Chapter 156 - City Wide News
Hearing this, Cain slightly paused. Even in this universe, he'll have to meet his girlfriend's parents. Only this time, it's with people who lived probably for dozens of years and wields prowess that is temporarily far above him.
Towards this challenge that would've pressured others, Cain thought little of it.
The main thing he has some concerns about is old Families' honor, traditions, and rigid norms. Hell, he knows back at home, his Dragon Royal Family probably has rigorous rules on who he should actually marry.
Most likely, it's okay for him to take on multiple lovers because of their specific bloodline variation.
But for becoming official wife, Cain could definitely see his Royal Family stepping and trying to determine everything for him. After all, he is the grandson of the Ancient Dragon Emperor.
Such status isn't light at all.
Still, that was for the future, and presently he needs to focus on dealing with whatever trouble that'll come from a noble Vampiric Family.
"You don't even need to ask. And when I'm status is spread around, I'm sure all slight trouble will get squashed. Plus, if anything does come up, I'll handle it. Though with the way you're talking….do your parents try to pressure you about relationship matters?
" Cain curiously inquired.
"Haaah~.
" Amber released a massive sigh, exhaling all of her tension right out of her body.
She collapsed more into Cain's sturdy chest, engrossing into his body heat, saying,
"You don't know the half of it. I love my parents, and they have kind of similar personalities to me. But, they put too much into these romantical issues. For years they thought I would end up sleeping alone until the end of my lifespan. And they always claim I should give others a chance to find some sort of 'true happiness.' And you know what? You made it so I can't directly deny this fact anymore….
"
Just that small line made Cain feel a rush of warmth spread throughout his chest. He subconsciously held on to Amber just a bit tighter.
And Amber seemed to realize what she had just said as her cheeks lit up with a beautiful blush.
"Ah-Ah! An-anyways….yea, it's great that'll you come. I'm sure we can settle all tension together.
" Amber quickly spoke, brushing all previous embarrassment under the wrong.
"Indeed we can.
" Cain's tone overflowed with warming affection.
And right then, he suddenly remembered a gracious gift he could give to Amber after all this time.
"And after this little event, I know you hold a tremendous interest towards Spirit Energy. So, what if I told you that you can become a World Spirit Master just like me? I know of a place where it'll instantly awaken your Spirit potential. It's how I became a World Spirit Master.
"
"As expected, you know of a place like that. And as expected, we will certainly visit such a place. I'll work my sleep schedule, so I don't suddenly grow tired on this excursion.
" Amber agreed without even a second thought.
Absolutely no thought went into how Cain even knew about a magnificent place like this. She accepted like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Moreover, going on an adventure with Cain sounds positively lovely. Out of all things she considered as a perfect time, adventuring with Cain was at least in her top 2.
And, of course, her own personal interest in World Spirit Masers played a massive part in her instant decision. Compared to Qi Energy, the versatility of Spirit Energy is where she sees pouring her whole heart into learning.
"Hehe, I knew even you wouldn't resist this temptation. I'll let you know in advance when we'll go. Now then, let's enjoy the rest of our night with some nice and relaxing cultivation.
"
As Cain spoke, he fished out his Dragon Charm and immediately activated it. The soothing energy from the Dragon Charm flowed through Cain and, by proxy Amber since his hands were upon her waist.
Under the Dragon Charm's Energy, Profound Qi slowly flowed to the couple as if they were a magnetic source.
Even without going into a cultivation state, Cain and Amber can enjoy a more slow and stable growth. The warmth between them was amplified by the Dragon Charm.
"Ahh~. Honestly, the only way to cultivate. I'll never be able to understand fanatics cultivators like your stuffy sister….
" Amber's eyes gradually closed in blissful peace.
And Cain slowly closed his own eyes, allowing himself to be fully immersed in this unique sensation.
Neither his nor Amber's cultivation level will significantly grow. But, their foundation is experiencing changes not many others can actually achieve.
….
As the days flew by, one tremendous news shocked the entirety of Azure Lightning City.
Two youths by the name of Cain and Kali who hails from the Crimson Sea Academy are now World Spirit Masters!
And not just ordinary World Spirit Masters, but monstrous Spirit Talents who will inevitably become top-tier powerhouses!
It was also broadcast that the sibling duo is under the guidance of the powerful Spirit Master Bellax.
Of course, outside of the World Spirit Master Branch, Bellax has a tremendous influence. Her Spirit Energy has been recorded by all Sect-like organizations to be immensely versatile even among her peers.
The amount of Pills, Weapons, Arrays formations, and enhancements she created is an outstanding amount that no ordinary person can possibly understand.
Furthermore, besides her versatility, Bellax's prowess is also monstrous! It's directly known that under Sage Core Realm, she's practically an untouchable goddess.
And even Sage Core Masters treat Spirit Master Bellax with high regard. Not many ancient monstrous powerhouses are willing to offend her at all.
And this kind of person is the protector of both Crimson Sea Academy's Cain and Kali!
Even as days went by, discussion about these two youths was rampant across nearly all districts around the City.
"Seriously, you would think with how much noise they're causing, either one of them would make a public appearance by now. Yet, all we got are mere photos of them! Just where do these guys come from? I've heard nobody knows about it.
"
"Not surprising they're unknown. Our Province is just too vast. Of course, not everyone can be known. And, of course, I don't blame those two for being so secretive. I mean, heaven-defying Talent? High Spirit Talent? They have statues we can only dream of having!
"
"Seriously, just imagine how monstrous they'll be in the future? I bet not even the Azure Lightning Sage will try to go against them because of their status.
"
One group of young cultivators extensively discussed Cain and Kali's high halo as they traveled the City's streets.
These younglings came from a decently powerful sect and certainly on a level equal to many High-Class level Families.
None of their statuses were small or weak at all.
Yet, even they can only look up to these mysterious sudden uprising stars.
Even as Cain and Kali didn't make an official public appearance, everyone across the City just had to accept both Crimson Sea Academy and World Spirit Master Branch's words.
Naturally, there were many suspicions and doubts running through thousands of people's minds.
Unless one directly proves themselves with action, it's a bit difficult to imagine heaven-defying achievements with only words.
The suspicions would be far larger if this was only concerning Crimson Sea Academy.
But now, since it's coming from the World Spirit Master Branch itself, the behemoth of the entire City, many people kept these doubts tightly locked down.
This overwhelming momentum was the might of the World Spirit Master Branch. It was at a level that completely surpassed the Crimson Sea Academy!
And when Cain and Kali do make their official appearance, their fame will only be tremendously amplified.
….
On this day, at Cain's residency, things barely changed at all for Cain, Kali, and Amber.
Crimson Sea Academy knows of the sibling duo's World Spirit Master status, but nobody truly has the qualifications to casually meet up with them.
Even before this, Cain and Kali's honorary Discipline Lord status made them both unreachable existence in the average genius eyes. And now, all those that wanted to reach them would need to go through the other four Discipline Lords.
Additionally, it wasn't just that students couldn't bother the sibling duo. But also other high-ranking Seniors and Elders needed to go through the Discipline Lords.
True to Alisha's words, Cain and Kali were alleviated of any duties in exchange for practicing their all in cultivation and Spirit Energy.
These virtually god-like statues did cause envy in many students and even Elders.
But what could they really do about it?
Cain and Kali will become the true overloads of the whole Azure Lightning City in the future. It was better to accept it and look from afar than inviting a damaging disaster upon themselves over petty envy.
At this time, Cain and Amber were patiently waiting outside of their house. Today would be a very special day for the young couple.
With Kali, of course, opting to stay inside to train, Cain and Amber were free to have plenty of alone time on their small excursion to Amber's noble Family!
But before that, Cain had to settle one little meeting before continuing on to the lineage of noble Vampires. As they waited for the others to come, Amber's expression was cutely engrossed as she talked with Cain.
"So they really have so much strange Spirit Arts over there? Cursing people, binding them, telepathic links, so many strange things….Say, just why aren't you going so hard with Spirit Energy like cultivation? I know I would be at this time. Just think of all the modern convinces you can learn.
"
Listening to this, Cain only had a wry smile. In truth, he hasn't really been over at the World Spirit Master Branch that much. He simply found the environment here better.
And practicing Spirit Energy is still a laborious task no matter his current advantages.
"Even if I dedicate my all to learning more about Spirit Energy, I won't be able to rapidly advance. Ironically enough, I'll need to venture for more lucky chances if I want my Spirit Energy to smoothly grow. At least, Bellax dissuades me from using cheap methods to increase my Spirit Energy.
" Cain shrugged while talking.
Not everything comes easy in this universe. And for Cain, putting in hard work was far more fulfilling anyways.
"Meh. You're just too much of a cultivation junkie to not look for more avenues. And….oh? They're finally here.
"
Amber suddenly split her attention off from Cain, tossing her gaze towards the skies. Both she and Cain detected three presences soaring over to them.
One of which Cain was highly familiar with. And the other two were completely foreign.
Within only a few minutes of sensing these individuals, Cain soon saw three gorgeous appear dozens of meters above them.
