Chapter 393
Eunice exclaimed, “Honestly, I think only Lord Reaper’s talent could compare with yours!”
“Lord Reaper? How strong is he?” Roxy asked, curious.
“He’s in the transcendent realm,” Eunice replied with admiration. “When you really start cultivating, you’ll understand these realms clearly.
“Roxy, what you need to do now is simple. Refine as much spiritual energy into your flesh and blood as you can. The more you do that, the more your constitution and bloodline will change. Breaking through to the next realm will naturally follow. After that, I’ll find you some powerful techniques.
“Oh my God! I’ve discovered a genius! Roxy, I’m so happy for you!”
Eunice hugged her tightly. “You absolutely have to join the Legion in the future. Not the Dominion Vanguard or the Empyrean Sentinel.”
Roxy nodded, feeling a new, clear goal forming in her mind.
No matter wealth, power, or the martial path, she would surpass Ashton in every way. He would always be the one looking up to her.
Divorcing him was the best decision she’d ever made. She’d never regret it!
“If I get the chance, I’ll introduce you to Lord Reaper. Maybe he can guide your cultivation.”
Eunice’s eyes sparkled with admiration whenever she mentioned the Grim Reaper, and she made no effort to conceal it.
Roxy smiled. “Sounds good! I’m curious too. I really want to know what’s so special about this Lord Reaper that has you so enchanted.”
“You’re such a tease!” Eunice blushed. She really missed him right now.
At that moment, Ashton stepped out of the shower, wrapped in a towel. However, he was surprised to find Martha already asleep with a smile on her lips.
So much had happened today. She was clearly exhausted.
Ashton looked at the scantily dressed Martha, taking in her stunning figure, fair skin, and flawless face that could make anyone’s heart race. A flicker of regret stirred within him, but he also sighed with relief.
As a normal man, he wanted to claim this captivating woman, but today simply wasn’t the right time.
He covered Martha with a blanket. After some hesitation, he didn’t leave. Instead, he lay down beside her, breathing in her faint scent. A small smile curved his lips.
He embraced his youthful desires.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window.
Martha rubbed her sleepy eyes, then suddenly panicked. She shot upright in bed, wide–eyed. “Was it a dream?”
She felt her heart sink. Last night had been the most wonderful night of her life, but now Ashton was nowhere to be found.

Just as her face turned pale, she suddenly felt a lingering warmth beside her and caught Ashton’s familiar scent.
Her heart leapt to her throat as she called out, “Babe?”
“Are you awake?”
Ashton walked in from the living room. Concern flooded his eyes as he saw her pale face. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”
Martha immediately threw her arms around him. Tears welled in her eyes as she choked out, “Babe, I woke up and didn’t see you. I thought it was just a dream again. You have no idea how many years I’ve lived in that cycle. I was so scared! Babe, pinch me. I want to see if it hurts. If this is still a dream, I never want to wake up.”
“Silly, this isn’t a dream. I even slept with you last night.” Ashton gently rubbed her head, warmth spreading through him.
It felt so good to be treasured like this. What had those years with Roxy even been?
“What?”
Martha’s face flushed again. Nervously, she said, “I don’t even remember falling asleep. I had so many things I wanted to say to you, and I even prepared…”
Her voice trailed off as she buried her head in Ashton’s chest, whispering, “Babe, did you do anything to me last night?”
“I didn’t get the chance.” Ashton wore a look of regret.
“Well then… Do you want me now? I’m all yours.
