Chapter 214: Thea

When Wang Hao saw the incoming bandits, his attention was immediately focused on Thea.

Half of it was because of Thea's beauty. Even Wang Hao, who had seen beauties at the calibre of Fang Yu and Jieshu could not help but salivate at the sight of someone like Thea.

His expression slightly soured when he saw the supposedly leader of the bandits having his fun with Thea.

"Lucky bastard...." Wang Hao thought to himself as he saw the infatuated look on Thea's face.

As for the other half, it was because when Wang Hao's senses detected Thea, the seal imprinted on his forehead, suddenly acted up.

That seal on his forehead which was usually dormant and will only react when Fang Lin breaks through, suddenly had an intense reaction with Thea.

Wang Hao's eyes narrowed at this. His heartbeat sped up when he realized that this Thea had a connection with the seal on his forehead!

"I must leave her alive!" Wang Hao was not inclined to spare the other bandits. He knew with the aura he felt from them that they all committed various crimes. Even Thea herself had sin on her hands.

But with Thea seemingly having an important connection with Wang Hao's seal, Wang Hao had no choice but to spare her.

Wang Hao then unleashed his Eternal Blazing Flames on the poor bandits.

He manipulated the flames so that none of it will affect Thea. Once everyone was distracted by the pain by the flames, Wang Hao used consecutive teleportations to appear in front of Thea. He then knocked her out with potent medicines. Once she was out, he carried her by his shoulders and he rushed back to the spirit ship.

He wanted to store her in his spatial pocket, but he could not afford to distract Fang Lin on his breakthrough. With his observation, it will take Fang Lin at least around 5 days to finish his breakthrough. Putting Thea in there might distract his disciple.

While he was hoisting Thea on his shoulders, Wang Hao decided to manipulate the time flow on his spatial pocket. Wang Hao's time flow abil5ity on his spatial pocket depends on his current unsealed power.

One seal unlocked has a ratio of 1:20 on the spatial pocket, two seals has a ratio of 1:40 and three seals has a ratio of 1:80. This doubling up pattern continues until the unlocking of the tenth seal. With this current capabilities, he was able to do it at a ratio of 1:60, which means 1 second outside will be 60 seconds or 1 minute inside.

Wang Hao was already bored of waiting for his disciple, so he used the time flow to make his wait shorter.

Of course with the current suppression of the seal, Wang Hao can only use the time flow ability on his spatial pocket. He can only use this ability on combat once more seals were unlocked.

While he was thinking of this, Wang Hao saw that he already arrived back at the spirit ship. He gave a satisfied smirk to Long Juo as he said,

"Did you see that bro? I, Wang Hao wiped them away with a flick of my arm!"

"Did you really wipe them all out?" Long Juo replied with his eyes twitching from anger. His gaze was focused on the unconscious Thea. "It seems like you left one though."

"She still have a use for me." Wang Hao replied quickly.

The temperature in the room dropped quickly after he said that. Wang Hao could only look bewilderedly as he saw all the females in the spirit ship, including Long Juo giving Wang Hao a murderous look.

"Umm.... did I say something wrong?" Wang Hao asked with as he bore the brunt of countless killing intent on him.

"You're so shameless!" Xue'er said as she gave Thea a sympathetic look. She then glared at Wang Hao as she declared,

"With all of us here, do not even think of touching even a hair from her!" Bloodspear took this as an opportunity to snatch Thea from Wang Hao's clutches. He then rushed and entered the most luxurious of the rooms in the spirit ship.

He laid Thea there while the other girls peppered Wang Hao with their glares. Bloodspear then left the room as he rejoined the other girls.

"Wait! Are you really thinking I spared her because I wanted to 'play' with her?" Wang Hao complained to them.

"Yes we think that you will do that!" That was their unanimous reply.

"Do you think I am that kind of person?"

"Yes!"

It took Wang Hao half an hour for him to present some convoluted reasons on why he saved Thea. In the end he even swore an oath saying that he had no plans to force himself on Thea.

Only when he did that that he was allowed to approach her.

Wang Hao entered the room that Thea was in. He admired her beautiful visage as he said to himself that she was a good loot.

After feasting his eyes on her for a minute, Wang Hao decided to dispel the effects of the medicine.

He clicked his fingers as a formless gas was released on the vial that he held. It crept up to Thea's nose that which then dispersed the effects of the medicine that put her to sleep.

Minutes passed by and Thea stirred as she started to be awake. She raised her upper body as she looked around her. She then paused as she clutched her head in pain. She let out a wail as she shouted in agony.

"Ahhhh!!!!!!!"

Her eyes then rolled back on her head as she lost unconsciousness again.

"..."

Wang Hao could only stare wide-eyed at what happened.

"I just woke you up, and then you pass out again?"

He then heard sounds of footsteps as the door to the room opened once more. More people filled the room, clearly attracted by the shout made by Thea earlier.

Xue'er, who was among the first one to enter the room, gave Wang Hao her killer glare as she uttered,

"Once a pervert, always a pervert."

Now, it took Wang Hao 2 hours to prove his innocence. Only when he promised to meet Thea with them that they let him off.

Now, Wang Hao and the others waited for Thea to wake up. Wang Hao did not dare to use any medicine to wake her up, as he suspected that it may be the one that put her in pain.

Minutes passed by, and Wang Hao and the others saw signs of Thea waking up on her own.

This time, Thea woke up normally without any weird events.

"Hmmm?"

Wang Hao suddenly felt something was off with Thea. If it were Xue'er and Mina, they would have not noticed it. But Wang Hao who saw how Thea acted before she was kidnapped saw what was wrong.

The attitude of Thea in front of him was way different that the Thea he saw earlier.

The Thea that he saw earlier was a woman who was full of passion and vigor. She was glowing, and she was full of smiles as if her life was a great one.

The Thea in front of him now was looking at them with cool, indifferent eyes. Her movements looked methodical, as if she regarded everything around her with caution.

It was as if Thea became a different person.

What made Wang Hao more surprised was this cold version of Thea only lasted for around 5 seconds. After that time interval, she was back to her passionate personality.

After seeing this, Wang Hao thought to himself,

"Maybe it was just the shock of waking up...."

Wang Hao then decided to scan Thea with his energy sense. He does not know why, but he felt like he must do it.

Before he attacked the bandits earlier, Wang Hao scanned them with his energy sense. With that scan, he was able to memorize everything energy-related to them.

Wang Hao's eyes narrowed after scanning the current Thea with this energy sense.

Now he was sure something was wrong.

The soul aura of the current Thea was entirely different from the Thea earlier. No, different was the wrong term. Calling it modified was the proper term.

Wang Hao could still feel the former Thea's aura, but it was faint as it was covered by the current Thea's soul aura.

It was as if Thea's soul was changed fundamentally, like it was mixed with something else.

"Sigh..."

Thea's bizarre attitude after waking up combined with the change in her soul brought only one conclusion to Wang Hao.

"A person from other place died and woke up in this woman's body! In other words, she's a transmigrator![1]"

[1] A person who died and woke up in a different body.
