The Prince's eyes sparkled with joy, a wide smile spreading across his face. The King clasped his son's back and declared, "We will propose the marriage tomorrow; I've already informed the realm protectors. The sooner we arrange the marriage, the better for us.""Thank you, father," the prince responded gratefully.The King chuckled and added, "Don't let me down."After a brief chat, the Prince departed from the King's chambers. Returning to his own chambers, he found himself too elated to sleep. Tossing and turning in bed, he fretted over the sluggish passage of time.At daybreak, he headed for his bath without waiting for his attendants, taking his time to look his best. Pleased with his reflection in the mirror, he turned to the astonished maids who had come to assist him and inquired, "How do I appear?"The maids all bowed and replied, "You look handsome, my prince," as the head maid confirmed.The prince chuckled heartily before hurrying to Jayson's room and rapping on the door.
"Surprised at my arrival on Earth?" Ella interjected, effortlessly discerning Jayson's unspoken inquiries.Jayson nodded, unable to deny his curiosity about how Ella had managed to journey to Earth.Before Ella could explain, a lady suddenly appeared behind her and announced, "Miss, the Wade family is here to discuss a marriage proposal. Grandmaster Gamma asked me to fetch you."Ella exchanged a glance with Jayson before slipping out of view. Jayson stood there, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.Turning his attention to the two elderly men, Jayson found them gazing at him in silence. "It's been quite some time. How about sharing a drink with me and catching up?" Jayson suggested with a wry smile, hoping to get to the bottom of the situation.The two men remained impassive, showing no sign of interest, which left Jayson visibly frustrated by their demeanour. He shrugged, took a seat on the bench, and began stacking spirit stones in front of him, pulling them from the numerous st
As Jayson surveyed the teeming mass of people, the shifting front line of the battlefield reflected the dire straits of the human race. Despite their best efforts, the armies of humanity struggled to gain ground against the demon and ghost races.A sudden realization darkened Jayson's gaze as he turned to Elena. "You didn't bring me here just to witness this, did you?" he inquired.Ella smiled before nodding. "I brought you here to dissuade you from joining the human army."Jayson was taken aback by Ella's statement; he had never intended to enlist. What astounded him was Ella's opposition to the idea."Why?" Jayson asked, his eyebrows furrowed.Ella sighed and gestured toward the now-yellowing sun. Jayson seethed at the whimsical display, entertaining the notion of confronting whoever was responsible for such childish behaviour.When Ella remained silent, Jayson decided to inquire, "Who created that sun?" He was noticeably irritated. Ella placed a finger on his lips, signalling him t
Jayson vowed earnestly, though he never imagined he would one day have to protect someone like Ella, who had such a formidable grandfather. To his surprise, Grandmaster Gamma replied, "Then I will count on you."Startled, Jayson's smile faltered, but the old man offered no explanation and promptly sent him away.As Jayson made his way back to Ella's room, he couldn't shake off the weight of Grandmaster Gamma's words. When he knocked on the door, Ella jumped up and eagerly let him in, her face etched with concern."Did my grandfather give you a hard time?" she asked anxiously, not even waiting for Jayson to step inside.Ella's familiarity with her grandfather caught Jayson by surprise, but she didn't offer any advice on how to approach the old man. In response, Jayson puffed out his chest and proudly proclaimed, "Your grandfather was in awe of my aura, captivated by my handsomeness, and impressed by my strength; he even appointed me as your protector." Ella, however, simply rolled her
The King made no effort to stop Justin from revealing their previous agreement to Jayson; he too was eager to understand the sudden turn of events.Without a word, the realm protector produced a letter that hung motionless in the air, unaffected by the howling wind. As Prince Justin read the words, his eyes widened in recognition. He couldn't deny that the calligraphy wasn't his own, but he had no memory of writing such a letter.Turning to Prince Justin, the King demanded, "Did you write this letter?"Before Prince Justin could respond, Jayson interjected, "Father, who knows what he was thinking to make such a decision, brother? I envy you; you have the heart of a wartime general, the courage of a battalion, and the fearlessness of gods."As Jayson continued to prattle on, Prince Justin's already pale face grew even paler. After a moment of contemplation, the King turned to Jayson and asked, "Did you do it? Did you transform into my son and write the letter?""Bingo!" Jayson exclaime
Standing before the imposing figure, Jayson struggled to muster a friendly expression, resulting in a forced smile that felt more like a grimace."You don't seem too thrilled to see me," Grandmaster Gamma observed, noting Jayson's discomfort.Caught off guard, Jayson laughed nervously, his hands flailing as he tried to mask his true feelings. "Oh, no, of course not! I... I really like you. I mean, love you," he stammered, attempting to recover.Grandmaster Gamma chuckled softly before adopting a more serious expression. "I have a request," he said, his gaze fixed on Jayson. "If the day ever comes when humanity faces annihilation, I ask that you do everything in your power to help our race survive."Jayson was taken aback by the unexpected plea. He didn't consider himself a hero, yet he couldn't bring himself to refuse Grandmaster Gamma's solemn request.Observing the conflicting emotions on Jayson's face, Grandmaster Gamma interjected, "Consider it a request from your father-in-law."
Jayson exhaled heavily as he finally grasped the reason behind Grandmaster Gamma's decision to send Ella away. The Old man had been willing to relinquish his granddaughter to Jayson because he knew he will soon be killed.Disembarking flying battleship, they spotted Ella kneeling before a tree. Surveying the surroundings, Jayson could only admire the vast expanse of lush greenery and majestic trees. Monkey Lord furrowed his brow, bewildered by the recent events. "Kid, what happened to that girl's family?"Having witnessed the ruthless actions of Dao Emperor Kun, who had single-handedly annihilated the entire fairy race, Jayson struggled to comprehend why the old man had chosen to stay and face certain death. The peculiar inclinations of cultivators puzzled him."Is that bullshit Dao Emperor Kun" Jayson seethed with anger, his eyes ablaze with fury as he cursed vehemently.Monkey Lord's face turned ashen as he swiftly manipulated the environment and fled.Jayson looked around, bewilder
Ella closed her lips in a firm line, contemplating the words of one of her protectors before reaching a decision. With a subtle manipulation of the space around her, she closed the gap between herself and Jayson, enveloping him in a tight embrace from behind and resting her head against his back. "I'm sorry," she murmured softly.Jayson's anger dissipated instantly; no one could resist a beautiful woman seeking forgiveness. For a few moments, the two of them chatted and held hands, lost in their own world. Monkey Lord grumbled in annoyance, "You two should take it easy; no need to make a man like me jealous.""Then find yourself a wife," Jayson retorted, stealing a quick kiss from Ella. She pouted playfully before returning the kiss, and they continued their affectionate display.Monkey Lord covered his eyes; he couldn't bear to watch the couple carry on with such a ridiculous show of romance.As they sought out an inn to grab a meal, they had barely settled in when two men sent by th
