205 Really come with you? (1/2)

Not much later, she once again appeared back on the ship. This time she was carrying Tellia in her arms. Something that looked quite funny. She didn't have a large frame and it would be correct to call her lolita but now she was carrying a fully grown woman in her arms.

As soon as she sat down Tellia, she hurriedly ran towards Serge, ”Can I really come with you?”, she asked eagerly.

Before he could even respond, his master already answered the question, ”Of course. Short time visits aren't much of a problem and for you, a long term stay isn't that hard either.”

”Really? I heard that it was nearly impossible to come to our realm and stay there for a long time.”, Serge asked with surprise. This was, what he had heard and also the reason why he had decided to split up with Tellia. He didn't want her to live a life of only waiting for him. Only being able to meet him whenever the System allowed it, or he came up to this realm. And he wasn't ready to forsake his family to stay with the woman he loved, something that she had been extremely understanding of.

”That's because you have to basically belong to someone from the lower realm to stay there long term. In your example: If Tellia marries you, the marriage contract has to be so much in your favor that it allows her to stay. I guess, that you have to include things, like that she is unable to divorce you and that she has to follow a certain set of orders from you.”, Miss. Klein explained.

Hearing that, everyone nodded. Which cultivator would be able to give up their personal freedom for a chance to go to a lower realm? If it was a higher realm than there wouldn't be much problem finding some. The same was if there were benefits for their cultivation, something that was completely absent in this case.

”Besides that, the person also will lose all talent and cultivation.”, the next sentence was a true death sentence for any cultivator wanting to proceed on the path of cultivation. Of course, for a mortal like Tellia, this was no problem at all. It wasn't like she would lose anything.

”So you can just come with us for now and if both of you are happy you can make it permanent.”, Miss. Klein smiled at the young couple.

”But will your parents accept me? After all, I'm just a mortal.”,Tellia asked Serge in a worried tone of voice.

This question earned a smile from everyone else on the ship beside Clara, confusing Tellia. In her mind, Serge was a cultivator and as such had a completely different status from her. So for him bringing back a mortal, wouldn't his parents disagree?

”Haha.”, Ivan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. ”I don't think you have to worry about that. Instead, worry about them being too happy.”

This earned a nod from Miss. Klein while Serene looked questioningly. She didn't have any contact with Serge's parents or Serge himself for that matter, so she didn't understand what he was talking about.

Serge on the other hand looked embarrassed. His parents and especially his mother had always worried about his lack of a girlfriend. Before he had still been able to handle her, but after she had gotten to know Ivan and the fact that he already had a child, she had become much more difficult to handle. At this point, she would gladly accept anyone as long as she could get a grandchild.

He lovingly stroked Tellia's hair and nodded, ”Yes. You don't have to worry about that. I'm certain that my parents will be extremely happy.”

Hearing him say those words, she relaxed and melted into his arms.

Serene looked at the sweet couple and sighed. How come she hadn't found a partner. Suddenly her eyes swerved towards Ivan and lit up. Instead of a partner, how about a child? Hmm, she would have to think about it carefully.

Not knowing what weird thoughts his potential master to be had, Ivan sat down relaxed on one of the chairs.

”Would you like a cup of tea?”, he had barely sat down when Clara asked him this question. She had gotten to know him well enough to understand that he loved drinking tea while relaxing.

”Sure. If it isn't to much work.”, he responded while proceeding to close his eyes. He still hadn't finished fully going through the things he had experienced during the competition.
