Chapter 124: We will go to Aqua Park tomorrow!
[You have returned to the Deathwill Castle.]
The gates leading to his home opened impatiently.
Alex passed through them, checking around to see whether someone didn’t try anything funny such as trying to go through the open gates simultaneously.
He then entered the grounds with a smile on his face.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The loud sound of steps reverberated in the vicinity. Those little steps could only belong to one person, and Alex was well aware of who had been notified first of his return.
His step slowed down, and he patiently waited for his daughter’s greeting.
At last, Celia came out of the building!
She didn’t say anything yet. Instead, she slightly arched her head back and gazed at Alex with twinkling eyes. Within those blue eyes, Alex saw her anticipation that had been building up for some good time.
“Everyone’s safe?” Alex asked as he ruffled her hair.
Celia closed her eyes, enjoying his hand, “Yes… Daddy!”
Alex knew that she had been waiting for him to use that word. And as he genuinely grew up to become her father, he accepted her feelings with his whole heart.
He hailed her up, then took her into his arms, “Oh! Don’t trash too much!”
“It’s not comfortable!” Celia pouted within Alex’s hands.
“I am not really familiar with holding little girls like you,” Alex rolled his eyes, then smiled, “You are my first daughter.”
Those words erased Celia’s pouting, and she grasped his head, hugging him tightly. They both talked about everyone else as if Celia wanted to take all the spotlight for themselves.
And as Alex’s daughter, she could get spoiled as much as she wanted.
Alex naturally pampered his little girl.
At last, Alex had arrived in the dining hall where everyone had gathered. To his return, every girl let a dazzling smile.
Sara’s expression was exquisite as she looked at Alex and Celia with a drumming heart. All sweet emotions enveloped her motherly side. She couldn’t help but let out a tear from seeing her daughter calling Alex a father.
She quickly wiped it off and straightened her back, “Welcome back, Alex. We have been waiting for you.”
After that, Sara approached him and tightly hugged the person she had fallen for. Many words flew to Alex’s ears as Sara wanted to thank him as deeply as possible.
Her hug was enough, though.
Alex reciprocated the cuddles with Celia in between them. The little princess thrashed more as these two couldn’t embrace themselves tighter.
Then, Alex gave a similar treatment to everyone else. Starting with Olivia, he cuddled with Stella, Remia, and Schnee. He even patted Ubo and Bo’s heads as he knew that the former had been devastated by what happened.
At last, he took a seat.
Olivia smiled, “What took you so long, handsome? I saw you were online for some time, you know?”
Alex nodded, “I’ve met the soul grave-keeper. I also visited Wolfen Demon’s den. I have some good news to share with you.”
His words turned the mood heavy again. But Alex believed that saying the more serious matters first would be for the better.
He told them that the soul grave-keeper wouldn’t bother them for some time. He still emphasized the defenses around the locked facilities, though. Alex also told about his theories about the old man and his plans.
He obviously told what had happened between him and the dullahans before his death too. Sara’s feelings couldn’t be really described at that moment.
Lastly, Alex believed he found a lot more about the soul grave-keeper’s plans. He was confident it would help him with his own research about the hungry demon’s concept in the long run.
Out of all girls, Schnee sighed first, then her lips curved for a faint smile, “Contract from the system is absolute. You can’t make mindless promises with that power on the line.”
While everyone else nodded gravely, Alex brightly smiled, “Schnee. Your Ultimate Skill form is the best.”
Schnee lifted her face and properly looked into Alex’s eyes. For a moment, her heart fluttered, and she felt happy to be recognized.
But then, Alex dropped a bomb, “I didn’t know there was something that could make you stop spitting teases and seal that sharp tongue.”
Schnee’s eyes widened in a shock. Her red lips parted and remained open as if thousands of words had left her.
On the side, Olivia sneered and glared at the cat woman with a taunting expression.
Schnee’s sisters glanced at the cat, then chuckled faintly.
Both knew that Alex said those words to bring back their former mood. And as they had predicted, Schnee erupted with curses.
Alex covered Celia’s ears before any bad words reached her.
Schnee howled, “You cunt! If it weren’t for me, everyone would first try those fucks with their common abilities. I knew we had to go all out from the beginning, or we would face severe consequences!
This best girl is who you should compliment! Fuck!” Schnee felt betrayed as she had truly felt happy at the start.
Alex nodded, “So you agree that your feral side seals that troublesome side of yours? Still, I can deal with both sides, so I don’t really mind.”
Schnee wanted to say more, but as his last words rang out in her head, she turned her eyes to the side, crossing her hands below her ample chest.
She was somewhat satisfied with those words, but she still hated Alex for betraying her feelings like that.
“Alex… You are no longer dullahan, are you?” Sara asked as she scrutinized Alex’s body for some time now.
Alex nodded, “It came from the Dullahan King’s Sword Ultimate Skill. I didn’t know the sword could possess such a power.”
Sara agreed with him wholeheartedly, “Even legendary items had undergone tremendous changes after the system’s arrival. Many treasures around the world probably changed severely.
I’m glad you could wield that power,” Sara smiled widely.
Alex patted Celia’s hair, “Because of our little girl.”
At first, Alex wanted to ask about Celia’s power and her future. He believed she should tame that power and grow stronger. But he then understood that it was too early for her to even start training.
It was already awesome for Celia that she exercised together with her mom and little friends.
Therefore, before Sara replied, Alex smiled, “Celia. We will go to the Aqua Park tomorrow.”
“Really?!” Celia’s eyes sparkled.
