Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2081 An Angel's Descent

As Ryu had expected, Rinushka was quite powerful. But there were several things working against her that Ryu had seen through.

For one, she was too arrogant, and that was coming from Ryu. She really thought that just because she had her blade out like that, and that she was close, that his head was actually just on a platter for her taking.

Second, there was a Dao God right there. By default of Star River's presence, Lords and Sovereigns couldn't even begin to use their Control, leaving her unable to use her full strength.

Third, Star River couldn't affect Ryu's Control at all. That was because when it came down to it, if he was truly desperate... Ryu could always use his Childe of Order Constitution which would allow the laws of the world to work for him. As though that wasn't enough, he still had his own Inner World.

Rinushka had all of these disadvantages active before she even attacked.

By then, it was easy for Ryu to use a one-inch, one-mile principle to make her feel like she had stabbed at air. His control over Spacetime was leaps and bounds beyond anything it had been able to do in the past.

And then there was the final attack...

That was nothing more than [Fate Reversal] on a much higher level than anything he had ever displayed before. And the reason he could do it was precisely because Rinushka couldn't use her Control.

Usually, Ryu had to get injured first before he could use Fate Reversal. But this time, he used his Fate and Karma Soul Nature to pick out a different timeline, one where

Rinushka's blade had succeeded in killing him.

Then he reversed that one.

This was one of the more powerful abilities that his new Spacetime Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils could allow him to access.

Unfortunately, this time it only worked because Rinushka couldn't use her Control. But when his eye was complete, it wouldn't matter what Control his opponent had.

The world would be his oyster to do with it what he pleased.

"This time, your life was saved because my wife pleaded for you. Nothing more, nothing less. The next time you piss me off, I won't be nearly so kind."

Star River sighed a breath of relief when Rinushka finally showed signs of healing. She couldn't help but feel rage when she heard Ryu's words, but she really didn't know what to do.

Of course she was biased toward Rinushka, but this time... she had truly gone too far. She didn't even know if she could even blame Ryu had he killed her outright.

"It's time. I'll return with you to my home," Ryu said with a smile toward a somewhat dazed Wobbling Fairy. It was clear that she was shocked that Ryu had actually listened to her words. She could tell that just moments ago, Ryu truly had every intention of killing Rinushka, even if it infuriated Star River. "You'll get to meet my parents. Who knows, maybe my father will scold me again for bringing too many women home. But I know my mother will be happy."

Wobbling Fairy blushed. What was this man talking about?

The rest of the Sect could only watch as Ryu vanished with Wobbling Fairy by his side.

"R... Ryu...?" Wobbling Fairy asked softly, the confusion in her eyes still very much there as they strolled through the skies toward their final destination.

"Yes?"

"Why?"

Ryu blinked. "Why what?"

"You..." Wobbling Fairy was speechless. Did she really have to say it out loud?

Ryu laughed. "I'm waiting. What do you want to ask?"

Wobbling Fairy grit her teeth. "Why did you spare Rinushka?"

"Hm? Isn't that what you wanted me to do? We can go back and kill her now. To be honest, she really did piss me off back there."

"That's not what I meant!"

Ryu laughed again. Of course he understood what she meant.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I already gave you the answer. Isn't that what you wanted me to do? What other reason do I need?"

Wobbling Fairy didn't even know what to say and almost started crying again.

"What are you talking about... why are you such a fool..." she wiped the unshed tears from her eyes, cursing herself for crying again.

She couldn't even remember the last time she had cried, but now it felt like an every moment occurrence.

"Me? A fool? Never me. How could you say such a thing?"

Wobbling Fairy found herself laughing.

"And what would you do if I told you to leave all your other women and only be with me?"

"Okay, anything but that." Ryu nodded without missing a beat.

Wobbling Fairy was rendered speechless again. This man truly had a face as thick as a

Sect's wall. He didn't even miss the smallest beat.

"Anything? But that?" Wobbling Fairy asked with emphasis.

"Of course."

"And if I told you to castrate yourself!"

"Okay, anything but that." Ryu nodded again.

"To disrespect your mother?"

"Okay, anything but that."

"Fight your father."

"Okay, anything but that."

Wobbling Fairy went from being speechless to just laughing. This man was a hypocrite through and through, and he was facing against his own hypocrisy with such a bold face that he didn't even seem to recognize his own flaws...

Either that or he was aware and simply didn't care. "What if I don't want to be your wife?" She finally asked.

"You have no choice, unfortunately." Ryu nodded again.

"And why's that?"

"Think of how sad you'll be if you leave me and then realize there's no man that could ever compare. How depressed would you be? If you think about it, I'm really just. saving you from yourself. No need to thank me. Such things are trivial between husband and wife."

Wobbling Fairy was rendered speechless once more before she started laughing so hard that a different sort of tear streak began to accumulate on her soft, rosy cheeks. Her laughter filled the skies and sounded like the bells of an angel's descent.
