Death... and me

Falangia then got tired of using Divine Sense after listening to everything. “If that’s the case, I won’t give up. It’s not like I wish your wife to be dead, but if she is, I want to be there.”

Rean shook his head once again, telling her, “As I mentioned before, I can’t bring you around all the time. Now, let’s end it here and return to the main topic. Do you want to stay in this city? It truly seems like a good place.”

“But-“

“Enough.” Rean cut off Falangia decisively. “Let’s do it like this. If I happen to find out that my wife is gone, I’ll come back to you to see if you still have the same feelings for me.” Well, in fact, Rean had no intention of coming back. He believed that once enough time passed, Falangia and Rafatia would eventually forget about him. At the very least, they would give up on the idea of marriage.

Before Falangia could answer, Rafatia took her place, telling Rean, “You promise?! Then… I will wait for big brother Rean to come back. I will never marry anyone else!”

Rean laughed as he nodded. “Hahaha! Sure, sure. However, you don’t need to wait for me to come back, okay? If little Rafatia finds someone she likes more than me in the future, you can marry that guy instead.”

“That won’t happen!” Rafatia answered straight away. She then looked at Falangia and asked, “Right, mommy?”

Falangia knew by now that Rean was adamant about not having anyone else. Well, she couldn’t blame him. She did say she wouldn’t mind sharing Rean with Qia. However, if possible, she also wanted to have Rean only for herself. Isn’t that the same? “F-Fine! Then… I’ll wait for you.”

Rean smiled in response. “Do as you wish. What I just said to Rafatia is also valid to you. If you find someone you love, there’s no need to wait for me. Just go out with him already.”

Falangia nodded in response, though she replied, “That won’t happen.” She seemed quite confident in her answer as she really never felt like that towards any man before. She knew she would never forget Rean. “However, will you really come back one day? What if you make me wait forever?”

“This…” Rean had forgotten that part. Indeed, if she didn’t receive news from Rean, how would she know that Rean found his wife or not? “Fine! I’ll make sure to come back here even if I find my wife. However, you better be prepared. Such a thing will take many, many years, as far as I can tell. Just traversing Pol Continent without a teleport formation might take over a decade, let alone finding and heading to the demon beast territories.”

Falangia and Rafatia got to the same conclusion. “If that’s the case, we will cultivate a lot!” Obviously, the higher one’s cultivation, the longer one could live. Roan had prepared perfect cultivation techniques for the two girls on the way here as well. Not to mention that Pol Continent’s Divine Energy concentration wasn’t bad, not losing out to Huring or Lanqueas at all. With such conditions, as long as neither of the girls died, they could definitely reach at least the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Why Nascent Soul Realm? That’s because one could only enter the Soul Transformation Realm if they found their own path. That had nothing to do with talent. There was no lack of geniuses who died in the Nascent Soul Realm without ever stepping into the Soul Transformation Realm. Of course, if they found their own path, Roan’s cultivation technique could definitely bring them as far as they wished.

The reason was simple. Roan received all the low-level immortal cultivation techniques from Wekil in the Lost Star Realm. Even if they were low-level in Wekil’s eyes, they were peerless in this part of the Realm of Gods. Let alone that Roan merged them in the best way he could, taking the techniques he had memorized so far. Until now, there was only one technique Roan couldn’t improve, the Yin Yang Cultivation Technique that he and Rean used. Even Roan began to think their cultivation technique was really perfect.

“Well, we’ll see,” said Rean. “Just a warning, you must not let anyone know about your cultivation techniques. Even though Roan forced you two to memorize the techniques completely, others might still try to force it out of your mouth. Don’t complain later if problems knock on your door because you weren’t careful enough.”

Falangia obviously understood how important it was, so she had an idea. “There’s one way to protect them. How about a Soul Binding Contract?”

Rean shook his head, telling her, “Better not. The reason is simple. If there comes a day where you need to always give the technique or die, I want you to simply give them away. Besides, there was that event in the Lost Star Realm. It won’t take long for news to start spreading into other continents about their immortal cultivation techniques.”

Falangia couldn’t help but smile after that. Even at this moment, Rean was still thinking about their well-being.

“Big brother Rean,” Falangia called Rean’s attention. “I will definitely catch up to you in cultivation. You’ll see! When that happens, I will go out and look for you if you’re not back yet.”

Rean, of course, didn’t take that seriously. “Hahaha! Is that so? Then, I’ll be waiting for you when that happens.”

Falangia then looked around and began to ponder. “Now then… this city does look quite nice as you mentioned, Rean. However, would it really be good for us to live in a city so close to the continental barrier?”

Rean narrowed his eyes as he thought about the issue. There was the Flash Beast and the return of the full-powered continental barrier in the Under Sea Desert. No doubt the experts of the Sacred Undersea Kingdom would look into it. Perhaps Falangia and Rafatia will be implicated due to that if they stayed here. “Fine! I’ll bring you further into the Pol Continent.”

“Yay!” The mother and daughter hugged each other as they cheered.
