Chapter 1865 10
Her skin was healthy beyond compare. Elastic, smooth, glossy… reclining in the tub like she was, with soapy bubbles running down her body and a glistening light reflecting across her contours, it felt like one was watching a goddess in the flesh.
The soap was too thick to see anything extremely enticing, but the deep crevice of her chest and the way her long legs would extend out from the water from time to time was enough to make any man feel as though their heart was beating at a thousand miles a minute.
Almost the moment Ryu saw this scene, though, he felt a sharp aura flourish. The beauty looked up, and her crimson eyes seemed to pierce through the veil.
She didn\'t make any sudden movements, keeping her body beneath the soapy currents as though afraid that whoever was peeping on her would see something that they shouldn\'t.
However, when she felt the familiar presence on the other end, she felt both speechless and amused.
This man\'s timing… wasn\'t it a little too good?
"Have you enjoyed yourself enough?" she said lightly.
Ryu was still in a bit of a daze, but he shook his head vigorously. He didn\'t even know if Ailsa could see him right now, but he wasn\'t exactly thinking with the head above his shoulders.
Ryu couldn\'t remember ever being put into such a daze by a woman before. But he had to admit that the charm of a Dao God was simply beyond his imagination.
It didn\'t even feel like Ailsa was a living being anymore, and even describing her as a deity felt like it didn\'t quite do it justice.
It was like, just while existing, the world thrummed with music for her, nature sang, and the stars shone down.
Ryu almost wished that he could step across the void and appear before her right this moment. But he knew that that was impossible…
He lacked in both the strength and the circumstance. The former was self-explanatory, and as for the latter… well, even if he could step across the void to appear before her, he knew that he probably shouldn\'t.
Just now, on a whim, he realized that his [Third Perspective] was just like the other abilities of his eyes, and he shouldn\'t treat it any differently despite the fact it seemed to be a basic ability.
All the other abilities of his eyes relied on playing with Fate and Karma, so why would [Third Perspective] be any different?
He realized after having this thought that the reason he could always see through everything with [Third Perspective] was because the things near him were infected by his Karma. As such, even if they wanted to hide, it was impossible for them to do so.
Ryu had never been targeted by an assassin before, but he assumed that if he ever was… they would have a truly bad time.
Not only would he likely be aware that someone was trying to kill him long before they even entered range of being capable of doing so, but even if by some miracle they had the speed that didn\'t allow him to react in time to prepare in advance, they would be screwed over in their approach without a doubt.
This also made Ryu realize another path to increasing his combat effectiveness to another level.
At that moment, Ailsa shook her head and sighed. The gap between herself and Ryu right now was truly large. It didn\'t even seem like he dared to ogle her any longer. What would happen when he snapped out of his daze?
Ryu blinked, and his gaze seemed to peer through the void.
"I see that you\'ve been away from me for so long that you\'ve gotten a bit disobedient." Ryu\'s lip curled in a playful smile.
It seemed that his wife had misunderstood him.
Ailsa raised an eyebrow, but she didn\'t reply. She relaxed, leaning back into her tub and seemingly having no intention of giving Ryu more of a show than he had already received. It seemed as though she was waiting for him to justify himself.
Ryu actually found it quite amusing. This situation… didn\'t it seem to be the reverse of the time they first met?
Well, not quite. He could remember being far crueler than Ailsa was being now. He couldn\'t even in good conscience say that she was being cruel at all. This was just her temperament.
She had spent trillions of years alone, she had grown a long way without a husband.
The emotions she showed when Ryu first appeared before her thanks to his master were the result of years of build up, but after getting them out, those same emotions wouldn\'t be likely to appear again. After all, after experiencing so much life, her perspective on things was vastly different than it had once been.
If Ryu took a step back and thought about what he would be like if he had already experienced trillions of years… he felt that it actually wouldn\'t be too different.
After just a thousand years, he had grown so stubborn that it had taken nearly dying and facing the own nihilism of his life to become a different person.
Who knew what kind of shenanigans it would take to change him had he had so long to become hard-headed.
Watching Ryu just stand there and smile like that, Ailsa felt a bit taken aback. The Ryu she knew would already be enraged, he would probably even directly divorce her.
Wait… that wasn\'t true at all. Ryu always had a short rope for those he didn\'t care about, but when it came to his wives, he allowed them to be as willful as they pleased…
Why had she thought that that would be his reaction?
Just as she was lost in her own introspection, Ryu suddenly spoke.
"It seems that you look down on me. 10 years? For this little Beast Domain?"
Ryu\'s presence vanished from Ailsa\'s region, the only thing that could be seen was an indifferent smile and the last echo of a few words.
"10 days is enough."
