Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 686 Hey, are you tipsy?

686  Hey, are you tipsy?

In the sacred divine land, the sky above the battleground where Kyle and others clashed with the individuals from the dark side was getting brighter by the second because the dark energy in the atmosphere was slowly getting cleansed by the nature.

In the midst of the ruins, Wesley's exhausted figure drifted towards a nearby boulder where Ronan sat. After a long day, they had finally cleared all the dead bodies in the area. Right now, all they desired was to return to their planet to rest.

Ronan glanced at the old elf who sat down beside him and took out a flying ship from his mind space. In their current state, they definitely can't fly towards their planet.

They could draw a teleportation array, but they weren't proficient with arrays and knew it would take another day to finish it. So, it was better for them to use a flying ship.

Wesley trudged his tired body towards the massive ship adorned with intricate leaf patterns and a majestic tree at the bow, with Ronan trailing close behind him.

They both decided to activate the presence-concealing artifact in the ship to make it invisible and rest during their journey back. However, as they ascended the ship via the stairs that descended from above, another yawning figure, surrounded by numerous sparkling symbols, strolled towards the ship from a distance.

Kyle glanced at the ship with droopy eyes. The loose white shirt he wore over trousers was completely clean but wrinkled.

He carefully placed the sleeping crimson bird in his hands above his head.

Then, a portal materialized in front of him, and in the next moment, he was leisurely climbing the stairs of the ship. The symbols gleaming around his form entirely masked his and Bia's presence as he arrived on the ship and scanned his surroundings.

The stairs disappeared behind him. Kyle spotted Wesley and Ronan's figures in the distance. They were starting the ship with an artifact rather than their strength. He looked back at the section of the ship that housed rooms and casually chose one.

He was pleased when he saw that he had picked quite a luxurious room for himself.

The room featured a spacious bed in the center, accompanied by several chairs in one corner surrounding a table. He placed Bia on a pillow, then swiftly nestled under the blanket and went back to sleep.

Outside the room, Ronan, who was tinkering with the artifact, suddenly glanced back with furrowed brows.

"Did I make a mistake?"

Wesley followed his gaze as the ship started to ascend into the sky.

"You noticed too? I didn't sense anyone, but I had this feeling like someone just walked by behind us... Strange."

They both gave each other a solemn look and swiftly extended their senses, yet even after a minute, they couldn't detect anyone on the ship, let alone around it.

Ronan even proceeded to check a few rooms. In the end, he found no one and glanced back at Wesley.

"I suppose it's because we're tired."

Wesley nodded at him and after entering the coordinates of their destination into the artifact operating the ship, they each chose a room and went to rest. They didn't sleep; instead, they began meditating.

The instant the ship departed from the Sacred Divine Land, Kyle's eyes snapped open. His body felt like it was wrapped in a warm embrace as a familiar yet foreign energy flowed through him.

"Mana..."

Kyle blinked his eyes to regain his focus and directed the mana entering his body to flow inside him like a gentle stream. It had been a while since he last used mana.

After leaving the No Mana Land, his body did absorb mana, but when he stepped into the Sacred Divine Land, it was also devoid of mana. This scenario caused his mana stat to stay stagnant for so long.

"It was about time for my mana state to advance. Even though mana is weaker than divine and spiritual energy, in the end, it's still a form of natural energy."

He sat on the bed and started absorbing mana from the surroundings. He couldn't help but notice how easily the amount of mana his body could hold increased.

It was no surprise, given that his body had become significantly stronger than when he was only at the divine rank. After a while, Kyle glanced at the image displaying his stats from the corners of his eyes.

________

Kyle closed his eyes and sensed he was on the verge of reaching the supreme rank.

He had already realized that his strength operated differently from others. So, he wasn't surprised when he saw almost all his stats were higher than his true rank.

"I can break through if I consume a few powerful treasures, but it's not beneficial right now to move to the next rank."

He slumped back onto the bed. He hadn't extended his senses and scent perception skill to avoid alerting Wesley and Ronan, so he was feeling a bit off. After all, he always kept an eye on his surroundings.

"It's too peaceful... Regardless, I will advance to the next rank when all my stats have reached the peak of the supreme rank. This way, I can ascend straight to the peak of the supreme rank."

Kyle had just shut his eyes, intending to drift back into sleep. Thoughts could wait.

But at that moment, the communication crystal buzzed in his mind space. He sighed and ignored it. After all, who else but Alec and the others would be reaching out?

In the last two weeks, the group had reached out to him many times. He answered a few to chat with Yue and assure her of his well-being. But mostly he disregarded the rest.

He let out a groan when the buzzing persisted and glanced at Bia who had been sleeping like a log from the moment they were done with the battle.

"...."

His life just had to be so difficult. He quickly grabbed the communication crystal from his mind space, prepared to silence it if it was Alec, Nine, or anyone else.

However, upon hearing Yue's familiar voice, he promptly sat up on the bed.

"Are you still in the Sacred Divine Land?"

Kyle rested his hand beneath his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips as he picked up on the worry in her voice.

"Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not. Do you want to see me? If you do, you know, I can come to the elven planet to see you."

There was silence on the other side. Kyle let out a silent chuckle because he was certain Yue was speechless at his words.

Then he heard a faint voice, a sound he would never have picked up if his hearing sense wasn't so sharp.

"You say you can come see me if I want, but I know you won't since you always do whatever you want."

Kyle raised an eyebrow. The way she put it, he could practically feel her frustration and a tinge of resignation, as if she had knew that he wouldn't make the effort to come.

"Really? Well, what if I showed up before you this very moment? Wouldn't your words be falsely accusing me then?"

Yue giggled heartily at his words.

"Right this moment? According to your communication crystal's location, you are quite a distance away from me. So how do you plan to show up before me instantly? Just keep doing what you are doing, and when you are done, we can meet."

Kyle furrowed his brows. She was right. He had just left the Sacred Divine Land not long ago and was currently on the ship. It would indeed take him some time to reach her. But that didn't mean he couldn't get to her instantly. He could always draw an array and use instant teleportation...

Did she maybe overlook these facts? No, that didn't seem possible.

It was only then that Kyle noticed Yue's speech was a bit faster than usual, and she sounded more cheerful.

"Hey, are you tipsy?"

Instantly, a response came.

"No, I'm not!"

Kyle rose from the bed with a shake of his head. From her voice, it was evident she wasn't in danger, but he couldn't leave her alone if she was truly drunk.

"Just how did you manage to get tipsy as a transcendent rank? What did the elves give you to drink? Or did you accidentally consume something?"

He let out a chuckle when he heard her grumbling in an annoyed tone.

"I told you I'm not! Alright!"

Suddenly, a mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he lowered his voice.

"I trust you, but if I were to show up in front of you right now, how about you marry me in return? How does that sound?"

There was total silence, and Kyle had to make sure the communication crystal connection wasn't lost. He did say something unexpected, but if Yue was truly tipsy, he was sure she would agree without much thought. He was right on the mark when he heard a faint response.

"Okay..."

Kyle chuckled and vanished from his spot. Bia, who had woken up due to the sound of chatter, gazed at the spot where he had stood just a second ago with a speechless and utterly incredulous look in her eyes.

-"Did that bastard forget about me!?"
