Chapter 18 Level Nine

• Alexander did not say anything. He just grabbed Scarlett's hand.
• "Sir, what is wrong?" Scarlett was shocked by Alexander's sudden action.
• However, she did not resist. Her dirty little face was filled with shyness as she allowed Alexander to grab her hand.
• Alexander stared at Scarlett's small hands. Her hands, which were originally tender and smooth, were now covered in wounds, which were caused by the leaves of the herbs.
• He looked at her and realized that her face was quite dirty.
• Alexander realized that she had been protecting him while he was unconscious.
• At this moment, Alexander suddenly felt as if his heart had been struck by something.
• Ever since he was reborn, Alexander's heart was filled with hatred for what happened in his previous life. What he encountered was contempt, hostility, and even hunting of other people.
• Never before had Alexander felt such a warmth in his heart. Previously, Alexander only felt coldness and cruelty in this world.
• Alexander now knew that there was still light in this cruel and dark world.
• Alexander grabbed Scarlett's small hand and revealed a rare gentle smile. He said softly, "Thank you."
• Seeing that Alexander was no longer cold and indifferent and even thanked her, Scarlett's eyes were covered in a layer of mist.
• She knew that everything she had done and suffered these past few days was worth it.
• In order to find precious herbs to treat Alexander, she had walked through all the dangerous places around the canyon while in the storm, in the darkness, and under the gaze of ferocious beasts.
• No one knew how much she had suffered, but at last, it had all paid off.
• Seeing that Scarlett was about to cry, Alexander immediately stroked her hair and said with a smile, "We now have a very special and unique bond, right?"
• "Yes!" Scarlett nodded her head vigorously as she held back her tears.
• Alexander's awakening gave Scarlett a sense of security that she had not felt in a long time.
• She thought, Finally, I am no longer alone in this dangerous forest.
• She wanted to hug Alexander and cry, but when she noticed that her body was dirty and her hands were covered in mud, Scarlett hesitated.
• However, at the next moment, Scarlett's body trembled.
• Alexander stretched out an arm and hugged her. He did not mind her dirty appearance at all and said softly, "Thank you."
• Scarlett finally could not help but cry in Alexander's arms.
• She said, "I grew up in the palace and was pampered. I know that I am not able to do anything well. Sir, after you fainted from the poison, I was really afraid that you would die. I am timid, but I know that I have to put in effort in order to save you. But I am so clumsy. There were a few times when I almost fell into the swamp outside the canyon. I am really afraid..."
• At this moment, Scarlett cried out.
• Alexander smiled and said, "Alright, alright. It's all in the past. I'm awake. Everything will be okay now."
• She cried for a while and actually fell asleep in his arms. She seemed to be too tired.
• Alexander gently placed Scarlett on the haystack and let her have a good sleep.
• He started practicing the Creation Manual. The special golden internal energy surged in his body, limbs, bones, and flesh.
• The Creation Manual was extremely powerful. The golden internal energy quickly dispelled all the remaining poison in his body.
• At this moment, Alexander felt that his power had returned.
• He thought, If I enter Level two of the Creation Manual, my bronze armor will also enter level two, which will transform into silver armor. I will be even stronger then. That snake poison won't be able to hurt me at all by then.
• He knew very well that as he continued to practice the Creation Manuel, his body would continue to be stronger.
• Alexander remembered that when Evan reached Level eight of the Creation Manuel, his body was so strong that nothing would be able to hurt him.
• If anyone entered Level nine of the Creation Manual, they would live on forever and become immortal. However, even Evan, who was the most talented folk of his time, was unable to reach that level.
• Alexander remembered that Evan had once told him that he was the only one in this world who could reach level nine.
