Sofia felt awkward when Severin looked at her like that. She felt as if she had exposed her body to him and said with some hesitation, "I do want to learn it, but I haven't decided just yet. How can you expect me to answer you that quickly when this involves me exposing my bare body to you?"
To her surprise, Severin said teasingly, "Didn't we already sleep with each other last night? Just do it. Don't overthink."
Sofia was lost for words. He was right in saying that they had slept together, but all they did was sleep—nothing else. The way he put it made it sound as though they had already gone all the way.
"Ugh, I never would've thought that someone a decent man like you would your indecent moments!" Sofia rolled her eyes bashfully and pretended to nag him. "Do you want your herbs or not? Someone else might get to it before you if you keep delaying."
Severin glanced at Sofia again and was relieved to find that she was not wearing her sect's uniform or token. Since they might meet some stronger members of other sects—and possibly even take those people's belongings or kill some of their members, it would be troublesome if any escapees recognized her as a member of the Stormy Moon Sect and targeted her sect later on.
"Let's fly over there." Severin rose two meters above the ground while Sofia followed closely behind him. In less than three minutes, the two of them arrived at the area where the fight was taking place. A valley with a river was situated some two to three hundred meters away, which could explain why there was not as much fog there.
The two of them soon saw eight practitioners attacking a spirit beast.
Severin smiled and said, "Oh? Well, thanks for your compliment! The spirit beast is a little overwhelmed by the eight people attacking it, but it does seem as though this battle might last for quite a while."
Sofia asked, "I suppose you mean it'll be easier for you to get it if you wait for them to fight it out a bit longer?"
Severin shook his head. "No. Can't you see the spiritual herb behind that spirit beast? It's a third-grade medium-rank spiritual herb. It's pretty obvious why they're so desperate to get it. The herb is just by the river, and since there's so much fog around here, we could just swim over there sneakily and take it..."
