Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss-Chapter 67 - 65: I Feel Like She’s Walking Me Like a Dog
All men love a good compliment.
This saying applied to Javier Sinclair as well, though he would never admit that he was pleased.
Thinking of this, Celeste Grant looked at him and deliberately said in a cloyingly sweet voice,
"The Exalted One, did you miss me?"
Hearing this,
Javier Sinclair’s hand froze, and he almost dropped his phone.
His gaze fell upon the faintly smiling face on his phone, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. His expression remained impassive, however, as he said coolly, "Speak properly."
"I am speaking properly. I’m just asking if you missed me."
Javier Sinclair: "No."
’Why would I ever think about a woman?’
Celeste Grant clutched her chest, the very picture of a heartbroken Ophelia. "I’m heartbroken," she declared. "My love was wasted on you, after all. Oh, well. I offered my heart to the bright moon, only for it to shine on the ditch instead. I’m off, I’m off."
Javier Sinclair’s face turned red.
’This woman.’
’Where did she learn all these unorthodox tricks? They’re making me feel all strange inside.’
’So improper.’
Just as he was thinking,
the woman who had been so theatrical a moment ago was back to her usual self. She said in a serious tone, "Alright, enough nonsense. Keep an eye on my son and call me if anything happens. I have to go hunt more Demonic Beasts tomorrow. Bye, Exalted One. Hanging up now."
It felt like winding up for a huge punch, only to hit a ball of cotton. It was so unsatisfying.
Javier Sinclair: "..."
’She was supposedly heartbroken just a moment ago, spouting all that improper nonsense, and now my only use is to be her babysitter?’
’Strange. I feel like she’s walking me like a dog. Dammit...’
Celeste Grant: "Hanging up..."
Javier Sinclair: ’So irritating!’
...
「That night.」
After hanging up the phone, Celeste Grant began her grind.
She took out the All Things Rejuvenation Technique and began to meditate and cultivate.
She had been focused on the Great Words Immortal Cultivation Technique and hadn’t started this new one yet. She wanted to master each technique fully, rather than being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
Cultivating the All Things Rejuvenation Technique required a Wood Element Spiritual Root. Coincidentally, Celeste Grant had a dual-element Spirit Root, one of which was the Wood Element. Her Spirit Root also possessed a potent Vitality Power, making her perfectly suited to practice this magic.
The All Things Rejuvenation Technique was a form of magic that could bring withered trees back to life; it was also a healing art. At the mastery level, it could even regenerate severed limbs.
In this Cultivation World, as long as you grind hard enough, anything is possible.
She opened the manual and read through it once.
The text in the manual should have been obscure and difficult, but to Celeste Grant, it seemed simple.
To her, the words and symbols were as easy to grasp as elementary school grammar. As long as she did the "homework," she could practice the technique. It wasn’t difficult at all.
Forming seals with her hands, she began to cultivate the magic.
Circulating Spiritual Power through her hands, she closed her eyes and began to absorb its principles.
An entire night passed just like that.
When she opened her eyes, it was the next day.
After getting up and casting a Cleaning Technique, she headed to the Soulrender Mountains to hunt Demonic Beasts and increase her combat strength.
Here’s an answer to a question everyone is curious about: do you need to use the restroom after you start Cultivation?
She could answer that with certainty: you don’t. During Cultivation, impurities are expelled directly from the body, making it completely unnecessary.
Time to kill some Demonic Beasts and rack up experience.
If you want to become stronger, you have to work a little harder than others.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed with her hunting in the Soulrender Mountains.
During that time, she felt her magic grow more proficient and her combat strength increase. Where it once took several blows to kill low-level demon beasts, she could now fell them with a single wave of her hand.
Celeste Grant stored away the corpse of a horned Demonic Beast.
’According to my calculations, today’s the day.’
The Immortal Treasury Palace Secret Realm is about to open.
This Secret Realm was filled with opportunities, all sorts of rare treasures and Spiritual Medicine. ’I can’t let the heroine get her hands on all that.’
A greater opportunity awaited her, one she had to seize herself, so she couldn’t spare the time to gather all these resources.
’So I’ll just have to bring more people to do it for me.’
Thinking of this, Celeste Grant took out the Bone Whistle and blew it.
The Bone Whistle had been crafted by the Bloodfiend Den and contained an Array. When blown, the Life Token carried by any nearby Bloodfiend Den disciple would react, letting them know they were being summoned by a superior.
Of course, it had a limited range.
In just a moment, people began rushing toward her from all directions.
The disciples of the Bloodfiend Den were all dressed in pitch-black, giving them a sinister appearance. They also bore the Bloodfiend Den’s totem, making them easy to recognize.
Soon, dozens of people stood before her, both men and women, among them Marcus Mercer and his group.
Upon seeing her, they all dropped to one knee in unison, bowing their heads and placing a hand over their chests in a salute.
"Greetings, Madam."
"This subordinate greets you, Madam."
Celeste Grant waved her hand.
"All of you, rise. I’ve summoned you for a reason."
Marcus Mercer stepped forward.
He spoke very respectfully, "Madam, what are your orders?"
Celeste Grant didn’t waste any words. "I’ve received word that a Secret Realm has emerged deep to the north of here," she stated directly. "It should be full of Spiritual Medicine. You’re coming with me."
Marcus Mercer was stunned.
’A Secret Realm is appearing here? How have I not heard anything about it?’
’But if Madam says so, it must be true.’
"Madam, should this subordinate call for more disciples?"
Hearing this, Celeste Grant thought for a moment and nodded. "That Secret Realm has a restriction," she said. "Only disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter. Disciples who have already broken through to the Golden Core Stage don’t need to come."
Marcus Mercer acknowledged the order.
"This subordinate will make the arrangements at once."
He quickly gathered over a hundred people, who then followed Celeste Grant to the location where the Secret Realm was to appear.
When they arrived, they stared blankly at the endless expanse of rubble before them.
"This place... it’s all rocks."
And they were really big.
Marcus Mercer circled the area but didn’t find anything unusual.
"Madam, could the information be wrong? There’s nothing in this place but these rocks."
Celeste Grant just said lightly,
"Wait."
She had never been here before either.
’According to the book’s plot, this has to be the place.’
’But now that I’m here, it’s not just the Demon Cultivators; even I think this is a bit half-assed. For the Immortal Treasury Palace Secret Realm to appear in a place like this... come on, author, put in some effort. This whole setup is just to hand-deliver opportunities and men to the heroine.’
’Ugh! What a fucking stupid plot.’
Celeste Grant rested an elbow in one hand, her finger tapping her chin.
Speaking of which,
she was very curious.
It was in this very Secret Realm that Jocelyn Grant was supposed to meet one of her paramours, Morgan Quinn, the Son of Sword from the Crimson Sun Sect, and subsequently jump into bed with him.
The last time they’d met, they had beaten Morgan Quinn so badly that only his Primordial Spirit managed to escape. The Bloodfiend Den disciples had burned his body to ash.
’So, how is the plot supposed to play out now?’
’This, I’m actually a little excited to see (✧◡✧) hahaha.’
Just then, the field of rubble began to tremble slightly.
Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow.
’It’s starting!’
