Chapter 1638 - Leisure (2) (1/2)
Two weeks later, Dyon sat reclined to the back of Soul Palace. This place was just as beautiful as Dyon remembered it. Quite frankly, it seemed like a fairy wonderland.
Before him, a small lake sat. Madeleine, Ri and Delia were playing with the two babies while dipping their toes in the water, as for Clara, she was lightly snoring on Dyon's c.h.e.s.t, completely drained. Cultivators had no need for sleep, but it was still the most efficient way to regain stamina. Although one could use a pill as a replacement, relying on one's own body was always the best method.
Dyon felt responsible for Clara's tiredness. She had spent the past two weeks pouring of records and constructing a new governance system. Dyon suddenly realized just how silly it was of him to try and hold that meeting so soon. Him pushing it back was definitely a blessing in disguise.
Still, Dyon felt at peace. Even though he was being used as a human pillow, such a matter only made him smile lightly. He was even considering taking an even longer break.
To the back of his mind, he knew he was missing an opportunity. With the Golden Crow Sect's strongest away at the conference, if Dyon used this chance to sweep through the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sects, he would gain a staunch advantage. With his support, the Flaming Lily Sect's would easily crush those two lesser Sects.
However, Dyon pushed these things to the back of his mind.
By now, the world was likely wondering where he had disappeared to again. The matters of what happened golden flame quadrant spread like wildfire, leaving many anticipating his debut on the celestial floors.
The Demon Generals had become a household name for a while now. Dyon had left the matters of the celestial floor in their hands, but there was only so much they could do without an absolute expert. After all, even the strongest of them was still a lower celestial. It was because of this many wondered when Dyon would come to support his men.
Some expected more from the Demon Generals. After all, their rebuffing the Golden Crow Sect had become a matter of legend. But, many felt that their appearance had been lackl.u.s.ter. They were simply too weak.
Although some pointed out that they were young, others didn't seem to care. By this point, even Emytheus' brotherhood of guardians had left the Demon Generals far behind, fervently chasing after the Star Force and Heavenly Sword Guild.
It wasn't until news of Dyon's and Madeleine's ”child” became public knowledge that many understood Dyon's disappearance. A good majority praised Dyon for ignoring the chattering of the public in order to be in his child's life, but other, more sinister individuals looked down on him. They believed it was Dyon's fault for foolishly having a child so early in his life to begin with. Now that he was slowing his own progression for its sake, it made his foolishness even more clear.
Even with all of this news making its way to Dyon, he didn't make any moves, enjoying his time of leisure. Sure, there would come a day where he took them by storm once more, but that wasn't today. He felt that with each day that passed, his mind was further tempered. Although he didn't notice it, his mental energy reserves had increased slightly. If he went to the Crystal Dragon Clan's Calming Lake now, the benefits he would receive would be marginally better than before.
