But, if Ulu told her husband what happened, Dyon would without a doubt die. Saint soul or not, Dyon wasnāt a match for those of the top ten. In many cases, they were more than a decade or even two older than him, and they had access to experience and power he didnāt. As much as Ulu wanted him dead, she couldnāt allow it, not yet.
Her husband was the power behind their kingdom and she was the brains. At least, thatās how it would be when they were powerful enough to inherit their thrones. Ulu couldnāt allow him to run wild just yet, even if it was for her. She also knew she couldnāt involve the higher elders of the Nix because they were dealing with something much more important⦠Something that had to do with why her husband had been late arriving to begin with.
What Ulu needed now was Dyon to herself. The problem was that with the Sapientia in the way, it was likely that there were now two parties who understood how important he was. This made things more difficult, but not impossible. It was simple really, all her husband had to do was fight and beat Dyon without having the impulse to kill him.
āItās nothing King,ā Ulu slid off her husbandās cock and bowed off to the edge of the best to place her head between his legs. āThereās just something weighing on my mind.ā
A large hand found its way to Uluās head, grasping a clump of hair firmly to control her movements.
āThereās nothing to worry about, Ulu. The mission went well. I and the few others had to go for experience, we didnāt even participate and were never in any real danger.ā Although Uluās husband, Zabia, said this to sooth his wife, he was a bit angered by it too. He didnāt like being treated like a child.
Ulu bobbed her head up, gasping for air before she slid her tongue down his shaft, āThatās not what I meant⦠I think Iāve found the demon sage. Unfortunately, others know of this too.ā
-.
āDemon sage? The pill, you mean? Our elders arenāt in a place to deviate their attention like this. Pulling in such an expert just isnāt possible right now.ā Zabia said after contemplating. One thing was clear, what they were doing was even more important than the prospect of having Dyon on their side.
āYouād be surprised to know that the demon sage is only eighteen years oldā¦ā Ulu said carefully.
āEighteen? How is that possible?ā
āHis soul strength should have just reached the saint stage. But, his energy cultivation is very far behind. Heās an otherworldly talent.ā
Zabia nodded, āI understand what you mean now. There arenāt any soul techniques available, even from our universe, that would be capable of allowing him to make full use of his strength⦠Let alone this universe.ā
Uluās delicate hands gently played with Zabiaās balls, making him lose his train of thought. āMeaning heās most likely comparable to a lower to mid essence gathering expert. Heās no match for you.ā
Grunting, Zabia took a deep breath, āSo, what do you want me to do?ā
āSimple. During the tournament. It has to be before the end so as to temper suspicions. Beat him. Then, when heās most susceptible, use one of your slave seals on him.ā
Zabia was surprised by this request.
As a talent of Planet Nix, he was of course afforded protection ā even more than Ulu. This was because despite being around twenty-eight years old, just like his wife, he was already prepared to step into the saint stage. In fact, the only reason he hadnāt was because of this tournament.
This seal wasnāt on the level of what Ulu had used on Ri. To compare the two would be like expecting a mortal to fight against a transcendent expert. Ulu simply couldnāt compare.
āEven though the world tournament follows a round robin style in the end, how can we guarantee that heāll make it that far? Even if he does, what if he resigns?ā Zabia wondered.
āDonāt forget, husband, heās cheated his way into the top 10. Meaning, Heās already earned a spot in the final stage of the tournament.
As for resigning, heās too arrogant to do such a thing. Just let him know that youāre my husband and that will be enough.ā Uluās delicate lips locked around Zabiaās thick tip, relishing in the viscous liquid that poured down her throat. āAt least I can still enjoy this.ā She thought in satisfaction. In fact, she even imagined a small throb in her loins at the thought of Dyon being beaten mercilessly into submission by her husband.

āMaster, lend me some dao stones.ā Madeleine had a bright smile on her face. She was all too excited to see Dyon, but first, she had to find out where he was. She couldnāt very well fly around aimlessly looking for him, that would be a bit too ridiculous even for her.
Esterās brows scrunched as though she was in deep though. It was clear that she was distracted by something and it was even more apparent by the fact she didnāt even respond to Madeleineās outrageous ask. Dao Stones werenāt something the Sapientia family had easy access to. In fact, if people knew Dyon had a ring filled with them, there would be a race to steal them from him.
Even Dyonās Queen Fairy pill had only sold for tens of dao stones and that was after an outrageous bidding war.
āMaster?ā Madeleine tapped on Esterās shoulder, trying to get her attention.
āAh, ah. Hmm?ā
Madeleine tilted her head in confusion. She had never seen her master to flustered or distracted. What was going on?
āDao stones. Do you have them?ā Madeleine asked again.
āDao stones?ā Ester looked at her disciple with some confusion. Madeleine had all of a sudden come back with a complete make-over and a striking lack of glasses. To other clans, this may have been negligible⦠But, there was a reason the Sapientia all had golden eyes and glasses. Their first-in-line genius suddenly breaking the mold was a bit odd.
āDonāt be ridiculous,ā Ester said, snapping out of it. āWho has dao stones just to hand out like this? Plus, youād only be asking to kill yourself if you tried using them.ā
Madeleine pouted. She couldnāt very well tell her master why she needed them, or else that would come with an even more resounding no. Dyon had said that he wouldnāt make her wait long to be with him, but Madeleine had forced herself to hold a semblance of realism. Could Dyon really be ready to take her away now?
Sighing, Madeleine walked off to her room. She regretted not having dao stones, but there was little she could do.
When she had been with Amethyst, the Violet Phoenix had interestingly gone out of its way to shatter her glasses but left her spatial rings and necklace alone. After Madeleine had finished absorbing the legacy, the gate had long since closed. So, she fell into a bit of despair. If she didnāt go home, it would have been months before the gate opened and she saw Dyon again.
But, Amethyst took pity on her and helped out. With the last bit of remaining soul she housed in this world, she used Madeleineās remaining dao stones to power a teleportation array out of the gate and onto Planet Naiad.
That said, that meant that now Madeleine was out of stones and could only wait through the coming weeks to see Dyon.
Reaching her room, Madeleine stepped into a space that she had called home for the better part of two years.
After slipping off her qipao and sliding into bed Madeleine rested her head to look out at the full moon through the large window.
āSee you soonā¦ā
