Chapter 249: 033: High-level Wizard

Perhaps it was because of Avery?
Lynch felt that he wasnât so perverted to begin with; it was simply Averyâs indulgence. Regardless of what unreasonable demands he made, she was always willing to complyâŠ
By the time he came back to his senses, it was already the next morning. Lynch was still full of energy, but he had to consider the other partyâs endurance. After all, Avery wasnât part of the Refining Systemâat most, she had taken a few magic potions to enhance her physical qualities, but she wasnât much stronger than an ordinary person. After a night of relentless exertion, it was visibly apparent that her body had weakened, her breathing labored.
Once their desires were sated, it was time for an exchange of minds.
The two of them made breakfast together, sharing amusing anecdotes from their recent experiences.
âI only just realized how magnificent the ocean truly isâŠâ
Lynch chatted with her about his recent adventures. Of course, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to omit details about the magic energy alchemy research. After all, revealing those things wouldnât benefit either of them and might even pose risks.
âA Sea Clan funeral? Playing music for a two-headed octopus⊠Just listening to your description makes it sound fascinating. The underwater scenery must be incredibly beautiful, right? I really wish I had been there.â Avery said with envy.
Lynch picked her up and set her on the nearby dining table to free up space for cooking. Smiling, he replied, âThatâs easy. If you want to go, we can go anytime. The catfish monster left me a conch shellâcommunication is very convenient.â
âI do want toâŠâ Avery sounded tempted but quickly shook her head. âBut I better not.â
After a pause, she continued, âThereâs still a pile of matters to deal with within the family. Aside from the time I need for cultivation, most of my spare time has to be spent on these things. Iâm lucky enough to have carved out a free moment todayâthereâs just no time for it.â
If there was one thing about Avery that Lynch wasnât satisfied with, it would undoubtedly be her background.
Especially in recent years, it was visibly clear that she had become increasingly busy. Apart from her cultivation time, most of her hours were consumed by family affairs. Sometimes, they wouldnât even see each other for an entire year, which seriously disrupted their life together.
Lynch wasnât overly sensitive or dramatic, but there were times when he honestly felt that if Avery didnât have her current status, his life with her would undoubtedly flow more smoothly.
He advised her, âThereâs no need to handle everything personally. Just leave what can be delegated to others and let them do it. Believe me, the world wonât stop turning without youâitâs unnecessary to shoulder everything yourself.â
âIâm sorry,â Avery said apologetically.
She understood Lynchâs frustrated feelings about their prolonged separations. It was precisely for this reason that whenever they did meet, she did her best to cater to his every whim, turning herself into a plaything for him to cradle and toy with in bed.
Avery sighed softly. âIâd love to be a hands-off leader too, but now is not the time. Many things I have to personally oversee. Only by personally taking control can I truly seize power.â
After a pause, her tone turned impassioned. âSeizing power will allow me to rewrite the rules, and only then can I control our destiny!â
All of Averyâs efforts were ultimately for Lynchâfor the sake of twisting the rules so that she could marry him and become a true wife in name.
Lynch frowned. âThereâs really no need for all thisâŠâ
He meant it sincerely. Lynch genuinely felt their current situation was perfect. On the contrary, if they were to officially marry⊠Sure, this societyâs marital system granted abundant privileges, but it demanded proportional responsibilities in return.
As the heir to a large Wizard family, if Avery truly married him, he would inevitably be forced to act as the familyâs head.
At that point, every quibbling detail, every trivial annoyance would inevitably become a burden on his shoulders. His time for cultivation would be eaten away, and his freedom to sail the seas and explore distant lands would disappear. Fancy looking at the little stream in front of their house? That would probably be as good as itâd getâŠ
Overall, as irresponsible as it might sound, Lynch genuinely felt that their current arrangement without marriage was more comfortable and fulfilling.
Of course, Avery didnât share his perspective. After all, the resources she could command as part of the Tavendish family were immeasurable. Becoming her legal husband would grant him the rights to utilize those resourcesâa benefit that no Wizard could possibly ignore.
Lynchâs words were simply out of concern for her, not wanting her to overburden herself.
With this in mind, Avery felt suddenly reinvigorated, as if the fatigue that had weighed her down for days had evaporated in that moment.
She proclaimed with determination, âDonât worry, I can do it. I promise you!â
Lynch said no more. With words exchanged to this extent and such efforts already underway, he felt that expressing his true thoughts might come across as disrespectful to AveryâŠ
One step at a timeâthat was his approach. Whatâs meant to come, theyâd face when it came.
After that, their conversation shifted to matters of cultivation. Avery, not long ago, leveraged the effects of Su Ya Water to successfully advance to the Wizard rank, and sheâd begun her education in the Wizard levels.
As the chatting continued, the topic soon turned to meditation.
Avery asked, âBy the way, is your cultivation progressing smoothly? Why do I feel like the Deep Meditation Method I learned is somewhat different from the one I taught you?â
Having formally begun studying Deep Meditation, Avery astutely noticed that the Deep Meditation Method she had given Lynch seemed slightly different from what she was currently learning. But given her current limited understanding of Wizard-level knowledge, she couldnât pinpoint exactly where the discrepancies lay or what they meant.
Lynch shook his head casually and said, âItâs nothing. Deep Meditation Laws inherently differ. What you study and what I study should naturally be from different sources. My cultivation is going smoothlyâthereâs no issue.â
âIs that so?â
Hearing that from Lynch, Avery no longer harbored doubts. Smiling brightly, she said, âGood to hear your progress is steady. I had to pay a hefty price and beg the family for ages before I managed to get this Deep Meditation Rule. It wasnât easy!â
She puffed out her chest slightly with pride, exclaiming confidently, âThatâs why I keep telling you not to worry about the current rules. Look, Iâve already altered the Deep Meditation Rules, havenât I?â
âIf I can change the rules for Deep Meditation, I can absolutely change the rules for marriage!â she finished resolutely.
Listening to her words, Lynch found his earlier concerns starting to fade away.
He nodded and said, âAlright, I trust you.â
âŠ
Time returned to calm once more, and the days passed by in cultivation.
[Deep Meditation Proficiency +1]
Spring turned to autumn, and countless years flowed by in the blink of an eye, ushering them into another autumn.
It was still the same forest.
In the forest, the scenery was picturesque. The trees were draped in golden and fiery red hues, their leaves falling gently like raindrops, carpeting the forest paths with soft layers that crunched beneath every step. The sunlight peeked through the sparse branches, casting dappled shadows that infused the forest with a sense of warmth and mystery. In the distance, the mountain ridges blazed with autumn colors, vibrant and radiant, like an intricately painted masterpiece.
Fairies busied themselves darting between the trees, preparing for the cold winter. As their population flourished and grew, the Fairy society began to show signs of hierarchy.
Some of the older Fairies reclined lazily against tree trunks, basking in the sunlight and enjoying the splendor of the crimson leaves, reveling in peace and tranquility.
Meanwhile, others scurried around collecting nectar, resin, wild fruitsâeven wrestling with squirrels for nuts. When they failed to bring back sufficient food, they faced scolding and humiliation from higher-ranking Fairies, making their society a peculiar microcosm of absurdity.
In this autumn season, everything was directed toward preparing for the impending harsh winter. Meanwhile, Lynchâs strength, after years of hard work, finally transitioned from spiritual power liquefaction to solidification, marking his ascension to a higher tier.
The pinnacle tier of this landâthe apex of powerâ
