Chapter 1922 Lie Down

Chapter 1922 Lie Down

Ryu stared right into Wobbling Fairy's eyes, seemingly not noticing her naked body at all. Wobbling Fairy could see every bit of his intention within them. He didn't look at her like the beauty she was, or even like a woman at all; all he saw was a tool to get stronger.

Wobbling Fairy was quite experienced herself—in terms of life experience, that is. She had seen all sorts of people, and her Dao also made her quite capable of seeing the true side of people. So, it wasn't as though she had never seen men like Ryu before... men who cared more about their cultivation realms than anything else, men with ambition enough that no woman could sway them from their goals.

But still, something felt different right now.

She could also tell that it wasn't that Ryu was incapable of feeling love, it was just that he was incapable of caring enough about her to aim any of the affection he might have toward her.

In fact, she could even tell that had Ryu been in a different mental state, he might not have cared to take her up on her offer at all. And yet, despite this, he was still drawing such a clear line.

Selfish. Passionate. Arrogant. And more than a few sprinkles of chauvinism.

That was how she summarized the man before her, and she doubted that even Ryu himself would reject it.

Wobbling Fairy remained silent for a long while before replying honestly.

"I will do whatever it takes to grow strong."

Her answer was quite clear. It had taken this long in her life to run into just a single Ryu, so the odds were clearly not in her favor. However, if she did run into such a man, Ryu's words certainly wouldn't be what held her back from using him.

What was unexpected, though, was that Ryu didn't have a fierce reaction to this at all. He reacted as though he either hadn't heard her, didn't understand the underlying intention in her words, or simply didn't give a damn. Rêađ latest cha/p/ters at novelhall.com

And that was when she remembered.

Ryu wasn't forcing her to choose between either him or a future with another man. He was making her choose between either following his rules or facing his wrath in the future.

~'There is no room for regret, because the moment you do, I will make your life a living hell...'~

Those words he had spoken echoed in her mind, and she almost didn't register the questions Ryu asked after the fact at all.

Ryu had long released her chin and sat across from her, his eyes deadpan. He didn't speak again, and she was forced to go back into her memories to replay what had just happened.

How could she end up so distracted as a Dao Sovereign? What was she thinking? Someone could have easily killed her in that moment had they had the strength, and she was pretty sure that Ryu's gaze was sharp enough to see through that.

"What is so special about your Constitution that it would allow me such a breakthrough?"

It had to be remembered that Ryu found his Perfect Blackbody Soul in the Death Shrine. Before that, he had thought that his soul talent was piss poor, and he even had to reforge his own soul into the Indestructible Soul.

However, somehow, the foundation he laid for his Indestructible Soul became precisely what he needed to fuse back with his real soul as though it had all been planned out...

He didn't understand that at all, and it was more than just a little bit fishy to him.

Unexpectedly, whatever happened to his Perfect Blackbody Soul while it was away had left it littered with impurities. At least... that was Wobbling Fairy's description of it, because Ryu himself couldn't even sense anything at all.

Ryu was truly shocked to find out his body had impurities at all.

When he first started his cultivation journey, he refused to use anything but Spiritual Herbs. Then, when he finally started using Pills, he refined them personally and never took anything with less than 100% purity.

As such, in his view, his body was a mask of perfection.

It was more acceptable to him that his Spiritual Foundation and Meridians would have such issues. After all, they were both connected to lands far from himself, plus had been influenced by many foreign objects.

But his soul? He had never considered it.

What he didn't expect was the fact that the world of Impurities was far more unfathomable than he knew... and he couldn't help but wonder what it would mean for all of these to be taken away.

Now, though... the question was how best to take advantage of this.

Using Wobbling Fairy to reach the Peak of the Perfect Sky God Realm was obvious enough, but then what would he do with the rest of that latent energy?

"Lie down. We can begin now."

Wobbling Fairy nodded slowly. She lay on the grass and opened her legs. Her gaze was calm, and it was clear that while her Dao Heart in this state was incredibly fragile, that was only because it was far too hard and rigid.

When she made a decision, she wouldn't change it.

Ryu looked at her for a long while, seemingly trying to get into the mood. But then he shook his head.

Wobbling Fairy frowned. It was hard for her not to take it as a bit of an insult, but what came next was an even worse insult.

Ryu actually summoned another woman from thin air and then smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Lord Husband," Eska blinked with surprise.

"Eska..." Ryu said softly.
