Chapter 556 Old Hag and B***h
"Pardon? What did you just say?"
"I said, the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress both demand a meeting with you today." The Great TImeMaster repeated her words with emphasis this time, as if she had seen Alex’s confusion. "If you want to know why they want to meet you, just ask them later."
"...."
If the Great TImeMaster had said these words to other Travelers, they will most likely freeze in shock and tension. After all, knowing that two Returning Travelers were demanding a meeting is something can make anyone feel unsettled.
Alex appeared to feel the same thing, although with his experiences, he was to be able to quickly compose himself.
"H-hold on... Two Returning Travelers, who I still have not met before, wants to meet me now? And they want to do it this fast? Are you sure that they’re not planning anything nefarious here?" Alex queried, with his tone clearly implying that he’s not interested on going at all. "No matter which way I look at it, this seems fishy. Can I just not go?"
"Hmph, I applaud you for being able to stay this calm, Mr. Alex. Not many can be as stable as you from hearing what I said. However, that does not mean that I agree with you." The Great TimeMaster replied while frowning, as if she was unhappy with Alex’s answer. "Even with your current strength, you cannot just ignore the ’requests’ of Half-Step Transcendent Beings. You are still a mortal in front of the Arcane Sorceress and the Immortal Empress, so rejecting them is not a good thing for you...."
"So what, I am just supposed to meet them?"
"Yes, that’s what you should do, Mr. Alex. But don’t worry. With me and Old Man supporting you, nobody will be aiming for your life today." The Great TImeMaster raised her fists as she said this, with her face holding a solemn expression. "I promise you that with my heart, Mr. Alex. So can you just stop looking like you have eaten a sour lemon and man up already? You can’t look like that when you meet those two later."
"..."
Even with the sincere words that the Great TimeMaster had uttered, Alex did not look like he was convinced. Because of this, tried to give more excuses regarding this situation.
"Hmph, you will support me, Great TimeMaster? How can you be sure of-" But before Alex could articulate these thoughts, the Great TimeMaster chose this time to release her dreadful aura, which effectively silenced him.
Her aura, which seemed to have the power to speed up or even reverse time, hit Alex’s face in full force, making all of his intentions to object disappear quickly.
Now, Alex can only do his best to keep himself from falling down as all of Great TImeMaster’s animosity and hostility began to rain down on him. It was not a pleasant feeling for Alex, and the fact that the Great TimeMaster looked like she was about to eat him alive did not help matters too!
"Mr. Alex. The Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress are the only women among the Returning Travelers. Because of that, I have a good relationship with those two. So don’t think that they will try something funny to you. If they did, they will risk breaking their friendship with me." The Great TImeMaster said, with her voice lacking any traces of playfulness anymore. Her voice only sounded grave at this point, with her every words sounding exactly like a warning.
"However, if you, Mr. Alex, tries to offend those two, even I am not sure how they will react. So please, just for the sake of your life, give them some time to talk with you." The Great TImeMaster added, with her aura still pushing Alex down to the floor. "If you still dare to not meet them, then I will be forced to knock you out!"

"...Sigh, with your main body watching me right now, there’s no way for me to avoid this meeting. Fine, since you made your pledge, maybe I will give some time for the Arcane Sorceress and the Immortal Empress." With the Great TimeMaster hovering threateningly above him like a guillotine, Alex knew that he cannot reject her anymore. Thus, he was left with no choice but to accept her ’request’. "Sigh, even if I don’t want to meet them, you will still force me to do it..."
"Hmph, now we’re talking!" After hearing Alex’s affirmative answer, the Great TImeMaster quickly dispelled her aura, which allowed Alex to breath peacefully once more. Her smile then came back again, with the excitement in her eyes blossoming once more. "Hehehe, you won’t regret doing this, Mr. Alex. I assure you, as long as you use the right words, you should be able to gain some good rapport with them!"
"Rapport my ass. I’m sure those two were curious about what had happened two months ago. Do you really think they will treat me that highly? Hmph, they might only treat me like an interesting toy...." Alex muttered inwardly as he tried to hide his irritation. "Tsk, maybe I should have just stayed with Alina today. At least with her, I can still be sure of my chances..."
"Did you say anything, Mr. Alex?"
"O-oh, I was just wondering on how I should meet the Arcane Sorceress and the Immortal Empress." Alex replied hastily as he straightened his body. "Where should I go to meet them, and at what time should I leave? Should I go to their bases later, or-"
"You don’t need to worry about approaching them. The energy clones of Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress are already here, so you don’t have to leave anymore." The Great TImeMaster blurted out, with the smirk on her face widening into a full-blown grin. "You just have to remain on your seat and let those two start the talking!"
"What? Those two are here? But how-"
\u003c\u003c\u003cSo you are the Traveler who reached the Sixth Stage just after 5 Missions. I thought you would be a dashing, heroic character like my husband. Turns out, you just look like a simple man.\u003e\u003e\u003e
An extremely beautiful woman, whose tall and slender body was covered by a robe wreathed with golden symbols, suddenly appeared behind the Great TimeMaster. Her melodious voice rang out as she appeared, with her spoken words seemingly directed at Alex alone
Her pale, white skin and deep, black hair seemed to glint inside the hut as she stared at Alex, with her sparkling eyes and rosy lips curling ever so slightly. Eventually, a small frown appeared on her delicate face, an expression that was paired with a small sigh coming out of her mouth.
She looked like she was slightly disappointed by seeing Alex, which was alluded by the words that she said next.
\u003c\u003c\u003cGreat TImeMaster, is this the man that you are talking about? Could you have obtained the wrong person perhaps?\u003e\u003e\u003e The robed woman queried as she tilted her head. This action served to make her look more fantasizing, although the way that she acted now was enough to make Alex bristle. \u003c\u003c\u003cHmm... if you are an impostor, you should confess it now, young man. You are not the man that I want to see, so just-\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||An impostor? Arcane Sorceress, your eyes seem to be getting blind again. What you see right in front of you is a man who has the potential to be an Empyrean like me! Hmph, even if his Immortal Cultivation is still lacking now, as long as he trains under me, he will be a sure-fire powerhouse in the future!|||
Another woman suddenly appeared out of thin air, who did not waste any time as she began her tirade.
This newcomer, who wore a pristine white dress that was wreathed with the paintings of stars and planets, held a derisive expression on her beautiful face as she continued to talk.
|||Arcane Sorceress, you don’t have any way to entice this man anymore. He’s destined to be under me, so just scram like the w***e that you are.||| The newcomer added, with her insulting words seemingly directed towards the robed woman. |||Seducing my former lover was already too much, but now you’re trying to use your fake charms against my possible student? Hmph, you really are a b***h!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cExcuse me? Did you just call me a b***h?\u003e\u003e\u003e The robed woman, who seemed to be the Arcane Sorceress, let out small screech as she began giving a murderous glare towards the newcomer. Bloodlust could be seen oozing out from her eyes, as if what the newcomer said was enough to unleash her killing intent.
|||So what if I am? You are a b***h all this time, and you’re just lucky my former lover has a fetish for dirty w****s like you.||| Unfazed by the Arcane Sorceress’ murderous glare, the newcomer only gave her a dismissive look . |||As for this young man, I am sure that he will choose me as his teacher, and not someone as dirty as you!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cWhat? Immortal Empress, did you just say that this young man is suited to be an Immortal? Hah, what a joke! Can’t you see that out of all the powers that he had now, it was his Immortal cultivation that is the weakest? In my opinion, he is better off as an Arcane Practitioner like me!"\u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress screeched out, with her hair staring to frizzle out with electricity. \u003c\u003c\u003cHeh, if you can’t even make your lovers stay with you, then how the hell can you be a good teacher! Hmph, I bet that once you take this man as your student, he will also leave you because you suck!\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||You b***h! I dare you repeat that!||| The newcomer, who seemed to be the Immortal Empress, looked like she was about to blow up as she began screeching at the other woman too. |||You think I can’t make my students stay with me? Hmph, you seem to be out of your mind to be saying that!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cI’m out of my mind? Heh, the one who’s always out of his mind is my husband, who always received the best ’services’ from me!\u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress replied with a lewd smile, which was enough to make even Alex feel hot. \u003c\u003c\u003cHehehe, my husband always complains that when he was with you before, you don’t give him any ’services’... Heh, that was why he left you for me! You really suck, no matter what you do! And I bet that will also happen with this young man! So young man, just come with me and avoid this old hag!\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||I-I’m not an old hag! I’m even younger than you!||| If the Immortal Empress could even look more mortified at this point, Alex was not sure as she seemed to have reached her maximum mortification already. |||Arcane Sorceress, you’re just jealous that my looks are all natural, unlike yours! Tsk, you’re just an evil chemical spawn! |||
\u003c\u003c\u003cAre you sure about that, Immortal Empress? Why don’t you tell your age to Traveler Alex? He might be thrilled to hear it...\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||You little, conniving-|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cLalalala, lalala, lalala, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||Argh!!!||||

"Mr. Alex, I introduce to you, the Arcane Sorceress and the Immortal Empress." The Great TimeMaster chose this time to talk, with her solemn voice resounding in the air as she pointed her fingers at the two bickering women. "I hope you will have fun talking to them."
"..."
"Pfft..." Even though the Great TImeMaster sounded serious, she was actually close to laughing already, as the dumfounded look on Alex’s face was enough to entertain her. "Mr Alex, with your social skills, I know that you can diffuse this situation. Hehehe, do your best, ok?"
