Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: You can’t enter this place! (EDITED)
Eleanor took a look at the little girl with concern and said to Asher, “Young Master, please ignore Lily’s words; kids are curious sometimes, so they enter that place and scare themselves; we always warn them not to go there again.”

Oswald stared at the shed with utter nervousness and warned Asher, “Young Master, please don’t go there; it is unsafe because that shed is old and has a lot of dirt. We just store trash there.”

Oswald was nervous when he saw Asher focusing on the shed. He feared that he would look into it when Lily pointed at the shed.

Asher ignored his warning and asked Eleanor, “Can I check that place?”

“Young Master, It is dirty and unsafe; you shouldn’t go there.” Eleanor warned him in a serious tone.

Oswald became frightened as Asher asked to check the shed.

Asher just shook his head and stated, “Don’t worry, Ms.Eleanor, I am just curious about what kids find scary there.”

Eleanor became speechless when he wanted to check out that place, despite her warning.

Oswald interrupted right away, “Young Master, you shouldn’t waste time checking the shed; kids are curious sometimes; that is why they entered that place and became scared.”

Asher glared at Oswald with a cold glare. He didn’t say anything to him and commanded his maid, “Nadia, go check that place.”

Nadia acknowledged his order and walked towards that shed with no fear in her eyes.

Eleanor looked at Oswald as he appeared agitated, with beads of sweat on his forehead. In contrast, Lily became silent and hugged Asher’s neck while peeping at the scary shed.

“Stop! Young Master, there is nothing inside the shed to look at except some trash. Please don’t go there. It’s just a waste of your precious time; there are other places you can visit in this orphanage.” Oswald tried to prevent Nadia, and he appeared desperate.

Eleanor could just watch in silence as he acted weird and began to get anxious.

Asher started to get annoyed as he tried to stop Nadia from investigating the shed, but he managed his frustration and ordered her by mind transmission, ‘Nadia, be careful.’

She replied, ‘Young Master, don’t worry; I will check it.’

She approached the shed and scrutinized the vicinity, noticing trash everywhere.

Asher also followed behind her with the curious Eleanor, while Oswald was unwilling to go but proceeded as he tried his best to contain his agitated emotions.

Upon seeing the shed, Lily hid her cute face on Asher’s shoulder and trembled in fear.

Eleanor looked at Lily when she saw her tremble with nervousness. She comforted her in a soothing voice, “Lily, don’t be afraid; there is nothing scary; it’s just trash that may hurt you if you are not careful.”

Asher also patted her tiny head to comfort her and said in a soft voice, “Lily, don’t be scared. Big Brother will protect you.”

She calmed down after Asher comforted her.

When Nadia arrived in front of the shed, she circulated Spirit Essence Energy and released her aura, moving all the trash away to the side and clearing a path to step into the shed.

After that, Nadia again circulated Spirit Essence Energy in her palm to emit a ball of light, illuminating the dark interior of the shed.

Her eyes skimmed over everything that was inside the shed. She soon detected a faint, hidden aura. Anyone below an Origin Realm would be fooled by the aura from the hidden formation, so if she had not been a Saint Realm cultivator, she would not have noticed it.

Nadia wasted no time in demolishing the formation with little effort, exposing a door on a floor in the shed’s corner that led to the subterranean chamber’s stairs.

Asher looked at Oswald with hatred after discovering the underground secret chamber in the shed, as he knew what it was used for.

“Why is there a secret room underground in the shed?” Eleanor questioned Oswald; she was curious.

He got uneasy when he observed Nadia destroy the formation and uncover the secret room underground in the shed.

Oswald grew irritated when Eleanor questioned him regarding the secret room, but he didn’t want it to be connected to him, so he lied, “I don’t know anything about that secret room as this old place was donated to the foundation to be used for the orphanage.”

Eleanor looked at Oswald with suspicious eyes upon listening to his explanation.

Asher glared at Oswald with a piercing gaze and stated in an indifferent way, “Mr. Oswald, why lie? There is a formation to conceal a secret chamber in the shed, and it requires cultivation knowledge to create formations.”

Oswald got quite scared at Asher’s accusation and denied it in an intense tone, “Young Master, I am telling the truth; I don’t know anything about this. Anyways, it’s just a trashy place we should leave.”

Asher just continued to look at that place as Nadia opened the door.

Seeing that, Oswald panicked and exclaimed, “Young Master, there is nothing valuable or dangerous inside the shed. Maybe someone threw a formation plate here as trash, and it was activated by accident.”

Eleanor looked at him and became anxious and wondered, ‘What is Oswald hiding?’

Asher glared at the man and instructed his maid, “Nadia, check that place.”

Nadia acknowledged her young master’s order.

“Stop. You can’t enter this place.” Yet Oswald shouted and blocked her path. “Young Master, you shouldn’t barge and inspect others’ property without permission.”

Oswald tried to stop her; he was desperate because he feared that Asher would discover his crimes in the underground chamber in the shed.

Asher smiled at him, irritated, and said, “Mr. Oswald, this shed is orphanage property, so everyone has the right to check it.”

Oswald denied, “No, Young Master, you can’t do that; this is my property.”

Eleanor became puzzled when Oswald said the shed belonged to him.

Seeing him yell at her young master, Nadia became enraged. Before going down into the subterranean chamber, she moved him aside with ease and used her aura to immobilize him while he was blocking her path.

Feeling himself immobilized by Nadia, Oswald looked at her with horror. He couldn’t move any part of his body due to that, and so once she pushed him aside, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Eleanor was amazed when Nadia immobilized Oswald, making her wonder, ‘Who is this Maid of Young Master Asher Blake? She is powerful, as despite being a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, Oswald wasn’t able to do anything.’
