Everyday Life and Foreshadow

Mathias' face looked indescribable while Charlotte's expression turned as red as a tomato. The tea that they spat dripped from their lips, drenching their clothes. For a moment, the mighty Divine Soul Cultivator and the Princess of the Paradyne Clan forgot to maintain their dignity.

Facing the innocent Juliet who stared at them with a confused expression. Mathias dryly coughed and awkwardly smiled before standing up, "Ermm, little girl, we'll go back here at night," Charlotte also stood up and closed her senses off.

Juliet's expression flickered, "Why? Uncle can wait, I'll go tell papa to stop their game..." She turned around and Mathias hurriedly stopped her, "It's okay, It's okay, Juliet, it seems like your father and mother is working hard, so don't disturb them, okay?" Mathias glanced at her daughter and the latter looked thoroughly embarrassed and astonished.

"Working hard?" Juliet knitted her eyebrows, she didn't understand why playing would be related to working since according to her, they were separate matters. "Mama and Papa are playing, you know? I can make them stop,"

Hearing her words, Charlotte gripped her father's wrist, wanting him to stop. But the old man revealed a sly smile, rubbing his palms together, he closed in and said, "How do you make them stop, Juliet?"

Juliet's expression brightened upon the fact that she was being relied on. Staring right into Mathias' eyes, she said with a cheerful laughter, "Hehe, I can make them stop by turning on the lights..."

"Pfft!" Mathias hurriedly turned his head to the side as he spat a drizzle of saliva in the air. Holding his guts, his shoulders visibly trembled as Charlotte literally dragged him outside. Nodding towards the little girl, they went off and never looked back, leaving the dumbfounded Juliet behind.

Inside the couple's room, electricity danced around along with crackling sounds that filled the area. The two stuck their bodies close to each other and assumed a position recorded inside the dual-cultivation method named, Fusion of the Lightning God.

The dual-cultivation works by circulating double the amount of Lightning Qi within the bodies of the two compatible couple that cultivates the Blessing of the Lightning God Divine Arts. Thus, decreasing their cultivation time. The only disadvantage that this method has was that it needed a sincere and pure connection between the cultivators.

Because of this, the method was only suitable for Dao Companions. Since this issue didn't bother the two, they commenced their dual-cultivation and Dan's mind fell into deep contemplation.

With the help of Natalie's comprehension, Dan's mind began to understand the intricacies of the second stage of the Blessing of the Lightning God.

Different from the first stage where lightning is only manifested. The second stage congeals the lightning instead of sending it out in a flurry. Which means the cultivator could control their lightning into different shapes, such as a sword, arrow, or a simple Lightning Ball.

Not only that, since the cultivator's understanding regarding Lightning was improved, the destructive capabilities of the attack would also be strengthened along with its speed, devastating his enemies to oblivion.

With Natalie's mountainous peaks pressed on his backs, Dan clicked his tongue, mustering the power of his virginity back at his past life to concentrate. Stretching both of his hands, he willed and the Lightning that surrounded them rolled towards the gap between his palms.

The sensation of forcing the scattered lightning around the air into a tight space between his palms was akin to forcing two like poles of magnets into each other. A strange force constantly fought back against his will, making him infuriated and vexed.

Exhaling a mouthful of air, his concentration lagged and the lightning, scattered. Beaded sweats filled his forehead, rubbing himself clean, he turned towards the stark naked Natalie and said, "Dress up, Juliet may have woken up already..."

Dan glanced at the window and found that it was already night. Natalie nodded her head, but instead of dressing herself up, she dragged Dan towards the independent bathroom inside their room.

Inside the bath, Natalie found that Dan's expression looked despondent, rubbing his stiff shoulders, she said, "Don't be too discouraged, I know that you're a determined man, you can definitely do it..."

Dan turned around and bitterly smiled, now that she mentioned it, Dan remembered that he forgot to ask her about how she reached her current cultivation. Opening his mouth, he was about to speak when Natalie leaped atop him and scrubbed his body clean.

The offensive that Natalie launched made him forgot his question as the two of them playfully scrubbed each other's body. Thirty minutes later, the couple freshened up and walked out of their room. There, they found Juliet in the living room, playing with her dolls.

Dan approached her and rubbed her head, "Are you hungry, Juliet?" The little girl turned around and stared at Dan in delight, "Mhmm! Will Papa cook?" She asked, and Dan chuckled, gesturing with his right forearm, he flexed and said, "Of course, I will! You don't want to taste Mama's horrible cooking, right?"

Dan's expression looked bright as he asked. But when he finished his sentence. His figure froze as a cold wind swept past his body. Turning around, Natalie could be seen staring at him with a murderous glare as the man who annihilated a part of the Fierce Bulls Gang became timid and frightful like a turtle.

"Hubby, did you say something?"

"Say something? What do you mean? I'm just talking with Juliet's friends..." He turned towards Juliet's dolls and suffused a comical expression, making them leap around with his hands.

Sighing in relief, he thought that he managed to evade the storm, but Juliet suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"Papa said that he will cook because Mama's cooking is terrible..." Her innocent voice sent a freezing wind down his soul. Juliet's words became a death sentence as Natalie sentenced him to sleep outside of the room, destroying all of his chances to be intimate with her.

Natalie coldly snorted and returned back to the kitchen while Dan's expression looked tragic and aghast. Darting his gaze at the pure-natured Juliet, he could only console himself by ruffling her hair.

As a result, Dan was unable to showcase the skills that he learned from Yukihira Soma. Around the dining table, his entire family sat down but instead of sitting next to him, Natalie sat beside Juliet and ignored Dan whose expression looked indescribable.

Just as they were eating, a knock echoed on the door and when Natalie opened it. Mathias and Charlotte could be seen with weird expressions on their face. Entering the house, Dan turned to Mathias and said, "Come here, Senior, my wife cooked some delicate delicacies, it would be a shame if you cannot taste it..." His gaze momentarily glanced at Natalie who sent a fierce glare in return.

Mathias rubbed his head, lightly coughing, he maintained his dignity and decorum while Charlotte looked redder than a tomato, "Home-cooked meals? It's been a long time since I tasted one, I really thank you for the offer, Dan."

"It's nothing, It's nothing, come seat..." Dan gestured and Charlotte nodded her head in courtesy while preparing to seat beside Natalie. But Dan was faster than her. Before she could seat beside Natalie, Dan's figure had already disappeared and reappeared beside Natalie whose face became colder as time passed by.

Charlotte dryly coughed and took the hint. Turning towards her father, she realized that her old man was winking at her in a well-hidden signal. She turned speechless towards her father's conduct. But in the end, she took the seat beside Dan and took a plate.

The atmosphere around the room was strange as the two families dined together. But still, they enjoyed the dishes that Natalie made and even Dan who found her meals, hard to swallow became delighted in the fact that she managed to improve this much in such a short amount of time

"Now that I think about it, now that I think about improvement, I feel like I'm forgetting something," He mumbled under his breath, but his whispering didn't escape Natalie's perception.

His eyes flickered in a light of epiphany as he prepared to question Natalie. But before he could speak up, Natalie suddenly said, "Now that I think about it, Senior, is there any matter that you want us to take a look?"

Mathias' eyes flashed in surprise, "Oh, so you already know about the matter of that so-called Phantom Mistress?" Dan's attention perked up while Charlotte remained indifferent. It looks like she already knew about this matter.

"Phantom Mistress?" Dan asked in a small voice, Mathias turned to him, "Yeah, ever since the two of you returned, someone is hunting down the low-ranking Assassins of the Night Ranger Association inside the Imperial City..."

"Really?' Dan asked, clearly astonished. Mathias nodded his head, "Though it doesn't really concern us that much since she's hunting those bastards from the Night Ranger Association, the only thing that I'm afraid of is about her safety..."

Dan knitted his eyebrows, "If she's hunting the members of the Night Ranger Association then she should have a decent cultivation, why is Senior worried about her safety when her enemies are just small fries?"

"Her cultivation isn't exactly that high, according to my investigations, she doesn't possess a Divine Sense, yet so her cultivation is definitely lower than the Spirit Tempering Realm...Also, witnesses say that she would wear a silver mask that covers her entire face. " Mathias explained and a muffled cry of surprise came out of Dan's mouth, "A silver mask? So that's her trademark?"

"Yes, it is," Mathias nodded his head and Dan pressed on, "Then, why is Senior telling us this information? I don't think that it will do us any merit though..."

"Hahaha," Mathias chuckled, "Well, there's no harm in knowing more, you know? Maybe it could help you in the long run..."

With Mathias saying these lines, Dan could only nod his head and the two families continued their dinner. In the end, Mathias gave the couple, two jade tokens of the Paradyne Academy which would serve as their recommendation letter. He said that they could enter the Academy, whenever they were ready.

The veil of the night reached its peak and everyone inside the Imperial City were more or less, asleep. Inside the residence of the Longinus Family, the slender figure of Natalie slipped out from her room. Glancing around, she cautiously stepped outside and when she reached the exit.

An azure lightning enveloped her body as her figure disappeared. Leaping on roofs after roofs, she took a compass and rushed towards the direction where it pointed.

Inside a certain house in the Commoner Realm of the Empire of Eternal Faith. A young man whose figure looked remarkably average furiously scribbled on a piece of paper. His expression pale and his breathing disarrayed as the sweat that formed on his forehead drizzled down the paper.

Behind him, the corpse of a high-ranking official of the Empire could be seen. His rank indicated by the badge affixed on his right chest. Finishing his letter, the young man took a token and pressed it on the paper, embedding the mark of the Night Ranger Association before throwing it near the corpse.

A relieved smile lifted on his lips as he hurriedly went to escape. But before he could even reach the exit. A bolt of lightning passed by, along with the appearance of a slender and captivating figure of a young woman clad in a jet-black nightgown.

Her clothes contrasted the silvery mask that she wore on her face. Her figure looked enticing enough, but when the young man witnessed her appearance. His face became filled with fear and terror. Staggering backward, he summoned a fleet of daggers and sent it towards the young woman.

The young woman flicked her wrist in response, as lightning congealed and formed a wall which charred the dagger into useless scraps. The young man took advantage of this opening and ran towards a nearby wall.

But unfortunately, the masked woman was even faster. A palm strike filled with the power of Lightning slammed on his chest, sending him towards the wall and effectively ending his life.

The young woman then walked towards the corpse of the young man and tapped his forehead. The remnants of the young man's Spiritual Qi surged and came out of his orifices as the young woman entrapped it within her palm and fused it within her dantian.

Because of this, her strength permanently surged and the expenditure of Spiritual Qi that she used in killing the young man was recovered. She glanced at the dead bodies of the two and clapped her hands together, offering a prayer for their soul before leaving her mask and escaping from the scene.

As her graceful figure fluttered above the roofs. Her name would once again resound across the entire Empire of Eternal Faith.
