Chapter 1805 Talent
Clara's small fist slammed against his chest before quickly hiding her embarrassed expression in Dyon's collarbone. She quickly found her position to be quite relaxing, especially because of Dyon's cinnamon and pine scent.
Because she was a celestial, much of the mortal impurities had long been washed from Clara's body. Her body wasn't capable of producing a foul smell even if she tried. So, she could only admit that Dyon was right… The smell really was too… fragrant.
"This is your fault." She mumbled. "Now I'll have to replace my dress. Aren't you supposed to be the Ruler of 131 universes? Do you have time to tease your wife like this?"
Dyon smiled, taking a lock of Clara's hair and sniffing lightly. He felt that his entire body was comfortable. Spirit bodies reached a realm of perfection most humans could not, so of course Clara had such an effect with both her wind and fire spirit bodies.
"Of course!" Dyon said confidently. "I'll always have time."
Clara shook her head, relaxing her thighs' grip on Dyon's hips as her fire will vanquished her 'fragrant juices' to another realm. In fact, it took her dress and undergarments along with it, but the beautiful sight of her perfect body vanished in an instant as she used an array to form a new dress.
It was actually quite impressive. Despite having her true constitution for less than a year, Clara had already charged all the way up to the 8th Fire Intent Realm. And that was without relying on Dyon for dual cultivation and wasting four months watching Dyon fight. Those with Fire Spirit Bodies were truly unmatched in this vein.
This wasn't all either, her cultivation speed had reached another level. Just about a year ago she was still a first stage celestial, now she was on the verge of entering the fourth stage.
Interestingly enough, this was accounting for her slowing herself down as well. After knowing the truth of her qi talent, Clara was taking the time to diligently train her body to have it catch up. Only then could she display her true strength.
Dyon pouted. "Hours of hard work gone…"
"Fuck off…" Clara almost growled, clearly sexually frustrated. But her pouting expression only made Dyon's grin widen.
"Did you really only come here to frustrate me? I have work to do, you know."
"I can't check on my wife without any ulterior motives? What kind of man do you think I am?"
Clara glared at him.
"Okay, okay. I just wanted to tell you that a few researchers have big projects I've set them on, so it's fine to allocate some more funds to them."
Clara frowned. "With the explosion in the population and the hundreds of renovations we have to do across 98 universes, even the 30 universes worth of resources is being pushed to its limit. At this rate, we'll be broke in half a millennium."
Dyon grinned. "Look at you, worrying about something that will happen 500 years later. Plus, with 98 universes come 98 more universes worth of resources. It won't be a problem with Researcher Ton's maps."
"How much more?" Clara rolled her eyes, not responding directly.
"Triple their budgets."
Black lines began to form on Clara's forehead, but in the end, she sighed.
"Come fuck me, pervert. I'm not doing any work until I'm satisfied."
Somehow, Dyon found he quite liked Clara's vulgar language. His clothes disappeared in the blink of an eye as he stood at attention.
A man ready to accomplish his solemn duty.
"Mother! You're looking quite beautiful today."
Dyon smiled brightly. He had taken to the habit of calling Kawa, Ri's mother, mother as well. Since she insisted, he might as well.
Considering how strained his other parent in law relationships were, it was good to have at least one by his side.
Amphorae's mother was dead and her father was practically his mortal enemy. Clara's parents were dead largely because of him. Ri's father had a strained relationship with Dyon because of various complex reasons. After all, how could a man who called himself King feel comfortable around the young man who saved his Kingdom after he was incompetent?
Finally, there was no need to mention Madeleine's parents. Whether foster or biological, Dyon had had a falling out with all four of them. The former pair tried to kill him, while the latter pair was god knows where, disappearing after Dyon gave them a scolding.
In the end, only Kawa gave Dyon any real warmth.
After becoming a true Celestial Fox, Kawa had become quite the beauty. Though she was already beautiful before, it had been greatly enhanced.
Her blue hair and eyes had become a cascading, almost silvery white. Her body gave off far more vitality. And, more important, she could enter her human form once more.
With the speed of cultivation of celestial beasts, and the fact Kawa didn't have to face any tribulations, she should have already reached the celestial realm. But, since she was practicing Dyon's [Inner World: Sanctuary] technique to become one of his Demon General Vice Commanders, she was still currently in the meridian formation realm.
Luckily, because of Dyon's Martial Saint Pill, and the fact she took his advice of training up her soul before activating this portion of the technique, it would only be another year at most before her cultivation unsealed.
There was another reason it would be so quick as well. Recently, Dyon had enlisted Luna's help to give her a portion of his Mortal Clan's talent!
Because her body cultivation and qi cultivation were now connected, Kawa could greatly speed up the breaking of the seals by training her body.
"Ah! If it isn't my favorite son-in-law." Kawa smiled deviously, she truly looked like a beautiful fox.
Currently, they stood in the Elvin Clans' lands. This castle was lived in by Ri's parents, and Ri herself would stay here whenever she had work to accomplish.
Dyon feigned hurt. "You have more than one son-in-law? This is devastating."
Kawa walked to Dyon, pinching his ear. "If you keep neglecting my little girl like this, I really might have to get me another one."
Dyon bowed solemnly. "Yes, mother. I promise!"
