Chapter 46: Calm down, calm down
After all, his wife was just too adorable.
If people knew her true personality, how could anyone not like her?
Right now, he was really eager to get back to Sky Sanctuary.
After all, their second date was waiting for him.
Seeing Emily tidy up her disheveled clothes, her cheeks still flushed but mostly back to normal, Timothy took his leave, saying, "I need to head back to Sky Sanctuary now. Emily, be careful on your way and don't fall into any traps again."
"Are you leaving so soon?" Emily, who had been quite cold to Timothy, now looked at him with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
"Yeah." Timothy nodded, surprised at how much her attitude had changed.
She had been so distant before, and now she seemed a bit reluctant to let him go.
After walking a good distance, Timothy turned around and waved at Emily one last time.
Then he didn't look back and just kept going.
"System, exchange for a flying spell."
The spell for wind-riding wasn't rare,it only cost 1 skill point in the system store.
[Ding, the system is now 4 skill points in debt on PayPal Credit. Confirm purchase?]
"Buy it." Timothy wasn't worried about adding more debt and confirmed the purchase.
He easily mastered the art of wind-riding.
Suddenly, Timothy felt a connection with the air currents and breezes around him, able to merge his thoughts into them more smoothly.
Slowly manipulating the air currents, Timothy gradually floated into the air.
Soon, the mountains and rivers below him started to look smaller and smaller.
Flying over human towns, the people and buildings below looked as tiny as ants.
A gentle breeze brushed past, bringing a cool sensation that was incredibly refreshing.
Perhaps, this was one of the greatest pleasures of being a cultivator.
Timothy felt extremely comfortable.
On his way back to Sky Sanctuary, he happened to pass over the Doomed Soul Sect.
But as he approached the mountains near the Doomed Soul Sect, Timothy noticed that the area was covered with dark clouds.
Especially around the Doomed Soul Sect, there was a palpable sense of murderous intent!
"What on earth happened? Weren't they always well-hidden before I left?" Timothy frowned slightly.
…
"Calm down, calm down, men are just obstacles on the path of cultivation, you can't trust them easily." In the woods, Emily tried her best to calm her chaotic heart.
But this time, she found she couldn't settle down no matter what.
She had never really understood Timothy.
This man had defeated strong competitors at the Phoenix Kingdom arena and had even crossed realms to kill the likes of Umbral Tyrant, bringing about the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation.
Along the way, she realized she understood Timothy even less.
She had thought Timothy was indifferent to women, especially to her.
But now, what had happened proved all her thoughts wrong.
"Could it be that I am also special to him?" Emily's heart raced uncontrollably, her mind filled with wild thoughts she couldn't suppress.
She knew very well that if this continued, she might completely fall for him.
Emily quickly tried to find the book "Uselessness of Spiritual Partners," but realized it was no longer with her.
There was only one way to save herself!
Goddess Sylvia!
If she could just tell Goddess Sylvia everything on her mind, with the goddess's vast powers, she would surely think of a solution easily.
Driven by urgency, Emily suppressed the turmoil in her mind, turned around, and sped towards Sky Sanctuary.
All along the way, Emily was plagued by strange, uncontrollable thoughts.
Passing by a familiar sect, she hurried up the mountain, planning to borrow a Pegasus.
Hearing that it was Princess Emily herself, Oscar, who had once held an important position in the Phoenix Kingdom and now served as an elder in the sect, immediately came out to greet her.
"Princess, you need the Pegasus for...?"
In Oscar's memory, the princess had always been proud and aloof since childhood, rarely interacting with others.
She was also resolute and determined, never showing too much panic no matter the situation.
But now, Emily's cheeks were flushed like the evening sky, and she couldn't hide a hint of urgency, which clearly startled Oscar.
Emily responded coolly, "I need to go to Sky Sanctuary, to see Goddess Sylvia."
"Goddess Sylvia..." Oscar then remembered that Emily had looked up to Goddess Sylvia as a lifelong goal since she was a child.
Oscar still asked, "Does the princess need me to escort her?"
"No need."
"Then please take care, princess, and be very careful."
Oscar didn't dare say more and quickly led the Pegasus over.
He believed that with Goddess Sylvia's power, she could easily help the princess resolve her inner turmoil.
The Pegasus, whose speed could rival that of a common cultivator flying on the wind, got Emily to Sky Sanctuary in just half a day.
Facing the High Priest at the gate, she said, "My name is Emily, the Third Princess of Phoenix Kingdom. I have worshipped Goddess Sylvia since childhood and aimed to emulate her. But today, my inner demons have erupted, and I can no longer control them. I earnestly request to meet Goddess Sylvia, hoping she can resolve my turmoil."
Normally, even people of high status and cultivation rarely had the privilege to meet Goddess Sylvia.
But the sincerity and reverence in Emily's expression moved the High Priest.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed deeply, "Alright, I will report this to Goddess Sylvia. However, I can't guarantee that she will agree to see you."
"Thank you," Emily bowed deeply.
"By the way," the High Priest suddenly asked, "what exactly is the nature of the inner demon you wish to consult the goddess about?"
"Love."
"Uh?" The High Priest blinked.
Emily pursed her lips, finding it even harder to speak, "What I want to consult the goddess about concerns matters of love."
"Cough, cough, I see. Well, you shouldn't worry too much, after all, love is a natural emotion for everyone. Just wait here for a moment, I'll go report to the Supreme Goddess." The High Priest coughed twice and quickly turned to enter Sky Sanctuary.
Though he said this, he didn't quite believe it in his heart.
After all, Goddess Sylvia had written "Uselessness of Spiritual Partners" hundreds of years ago,she surely wouldn't be interested in matters of love.
