Chapter 964 - Second Earth?
"So, what"s the deal?" Alex asked.
"After altering his memory, I healed him a bit so he could leave as soon as possible. Before that, I observed him from afar, and he seemed to be muttering something regarding the Grayfig Family. I don"t know anything else."
"That"s good then." Alex nodded.
"Let me fix your cover first while we are waiting for Aria." She smiled.
Looking at her face that seemed to have returned to normal, Alex took her offer.
"Sit down." She smiled before glancing at Heilo. "Do you mind waiting?"
Heilo shook his head and leaped to the ground while licking the Deep Frozen Crystal.
"Is that Deep Frozen Crystal?" Silvia asked while inserting a few needles.
"Yeah. I found it. Do you need them?" Alex asked with a flat tone. He felt the need to pay her back, but he realized it would be rude to her, so he tried to give her something he wanted as a present instead. After all, if he said he wanted to give Alicia or any other girls a reward for doing something for him, they would be mad at him.
This was the only solution he could ask without looking down on her.
However, the latter only shook her head. "I don"t have any use for it. By the way, you have wives, right? If I am not wrong, they are the Nature G.o.ddess, Night b.u.t.terfly G.o.ddess, and Light b.u.t.terfly G.o.ddess. Do you have more wives?"
"Yes." Alex nodded. "I currently have six wives."
His expression was serious, telling that this would be the best time to leave him if she found it a bit troubling to share a man.
"I see. As expected from a great man. I once thought that you would only have the three G.o.ddesses as your wives.?Still, the number isn"t that big, and I don"t see you as a l.u.s.tful person according to my observation." She nodded repeatedly.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Alex asked with a low voice.
"If it"s a l.u.s.tful person, I obviously have. After all, the harem will be too big to the point you won"t pay attention to your wives. On the other hand, if the Nature G.o.ddess, Lin Xingzhi, can accept this, why can"t I?" She shrugged.
"Hmm…"
"What? Are you going to push me away?"
"Not really. I am just surprised. Instead of saying you can, you use a comparison to prove your point."
"I just don"t want to have a conflict before knowing all of them, so I refrain from saying anything with confidence in myself as if I am trying to sell myself to you." She hesitated for a second before mentioning another clue she got from his mouth. "You said you currently have six wives. Does that mean you have another candidate? Or am I the only one?"
"There are another two. I don"t know what will happen between us, but I have decided to confront their feelings as well. Whether it will work out or not, I will see it through." Alex nodded. "You are the third, I guess."
"Who are they?"
"Can I not speak about this for the time being?" Alex glanced at her.
"Sure thing. I am not acquainted with them too, so it"s only fair if I meet them first before you say anything." Silvia nodded in understanding. "Still, I am ninth, huh…"
"I don"t like numbers." Alex shook his head.
"But if you have a kid, how will your kids call your other wives?"
Alex thought about it for a few seconds before shaking his head. "I will think about it later. I still have something that I need to do before having a child."
"I see. That"s a shame." She smiled and continued working on his face, knowing that the beast indeed pressured him to go faster than ever, not letting him have this kind of risky life.
"By the way, I have a matter that I would like to consult."
"No need to be that formal. Just ask me. I will see whether I can do it or not."
"In that case…" Alex revealed the problem. "I am not sure if I can stay here within the time limit. In other words, I will be leaving this world after one more year…Which is short a few months from the agreement."
She suddenly paused the treatment and looked at him with a gentle smile. "Can…I follow you?"
"I can only answer that when I leave this world." Alex shook his head in disappointment.
"Then, I will wait before saying anything regarding this. Do you have a plan after leaving this place?"
"A few things that I can and cannot say. However, I still have no plan after that. I mean…I will be a Rank 8 G.o.d when I leave this world. Meanwhile, I still need to reach the Rank 7 G.o.d within five years." Alex narrowed his eyes.
"You are a very serious person, aren"t you?" She smiled. "Five years, huh…"
"Yeah. My current plan is to reach Rank 4 G.o.d within twenty-five years, reach Rank 2 G.o.d the next ten years. After that, I can"t say anything."
"In that case, you will need my power again. I mean, I can still fix your body once more to give you a boost in your cultivation in the future. When the time comes, you can visit me."
"Thanks."
"Since you give me this precious information, I have something that can help you." She recalled the information about a particular world. "This world is a peculiar world. Unlike a normal world where we cultivate and get stronger, they are using science instead.
"They have things called cars and guns to do most of the things. However, I have seen a world similar but more advanced than this to the point they are capable of constructing a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p without the need for cultivation power to fuel the s.h.i.+p. That is something fascinating.
"My point is…That world has a weird system. It"s like having two different types of world. On the surface, they don"t have people with cultivation, but you can enter the other side of the world and find powerful cultivation. In fact, they have many G.o.d Rank Experts."
Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he learned that information. The way she described it was very similar to that of Earth. However, Alex knew Earth didn"t have something like this, so he remained silent, letting her continue.
"Why do I mention this planet? There is one reason. The people of the other side can"t travel to another side without paying the price. On the other hand, the people on the surface haven"t realized there is this other side.
"Because of that, there is a certain barrier between them. One is longing to go to the "Surface" while the other is not aware of it. Why do you think those people want to go to the surface?"
Alex thought for a moment and said, "Resources?"
"Exactly. Because they don"t know much about cultivation, they have yet to exhaust the powerful medicinal herbs or any other resources. You should be able to get all the plants that they don"t care about and use them to your advantage.
"However, the barrier that is separating the two realms is thin. You need to lower your strength to Martial Master if not Foundation Stage unless you want to break that barrier. We have once sent someone there, but they die under the aggression of their so-called military and guns.
"It"s quite a powerful weapon. The guns seem to be equal to Rank 2 Weapons. From what I know, there is a possibility that their strongest weapons are either Rank 4 or Rank 5 Weapons. In any case, their individuals are weak, so you can proceed without a problem. I don"t think why I suggest this, right?"
Alex nodded and thought. "The world is indeed like that of Earth, but this separate dimension is very different. If it"s like she said, the other side seems to have exhausted their resources, trying their best to get the resources from the other side.
"However, there is a barrier that prevents them, so the resources are safe. The reason she told me this…" He closed his eyes and opened his mouth. "Do you want to enter together with me? I think I can spend the rest of the days gathering resources."
"Hehe. You know me well. It"s a win-win situation."
"You want me to bring you because I can use my s.p.a.ce Element to seal my power but still have Divine Body. Those weapons won"t be able to hurt me, so I am the strongest in that world. This is a big advantage that only I can have because of my strength.
"Even if you send your people there, you will have a hard time procuring their resources because they will be killed by their weapons. It"s not like the people you can send are strong enough to oppose their weapons. And if you send too many people, the barrier will break and all h.e.l.l will let loose."
"Exactly." Silvia gave a thumb up. "Your strength is necessary. I already have their information, so we can go there. We won"t take everything from them, but I am sure you don"t mind getting a few Divine Rank Herbs, right? I don"t know how many herbs they have, but yeah, we can"t really exhaust their resources just like that."
"I don"t really mind as long as you can wait after leaving this world. I mean, I still need to pay respect to my teacher and in-laws unless I want to get killed." Alex complained jokingly.
"Sure. I am alright with that. Should I follow you to Eulja? Maybe I can talk it out with the Nature G.o.ddess too…And probably with the others. I need to introduce myself before having them accept me, no?"
Alex scratched the back of his head before Lin Xingzhi replied.
[Sure. You can bring her. I saw her once when I confronted the Palm G.o.d. It was a few hundred years ago, so she was still a child back then. I am curious to see her development. Besides, Anna and Anya will surely become curious, especially Anya. Their abilities have the same healing attributes after all.]
Wanting to inform her that Lin Xingzhi had agreed, he chose a different way to say it because he couldn"t afford to let her know about the system for the time being. He changed his wording. "Sure. I will talk to her regarding that and let you know at a later date."
"I am looking forward to it." She smiled.
"One thing that I don"t understand, why do you keep smiling as if you don"t feel everything about this weird at all? I mean, I am sure you have something that disappoints you until this day, no?"
"I do feel a bit uncomfortable when you say you have multiple wives. Like any other women out there, they will say they are jealous to see the man with another woman. However, this can be resolved by how the family operates and the relations.h.i.+p with the other wives, including how tolerant they are. After all, relations.h.i.+ps can be built over time.
"For example, if the family operates like a normal family that thinks political marriage is the best thing to do to gain relations.h.i.+ps, the relations.h.i.+p with the wives will be bad. However, if you prioritize the family first and do not fall in love with someone because of their body or something, you will discuss this with your wives first.
"This allows the wife to have a sense of importance in their hearts and yours. They will start supporting each other because they know something they can"t do, the others can, so they need to rely on each other even if it means swallowing their desire. Of course, you need to act as the family head as well to make sure everyone is getting along."
Before continuing, she sensed someone coming that turned out to be Aria. She smiled. "I think I shouldn"t discuss it right now before I meet with the others."
[I like how this girl thinks…]
Alex ignored Lin Xingzhi and nodded. "Yeah. Sorry for asking you that question."
"No problem."
