Suddenly, he heard Jadeâs mad laughter from outside, as if she had gone completely insane, cackling
with all her might.
Rowan jumped, knowing that this Jade wasnât the Jade he knew on Earth, but instead the princess of
the Titan tribe. They merely shared the same name. However, the Undead Queen was trying to take
over her body, so he couldnât possibly let Juvia get her way.

Rowan immediately rushed out of his chest, taking complete control of his body again.

Right then, he saw that it was, in fact, Jade laughing out loud, grabbing Phoenix by the neck and lifting
her up into the air. The womanâs life was definitely in danger.
Juvia put up a cruel expression. âPhoenix, was it? Now that youâre in my hands, no one would be able
to save you, you know? Your parents hadnât shown up in three thousand years. Do you really think
theyâd come back to you? That wishful thinking!â
âOh, and your man Rowan⦠His body had already become my fatherâs substitute! Haha, your little
Diffracted universe will still end up in the Pierce familyâs hands!â
Rowan
Alex
âStop!â Rowan called out from behind her.
Rowan
Alex
âHuh?â Juvia turned around and looked at Richard, asking, âAre you Rowan now or Father?â
Richard,
Alex,
Rowan
Alex
Rowan replied. âOf course, Iâm your father. This little bratâs cultivation had been sealed off, so how
could he possibly fight back? This body is quite good. Itâs giving me another chance to feel youngâ¦
Oh, and let her go, for now, this woman is still useful to us.â
Rowan
Alex
Juvia didnât doubt him for a second and let Phoenix go immediately. The woman ended up falling
harshly to the ground, unable to get back up to her feet.
âFather, why are you keeping her alive?â
This question made Rowan tongue-tied for a few seconds before answering the question.
Rowan
Alex
âThis place needs a living sacrifice to open the gates. Elsewise, we wouldnât be able to leave later.â
Rowan wasnât exactly trying to trick her. In fact, he said it in a very natural way.
Rowan
Alex
For some reason, the evil Bodhi left something inside after being killed off by the Phanes Ax, like his
memories. Hence, Rowan was able to receive shocking information from these bits and pieces of
memories.
Rowan
Alex
âA living sacrifice, huh? That could be a great torture method too!â Juvia chuckled to herself.
After that, she asked, âFather, Iâd like to know why youâd show up here. Everyone thought you died
after you went missing. Do you know how many things have gone down in the Pierce family? Our
family used to have twenty thousand people, but now Iâm the only one left.â
Rowan wasnât quite interested in all this. He was merely here to observe Juvia and think of a way to
chase her out of Jadeâs body. He could still feel Jadeâs soul in there since the both of them had bound
their lives together.
Rowan
Alex
âOur family was huge, but Father, you went missing at a crucial moment. Auntie went with you that day,
and she also ended up missing. Someone found her bra on the ground once, so everyone accused you
of raping her, then eloping with her!â
âThird Uncle took his anger out on our family, bullying us within the tribe. He even beat Mother to
death.â
âAfter that, he just became worse and worse. He went insane and started learning demonic arts. Not
only did he oppress our entire tribe, he even went to Galactic City to kidnap the lordâs wife. Thatâs how
the Pierce family ended up getting demolished.â
âSo, Father, did you really rape Auntie and bring her away with you?â
Rowan was now slightly interested in this story. After some thought, he said, âOf course not. We just
experienced very odd incidents back then. And it was all because of this evil Bodhi!â
Rowan
Alex
âVia, come here. Iâll let you in on a secret. Do you know who this evil Bodhi is?â
âHeâs the owner of the Dairaionji Temple.â
âThis guy was the one who forcefully brought me away and ate your aunt. Itâs good that I succeeded in
defeating him in the end.â
Juvia froze. âHeâs the owner of the Dairaionji Temple?â
Rowan replied. âThatâs right, this place is where the followers of Dairaionji Temple are. Via, Iâm so sorry
about what happened back then. Thatâs why I have decided to let you be the owner of this very
temple.â
