Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start-Chapter 518 - Special Firey

Chapter 518: Special Firey

“Continue with the test?”

Himmel Soan was shocked. Was that nine-headed monster only part of the test?

“You’ve defeated that monster, which means you’re qualified to take the test. I forgot who set that rule, but I do remember my job. I’m here to guide the qualified candidates to the next step,” explained Leela as if they could read Himmel Soan’s mind.

Himmel Soan was surprised. As it turned out, the whole thing was more complicated than he expected.

Defeating the nine-headed monster wasn’t even part of the test. It was only the entrance requirement.

He couldn’t help but wonder how difficult the test would be since that monster was already so hard to defeat.

“Would you like to continue, or do you want to stop?” Leela asked again.

“What will I gain from the test?”

That was the most important question for Himmel Soan.

He didn’t ask who designed the test.

Leela had said they didn’t know who set the rules. Himmel Soan feared that if he pressed Leela, they would fall into that frantic state again.

“I can’t remember. I only know you’ll receive the most generous reward, so much so that it’ll even lead you to become the most powerful being in the world.”

“I’m in!” Himmel Soan said yes without hesitation.

His goal was to become the most powerful person so that he could go anywhere he wanted without being stopped by anyone or anything.

“I have a request.” Himmel Soan glanced at Firey and asked hesitantly, “Does Firey have to take the test too?”

Firey was his only concern. He had personally experienced the formidable power of the nine-headed monster. He could deduce that the test would be dangerous and ruthless.

If he hadn’t defeated that monster, he would have been killed, and no one would have come to his rescue.

The designer of the test wanted to use this merciless method to train the candidates. Himmel Soan couldn’t imagine what would happen if Firey couldn’t withstand the challenge.

“No, she doesn’t have to. If she isn’t participating, she should leave the multi-space.”

There were no other options. She had to either take the test or leave.

“I’m not leaving!” Firey shook her head, unwilling to leave.

“Firey, be a good girl and wait for me outside. I’ll find you as soon as I complete the test.”

Himmel Soan tried to persuade Firey.

She had always followed his instructions. To his surprise, she stubbornly rejected him this time.

“No, Master, I’ll never leave you! I’m worried about you!” She grabbed Himmel Soan’s arm so that he wouldn’t send her away by force.

“It’s too dangerous here!” Himmel Soan said sternly. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

“That’s why I can’t leave. I can’t let you face the danger all by yourself.” Firey insisted.

“Master, let me stay here with you. I have a feeling this is very important to me, too. I can’t leave. With me by your side, your life won’t be in danger,” Firey whispered in Himmel Soan’s ear.

What she said got Himmel Soan thinking. Some ideas were forming in his mind.

He didn’t discover this multi-space. Rather, Firey heard the calling and stumbled upon it.

Not only that, but after the nine-headed monster came off the wall, it acted as if Firey didn’t exist and only attacked Himmel Soan.

Everything pointed to the fact that Firey was receiving special treatment from the multi-space.

Himmel Soan suspected he wasn’t given access to the multi-space and only got in because he was accompanied by Firey.

If that were the case, maybe Firey wouldn’t be in any danger.

“Master…” Firey tugged at his sleeve.

“Leela, can someone leave the test before they complete it?” Himmel Soan asked.

“There are five parts to this test. After each part, you get to choose whether to continue or to leave. However, you only have one chance to take this test. If you fail but survive the test, you can’t take it again.”

Himmel Soan nodded.

“Alright. You can come to the test with me, but if things get too dangerous, you must leave right away. If you don’t agree, you’ll have to leave me and never return,” Himmel Soan told Firey.

Hearing that one could back out in the middle of the test made him feel less concerned. Firey would be safe if she followed the instructions and left this place.

“Thank you, Master.” Firey beamed at Himmel Soan.

“Let’s go…:

Before he could say anything else, he heard Leela’s voice in his head. “She can leave at any moment, but you can’t!”

Himmel Soan looked around and saw that Firey didn’t seem startled. He was certain that only he could hear those words.

“What do you mean?” Himmel Soan asked in his mind. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

He believed Leela could hear him.

He was right. Leela soon replied, “I don’t know why, but she gives me a familiar feeling. I know she has the right to leave this place.

“As for you, I lied. Once you enter the test, you can only pass it or die in the process. You can’t leave in the middle of it. I’ll give you some time to think about it.”

It seemed Leela wanted Firey to take the test, but Himmel Soan couldn’t tell if that was the result of the familiar feeling or if there was another reason.

To keep Firey here, Leela would even tell lies.

The test was more ruthless than Himmel Soan imagined. He would die if he couldn’t pass it.

“Why are you telling me this now?” Himmel Soan asked in his mind.

“That’s part of the rules. I must make sure all candidates know what they’re facing. You’ll make a choice on your own. I can’t force you to do anything. It’s not the same case with the girl.”

Leela’s voice sounded like a thunderclap in Himmel Soan’s mind.

“I’m in!”

To Leela’s surprise, Himmel Soan made the decision without hesitation.

It concerned his life and death, and Leela expected him to waver. However, he was more decisive than Leela expected.

“I have high hopes for you. I remember I was told if a cultivator wanted to reach the top, the essential thing they must have is a dauntless heart. They had to remain confident even if the sky fell on their heads.”
