A Man Like None Other - Season 8 Episode 47

Right at that moment, Tessa felt a strong gust of wind blowing toward her.

Frightened, Tessa stumbled backward and fell to the floor.

“Do you know what you lack compared to the women by Jared’s side now?” Lyanna shot Tessa a smug smile. “How can you be of use to Jared when you’re nothing but a pretty face? As for us, not only are we pretty, but we also know martial arts.”

The wind Tessa felt earlier was the result of Lyanna swinging a punch at her from a distance. Lyanna was sick of watching the woman clinging onto Jared.

In truth, Lyanna had fallen head over heels for Jared after spending a few days with him in Mapleton. Hence, she was jealous when she saw how Tessa acted in front of him.

“Are you all right, Ms. Snyder?” Jared asked hurriedly before helping her up.

Tessa was enraged. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lyanna. “I can learn martial arts as well! Sooner or later, I’ll be better than all of you. When the time comes, I’ll show you that I’m not just a pretty face. “

With that, Tessa left the mansion in tears. Being a superstar, she had never been through such a humiliation.

After Tessa left, Jared shot Lyanna a helpless look. “Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line?”

“What’s wrong? Do you feel bad for her? What if the person who fell down was me? Will you be heartbroken as well?” Lyanna looked at Jared with hopeful eyes while anticipating a straight answer.

“Uh… I think I have something cooking in the kitchen. I better go check it out!” Jared lowered his head and ran toward the kitchen because he didn’t know how to answer her.

In response, Lyanna pursed her lips and grumbled softly to herself, “I don’t care how many women you have by your side. I’ll get my hands on you eventually!”

After a simple dinner, Jared locked himself in his room and cultivated. He was hoping that with the help of those spiritual stones, he would be able to rise through a cultivation level.

While sitting on his bed with his legs folded, Jared began his Focus Technique. Immediately, the spiritual stones outside in the yard started to exude huge waves of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy then rushed into his body.

However, none of the spiritual energy went inside Jared’s elixir field. Instead, it was all absorbed by the Dragonslayer Sword.

After a whole night of cultivating, Jared realized the spiritual energy in his body remained the same. At the same time, the whole carload of spiritual stones had vanished.

Jared furrowed his brows in distress. Does the Dragonslayer Sword need spiritual energy? I can’t even replenish my own spiritual energy in time! Now I have to cultivate on behalf of the sword as well?

“It’s time for breakfast!” Right then, Lyanna was done preparing breakfast for Jared.

The moment Jared walked out of his room, he saw a table full of sumptuous dishes. “Oh? I didn’t know you can cook.”

“I can do all the house chores! When I was at Mapleton, I used to do everything on my own.” Lyanna smiled and added, “If you marry me, you’ll get to have a sumptuous breakfast every day!”

Jared froze for a while upon hearing that. Why is she being so direct? I never thought she was such a blunt person!

As a matter of fact, Lyanna was actually a better cook compared to Josephine and Lizbeth.

“Oh, stop fooling around. I have a girlfriend.” Jared smiled awkwardly and sat down at the table.

“So what if you have a girlfriend? Don’t you know the martial arts world allows polygamy? In Mapleton, quite a few of the guys have a few wives!” Lyanna replied candidly.

“Well, that’s Mapleton. Here, there’s no such thing. We have monogamous relationships and we practice gender equality here,” Jared said while he was eating.

“How about this then? I’ll be your mistress. Am I not worthy to be your mistress?” While she was saying that, she pressed her body against Jared.
