don't think Baby Zetty will be able to admit her true identity to us for the time being."

Zayne cooperated obediently this time. "Okay."

After Baby Zetty left the cave, she managed to quickly run more than a mile in one go due to the effects of the medicine.

When Finn managed to chase after Baby Zetty, she hid in the shrub next to her. Hearing him calling out to her earnestly, Baby Zetty's heart was overwhelmed with a pang of intense sadness.

Chapter 2198

Chapter 2198

Once Finn walked farther away, Baby Zetty turned into another fork road and parted ways with Finn.

She arrived at a stream and sat on top of a stone. She had not been able to find some free time to figure out her state of mind.

The things that had happened last night were all too sudden. Under the drug's effects, she actually confessed to Finn while she was still in her old shell. She had evidently frightened Finn.

However, the intelligent Finn ultimately recognized her and fortunately, he did not dislike her because of it. On the contrary, Brother Finn was still willing to accept her. His feelings for her were so passionate that Baby Zetty found it hard to resist. Moreover, his feelings were so deep that he even kissed her...

She was so ugly and old now. How on earth could he kiss her when she was like this?

When she thought about the kiss that was filled with emotions, Baby Zetty's face became scalding hot. Her tender heart began to twitch, and since she was a shy girl, she could feel her whole body blazing. She shyly covered her face while secretly fantasizing.' How nice would it be if I hadn't gotten sick? I could be

happy with my beloved man forever.'

Baby Zetty sat for a while. When she stood back up and was about to continue her trek, she inadvertently saw herself in the stream and discovered that her hair had unexpectedly turned black.

Baby Zetty was flabbergasted by this. After she was rejected by Finn last night, she was heartbroken and all of her gray hair instantly turned as white as snow.

When did her hair start turning black? Was this not indicating that she was getting younger?

With her keen insight, Baby Zetty analyzed the reason for her sudden youth. Could it be that it was due to Finn's kiss yesterday?

She might have resisted in her heart, but she was still secretly ecstatic over it.

Was the key to controlling Bodily Disguise related to great joy and extreme sadness?

Did she rapidly become so old due to extreme sadness?

Hence, she became younger from being overjoyed?

After coming up with this theory, Baby Zetty was ecstatic.

Now, all she had to do was develop hormones that could control her emotions to make her body younger.

Baby Zetty happily went up the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. Perhaps because she was in a particularly good mood, she started strutting.

Behind her, a pair of tender eyes were glued to her back. Seeing her stooped figure yet how she still insisted on doing the movements she liked as a child, the corners of Finn's lips curled up gently. Then, he followed Baby Zetty along the way.

Baby Zetty would occasionally talk to herself along the way. "Since I tricked Brother Finn, would he be wandering farther and farther away since he can't find me?"

Finn found this amusing. 'Did you think I'd blindly run after you without a thought, silly old woman?'

Earlier when he ran a little farther up and did not manage to find Baby Zetty, he wisely turned around.

Baby Zetty was a little worried about Finn now. "Will Brother Finn run into some bad guys? Should I turn around and check on him?"

Finn shook his head. 'This silly girl is still so kind and considerate toward others.'

After Baby Zetty collected all of the medicinal materials, she began chewing them in her mouth to give them a taste. She said, "So the slightly sour and sweet taste mentioned in the book is this?" When it got darker out, Baby Zetty went looking for a tree and sat under it to take a nap.

Finn felt utterly distressed and took his outer coat off t o gently place it on her.

Finn retrieved the coat just before Baby Zetty woke up in the morning so that she did not discover him.

After Sir Ares learned that Finn was guarding Baby Zetty, he ordered him, "Find a way to bring Baby Zetty back to Imperial Capital."

As for the rest of them, they would be waiting for the two at Sacred Land's exit.

Zayne was flabbergasted at this and asked Jay," Haven't you been going on and on about your little darling each day? Why aren't you looking for her and just waiting for her?"

Chapter 2199

Chapter 2199

Jay said, "I'm not that worried since Finn is protecting Baby Zetty."

Zayne smiled and said, "So you're ready to make Finn your son-in-law?"

Jay rolled his eyes at him. "Are you afraid of the world coming to an end?"

Zayne pressed his lips together and said, "I don't understand. The two were doing so well before and stuck by each other every single day. You just had to separate them. Now, under these circumstances, our Baby Zetty is no longer worthy of Finn. You have to settle for the next best thing and allow Finn to pursue Baby Zetty instead."

Jay gloomily replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't allow it before because Baby Zetty was too young. Even if I agree now, it's to fulfill Baby Zetty's wishes."

Zayne said, "It's all because of your selfishness anyway. You're just hell-bent on thinking about your daughter."

This time, Cole was on Jay's side and said to Zayne," Don't make it sound so unpleasant. If you had a daughter, would you be willing to allow her to date

when she's so young?"

Zayne retorted, "As long as the other party has great qualifications, it's fine."

Then, he glanced at Jay and continued, "Just like my sister. Didn't she get chosen by a certain pig from the Ares family when she was ten?"

Jay said in a pique, "Zayne Severe, if I could turn back time, I would've stopped Angeline from pursuing such an immature love. Angeline has suffered so much because of this immature relationship." Zayne started to pester endlessly, "What do you mean by that? Do you regret marrying my sister now? You have no conscience, Jay Ares! Don't you know how much my sister has sacrificed for you?" Jay was speechless. "We're on completely different wavelengths."

Cole chuckled and said, "Well, your IQs aren't on the same level to begin with."

The group of people continued to walk toward the exit of Sacred Land.

The group did not expect that when they were leaving Sacred Land, there was still an earth-shattering catastrophe awaiting them.

When Jay laid his eyes upon Nephele, he knew that this would be the most difficult battle.

Nephele was standing at the only exit and entrance to Sacred Land. There were plenty of fighters behind her.

Jay could recognize a few of them as they had chased after him a couple of days ago. Jay had not seen the others before, but they all had formidable auras. At first glance, he knew that the people here were not to be trifled with.

"Sir Ares, did you think Sacred Land is a place where you can come and go as you like?" Nephele said with a n evil grin.

From her sinister smile, Jay realized that their entire trip to Sacred Land this time seemed to have been part of Nephele's plan.

Cole cried out secretly, "It seems like we've been set up. We've fallen into her trap."

"What do we do now?" Zayne asked in a panic.

Jenson and Baby Robbie bravely stepped forward. "Daddy, let us test their strength."

Jay said, "The Poison Doctor herself is here. How can I allow you two to be so presumptuous?" Nephele laughed loudly. "As expected of you, Sir Ares. You seem to have a clear view of things." Jay said, "What's with the crowd, Nephele? What's your intention?"

Nephele said, "I know that Boye's descendant is among you. If you hand her over, I'll let you go."

Jay said, "I'm sorry. There's no such person here."

Nephele retorted, "Don't lie to me. The witch poison in

Grayson and Andy has been cured. Who'd believe you even if you deny having Boye's descendant among your people?"

"Then who is this descendant of Boye's?" Zayne began to act. "Why haven't I heard of this person before?"

Nephele sneered and said, "So you're choosing to act dumb with me?"

Zayne continued to be confused while replying, "Then tell us, who among us here is Boye's descendant? If you pinpoint us to them, we'll let you have them. How about it?"

Chapter 2200

Nephele's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces. She honestly had no idea who was Boye's apprentice, but she knew for certain that Boye's descendant was by Sir Ares' side.

It was because she had poisoned them several times, including the witch poison in Grayson and Andy's bodies. Yet, they were able to resolve it on their own. Hence, Nephele knew that there was a star healer quietly rising among them.

As the head disciple of Poison Doctors, she could never allow her opponent to resurrect once more.

"It doesn't matter if you refuse to tell me. I've put poison in the flowers and plants along the road. When you made your way here, you must've already been poisoned heavily. Before long, the poison inside of you will start flaring up," said Nephele as she smiled viciously.

"I just don't believe that they'll look on helplessly without showing themselves as all of you die."

Nephele was forcing Baby Zetty to show herself, but she was not aware that Baby Zetty was not with them at all. No matter how hard she tried to threaten and lure Baby Zetty, she would not be able to come forth.

Moreover, everyone here was unyielding, so they would never betray Baby Zetty.

Sir Ares and Cole glanced at each other. The two had a tacit understanding that they had to rapidly subdue the other party before the poison inside them started flaring up.

Cole spat out, "Shut it with all the nonsense. Just die." As soon as he said this, Cole flew up and threw out all of the weapons he had hidden.

However, this great effort caused a violent surge of pain in his chest, making him spit out a mouthful of blood before falling straight to the ground. "Cole!" Jay ran over and carried him on his shoulder, bringing him back to their side.

At this moment, Jay knew that they should not be moving about with the poison in their bodies.

Otherwise, it would accelerate the poison's effects on them.

However, Sir Ares did not want to sit idly by and resign to their fate. He said to Jenson, "I'll stay and hold them back. You take the others and leave."

Baby Robbie stepped forward while smiling mischievously. He said to Jay, "You stand back, Daddy. I'll deal with them."

Only then did Jay remember how unique Baby Robbie's body was. He was immune to all sorts of poisons. Even when he had first come to them at the cave, he was the only one not poisoned while all the othe sisters were.

Jay was still worried about his son and asked uneasily, "Can you handle this, Robbie?"

Baby Robbie gave him an 'okay' gesture and said, "All of you withdraw for now, Daddy. Or you might die here."

Judging from the overall situation, Jay decided to set off and said, "Then you have to be careful. Don't stick around when things get messy."

"Got it."

The sisters were not at ease leaving Baby Robbie on his own. Hence, Roxie said, "I'll stay with you, Robbie."

Baby Robbie said, "You've been poisoned. If you stay here, you'll only become a burden to me."

Roxie looked somewhat upset, but she still sensibly left with the others.

Nephele shot a cautious glance at Baby Robbie and said, "This kid has bizarre powers. All of you, be careful."

Baby Robbie deliberately pretended to be poisoned and walked over while staggering. He said, "There are so many of you here. It won't be a glorious win if you do it by beating up someone who has already been poisoned. Fight me one on one if you have the guts."

Nephele cunningly said, "Don't listen to him. Quick, go and capture the rest of them."

As soon as she said this, the minions behind her swarmed over akin to bees. Baby Robbie stood still. From his posture alone, he looked like he could hold back the enemy's forces all on his own, guarding the somewhat narrow mountain road behind him.

Jay brought all of his poisoned daughters and the others to leave at a rapid speed.

Nephele looked at their backs with a sinister sneer." Sir Ares, don't you know that if you take the same path back, you'll be poisoned even more? Even Hades won't be able to save you by then."

Baby Robbie fiercely scoffed. "Then I'll make sure you'll be buried with them."

Immediately after, Baby Robbie leaped and did a difficult spin kick, throwing two to three people to the ground.

He was one who could quickly dispose of his enemies as soon as he made a move.
