"Unfortunately, since they're high-grade Divine Physiques, if her cultivation doesn't at least approach the Divine Rank, unless she obtains outlandish opportunities, reaching the Mastered Stage is a pipe dream."
The system's words drummed within Konrad's head, forcing him to realize he'd still underestimated this new target of his. Even if it merely remained at the Awakened Stage, a high-grade Divine Physique was a terrifying concept. Across the Ancient Crystal World, who could boast such a physique.
And she even had two? Was there still any justice left in the world?
"However, battle power is one thing. Speed is another. This still doesn't explain why her cultivation speed was so fast. Unless she gained some opportunity in the Transcendent Rank…"
Konrad set those thoughts aside and returned to his dwelling. Since he now remained under Yvonne's watchful gaze, it was best to avoid vanis.h.i.+ng into the s.p.a.ce mansion for the time being. He pulled out the box he'd been entrusted with by Hubert, scrutinizing it to find anything peculiar.
However, he couldn't. As for what it contained, that was something he couldn't pry on, less he ruined their established relations.h.i.+p.
"Next time, I will find an opportunity to give it to her."
However, little did Konrad know that the "next time" wouldn't come anytime soon. For the following four days, Yvonne no longer paid him any attention, letting him handle his daily tasks without b.u.t.ting in.
At first, he believed she was still observing him from the shadows and deciding what to do with him. But as his first week within her palace ended, he began doubting the thought.
Naturally, he also didn't have an opportunity to present the box.
Konrad believed that box was the first step in gaining Yvonne's trust. However, now that she didn't seem intent on seeing him again, he could only request an audience.
That night, the soothing sound of musical instruments spread from outdoor, reaching Konrad's ears. Annoyed by the monotony of his days and attracted by the melody, he stepped out, heading toward its origin.
Unbeknown to him, he reached the central courtyard, and there he witnessed a sight that stole his breath.
Yvonne danced under the moonlight while her attendants formed a large circle around her and played various stringed instruments.
Nimble, powerful, and full of s.e.x appeal, her dance compelled the eyes and gripped the soul.
If Else was the most beautiful, Verena the most elegant, then Yvonne was without a shred of doubt, the most sensual. Her entire body brimmed with suffocating s.e.x appeal that would bring most men to their knees were it not for that killing intent and overbearingness surrounding her.
For some reason, in Konrad's eyes, the combination only made her look more alluring.
And as she danced under the crescent moon's watchful gaze, Konrad felt that disturbing such marvel would be a sinful deed. Therefore, he silently observed from afar, then returned to his dwellings.
Unbeknown to him, his every steps and deed were registered by her.
