A light trace of excitement submerged within Amber''s tone as she asked, "With the way you''re talking…do you perhaps have an immediate n for us?"


    Cain nodded. "Indeed. Now, you have a choice, Amber. The Art I just used is called the Dragon Union Arts. And from this, we linked our feelings together, creating a foundational Soul Link. This allowed us to perform Soul Yin-Yang harmonization, allowing our cultivation to greatly soar. And there is a second step to this Art. If we do this step, I can grant you a Soul Dragon Mark. With this, your cultivation will soar to the absolute heavens, dusting this Lower Realm and even the Divine ne far behind you. And most importantly, this will allow you toe directly into our main Imperial Pce without any trouble."


    "Oh? So it''s like this? Interesting…very interesting indeed. But, before we get on with that, just what happened that caused you toe back earlier? Sounds like you had three months to stay here?" Amber asked.


    "It''s because of my grandmother, the Ancient Dragon Empress is demanding us toe home because of our Ancient Dragon Rules. I naturally can''t disobey, nor do I have any intentions to further dy the inevitable. And truthfully speaking, this trip will take quite some time, Amber. You won''t be able to see your parents again for a while if youe with me."


    "Hmmm…" A brief look of ponderance shed upon Amber''s face.


    Admittedly, this wasn''t a light decision at all; it was quite a heavy one. It could be said this would be a significant turning point in her life, directly changing her destiny forever.


    For such a massive, life-changing decision, Amber actually didn''t need much time at all. Her Martial Heart was clear as day. Her Soul was unable to waver no matter the crashing waves.


    She spouted an enchantingly beautiful smile, one that was full of divine assurance as she said, "Weren''t we preparing to travel this whole continent before and eventually transcend it for good in the first ce? This is basically speeding up the time for us, so why dy? All I really want to know is if there are plentiful World Spirit Master books in your pce?"


    Cain lightly chuckled. "Yes, our library is plentiful with World Spirit Masters information. You will certainly be able to satisfy your passion and even go far beyond. But now, what about your responsibilities? You are kind of considered the Vampire Princess, right?"


    "Oh that?" Amber lightly scoffed, dismissively waving her hands inplete disinterest. "Even before us, I never intended to involve myself with something so troublesome like that. Such things can be dealt with by the other family geniuses. Plus, my family can''t feasibly hold me down. My Martial Talent is enough to eventually surpass the family head. And I am also a World Spirit Master, practically giving meplete free reign over my decisions. If I want to eventually venture out, nothing can stop us."


    Towards issues pertaining to internal family politics, rtions, and statuses, Amber didn''t hold any strong opinions.


    From birth, she was meticulously cared for by her parents, giving her the best treatment within the family. Even though her parents aren''t the strongest in the estate, nobody can dare to match them. When together, they are a terrifying force that the family head undoubtedly can''t afford to offend.


    When ites down to it, matters like love or social connections heavily dilute when Martial strength is involved.


    No matter how many advantages Amber can feasibly grant the Hiyashi estate, because of Joy and Amiel''s protection, nobody could force her.


    Additionally, Joy and Amiel themselves have queer personalities heavily differing from the estate.


    These two weren''t so warped into the Martial path or had great fervent ambition like nearly all their other Vampire nsmen. The most they want to see is Amber being genuinely happy.


    This was nothing else than pure love towards their daughter.


    Adding on to her parent''s protection, Amber also haves Crimson Sea Academy backing and the all-powerful World Spirit Master Branch at her side.


    All these forcesbined, it was understandable that Amber is a rare case that could shave off any royal family responsibilities.


    These thoughts would previously make Amber simply feel tired, nearly wholly unmotivated.


    Moving about with nothing but unending boredom was a suffocating thought for her. It made her feel as if the whole world was a dull grey, and there wasn''t much worth finding passion over.


    But now, with Cain and her World Spirit Master status, Amber was honestly ready to leave this City, venturing out to greater Spirit heights! A whole new world-leading to fantastical heights was open right before her.


    All of it seemed incredibly wondrous.


    However, in the midst of these thoughts, a concerning thought couldn''t suppress itself in Amber''s mind. Her face was still bright, but her brows slightly creased in worries.


    She suddenly asked, "Uhm…one more thing, Cain. You say that I haveplete ess to your imperial ground, but…will my Martial Talent be enough for a ce where gods reside?"


    An honest slight tremble could be heard within her tone. After all, confidence and pride don''t mean much at all in front of absolute strength.


    Cain deeply thought it over for a moment before confidently saying, "From what my grandmother and Kali exined, this Soul Link will subtly enhance your Martial Talent as time goes on. But still, your current Talent isn''t bad at all, you know. Your Soul Form can probably cause some waves. It is a Holy Ranking. Barely anyone on this has this, and the legend says an invincible genius rose up from this."


    "Mn…I suppose you''re right." Amber slowly nodded though her eyes still held some little discontentment. "Haah~. Still, I don''t want to cause problems for you. So I''ll apply myself just enough where all suspicions can be cast off from me. In the end, as long as I have my books, you''ll see noints from me."


    "In terms of catch up, you don''t really have to worry about that. My family has plenty of resources we can make use of…"


    As Cain slowly trailed off, a sudden thought streaked into his mind. Admittedly, he almost felt a bit awkward thinking of this. But, he also knew this needed to be addressed now rather thanter.


    Witnessing an odd light crossed into Cain''s eyes, Amber felt her amusement rise. She thought to herself, realizing this has to be the first time this typically calm guy doesn''t look so confident.


    And naturally, Cain picked up on Amber''s bemused smile. Tracing his nose a bit, he slowly said, "Oh, and there''s one more matter I must mention. It''s…about my arranged fiance. I honestly forgot about it during my time here, but my grandmother just reminded me about her."


    "Arranged fiance, huh?" Amber teasingly giggled. "Knowing how to choose your words very selective, hm? But don''t think I''m some unreasonable woman. On the contrary, Ipletely understand arranged suitors. You know I had my fair share in the past. Thankfully, I just needed to unt my Talent so I could ignore all troublesome attempts. As for you…well, what do you n to do?"


    A bright, sunshine smile curled Amber''s lips as she asked.


    Indeed, Amber knows all about arranged suitors. However, nothing reached an irreversible point.


    Perhaps if her family estate wasn''t at the High-ss level and she didn''t have other powerful backings behind her, the family head would press on for marriage.


    It is widely known by everyone, Lower Realm or God Realm, that political marriages are an extremely effective way for any family or organization to boost their standings.


    Marrying into a higher powerful family or organization gives the best benefits to them all, resources!


    A lower-level family can experience a fundamental change in power and status, elevating themselves far more than what they usually can achieve.


    Although, methods such as this be less effective the stronger the family or organization are. Thus, while at least in Azure Lightning City, the Hiyashi family estate didn''t have a great need for political marriages as their standings are already massively high.


    But for Cain, this was an entirely different story.


    From Kali, he''s faintly aware that their imperial family isn''t anywhere near close to the top of the God Gxies. Hell, they weren''t anywhere near the top of the current realm they inhabited.


    Because of this, Cain''s family will need to worry about creating ties for various benefits.


    Even though the Thunderous Sword Sect is slightlyckingpared to the Huang Dragon Imperial Family, they aren''t too behind. And on their own, the Thunderous Sword Sect is a Holy Land far surpassing dozens of other Holy Lands within the Thunderous Collision Realm.


    Creating ties with this Sect would be an advantageous move that can cement their position against their current opposing forces.


    But even when thinking about it logically, Cain barely cared about other marriages or other girls.


    Truthfully, Cain simply wanted to pursue the Martial Way for his goal of absolute freedom. And after numerous evolutions of the mind throughprehension of the Heaven and Earth, Cain founded a legitimate passion into perceiving the mysteries of the grand Heavenly Dao.


    Topics like marriages or romances were never seriously regarded by Cain. His chance meeting with Amber was a stroke of luck.


    Without that chance encounter in the woods, Cain was assured he and Kali would ultimately be loners within this City.


    When considering this, Cain nonchntly shrugged, not minding Amber''s slightly intent gaze. "Honestly? I''ll just tell grandmother I have a greater interest in the Martial Way and have very little time for this marriage matter. Plus, with you by my side, I''m sure she''ll understand."


    "Ah, your grandmother is the Ancient Dragon Empress, right?" Amber''s eyes shined with a critical light. "Naturally, she would be able to shield you from this stuffy topic. But, what about my parents? What can we do to convince them about this journey?"


    "Pretty simple, actually. All we need to do is reach the Innate Lord Realm. From there, I''ll showcase Sky Ruler''s prowess and convince them that we have enough strength for a long adventure. I''m sure they won''t disagree, right?"


    Amber ponder for a moment before slowly nodding. "That…will work. And to be honest, Innate Lord would be enough to travel around. Sky Ruler gives us a far bigger cover-up. Oh! There''s also your World Spirit Master status and Spirit energy. Even outside the City, those two things alone will make you fearsome. And most of all, my parents are reasonably casual, simr to me."


    As she was speaking, Amber suddenly giggled. "Hehe~. To think we can so casually talk about reaching the Innate Lord Realm like we can take a walk.. The number of heaven''s proud geniuses that would want to peel our skins would be a hefty amount. But in any case, how should we start this?"
