LOGINHowever, Ruby knew that even if decapitation and taking the Regeneration Pill would clear the poison in their veins, it would not remove the self-destruct ward in their pineal gland.It was right in the middle of their brains, which was more than what they could hope to regenerate.-The next day, as Charlie visited the Champs Elys Resort again, he brought two improved versions of the Cultivating Pill he had just cooked out of a cauldron.To his surprise, neither Penny nor Ruby took a break last night, as they were both meditating in the room Charlie prepared for Penny.They were both touched to see Charlie, leaving last night and then returning first thing in the morning.Still, Ruby told him, "You don't have to worry so much, Mr. Wade. I'll take care of Ms. Singer.""I'm not worried," Charlie smiled. "Just dropping by to deliver presents."Both ladies were confused as to what present he brought them, while Charlie never said it either.Instead, he told them, "Sit down in med
After helping Penny settle in, Charlie drove home to Thompson First.In the first place, the Champs Elys Resort was on the outskirts of Aurous Hill, and between Luketown and Thompson First, so it didn't cost Charlie much time.After he left, Penny asked Ruby respectfully, "How long has it been since you came, Ms. Chain?""It hasn't been that long," Ruby replied. "I was just lurking nearby when Coldie Chardon blew himself up, and I was struck by the shockwave with fatal injuries. It was Mr. Wade who saved me.""Blew himself up?" Penny blurted, and quickly pressed, "Do you refer to Lord… I mean, Fleur Griffin's self-destruct ward she cast into our pineal gland?""That's right," Ruby nodded and sighed. "Back then, she told us it's a ward that would save our lives. If we find ourselves cornered and having no chance of winning, we just have to energize the ward, and it will preserve our essence."We had believed her and were even grateful for it, until Coldie Chardon cast it on the ve
Charlie nodded. "Sure."With that, he, Tanya, and Penny moved to Tanya's suite, having breakfast together before Charlie took Penny downtown for a stroll.It was Penny's first time having a firsthand experience of the city, and she couldn't help being amazed at how great freedom felt.In the afternoon, he took her to the stadium where Tanya would perform her concert.As evening arrived, Penny had a stage-side view of the entire concert. Charlie could tell the concert really rocked her senses, since she wouldn't have a chance to see performances like this.-Over the next few days, Penny tagged along with Charlie wherever he went, never straying more than ten yards away from him.It was worth mentioning that she did so of her own accord, without Charlie requesting anything.As for Tanya, she had once again put on sublime performances for her concert.She remained in Luketown for a couple of days even after the last concert, livestreaming to promote the city for free.After a
To Charlie, helping Penny find her Sea of Consciousness was just a matter of thought.But for Penny, it was providence.Seeing that she reached her Sea of Consciousness without issue, he used his divine sense to warn her, "Stay here and cultivate properly. Don't get distracted—I'll take you back to your room to rest."Understanding Charlie's intention, Penny kept her divine sense in her Sea of Consciousness as she replied, "Thank you, Mr. Wade!"Charlie then withdrew his divine sense from her Sea of Consciousness, the room silent around them.Tanya was still drunk and sound asleep, while Penny had sat down, crossed her legs in meditation, and remained in her own Sea of Consciousness.Charlie gently picked her up, carried her to her room, put her to bed, then left the room and closed the door behind him.He then moved Tanya to the couch and, once he was done, returned to his own room.-The sun had risen when Tanya stirred.She felt dazed from head to toe, but managed to sit u
In that very moment, Penny felt herself pressed against a tremendous pressure that could crush her consciousness at any moment.Fortunately, Charlie was keeping her protected, his voice ringing in her very mind just as she was about to break, "Don't worry. Leave everything to me."Soon, Penny felt a great wave of Reiki enveloping her completely like one would swaddle an infant, making her feel safe from head to toe.Then, she felt Charlie pulling her divine sense down the depths of her Sea of Consciousness.She actually thought they would take their time diving, and hence didn't expect the realm around her to change dramatically the instant her divine sense hit the bottom.Suddenly, the depths were the skies, as if they had passed through an entrance into another world.They were suddenly up in the air, looking up at a bright blue sky in a realm with only sea and sky.It was a silent realm without clouds, and the azure waters below were also serene—aside from a little wave kicki
The Sea of Consciousness was like that one place you often heard of, but never had a chance to visit.And like an otherworldly paradise, people couldn't help imagining visiting it.Having been a cultivator for two years now, Penny's understanding of Reiki and the discipline itself was lacking despite her prodigious talent. She wanted to venture into her Sea of Consciousness too, but just couldn't reach it.Now that Charlie said he would help, she was naturally thrilled and replied respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Wade!"Charlie nodded. "With the Moutai, I dialed up your endoscopic ability—the energy of the alcohol guided your divine sense to venture deeper, showing you where to direct your endoscopic ability. "However, your divine sense isn't strong enough and you'll have trouble diving deeper anytime soon by your own strength… Even so, you should just keep going. Follow the energy signature of the alcohol, and I'll give you a push if you start stalling."A person's divine sense mi
Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you
[Mick Crane is simply amazing—he has no skill to speak off, but he has the audacity to take on the position of manager in Vintage Deluxe? Aren't they scraping the bottom here? Hell, I can be their manager and I'd still be better!][If I were Mick, I'd be gone by now. I'd never dare show my face aro
After meeting Charlie a few times, Julien had come to learn his way of manipulation, knowing when to back off or advance, or when he should disguise those moves as bluffs.His offer to pick up the tab for the partners' wages was a standard strategic retreat—a gesture of feigned sincerity, but Nate
Yolden was inwardly relieved, hearing that Charlie really didn't mind revealing himself to his future wife and stepson. He had led a down-to-earth life and earnestly loved Matilda and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.That was why he hoped that whenever they mentioned Charlie, Matild
