NOVEL NEXT Chapter 202: Fulfilling her wish
David looked at the ceiling of the room with a lost expression on his face; it was difficult to tell what he was really thinking.
His expression matched the desolate atmosphere of the room, which had nothing except a single wooden bed and a simple-looking carpet.
Suddenly, he let out a sigh and turned his head to look at the almost naked Ruby, who quietly lay in the bed with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face.
"I wonder what's going inside this girl's head," David thought while getting up from the bed. She was really serious about making babies.
David couldn't understand where all the seriousness was coming from, but he couldn't agree to her wishes.
He just couldn't randomly have a child; being a father required careful consideration—not everyone was fit to be a father.
David didn't want to be an irresponsible father. He wanted to be someone who could fulfill every wish of his child and give the best possible childhood ever, not a father who was constantly busy with work.
His schedule right now was too tight, and he might not be able to give the child the required attention needed from a father. Once the hundred-year deadline passed, he might consider the option again.
Ruby also seemed to have understood his thoughts and didn't push him too much; they silently enjoyed the touch of each other's bodies.
David had to say, he was really surprised by Ruby's performance in bed. She was a completely different person—she was like a wild, untamed tigress.
He slightly grinned and walked out of the room. Suddenly his smile stiffened; Mary seemed to be waiting outside the room.
David felt a little guilty. All these years she had constantly tried to woo him, and her feelings even seemed sincere.
After spending decades with her, this was something which David could judge.
And now he had given himself to Ruby first.
David sighed once again and stepped out of the room.
And indeed, just as he exited Mary's room, Mary came running in his direction at lightning speed, almost creating a sonic boom in the hall.
Lucas and Zose, who were meditating at the entrance, also looked at her in surprise, but after a moment they immediately turned their heads away.
Mary hugged David's body tightly with all the strength that she could muster; her head was buried in his chest.
Given his cultivation, which was miles ahead of hers—already at the peak of Yin and Yang Realm—if he wanted, David could easily avoid her.
But his heart suddenly softened, especially after seeing the wetness at the corner of her eyes.
In the next moment, David raised his hand gently and patted her head.
It was time to reward Mary for her sincere feelings.
Thinking up to this point, he immediately lifted Mary in his arms and blinked out of existence, appearing inside his room.
At this time, Borrito had also walked closer to Lucas and Zose, after finishing dealing with one customer.
During the past year, the popularity of the bank had soared; as a result, all sorts of people visited the bank every day.
David alone couldn't deal with so many people, so he asked his people to manage them.
"Is father going to eat her?" Borrito innocently said while taking a puff from his eternally lit cigarette.
Thankfully Claire wasn't here—she had gone out to meet her parents—otherwise he would have had to deal with her tantrum as well.
...
One month passed away in the blink of an eye. After wrestling on the bed for ten days and nights straight, David finally managed to leave her room.
David was more than satisfied; all the tension accumulated in his body seemed to have disappeared like snow under the shining sun. David felt incredibly relaxed.
He flicked his wrist and brought out a cup of coffee and started to slowly sip. Today was a special day, as today the project to connect all the one hundred and eighty cities would finally be completed.
Rexton, Lyla, Solorius, and his master had worked incredibly hard all these years; because of their efforts, the project was nearly going to be completed.
David was surprised by the speed at which things were progressing. He was expecting to face strong resistance from cultivators all over the cities, but everything went smoothly.
He had a feeling that a strange power was supporting him from behind.
Suddenly, while he was thinking, the void around him shivered and a blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.
Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow, therefore his soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one.
1 - Extract Client's Crystallization of Life (Talk no Jutsu, Grade - Uncommon)
2 - Extract Nobuto's memories from his birth till his death
3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime
4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life
Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana because of which you only have four hours left to make a choice.]
David looked at the screen with a nonchalant look in his eyes.
In the next moment, the big blue window disappeared and another small window appeared in its place.
[Crystallization of life needed for Breakthrough - 679/4000]
He was still a considerable distance away from the next Breakthrough. At this rate, it might take him at least six years of accumulation before he could break through.
At that thought, his eyes turned solemn.
With each Breakthrough, the speed at which his Crystallizations of life pumped mana inside his Spiritual Space also increased.
Right now, his humongous spiritual space was roughly 1/10 filled with mana, and with each passing moment, the mana sea level seemed to increase.
This development had left David secretly horrified in his heart.
If this continued like this, then he was going to meet his end soon, faster than he could have ever expected.

The Nightblade city was filled with increasing hustle and bustle; a celebratory atmosphere seemed to have enveloped the entire city.
Led by Arthur, Emilia and the girl in fiery clothes moved swiftly, and they finally arrived outside the Bank of Eternal Origin.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Arthur suddenly asked with displeasure.
In the last ten years, they had gone all over the place searching for the source of disturbance, but every time they failed.
Arthur even started to believe that the blonde was deliberately making things difficult for him; his earlier good impression of Ruby had completely disappeared.
The fiery-dressed girl looked at this scene and gloated inside. She wanted nothing more than for Emily to suffer.
Arthur took the lead and immediately made his way inside. Just as he took the first step, he noticed an almost suffocating aura that made his scalp tingle in fear. Arthur froze and looked ahead with wide-opened eyes.
In front of him stood a gigantic Origin Guard with his complete body covered under thick, glossy black armor.
Although the Origin Guard wasn't paying attention to Arthur, his mere presence alone made the world quake in fear. After all, now that David was at the Yin and Yang Realm, the cultivation of Origin Guard had also increased to the Earthly Destiny Realm.
The two girls were surprised by Arthur's reaction. Curious, they also followed Arthur's gaze, and their eyes landed on the Origin Guard in the distance.
The two girls felt a sharp feeling in their throats which made their expressions turn ugly.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined encountering such a person.
David had long noticed their presence; he was greatly surprised to find Emilia in the group, the same girl who was eager to show him around in Deadwood city.
But after a casual glance, he didn't care. Emilia seemed to have completely changed from before. If it wasn't for the thread attached to her, David wouldn't even recognize her.
But after taking a casual glance, he turned his head away and focused on the window in front of him.
