Chapter 509 What a romantic thing to do!
After William finished cooking, he ate his meal leisurely.
Poseidon and those high-ranking God-Kings like using mortals as pawns, right?
William thinks these God-Kings and Shapeshifters themselves make pretty good pawns.
Using ordinary people really isn't that interesting.
Through them, he might even find traces of Cosmic Entities.
As for the edge of the universe...
Take it slow, have fun first.
William's life is incredibly long, and without an end in sight, playing things one at a time, there's no room for regrets.
When it comes to meticulous planning, the first rule is not to rush.
Step by step, that's what makes it fun.
William thought it over and decided he could also use this situation to make Alice stronger.
Becoming stronger for ordinary people is undoubtedly a process, and Alice could definitely take advantage of this opportunity to grow stronger!
Hmm!
Then it's time to plan carefully.
At this moment, Alice was still in her room, enhancing her strength through meditation, completely unaware that William was scheming for her again.
Getting stronger is natural, but the process might be somewhat arduous.
After finishing a fish, William already had some ideas.
At this moment, several high-ranking God-Kings and the Grand Lords of the Shapeshifters all felt a sudden tightness in their hearts.
They had no idea what had happened, but living for so many years, their instincts were sharp.
Just at that moment, they had a bad premonition.
But this feeling was fleeting. With their status, it was not something they could discuss with those around them, but it made them more vigilant.
At their level, a premonition is definitely not something to be ignored.
After all, it's best to be cautious.
William washed the dishes, then checked on Alice in the bedroom. Her strength had improved remarkably.
With the aid of a divine aura bestowed by a Cosmic Entity, Alice truly absorbed some of William's essence. It's like she had all the cheat codes activated. In such a short period of time, she went from an ordinary person to a being comparable to a Mortal Deity.
But to William, this progress isn't anything noteworthy.
Is the power of a Mortal Deity strong?
Against even a slightly formidable deity, such power might lead to obliteration.
While Alice continued her meditative training, William found a few games to play until, ten days later, Alice finally opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. A flash of purple light darted through her eyes.
She had no idea how long she had been sitting there,probably a long time!
"Awake?" William looked deeply at Alice. Even with the aid of the divine aura, she hadn't fully absorbed the essence, only a tiny fraction of it.
So, hoping to improve her strength in this manner again would unlikely yield such benefits.
"How long have I been sitting here?" Alice, though she had lost track of time, thought to ask William.
It surely couldn't have been for decades.
The whole world could have changed in that time.
"A couple of weeks," William said. "Want to go out for a walk?"
Improving strength in such a dedicated manner wasn't something William had experienced,he'd just find somewhere to sleep when he was utterly bored.
With the rapid changes of this era, isolating oneself for decades for intensive training could mean coming back to a completely different world.
"Let's go, I'll take a shower first," Alice said, jumping out of bed, feeling energized.
"Sure, together then!" William nodded.
"No!" Alice blanched. Although she had spent so much time in meditation, the memories of what happened before still made her uneasy.
And she had experienced it,being in the water wasn't pleasant!
So, taking a bath together was off the table.
Even if they were to do something, it would be after taking a bath, whatever they wanted to do.
"Then you go shower first." William is not the type like Travis who relies on absorbing the vitality of the opposite sex to rejuvenate himself and enhance his strength. Doing such things also depends on his mood.
Seeing how Alice got scared when he made that comment, he naturally let it go.
His idea was the same as Alice's, waiting until after the shower to do anything was just the same.
And now, with no one else at home, even if they did something in the living room, balcony, or kitchen, it really wouldn't matter.
After her shower, Alice, like a startled little rabbit, rushed into the bedroom, quickly got dressed, then appeared in front of William, taking his arm and saying, "Let's go, where shall we stroll?"
William almost laughed out loud at her actions.
Was she guarding against him or what?
Why did it feel like his image had undergone some change in Alice's heart?
"Do you want a massage treatment?" William asked with a smirk.
It was Alice who had initially requested a massage treatment.
Now, why did she seem like a victim?
Alice blushed deeply at his words, "Your massage treatments aren't that effective, and you... who can withstand that?"
Compared to those who, despite being very small, insist on saying "I'm big, just bear with it" while doing it, William is clearly holding back his strength.
As a being with invincible power, some abilities are nearly unstoppable.
Even if Alice's strength was considered powerful among Soulmancers, how could she withstand William's relentless onslaught?
William didn't say much more and left the house with Alice.
"Let's move back to East 62nd Street tonight." William was no longer an employee of the 13th Bureau, and he didn't plan to continue studying at the Soulmancer Academy, so staying in the small villa seemed somewhat inappropriate.
"Okay!" Alice nodded. "Let's go back! But first, buy me a chair."
Even now, Alice was still fixated on the wingback chair in William's yard. She had been thinking about buying a wingback chair just like William's, to sit with him in the yard when there was nothing to do, reclining together.
Watching the stars and the moon together at night, drinking coffee, and enjoying life, what a romantic thing it is!
"I'll make it myself." William's woodworking skills are quite good. With such craftsmanship at his disposal, why buy one?
Alice and William made a trip back to her home, where Alice's father, Calvin Turner, had taken a pill provided by William. The previously graying hair at his temples had disappeared, and his wrinkles were notably reduced, making him look years younger.
At Calvin's age, improving his strength without some extraordinary fortune would be difficult to achieve. Relying on the pill given by William, living a few more decades was not a problem.
William also thought that, a hundred years later, Alice would face a life-and-death separation from Calvin.
But he did not plan to change any of that.
As a Soulmancer, one basically goes through these painful experiences.
Living a long life, these things must be faced, and perhaps they serve as a kind of training for the soul.
If Calvin knew of William's thoughts, he would surely be moved to tears of gratitude.
What more could one ask for in such a distinguished and supportive son-in-law!
