Returning to His Tribe

Lucas continued, "I do know a little about the wind element: Fast, Slow, Sound Waves, Music, Windwalking, Spatial Wind, Essence of Wind, Dimension Attack, and Doppelganger."

After hearing Lucas list the nine aspects of wind, Little Kitty Rihanna was still thinking. Little Bear Anton, however, asked, "Boss, do the other elements have nine aspects just like wind?"

Lucas shook his head and continued, "No. The Four Edicts aren't divided into Profound Mysteries. Aside from wind, the other elements all have six!"

Little Kitty Rihanna was rather pleased to hear this and said, "Then I'm going to comprehend the wind element. After all, having more means it's stronger."

Lucas smiled and said to the two of them, "That's not how it works. Overall, the Four Edicts are somewhat stronger. As for the other elements, there's ultimately no difference once you become a god!"

Unconvinced, Little Kitty Rihanna asked, "Then why does wind have more than the others?"

Naturally, Lucas didn't know why. That was simply how Hongmeng had set things up when he created the Coiling Dragon Subordinate Universe. So he told the two of them, "I don't know either, but don't reach beyond your grasp. I'm telling you this now because you've reached the point where you can begin comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the Laws. I told you so you could avoid unnecessary detours."

"Once you've comprehended a Profound Mystery, focus your efforts in that direction and become a god first."

Little Bear Anton and Little Kitty Rihanna nodded. Lucas then said to Anton, "Let's go. We'll head to the foot of that cliff first and rest for the night. I need to recover my spiritual power."

Once they reached the foot of the cliff, Little Bear Anton stood guard. Lucas began using his meditation method to recover his spiritual power, while the injured Little Kitty Rihanna sat beside him, absorbing elements to heal.

A month later, Lucas had finally recovered his spiritual power to its previous level. The kitten had also recovered considerably. After breakfast, Lucas set off toward his tribe. They encountered no particularly powerful magical beasts along the rest of the journey and returned to his tribe easily.

When Lucas returned, his father, Abuda, had also reached the seventh level. His mother was delighted to see him back. Seeing that only his parents and younger brother were home, Lucas asked, "Where's my little sister?"

His father, Abuda, answered directly, "Over the years, everyone in the tribe has been calling you the tribe's greatest genius. Your sister Grace has always been competitive, so she went out with her companions a few years ago to train and prove herself."

His mother also noticed the kitten in Lucas's arms and asked, "Who's this?"

Lucas introduced the kitten to his family. Then his father, Abuda, pointed to the younger brother Lucas had only seen when the boy was little and said, "This is your younger brother, Allen."

Lucas looked at his timid younger brother, who showed none of a man's bold, uninhibited disposition. Even when their father, Abuda, introduced him, he only gave Lucas a simple greeting.

Lucas understood. After all, he hadn't spent much time at home. His younger brother was rather reserved, so Lucas didn't mind. He gave him an Eighth-Level Magic Beast Core and said, "Consider this Eighth-Level Magic Beast Core a gift for our reunion. You can form a contract with a Seventh-Level Magical Beast and have it swallow this core. There's a chance it could advance!"

After accepting the Magic Beast Core, he merely said thank you. Lucas ate at home that day, then went to find Windsor that evening. Ever since she had last gone out to train, he hadn't seen her in a long time!

In the quiet night, Lucas and Windsor sat side by side on a boulder. It was peaceful and sweet. Holding Lucas's hand, Windsor said, "Did you know? I've reached the seventh level too."

Lucas held her hand and said, "I know."

"No, you don't. In my eyes, you've always, always been a genius.

"You were so dazzling the first time I met you. Later, you even invented a method for cultivating Battle Qi. I thought that if I learned Battle Qi, I wouldn't fall behind you." "But later, I realized the gap between us was growing wider and wider. So I went out to train without looking back! Now I've reached the seventh level too. Although I don't know what level of warrior you are now, I'll keep chasing after you, always..."

Lucas understood that a young woman's love often needed no reason. He himself knew the details of cultivation and what he needed to do at each level. Though he had faced life-threatening crises during this time, his progress had been relatively smooth overall.

Keeping up with him had been hard on her. Since she had said all this, Lucas, who was certainly no man oblivious to romance, leaned in and kissed her.

Little Bear Anton and Little Kitty Rihanna were nearby. Rihanna was still young among magical beasts and rarely came into contact with humans. Moreover, most humans the kitten had encountered before had become food. Not understanding what Lucas and Windsor were doing, Rihanna asked Anton, "What are Boss and her doing?"

Little Bear Anton had spent far longer in human society than Little Kitty Rihanna and was already an adult, so he naturally knew more than the kitten. He said to Rihanna in a sleazy manner, "They're getting ready to make a little Boss."

Although Rihanna didn't quite understand, Little Kitty Rihanna immediately said, "Really? Then I want to get closer and watch."

Little Bear Anton hurriedly grabbed the kitten. Meanwhile, Lucas was inwardly exasperated. These two were communicating through their souls without making any attempt to hide it from him. As their contractor, Lucas could naturally hear their words very clearly. He sent them a mental message, telling them both to go away!

Seeing that his boss had spoken, Anton hurriedly dragged Little Kitty Rihanna away.

After kissing her for a while, Lucas wanted to go further, but the bashful young woman evaded him and said with a flushed face, "Wait until we're married."

Seeing that she still wanted to run, Lucas pulled her into his arms. Although he respected his little girlfriend, he would still get his hands where they needed to be. After a long while, Windsor asked, "How long are you staying this time?"

Lucas knew she was chasing after him. She was asking because she feared he would leave for years again, just like last time, with no telling how long she would have to wait! Lucas also understood that he would eventually become a god. If she wanted to remain by his side, she would at least need to become a Saint. So he said, "Let's get married first, while we're here. After that, I'll take you traveling around the continent."

Hearing that Lucas wanted to marry her, Windsor happily took the initiative and gave him a kiss.
