nAfter William finished cooking, he ate his meal leisurely.

nPoseidon and those high-ranking God-Kings like using mortals as pawns, right?

nWilliam thinks these God-Kings and Shapeshifters themselves make pretty good pawns.

nUsing ordinary people really isn’t that interesting.

nThrough them, he might even find traces of Cosmic Entities. .𝒎

nAs for the edge of the universe…

nTake it slow, have fun first.

nWilliam’s life is incredibly long, and without an end in sight, playing things one at a time, there’s no room for regrets.

nWhen it comes to meticulous planning, the first rule is not to rush.

nStep by step, that’s what makes it fun.

nWilliam thought it over and decided he could also use this situation to make Alice stronger. .𝒎

nBecoming stronger for ordinary people is undoubtedly a process, and Alice could definitely take advantage of this opportunity to grow stronger!

nHmm!

nThen it’s time to plan carefully.

nAt this moment, Alice was still in her room, enhancing her strength through meditation, completely unaware that William was scheming for her again.

nGetting stronger is natural, but the process might be somewhat arduous.

nAfter finishing a fish, William already had some ideas.

nAt this moment, several high-ranking God-Kings and the Grand Lords of the Shapeshifters all felt a sudden tightness in their hearts.

nThey had no idea what had happened, but living for so many years, their instincts were sharp.

nJust at that moment, they had a bad premonition.

nBut this feeling was fleeting. With their status, it was not something they could discuss with those around them, but it made them more vigilant.

nAt their level, a premonition is definitely not something to be ignored.

nAfter all, it’s best to be cautious.

nWilliam washed the dishes, then checked on Alice in the bedroom. Her strength had improved remarkably.

nWith the aid of a divine aura bestowed by a Cosmic Entity, Alice truly absorbed some of William’s essence. It’s like she had all the cheat codes activated. In such a short period of time, she went from an ordinary person to a being comparable to a Mortal Deity.

nBut to William, this progress isn’t anything noteworthy.

nIs the power of a Mortal Deity strong?

nAgainst even a slightly formidable deity, such power might lead to obliteration.

nWhile Alice continued her meditative training, William found a few games to play until, ten days later, Alice finally opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. A flash of purple light darted through her eyes.

nShe had no idea how long she had been sitting there,probably a long time!

n“Awake?” William looked deeply at Alice. Even with the aid of the divine aura, she hadn’t fully absorbed the essence, only a tiny fraction of it.

nSo, hoping to improve her strength in this manner again would unlikely yield such benefits.

n“How long have I been sitting here?” Alice, though she had lost track of time, thought to ask William.

nIt surely couldn’t have been for decades.

nThe whole world could have changed in that time.

n“A couple of weeks,” William said. “Want to go out for a walk?”

nImproving strength in such a dedicated manner wasn’t something William had experienced,he’d just find somewhere to sleep when he was utterly bored.

nWith the rapid changes of this era, isolating oneself for decades for intensive training could mean coming back to a completely different world.

n“Let’s go, I’ll take a shower first,” Alice said, jumping out of bed, feeling energized.

n“Sure, together then!” William nodded.

n“No!” Alice blanched. Although she had spent so much time in meditation, the memories of what happened before still made her uneasy.

nAnd she had experienced it,being in the water wasn’t pleasant!

nSo, taking a bath together was off the table.

nEven if they were to do something, it would be after taking a bath, whatever they wanted to do.

n“Then you go shower first.” William is not the type like Travis who relies on absorbing the vitality of the opposite sex to rejuvenate himself and enhance his strength. Doing such things also depends on his mood.

nSeeing how Alice got scared when he made that comment, he naturally let it go.

nHis idea was the same as Alice’s, waiting until after the shower to do anything was just the same.

nAnd now, with no one else at home, even if they did something in the living room, balcony, or kitchen, it really wouldn’t matter.

nAfter her shower, Alice, like a startled little rabbit, rushed into the bedroom, quickly got dressed, then appeared in front of William, taking his arm and saying, “Let’s go, where shall we stroll?”

nWilliam almost laughed out loud at her actions.

nWas she guarding against him or what?

nWhy did it feel like his image had undergone some change in Alice’s heart?

n“Do you want a massage treatment?” William asked with a smirk.

nIt was Alice who had initially requested a massage treatment.

nNow, why did she seem like a victim?

nAlice blushed deeply at his words, “Your massage treatments aren’t that effective, and you… who can withstand that?”

nCompared to those who, despite being very small, insist on saying “I’m big, just bear with it” while doing it, William is clearly holding back his strength.

nAs a being with invincible power, some abilities are nearly unstoppable.

nEven if Alice’s strength was considered powerful among Soulmancers, how could she withstand William’s relentless onslaught?

nWilliam didn’t say much more and left the house with Alice.

n“Let’s move back to East 62nd Street tonight.” William was no longer an employee of the 13th Bureau, and he didn’t plan to continue studying at the Soulmancer Academy, so staying in the small villa seemed somewhat inappropriate.

n“Okay!” Alice nodded. “Let’s go back! But first, buy me a chair.”

nEven now, Alice was still fixated on the wingback chair in William’s yard. She had been thinking about buying a wingback chair just like William’s, to sit with him in the yard when there was nothing to do, reclining together.

nWatching the stars and the moon together at night, drinking coffee, and enjoying life, what a romantic thing it is!

n“I’ll make it myself.” William’s woodworking skills are quite good. With such craftsmanship at his disposal, why buy one?

nAlice and William made a trip back to her home, where Alice’s father, Calvin Turner, had taken a pill provided by William. The previously graying hair at his temples had disappeared, and his wrinkles were notably reduced, making him look years younger.

nAt Calvin’s age, improving his strength without some extraordinary fortune would be difficult to achieve. Relying on the pill given by William, living a few more decades was not a problem.

nWilliam also thought that, a hundred years later, Alice would face a life-and-death separation from Calvin.

nBut he did not plan to change any of that.

nAs a Soulmancer, one basically goes through these painful experiences.

nLiving a long life, these things must be faced, and perhaps they serve as a kind of training for the soul.

nIf Calvin knew of William’s thoughts, he would surely be moved to tears of gratitude.

nWhat more could one ask for in such a distinguished and supportive son-in-law!
