Chapter 242: New Arrival: Eve's Change
After Eve separated from Arthur. He gave her a spatial ring and told her to only open it when she is alone when she gets back to the Jade Emperor Realm.
Eve smiled sweetly as her mood has improved considerably after her interaction with Arthur. One of the greatest changes was that she now had a slight desire for strength that she never had before.

It was very rare considering that the kind of world that lived, strength was a dictator of the lives of all living.
But after this experience and interaction, especially with Arthur's subtle reminder of the cultivation stories he had told her before, she began to feel a bit anxious.
Hence, a spark of desire for strength was awakened in her.
Now, it was time for her to go.
But before that, she had to give Arthur something.
------------
Back in the outside world Suo Hao kept Lei Tian and the others trapped in his sealing array. They couldn't even speak and only their minds were filled with questions.
After casually sealing them, Suo Hao stood silently in the air. Due to meeting that expert from before who was probably related to Arthur and having his spirit body exposed he had learnt from that.
Hence, this time his spirit body was shrouded in concealing runes and no one would be able to tell if he was a real body or the illusory Spirit Body.
'Where is that fellow now?'
Just as he was thinking about it a ripple appeared in space and Arthur and Eve appeared together.
Arthur immediately recognized Suo Hao and smiled at him, "You're here. I didn't think you'll be disturbed by these men."
"You brat, we'll talk later. Are you done with your matters?" Suo Hao shook his head and asked.
Arthur gave a simple nod and turned to look at Eve who was just recovering from the shock of the scene in front of her.
"Arthur you know such an expert?"
"Yeah," Arthur smiled but said no more.
"Ouch!"
She pinched him and asked, "How much more have you been keeping from me?"
Even though she knew that the painful expression on Arthur's face was fake she felt a bit satisfied.
"Nothing really, I swear." Arthur raised both hands.
"Yeah, like I'd believe that."
After saying that she thought she might have been rude just now as she needed to have offered her thanks to the senior in front of her.
Realising this, she acted immediately and bowed, "Thank you senior for your help. This junior is grateful to you."
Suo Hao waves his hand dismissively, "It's alright. They were making some noise and disturbed my rest that's all."
After that he looked at Arthur and asked, "Should I free them now?"
Arthur held his chin, "I don't know, that Lei Tian fellow seemed like he was enjoying this."
Lei Tian got furious at that comment. Being ignored like this is something he rarely encounters in a place like the Illustrious Jade Empire.
How much more when he is treated like this in a mortal realm that he looks down on.
'If I ever have the chance I'll make sure you face a miserable end,' A hidden gleam flashed in his eyes.
He had to hide his hostility for now because what if the expert here would kill on account of this?
There's also the possibility that Arthur's background might not be as simple as he had thought. Who knows if there are other hidden experts with him here.
He only came here with his two guards this time and ignored his brother's suggestion to have any elder accompanying him.
But who would have thought that he would meet an expert like this in such a backwater dimension.
Lei Tian had no one to complain to.
As for Arthur he is still able to sense the flicker of killing intent from Lei Tian's emotions even though he hid it so well that even Suo Hao didn't notice.
But Arthur felt that it was only natural.
Lei Tian couldn't even muster up such a thought against Suo Hao who was an expert comparable to the elders of the Jade Empire.
But he could think so about Arthur.
Strength dictates all in this world.
"Alright, Unseal."
Suo Hao lifted the seal and vanished from their vision but didn't leave yet. Nevertheless, almost none at the scene could sense him but they were all sure he was still watching from the shadows.
Arthur thought Suo Hao would still have stuck around for a while but seeing him leave so suddenly made him think.
'Is there something else?'
Just as he thought this, he received a mental transmission from Suo Hao.
'There is another expert that will be arriving here soon. Don't worry they won't be able to cause any waves with me here. They wouldn't even be able to detect me.'
'I see.'
After Lei Tian was freed he immediately glared at Arthur but seeing that Arthur was absently staring into space ignoring him, he harrumphed and faces Eve instead.
"Are you ready to come with me now?"
Eve said nothing and only nodded.
Lei Tian was not satisfied with her response but there was a limit to what he could do. After all, no matter what, she was still a princess of the empire.
Her status far surpassed him. Maybe if he was like his elder brother then he would have a bit of an edge.
Lei Tian ordered his men to release Guan Li and tapped the ring on his finger and what looked like a giant rhombus shaped ship appeared in the air.
'A Void Spirit Boat?' Arthur recognised the artifact at a glance.
This was something real experts used to travel through one realm to another.
It was called a void spirit boat because it had the ability to shuttle through the void and arrive at different dimensions like it was teleporting.
Moreover, it can be imprinted with runes that can connect it to an advanced runic teleportation array from a dimension which would allow it to instantly teleport to the place it was connected to.
But the cost would be exceedingly high. But such a cost was not worth mentioning before the Jade Empire.
But of course not all in the empire could afford it, save for just a select few individuals.
"Alright, it's time to go."
"Indeed but she won't be leaving with you," A cold female voice replied to Lei Tian as a bigger and more extravagant Void Spirit Boat appeared.
The ship opened and a number of figures appeared. In the lead was tall and slender beauty with a cold expression wearing a plain black dress.
She was the one who spoke just now and besides her where three men and four women.
Lei Tian's eyes widened when he saw her and he almost exclaimed.
"Elder Tiamat? Why are you here?" He was truly suprised as the last time he saw her, she was under house arrest due to the complications surrounding the queen.
"That is none of your business boy," She merely glanced at Lei Tian and then ignored him.
"Little girl, your willfulness has cause a lot of trouble beyond what you can imagine. Are ready to return now?"
Eve was surprised and felt a little ashamed by the new arrival. This was because, Elder Tiamat was previously her teacher back when she was still in the imperial palace and had advised against her willfulness many times.
In the end, the day she ran away, she only left a letter saying goodbye.
Now that she was thinking about it, she felt that her actions then were too childish.
After having to talk to Arthur she had begun to have a change of mindset. Due to this, she nodded her head with a serious expression.
"Greetings Teacher. Indeed, I have been too willful in the past due to my mindset then. But now....I know what must be done."
Elder Tiamat raised an eyebrow in surprise, 'It seems she had matured quite a bit. This is good.'
Eve's escape plan back then could have easily been stopped but a lot of people tactically allowed but each with different motives.
Some had negative ideas while others like her teacher wanted her to experience mental growth when she had gone through some tempering in the lower realms, and looking at her now, Elder Tiamat can see that their wishes came through.
"Good! You have the right attitude. Now come with me. Guan Li, you too." The lady nodded in satisfaction but her expression remained the same.
Guan Li also recovered from his surprise and hurriedly offered his greetings in reverence.
Lei Tian felt indignant as his face had been slapped too many times today. He had noqhere to vent his anger.
He looked at Arthur but still held back as he knew he couldn't do anything in this situation. At least not yet.
Arthur watched the whole scene with a calm expression and Elder Tiamat finally noticed him.
'Hmm, this boy?'
