Ri's tails trembled with excitement, breathing in Dyon's scent as though she had to make sure this was real and not a dream.

Dyon lightly stroked Ri's head, tangling his finger in her long blue-silver hair. He truly felt more comfortable with her in his arms.

After a few moments, Ri finally stopped trembling enough to look up at Dyon, but she could only sigh when she saw his mask.

Dyon grinned, ”Feeling sad you can't see your husband's rugged and handsome appearance?”

Ri giggled, flicking Dyon's forehead. But, the word husband set a bombshell off in the crowd. In fact, when Ri responded as though his use of the word was only normal, they almost fainted from shock.

They had heard rumors that Ri was married. Apparently she had had a huge falling out with the Void Clan where she stated that she and her husband would come back for revenge one day. At that point, it didn't mean much because Ri was completely unknown. During that time, Dyon was still in his very first trial, while Ri hadn't even taken one yet. So, it was news that many had long since forgotten… Until today.

Knowing how powerful Ri was… How powerful was her husband?

Everyone took another look at the young man's back and couldn't help but shiver. He had a murderous aura around him that sent a cold sweat down their backs, and that aura was only reserved for those who had just recently come out of high-level trials. Could it be that he was a new Emperor as well?

Since when did Emperors become so common place? They're supposed to be rare!

”Well, you're not alone.” Dyon continued. ”I feel depressed that I can only see half of my wife's appearance too.” Dyon lightly touched the opaque white visor covering the top half of Ri's features. He felt her tremble when he did, but the feeling quickly disappeared.

Dyon couldn't help but frown when he saw this, thinking back to the Void clan rat that was scurrying through the back alleys. Originally, Dyon had been using the main roads, but his Presence caught a whiff of something he didn't like, so he decided to investigate. Now seeing Ri's reaction, he didn't like where this was going at all.

Ri knew that Dyon had seen through her, but she still quickly relaxed. There was nothing to be worried about with her man here now. ”I'll show you later.” She said with a slight blush that sent the blood of the men in the crowd boiling. ”For now, my husband can't be walking around in sweat pants and a cheap cloak. Let's go, your wife will treat you.”

Seeing Ri's reaction, Dyon could only let it go for now. But, he did find it quite funny that Ri said she'd treat him. Why did he suddenly feel like one of those mortal realm millionaires on a reality show, where his wife used a credit card he gave her to buy him gifts?

But, he was gratified that Ri acted in this way. What was his, was hers. He wouldn't have it any other way. So, he allowed her to happily drag him away from the crowd, completely forgetting about the food she left on her table.
