Chapter 556 Love Her From The Depth Of His Soul


    At that moment, Jonathan had made up his mind. He believed there were advantages to controlling the


    vampire. At the very least, it would deter anyone from trying to limit or obstruct the development of


    Eastsummer.


    Jonathan quickly gathered his thoughts. Before long, Catherine emerged from her bath.


    She slipped into a purple nightgown, her hair still damp. Jonathan fetched a hairdryer and softly said to


    Catherine, “Let me dry your hair for you.”


    Catherine sat in front of the vanity table, her smile radiant as she nodded in contentment.


    Afterward, Jonathan began to carefully blow-dry Catherine''s hair. “Catherine, there''s something


    puzzling me.”


    Catherine said, “What is it?”


    Jonathan continued, “Today, I thought I executed my punch at Ignatius perfectly. Logically, no matter


    how advanced his skills were, I should have been able to track his movements. However, the reality is


    that I couldn''t react in time at all.”


    Catherine exined, “I know the reason. It''s because Ignatius''s cultivation has reached the Void Divine


    Stage. He can clearly sense and effectively utilize the surrounding molecules and maic fields.


    When you throw a punch, there''s wind resistance and air pressure. But he''s like a fish in water, able to


    breathe freely and even use these forces to his advantage.”


    Jonathan said, “It''s as if he''s wearing ice skates on the ice. The speed and agility of a skilled skater on


    the ice is something beyond the imagination of ordinary people, right?”


    Catherine nodded in response. “That''s exactly it! When abat expert goes up against Ignatius,


    there''s absolutely no chance of winning—not even the slightest.”


    Jonathan shot another question. “What about you? What''s your current level of cultivation?”


    Catherine paused for a moment before replying, “I''m not sure what my level of cultivation is, or rather, I


    don''t know how to describe it. When my master was teaching me, he simply helped me understand the


    surrounding maic fields, the arrangement of molecules, and their paths of movement. Additionally,


    he taught me a set of breathing techniques and fist strength techniques. Whenever I act based on


    these two sets of techniques, the results are always unexpectedly effective.”


    “Can you sense maic fields and molecules?” Jonathan could not help but express his


    astonishment.


    Catherine exined, “We''re surrounded by infinite molecules and maic fields, generating electricity


    through friction, creating cold with the wind, and experiencing the passage of time, among other


    things!” She paused, then continued, “All maic field molecules exist within a corresponding


    process, and there will never be any errors. However, sometimes, a master can alter these maic


    field molecules. But even if they are altered, the molecules will return to their calm state, just like water


    in a tank. No matter how much you stir it, it will return to calm in the rtive process!”


    Jonathan was still somewhat puzzled. “I''m still a bit confused.”


    Catherine borated further, “Let me put it this way. Have you ever felt that the same route you walk


    every day would normally take forty minutes, but sometimes, you feel you could walk really fast using


    the same route? But in reality, you still arrive some forty minutester. Also, sometimes when you


    attend a ss, you would feel that particr ss seems to finish early orst forever, even though it''s


    the same duration. The duration is the same, but the perception has greatly differed. This is like when


    the maic fields and molecules are disturbed, they stillply with the theory of rtivity.”


    Jonathan experienced a sudden epiphany. As Catherine spoke, he realized he was familiar with the


    feeling she described. Although he had never delved into it in-depth before, now he understood the


    profound truth hidden within her words.


    “Maic fields, the rotation of molecules, infiniteyer uponyer, yet not a bit chaotic!” Catherine


    exined, “We need to harness them, let them work to your advantage. This is a highly precise


    form, especially when used against enemies, it bes even more challenging. The most difficult


    first step is that very few people can truly grasp the existence of maic fields and molecules.”


    Jonathan agreed with what Catherine said because he simplycked the ability to sense them.


    “Catherine, can you sense it?” Jonathan asked.


    Catherine nodded, replying, “Of course!”


    Jonathan continue asking, “So, how exactly can one sense it?”


    Catherine said, “There are two ways to sense it. One is through cultivating mana. Mana is most


    sensitive in The Void, and its presence can be felt. However, to reach the level where you can control


    and utilize maic field molecules, your mana must at least reach the Immortal Stage.”


    Jonathan could not help but feel frustrated. Despite reaching the Immortal Stage, he was essentially


    devoid of mana.


    Jonathan turned to Catherine with a question burning in his mind. “Catherine, does your cultivation now


    allow you to control maic field molecules? Is this level of cultivationparable to the Immortal


    Stage?” He paused briefly before continuing, “Wait, that can''t be right. Immortal Stage masters wouldn''t


    stand a chance against Ignatius, yet you can challenge him. Have you truly advanced so significantly in


    just a few months?”


    Catherine answered, “That''s not the case.”


    Jonathan probed further. “How is that so?”


    Catherine exined, “As I mentioned earlier, cultivating mana is just one way. There are also people


    who are born with the ability to sense maic field molecules. Some are born with immense mana!


    And I belong to thetter, born with the ability to sense maic field molecules.”


    “I see!” Realization dawned on Jonathan.


    As Jonathan carefully blow-dried Catherine''s hair, his mind delved into profound contemtion. He was


    acutely aware of his modest innate talents, whichpelled him to rely heavily on his diligent and


    acquired efforts.


    Despite gaining formidablebat force by relying on vampires and reaching the cultivation stage in


    such a short time, had to sacrifice advancing through the Destino Art.


    Mabel and Beatrix pursued a conventional path, characterized by steady progress toward the infinite


    wellspring of mana. With increased mana capacity, one''s ability to perceive the intricate dance of


    surrounding maic field molecules also expanded.


    Once they could truly merge with the maic field molecules, they would be invincible.


    For instance, even though Jonathan''s currentbat power was unparalleled, when he encountered


    Ignatius, hecked the ability to strike back.


    Jonathan understood that reaching the ninth level of the Immortal Stage and sessfully condensing


    the Destino Fruit would grant him potent mana. However, condensing the Destino Fruit was a


    challenging feat. Even Anakin had not achieved it yet. It would indeed be a formidable endeavor for


    Jonathan to aplish.


    Nheless, Jonathan was not disheartened. He believed he would cross that bridge when he came to


    it.


    Before long, Jonathan had dried Catherine''s hair with a hairdryer.


    Catherine said to Jonathan, “You should go take a shower too!”

    Jonathan bobbed his head in response.


    Ten minutester, Jonathan emerged from his bath, d only in a pair of boxer shorts. Droplets of


    water still clung to his skin.


    Catherine had already settled into bed with a book in her hands,fortably propped up against the


    headboard, engrossed in her reading.


    Under the dim yellow glow from the tablemp, she looked exceptionally stunning.


    At that moment, Catherine radiated a peak of beauty. Jonathan approached the bed, slid beneath the


    cool embrace of the nket, and deftly retrieved the book from Catherine''s hands. Then, he leaned in


    to kiss her lips.


    Instead of avoiding his gaze, Catherine stared steadily at Jonathan.


    Jonathan kissed Catherine passionately, their lips and tongues entwined in a moment of intense


    sweetness.


    After a while, their lips parted.


    Jonathan shed a gentle smile and said, “Catherine, you want to know something?”


    “What is it?” Catherine hummed with curiosity.


    Jonathan said, “I''ve traveled to numerous ces and encountered many women in my past. Settling


    down or considering marriage was never on my mind.” He paused for a moment and continued, “Even


    when I married you, I saw it as a pragmatic arrangement. I didn''t intend to invest any emotions in it.”


    “What about now?” asked Catherine.


    With profound affection, Jonathan replied, “Catherine, I love you. I love you so much.” He chuckled


    after speaking, adding, “I can''t believe I''d utter such cheesy words.”


    Catherine''s face radiated happiness as she replied, “Same here. I believed I would live a solitary life


    forever. I never thought I could fall for someone since I assumed I was incapable of feigning emotions


    or connecting with others. But then, I met you.”


    With a hint of curiosity, Jonathan suddenly asked, “Why do you treat me so differently?”


    Catherine responded, “During our time on the Divine Realm''s solitary ind for the assessment, you


    didn''t utter a word, but I could sense it. You were contemting sacrificing yourself for my well-being.”


    Jonathan was slightly surprised at that remark. He smiled and said, “You were aware of that?”


    Catherine pouted slightly, saying, “I''m not a fool, you know.”


    Jonathan voiced, “Did that mark the moment you stopped disliking me?”


    Catherine nodded before replying, “I just want you to know that I''m incapable of loving anyone else.


    You''re all I got, so you can''t abandon me.”


    Jonathan''s lips met hers as he murmured, “You can''t possibly fathom how important you are to me.


    You''re the very essence of my existence, and I''d give my life to shield you.” Pausing, he continued, “I


    realize this might sound clichéd, but words can hardly capture the depth of my emotions for you.”


    “I understand,” said Catherine.


    With a gentle smile, Jonathan leaned in and kissed Catherine on the lips.


    After a while, Jonathan held Catherine in his arms but made no further move.


    “Why did you stop?” Catherine asked, looking puzzled. “You can do anything to me. I''m your wife.”


    “It won''t bring you pleasure,” Jonathan assured. After a momentary pause, he continued, “Furthermore,


    our moments together are not always abundant. I want you to relish this precious time with a tranquil


    heart.”


    “But it''ll make you happy, right?” said Catherine.


    “Let''s discuss it tomorrow. Today, I simply want to hold you like this. It surpasses all my desires,”


    Jonathan replied tenderly.


    Catherine chose to remain silent, findingfort in the embrace of Jonathan''s arms.


    After years of soul-searching, battling loneliness, and grappling with the grief of losing her grandfather,


    Catherine finally discovered her haven. In the arms of Jonathan, she had found sce, and their hearts


    had forged a profound understanding.


    That night, for Jonathan, was one of unparalleled peace and joy.


    Having weathered numerous trials and tribtions, Jonathan discovered sce in this night.


    Life has a knack for surprising us. Jonathan, who had staunchly evaded the idea of marriage, found


    himself unexpectedly immersed in its embrace. He deemed the prospect of matrimony bleak, yet little


    did he anticipate encountering Catherine—a woman he loved profoundly, from the depths of his soul.
