Kylo flirted for few more minutes before making her comfortable and asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"So, what is your bloodline?"

Avery who still had her head lowered due to embarassement, shook her head.

"I don't know. The information in this jade feels incomplete. There are many information that have been left incomplete."

Kylo squinted his eyes after hearing this. He already had an idea about it.

Why?

Because there was only one anklet on her foot. An anklet should have been in a pair.

[Hmmm... this is getting more and more interesting]

Kylo could not help but let out a chuckle.

"What happened?" asked Avery confused hearing his chuckle.

"Nothing.

So then what about your cultivation?"

He asked another issue. If she cannot cultivate Qi, then he would be in deep trouble.

[After all few cultivation manuals I know are only related to Qi and Devil Energy.] he thought.

But he was not that worried because....

"Actually I already got a magic manual from the anklet." Avery replied with a confident smile on her face.

... He already expected this.

After all she said it was 'information jade' as well as blood enhancer.

What type of information jade specially made for a particular race will leave the owner hanging.

Even though it was only one anklet, that was more than enough.

[Magic Cultivation huh...]

"So... Did you get any battle techniques?

Or else you would have to practice my techniques with Mana."

Kylo suggested with a slight smile on his face.

[Though it would be difficult, but not impossible.]

"Actually master..." she started fidgeting.

Kylo frowned a little

[Did she really not get any battle techniques?]

He did not reply, waiting for Avery to speak up. Getting the indication Avery continued

"My bloodline, is not for fighting. I got many techniques but none of them are related to fighting."

She replied with a stiff smile.

After few seconds Kylo immediately made a guess. And sure that was confirmed by Avery.

"My bloodline is related to Alchemy."

She said in a little nervous tone. Yes Alchemists were respected all over the universe, no matter which planet, Alchemists are one of the few people you cannot offend.

Alchemists are also referred as divine beings by mortals.

After all Alchemists can turn a mortal into a warrior with his pills.

They can cure any and almost every disease a mortal can suffer.

They can even extend the life of a mortal with just a pill.

As long as they have resources they can create their own army of powerhouses. Thats how scary Alchemists are.

But... they should have resources and for that they had to rely on the warriors.

That is why while Alchemists are respected, they also had to show respect to the warriors.

Kylo already guessed it.

[After all, elves are related healing.

But she is not a High Elf.]

Kylo furrowed his brows a little. He could swear he read or heard about Elf Alchemists somewhere but he could not remember it now.

Just when he was about to give up, he remembered he read it in the records of the previous Devil Emperor.

[Wait, if that information was not just made up then, she is...]

Kylo's eyes widened in surprise.

Before he could continue to think more Avery broke him from his trance

"Master..."

"Yes?"

"You will not abandon me right?"

That was she was really nervous about. After all she assumed that Kylo took him under his banner because she was a warrior.

Now that she became an Alchemist and she did receive any battle techniques she was afraid she would not be useful to him.

"Why would I abandon you?" Kylo asked with a gentle smile.

He did not need to peek in her mind. He could understand what was going through her mind.

"Really?" she asked in pleasant surprise.

She could not describe the happiness she was feeling in her heart. She gave a beautiful smile and muttered

"That's great."

It was then she recognised how happy and nervous she is with anything related to Kylo.

She already knew how her heart beat lightly everytime she talked with Kylo.

How she would be excited everytime Kylo teased and bantered with her.

How she would be nervous if she ever thought she disappointed Kylo.

How she would love to do her best for her master, Kylo.

And she knew this was not normal.

[Do... I really like... him?]

She blushed at the thought and looked at Kylo's handsome face who was hugging her.

Seeing that sharp eyebrows and deep black eyes, his perfect chin and that square jawline appears to have been chiseled out of stone. No baby faces there..no puffy cheeks either.

A race known as the 'perfect existence', that she had only heard in legends. She thought

[Maybe, I.... really like him]
