Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 4: Kneel (1)

“Wow, wow~.”

Little Alauna looked around Soul Palace with a fascinated look on her face. She sat on Dyon’s shoulders, greedily trying to take in everything around her.

In truth, Soul Palace wasn’t much better than Unblemished Castle. Though Meiying’s designs were bordering on heavenly, Luna’s comprehension of energies didn’t lose out to anyone, making her level of Feng Shui far deeper than Meiying’s though she never truly reflected upon it.

The only reason Alauna reacted in this way was because she was a child. Of course she found new environments exciting, especially when it was a place her father called home.

“This is daddy’s home, do you like it?” Dyon smiled widely, holding onto Alauna’s small ankles to make sure she wouldn’t fall from his shoulders. Though, he was definitely being overprotective in that regard. With Alauna’s level of body control, it was nearly impossible for such a thing to happen.

“I like it, I like it!” Considering how happy Alauna was, even if Dyon brought her to a garbage dump she’d react in the same way.

Luna followed behind Dyon nervously as the six Heaven’s Children also followed behind her. They could see the nervousness of their Mistress and could only wonder why she was acting like this.

It was then that a number of swarming individuals converged upon the Soul Palace’s grand hall. The activation of a planet grade formation wasn’t something that happened every day, after all. The fact it had could only mean that something big had happened.

“Dyon? Dyon!”

Clara’s body blurred. Her Wind Spirit constitution had clearly taken a massive leap forward after she entered the celestial realm because even Dyon was astonished by her speed. She crossed what should have been several dozen meters in less than the blink of an eye, crashing into Dyon’s body.

Considering Clara’s normal disposition, it was obvious how much she had worried over the past almost year. For Dyon to swear to bring Eli back, only to not come back himself, it was a devastating blow to the Sacharro Clan. The center of their world had suddenly been taken away.

To make matters worse, Eli could only be honest with them as well. Because Dyon hadn’t allowed his wives to teleport to his inner world, for fear that they would worry too much, the information the received was squeezed from Eli himself.

When they heard that Dyon was acting weirdly, even ignoring Eli to a large extent, they began to worry more fiercely, especially when they learned that there was an individual among the Heaven’s Children capable of manipulating emotions.

But here Dyon was, with a big smile on his face as though nothing had happened.

Keeping one hand on Alauna’s little ankle, Dyon used the other to wrap around Clara’s body.

“It’s okay, I’m here now.”

The Heaven’s Children watched this scene with weird expressions on their faces, looking from their Mistress, to Clara, back to their Mistress, and then to Dyon. Suddenly, they both understood and didn’t understand why Luna had such a nervous expression. They understood because apparently the father of their Mistress’s child had more than one woman but… They couldn’t understand how a man could dare to have another woman besides the Unblemished One.

If word of this spread to the Sprite Alliance, billions of men would declare war on Dyon. No, it might even be trillions. Though, that was only if they believed something so absurd could become a reality.

Even more incredulous was the fact their Mistress wasn’t enraged by this display of affection, but was rather growing more and more nervous by the second.

Bodies continued to surge into the hall. Clara had been the fastest, but familiar figures in Meiying, Lyla, Zaire, and Amphorae appeared as well.

Soon, Delia and Eli appeared as well, following by a train of toddlers.

It was as though these individuals were intent of suffocating Dyon under a torrent of affection. Without regard for how much surface area his body had, they all piled on. In the end, Dyon was forced to raise Alauna up on a defensive formation so that she wasn’t smothered along with him.

Just when Dyon thought it couldn’t get more chaotic, Ri swept in, having returned from the Elvin Clan territory at her fastest speed and plunged into the pile as well.

The only one who didn’t join was Amphorae who smiled contentedly from the side. Maybe there wasn’t anything in existence that could make her lose her composure.

At that moment, any dissatisfaction the Heaven’s Children might have had toward Dyon couldn’t help but disappear. If a leader was so loved by those around him, they simply couldn’t bring themselves to believe that he could be a horrible man. Maybe there was a reason their Mistress gave up her innocence for this man.

Of course, they were seeing their Mistress with rose tinted glasses. It would be more accurate to say that Luna stole Dyon’s innocence rather than the other way around. After all, technically speaking, Luna lost her virginity to a woman, not Dyon. If anything, she was the impure one in their relationship.

Alauna giggled happily at this scene. Though, it was hard to tell whether she found it funny that her father was being dogpiled, or if the golden array beneath her was just that fascinating.

Finally, someone asked. historical

“Who is this adorable little girl?” Meiying’s violet eye twinkled. She pulled Little Alauna down, playing with the little girl’s chubby cheeks under her unrestrained giggling.

That was when Dyon dropped a bomb of his own.

“This is Alauna. She’s my daughter.”
