Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1918  Moonlight

Ryu slowly opened his eyes.

Not having his Life Partner by his side for so many years was definitely a hamper on his progress. He was so aimless sometimes, and it made him miss the days when Ailsa would tell him exactly what to do.

It was an odd thought for him to have, especially when he was both so arrogant and likewise so angry with her right now. But she was also his wife and one of the only women that could make him change his approach to life.

After reading the documents that she had left behind, he realized even more how powerful her presence in his life had been.

But he had already known this… and these thoughts didn't change much at all.

Right now, he wasn't here by the grace of Ailsa's kindness. He was here because he was a Throne and no one could stop him from reading what he wanted to read regardless of the circumstances.

Ryu slowly stood to his feet to find that many were looking right at him.

At that moment, a young woman appeared before him. She was teetering as though she might collapse at any time, and it only took Ryu a glance to realize that she was the Wobbling Fairy from earlier.

It had already been six months since Ryu had been here, and he had been asleep maybe even a week or two after his Throne Challenge, so it had almost been seven months since he had seen her despite how short the time seemed to them as cultivators.

"Is something the matter?" Ryu asked.

He only asked so much because he was giving this little woman face. She reminded him of Hope…

The irony was that of all his women, he had spent the third most time with Hope. Only Elena and Yaana had been by his side for more time.

Those days, stuck in the black hole time warp, the only person he had to talk to was Hope. And then there was the fact that she had put her life on the line to save him from a shameless blow from a shameless man.

All of that didn't even mention the fact she was very likely carrying his child right now.

He had suppressed much of these feelings during their combat so it wouldn't affect his actions, but now it was hard to continue to do so… especially considering his mental state.

While he had calmed somewhat from six months ago, there was still a smoldering fury deep within his heart, and right now this little wobbling princess was suppressing that fury.

The Wobbling Fairy looked up at Ryu curiously… or at least that's what Ryu thought she was doing. It was hard to tell when her eyes were so unfocused.

"Come, come…" she said with slurred speech that almost sounded like baby babble.

She took Ryu's hand into her small one. She seemed barely capable of almost wrapping her hand around four of his fingers.

Ryu frowned. He still had other plans and wanted to break through. But in the end, he chose to let this little woman pull him along.

Well, it was hard to say he had much of a choice at all when she had already broken into the Dao Sovereign Realm. Although she was new, it was clear that she had also become among the strongest of this Realm in an instant.

Ryu was probably one of the very few that could withstand the cloud of wine around her right now.

…

Wobbling Fairy took Ryu away under everyone's gazes and soon they were standing beneath the moonlight in a wide field. Motes of light floated about almost aimlessly and in contrast with the deep blacks and dark greens, it was quite peaceful.

There was the sound of running water in the distance, and the moon shone brightly from above. However, other than this, there was nothing.

No wildlife, no amenities, just the strictest form of nature that there was.

This place was Wobbling Fairy's courtyard, and they had received not just one odd glance for being here.

Wobbling Fairy disappeared for a moment, then came back with a jug of wine larger than Ryu's head before handing it over.

She was a bit forceful with it, causing Ryu to take a step back. But it didn't seem like she had done it on purpose. She was just one, seemingly incapable of controlling her body, and two, she was letting Ryu know that he couldn't refuse and had accidentally gone a bit overboard.

Ryu looked down at the jug of wine in his hand.

He had never been a drinker, mostly because his first life was too weak. It was hard enough finding Spiritual Herbs that wouldn't shatter him into a million pieces, let alone finding a wine that could do the same.

Wines were almost always extremely strong, contrary to the world of mortals.

Ryu shook his head and chose to unseal the jar. The smell alone almost knocked him out.

It was like honey that was far too concentrated. It wasn't pleasant at all. If anything, it could make a man sick if he breathed it in for too long.

But this scent was like a claw ripping up his nostrils and into his brain. Instantly, he felt the world spinning around him as well.

'Such strong… wine…'

Ryu shook his head, trying to maintain his focus. But more and more of it was just slipping away.

He was about to take drastic measures to dispel it when Wobbling Fairy moved again. The jar in his hands was forced to his lips and his head was forcefully tilted back.

Everything after that went completely black. It took nothing more than a single drop of that red liquid.

Ryu found that his mind was completely lost, and when he woke up, there was a woman in his arms.

Ryu couldn't help but frown. Had he just been drugged and taken advantage of?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
