Chapter 564 Aspiring To Be Carefree


    Jonathan had a bad feeling about Gregory. This feeling was purely Jonathan''s intuition without any


    logical exnation! Therefore, he didn''t feel it was right to say much at the moment. After all, Gregory


    had been raised by Richard since he was a child, and it wouldn''t be fair to cast doubt on him just


    because of Jonathan''s own feelings.


    However, in the end, Jonathan decided to give Richard a call.


    He didn''t want any minor oversight on his part to lead to irreversible regret.


    At the very least, don''t leave yourself with any regrets.


    So, after boarding the ne, Jonathan seized the opportunity before takeoff to call Richard.


    After the call connected, Richard was slightly puzzled. He chuckled and said, “Why are you calling me


    again? You don''t seem like the type to be so reluctant to part!”


    With a smile, Jonathan then asked seriously, “Master, there''s no one else around you, right?”


    Richard asked, “No. What''s the matter?”


    Jonathan said, “Master, I know that Gregory is your close confidant. I hope you don''t think I''m trying to


    stir up trouble with what I''m about to say!”


    Richard then said seriously, “Jonathan, I trust you more than anyone else. No matter what you say, I


    will never think that you are stirring up trouble! You are not that kind of person.”


    “Thank you, Master!” Jonathan could feel Richard''s sincerity. He immediately said, “I have a hunch, and


    my hunches are usually urate. I feel that Gregory''s motives are not entirely pure, he seems


    particrly interested in Sovereign Mirror. You must be wary of him! I know that your cultivation is


    profound now, Master, but I''m afraid you might let your guard down with those around you.”


    Richard''s expression grew serious, he asked, “Do you really think there''s something wrong with


    Gregory?”


    Jonathan said, “It''s just my intuition, but caution is the key here. Master, I hope you can be more


    vignt!”


    “Alright, I understand,” Richard said. “I will take your words to heart.”


    Jonathan immediately said, “Well, I won''t disturb you then.”


    “Take extra care yourself!” said Richard.


    Jonathan gave a slight smile and said, “Alright.”


    Afterwards, Jonathan hung up the phone.


    Afterward, the ne took off, soaring straight into the sky.


    That evening, Jonathan returned to Eastsummer. Walrion, Aurora, and Torrence drove to pick up


    Jonathan.


    After a lengthy journey around Alberbridge Range, they finally arrived in Eastsummer!


    Jonathan''s expression remained dazed. Although he had made up his mind, he couldn''t quickly recover


    from his sorrow. Torrence, who was closest to Jonathan, couldn''t help but ask him while they were in


    the car, “You went to Lostaria, which should have been a happy asion. Why do you seem so


    unhappy after returning? What exactly happened?”


    Jonathan said to Torrence, “Don''t ask me what happened. Today, I want to get drunk. When we get


    back, you guys''pany in drinking will be the greatest help you can give me!”


    Walrion was the first to say, “Your Majesty, I would be honored to have a drink with you!” he spoke


    while he was driving.


    Then Jonathan turned to Aurora and asked, “What about you?”


    Aurora appeared incredibly alert as she said, “I cannot drink for I must stay sober to ensure your


    Majesty''s safety!”


    With a light smile, Jonathan chose not to say more.


    The decision was made to drink wine within the castle.


    Yeverie was eagerly awaiting Jonathan''s return, but she didn''t expect him to be so downcast. She had


    imagined that when Jonathan came back, he would be carefree and full of joy.


    Yeverie was originally resentful towards Jonathan, but her heart clenched in sympathy seeing him so


    downcast. Her resentment dissipated, evaporating like smoke in the wind.


    The food and drinks were quickly prepared. There was steak, a variety of delicacies, and even


    Chanaean cuisine! The drinks included the likes of Remy Martin.


    The best thing about Dietrich Castle was undoubtedly its fine wine.


    However, for Jonathan, good wine was somewhat wasted, because he was a heavy drinker.


    That night, Jonathan really got drunk. He was utterly andpletely intoxicated.


    He just drank heartily and let himself get thoroughly drunk!


    However, entering dreand in such a way gave Jonathan an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!


    The notion that it would be no use trying to drown one''s sorrows with alcohol may not necessarily be


    urate. This was because when one was overwhelmed by the effects of alcohol, their consciousness


    became blurred, and they might stop thinking about anything at all.


    When one was heartbroken, they often find sce in drinking, and this was not without reason.


    Sometimes, alcohol could be a good remedy.


    Walrion, Torrence, and Yeverie were all drinking together. However, none of them got drunk. Aurora


    was always by their side, watching over them. Afterward, the four of them helped Jonathan back to his


    room.


    This was the first time the four of them had seen Jonathan, who was always strong, confident, and


    He was so disheartened.

    The four of them couldn''t help but feel puzzled. What exactly had Jonathan experienced in Divine


    Realm?


    Then, under the urging of the other three, Walrion dialed Beatrix''s number.


    Once the call connected, Beatrix didn''t say much. “If Jonathan doesn''t want to say anything, then it''s


    not right for me to tell you. He might be down for a while, but I believe he will get better. You just need


    to put in a little more effort.”


    So, the phone call just ended like that.


    The next day, Jonathan woke up from his hangover.


    The sun is shining brightly!


    The first thing he saw was the gentle and beautiful Yeverie. She called out, “Your Majesty!”


    Jonathan sat up, a faint smile on his face. He said, “You don''t need to stay by my side. I''m fine!”


    Yeverie stepped forward, embracing Jonathan''s head, and said, “Your Majesty, no matter what


    happens, Yeverie will always be by your side.”


    Jonathan gently broke away from Yeverie''s embrace and said, “I need to get up now. I''m a bit hungry.


    Could you prepare something for me to eat?”


    Yeverie didn''t overthink it, and simply said, “Okay!”


    After breakfast, Jonathan gave orders to Walrion. He instructed him to bring in more blood. In fact, he


    was even willing to pay a hefty price for it if it meant calling for volunteers to donate blood.


    Even though Jonathan was somewhat eager for quick sess, he would never resort to doing


    anything outrageous or harmful.


    Within three days, Jonathan ceaselessly consumed fresh blood, transforming it intobat force!


    For three days, he continued consuming blood, yet he only managed to advance one level in his


    cultivation.


    Jonathan noticed something unsettling. The progression was bing increasingly difficult. Despite


    consuming so much fresh blood, the benefits it could bring were diminishing.


    In this situation, it seemed that the only viable solution was to find a living person and feed on fresh


    blood. In a way, there didn''t appear to be any other good options.


    Jonathan would not consider this approach for he would not let himself tread the path of dark magic.


    At this point, he was unable to hold back his curiosity, so he asked Walrion, “In the vampire n, how


    does one enhance their cultivation in theter stages?”


    Walrion replied, “Your Majesty, generally, when a vampire member reaches Immortal Stage, their


    progress slows down significantly. A master of the fifth level in Immortal Stage would need to practice


    for as long as ten years, and this doesn''t even take into ount their secret rituals of human blood


    sacrifice.”


    “Moreover, ten years is considered extremely fast for someone with such high talent,” Walrion said.


    “Your Majesty, your cultivation speed is unprecedented. I urge you not to act too hastily! Otherwise, you


    might lose your mind and go mad!”


    Jonathan paid no attention to Walrion, he murmured, “Ten years?”


    D*mn it! Jonathan couldn''t help but feel frustrated. Ten years, if it takes ten years to reach the ninth


    level of Immortal Stage, then how many more years would it take for him to concoct Destino Fruit?


    How many more years will it take for me to surpass Divine Emperor?


    Can Catherine wait for me for so many years?


    Jonathan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing all his irritation and unease.


    “Alright, I understand,” Jonathan said with a smile to Walrion.


    Walrion let out a slight sigh of relief.


    For the following month, Jonathan spent his time practicing in the ancient castle.


    Through his relentless practice, he finally reached the fifth level of Immortal Stage!


    Over the past year, Jonathan had gone through so much, and his transformation had been immense.


    He arrived in Horington at the beginning ofst year, but it was almost October now. In this one year


    and ten months, his cultivation had progressed from the peak of Neutralizing Force to the unimaginable


    fifth level of Immortal Stage!


    His progress was beyond imagination.


    This was also a change brought about after the advent of the Great Tribtion.


    After a month of dedicated training, Jonathan''s mood had significantly improved, and he was no longer


    as gloomy as before.


    Jonathan began to feel that constantly cultivating there was like attempting the impossible.


    The gradual progress was just too slow. He wanted to go and look around, perhaps he might stumble


    upon an opportunity that way.


    Jonathan was a man who disliked trouble. Hence, he didn''t tell anyone, and just left a note. Then he


    got in his car and left Eastsummer.


    However, it was worth mentioning that Jonathan also left a letter for Yeverie.


    In the letter, Jonathan apologizes to her!


    Yeverie, writing you this letter is as good as meeting you in person. I know I''ve hurt you deeply.


    Although you''ve said nothing all this while, and I''ve been living day by day, saying nothing as well. But I


    know, I owe you an apology! I made promises to you to give you happiness, but in the end, I failed to


    fulfill any of them. There''s something I''ve never mentioned as I do not want my personal affairs to gain


    pity from everyone. But I feel that I owe you an exnation! I''m a selfish person who disregards others''


    feelings. If I like someone, I’ll do that. Hence, with you, I was never deceitful. My love for my wife


    Catherine is genuine, and my affection for you is just as real. However, Catherine risked her life to save


    me, and her life is now hanging in the bnce. She has gone with Divine Emperor, and her fate is


    unknown. Now, I don''t want anything, but to focus on my cultivation. I am hoping to use my own


    abilities to save Catherine! As for us, Yeverie, I can''t give you anything. If you meet someone you like,


    go ahead and marry him. I will bless you!


    When Yeverie saw this letter, she finally understood everything. Her tears could no longer be held back


    and began to fall.


    She felt that Jonathan was never a selfish person. He was a particrly free-spirited and exceptionally


    upright man!


    Yeverie silently vowed in her heart. Jonathan, I will wait for you forever!


    As for the note Jonathan left for Walrion and the others, it was quite straightforward.


    I''m leaving, and I don''t want you to look for me. The affairs of the vampire will be entrusted to the three


    of you—Walrion, Torrence, and Aurora. I need to travel to many ces to hone my cultivation.


    It was as simple as that, and so capricious!


    Subsequently, Jonathan drove that Land Rover out of Alberbridge Range.
