Scarlett Jennings noticed something unusual upon returning.
At the time, she only thought it was a Divine Soul injury that would heal naturally.
But today, while staying by Samuel Chalmers’ side, she attempted to sense the Domain’s power using her Divine Soul, and she clearly felt that her Divine Soul Power hadn’t made any breakthrough.
When Heavenly Origin embraced Althea... maybe it was just a coincidence.
Or perhaps it was because her and Althea’s Divine Souls happened to resonate, leading to the unexpected manifestation of the Ten-tails.
But it was only that one time.
Dashiell listened to Scarlett’s words, and his previously incessant chatter suddenly quieted down.
Immediately, he closed his mouth, not daring to ask anything more about the Ten-tails.
Though Samuel was also somewhat surprised, he didn’t doubt Scarlett’s sensing ability and said softly,
"The Ten-tailed Sky Fox is originally a chance granted by the Heavenly Dao. At least this time you’ve touched upon part of that opportunity; the fact you haven’t manifested the Ten-tails simply means the time isn’t right, don’t rush."
Rather than why she couldn’t sense the power of the Ten-tails, Samuel was more worried that she’d feel disappointed because of it.
Although Scarlett once said that the three-year period was to earn time to accumulate power to rival the Hearne Clan, Samuel had always known she never liked making empty promises.
When she said three years, she genuinely wanted to use that time to reach that position.
Scarlett nodded to him upon hearing this; though she had encountered few setbacks since beginning her study of Mystical Technique, that didn’t mean she lacked the courage to face adversity.
She knew in her heart that she had already received plenty of opportunities compared to others.
Seeing Samuel begin to soothe her, Dashiell quickly chimed in,
"You’re right, you’re already a Nine-tails, the Ten-tails can’t be far. Missing this chance doesn’t matter, just seize the next one. Or perhaps your opportunity is like mine—finding a kindred spirit, and with a flash of lightning, the Ten-tails will manifest."
Saying this, Dashiell thought his suggestion seemed quite feasible.
If the Flood Dragon and the Yellow Weasel can be granted recognition, perhaps the Nine-tailed Fox can too?
With this kind of thing, how will you know unless you try?
What if it works?
Scarlett wasn’t aware that Dashiell was already pondering a script for receiving recognition. Sharing this wasn’t out of disappointment for not manifesting the Ten-tails, but simply to inform them.
After all, both Samuel and Susan saw her manifest the Ten-tails firsthand, and the Hearne Clan’s elders thought she had mastered the Ten-tails, so hiding it wouldn’t be good.
...
Capital Metropolitan.
Unaware of Scarlett’s situation, Magnolia Hearne was inviting Emily Hearne and Luca Jennings to have a meal together.
Though the Demon Clan doesn’t have this custom, humans do.
Since they recognized each other as in-laws, they needed to sit down and have a meal together to make it official.
Moreover, the dishes prepared could reflect the elders’ attitude towards the other party.
Magnolia enthusiastically prepared alongside Ianthe, and Emily understood.
This daughter, over her human father, would climb the ladder with just a little leeway.
Just like now.
"Since we’re having dinner together, shall we invite Aaron too?"
Ianthe seemingly casually suggested.
Emily’s gaze lightly swept over Magnolia.
When it comes to awkward relationships, this daughter had more than just one.
Magnolia paused at Aaron’s name, then vaguely replied, "Invite him."
After speaking, seeing Ianthe take no action, she thought she was waiting for her to ask Aaron. But then Ianthe said,
"I knew you’d agree, so I already invited him beforehand."
Magnolia: ...
As if in response to her words, right after she finished speaking, Aaron’s figure appeared outside the courtyard.
Upon entering and seeing Luca Jennings there, he was unsurprised, evidently having been told about it by Ianthe.
But looking at the fully prepared meal, he spoke up,
