Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Female Lead, You’re Acting Up Again
Her parents were still hesitating.
Their main concern was their low Cultivation. They were afraid that if they went to a place teeming with powerful experts, they would only beco a burden to their daughter.
Celeste Grant saw their hesitation and said, "Dad, Mom, you don’t need to worry about being a burden. To , you will always be the most important people in my life. You could never be a burden. You’re the pillars of support that keep
going. Whenever I think of you behind , of my duty to protect you, I find the resolve I need to beco stronger."
She took Mr. and Mrs. Grant’s hands.
"A family like ours should always be together. I’m at the Golden Core Stage now, and I have all sorts of High-level Talismans and Defensive Magical Artifacts. I have the power to protect you. Most importantly, your daughter has more Spirit Stones than she knows what to do with right now. I’ll buy you whole streets, and you can do whatever you please. You’ll be right there with , where I can see you anyti. You’ll be able to see Annie, too. Don’t you want to see her?"
"How could we not? Of course we do."
Mr. and Mrs. Grant were swayed.
"Well, does our son-in-law have any objections?"
Celeste Grant waved her hand dismissively.
"What objection could he possibly have? Don’t be fooled by that cold, rciless, ’keep-your-distance’ face he always wears. He’s actually very good to his own people. In fact, he was the one who suggested bringing you both to live with us. But I knew you wouldn’t be comfortable living in the Bloodfiend Den, so I’ve already made a plan. If you want peace and quiet, I’ll buy you a Blessed Desne brimming with Spiritual Energy within the territory of The Demonic Sects. You can live a stable life there and quietly focus on your Cultivation. If you prefer a livelier scene, I’ll buy a few streets in Bloodfiend City for you. Living there would be great, too."
"The people living there are all our own. You will be very safe."
’Under The Archfiend’s very nose, their safety was absolutely guaranteed.’
Seeing that her parents were tempted, Celeste Grant continued, "Mom, with your ordinary aptitude, it’s hard to make breakthroughs in your Cultivation. But I’ve obtained a lot of Spiritual dicine that can improve one’s innate foundation. I’ll have the Bloodfiend Den’s Alchemy Elder refine them into Elixir Pills for you."
Hearing they could make a breakthrough, their eyes lit up.
"Really?"
Celeste Grant nodded.
"Absolutely. I have Elixir Pills that can boost your Cultivation right here, but your bodies can’t handle their potency as you are now. The Bloodfiend Den has a Blood Pool. If you soak in it for a while to strengthen your constitutions, breaking through will be much easier."
’The Bloodfiend Den’s Blood Pool has the effect of Washing Marrow and Root Bone and strengthening one’s constitution. I’ve tried it myself, and it’s quite good. This is the perfect chance for Mom and Dad to give it a try.’
’I’m really taking advantage of Javier Sinclair on this one!’
’But my parents really need it. You couldn’t necessarily find this anywhere else; after all, only a major power like the Bloodfiend Den would possess a Blood Pool.’
Mr. and Mrs. Grant had never even heard of such a thing and asked curiously, "What kind of blood is it? Demon Beast Blood or human blood?"
Hearing this, Celeste Grant almost choked before bursting into laughter. "Dad, Mom, what are you thinking? What kind of unholy place do you think the Bloodfiend Den is? ’Blood Pool’ is just a na. It’s actually made from refined Spiritual Liquid mixed with various dicinal agents. The color is just red, so it looks like blood. At worst, they might add a little Demon Beast Blood."
"Human blood? Only Evil Cultivators use such wicked thods for their Cultivation."
"It seems we misunderstood."
’It seems their prejudice against Demon Cultivators runs deep, and they still don’t understand The Demonic Sects.’
Celeste Grant said, "Dad, Mom, please co with . The main reason I ca this ti was to bring you with ."
At these words, Mr. and Mrs. Grant finally nodded. "Alright, our family will leave together. We have no real attachnts to this place anyway. Your grandfather and the others have passed on, so we don’t need to stay here to fulfill our filial duties."
Celeste Grant was overjoyed.
"Then it’s settled."
"Okay. Your father and I have never been out in the wider world. It will be a good chance to broaden our horizons."
Don’t think that in The Cultivation World, being able to fly ans you can go wherever you want. No, not at all. It’s precisely *because* this is The Cultivation World that one must be extra careful. Without sufficient Cultivation, ordinary low-level Cultivators can only find a small corner to hide away in, lest they venture out only to be killed.
"Oh, right. This is what that elder gave us. We didn’t want it, but he insisted. Why don’t you help us return it?"
Her parents then took out two storage rings and handed them to Celeste Grant.
She took them and infused a bit of Spiritual Power to look inside. They were filled with mountains of Spirit Stones, along with so talisman paper and Elixir Pills. There were also hundreds of chests tied with red silk, containing treasures so valuable you could feel it without even opening them.
Celeste Grant gave a faint smile.
’He’s certainly generous.’
With a wave of her hand, Celeste Grant took so life-saving High-level Talismans from her own Storage Ring, added them to the others, and handed both rings back to her parents.
"Mom, since he gave them with sincerity, you should just accept them. Think of it as a gift from your son-in-law to show his respect."
They could see the smile on their daughter’s face when she ntioned Javier Sinclair.
’Their precious daughter had finally been won over. For her to speak like that, it ant she really did like him.’
’It seems there’s no returning this son-in-law, then.’
’Thinking of their son-in-law’s face, they suspected their daughter had simply fallen for his looks. After all, he was impeccably handso.’
Celeste Grant and her parents weren’t in a rush to leave. Since they were already here, they decided to stay for a while and leave after paying their respects to her grandfather and the other ancestors.
The Grant Family’s ancestor worship ceremony was in half a month. Although they disliked the rest of the Grant Family and wanted nothing to do with them, paying respect to their ancestors was a different matter.
「Half a month later.」
All the Grant Family disciples who were away returned, including a few who had joined Immortal Sects to pursue their Cultivation.
However, their Cultivation levels were only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, with one of the younger ones still in the Qi Refinent Realm. There was one exception: an adopted disciple who had now reached the Golden Core Stage.
’According to the plot of the book, the Grant Family was actually supposed to do quite well later on. The only ones who suffered a tragic fate were my family.’
When it was ti for the ceremony, Celeste Grant’s family did not join the main Grant Family. Instead, they paid their respects ahead of ti and departed.
’In the past, her uncle would have definitely flown into a rage, as this was a direct challenge to his authority as the Family Head.’
’But now? He was all bows and smiles, not daring to say a single word against it.’
When the Grant Family Head, Thomas Grant, learned that this niece he had once scorned could now cultivate and had even reached the Golden Core Stage, he was sick with regret. If only he had treated her family better back then.
’Fortunately, the clan had another young disciple who had reached the Golden Core Stage. There was still hope for the family’s future prosperity. And then there was Jocelyn, who had joined an Immortal Sect. He had the highest hopes for that girl.’
