Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 634: The Truth
Moments before Noah appeared in front of the cathedral, a woman who appeared to be in her late teens could be seen walking through the woods of the dense forest.
Although there were many trees around them, the trees lacked any leaves or fruit on them.
It looked like they had entered some kind of barren area, but the ground was filled with lush grass and bushes.
"Fairy Clara, how far are the herbs you are looking for? We are already very deep in the wilderness." A bit behind the woman, two guards dressed in crisp uniforms and wielding sharp spears walked while looking around vigilantly.
Their figures posed with pride and power as they sneaked glances at the beautiful veiled woman walking before them.
Most of the men from their town had a crush on this benevolent healer, but only they had the honor to accompany her and stand by her side.
"Any farther than this, there is a chance we might attract spirit beasts." The other guard also chimed in thoughtfully.
The woman paused, hearing their words, and hummed without turning around.
"This should be far enough, I guess." A bell-like voice escaped her lips, and it was enough to entrance the two guards for a second before they got confused.
"Far enough for what?" One of the guards was scratching the back of his head; he looked around but could not see any herb in the area.
"Originally, I just wanted to come here by myself." Ignoring his question, healer Clara slowly turned around and looked at them with mock pity. "But who made you two idiot dogs who wanted to follow me everywhere I went?"
"Whatever happens to you is on you now." With a smile on her face, she waved her hand, and a crystalline pill appeared in her hand.
"What?" The guards, still shocked by her words, frozen upon seeing the pill in her hands, said, "Is that…"
"The beast-attracting pill!" The other guard completed his words, looking at the pill with shock, which soon turned into despair as he watched the woman crush it between her thumb and forefinger.
A faint mist escaped the pill and dispersed into the air.
"What are you doing… Fairy Clar?" One of the guards gulped his saliva in fear and asked with a stuttering voice.
"This has to be a joke, right?" He took a step closer to the woman, but she did not say anything or move from her place.
"What are you doing?" The other guy was the first to snap out of his daze and pulled his partner. "Come on, we have to run and inform the city lord."
Before the guy could say anything, the two of them felt a gust of wind brushing against their faces, prompting them to close their eyes.
Splash!
As they did, a splash of warm liquid covered their faces, and a deep scent of iron assaulted their nostrils.
Opening their eyes, the guards saw the woman they had revered as the Divine Healer was now lying on the ground.
Or what was left of her.
Her upper body was nowhere to be seen, and right above her body was a huge lion beast, staring at them coldly.
Its mouth still moved as it chewed on the remains of its prey.
"Arghh—" In despair, a guard tried to yell, but another shadow appeared behind him and bit his head off like it was taking a bit of candy.
The other guard did not even have the luxury to breathe as he was killed by the stomp of another behemoth.
The air stilled as the three beasts finished their meals and sniffed the air before turning their attention towards one direction, all at the same time!
At the same time, Noah, who had just seen the massacre of the guards through his soul sense and felt the lingering effects of the Beast Attracting Pill in the air, realized what had happened.
"The woman responsible for all this has left this place in the disguise of collecting herbs." Noah's voice sent shocks through the hearts of the two guards at the gates and Widow Ah Shi. "She used a Beast Attracting pill to attract a bunch of beasts to kill herself and the guards."
The guards exchanged shocked glances while the magistrate heaved a sigh of relief for a moment. He thought that Noah was the person responsible for everything and wanted to pin the blame on him.
He mistook Noah's cold glare as him wanting to kill him on the spot.
But the truth was that Noah was looking at him, but his attention was on everything that was under his soul sense.
Even Xin Yan was now doing the same, but she only saw the blood traces left by the beasts on the spot in the wilderness.
"What?! Who is that wretched beast of a woman?" After relief came anger. Finally knowing who was behind the mishap that happened to his child months ago, the magistrate could not hold himself and asked with a raised voice.
But as he spoke, something clicked in his mind.
'Collecting herbs? Woman?' It did not take long for him to connect the dots. "Could it be that woman named Clara?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Unlike the others who believed in the woman unconditionally, he had his doubts about the woman ever since he realized the kidnappings started around the day she entered their town.
Even though these kidnappings started a month before she officially entered the town, his gut told him she was not as innocent as she seemed.
There was also the fact that whoever was kidnapped in the past year had been a patient of hers.
His doubts were confirmed when he saw Noah nod in confirmation.
"How could it be?"
"There has to be some kind of mistake!"
"My fairy cannot be the culprit."
"Even the magistrate found no evidence against Lady Clara; how can we believe she was the reason for all this?"
The people gathered in the area were not as broad-minded as the magistrate, and they immediately refused to believe anything Noah said.
Even though he was a cultivator, their belief in the woman was higher than someone who had just arrived in the town.
