The storm raged on but as time pa.s.sed by, it dissipated. Leaving a pinkish aftermath in its wake. Inside the room, the reunited pair of husband and wife laid beside each other, engaged in an embrace, Natalie mumbled, "Juliet missed you..." Dan turned around and ruffled her hair. The sensation of security and warmth made her narrow her eyes as Dan said, "I also missed her, is she eating well? How is she now, and where is she?"
When she heard his question, complicated emotions surfaced on her glazed visage, her eyes shone in an uncertain light as she asked in a hushed voice, "Do you really accept, Juliet, you"re still young, I think that you would be better off without acknowledging her..."
Dan"s expression reddened in anger, "Are you seriously saying that to me?" Natalie"s figure s.h.i.+vered, and she hung her head low as she continued, "I just think that you deserve better than me, apart from having a beautiful figure, I don"t think there"s anything good about me..."
Hearing her soft voice that was laden with guilt and shame, Dan"s expression softened, patting her head, he said, "There"s this famous saying in our clan. It says that once you love someone, you should love her dog." Natalie narrowed her eyes, savoring the sensation. But when she heard what he said, she opened her eyes and frowned,
"So you"re saying that Juliet is like a dog?"
"Ermm," Dan scratched his head, he lifted a stone and dropped it on his own foot, "I don"t mean it like that, the saying says that if you love someone that has a kin, you should also love their kin."
Dan explained and Natalie"s lips lifted a small smile in response, "Even though you"re saying that I bet once you see a woman that is beautiful than me, you will definitely pursue her."
Dan wryly smiled, "Am I really that unreliable?"
Natalie chuckled, "You"re still confused if you"re reliable or not when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps? Remember your reputation at the Empire of Dawn, literally everyone talks behind your back about how devious and l.u.s.tful you are..."
Dan"s expression darkened, indeed, the previous owner of this body indulged in debauchery to the extent that his name was used by parents to scare their daughters from going out. Sighing in his heart, he a.s.sumed a pitiful expression and stared at Natalie.
Natalie saw his expression and lightly chuckled, "I know, I know about what you are going to say, but it"s fine. If the time comes that you get tired of me, I just hope that you take care of Juliet..." Her expression turned somber, and a deep sigh came from her mouth.
The coldness and sharpness that she acquired from her relentless cultivation, dissipated. Right now, she was just a frail young woman that needs her husband"s protection.
Dan gave a bitter smile, stretching his hand out, he flicked her forehead, causing her to flinch in pain, "Get tired of you? That should be my line, look at you, acting cold and domineering, earlier. Your cultivation is even a stage higher than me!"
Staring at her husband"s despondent expression, an ambiguous smile lifted on her lips as she said, "Well, that"s true, that"s why we need to work hard,"
Dan lifted an eyebrow, "Work hard in?"
Natalie pulled him closer and mumbled these magical words in his ears which made him energetic in a matter of seconds, "Dual-Cultivation, of course."
This time, she took the lead, and the cold and domineering facade of Natalie disappeared as her figure, violently twisted above him. Fortunately for Dan, before he was sucked dry. Daybreak arrived and Natalie begrudgingly separated from him.
Walking outside, the two of them took a bath and invited Caitlyn along with Charlotte, for a breakfast inside the Black Wing Gang"s pavilion.
The members of the Black Wing Gang stared at their leader with strange eyes. Just yesterday, their leader declared that he would be irreconcilable towards the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang and towards that young man, but now, his expression void of arrogance as he approached Caitlyn and her members, acting subservient like a host.
Numerous dishes laid atop the table, the quality, comparable to the meals that Charlotte frequently ate back at the residence. This made the group, particularly Dan, who had the lowest cultivation, excited.
The dishes served were spiritual meals that could aid in his cultivation. After feasting, he could even feel his power, boiling up to the peak. Turning towards Blackie, he said, "Since everything went well, I suppose that Senior Blackie would allow us to use the Spatial Tunneling Device, right?"
Blackie choked in his own saliva, the matter about him refusing Dan made him ashamed of himself. Scratching his chin in awkwardness, He replied, "Of course, young master, you can use it whenever you want..."
"Good," Dan nodded his head before continuing, "Prepare it now, since we"re going back home after this meal," His gaze darted at Charlotte, and upon hearing his words, her expression brightened up in excitement. She had enough of this place and the only thing that she wanted was to see her father, again.
Glancing at Dan, her cheeks reddened and her eyes flashed in a melancholic light. The time that they spent together wasn"t so long, but it wasn"t so short either. In that short span of time, he made her learn a vital lesson in life and even made her more confident about herself.
Her gaze swept over at the smiling Natalie who sat beside him. As a fellow woman, she knew that the gazes that Natalie used to look at Dan were different, and after she heard those strange panting noises coming out of their room, yesterday. She knew that their relations.h.i.+p was deeper than people would expect.
The group completed their meal and it was time for their farewells, standing inside the Spatial Tunneling Formation, Dan held the Formation Disc and stared at Caitlyn with complicated emotions rising within his eyes. Charlotte looked the same, she felt reluctant about leaving this place.
Witnessing their somber expressions, Caitlyn chuckled and said, "Don"t worry, I left some of my duties with Blackie so I can venture out and live my life,"
"Since we"ll be meeting soon, anyway, don"t miss me too much..." Caitlyn sweetly smiled and Dan nodded his head and activated the Formation Disc.
Resplendent lights enveloped the three and with a flash of bright light. Their figures disappeared from the Black Wing Gang.
Staring at the empty place where they once stood. Blackie stretched his hand out and ruffled Caitlyn"s head, "It"s okay, didn"t I say that I"ll help you manage this place first? You"re still young, I want you to experience the world before you come back and offer yourself to me..."
Caitlyn lifted her head and stared at Blackie"s softened expression, raising her hands, she cupped his chin and said in a teasing tone, "After I leave, you better not flirt or do it with other girls, or else..."
A chill ran through Blackie"s body and he furiously nodded his head like chicken pecking rice. His panicked expression made the young maiden chuckle in delight.
