Chapter 114
Oliver was ecstatic for a moment. The Book of Immortality was able to save the dying sparrow, demonstrating its inconceivable capability!
However, he would have to hide that inconceivable ability, as he knew that to harbor a jewel was to invite disaster.
After comforting Hailey for a while, Sienna turned to face Oliver, who was lost in thought and gazing up at the sky. He appeared to be in a daze after he emerged from the cave, which made her wonder if something had happened to him. Sienna nodded slightly at Hailey before walking over to Oliver and asking softly, “What’s wrong? If there’s anything, just tell me. I will help you come up with a solution!”
Oliver turned around and smiled at her. Looking at Sienna’s gorgeous face, he couldn’t help but pull her over and kiss her face. He replied with a smile, “It’s nothing serious. I am just happy. I’m elated!”\
Sienna was embarrassed and glanced at Hailey. Upon noticing that Hailey didn’t see it, she felt slightly disappointed. However, she was overjoyed at Oliver’s action. She questioned him with a smile, “What are you so happy about? Share it with me.”
Oliver pointed at her back and replied, “The curse of Blood Malediction on you has disappeared. The eyeball imprints on your and my bodies are gone! This trip is worth it!”
Sienna couldn’t help but murmur, “Do you really believe that? It’s all superstition!”
Oliver smiled and replied, “If you believe it exists, then it does. Anyway, it’s a good thing!”
Sienna poked his forehead with her tanned finger and whispered, “You must suppress your joy. Can’t you see that your pretty boss is sad? The more happy you are, the more heartbreaking she will be. She’s… too pitiful. Let’s not provoke her!”
Initially, she was slightly jealous. However, Oliver’s public display of affection just now without caring about the rest had eased any sense of jealousy she felt. Her animosity toward Hailey had also lessened.
As soon as her jealousy toward Hailey disappeared, Sienna suddenly pitied Hailey. Hailey’s parents were gone, and her father even died in front of her. No one could bear such pain. Moreover, Hailey wasn’t having much luck in the romantic department.
She should do unto others as they would have them do unto her.
Wayne and Simon packed up the equipment. They couldn’t just throw everything away because they didn’t know if they could leave Enchanting. Hollow. They still needed to prepare their accommodation and subsequent meal.
The journey back was less terrifying than before, and the Nocturna Heron didn’t appear.
Wayne and Simon formed a defense until they reached the Alpar River, with one leading the way and the other at the back.
When crossing the Alpar River, Oliver was surprised to notice that the Nubia Python, hiding at the bottom of the river a few hundred yards away, seemed afraid of his aura and shrank further from him.
He thought, “Are they afraid of the aura from my ‘Book of Immortality’? Is that what happened with the Nocturna Heron
too?”
Gabriel was worried about Hailey and wanted to cross the river first. However, Wayne took the opportunity instead.
Oliver didn’t care about it because he knew that the Alpar River was no longer dangerous to him now since the Nubia Python didn’t dare to approach him.
The six of them crossed the river without any mishap. When Hailey turned to look back at Mount Rockenan, she suddenly burst into tears.
She would never be able to see her father again. Others could still visit the crematorium to visit their passed loved ones, but she wouldn’t even be able to do that.
She would never have a chance to return here after she left Enchanting Hollow because Oliver was the only one who could do so. She knew they might never meet again after that since the man she liked was in love with someone else.
After passing the Alpar River, they arrived at the entrance of Enchanting Fog three hours later. They had camped there when they first came. However, now that the sun was setting in the west and there were still two hours left before dark, Oliver decided not to rest and set up camp. Instead, he planned to leave Enchanting Fog.
When they went there, it was nerve-racking. They still felt frightened when they recalled it. Nevertheless, everyone followed Oliver and left Enchanting Fog within ten minutes.
As soon as they left Enchanting Fog, everyone noticed they had returned to their familiar world. When they turned to look at Enchanting Hollow, it had become a foggy illusion.
If it weren’t for their personal experience, they wouldn’t have known what was happening inside.
Oliver looked at the setting sun and said to Wayne and Simon, “Let’s camp here. We will head down tomorrow morning.”
Wayne and Simon immediately made a fire to cook and set up their tents.

After dinner, Sienna took the initiative to share a tent with Hailey. Oliver could practice his mantra of “Book of Immortality” alone.
Oliver thought, “This is really amazing. I wonder if there is anything better than this. I would have to try it out next time.”
The next morning, Wayne and Simon made breakfast early. After breakfast, Oliver instructed them to take only some drinking water with them, leaving the rest of their things there so they would not waste energy bringing them back. Other adventurers passing by could also use their equipment in the future.
Before Hailey left, she stood rooted to the spot for a while. Although she couldn’t see it, she knelt and bowed in the direction
of Mount Rockenan.
The six reached the town in the afternoon and boarded a bus for the city without stopping. When they arrived in the city, they reserved rooms at a luxury hotel.
They had a comfortable rest that night, and Oliver slept till the next afternoon. When he got up, he headed down to eat at the restaurant downstairs.
After ordering his meal, he called Sienna to come down. Wayne and Simon also came and said to him, “Mr. Eastwood, Ms. Fox and Professor Lewis have checked out of their rooms and left.”
“Have they left?”
Oliver was stunned.

Hailey had left silently. What else could she do if she didn’t leave?
Oliver noticed the gorgeous Sienna in front of him was staring at him.
Oliver passed her a small bowl of oatmeal and said, “Come on. Have some oatmeal.”
Sienna took a small bite and asked him, “What’s your plan when you go back?”
Oliver pondered for a while and replied, “When I return, I’ll work on the company and ensure it does well. Then, earn some money and ask for your parents’ permission so I can propose to you as soon as possible!”
Sienna blushed, and she was overjoyed. She smiled and responded, “Look at how confident you are. My mom might not agree to it!”
Oliver pretended to be unhappy. “How can she not agree to it? I’m the father of your child. If she didn’t agree, I will…”
Sienna suddenly remembered that she had cast her pearls before the swine. She reached out and hit his head as if she had forgotten about this.
She thought, “Forget it. I can’t win this argument.”
They had booked plane tickets at half past two and reached Jeahron Airport at half past four. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Wayne had already informed Fabian, so the latter drove to the airport to pick them up with two Rolls- Royces.
Fabian was very excited during the journey. He said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, let’s go to Taffledale first. Over the past few days, I have conducted my research. There is a lot of good stuff there, so I was hoping you would return soon so we could get those things.”
Oliver nodded and replied, “Okay. Let’s take a break today. Book the flight to Taffledale for tomorrow.”
