Chapter 89: Chapter 87: I Thought You Missed , The Exalted One
Celeste Grant waved her hand dismissively.
"Why would I mind? Of course I’d welco you if you could co, Exalted One."
She paused, her gaze landing on his cold face, but her words were recklessly bold.
"But why did you decide to co, Exalted One? Hmm, don’t tell
you... you couldn’t bear to be apart from , could you? Or is it because my unparalleled, flower-like beauty is so unforgettable that a day without
feels like three years? Is that why you rushed over so eagerly?"
"Or maybe... The Exalted One has already fallen hopelessly in love with ? So much that if I call you ’husband,’ you’ll give
your life?"
Javier Sinclair said coldly, "Haha, in your dreams. You can have anything you want there."
Though his words were harsh, his heart still skipped a beat. Looking at the woman’s beaming smile on his phone, it was as if his ears automatically filtered out everything else, hearing only that single word: ’husband’.
’It actually sounds... rather nice, hearing her say ’husband’.’
’Did this woman really not place so kind of Curse Technique on ? Why does a single, casual sentence from her make
feel like throwing down my armor and surrendering? This is insane.’
"Celeste Grant, is that all you have in that head of yours? ’Call you husband and you’ll give
your life?’ Do I look like so kind of fool who doesn’t value his life?"
He had to admit, the woman was rather good-looking. But was he that shallow? Forget calling him ’husband’ once—even if she called him that every day, he would never give his life to anyone.
His gaze fell upon her small face.
Javier Sinclair averted his gaze slightly and said in a cold voice, "I am not that shallow of a person."
Celeste Grant waved her hand.
She clutched her chest, feigning heartache.
"I misunderstood. It seems all those romance novels are liars after all."
Javier Sinclair: "Speak properly. Your lodrama is so annoying I want to twist your head off."
Celeste Grant placed a finger on her lips and blinked at him. "Really? Would you have the heart, big brother?"
Javier Sinclair’s Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.
Fuck!
’Shaless.’
’Utterly improper.’
Javier Sinclair lowered his head slightly.
He was blushing.
He put on a cold, blank expression and said, "Shut up."
Celeste Grant pointed at him.
"You snapped at ! You actually snapped at ! Fine. I guess I’ll never compare to your ’white moonlight.’ So be it. *Sigh*!"
Javier Sinclair: "..."
’What the hell is a ’white moonlight’? It’s the middle of the day. Where would moonlight co from?’
Celeste Grant snickered.
She dropped the act.
Shedding her lodramatic persona, she said seriously, "Fine, fine. I was just thinking that if you missed
and ca all this way for , I might give you a little kiss. But since you didn’t co for , then never mind."
Celeste Grant successfully managed to see his stunned, frozen face through the phone.
"So, Exalted One... want a kiss?"
A hint of anticipation actually flickered in Javier Sinclair’s bottomless eyes. ’She actually wants to kiss . Heh, this woman truly covets . She’s got so nerve.’
"I don’t need one. You shaless woman."
"Alright then, your kiss has been automatically canceled. Hanging up now! Okay, I’m done ssing with you. I’m going out for a walk, Exalted One. Bye."
Staring at the black screen of his phone,
Javier Sinclair felt so frustrated he could spit blood. He almost threw his phone in a fit of rage, but after a mont’s thought, he put it away.
"Fuck! Why does it feel like she’s bullying ?"
He, the magnificent Demonic Sovereign, was being led around by the nose again and again by a re woman. Did he have no dignity left?
"Just you wait."
"I’ll crack open your skull."
As it turned out,
when he was actually enjoying it, a big shot like him no longer needed his dignity. Of course, the Javier Sinclair of this mont would never admit that.
「anwhile」
After hanging up the phone,
Celeste Grant put her phone away.
The corners of her lips curved up. She felt that she was in a great mood. ’Turns out teasing the Archfiend whose na alone makes people tremble with fear is pretty damn fun.’
’That’s what you get for threatening to twist my head off.’
She couldn’t beat him in a fight.
’So why shouldn’t I get the upper hand with my words?’
"Haha."
’What a great mood.’
Javier Sinclair might have a sharp tongue, but if you really teased him a little, he’d be left speechless. Just like what happened a mont ago. Who would have thought that besides his peak Cultivation, The Blood-Venerate, leader of the greatest of the Demonic Sects, was a complete novice at everything else?
’This must be his other side. It’s quite a contrast.’
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Celeste Grant would never have believed that The Archfiend, who threatened to cut people down at the slightest provocation, was actually so easy to bully.
’Suddenly, I feel a bit like I’m picking on an honest man.’
However, when she first t him, Celeste Grant was genuinely scared of him. Now, she wasn’t afraid at all. It felt like the tables had completely turned.
’He actually ca.’
’That part was a little unexpected.’
’So proactive.’
Celeste Grant wouldn’t believe it for a second if soone said he wasn’t interested in her. But he probably hadn’t even realized it himself.
In truth, Celeste Grant was the type of person to just go with the flow. Even in this world, she wasn’t against the idea of falling in love.
If the feeling was right,
it wasn’t out of the question.
Of course, that was on the condition that the other person wasn’t the type to be a fickle, two-timing cheater.
Celeste Grant herself wasn’t a fickle person, either. She was very clear-cut when it ca to relationships. If the other person really had so unforgettable ’white moonlight’ or ’cinnabar mole’ from their past, then they could just stay away from her.
As for Javier Sinclair... he was worth considering.
The head of the Demonic Sects.
The vicious female side-character.
’A match made in hell!’
「That night.」
Celeste Grant spent the first half of the night in seated ditation, cultivating. When she finished and got up in the latter half of the night, she figured Javier Sinclair should have arrived by now, given the travel ti.
But he hadn’t appeared yet.
Celeste Grant touched a finger to her forehead and released her Divine Sense. Now that she was in the Golden Core Stage, her Divine Sense could cover a considerable area. She couldn’t feel Javier Sinclair’s aura anywhere nearby, which ant he still hadn’t arrived.
This surprised Celeste Grant a little.
’Could he have run into so trouble?’
Then she rembered that with his level of Cultivation, even if he did run into trouble, it would be the other party who ended up dead. With that thought, she calmly lay down.
She went right to sleep.
In this book, Javier Sinclair didn’t even die in the end, and now he had already reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. So, Celeste Grant wasn’t worried about him getting killed off by the protagonist’s group.
She reached out to stroke the head of her soundly sleeping son, leaning in to give him a kiss.
"Good night, Mommy’s treasure."
「Just before dawn.」
Celeste Grant heard a noise beside her. She turned on her side and saw a person sitting on the floor by her bed. He was leaning against the side of her bed, one hand resting on the edge of the mattress.
Celeste Grant leaned over for a closer look.
"Exalted One?"
The figure leaning against the bed turned slightly. "You’re awake? Did I wake you?"
’He didn’t even get on the bed, yet he still managed to wake .’
Celeste Grant pointed at him and whispered, "Why don’t you co sit on the bed?"
’The Archfiend, sitting on the floor... That’s a sight I never thought I’d see.’
Celeste Grant glanced at him and scooted further into the bed.
