Chapter 280: Ruins

historical

The next day was Saturday morning. Not that the day of the week mattered, as with all the events that had happened, many didn't even know what day it was.

"I'll stay another two days before I go back to the tower," Luan, who was sitting around the living room table, said as he looked at Lenore, "Do you want to stay a few more days on earth, or do you want to go back with me?"

The moment Maira heard this, she wore a sad expression. She didn't want to be separated from the granddaughter she was recently able to meet. The same went for Catharina. She had talked a lot with Lenore as she soon realized that they both had a lot in common. It was fun to be with her, just as she felt like getting closer to Lenore.

Cristina didn't have a very strong reaction. It took her longer to get to like someone, but at least she saw Lenore on good terms. Despite her indifference, it wasn't uncomfortable to be around her.

"About that.." Lenore hesitated. She wanted to stay, but part of her wanted to go back, she felt on top of a bridge. After thinking, she asked, "Dad, how long do you intend to stay in the tower?"

Luan replied without thinking, "On average, one month. That's how long I estimate it will take to get enough supplements to go back and cultivate."

"One month is not long." Lenore gave a rare smile, despite being a small sliver, it was beautiful. "I will stay here. Next time I will go back. If it takes you longer, I can still go back alone."

Luan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but in part, he was happy. At least his daughter was showing an interest in his mother and sisters.

.

.

"You came back." Nora's seductive voice was heard.

Ingrid immediately frowned. She showed a bit of annoyance, but soon managed to hide it.

Luan looked at Nora, who was now wearing a somewhat revealing outfit, showing off much of her seductive body. Although she was actually very beautiful, it wasn't enough to make Luan fantasize about her. He just enjoyed her beautiful appearance for a few seconds, then became indifferent. "Lenore wanted to spend a few more days with my mother and sisters."

"Oh, well." Nora showed a charming smile. "It's good that she has been able to have a moment of peace, but if anyone dares to hurt her..."

Luan cut in before she could finish speaking, "Nothing's going to happen. She's the strongest living thing on earth right now."

"If you say..." Nora changed the subject. "Come on, I've discovered a ruin."

"... Okay." Luan nodded. It was common for Nora to act like this. Back in his previous life, whenever Nora found something good, he was the first to know. Apparently that hadn't changed.

Noticing Ingrid's strange look, Luan briefly explained what a ruin was in terms of the tower. "Unlike the ruins on earth, the ruins in the tower are precious, as they could be made from beings of the Sixth Order, or even from beings of the Seventh Order, which is kind of improbable, but not impossible."

"Have you found any of the Seventh Order before?" Ingrid was intrigued.

"Yes." It was Nora who spoke up in her seductive voice with a hint of pride, "Of our group, Luan was always the most amazing. The best things always happened around him, as well as finding a Glacial Emperor ruin."

"There is such a thing? But I learned that the Glacial Emperor-"

Nora interrupted, "Haha, is alive?" She scoffed, "Seriously, the one now is a fake Emperor. Although he is close to reaching the Seventh Order, he has been trapped in this realm for nearly a millennium."

"I already fought him." Luan looked at Ingrid. "It's not that he's strong, but he's very slippery..."

"Tsk, talking about him spoils my mood." Nora clicked her tongue in disgust.

As they talked, they had already left town. At Luan and Ingrid's feet, clouds formed. Nora created a pair of bat wings. Flying in, Nora led the way as she continued to explain about the ruin she had encountered.

"Although I don't think it's a ruin left by someone from the Seventh Order, it's definitely someone who's made it to the Sixth Order." Nora smiled at Luan.

.

.

It was a trip of almost 10 hours flying at a speed greater than Mach 2.

"I'm tired.. Let me stand on the cloud with you~" Nora made a tired expression, looking like a wife who had been harmed.

Luan didn't respond. He looked at Ingrid instead.

"All right," Ingrid sighed, "you can carry her too."

"Okay." Luan nodded and looked at Nora.

".." Nora was not at all happy with what she saw, but at least she got what she wanted, even though the process was different from what she imagined it would be. Or maybe, she already knew it was going to happen this way, but hoped not... It was hard to understand. She liked Luan for being like that, but right now, since she wasn't the target of his approval, it saddened her.

"Thanks." Nora was not polite, but she accepted. But before she could sit beside Luan, Ingrid intervened and took a seat beside her. Nora relented and sat down next to Ingrid. With a smug look, Ingrid smiled at Nora.

".." Nora took a deep breath. 'This brat is making me mad?!' At least she had managed to control herself and not do something that she would regret later.

Turning her attention back to Luan, Nora smiled, "Luan, congratulations on making it to the Fifth Order." She was sincere. "I hope that soon you reach the Sixth Order again, and then the nightmares of your enemies will return when they learn that the White Emperor is not dead."

"Mm." Luan showed a captivating look when he said, "Unlike before, my Cultivation base is better, even my technique... I feel that when I reach the Sixth Order, my power will be at least 2 times stronger than before."

"Hehee~" Nora giggled charmingly, "I can't wait for that."

Ingrid was speechless. She felt out of place. It was like a side conversation that didn't make any sense to her. Despite understanding some things, she couldn't find the right time to speak.

Nora, seeing this, smiled. She had done it on purpose. After all, she had known Luan for a long time, and she knew a lot about his past. Yes, Ingrid may have known a lot of things she didn't, but so too did Nora know things about Luan that Ingrid did not, and in that she had the upper hand, at least that's what she thought.

Luan looked at Ingrid. Taking her hand, he smiled, "Ingrid, look! Isn't it beautiful?"

Right below them, the entire plane was covered in ice, but amazingly enough, a sea of ??flowers was spread out on the ground, decorating the entire scene with flowers. It was a unique and beautiful sight at the same time.

"So beautiful," Ingrid muttered dreamily.

"Do you like it? I can make the Leviathan take a piece of this land if you want," Luan said kindly.

"Seriously? Would you really do that?" Ingrid's heart pounded. She felt as if she were riding a roller coaster of emotions. Wasn't it the same as him offering her all this? How could she not be happy about it?

Even Nora, who didn't care much about such things, looked at Ingrid with envy. She knew Luan had stopped talking about the past and had even found this place to please Ingrid. This made her upset.

"Of course." Luan kissed Ingrid's cheek. Soon he walked away and brought out Leviathan in sword form. But, soon the form of Leviathan changed. It became a gigantic piece of floating land through Luan's mental thoughts. He ordered it to then 'take this piece of land'.

While doing this, his Negative Qi was sucked away. It took a lot of Qi to achieve such a feat. At the moment, Leviathan was too weak to do this alone.

"Incredible! As expected, Luan is fantastic." Ingrid was amazed at what she saw.

In the air, particles of energy began to materialize as the scene below began to disappear and leave behind a crater a few kilometers wide. Soon, a part of the Leviathan started to grow. Little by little, the earth and flowers, even the animals that inhabited that part of the land, started to appear in the Leviathan.

Minutes passed. Though, for Ingrid, and even for Nora, it seemed to be just the second. For the two girls, what they experienced was too beautiful. Luan floating, and as a god, he started to make this all happen. It was so fantastic and beautiful at the same time.
