Chapter 67 It Is White
Jonathan swallowed hard. “F*ck off!”
Immediately, the caller said, “Sir, do you wish to f*ck someone?”
Jonathan was rendered speechless. “F*ck you!”
“God, you’re so annoying. Give me a second. I’m coming to you right now,” the caller said bashfully.
“Don’t!” Jonathan was scared stiff. “If you do, I’ll call the police!”
It seemed that his words had worked, as the caller immediately hung up.
Jonathan let out a long sigh. The woman on the phone is truly a master. I almost accepted her offer after hearing a few sentences from her.
He went back to the window and sat down again. As the air conditioner was turned on, the room was rather cooling. Although there were other items, such as a computer and a television in the room, he was not interested in them.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Is it that woman who called just now? Jonathan’s heart thumped. If not for the fear that Amber would find out, I would have done something crazy today.
Waving away those thoughts, he quickly went to answer the door, only to see Amber standing in the doorway.
She was wearing a light blue dress, with her hair styled in waves. She looked gorgeous and lively. In her hands were a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
Jonathan stared at Amber’s chest and saw her cleavage. His heart raced.
“Oh, Little Amber. It’s you. You’re so beautifully dressed, and you even brought a bottle of wine. Are you forcing me to make a mistake? Look, I can’t hold back sometimes.” Jonathan rubbed his hands.
Amber rolled her eyes at Jonathan. “What’s up with your mind? Can’t you think of something else besides that?”
With a chuckle, Jonathan let Amber into his room. “How can I possibly think straight when I see someone as beautiful as you in the middle of the night? If I can, then it’s either you’re a failure or I’m a failure.”
“Not funny!”
“Haha. Aren’t you curious why I said the last sentence?”
“Please, I know what you mean. You’re a failure because you’re worse than a beast, and I’m a failure because I’m not attractive enough. Am I right?”
Jonathan gave a half-suppressed laugh.
Amber continued, “I can’t sleep, and I feel like talking to you. Besides, drinking wine is good for a woman’s skin.”
“Are you a good drinker? I’m afraid that you’ll molest me when you’re drunk.”
“Can’t you say something nice?” While saying that, Amber poured a glass of wine for Jonathan and herself.
They sat opposite each other by the window and chatted while drinking.
That night, the night view was beautiful. Better still, the wine was good, and the beauty in front of Jonathan was flawless.
That was the most enjoyable moment for a man.
After finishing a glass of wine, Amber started to feel tipsy and more relaxed. Without realizing it, she had placed both her feet down and spread her legs.
Jonathan’s eyes traveled over her fair thighs and to her white underwear.
Something stirred inside him as his heartbeat grew louder in his ears.
Amber had no idea that she had accidentally flashed her underwear as she continued to speak joyfully.
Jonathan was so distracted that after a moment, he said, “Um, Amber, it’s getting late. I think you should go back to your room and rest.”
Amber looked daggers at him. “Why? Do you find me annoying and noisy?”
The usual Amber was valiant and charismatic. However, after having some wine, she reverted to her unreasonable and pesky self.
Jonathan smiled and replied, “Of course not.”
“Then why are you chasing me away?”
“That’s not what I’m trying to do. I’m just worried that I’ll make a mistake.”
“What do you mean?”
Why is it that her IQ becomes so low after she has had some alcohol? Defeated by Amber’s innocence, he retaliated, “It’s white.”
Amber was all the more confused. “What is white?”
Jonathan looked stunned. How can she not get it? How am I going to joke around with her in the future?
Very quickly, a thought struck Amber’s mind. Her face flushed red as she stood up and said, “You darn pervert!”
Unbothered by her words, Jonathan said, “If I was a pervert, I would’ve taken action. Now, hurry up and go to bed.”
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Amber put down her glass and rushed out of Jonathan’s room.
Jonathan stifled his laughter and went to bed soon after.
The next day, Jonathan and Amber continued their journey. As before, Jonathan was the driver.
It was fortunate that they had a navigation system in the car. Hence, they need not ask for direction.
It was eight in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly. After leaving Kenfort, Jonathan drove into a mountain road. On the left side of the road, one could see mountains filled with trees. And on the right, there was a long and crystal clear stream.
The air was fresh, and the scenery was breathtaking. Everything felt lively when the sun shone on the ground.
In the car, a song from a well-known singer was playing on the radio.
It was a melodious love song—I Will Always Love You.
And I hope life will treat you kind, and I hope that you have all that you ever dreamed of,
Oh I do wish you joy…
Jonathan and Amber listened to the song quietly. More than ever, they felt touched by the song lyrics.
Suddenly remembering something, Amber said, “I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
“What is it?”
As the two were in camouflage clothing today, Jonathan’s will was not strong. Whenever Amber wore something seductive, he could not contain himself. Fortunately, the camouflage clothing had covered her cleavage.
“When we confronted Felicia, you said that you went in because you pitied her. Then later, you said that it was because of Golden Years. And when you told me, you said that it was because you wanted to resolve the matters with Golden Years. I’m curious. What is the true reason you get yourself into this mess?”
With a bright smile, Jonathan answered, “That’s all true. Felicia is indeed pitiful, and I really want to get my hands on Golden Years and take care of their problems once and for all. If you want me to conclude everything, I think there’s only one reason for my actions.”
“And what’s that?”
“I’m a busybody.” Jonathan chuckled.
Amber smiled. She felt touched and was satisfied with her answer.
At three in the afternoon, Jonathan and Amber arrived in Ackleton. After resting for a short while, they continued their journey.
This time, they drove to the mountain road that Felicia had mentioned. The mountain roads were rugged. The further they drove, the more dangerous it was. And finally, their car could no longer travel further. Jonathan and Amber could only carry their equipment and walk the rest of the way.
Amber was not a weak woman. With Jonathan carrying the heavier equipment, they quickened their pace. It was eight o’clock in the evening when they were twenty miles away from their destination.
They had been walking for more than three hours. As the path was rough, the walk was exhausting. Amber was so tired that she lay down and couldn’t take another step forward.
“I can’t do it anymore, Jonathan. I’ve got to rest for a while.” Amber found a rock and sat down.
Jonathan raised his head and looked at the sky. There was a bright moon with numerous stars shining beside it.
They were surrounded by mountains in all directions, and everything was full of mystery.
“Have some food and take a break,” said Jonathan.
Amber felt relieved to hear that.
After the two had filled their stomach and rested for while Jonathan stood up. “Let’s go.”
Amber thought that the more she walked, the more tired she felt. But she still forced herself to stand up.
“I’ll carry you,” Jonathan offered.
“No way! I can still walk.” Amber didn’t want to trouble Jonathan.
I insisted on following him. I can’t be his burden!
“Amber, you’re very strong to have come this far. It’s hard to walk here on the mountain roads. Let me carry you. It’s best if we reach our destination as soon as possible.”
“Will you be all right?”
Jonathan gave a nonchalant smile. “Of course.” He then let Amber carry their equipment before carrying Amber.
While Jonathan felt great, Amber thought it was a little awkward. However, she had no other choice. Now that Jonathan was carrying her, they were moving at a faster speed. It was as if they were walking on flat ground.
Amber felt a little uneasy at first, but she got used to it after a while and fell asleep on Jonathan’s back.
About half an hour later, Jonathan woke Amber up.
“What’s the matter?” Amber opened her eyes groggily.
Gently, Jonathan placed her down and pointed ahead. “I think we’re here.”
Amber looked in the direction where he was pointing and saw a forest thirty meters ahead. In front of the forest was an artificial lake.
There was mist all around the place. It looked like a place where demons would appear. The scene was so eerie that no ordinary person would dare to get close.
Jonathan was sure that this was the place because of the lake. I’m sure it’s an artificial lake. Who would dig up a lake in the middle of nowhere? I’m sure it must be Master Yarrow from the Crimson Onyx Sect. I think Master Yarrow needs the lake to perform photosynthesis so that he can make a mirage.
Jonathan had a keen sense of perception. He could feel the fluctuations of a formation near them.
At that instant, both Jonathan’s and Amber’s expressions darkened.
Jonathan had the urge to tell Amber to wait on the spot as he sensed danger. However, he was worried that Amber couldn’t survive in the wilderness.
“Put on your gas mask and follow me. Make sure you’ve loaded your gun and released the safety catch. Keep your guard up at all times!”
