Ciel woke up from his sleep while Roxanne was in the shower.
He stared at the ceiling of the room with empty eyes.
His mind needed more time to work properly after getting drunk and making love last night.
When he finally remembered everything, he smiled slightly then raised his hand up to look at it.
‘Too bad, I only managed to reach Demigod Peak,’ he thought as he felt his power.
Indeed, the higher the cultivation, the harder it would be to improve.
Even an extremely powerful Demigod like Roxanne could not make him break through.
However, he didn’t feel sad or uncomfortable because for him it was enough.
In fact, the increase in his cultivation gave him a lot of increase in strength.
He was already so strong that he thought he could defeat his previous self with a single finger.
This made him wonder if he could compete with a weak God.
Only, he hadn’t discovered any new abilities from the Eyes of Heaven, something that made him frown.
‘Are there no new abilities already?’ He wondered again.
Although it was disappointing, he was still not uncomfortable.
He then sat up, took out a bottle of water and drank it without caring that he was still naked.
Right after he finished drinking, Roxanne’s bathroom door suddenly opened and the woman stepped out, complete with her armor.
Apparently she had directly put on her main outfit in that bathroom.
Unfortunately, her aura as a knight instantly disappeared when she saw Ciel’s figure sitting naked.
“Hurry up and get dressed,” she said in a loud voice before hurriedly exiting the room.
It was her room, but she knew that there was no way she would not relent.
Ciel laughed at her reaction.
Even so, he did as she asked.
He bathed and then dressed up, looking absolutely like a prince.
He then came out of the room in a very good mood, seeing Roxanne sitting on the sofa, staring at the window with a stiff expression.
She didn’t look at Ciel even though the latter approached her.
Ciel who ended up sitting in front of her had no other choice but to nudge her leg to get her to turn her gaze towards him.
“What?” she said.
“I know you’re a serious woman, but there’s no need to take this seriously,” Ciel replied. “Just enjoy it, and I’m sure you won’t need to study.”
“You!” Roxanne looked annoyed by Ciel’s words.
However, when Ciel took her hand, she only fell silent.
After that, she said, “I don’t want anyone to know about our relationship, especially Rin and Master!”
“Oh, our relationship? Does that mean you accept this relationship?” replied Ciel after hearing her words.
Instantly, Roxanne realized there was something wrong with her words, but it was impossible for her to swallow anymore.
And she had to admit that her mind accepted this relationship as implied in her words. 𝒩𝗈𝑽𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
She just didn’t want anyone to know because it could hurt her reputation as the Ice Knight.
She did not answer, only rolled her eyes.
Ciel finally stood up and went around the table to sit beside her again.
He immediately hugged her waist after he sat down and rested his head on her armor-covered shoulder.
From start to finish, she just stayed still, not trying to resist.
Ciel was fully convinced that she was comfortable, but was only embarrassed to respond soberly.
“Next time, we don’t need to get drunk first. That way, we can feel each other’s affection clearly,” Ciel told her.
This time, Roxanne’s cheeks became slightly red after she heard Ciel’s words.
Her mood was not chaotic, but she was actually attracted, something that was out of her control.
How could she not be attracted when all she remembered was pleasure and enjoyment.
She took a deep breath, then pushed Ciel’s hands away from her waist.
“We’ve arrived,” she said before standing up.
Ciel hadn’t looked out the window from the start, so he didn’t even know what the conditions outside were like.
Hearing Roxanne’s words, he quickly stood up, opening the window only to be surprised by the scene in front of him.
“Heaven?”
Instantly, he really thought that he was in Heaven.
He saw countless lands floating in the air, crisscrossing each other, and connected by various things, whether it was clouds or enormous trees.
Sometimes there were continents that dropped waterfalls onto the continent below so that the two continents were connected through the waterfalls.
Each continent is truly enormous, full of forests and mountains that exude boundless vitality.
Between the continents, Ciel sometimes saw amazing phenomena.
Sometimes a shadow of a roaring giant dragon appeared, then birds that seemed to be created from lightning, circled the continents.
When he looked more carefully, he found many small dots above each continent.
He then realized that they were flying arks traveling between the continents.
Although large, each continent was teeming with life.
They consisted of various races. Heaven Race was rare as they only consisted of a few people.
They ruled only because they were too powerful where five of them had become Supreme Gods.
“This is the center of the Heaven Realm, called the Strongest Region. The name is defensible because every continent here has at least one God.” Roxanne apparently explained about this place to Ciel, slightly surprising Ciel.
“The highest one, that’s where the Heaven Race lives, is called the Holy Continent,” Roxanne added.
Ciel indeed saw a continent at the highest place.
The continent was like the sky from below, so large that it seemed to cover the continents below.
It seemed to be completely open to the public as Ciel saw many arks flying towards the continent.
Roxanne’s plane also headed for the continent, moving in a leisurely manner.
Only, their arrival seemed to have been detected by the people above.
A group of people riding white horses suddenly descended from the continent.
Ciel observed them, discovering that they were led by Lydan, Yelina’s brother.
Ciel also saw Zaden and Derrick.
The former was a member of the Heaven Race who was the first to fight him while the latter was a genius from the Realm of Destruction who fought him after Zaden.
They all already looked more mature with the cultivation of Demigods.
Lydan and Derrick for example, had reached the Third Stage of Demigods.
Ciel showed a displeased expression when he saw them as he was sure they wanted to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Zaden who was beside Lydan raised his hand.
“Stop!” He shouted loudly, asking Roxanne’s airship to stop.
When Ciel thought that he would take care of them, Roxanne suddenly took a step out of the airship, showing a cold expression as if she was not happy with this interruption.
Her appearance instantly startled Lydan and the others including the people passing by.
She did not release her aura, but her presence made the air tremble.
The Heaven Realm might have many powerful gods, but it was still hard to find one that could give a terrifying sensation like Roxanne.
“Little boys, what are you doing here? Do you want to die?” she asked Lydan and the others, immediately displaying a domineering attitude.
She was indeed rather gentle to Ciel because the latter had a status where she had to be respectful.
However, to others, she was only slightly less than the Ice Goddess.
She was the type that did not like to be bothered and would hunt down anyone who dared to disturb her.
Even if Lydan and the others were members of the Heaven Race, she did not care at all.
She was ready for conflict even if the Gods of the Heaven Race were the ones she would face next.
As a disciple of the Ice Goddess, she needed to make sure that the Heaven Race showed deep respect to her and Ciel who came to represent the Ice Palace.
Lydan and the others were spontaneously intimidated as they heard Roxanne’s words.
They were used to being fearless due to their background of being the strongest, but Roxanne had indeed managed to shake their hearts directly.
Fortunately Lydan had quite a strong heart as the young master of the Heaven Race. He took a deep breath to calm himself before replying, “we are here as a challenge to the Ice Prince if he wishes to marry a member of our race. It is already a culture and custom.”
After saying that, he looked relieved, thinking that Roxanne should understand to respect other people’s culture.
Unfortunately, Roxanne suddenly shook her head.
“I’m afraid you all can’t stop one finger gesture from Ciel,” she replied.
She said that not just because she was defending Ciel, but indeed based on her observations.
In her opinion, Ciel was too strong as a Demigod, and she also knew that he had just broken through, something she wasn’t sure how he suddenly broke through.
The only thing she guessed was because of the artifact that used to belong to the Mountain King.
With his cultivation plus his combat power, Roxanne thought it was difficult for other Demigods to resist Ciel no matter how deep their cultivation foundations were.
