’Should I tell him?’ Aleriana, while pointing towards the theories which she, from her experience and cultivation until now and the teachings of her mother, had understood, felt as though she wanted to tell her husband that he had the most useless physique, bloodline, and body one could ever possess.
Much worse than a mortal.
But feeling how he seemed interested in hearing her explanation, she kept informing him, while thinking how if he were to start cultivating, then she would have to spend most of her fortune to purchase so many medical herbs to at least bring his body to a mediocre level.
Even though her physique could, to some extent, boost his overall strength, it was too minimal in comparison to the standard of this world, and there was a limit to how many strength points even her body could help him reach before her influence also reached saturation.
’I would have to spend more than half of my savings.’ Just a mere realization of her husband’s curiosity made her calculate the amount of fortune she would have to invest in purchasing all the things needed to boost his overall strength to at least a mediocre level, which was lower than that.
While telling him, she was calculating the exact amount, time, and hard work she would need to put in and spend time on him, which naturally occupied most of her time.
To some extent, she knew it was the same as halting her growth, yet she didn’t seem to dislike it.
At the very least, he showed his interest in learning about cultivation.
That was more than reassuring for her.
’!?’
’Huh?’ There was a sudden dizziness, causing her feet to stumble as she supported herself.
It was momentary, but enough to make her sapphire pupils dilate, contracting as she looked around towards the internal energy, which was naturally filling the atmosphere.
It was mostly visible to cultivators above the third layer. She found a sudden spark and an increase in density that intensified within a few milliseconds.
Yet it was not long before she realized that the reason for such phenomena occurring around her was something born within her or due to the resonance created by her own body.
"Relax, I just helped you a bit," Kyle said, noticing how Aleriana seemed to stumble.
He held her hand for support as he noticed her looking around in a way that suggested she was clearly taken aback, not understanding the phenomena or believing what was happening around her.
He said as her eyes settled on him before the exhale of her breath revealed a blue light.
Her other hand lifted and was placed on her abdomen, realizing the density of internal energy around her had been increased because the Qi within her dantian had just become twice, no, thrice the layer it already had.
"What? How?" Her eyes clearly showed shock as she looked towards him, blinking, as it was too much for her to understand. She could feel the amount of energy in her dantian from her years of cultivation, which could easily allow her to reach the seventh layer, was rapidly drying out and stimulating outside internal energy.
"It’s nothing to surprise, wife. I just increased your overall cultivation years, that’s it," Kyle informed, finding the surprise on her face amusing.
It appeared for the first time that her brain was clearly not processing what was happening to her, something he was personally interested to see more of—the surprised look on her face made him smile, but then he saw her suddenly clenching her jaws as if a realization was dawning on her.
"Go outside now!" she yelled, causing Kyle to tilt his head as he did not understand what exactly she meant, confused as he was about to inquire why she was telling him to leave.
But for Aleriana, she could see the density of internal energy increasing to enormous levels within the room.
"Wi—wife—Kugh?!!—wait," Kyle said, not understanding it. He was seeing everything normally, except for the blue light glowing around her until she stretched her hand, yanking his hand away before gripping it.
And that was the moment when he met with a metal-like grip on his wrist, which led to a swing.
His whole body, like a ragdoll, swung around by the twist Aleriana did.
’!?!’
"Waah—st-stop!" Kyle’s mind went blank as he found himself being twisted around and directly thrown towards the stone door, which was already open.
His eyes reflected, for the last time, the image of Aleriana, who had just thrown him out of the room while he was trying to understand why she wasn’t deeply in love with him.
Or did this system lie, given that his dear wife had just thrown him, along with the book in his hand, directly outside the room like some sack of rice?
No, it was more like kicking a stinky pig away in the most brutal way.
THUD
Scrchhh
"Urghh!" Kyle’s body hit the ground within the training area, sliding, rolling, and directly moving a few meters before halting as he fell in deep shock, his mind still processing while his body was assaulted with physical pain as it felt as though he had just broken his hand, which naturally was not the case as he slowly stood, supporting his back like an old man.
"Ow! Darling, I am your husband!" He looked towards the isolation room where at the door stood Aleriana, her hand gripping the stone door as she slammed it in his face.
Bam!
’.....’
’Did I just get treated like an Asian husband?’
Kyle thought, looking toward the scene he often saw in movies where husbands, after getting drunk or offending their wives, were thrown out of their homes while doors were shut in their faces, spending the night on the footpath or roads.
He seemed to experience this firsthand, standing there while looking blankly at the now-closed door.
:: You deserve it, idiot. ::
’Now, where are you going?’ Kyle stood there while holding his back in pain, rubbing his head.
He looked towards the small figure resembling a fairy flying directly into the isolation room, from where he was thrown out by his own wife, still hardly believing what just happened with him.
Now, he was more confused, seeing the one who should have been telling him something about the nature of women regarding why he had been treated like this also entering.
[ Maybe it’s a girl’s problem, Host; we males can’t understand. ]
’...Idiot, aren’t you a machine?’ Hearing the last individual from whom he wanted to get some piece of advice speak up, Kyle felt his mouth twitch, stumbling as he moved towards the training platform.
Given the radius of his domain had already increased to 13m, he was nearly just within the radius of 7m from the training room.
He took a seat, rubbing his back before looking towards the book lying on the floor.
Lifting it, he sighed and opened the book, thinking that he would just ask Aleriana directly once she came out of the room. Until then, he opened the door and started to read the book.

"Urgh! Too much of it got wasted!" Aleriana clenched her jaws while seated in the lotus position, feeling how too much of the Qi, around half a year, was wasted in just a short duration of time due to not stabilizing it in her body as she wasn’t prepared.
With her eyes shut, she focused on first making the unknown arrival of the Qi start to get stabilized within her while only one thought resonated through her mind.
’How did you do this, husband?’
