Chapter 306 Humph! Trying to fool me!

Alice wasn't sure if what William said was true or false, but she had no choice but to take it as truth.

When she tried to help William, he waved his hand and said, "No need to help, it's late. Let's go back."

"Oh," was all Alice could say, following behind William without daring to ask or say more. n//0veLb1n

She didn't dare mention the incident where she had kissed William forcefully either.

They hadn't walked far when William suddenly said, "You go ahead, I want to walk alone for a while."

Alice quickly responded, "Master, aren't you injured? I'll take you home."

William replied indifferently, "I've just lost my superpowers; walking isn't an issue. You go ahead."

"But didn't you say I should always stay by your side from now on?" Alice pouted, feeling that William was even colder towards her than before. Was it because of what happened earlier?

William slowly turned his head to look at her, his gaze cold and distant, and said, "When I said to stay by my side, I meant during the day. What time is it now? Don't you need to go home to sleep?"

"I can take you home and sleep at your place... I'll sleep on the sofa... I don't need the bed..." Alice was about to continue, but she felt as if William's gaze already saw through everything. It wasn't cold, but it clearly kept her at a distance, making her swallow the rest of her words.

"I... I'll just go home then, Master. Please be careful on your way..." Alice said, sounding pitiful and dejected, her voice growing fainter.

William also felt a headache coming on. Alice's pitiful look was genuinely heart-wrenching, but he didn't know what to do in that moment.

Being forcefully kissed by his disciple was a first in his long life. It seemed he hadn't been strict enough!

Surely he couldn't just send Alice away or never see her again because of this incident. He didn't really mind what had happened,he could just chalk it up to Alice being drunk and acting crazy.

But he knew he had to be stricter with her in the future!

He believes that as long as Alice feels the authority of him as a master, this girl will definitely stop her wild thoughts.

William continued walking without looking back, only to realize that Alice hadn't left but was following him from a distance.

Perhaps she was genuinely worried about him.

Oh well! Let her be!

William wasn't really the type to be overly rigid. Having lived for a billion years yet always keeping up with the times, he was essentially open to almost anything.

He didn't bother to deliberately do anything in particular and just let things take their natural course.

William walked all the way home, with Alice following him the entire journey.

When William arrived at his house at around 2:30 in the morning, instead of going straight to bed, he sat in the wingback chair under the wutong tree in his yard.

"Come in," William called out in an even tone.

Only then did Alice timidly poke her head out, giving William a bright smile: "Master, surprise or not?"

Without even lifting his head, William said, "If you want to sleep, go inside. If not, you can stay here and train to enhance your abilities using the methods I've taught you."

Alice had previously promised William to diligently work on improving her strength. But now William was telling her she could go to sleep?

Hmm, she knew that there was only one bed in William's house, and she rarely entered his bedroom in the past.

"I'll go inside and work on improving my abilities!" Alice chuckled, her mood instantly lifted, and she skipped happily into William's bedroom.

William sat there, sighing softly. So much for being strict.

Is that it?

After Alice ran into William's room, she looked at the bed, smiled broadly, and flung herself onto it.

Sniffing lightly, her smile grew even wider. She could faintly smell a pleasant scent, indescribable but lovely, just like William's own scent.

This is nice!

"I better work on improving my abilities, or I'll get scolded again," Alice thought, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had realized that William's superpowers probably hadn't been nullified. He was such a trickster – if he had really lost his powers, how did he know she was sneakily following him?

Humph! Trying to fool me!

With this thought, Alice no longer worried about William and sat on the bed to start her training to enhance her abilities.

William had his own considerations. In this world, the best place for enhancing abilities was probably his bedroom.

Although he usually suppressed his energy, he completely relaxed while sleeping, causing everything in his bedroom to inevitably be imbued with some of his residual energy.

Alice, having just grasped a part of the secret sword techniques tonight, would surely achieve a multiplied effect in her ability enhancement if she trained in his room.

William had already done enough for Alice. She had changed her fate because of him, and in the future, she was bound to face great tribulations. When that time came, William absolutely could not intervene again,everything would depend on her. If her own strength was not sufficient, she might indeed meet a terrible fate.

Currently, William was certain that Zoey was a reincarnation of Artemis. The method she inherited for enhancing abilities was genuine, but William didn't necessarily have to rekindle their past relationship. After the incident with Evelyn, he had thoroughly understood this.

As dawn approached, Alice was still meditating with her eyes closed. During her shallow breaths, mysterious runes from around the room seemed to enter her body.

If the gods from the age of deities saw this scene, they would surely be envious. These were fragments of cosmic truths!

For a mortal to absorb so many fragments of cosmic truths was practically a waste.

The fragments of cosmic truths contained only the power of various laws and did not impact one's strength directly. A mid-level Soulmancer, even absorbing so many cosmic truth fragments, would find it difficult to comprehend them, so the benefits gained were not significant.

However, if a Quasi-Deity were to enhance their abilities in this room for a month, there was a high probability of them becoming a true deity.

Alice was completely unaware of the great fortune she had stumbled upon and continued to contemplate the sword strike she had used to kill Wesley.

The sword strike she had delivered in extreme anger needed to be re-understood and felt.

She couldn't always need to accumulate anger to use this move.

When she opened her eyes, exhaling deeply, a smile appeared on her face.

For some reason, when she recalled the sword strike she had delivered and the ones William had used in Ravenwood, her mental state reached an unprecedented level of clarity.

Especially when understanding William's previous sword strikes, she truly felt as if she had swung those swords herself. That strong sense of connection deepened her comprehension of swordsmanship.

In just one night, a small golden sword-like object appeared in the space of her consciousness, signifying she was now on a path distinctly different from other Soulmancers.
