Lord of the Magical Beasts-Chapter 735 - Firm Character and Tender Feelings
Chapter 735: Firm Character and Tender Feelings
A day in Heaven was like a thousand years on Earth!
When Yang Ling was about to refine the remnant soul of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he couldn’t help but observe the boundless land from above. He observed distant and warm houses, which were ablaze with light, and he felt moved. He recalled Sofia and Alice, who were left in the Wizard Pagoda. He also recalled Yuna that was laying in the Crystal Coffin. He weaved a Wizard Seal, and he instantly disappeared from the Heavenly Pillar Mountain’s peak. He entered the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
After one practiced the Wizard Spells to their later stage, it would be more difficult to comprehend them and grasp them. Every session of seclusion would last at least several years, and he might even spend a thousand years without realizing it. After this seclusion session, he would most likely directly attack the City Amongst the Clouds with the Magical Beast Army. His fate was unknown, and his army might be wiped out. This was why Yang Ling wanted to seize the remaining time and spend several days with Sofia and Alice before his seclusion session.
One would only understand the importance of something after losing them!
Yang Ling had already lost Yuna, who was good at understanding others, and he didn’t want to lose Sofia and Alice. He would treasure every day he would spend with them.
…
“Harley, you don’t have to sweep the study room. You should leave!”
In a simple and graceful courtyard, the long-haired elf, Sofia, took the broom from the hands of the maid, Harley. She instructed her in a soft voice and asked her to leave. Soon after, she entered the peaceful study room and pulled open the thick window curtains. She started sweeping the place slowly.
There were rows of bookshelves in the study room, and it was filled with books about astronomy, geology, Battle Energy, magic, and other aspects. After the windows were opened, fresh air entered the room. There were verdant trees next to the windows, and they rustled due to the light wind. The area within a perimeter of several miles of the courtyard was filled with trees, and they were evergreen through all four seasons. This land had a beautiful environment and fresh air. There was also a low amount of dust, but Sofia would still come here early every morning to sweep this place, and she wouldn’t allow the maid to enter the room.
The reason behind this was that every time Yang Ling came back, he would meditate within the peaceful study room or take a look at the various books.
Every time Sofia saw the clean desk and comfortable, tall chair, she would think of Yang Ling’s relaxed posture and peaceful eyes. Yang Ling was always practicing or running around outside all year long, and she knew that he had his own difficulties. This was why she had never said anything about this or complained, but every time she saw the empty chair, sadness would well up in her heart.
After she fused with a Godhead carefully selected by Yang Ling, she also became a High-level Deity and she would stay youthful forever. She had nearly eternal life and had a lofty status within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. Even the Wizard God Religion’s Pope Goode and the Magical Beast Chief Commander, the Corpse Wizard King, and the others were very respectful to her. She had a life of luxury, and she could get anything she wanted. But if she had a choice, she would rather give up on everything to accompany Yang Ling every day.
“Magical Beast Calendar, on the 7th day of the third month in the 851st year.” After Sofia finished cleaning the chair and desk, she took out a Magical Calendar and crossed out a day with a writing brush in her hand. Soon after, she heaved a sigh.
After the Magical Beast Divine Branch was established officially, all regions controlled by the Magical Beast Divine Branch adopted the same Magical Beast Calendar. The day that Yang Ling reached the Tailun Continent became the first day of the first year of the Magical Beast Calendar. Every day, Sofia would cross out a day the Magical Beast Calendar, and she would count roughly how many days were left until Yang Ling’s return.
“It probably won’t rain tomorrow.” Sofia looked at the light rain and observed the clouds on the horizon. She closed softly the Magical Beast Calendar, and she was about to put it back into its former location. But ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and a man’s big hand suddenly covered her eyes. He approached her closely from behind.
“Sofia!”
This familiar-sounding voice that she hadn’t heard in a long time surprised and delighted her, although she was alarmed. She hugged Yang Ling tightly, and excitement welled up in her heart. Tears streaked across her face, and her pretty face quickly became tear-stained.
“Sofia, don’t cry!” Yang Ling softy wiped away the tears on Sofia’s face before he clasped her pretty face and deeply kissed her alluring lips.
Thousands of words weren’t as good as a passionate kiss!
The excited Sofia hugged Yang Ling tightly, and in this instant, it seemed like the world belonged to them alone. The wind, the rain, as well as the people’s cries in the distance instantly disappeared, and the curvaceous Sofia instantly melted into Yang Ling’s embrace like a piece of ice. Her eyes were tearful and her vision was fuzzy, but a sweet feeling welled up in her heart as if she just ate a jar of honey.
Happiness was so simple!
If Sofia had a choice, she would rather hug Yang Ling forever and never separate from him.
Deep love would make everything possible!
After a passionate kiss, Yang Ling waved his hand and set up a Restriction Spell. Soon after, he carried Sofia from her waist and put her softy atop a large bed. He quickly took off her clothes and pushed her down strongly…
They tossed around on the bed and embraced each other strongly!
This early morning, many dissolute moans transmitted from the courtyard, and they formed a chorus with the patter of rain.
…
“Brother Yang, why don’t you take a stroll with me, is that okay?” After the third session of love, the exhausted Sofia had only woken up after a long while, and she spoke as she nestled into Yang Ling’s embrace. Her long hair was messy, and her pretty big eyes were filled with expectations. Even the blush on her face didn’t disappear.
“Fine, let’s go.” Yang Ling quickly put on his clothes and waited for Sofia to make herself presentable. Soon after, he carried her from her waist and walked out of the back door. They both wore a dark cloak to hide from people and they also wore a cape that didn’t have any symbols on it.
The two people made love several times and slept for a long time. When they walked out of the towering palace, they found out that it was already early evening, and the Holy City’s lanterns were brightly lit. A sea of people was walking around, and there were many stores with impressive decorations on both sides of the broad street. There was a dazzling lineup, and those stores had all kinds of goods.
For the past years, the Wizard Pagoda’s Space governed by Pope Goode had already changed a lot. As for the Holy City, where the Great Wizard Pagoda was located, it had changed beyond recognition. Both the city scale and its population weren’t any lower than various dimensions’ great cities, and every year, many believers would take a pilgrimage toward the Great Wizard Pagoda. The number of people here was higher than the population of all races on the Tailun Continent.
“Brother Yang, let’s go. I will bring you to an interesting place.”
Sofia pulled Yang Ling’s big hand and ran around corners like a little butterfly. She quickly arrived at the large Magical Beast Plaza. This Magical Beast Plaza wasn’t any different than the Magical Beast Plaza in other regions, and it had cheap taverns, lively inns, as well as all kinds of stalls. All kinds of things were cheap here, and one could always get a good deal. This region resembled Wissen Town, when it was still developing, and Yang Ling found this region familiar-looking.
“Let’s go! Sofia, let’s drink several cups inside.” When Yang Ling smelt the wine odor in the air, he pulled Sofia’s little hand and entered a small tavern. They sat in a remote corner and ordered iced rum as well as crispy peanuts.
“Brother Stark, you are a Nine-star Hunter. So what is the matter with you? Weren’t you exploring a while ago the underground city within the Magical Beast Domain’s Valencia Valley?” A bearded man dressed like a hunter looked in disbelief at a person that came in suddenly.
The Dimensional Passageways between the Magical Beast Domain and the Wizard Pagodas dimension were expanded several times, and it was already very easy to travel between them. After a person’s identity was verified, he would just have to pay some Crystal Coins and he would get to travel between them freely. But ordinary people couldn’t travel between them because the fare was very high. However, this price wasn’t an issue to the numerous high-level hunters, great merchants or great nobles. Competent high-level hunters would take a bounty in the Hunter Guild and go explore the underground city, which wasn’t explored thoroughly by Yang Ling in the past, and they would also explore the Ice-sealing Goddess Shrine, Rainstorm Sea Area and other regions.
“What does the exploration of the underground city amount to in comparison to joining the Magical Beast Defensive Army?” The Nine-star Hunter, Stark, chuckled and whispered softly near the bearded man’s ear. “I heard that the Magical Beast Defensive Army plans to expand its forces. Brother, if you don’t want to miss this chance, you must hurry.”
“Stark, don’t bully us, it’s not like anyone has your abnormal speed and brute power. If one didn’t have top Domain-level power or the potential to reach the God level, then how would they join the Magical Beast Defensive Army? One still has to defeat other people and make a great contribution to join the Wizard Sect.” The bearded man shook his head bitterly. The Magical Beast Defensive Army was a shortcut for joining the Wizard Sect, but not everyone was qualified to join it.
“Hehe, fool! Anyone who was a resident of the Ancestral Hometown, Wissen Town of the Magical Beast Domain, they would get some privileges that other people don’t have.” The Nine-star Hunter chuckled and finished the rum in one gulp. He said, “Brother, don’t tell me that you don’t even know of this unspoken rule?”
The Ancestral Hometown, Wissen Town of the Magical Beast Domain?
The bearded man’s eyes lit up and he got excited. He finally saw hope for joining the Magical Beast Defensive Army. After Yang Ling became the lofty Magical Beast Core Deity, people would usually call him the “Core Deity.” But in some upper circles, people took pride in calling Yang Ling the “feudal lord.” The residents of the Ancestral Hometown, Wissen Town of the Magical Beast Domain had an inborn privilege.
…
“Huh? Does the Magical Beast Defensive Army plan to expand its forces once again?” After Yang Ling took a sip of the iced rum, he chuckled. Now, he didn’t pay any mind to the armies formed by common folks. The Magical Beast Army was his real main force, which he would use to campaign in various dimensions. The voices of the bearded man and Stark were very low, and they were swallowed up by the raucous noise in the tavern. They hide their conversation from the many drunkards, but they couldn’t hide it from the master of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
“It seems like it’s the case. I heard that it’s to strengthen the defense of various strategic locations. It’s General Ashnamov that issued the order to expand forces.” Sofia nodded. It was a pity that she didn’t have any idea about the concrete situation. As the domain’s scale increased in size, its affairs also increased, and there was staff in charge of dealing with this. She rarely got involved in those affairs.
“Ashnamov is brave and shrewd, and he still has Goode that can offer him good advice. He has never made any mistakes, and we can relax more thanks to those two people,” Yang Ling spoke and finished the rum in one gulp. He said softly, “It’s isn’t very late. So Sofia, let’s go and take a look at what that adorable little girl is doing.”
After several hundred years, the young girl had already turned into a graceful beauty. But in Yang Ling’s eyes, she would always be a little girl, and she was one of his few real relatives in this world.
