Chapter 1910 Little Woman
Chapter 1910 Little Woman
Some of Ryu\'s edge was suddenly taken off when he had this thought. He couldn\'t help but remember Hope and how she was still in a coma.
That was a woman who was more than likely carrying his child right now. Although part of her soul was snatched away, the others, and her body, were still very much alive. In fact, deep within her mind, there might even still be a strand of consciousness remaining.
Even if it was the Ryu of before, he would have cared for her. It wasn\'t just because she was carrying his seed, but because she had risked herself for the sake of saving him.
There were only a very few number of women who would be willing to do that for him, and all of them had the title of wife.
For this reason alone, Hope was worth his worry, his pain, his anguish.
There was a sigh that left Ryu\'s lips. He could already sense that this was partly because Wobbly Fairy was already attacking him with what seemed to be a Domain... but he also didn\'t care.
Maybe that was also part of the problem with being drunk. It was hard for your better logic to get the better of you.
Ryu had never been a drinker. The wine of Sacrum, or more accurately, the Shrine Plane, was too potent for him to partake in as a mortal. By the time he could cultivate and withstand stronger wine, he already had over a thousand years of lived experience and had simply never gotten into the habit. He didn\'t feel any sort of fascination with drinking and losing his mind in such vices at all. His mind was his sharpest weapon. Why would he make it foggy on purpose?
In the outside world, many seemed to already notice that there was a fog surrounding Ryu. The dense cloud of alcohol was practically visible to the eye.
Wobbly Fairy probably didn\'t even attack on purpose. Just the alcohol content of her breath alone was enough to form a Domain.
Usually, the little woman would be sitting on her own because although she was adorable, the number of people who could withstand the passive effects of her Dao were too few.
Ryu was already in such a bad state before. There was simply no way for him to withstand such a thing now.
Despite the fact they had just been angry with him, they couldn\'t help but sigh. None of them wanted to see Ryu lose like this, not after he had vented so much of their hatred and disgust for Silent Quibus.
However, what happened next astonished them.
Ryu sighed again and then shook his head. The weariness in his eyes vanished and for some reason... his gaze seemed to have become more focused.
He looked up at the little woman again and somehow felt a little better, almost as though acknowledging what he was feeling inside had made things casier on him.
Ryu couldn\'t help but chuckle on the inside. Alcohol makes you feel better? Which alcoholic said that?
This was obviously not the same sort of alcohol that a casual person might drink, and it wasn\'t even the kind that a cultivator would drink either. It seemed that after being filtered through Wobbly Fairy, it had become something entirely different.
He had already seen that her Dao Heart was surprisingly firm, and he realized now why that was... Well, no.
\'I still don\'t understand it fully. Is it the alcohol that gives her such a strong Dao Heart? Or is it because of her Dao Heart that she\'s capable of forming such strong wine?"
Ryu thought for a moment and wondered if he should try drinking. What sort of things would it open his mind to?
The Wine Dao was an expansive one. It was technically a branch of alchemy along with the Tea Dao. Both had their merits.
For once, Ryu wasn\'t very familiar with these disciplines. But if he thought about it, the Wind Dao and the Tea Dao were probably to Alchemy what Feng Shui was to Formation Mastery.
\'Maybe.\'
By the time Ryu regained complete clarity, Wobbly Fairy suddenly tumbled over and collapsed. The crowd outside was astonished and couldn\'t help but wonder if Ryu had suddenly killed her. But none of them had seen how he had done it. It was only Star River who seemed to understand a little about what she was seeing now.
Ryu\'s Dao Heart had actually overwhelmed Wobbly Fairy\'s.
\'Impossible...\' Star River was lost in a daze of her own.
The problem wasn\'t the fact. Ryu\'s Dao Heart was so strong, though that was shocking in itself. After all, Wobbly Fairy had the strongest Dao Heart by cultivation realm in their entire Sect, and that was saying something. By comparison, Ryu was two cultivation realms beneath her projection and still overwhelmed her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Still, what she truly found shocking was the fact that Ryu\'s Dao Heart seemed to be shrouded by something. He was carrying an extraordinary weight that was making the sharpness of his Dao Heart turn murky and unfocused.
Just now, the reason Wobbly Fairy collapsed was because a great deal of her Wine Dao had been sucked out just to polish Ryu\'s Dao Heart the smallest bit. And that had actually resulted in all her energy being stripped away.
She had lost to what was only a small sliver of Ryu\'s Dao Heart.
Star River\'s gaze couldn\'t help but turn to their little mascot, only to find her staring unblinkingly at Ryu\'s image in the skies. This was the first time Star River had ever seen the little woman focus so intently on anything.
Then, to her speechlessness, Wobbly Fairy collapsed and began to cutely snore.
