God's Eyes

Liun could be considered the central area of all human settlements that were in a soul contract with foreign races.

As such, during every event, they would enter the city and try to mutually solve their conflicts through a peaceful discussion.

This was more important than they initially thought because the Ninad beast realm was far more dangerous than all of them first assumed.

The Yinar race knew of the dangers and was not inclined to fight beings of their own race or similar races to death.

There were some exceptions in which they revealed their terrifying strength.

But the humans from Argos had yet to find out the true strength of the Yinar race!

Because of the Yinar race's refusal to fight similar races, they allowed humans from Argos to live in Liun and to hold a gathering to solve conflicts.

They also sent one of their people to the gathering to maintain peace, and to speak up their mind if something was going against the will of the Yinar race.

However, they mostly remained quiet because the humans from Argos were having more than enough issues to solve amongst themselves.

After all, they were ordered to do things they didn't want to, which was because of the orders of the foreign races most of them had soul contracts with.

Everything was quite difficult if one was not able to do whatever they wanted, and one could say that most of the foreign races were talking through the humans they had a soul contract with.

Thus, everything was quite complicated, which the Yinar race understood completely.

This was the reason they wanted to help the races that were similar to their kind.

Unfortunately, this was easier said than done.

Every race was pursuing their own respective goal and benefits making it difficult for the gathering to be a success.

After all, most humans couldn't convince each other if they did not have a firm stand.

They could only make promises about things they had been told.

Most of them simply acted as messengers and could provide no reassurance or convey how serious the races truly were.

When Jason got to know this, he began to wonder how many humans from Argos inside Liun were not under a soul contract with foreign races.

This was something that intrigued him, and it allowed him to avert his attention from the fact that he and Jennifer would sleep in one room.

It was not as if that had never happened before, but there was no couch in the room. So, he either had to sleep on the ground or the bed with Jennifer!

Somehow, this excited him, but at the same time, Jason was fully aware of the fact that Jennifer was unlikely to be ready yet.

Thus, he calmed himself down quickly before averting his attention from the bed to Jennifer whose face had gone beet red, causing him to wonder if his assumption was correct.

Yet, when they made eye contact, she quickly looked away, leaving behind a confused Jason, who was unsure what exactly was going on.

With the uncertainty in mind, he changed the topic as he asked,

"Jen, did you notice anything suspicious about Liun or the Yinar race?"

His voice sounded serious, and Jennifer's embarrassment quickly subsided when she realized that he wanted to change the topic.

"Aren't they too nice? Not only to us but also to the messengers of the foreign races.

If I were to be surrounded by more than a dozen settlements of humans that were controlled by greed-fueled races, I wouldn't readily accept them inside my city…not if I were to know that they just wanted to expand their reach and exert dominance over the Ninad beast realm in the long run!

Right now, the Yinar race is still much stronger than them because they're amongst the only beings that are powerful inside the Ninad beast realm.

After all, they have multiple Cultivators at the Specta stage, which is not something the soul contracted humans from Argos had reached yet…I believe!"

Jason felt that Jennifer was acting quite cute as she was able to cover her embarrassment of the situation in their room well.

Thus, he couldn't even help himself and hide his smile as he replied to her with his observations.

"But do you really know all of that? Maybe everything is a little bit different than you believe. Don't you think they might need more people, more powerhouses, and combat strength?

You must have figured out that the two youths I fought were just 16 or something around that age, right? Their cultivation was extraordinary and the wandering soul of an Earth Dragon was bound to Jan.

However, even with all of this, they were not really proficient in fighting.

It was almost as if their youngsters had never been forced to fight beasts outside the city.

So…why could this be the case? Either they've given up on expanding their territory because they're too peaceful, or something more powerful prevents them."

In the end, none of the two was able to figure out the truth because there were too many other possibilities for almost every assumption they made.

Their intel was too little, and with that in mind, Jason wanted to leave the house and take a look around the city.

However, after he had used up his entire mana and divine energy, he wanted to wait until everything was replenished.

Complications might occur, and without any means to defend himself properly, he would only die.

Thus, he felt that he should rest a bit first.

"Is it okay for you if I rest on the bed a little? If not, I'm just taking the floor."

Hearing the sudden question, and change of topic, Jennifer was startled before she nodded her head.

She was already sitting on the bed and leaning against the wall.

She was relatively comfortable if one were to exclude the tension her entire body was overflowing with.

Meanwhile, Jason had been standing for the entire time they had been talking.

As such, after having received her permission, Jason slowly approached the bed too as the exhaustion of the last several months was slowly coursing through his entire body.

Hence, his movements were a little sluggish as he took off the leather armor he was wearing.

Meanwhile, Jennifer's gaze was focused on him, as she awaited him to undress some more.

But, only a second later, she realized what she was thinking.

Thus, she slapped her cheeks, while trying to regain her senses.

Yet, even after that happened, she was tempted to take a peek.

Unfortunately, Jason was already wearing comfortable clothes below his leather armor, and changing them took seconds.

Feeling shy, she had placed both her hands on her face. Thus, she didn't say anything as he mumbled.

"If you want to take a look, just tell me… hehe."

While moving towards the bed, he leaned towards Jennifer.

Sensing him approach her, she removed her hands from her face.

Her white skin was a stark contrast to her pinkish cheeks and seeing her be shy made him ruffle her hair lightly.

"Don't pressure yourself too much. It's not as if we are running short of time."

Even if Jason didn't say anything specifically, or what he was talking about, Jennifer understood what he wanted to say.

This caused her to feel as if a great weight was lifted off her mind which made her smile lightly.

Jason might have a similar feeling of being eager and worried, but he already knew that she would give in today if he asked.

However, that was not something he wanted.

As such, he closed his eyes while lying on the bed, trying to fall asleep quickly

Yet, just before he had managed to clear his mind of all the thoughts and visualizations about what he could do to Jennifer, he felt a cold touch on his cheek as smooth fingers lovingly caressed his hair and cheek.

'Am I really supposed to sleep now?!'
