Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World] Chapter 1007: gathering and goodbye’s
Previously on Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World]...
Within the Lin clan manor, Aana and Evelyn positioned themselves before a room. Earlier, Alena had assigned Evelyn one of the finest chambers in the manor.
This room sat in the identical building where Yohan lived alongside his partners, on the exact same floor. Hundreds of rooms filled this structure, yet most stayed unoccupied.
The mansion lay fully at Yohan’s command, as Alena currently dwelled in the matriarch manor—a separate building several hundred meters distant from Yohan’s residence.
"I’m heading into closed-door cultivation, so don’t disturb me for a bit. If something urgent pops up, then use the communication jade!" Evelyn declared to Aana standing beside her. Aana nodded; she understood her master thoroughly. Evelyn always kept others at arm’s length, choosing seclusion and closed-door cultivation for most of her time. She foresaw chaos brewing soon, having picked her side to battle alongside Yohan, forsaking her warlord duties in the Phoenix Kingdom.
Having selected her fighting side, the imperial family wouldn’t stay passive; they’d unleash all resources to destroy Yohan and chase Evelyn with the warlords’ unified might.
With a spot secured, Evelyn launched straight into cultivation, declining even the lunch Alena had prepared for her.
Soon after, Evelyn stepped inside, and a barrier enveloped the room, blocking any entry without her consent.
Aana released a deep sigh watching her master depart, leaving her with nothing immediate to occupy her. She cocked her head toward Yohan’s room. He was gone, stirring bitter memories to the surface.
"He called her ’love’... he never uttered those words to me. I hate him!" she grumbled in irritation.
After pausing there briefly, Aana departed to seek Alena and the others.
Meanwhile, Yohan and Jasmine arrived back, met by several familiar faces. Yohan spotted Athena and Kana among the group. He’d detected their auras earlier amid his clash with Aella and Aira.
Alena sensed a twinge of nervousness near Athena. She’d long known Athena as Yohan’s partner, but encountering her face-to-face proved intimidating, overwhelmed by her striking beauty and commanding aura.
Even so, Athena voiced the same plea as Evelyn: to linger in the Lin clan awhile and claim a room near Yohan. Kana echoed the request after hearing her master and sister planned to stay. All shared the desire: closeness to Yohan.
Alena could only approve their wishes, despite an odd discomfort from being encircled by countless stunning, exceptional women— Yohan’s partners all, save Evelyn and Vanya.
"Yohan..."
Suddenly, Elsa materialized before him, Vanya arriving moments later. Profound worry marked their expressions. Jasmine and the rest caught it at once. Athena exhaled seeing Elsa anew, recalling their unpleasant Soul Subspace clash.
"What happened? Is everything alright?" Yohan inquired, spotting her alarm.
"It’s Snowy... I couldn’t find her!" Elsa answered. Vanya eyed Yohan with equal concern.
Jasmine grew frantic hearing of Snowy’s absence. Since their first encounter, a profound connection had formed between her and the child. Snowy mirrored it, constantly hovering near Jasmine, toddling in her quirky style. Amid the latest turmoil, Jasmine had nearly overlooked her.
Athena and Kana were stunned the little dragon had vanished, much like Alena, who’d just discovered Snowy was a dragon cub.
"Don’t worry, she is alright! She followed me into the Soul Subspace when I took those two with me," Yohan reassured. Alena lifted her brows, at last uncovering her sister and Aira’s location.
Relief swept the group knowing she rested in the Soul Subspace— the securest spot for her— yet Elsa lingered anxious. From Snowy’s birth, Elsa had never abandoned her, Vanya sharing the same vigilance.
Observing their distress, Yohan nodded. "I understand. Moreover, I’ve already decided to take you back. I feel the same way; I don’t want to leave her on her own," Yohan stated, gazing at them. Conflict clouded Elsa’s face; though desperate for Snowy, she longed to remain aiding Yohan.
Noticing her inner battle, Yohan drew close and patted her head.
"Don’t forget, you are not from this world. If you recklessly use your strength to aid me, there is no telling how the will of this world will react. You cannot carelessly use your strength outside of your realm," Yohan reminded, locking eyes with Elsa.
"But..."
"It’s alright. I don’t plan on losing to anyone," Yohan comforted, stroking her head. Elsa drew a long breath and nodded, resolving to go with Vanya.
"Give me a moment," she uttered. She neared Jasmine, softly placing a hand on her belly, startling her.
"I will be there when the time comes. Until then, take care of yourself and look after this baby. I can already feel something extraordinary within you. Snowy likely felt the same; that is why she connected with you," Elsa conveyed. Jasmine’s face flushed crimson, her pulse quickening at Elsa’s words, yet she pulled Elsa into a firm embrace.
"I can’t wait to see you again, Sister Elsa!" Jasmine breathed. Elsa blinked in surprise before smiling, offering farewells, then embracing Alena.
"I will see you again, Lady Alena," she said. Alena beamed and lightly brushed her cheek.
"Look after yourself," Alena answered. Vanya merely waved, unused to such emotions. Moments later, Yohan clasped their hands, and they vanished.
With Yohan gone alongside them, Alena faced the remaining group and ushered them into the manor to assist with settling in.
