Chapter 156: Going To A-Block
"So, are you going to tell me what your Rank is?" Azmodeus voiced his question upon seeing that they had laid off the consumption of the store\'s stock.
This question ultimately led to the Crimson Witch coming out of her reverie as she regained her bearings.
After which, she cleared her throat and responded, "I am of the Diamond Rank and am also one of the school\'s Special Exam\'s Teachers."
"You\'re a teacher?" Azmodeus inquired with a raised brow.
He never would\'ve assumed she was the teacher-type due to her icy disposition, which was why he looked so doubtful.
Chi Wu gazed from a side view of the crimson-colored eyes of this audacious man as she asked, "Do I not like a teacher to you?"
"???"
Azmodeus didn\'t know if she was mad or confused due to her apathetic tone, but he still replied, "Yes, you don\'t seem like the type."
"..."
"..."
They both stared into each other\'s eyes for a brief moment before Chi Wu interrupted the silence by saying, "That makes sense…"
"Yes, it does."
"Do you want to see?"
"See what…?"
Azmodeus didn\'t quite know what she was getting at, but his mind seemed to veer in the direction of those two milky white mountain peaks staring him down like they wanted to gobble him up.
However, before such a ridiculous thought solidified itself inside his mind, Chi Wu said, "Do you want to see what a potion I refined looks like?"
"Oh… Sure…"
The Crimson Devil Lord discarded his useless thoughts as he followed the actions of the Crimson Witch, who had already gotten up off her seat and walked toward the shop door.
He had to essentially pry Pan Nu\'s hands away from the shop\'s door frame, but she eventually caved in under his persuasion, as he promised her that he\'d go to all the chocolate stores later that day.
After the coercion of the simpleminded yet intelligent girl, Azmodeus put her on his shoulders as he followed behind Chi Wu, heading along in whichever direction she was taking them.
...
A few minutes later, at the edge of a curved sidewalk, a tall red-eyed man, along with an adorable girl and a 5\'6 blonde-haired beauty in a witch getup, found themselves looking up at a large, lavishly decorated castle.
It was a building that seemed extremely out of place when put in the middle of the bustling streets.
"Is this A-Block…?" Azmodeus inquired with a mildly amazed voice.
"No, these are my private quarters, and there are a few just like this one if you look around the vicinity, as this entire city within the Emonius Triade is termed A-Block."
Chi Wu\'s response was followed by her walking up to the two large metal gates with the initials C and W on the front. After which, she pushed them open and strolled into a lush, verdant green garden that quite literally had exotic birds roaming around. These birds did as they pleased in the area surrounding a massive, elaborately carved fountain of a peacock.
"The rich truly do live differently than the poor…"
Azmodeus\'s dispiritedly murmured while following behind the woman who lived like a queen inside a castle that was bigger than all of F-Block combined.
The energy makeup of this place likely exceeds that of the entire single-layered Infinity Construct called Prometheus…
Even though he himself had a Life Treasure with the same level of ambience, just the energy contained within this castle far surpassed what he could ever hope to acquire for his Fallen Immortal Mountain in the short term.
This was mainly because the castle itself was over a mile long, and it resided within a dimension of far higher existence value. To be more specific, it was all because of the Astral Plane being a Second Layered Plane of Infinity.
In spite of this fact, Azmodeus leisurely strolled behind the expressionless witch as he looked at anything that he found interesting.
And as he was doing this, he decided to ask, "To be a Potion Master, one must have a certain level of energy in order to concoct potions. But from what I\'ve seen, no one here has even the smallest modicum of energy or Qi contained within their bodies. So how is it that there are so many Potion Master\'s…?"
This question made Chi Wu stop in her tracks as she turned behind her and said, "You think there are a lot of Potion Master\'s? Oh… Because of all those people who came to mock us…"
She started to whisper to herself again as she paused her ramblings for a moment. After which, she said, "Azmodeus, the truth is that the Potion Master Profession is a dying one... and the reason for this lies in the exact point that you mentioned."
"A lack of high-quality energy…?"
"Yes, and from what I can discern, you\'re from outside the Astral Plane, likely originating from an area with abundant levels of energy."
Chi Wu followed up those words by knocking on the tall, jewelry-encased doors of her home, seemingly waiting for something to happen.
*Pitter Patter*
And it didn\'t take very long before rushed footsteps resounded from inside the castle interior.
Not even half an instant later, a woman in a loose, frilly maid dress opened up the castle doors before shouting, "Welcome home, my lady! I have already prepared a batch of tea and muffins for your return!"
The maid had long black hair with light golden eyes and a curvaceous body that could never hope to be concealed beneath her dress.
However, it wasn\'t her appearance that the Crimson Witch was focused on, as drool nearly dripped down her mouth while she mumbled, "You said muffins…? The usual?"
The golden eyes of the maid brightened up as she replied, "Yes, my Lady! It\'s just the way you like them! Although... I only made enough for you, and it seems like we have visitors…"
She turned her effervescent gaze away from her master and scanned the appearances of the two guests that her lady brought home with her.
Her original intent was to scrutinize them, making sure that her master hadn\'t been deceived by any unsavory characters. However, after viewing the unparalleled appearance of a man akin to a seductive devil, her smile morphed into a mischievous smirk as she put her dainty hands up to her mouth before giggling.
"It looks like my lady has finally found herself someone to warm her bed-"
*Whack!*
"Owchies!" The maid yelped while holding the top of her head. "You didn\'t have to hit me so hard, My Lady! I was just kidding!"
"...Just go and get the appetizers prepared, Lan Yu. You will do that while I bring Azmodeus up to my room to show him a few things."
"Ho~? A few \'things\' in your private bedchambers, how naughty~-"
*Whack!*
"Just go and get it done," Chi Wu commanded while pulling back her fist.
"Oww… Ye-Yes, my lady…"
The maid whimpered and scampered away while holding onto the big red bump on her head.
