The Ultimate Husband
Chapter 5568

Chapter 5568

Debra was displeased to hear how Scitalis addressed her. In the olden days, ’wifey' was a

title for a husband to call his wife. When a stranger called a lady with that title, it sounded

frivolous and rude.

Due to Scitalis' queer appearance, Debra could not bother to fuss and nodded to his

question. "Yes, I'm the Sect Master of the Hidden Hero Sect." 'Sect Master?’ Scitalis' eyes

flashed with a hint of peril and said excitingly," So you're the Sect Master! My name is

Scitalis. I came to explore this area two hundred years ago, but I've never gone up ever

since."

Scitalis was a lustful being. He purposely made up a fake identity to get closer to Debra.

Debra and Rachelle's expressions changed into extreme shock. 'This man... is a disciple

who came to explore two hundred years ago?'

Debra examined Scitalis and could not help but ask, "Then, how...did you end up looking

like this?"

If Scitalis did not explain himself, there was no difference between him and a monster.

Scitalis took a deep breath. He lowered his head to pretend to reminisce, but what he was

actually doing was that he was thinking of what to say next.

After a few seconds, Scitalis slowly and solemnly explained, "Allow me, Sect Master.

"When I entered this cave, I accidentally ate a mushroom in this cave and got poisoned,

changing my appearance.Jnto this. It was a very unique mushroom that only grows out

every three years."

As a spiritual serpent, Scitalis was sneaky and sly. He knew two hundred years were not

too short nor too short and there was no way to investigate. Thus, he unscrupulously

started to spout nonsense.

A mushroom? Debra and Rachelle exchanged looks with each other.

Immediately, they looked around the walls of the cave in an attempt to find the mushroom

Scitalis was referring to. After a round of searching, they did not even spot mushrooms-all

they saw were those dark cyan igneous rocks.

Rachelle's eyebrows furrowed as she said, "I don't see any mushrooms!" "Haha..." Scitalis

laughed and continued with his lie, "After surviving the poison, I took them all and

destroyed them in fear someone else would wander here and eat them." 'So that's what

happened,' both Rachelle and Debra thought.

Debra nodded silently, failing to realize that Scitalis had lied. As her eyes gleamed with

hope, she asked, "Does that mean those people who came after you are still alive?"

If those people who came down to explore were still alive, maybe they could leave this

hellhole as soon as possible. The more people, the stronger the power!

Scitalis pretended to sigh sadly and said gloomily, "The others are dead. Other than the

lethal poisonous fog, there's another scary monster here.

"The monster is in the underground river outside of this cave. It's massive and has

terrifying abilities. Those who came after me either ended up dead because they inhaled

the poisonous fog or were killed by the monster in the river."

A despondent expression overtook his features. "I wanted to help them, but I was

powerless."

He pretended to look sad while secretly monitoring Debra and Rachelle's expressions.

There was no monster in the river outside of the cave. For the last 2000 years, every

person who entered the cave was killed by him. He only made up a lie to gain Debra and

Rachelle's trust.

'What? There's a monster in the river?' Debra and Rachelle were shocked to hear that. For

some reason, they panicked.

Scitalis turned his eyes and continued to talk, "I'm not entirely sure where the monster

really is, but it seems to be deterred by the cries of a baby. That's why I pretended to cry

like a baby when I heard footsteps. I thought the monster was entering the cave."

Debra and Rachelle nodded.

Shortly, however, Rachelle thought of something.

"Wait... You said some people who came after you were dead because they inhaled the

poisonous fog. Why are you alright?"

Rachelle, being a careful thinker, realized a loophole in Scitalis" explanation.
