Book 9: Chapter 131: Ravings (3)
“Mother! You’re looking quite beautiful today.”
Dyon smiled brightly. He had taken to the habit of calling Kawa, Ri’s mother, mother as well. Since she insisted, he might as well.
Considering how strained his other parent in law relationships were, it was good to have at least one by his side.
Amphorae’s mother was dead and her father was practically his mortal enemy. Clara’s parents were dead largely because of him. Ri’s father had a strained relationship with Dyon because of various complex reasons. After all, how could a man who called himself King feel comfortable around the young man who saved his Kingdom after he was incompetent?
Finally, there was no need to mention Madeleine’s parents. Whether foster or biological, Dyon had had a falling out with all four of them. The former pair tried to kill him, while the latter pair was god knows where, disappearing after Dyon gave them a scolding.
In the end, only Kawa gave Dyon any real warmth.
After becoming a true Celestial Fox, Kawa had become quite the beauty. Though she was already beautiful before, it had been greatly enhanced.
Her blue hair and eyes had become a cascading, almost silvery white. Her body gave off far more vitality. And, more important, she could enter her human form once more.
With the speed of cultivation of celestial beasts, and the fact Kawa didn’t have to face any tribulations, she should have already reached the celestial realm. But, since she was practicing Dyon’s [Inner World: Sanctuary] technique to become one of his Demon General Vice Commanders, she was still currently in the meridian formation realm.
Luckily, because of Dyon’s Martial Saint Pill, and the fact she took his advice of training up her soul before activating this portion of the technique, it would only be another year at most before her cultivation unsealed.
There was another reason it would be so quick as well. Recently, Dyon had enlisted Luna’s help to give her a portion of his Mortal Clan’s talent!
Because her body cultivation and qi cultivation were now connected, Kawa could greatly speed up the breaking of the seals by training her body.
“Ah! If it isn’t my favorite son-in-law.” Kawa smiled deviously, she truly looked like a beautiful fox.
Currently, they stood in the Elvin Clans’ lands. This castle was lived in by Ri’s parents, and Ri herself would stay here whenever she had work to accomplish.
Dyon feigned hurt. “You have more than one son-in-law? This is devastating.”
Kawa walked to Dyon, pinching his ear. “If you keep neglecting my little girl like this, I really might have to get me another one.”
Dyon bowed solemnly. “Yes, mother. I promise!”
“Hmph.” Kawa nodded in satisfaction though Dyon was smiling bitterly inwardly.
When had he ever neglected Ri? More accurately, she had thrown herself into raising the Elvin Clans back up so he took a step back and played the role of supportive husband. In the end, didn’t he see her everyday?
Aiya, it really was too difficult when you cared about your parent-in-law’s opinion. Maybe he should estrange himself from Kawa too, he thought jokingly.
In reality, Kawa was just a bit frustrated by her own husband and was projecting their problems onto Ri and Dyon though they didn’t exist.
It was no wonder King Acacia, or rather, Patriarch Acacia, was feeling a bit inadequate. Actually, even that title was incorrect. He had handed his title off to his younger brother, so right now, Uncle Acacia was the current Patriarch of the Acacia Clan.
In the meantime, Dyon’s father-in-law had been training like a mad man. According to Ri, he had abolished his cultivation over 7 times already, searching for a new path for himself.
In the end, he abolished his cultivation for an 8th time and entered the Epistemic Tower, hoping to gain some insight through the True Empath trial. How could he rely on his own daughter and son-in-law to improve? He felt that it would be a blow to his manhood.
Obviously, in all this time, he had neglected his wife.
“Don’t worry mother, Edrym will find his path. Just give him some time.”
Kawa paused at these words before smiling lightly. She really was satisfied with this son-in-law of hers. Despite knowing she was being unfair, he didn’t complain and instead helped ease her mind.
“Mm. Come, Little Alex will be happy to see you.” Wrapping her arm around Dyon, she pulled him forward, chatting with him despite knowing that with his senses, Dyon already knew exactly where Ri was.
But, considering how lonely his mother-in-law had been, Dyon didn’t want to disappoint her, so he purposely walked slower, feeling a slight warmth as Kawa’s smile deepened.

Within the depths of the Epistemic Tower, a tall blue haired man stood in a black fog filled world. Though to the outside, there was nothing but himself, he still trembled and sweat profusely.
“No… I didn’t mean it.” He mumbled.
“I only wanted to save my wife! Wouldn’t you want to save yours too?!”
“I didn’t abandon my Kingdom! I didn’t abandon my daughter! I didn’t! I didn’t!”
The ravings of the blue haired man was heard by no one else but himself.
