Chapter 922 - Confession

Chapter 922 - Confession

For Jason, it was as if this question came out of nowhere as they had just entered the mission hall.

Yet, for Jennifer, this topic had always been quite difficult to talk about.

Thus, upon seeing her worried expression, he was not sure what was going on.

His first thought was that Jennifer was not sure if she wanted to join him if their path and journey were to become too dangerous.

Yet, after looking deep into her eyes, he realized that it was just her curiosity and worry that made her ask this question out of nowhere.

"After we procure the Soa crystals…I think it would be best to leave the Ninad beast realm. I don't like the trouble and threat the Soul Monarch poses to us.

It makes me feel uncomfortable. In the end, I think it would be best for us to search for a way to reach Tagran.

In fact, as you already know, I just want to search for my grandparents to get to know a few things and to learn more about my ancestry and so on.

As such, I need to get clues about them first. Thus, we have to search for the world bridge that leads towards Tagran on priority.

I only know if Manyr has one of such permanent world bridges for sure.

That means…we should go back to Manyr, right?

What do you think?"

In the end, Jason could choose everything for himself, deciding where he would go, when, and with whom.

However, that was not what he wanted to do.

By getting together with Jennifer he had accepted her wholeheartedly which was represented by his stigma on her neck.

As such, she was as important to him as his soulbonds that were, in fact, a part of his own body, and his closest possible family.

After asking her of her opinion, he kept looking deep into her eyes and awaited her answer.

While doing so, Jason noticed the changes in Jennifer's expression.

She was flustered about being asked for a possible location to find his grandparents, and she slowly realized that his question had an even deeper meaning.

He did not only want to know what she thought about the current question and situation.

Rather, Jason wanted to include her in the decision-making process of what they were about to do.

This warmed Jennifer's heart and she looked at him with a loving gaze as she blurted out anything that came to her mind.

"I can go everywhere you want…I love you!"

Initially, Jennifer was taken by surprise, but hearing the sudden and spontaneous confession from her felt even weirder to him.

Yet, instead of being taken aback, he leaned forward, and kissed her gently on the lips before murmuring softly,

"I love you too!"

In the end, Jason had never felt romantically attracted to anyone to say that he loved them.

In fact, there had never been a lover in his life.

Yet, he had loved many people, whether it were his soulbonds, his mother, or Shane and Dalia.

As such, Jason knew that love also included the fact that one would never want to live without that person.

His feelings for Jennifer were different from what he had felt about his close ones so far.

He felt a deeper connection to her which was quite different from the normal feeling of love he had known all his life.

Thus, he could confidently confess to Jennifer about his feelings before he grasped her hand and dragged her within the mission hall.

Perceiving her heated gaze, Jason knew what she wanted, and he felt exactly the same.

However, he initially wanted to suppress his desires, knowing that they were in the wrong place to go ahead and do it.

Yet, sensing that Jennifer was approaching him, and tightly gripped his long shirt, he swallowed his saliva before turning around as he added,

"We can return to the mission hall later!"

Afterward, he picked up Jennifer, leaving the mission hall before releasing his Stigma, his Celestia aura, in addition to the moonlight mana and divine energy with which he exerted the Heres Celeration movement technique.

This allowed him to sense just how powerful he had become as he shot through the air while carrying her as if she weighed nothing.

They both reached home just a few moments later only to disappear in their room.

Only a long time later did they leave their room, with bright expressions on their faces.

Returning to the mission hall, they were able to keep their calm, ignoring some of the gazes that lingered on them.

There were some of the staff who had noticed what had happened hours before including how the two had hurriedly left the hall.

Recalling the couple's expressions, some of them were grinning brightly, while others clearly showed their envy.

Yet, Jason and Jennifer didn't even notice anything because they were in their own world.

Reading through the notes of Tier-4 missions, they were holding hands while commenting on the missions, discussing whether they were worth their effort or not.

In the end, they didn't have a clear picture of their strength yet.

Jason was confident of defeating powerful beasts at the Ascendion stage, even without the use of God's Halo or the soul fusion, while Jennifer felt the same.

However, they couldn't afford to be overly confident because their bodies were still adjusting to the advancement they made.

Otherwise, their bed wouldn't have broken just a few minutes earlier, ending their beautiful time, barely after both had finished their deed.

Thus, they decided to choose to accept rather easy missions, for now, to defeat numerous Ascendion stage wandering souls that were in abundance in their surroundings.

It was almost as if they were copulating with each other almost constantly, giving birth to new wandering souls.

Yet, that was proven to be impossible.

At least, there was no evidence to prove otherwise.

Unfortunately, the concept of wandering souls, their origin were still a mystery itself to Jason, Jennifer, and even the Yinar race.

As such, there was even more reason for Jason to take a look at the wandering souls.

After all, his soul world had been attracted to the wandering soul he had encountered before.

This didn't happen when he faced the untraceable chameleons, which was something that intrigued Jason.

Nevertheless, he was quite confident to figure out the truth behind the reaction of his soul world.

With that in mind, they chose a few missions that rewarded up to a handful of Soa crystals per mission.

It was not much, but better than nothing in Jason's opinion.

In fact, he was quite confident in completing many relatively safe missions that were nearby in order to procure Soa crystals.

Suicidal missions were not really his choice or priority, but if one were to appear, and reward him with enough Soa crystals to finish his task in the Ninad beast realm, Jason wouldn't reject it.

Only if his gut feeling was clearly indicating that there was something wrong with the mission would he choose not to take it.

Even if he trusted himself and his capabilities a lot, his gut feeling was something that had never betrayed him until now.

As such, it was something Jason believed in and trusted a lot.

Thus, while choosing missions, he picked only those that looked fine and which his gut agreed to as well.

With that in mind, there were a total of 3 missions they had picked.

All of them were in areas that were quite close to them, and if they worked fast enough, it would take only two days to gain a small bucket of Soa crystals with which he would double, or triple the amount of Soa crystals he had.

Yet, just before he reached the receptionist, Jason and Jennifer heard the young receptionist talking to a young woman, who was standing in front of them, accepting a mission.

"Don't you think it might be true that the Soul Monarch and his Guards are able to change their forms?"
