Baek Jimin raised her eyebrows upon hearing how her master described Aldrian.

He is that great?

But then she smiled and couldn't help but feel glad to learn a part of his secret. She had thought he was someone remarkable in his past life, but she hadn't expected that he was so extraordinary that even the Heavenly Demon and his wife couldn't fully grasp the extent of Aldrian's secret.

The woman smiled at Baek Jimin. She could feel that Baek Jimin truly loved the Absolute One for who he was. Baek Jimin felt happy to learn one of her man's secrets—not because he was someone great, but because it revealed more of the person she loved.

It showed that she did not care for status or power, but loved the person himself.

The woman nodded in approval. She was glad that her successor had this kind of character, and glad that Baek Jimin had gained the affection of the Absolute One.

If it had been in the past, when the Absolute One still ruled the cosmos, there was no way he would have taken any woman. He was someone who never formed romantic relationships with anyone, as he seemed to view everyone as his own child.

That was why Baek Jimin and that woman from the elven race were truly lucky to gain his affection. It also showed that the Absolute One still retained his mortal feelings, even after he began to regain the memories of his past life. With that sign, it could be said that one of the purposes of his journey had been fulfilled.

"I see," Baek Jimin nodded. "It couldn't be helped then. No wonder he said he still wasn't sure about his origin, about the truth of himself. He must be trying to remember that part of his past life as well."

The woman nodded with a smile.

"Anyway, child, the reason we could meet like this is because your karma with the Absolute One has grown truly strong. It allowed me to pull you into this place. I'm truly glad that you are the one who succeeded my script and gained the Absolute One's trust and affection."

"But we must end our conversation here. It would be dangerous if we spoke for too long."

Hearing that they would be separated, Baek Jimin suddenly felt a wave of sadness, which made the woman smile warmly.

"You don't have to be sad. There is a good chance we will meet again in the future—if you can pass the tribulation alongside the Absolute One. There will be many obstacles on his journey to return to his worthy place, and you, as his woman, will also be affected by that journey because of your bond with him."

Baek Jimin remained silent, but she nodded in understanding.

"Are you not afraid of the problems that may come your way in the future because of your relationship with him? It might even cost you your life," the woman asked with a smile, despite the ominous nature of her question.

Baek Jimin smiled as she shook her head.

"No, Master. I already love him for who he is, and I will share his burden. This is the least I can do as his woman. With a background as grand as his, I have to support him the best I can, even if it means sacrificing myself for him," Baek Jimin said without the slightest hesitation or fear.

The moment she fell in love with Aldrian, she had already made up her mind to support him in whatever he chose to do. Knowing how extraordinary he was, she understood that his future would be filled with challenges, and as his woman, she would stand beside him.

That resolve hadn't changed even after learning how grand his background truly was. If his path was dangerous, then she was ready to give everything for him.

Hearing Baek Jimin's honest answer, the woman nodded in approval once again.

"Alright, child. It looks like it's time. Ah—and my message to you before we part is this, keep training hard. You're truly a genius, having comprehended so much of the script despite your current cultivation level. This will greatly support the Absolute One," the woman said as she gazed into Baek Jimin's red eyes.

The same eyes as hers, an effect of the Heavenly Demon's Flower Scripture.

"And this is my gift to you."

The woman touched Baek Jimin's forehead, stunning her as she felt something entering her body. Before she could say anything, a wave of heavy drowsiness washed over her, making it difficult even to speak.

Her vision grew blurry as darkness slowly consumed her sight, but before everything went black, Baek Jimin heard the woman's parting words.

"I hope you succeed in your journey, child. Send me and my husband's regards to the Absolute One."

Then Baek Jimin's vision faded completely into darkness.

In the real world, she was still in Aldrian's arms. He had not fallen fully asleep and remained partially awake, occasionally opening his eyes even though it was already midnight.

As he closed his eyes to enjoy the stillness around them, he suddenly sensed something from the woman in his embrace. His eyes snapped open, and what he sense surprised him.

Baek Jimin had already reached the peak Earl stage, thanks to the dual cultivation technique he had done with her. They didn't just have normal sex, afterward, they also engaged in proper dual cultivation to raise Baek Jimin's cultivation level.

However, at this moment—though she still appeared to be asleep, Aldrian could sense that her cultivation was slowly rising.

After a short while, she broke through to the Low Marquess stage. He was surprised and couldn't help but examine her body. She remained in a deep sleep, but the flow of energy within her clearly showed that she was cultivating.

In other words, she was cultivating in her sleep.

Aldrian narrowed his eyes. This kind of condition could be possible if her consciousness was no longer within her, yet still connected to her physical body and cultivating through it.

It was more or less similar to the enlightenment state, but with one crucial difference—the cultivator was asleep while it happened. That made it far more difficult than cultivating normally through conscious effort.

He wondered what was happening to Baek Jimin, but then he remembered Sylphia, specifically what happened after they had sex for the first time. At that time, Sylphia had gone through a great change after she met Seralis in her dream.

"Could Baek Jimin be experiencing the same thing as Sylphia?"

Aldrian kept observing her until he sensed her body stabilizing. The flow of energy within her gradually returned to normal. Her cultivation didn't rise any further and remained at the Low Marquess stage, but her aura felt more refined and powerful, a clear sign that her foundation had become much stronger.

There wasn't much change in her outward appearance, but Aldrian couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed. She seemed even more beautiful to him, as if her aura was subtly altering how he saw her.

He stroked her sleeping face, his gaze lingering on her for a few minutes before he watched her eyelids tremble and slowly open. Aldrian smiled as he finally saw those red eyes of hers—the ones that always captivated him. But this time, he sensed something different in them.

Her eyes felt even more powerful in the way they captivated him. There was something more mysterious in them too, as if she had changed somehow. He wondered what she had experienced in her dreams, but set the thought aside for now as she smiled at him.

Then he asked softly,

"Have a good sleep?"

"Hmm," she murmured, hugging him tightly and rubbing her head against his chest.

"I love you. I really love you," she said softly.

He stroked her head with warmth, then asked with a slight smile,

"What were you dreaming about? Was it me?"

She kept rubbing her head against his body but still answered him.

"Who knows?"

He just smiled and continued watching the adorable act of his woman. Eventually, she stopped rubbing her head and looked into his eyes, smiling.

"I'm truly lucky and glad that I became your woman," she said, touching his cheek. "You know, I just had an amazing dream—one that's hard to believe."

"Oh? Tell me, dear, what kind of amazing dream did you just experience?" Aldrian asked, still smiling.

Baek Jimin then began telling him about her meeting with the creator of the Heavenly Demon's Flower Scripture and everything they had discussed. Aldrian listened quietly, and to be honest, he wasn't particularly surprised that Baek Jimin had encountered the Heavenly Demon's wife.

If Sylphia could meet with Selaris, the spirit of the Heavenly Tree of the World, then it wasn't strange for Baek Jimin to meet the creator of the Heavenly Demon's Flower Scripture—the very scripture she had comprehended.

After recounting the conversation with her master, Baek Jimin said softly,

"She also asked me to send both her and the Heavenly Demon's regards to you."

Aldrian nodded, though his eyes remained fixed on hers as she looked back at him.

"So, how do you feel after learning one of your man's secrets, and knowing I might face all kinds of challenges? Do you still want to be with me?" he said with a slight joking tone.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" she replied with a teasing smile. "I have someone as great as you, how could I possibly let you go? High risk, high reward."

"Is that so?" He leaned in slightly, his voice shifting to a sensual tone. "Then I have no choice but to reward you for your dedication and loyalty."

Baek Jimin suddenly felt something hard press against her lower abdomen. Her eyes widened slightly, and a blush spread across her cheeks. She already knew what was coming next.

The night was still long for the two lovers to enjoy.
