Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3332 After a full day of non-stop travel, Andrew and his group had crossed more than half of Holtrien and finally entered the mountain range where the Harmony Sect was located. The moment they truly stepped into its territory, Valerie gasped. " This place is absolutely stunning!" Eric said coldly, "Yeah, the scenery here is beautiful. But with this many beautiful women just waiting for us, is this a welcome...

or are they resting comfortably while waiting for us to walk into a trap?" "Harmony Sect welcomes the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince and his honored guests!" Hundreds of Harmony Sect disciples, every single one of them a woman, spoke in perfect unison. Led by a breathtakingly stunning woman at the front, they bowed gracefully toward Andrew and his group The whole thing caught everyone off guard, including Andrew himself. They had all braced for a confrontation, a fight, or at the very least a tense standoff.

Instead, they were met with a reception that was not just polite but downright elaborate. Andrew actually felt a little thrown off by it. He stepped forward ---- and addressed the woman at the front. "Excuse me, would you happen to be Madam Dorothy Fontaine, the head of Harmony Sect?" Dorothy's beautiful eyes lit up as she looked Andrew over, clearly liking what she saw more and more with each passing second. She replied in a soft, almost coy voice, "I'm Dorothy Fontaine, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, Mr. Andrew Lloyd." Andrew gave a respectful nod.

"Madam Fontaine, we came in such a rush that | didn't bring anything as a proper gift, and | sincerely apologize for that. Once things settle down and you visit Chetvine, the Lloyd family and | will absolutely make it up to you." Dorothy covered her mouth and let out a light, melodic laugh. " Mr. Lloyd, you're far too kind. You're on our turf now, so if anyone should be playing host, it's us." Then, she gestured and added, "Please, everyone, come right in." With Dorothy leading the way, Andrew and his group followed her into the lush, fragrant valley where the Harmony Sect was nestled.

Nyx, Valerie, and Rowan all looked around in pure amazement. The scenery was almost too beautiful to feel real. Nyx sighed dreamily. "I feel like | just walked into the Garden of ---- Eden." Valerie laughed softly. "Nyx, we're in Holtrien. We don't really do the Garden of Eden here. If anything, this place is like something straight out of a fairy tale." Jerome quickened his pace and fell into step beside Andrew, whispering, "Andy, something about the scent of these flower petals doesn't feel right. And Harmony Sect is being way too friendly.

We have to stay alert." Andrew replied calmly, "Mr. Thorton, | know what I'm doing. Also, tell Eric not to get too close to the flowers along the path. It has an aphrodisiac effect, and it only works on men." Jerome was startled and quickly went back to warn Eric. After hearing this, Eric muttered under his breath, "Harmony Sect is really playing dirty. But the person they're truly targeting probably isn't us both, it's Andrew." Before long, the group was escorted into the Harmony Sect's grand reception hall. It was clearly the space reserved for their most distinguished visitors.

Dorothy sat at the head of the room in a flowing, pale yellow dress that moved as if it had a life of its own. She looked like an innocent young girl as she smiled at Andrew. She said gently, "Mr. Lloyd, you and your group have had quite a ---- long journey. Let's not get into business just yet. Why don't you all stay the night here at Harmony Sect and rest up? We can talk tomorrow. How does that sound?" Andrew smiled politely. "Madam Fontaine, | appreciate the offer, but things are a little too urgent for that.

| think it's best we get straight to the point." Eric mentally rolled his eyes at the suggestion. If they stayed the night in a place like this, surrounded by every one of these women, he was pretty sure he would not make it to morning in one piece. There was no way he could hold his own against this many of them coming at him all at once. Dorothy did not seem the least bit bothered by the refusal and kept right on smiling. However, Giovanni let out a sharp, dismissive scoff. "There is a saying that guests should follow the host's arrangements. Mr. Lloyd, you have traveled a long way.

Are you really going to turn down the host's arrangements just like that?" Andrew's expression remained calm as he turned his gaze toward Giovanni. "We are not here as guests. We came to invite the members of the Harmony Sect to join us and stand with us against a common threat. Holtrien is facing a crisis right now, and hiding away to live in comfort while that's happening? That's ---- not something a person of character does." Giovanni scoffed again. "Harmony Sect is a small, modest sect. We don't have the kind of strength needed to get involved ina full-scale war.

On top of that, we've always stayed out of the outside world's affairs. The military and the other major powers can handle the fighting. Harmony Sect is nothing but a group of weak women. Even if we went, we wouldn't be of any help." The meaning behind his words was obvious. He was clearly trying to distance Harmony Sect from any responsibility
