Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2000

Emery recalled vividly her master's advice during that challenging time, where she was told that confronting the problem head-on was the best way to overcome her inner turmoil. However, Emery hesitated to immediately fulfill her part of her bet, believing that she could conquer her traumatic experience without any help.

Alas, the outcome was a resounding failure. Since her defeat to Severin, Emery found her progress becoming stagnant. There was even a decline in her success rate of refining the sixth-grade medium-rank Crystal Spring Pill.

In her helpless desperation, Emery finally accepted reality. Letting go of the trauma after Severin's defeat would require her to face the situation head-on. After days of internal struggle, a recent surge of terrifying swordwill on the Seventh Mountain caught her attention, and it later transpired to her that Severin was behind that.

Emery's master, Daniella, insisted that Severin possessed the potential to become a celestial, which only highlighted the vast gap between Emery and Severin. Realizing that she would forever live in Severin's shadow unless she confronted the trauma of her defeat, Emery decided to come to Pearl Light Isle and fulfill her bet.

Though it was an outright embarrassment for the Sixth Mountain's alchemy genius to work as a maid and maid, Emery needed to consider the bigger picture. In Daniella's opinion, being a maid to someone as gifted as Severin—who had a Divine Constitution, exceptional alchemical ability, and incredible swordsmanship—was an opportunity not to be missed. For those reasons, Emery felt aggrieved by Severin's response.

With the token in hand, Emery's expression reflected a mix of her hesitation, unwillingness, and humiliation. She stood rooted to the ground and watched as Severin's figure vanished from sight. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm here already. Why else should I hesitate? Master told me that Severin was the most talented alchemist the sect had seen in the past ten thousand years. He might have already gained that knowledge passed down from the Alchemy Tower. I hope I won't regret this decision."

Emery clutched the token in her hand and pursed her lips as she entered Pearl Light Isle with determination.
