276 Chapter 276 The Conceited and Eccentric Kryzsha

Following Kryzsha who was calmly flying in a good mood, Desmond and Mei couldn’t help but notice how quiet the forest around them had become, without the sound of birds singing or beasts fighting; In addition to the sound caused by the wind brushing the leaves in the treetops, this place was devoid of any source of the noise.

Showing how keen her senses were, Kryzsha commented: “This place is usually quite quiet at night and doesn’t get lively for a couple of hours, don’t worry too much about it; look, I’m going to hum something. ”

Following Kryzsha’s nonchalant declaration, the trio watched in disbelief as the massive beast emits a soft and soothing melody with its mature voice giving a deep touch to the lullaby she began to hum.

Even Desmond who had greater resistance to the unexpected found the current scenario a bit ridiculous but listening to the beautiful melody and how well practiced it seemed Desmond was unable to help himself as he began to hum along with Kryzsha letting some memories of the past reignite within his mind.

Watching Desmond also hum the strange lullaby with a reminiscent expression on his face, Xiauyue and Mei felt that curiosity was eating them inside but looking at the hidden regret in Desmond’s eyes; they decided to let him get carried away by the moment.

It took no more than five minutes with Kryzsha’s escort and his aura of overwhelming power for the group to reach the top of this mountain with ease where a massive cave was hidden thanks to the rocky ledges around it.

It didn’t take a genius to know that the group had reached their destination, but Xiauyue and Mei were still shocked to discover that a place like this had remained hidden from all the surrounding sects for so long.

Although if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that this place has most likely been found on more than one occasion in the past since its location is not extremely remote but it was likely that no one has survived his encounter with Kryzsha, so the secret was kept hidden to date.

Such a thought caused the girls to inevitably find themselves nervous but seeing the friendly attitude with which Kryzsha treated Desmond, they thought or rather hope that everything was fine.

.....

As the group began to make their way into the cave, it didn’t take long for the trio to notice that the cave was not empty of other living things, it’s just that none of the three had ever seen the adorable creatures that seemed to inhabit the cave before them.

Only one meter tall, what could only be described as little maidens whose upper part seemed to be made of immaculate white marble while starting from their waist they seemed to gradually grow shards of obsidian that cascaded like a skirt showing only in the lower part of their white legs of these little creatures that walked around the cave, with a demure-looking hairstyle with their hair made of some kind of metallic alloy similar in color to steel that fell almost to the level of their maroon-red eyes, These little maidens wore rubies, sapphires, and emeralds embedded in the center of their chests growing in all sorts of beautiful natural patterns.

Even though everything in them is considered some type of mineral or rock material, these maidens moved with easeasyd elegant grace that betrayed how agile they were, although the small footprints that their steps left also spoke a lot about the weight of these stone maidens.

Seeing the look of fascination on the trio’s faces, Krysha couldn’t help but show off with an expression of adorable arrogance: “Pretty impressive, isn’t it? these adorable creatures appeared one day in my cave asking for my protection believing it was some kind of God or guardian beast, normally I wouldn’t mind but you just have to look at them ... they are like precious dolls made of precious gems, who doesn’t like gems? Since then they have lived in my mountain under my protection and as a thank you they help me with the housework ”

Looking at the beautiful feminine-looking creatures made of stone and gems anyone would think of a certain mythological creature with the golem name but beyond the living stone theme; These cute creatures did not look much like the creature from Greek folklore.

Xiauyue and Mei seemed to agree with Kryzsha’s words about how adorable these creatures were, especially concerning Kryzsha’s comment on the taste for precious gems, since they were based only on the precious gems that these maidens of marble and obsidian carried on their breasts; anyone would pay a fortune for them.

On the other hand, Desmond, who had a certain fascination for crafts and music, could not help but marvel at the exquisite appearance of these wonders of nature, of course, a part of him was also attracted to the idea of ??having someone who will take care of the housework.

Seeing that the trio wore expressions of amazement and envy as they looked at their beloved servants, Kryzsha felt quite proud of herself and began to guide the group into the cave as she found any little opportunity to brag about the many treasures and rarities that she kept in her home.

Similar to the way a boy shows off his toys to his little friends, Kryzsha spoke enthusiastically about anything she kept in her cave that was noteworthy.

Normally anyone would find this attitude quite annoying but there was a certain charm in seeing an entity like Kryzsha whose power was probably capable of splitting mountains act in such a cute way.

On the other hand, it was also quite interesting to see the treasures that this ancient creature kept, one can imagine the surprise of the trio when they arrived at what seemed to be Kryzsha’s room and saw that it was full of treasures capable of causing wars.

Unable to believe her own eyes, Xiauyue had to ask in a trembling voice, “Is that your bed?”

“Pretty beautiful isn’t it?” Kryzsha replied proudly.

“Is it made entirely of nine sun jade?” Just to be one hundred percent sure that Xiauyue was not wrong, she asked again.

“It seems to me that it is called like that, to be honest, I don’t know where the materials with which it is made came from, I only know that my dear maidens began to bring all kinds of materials that they found while they were digging in the mountains as a tribute or something like that and when I saw a huge pile of this strange orange stone I had some idea of ??its properties so I melted it all together and made a bed out of it. You have to try it, it is the best bed in the world, you can feel how the sunlight fills your body with warmth in a comforting way when you lie on it “Accepting that she really was not sure of the origin of the material, Kryzsha had no problem explaining the story as such a treasure was simply gifted to her by her maidens of marble and obsidian who worshiped her as a god.

“Just so? Did someone just come to your cave and give you enough jade nine suns to buy an empire? ” Mei who managed to remember what the jade nine suns was asked with a blank expression.

Kryzsha as if she was genuinely offended by the question, she replied with some reproach in her maternal voice: “Of course not, even I know how valuable these gems are so I reward all my maids with a bath”

Sensing that Kryzsha’s response was about to cause his companions to collapse, Desmond intervened tactfully: “They don’t seem like the kind of creature that enjoys the water.”

To which Kryzsha responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world: “Of course not, who spoke about water? To my dear maids I would not give something so trivial, since their gift was so valuable I used my flames to give a bath to each one of them; since then they have been more radiant than ever ... although it took me almost a week to bathe them all. ”

Finishing her explanation, Kryzsha pointed her snout and exhaled from it a small iridescent flame whose temperature heated the entire room a couple of degrees, measuring several hundred meters in diameter, feeling the enormous power within that tiny flame; the trio gulped thinking about what it would be like to take a bath with it.

But looking again at the pristine marble and gleaming obsidian; It was obvious that these little stone maidens did not have the same notion as them and it was likely that they would actually find bathing in those flames enjoyable ... perhaps they even found it beneficial in some way.

Trying to put the issue of the bed and the fire bath in the past, Desmond and the girls kept looking around discreetly to find all kinds of objects made of unheard of precious materials that caused poor Xiauyue who had always been considered the little sect princess feel like a poor tramp.

According to Xiauyue herself, just the gigantic bed almost thirty meters in diameter made of jade nine suns was enough to buy an entire city with everything in it, not to mention all the other treasures within this cave.

Hearing her explanation, both Desmond and Mei felt cold sweat run down their backs at the notion of such wealth and wondered what kind of war would break out if the existence of this cave came to light.

But remembering how Kryzhsa could create such ridiculously powerful flames as easy as breathing, the trio quickly understood that it was better if the existence of this place never came out into the open or the entire mountain region of the thousand beasts would burn with an iridescent fire that it would consume as many soldiers as they came.
