1621 I Miss You! (1)

In the cultivation room—

w.a.n.g Teng gradually opened his eyes. Flashes of gold and purple flickered in each of his eyes.

“The Golden Lightning Sword Domain has been fused successfully!”

A smile appeared on his face. He used less than half a day to complete his combined domain. Such efficiency could be considered acceptable in his books.

However, he wasn’t over. After some pondering, he summoned an extremely unique lightning bolt in his hand, which seemed like a living being scurrying in his palm.

Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning!

The young hero was planning to fuse it with his combined domain to increase its power substantially.

He then focused his gaze and the silver-white bolt in his hand darted out and instantly disappeared. It then turned into countless lightning arcs that were slowly integrated with the newly developed domain.

The process wasn’t that simple, as the tribulation lightning was a product of nature, and was inherently much more powerful than the ordinary kind.

Just like the difference between a n.o.ble and a commoner.

It wasn’t impossible for a n.o.ble to live a commoner’s life. However, it would be challenging. The other n.o.bles would naturally reject them.

The a.n.a.logy was extremely similar to the current situation!

He had already tamed the tribulation energy, it was still necessary to use a slow approach to integrate it into his domain.

Closing his eyes again and carefully sharpening his senses, he went about the task. He wasn’t in a hurry, nor was he impatient.

Slow and steady, time pa.s.sed…

The hero reopened his eyes when night came. The integration was finally completed.

The sword projections condensed by the new lightning domain were silver and white. They were emitting extremely frightening power.

Even though it was just a scaled-down version of his domain, the aura was quietly spread out; it was enough to terrify.

“The power has greatly increased after integrating the tribulation lightning.” The young hero nodded, feeling satisfied.

Having so many techniques at his disposal, the fusing and integrating was his fated path.

After that, he wanted to fuse his Lightning Tornado with other techniques. However, time was limited, so he had to put that on hold.

w.a.n.g Teng deactivated his domain and stood up to stretch his back.

Feeling a pinch of hunger, he got out of the cultivation room and ordered the maids to prepare dinner. Then, he went to take a shower.

Dinner was ready once he was done refres.h.i.+ng.

The young earl went to the dining room and sat down. All kinds of delicacies were laid out on the table: there was golden-coloured soup, meats and fish cooked in different styles, and seven different vegetable varieties grown on different planets. A rich congregation of aromas wafted from the table, complementing each other, increasing the guests’ appet.i.te.

A grandmaster Force chef was working in the manor, and he would usually prepare the dishes served.

Only w.a.n.g Teng was eating at the table. It was a lonely sight.

However, he was used to it. He allowed his stomach to roam free, having a good meal.

It had been a long time since he could take his time to relax and eat.

He was always cultivating or traveling somewhere; this would force him to settle for casual meals or skipping them altogether for a few days. After all, martial warriors could forgo eating during long periods of time.

Of course, the food he would cook for himself also counted as Force dishes, much better than what other warriors would have.

Right at that moment—Round Ball appeared on a chair next to the hero, just like a baby sitting there. It was interesting to look at.

The little helper looked at the feast on the table and remarked, “You really know how to enjoy yourself!”

“Humans must take good care of themselves.” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t even raise his head to reply. He then became curious. “Why did you come out?”

“Zhuang Weize is here to see you again. He’s just outside the manor,” Round Ball replied.

“What’s he doing here?” The hero was puzzled by the news.

“He’s probably here for his daughter’s sake.”

“Let him in.” He had an inkling about the visit’s purpose.

“Okay, I’ll let him know.” Round Ball nodded. It didn’t rush to leave; the little fellow was still looking at the hero eating.

Some time later, the governor and his daughter Zhuang Caixuan walked in, led by the maids.

Round Ball disappeared just then.

“Earl w.a.n.g!” Zhuang Weize greeted him respectfully.

“Have a seat!” The hero pointed to the seat next to him.

The governor waved a hand and said, “We’re fine standing.”

The young earl didn’t insist. He asked while eating, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m here to apologize for my daughter’s presumptuous actions.” Zhuang Weize bowed.

Surprised, the hero offered a casual reply, “There’s no need for that. I didn’t take it to heart.”

“So magnanimous of you. However, my daughter’s gaffe caused you some trouble. She must offer an apology,” said the governor, then sparing a glance at Zhuang Caixuan.

The young girl bit her lips and approached the hero. She offered a deep bow and said with a troubled look, “My overstepping has caused you trouble. I am truly sorry. Please punish me.”

w.a.n.g Teng was caught between laughter and tears. He then waved a hand, “All right, the matter ends here.”

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, not knowing if the overlord was being truthful. She could only look at her father for guidance.

Whenever powerful figures talked, sometimes they didn’t mean what they said. It was hard to tell. If he was indeed unhappy with her, she would be in real trouble; it might even affect her family.
