After half an hour, Billy finished washing up and got into bed.
“Harleen, do you miss your husband?” Billy asked with a smile as he pulled his beloved into his arms.
“Mm!” Harleen nodded slightly, leaning against Billy’s broad chest. “I think about you every day!”
“Is that so?” Billy kissed her forehead. “I also thinks about you.”
“I don’t believe it!” Harleen teased.
“You’re Lord Dragon of the Nation now, always preoccupied with national affairs. Do you even have time to think about me?”
After everything they had been through, Harleen understood what her Billy meant to Glavale. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but marvel at it all. She could never have imagined that the man she had unintentionally saved six years ago would become the hero of Glavale.
The Lord Dragon was one of the most powerful me in the country. It all felt like a dream. Since the end of last year, Harleen had suspected that Billy’s status was not low, so she forced herself to become stronger and gradually narrow the gap between them. It wasn’t until their trip to Ether Mountain that she fully understood just how amazing her Billy’s identity was. If it weren’t for her rapid cultivation at Ether Mountain, she probably wouldn’t have had the courage to continue walking with Billy. She felt that between the two of them, there was a world of difference in terms of safety. Later, as her own cultivation improved, Harleen gained a bit of confidence. At least she was no longer just a decoration, nor a burden. As for whether she could help her Billy, that was a matter for the future, but she was confident in herself.
“Oh! So now you’ve been though, you dare to make fun of your husband!” Billy responded with a slight pause and a smile.
“Of course!” Harleen chuckled playfully. After a brief pause, it seemed like something came to mind. Harleen put on a pretend angry expression and said, “By the way, I want to settle a score with you!”
“What score?” Billy was taken aback again.
“There are so many scores to settle!” Harleen pouted her sexy lips.
“Last year, when you just returned to Ozin, I asked you what you did in the military camp, and you told me you were just an instructor.”
“And then, the first time I heard someone call you Commander Gardner, I asked you what Commander Gardner meant.”
“You told me it was just a meaningless code name, and that maybe it was because you looked handsome that people called you that!”
“But now I know that when you just returned to Ozin last year, you were already the renowned commander of Glavale’s Army of Bloodshadow!”
“In the entire Glavale War Department, you were one above ten thousand!”
“The two words Commander Gardner represent the spiritual support and belief of millions of soldiers in Glavale. They already worshipped you as a legend!”
“And you told me that you were just an instructor. It really made me angry!”
Getting excited, she reached out and pinched Billy’s waist.
Billy took a sharp breath.
“I didn’t want to scare you.” Billy pinched her nose and continued to smile. “If you secretly leave me, where am I going to find such a good wife again?”
“You’re just trying to make excuses!” Harleen’s face was filled with happiness.
“I’m serious. Don’t you remember? You foolishly asked for a divorce several times!” Billy laughed again.
“Humph! I was angry because of you.” Harleen pouted again in response. After a pause, she continued, “Billy, do you want to hear about my experience at Ether Mountain? I’ll tell you now.”
“Sure!” Billy kissed her forehead.
Then, Harleen began to explain to Billy. She described everything in detail, from the first day she and Felicia arrived at Ether Mountain to the day they left. It took nearly an hour.
After listening to Harleen’s words, Billy finally understood why the two sisters’ cultivation had advanced so quickly. The situation was similar to what he had guessed before. The Old Master first used a secret technique to transform Harleen and Felicia bodies at the peak of Ether Mountain, allowing them to break through to the War God-Emperor realm. Then, he sent them to Floating Cloud Peak.
At Floating Cloud Peak, the two sisters received the inheritance of a late-stage Sovereign Realm powerhouse, which allowed them to step into the Sovereign Realm.
“Billy, can you tell me about your background?” Harleen looked up at Billy and said softly.
“Background?” Billy was slightly startled.
“Yes!” Harleen nodded. “Now I have the ability to help you, so I want to know more about you.”
“Actually, I already have a rough idea about your background at Ether Mountain. You come from the Stuart family, but they don’t really know much about it.” Harleen said, pausing briefly before continuing. “I know that those experiences were painful for you, and you don’t want to remember them. If you don’t want to talk about it, we can discuss it later.”
“It’s okay!” Billy shook his head. “If you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
“Thank you, Billy!” Harleen responded softly.
“I was planning on telling you sooner or later.” Billy pinched Harleen’s straight nose.
Then, he began to tell her the story.
After about half an hour, he roughly explained the situation with the Stuart family. By now, Harleen had tears in her eyes, feeling a heavy heart. Although she was mentally prepared, she didn’t expect it to be so difficult for Billy during his childhood. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in Ozin.
“Why are you crying?” Billy chuckled and handed her a few tissues to wipe away her tears.
It was strange that now, when he talked about these things, besides missing his parents, he didn’t feel much hatred towards the Stuart family. Perhaps this was the reason why people said that the higher one stood, the broader their mind was. Now, as the respected Lord Dragon, it was difficult for him to be emotionally affected by a small Stuart family.
“Harleen, it’s not your fault that it brings back sad memories.” Billy said, smiling lightly.
“Billy, has there been no news all these years?” Harleen asked, adjusting her emotions.
“No!” Billy shook his head.
“Were your parents buried at the Stuart family’s place?” Harleen continued. “When it’s convenient for you, can you take me to the Stuart family to pay respects to your parents?”
“Sure!” Billy nodded. He had actually planned to visit the Stuart family soon. Although his parents were no longer there, it was still the place where he was born, and there were people and things he cared about.
