Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1974 Womanizing

?Chapter 1974 Womanizing

Ryu suddenly felt that his body was incredibly light and he couldn't help but chuckle. He could read Hope's thoughts without much effort and he knew what she must be feeling.

Indeed, he had boxed her in a bit too much. She was an alchemist. first and foremost; everything else came secondary to her.

All things considered, it might actually be somewhat impressive that she could harm Reverend Dark Claw because his Godhood wasn't founded on combat at all.

He had been worried about her trying to help him because the qi would definitely harm her. But he hadn't considered the fact that she could use a pill to reverse his situation.

It didn't even seem like it had taken much effort from her... and that was when he realized something else.

He was likely not the only one with Fate affinity.

Why was it that Hope had been able to sense his existence? Why could she create pills that could reverse and change Fate?

Wasn't the answer to that obvious?

In fact, if he wanted someone who could teach him how to use his Fate affinity to the greatest extent, the answer was probably this little wife of his.

Just now, that pill had bolstered his control over Fate. The moment he grasped it, the effort it took to manipulate it had plummeted and he had been able to reverse his situation in an instant.

The combination of Hope and himself was truly powerful.

Suddenly, he looked down at her belly and couldn't help but smile. His first child would truly be a little monster, now wouldn't they?

Hope blushed and pinched his cheek.

"Where are you looking? Pervert!"

"I seem to remember that it was someone else who begged me to be their Dao Companion. Who was that again?"

Hope blushed profusely. "You're not allowed to bring that up!"

Ryu laughed heartily, standing to his feet and sweeping Hope into his arms as though he couldn't sense those on their way at all.

He planted a kiss on her lips, greedily almost inhaling her pleasant scent.

She squirmed a little bit before she seemed to melt.

She had kissed Ryu before... but for some reason, this felt like their first. She could practically feel his heart opening up to her and it made her feel like she was riding on a cloud. There was even a slight moan that left her lips.

But then she felt like she was electrocuted when Ryu's hand pinched her bottom. She jumped, almost taking Ryu's nose out.

Ryu's laughter made her feel more embarrassed, but also confused.

She could never understand men. In her time, she had been ogled more than once. She could never understand the fascination with such a weird place.

Ryu smiled, finding this little woman quite adorable. He didn't understand why she was so bold

sometimes and so shy at others. He was going to take his time to truly understand her. Sometimes he thought about why it was that he was so attached to Elena. Of course, she was his first. love and that was obvious enough. But it was deeper than that.

When he first met. Ailsa, there was a strong attraction to her as well, and he was ultimately a man, but he had no intention of crossing that line with her. And it went beyond just him hating the Heavens being involved in his affairs...

He just didn't want to betray Elena's trust, which was ironic considering she was always the one trying to convince him to have more women.

But the reality of it all was that he had felt such strong emotions for her because he knew her like the back of his hand. She had been his fiancée for centuries, and though he never touched her during those times, at least not so intimately, their hearts had been as close as they could be.

Didn't he owe all of his women such loyalty from him? Was it fair if he didn't give them such a thing? How well did he know them? How many of them did he know as well as Elena?

He had known Yaana so well once, but not only was she gone now, she had been reborn and even changed her name. Was she still the Nuri he had once known?

He thought that Ailsa might fit the bill, but she had experienced trillions of years of life without him. What right did he have to say that he still knew her? And this situation only seemed to further prove that.

When his thoughts reached this point, Ryu found himself relaxing somewhat, his Dao Heart shining more resplendently.

He was so reluctant to "seal the deal' with Hope not because of Ailsa, but because he felt that he owed her more than just the cock between his legs.

He wanted to make her happy.

He wanted to make all of his women happy.

He had always wanted to make them all happy....

It was just that his methods were too immature, and maybe that was the real point his father was getting at.

He had always allowed his women to be as willful as they wanted, but was that really the perfect solution?

Ryu laughed to himself, holding Hope in his arms as the world collapsed around them.

Plenty of women had thrown themselves into his arms in his life, but he had always been terrible at wooing them himself. His "charm" was practically nonexistent. He only seemed capable of attracting women when he didn't give a damn about them.

Ile had ignored Elena and been quite cruel to her for the longest time.

Ailsa was a perfect mirror image of that situation.

Yaana was more of the same, though he had only ignored her and never been so cruel to her.

Time and time again, the same matters were reflected.

It seemed he could only attract women with his pretty face and terrible personality.

That was fine enough to get them... but what about keeping them? Did he have any method aside from threats and the societal pressure around them? Or the fact he had their Primordial Yins in his clutches?

He suddenly recalled Eska's words... or rather, Isemeine's words on behalf of Eska.

Eska hadn't liked the way he treated Wobbling Fairy not because she cared for the woman herself, but rather because it made her look bad as his wife?

She was an extremely prideful woman, and that was part of why Ryu liked her so much. She was his favorite type of woman. And as such, because of her pride, she couldn't stand the idea of another woman thinking that her husband was inferior in any way.

If her husband couldn't even woo women properly, wouldn't that be just as embarrassing?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Ryu looked into Hope's eyes, his smile becoming deeper.

It seemed that he was going to have to train up his womanizing.

Hope's blush deepened. "Stop looking at me..."

"Where do you want me to look?

"I don't know! Somewhere else!"

Hope seemed to have forgotten that there were enemies on their way as well. Ryu had stopped touching her ass, but just the firm hand on the small of her back made it difficult for her to focus on

anything else.

"Our Fate is tied, right?' Ryu asked.

"Of course!" Hope replied almost absentmindedly.

"Interesting..." Ryu said with a chuckle.

Suddenly, Hope felt a tug on her. Her blush deepened when she realized it was her Primordial Yin.

What was this guy doing?!

"Let me borrow it for a bit.'

"You can't just...!" Hope didn't even know what to say. This guy...

Ryu's smile didn't fade and it made it hard for her to even look directly at him.

"Just for a little bit, I'll give it back."

"You..!"

Pat. Pat.

Another jolt went through Hope as she felt two light taps. Her Primordial Yin hadn't had much resistance the first place, but now it practically flew out of her body. She still didn't even know how that was even possible.

Suddenly, the connection between her and Ryu became even firmer and she could practically see

through his eyes.

Ryu's plan was simple, really. He was going to lean on his wife to act a little badass for a moment. Since he had a Dao God for a wife, why not take advantage?

Suddenly, the two completely vanished.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hundreds of Fiends at the Sovereign Realm and above appeared high in the skies. They thought that

they had already surrounded the duo, and yet...

Nothing.

How was that even possible?

PUCHI!

One of them suddenly fell from the skies. It was a completely inexplicable death, one that struck

down like a bolt from the blue.

The group froze, looking around with wary gazes.

PUCHI!

Another fell, just as silently, just as inexplicably. There was nothing to sense, nothing to grasp.

PUCHI!

Yet another.

Then another.

Fear gripped their hearts and their stomachs rolled in their guts.

Run.

They had to run.
