Everyone watched with a mixture of loathing, jealousy or adoration as Dyon gently placed the still shivering Madeleine in his lap, letting her head rest on his chest.
“This is the first present.” Dyon pointed out toward their position in the skies. “From today onwards, you’ll be the center of the world. No one will bully you. No one will hurt you. No one will dare do anything you don’t like while I’m here.”
The crowd sucked in a breath. They weren’t sure how to take this. This boy was about to die, but he was still in the mood for speaking sweet nothings to a girl?
It was indeed not easy for a anyone here to rise 20 meters into the air with such ease. But, The Kami Clan was one of archery!
“I’ll kill him!” Said Hashim and Lehabim fumed.
Before, they had no choice but to not take action for fear of Big Sect elder Kami, but this was a completely new situation. How could they sit back as a boy with no backing took the woman they wanted?
Jessica, though, looked on with sparkling eyes, before turning to Orbis, “If you could ever be half that romantic, I’d love you.”
Orbis’ eyes shined with passion as though accepting a challenge.
Madeleine shivered as she heard Dyon’s words, the tears she had willed to stop started flowing again.
Dyon smiled, “The second present is actually a little guy we’ll raise together.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“Even if she loves you, you can’t say things like that here!”
“Yea! If you wanted to be a pervert, you should have chosen another woman!”
Dyon didn’t seem to hear the crowd. But, Madeleine had taken his words the same way because her breath was hurried, and her face was red. She was beginning to squirm in his lap.
‘Don’t get a boner, don’t get a boner, don’t get a boner.’ Although Dyon was thinking this, his heart ached thinking of the pain Madeleine was suffering through. She wouldn’t have reacted so violently if not for it being so close to the Winter Solstice.
With a flick of his finger, a fury and scaled puppy looking creature jumped out and licked the tears off of Madeleine’s face.
“This is Little Black. I found him while traveling. I’m not sure what species he is, but, I thought you’d like cute things so this is my second present.”
The crowd seemed to collectively sigh in relief. Of course, Dyon lied about Little Black’s origins. Although he didn’t care about danger to himself, he wasn’t willing to have that lead to trouble for Little Black.
“At least my Madeleine didn’t end up with a pervert,” said Jessica with a harrumph.
“He’s adorable,” said Madeleine with a giggle as she happily accepted Little Black into her arms, still leaning on Dyon’s chest as the sat in the sky, gentle snow still softly falling.
Little Black seemed to be trying to catch some on his tongue, which made Madeleine giggle more.
“She’s truly an angel.”
“Ai.”
“For my third present, I know you love music, so I have to give you the best.” A silver lyre appeared in Dyon’s hands.
“That’s…”
“A half step master level lyre!”
“Making a musical instrument of that high quality?! Where did this kid get that from!”
Even Madeleine was stunned. But, she didn’t refuse. She saw Dyon as her future husband. When would a wife ever say no to a present from her husband?
Madeleine smiled gently, kissing Dyon on the cheek.
“Hehe, if you kiss me like that now, who knows what you’ll do when you see my next presents.”
The crowd was in an uproar again.
“There’s no mistaking his words this time!”
“Definitely a pervert!”
“How could Madeleine love him?!”
Madeleine looked up at Dyon, blinking innocently, “There’s more?”
“Of course, you think I’d come back if I didn’t have the cure to your illness? What kind of man would I be then?”
Madeleine’s eyes widened, “R-really?”
She choked, tears falling.
Pillar Family elder Kami finally snapped, “DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK SUCH NONSENSE IN MY PRESENC –”
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Before elder Kami would even finish talking, ten magnificent arrays had appeared behind Dyon. They began to rotate fiercely before one majestic weapon after another was fired out. No one could see the weapons until they were already surrounding elder Kami, impaled into the ground.
Pillar family head Kami was shivering in panic. He hadn’t even seen what happened, but somehow ten spears made of fantastic golden energy and coated in crystals left massive holes in the ground around him. Had they shifted just the slightest bit, wouldn’t he be dead…? How was this possible?!
The crowd was silent.
“Speak out of turn again, and I won’t even give you a chance to defend yourself later. I’ll just directly kill you and your whole family,” Dyon said faintly.
The spears flickered out of existence as he turned back to Madeleine who was now staring up at him with a smile.
“What a genius, I can’t even tell how many wills he used in that attack. Did you see it Orbis?” A dark skinned man with long dreads spoke.
“Crystal will… the rarity of such an earth type will… my earth-bound sect needs a genius like him…”
Big sect Elder Kami gripped his fists. He knew if the other sect leaders decided this kid was a genius, it would be impossible for him to kill him. They would all want to recruit him to their sects in preparations for the World Tournament.
Who wouldn’t want him? This was the only reason he hadn’t attacked yet, as soon as he saw Dyon’s sword qi and movement technique, he could tell the other elders were moved.
“Do you trust me?” Dyon asked Madeleine.
With no hesitation, Madeleine nodded yes.
With a flick of his finger, a pill about three cm wide appeared.
“This pill will erase all of your cultivation,” With a flick of his hands, Dyon slowly brought it to Madeleine’s mouth.
She opened with no hesitation, not asking why her cultivation had to be erased or if she’d ever get it back.
But, her family wasn’t the same. They were all pale faced, wondering what would happen next.
After helping Madeleine dissolve the pill, Dyon pulled out another one.
‘That…’
“What grade pill is that!”
“It must be at least master level, maybe more!”
