“So my luck is not arranged by anyone,” Ciel said, feeling calmer because so far he could not deny that he was very dependent on his luck. Without it, he was nothing.
“Everyone always has luck,” the woman replied. “It’s just that we don’t know what kind of luck we’ll get. And actually, only one luck you get, the rest is something you create yourself by relying on your first luck.”
“I see!”
“By the way, your cultivation hasn’t reached the Peak of the Second Stage yet, if you want to improve your cultivation with that treasure, you need the help of one virgin Supreme God. I happen to have a disciple who agrees to be your wife.”
“What?” Ciel was stunned at the woman’s words.
First he had a wife arranged for him, but what astonished him was how casually the woman talked about cultivation being done in such a special way.
Of course, she knew that he had always relied on that method, and he didn’t seem to mind, looking at it casually.
“Who is that woman?” asked Ciel.
He wondered if that Supreme God was from the Seven Realms or from the Ancient Night Race.
And whether she was a famous figure or a hidden figure so that even her name was unknown.
“Her name is Synthia, she from the Seven Realms, you should have heard of her,” replied the woman, the Ancient Night King.
“Synthia?” Ciel was confused after hearing the answer. He didn’t think he had ever heard of that woman even though he now knew many figures in the Seven Realms.
“She’s your wife’s aunt, known as the Goddess of Heaven,” the Ancient Night King replied.
The Goddess of Heaven was the title of the daughter of the Heaven Ancestor who was also the younger sister of the Heaven King.
Before Yelina was born, she was the most beautiful in the Heaven Realm, a Goddess who was respected and admired by everyone. She was only rarely in the Heaven Realm, and most of the time, her whereabouts were completely unknown.
How did that woman suddenly become his wife?
Despite knowing that it was something arranged by the Ancient Night King, his own mother, Ciel still felt astonished.
He was even more astonished that the woman agreed.
Keep in mind that she was on the same level as the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen. Even her background was more noble than theirs.
“Why did she become your disciple?” asked Ciel to the Ancient Night King.
“It’s something she wanted herself. She asked me to accept her as my disciple when she happened to meet me. Her talent is extraordinary, I certainly didn’t refuse her, especially since she’s from the Heaven Race,” the Ancient Night King replied.
“But why is she willing to become my wife?” This was what surprised Ciel the most.
He was also uncomfortable if it turned out that she had only accepted him because of hid mother but then refused to sleep with him.
“At first I asked her if she was interested in a romantic life like marriage, she said she might be interested if fate connected her with a man. After that, I asked her how about marrying my son. She thought for a few days after I asked, but yeah, she finally replied that she agreed.” The Ancient Night King explained.
Ciel rolled his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“However, I must admit that among the best women in the Seven Realms without including Yelina, the Ice Goddess is ranked number one, you should keep that woman, Ciel.”
“Why is the Ice Goddess the best?” The Ancient Night King’s judgment surprised Ciel a little although so far he did feel that the Ice Goddess was the hardest to touch.
He could not compare her to the Goddess of Heaven as he had never seen the latter either.
“Her talent isn’t the highest, but she has the greatest determination and courage. Perhaps she can actually succeed in becoming a True God later,” the Ancient Night King replied.
“Is she even better than you?”
“That’s not something I can answer.” The Ancient Night King showed a strange expression when she heard Ciel’s words this time.
She added, “Not that I want to be arrogant, but I also have stories of the times I started from young until now. Except when facing a God King with a False God King cultivation, I really never lost. You must know that skinny old man, Old Geezer, I had beaten him until he cried when I was young. In terms of cultivation improvement speed, I’m much faster than the Ice Goddess, but indeed, my world used to be connected with many civilizations so we have more knowledge.”
“…”
Hearing her story, Ciel scratched his head, unable to help but be amazed.
She was a woman, but could be the leader of a civilization. If her civilization hadn’t been attacked by the spirit of the Immortal Domain Owner, it would have been much larger.
Ciel found it hard to imagine that this young woman sitting beside him had such a great life journey.
“Later, you can also see the boundless outside world!” The woman patted Ciel’s shoulder.
Hearing about the boundless outside world, Ciel thought about earth, wondering if he could return there later.
Of course, there was no way he could talk about that even to this woman who was scientifically his biological mother.
“By the way, where is she, that Goddess of Heaven?” asked Ciel, changing the subject.
Asked about that, the Ancient Night King suddenly smiled faintly.
“It seems that you can’t wait to meet your new wife, yeah, that’s only natural given that you’re still young, who isn’t excited when young,” she said, seeming to tease although her expression was not exaggerated, looking more calm with her smile.
Ciel rolled his eyes. In front of her, he had a little trouble acting like a playboy, unlike when he was in front of the Ice Goddess or the Elf Queen.
This difficulty was due to the knowledge that she was his mother.
So far, Ciel felt quite comfortable with her. Perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long without anyone to call family.
Although he had many wives, it was because of the relationship built between two people, not a fated relationship like mother and son.
