Ruthless knew Meng Chuan well—far better than he realized.
After all, she had spent a great deal of time with him.
In Ruthless's life, Meng Chuan was undoubtedly one of the people who had spent the most time with her, and one of those who had cared for her the most.
Well, "one of" in both cases.
After all, Ruthless's Brother was also there. Her older brother was special.
And if one counted everyone, others could arguably be said to have kept Ruthless company for just as long.
The Dao Realm People, for instance, had always stayed in the Dao Realm with her. In a sense, that counted as companionship.
Even if it was the kind where they rarely met or spoke unless something came up.
Then there was the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, who had ruled the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land before Ruthless. He had spent an even longer time in the same place as her.
After all, when Ruthless took over the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she saved him, and he effectively entered her service.
But the way Ruthless and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body lived together in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was peculiar.
One sought to explore the Red Dust Immortal Path; the other tried to suppress the ominous affliction in his body and hold back the passage of time.
They could go thousands, even tens of thousands of years without exchanging a word. They were more isolated than the Dao Realm People cultivating on their own.
Apart from the period just after Ruthless took over the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body spent most of his time asleep.
Time and the ominous affliction were the greatest enemies of this Forbidden Zone Supreme. He clearly could not keep living as Ruthless did.
