Novel Full Chapter 642 Celestial Maiden Physique
After leaving the Temple of the Rowan Tribe, Lux went to the Tribal Chief’s Main Residence to find Cai’s Grandpa, Maximilian.
“Rose was right. You have indeed reached the limit of the Initiate Rank,” Maximilian said as he eyed the Half-Elf in front of him. “Did you already pick a Trial for your Ranker Advancement?
“Yes, Your Excellency,” Lux replied.
Maximilian nodded. “Good. Now, let’s talk about business.”
The Saint of the Rowan Tribe waved his hand, and enclosed his room with a barrier that prevented anyone from eavesdropping, or scrying in on their conversation. What he was about to tell Lux was important, so he didn’t want to risk anyone hearing it, even by chance.
“First off, let’s talk about the Domain of the Fallen,” Maximilian stated. “According to my sources, the one who will be leading the representatives of the Vahan Empire and the Skystead Alliance is none other than the Emperor Andreas’ Second Son, Prince Cyrus Cy Vahan. He is well known for his aggressive behavior, so he might come to you and look for trouble.”
Maximilian smirked at the Half-Elf who seemed uninterested in the information about the Prince of the Vahan Empire.
“Don’t worry, if he does something to you, feel free to fight back.” Maximilian gave Lux his assurance that he would back him up if the need arose. “We can’t have our people bullied by those pricks.”
The Half-Elf was surprised at first before a devilish grin appeared on his face. Since Maximilian assured him that it was fine to fight back against the Second Prince of the Vahan Empire, he would definitely do so if the bastard tried to pick a fight with him.
Maximilian chuckled after seeing Lux’s expression. It was the face of someone ready to make trouble, and he found it quite amusing.
“Okay. Now that we have settled that issue, we will talk about the main topic of why I want to have a serious discussion with you,” Maximilian’s expression turned serious, which made the Half-Elf pay more attention to what he was going to say.
“My two granddaughters were born with unique abilities,” Maximilian stated. “Rose has the power of Precognition, which allows her to see glimpses of the future. She has no control over it, but whenever it happens, the things she sees come to pass most of the time.
“There are also no timelines for it. For example, if she sees a vision of the future, she doesn’t know when it will happen. It can happen a few minutes later, a day later, a week, a year, or a decade.”
Maximilian paused for a while in order to give Lux some time to digest what he had just said.
“What did she see?” Lux asked.
For him, this was the most important question. Since Maximilian was telling him this, it meant that he may have also appeared in Rose’s vision.
“A beautiful lady with horns, batlike wings, and purple eyes,” Maximilian replied. “In her vision, she saw you and Cai unconscious beside that beautiful lady’s feet. Rose’s vision ended when the lady glanced in her direction and laughed. However, just before her vision was covered with darkness, he heard the lady say a few words to her and that was… Celestial Maiden Physique.”
Lux subtly summoned his Soul Book, which was invisible to everyone else except those he had given permission to see.
He then searched for the Legacy of the Celestial Maiden and the information appeared on the pages of his Soul Book.
—————
< Celestial Maiden Physique >
– This Unique Body Constitution allows its owner to absorb the powers of the stars, and allow their Rank to increase by leaps and bounds.
The scary part about this ability is that it can also absorb the strength of others, through physical contact like kissing and making love. If their partners are weaker than them, their Ranks will regress, and their strength would be stolen from them forever.
– However, if the one being kissed or having physical union with the owner of this body constitution is stronger than the owner, they would be able to absorb the power of the owner of the Celestial Maiden Physique, making themselves stronger in the process.
The only Silver Lining is that the owner of the Physique would be able to regain her former strength once more if she bathed in starlight for a period of time.
– It is said that those who were lucky enough to find someone with the Celestial Maiden Physique will be able to reach the Rank of a Saint in just a span of a few years.

Lux suddenly realized something and it made him look at Maximilian with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
“Don’t tell me…”
“Yes. Cai has the Celestial Maiden Physique. Do you know what kind of Physique it is?”
Lux nodded. Since he was already aware of what kind of special body constitution Cai had, there was no need to play dumb about it.
“Since you are already aware, this will make things easier,” Maximilian stated. “According to Rose, that beautiful lady seemed to be keen on using Cai as a means to make herself stronger. Of course, she wasn’t certain about this part because this was just her assumption. However, she could tell that the lady in her vision was quite powerful.
“Based on the descriptions she gave me, I can only say that the one in her vision is a Succubus. No matter what happens, we can’t allow Cai to fall into her hands.”
Lux pondered for a bit before asking the question that appeared inside his head.
“Wouldn’t it be safer if you keep Cai beside you all the time?” Lux asked. “If you do this then that Succubus wouldn’t dare to come close.”
Maximilian shook his head. “Like I told you. Even if I keep Cai by my side all the time, the vision that Rose saw will come to pass. Things may happen that would force me to leave her side, resulting in the vision that she saw.
“I don’t know why you were there as well, but since you were in Rose’s vision, it gave us some kind of assurance that Cai wouldn’t be facing that dangerous situation all alone. For better or for worse, you being there gives us plenty of options for how to deal with that future scene.”
Maximilian’s reminder made Lux realize that he was also in danger. He had completely forgotten about it because in some way, he was worried about Cai’s well being due to having a physique that was similar to a double-edged sword.
“When I first discovered that Cai had that special physique, I sealed it right away,” Maximilian explained. “Perhaps, she instinctively felt that she was a bit special since she was young, so she decided to always stay in her Boar Form as a means to protect her secret, and prevent anyone from finding out about her secret.”
A moment of silence descended inside Maximilian’s room as he finished explaining Cai’s body constitution.
“Is this why the Rowan Tribe is going to migrate near Barbatos Academy?” Lux asked after understanding how serious the situation was.
In fact, he thought that this was a good move by Maximilian.
With two saints being in close proximity with each other, it would allow them to react to certain situations at a moment’s notice.
“Yes, and No,” Maximilian replied. “After having a serious talk with your stepfather and Iris, the three of us came to a decision. Lux, would you consider making Cai your Fiance?”
