Chapter 388: Chapter384-Owen and Leslie’s Dynamic


    ?


    Now, seeing other women around Owen sparked a faint sense of urgency within Leslie.


    "Invite Owen over," Ysera said, a glimmer of curiosity shing in her eyes. "The famed name of Leslie''s husband resonates far and wide, yet I''ve never seen him in person. Let''s witness his greatness today!"


    As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Leslie, filled with barely concealed envy and jealousy.


    The maid promptly left the hall to carry out her orders.


    ...


    Meanwhile, in the ancient and majestic city of Emerald Dreamscape, Owen, apanied by Fer and the Lord of Celestial God Pce, entered through its gates.


    The mages within the city turned their gazes toward the trio, their discussions buzzing like a swarm of bees.


    "So that''s the legendary Owen? He''s as handsome as they say!"


    The city''s noblewomen and youngdies couldn''t take their eyes off Owen, captivated by his


    aura.


    With just one nce, they felt as though they were seeing their ideal prince charming-a perfect blend of unparalleled talent, unmatched strength, and striking looks.


    "Those two women... aren''t they the Lord of Celestial God Pce and Fer?"


    "Yes, it''s them! Rumor has it they fought fiercely over Owen. But looking at them now, they seem soposed. Could it be they''ve decided to share him?"


    "Lucky guy! Those two are already top-tier beauties, not to mention the renowned Leslie. If you add in the saints who''ve issued bounties for Owen, he could spend each day of the week with a different one! Imagine them all together-what a dream!"


    --


    As the three walked down the street toward the Lord''s Mansion, they overheard the crowd''s chatter.


    Owen remained calm, pretending not to hear a word.


    The Lord of Celestial God Pce, however, turned beet red. After all, her grandfather had explicitly tasked her with staying by Owen''s side-not just to learn from him, but clearly with the hope of producing an heir!


    What had already been an embarrassing arrangement now became public knowledge, and she wished the ground would swallow her whole.


    Fer, on the other hand, smirked as she leaned toward Owen and whispered, "If you want to take both of us, I wouldn''t mind at all."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Owen shot her a nce, immediately recognizing her mischief.


    The best way to handle someone like her? Ignore her entirely.


    So, he simply snorted and turned his attention elsewhere.


    Unfazed by his reaction, Fer pouted. "What a boring man. Such an incredible opportunity, and he doesn''t even care."


    Not finding the amusement she sought, Fer shifted her attention to the Lord of Celestial God Pce, who immediately huffed and stormed into the mansion, leaving Fer no chance to tease her further.


    "She''s no fun at all," Fer muttered, shaking her head in disappointment.


    Soon, they arrived at the grand entrance of the Lord''s Mansion, where Candice, the general, greeted them with a respectful bow.


    "Owen, a man of unparalleled might, it''s an honor to see you again!"


    Candice''s reverent gaze reflected the awe many felt toward Owen.


    Whether it was his defeat of the three Celestial God projections or his recent annihtion of Avril and the Lord Forbidden Zone, these feats were legendary, shaking the very foundations of the Pure Land.


    Owen nodded slightly.


    Candice had left a positive impression on him, and herpetence suggested she might be a valuable ally in the future.


    "The Lord is waiting for you in the grand hall," Candice informed him, gesturing toward the mansion. "Leslie and Madelyn are also present."


    With a slight nod, Owen stepped inside.


    ...


    Both Fer and the Lord of Celestial God Pce hesitated as they followed him.


    For the Lord of Celestial God Pce, this was particrly awkward.


    She had once been a sworn enemy of the Emerald Dreamscape, and tensions had only recently escted with the battle at Skyline Gorge against Ysera.


    Now, she was here-on enemy turf-following Owen''s lead. To make matters worse, Leslie, Owen''s wife, awaited them inside.


    Fer, too, felt uneasy. She had interfered in the duel between Ysera and the Lord of Celestial God Pce, manipting both of them. Now, she had to face them again under entirely different circumstances.


    As for Leslie, Fer didn''t care much. In her eyes, no other woman was worth her attention.


    ...


    Led by Candice through the mansion''s halls, they finally reached the grand hall.


    Before Candice could announce their arrival, Madelyn dashed forward and threw herself into Owen''s arms, inhaling his scent as if drawing strength from it.


    "Brother, you''re finally here!" she eximed, clinging to him like a child seekingfort.


    Owen held her gently, his expression softening. He knew how much pressure she had been under, especially when standing beside Leslie.


    Both Fer and the Lord of Celestial God Pce watched in stunned silence.


    "Death''s Cmity..."


    Even from a distance, they could sense the overwhelming power radiating from Madelyn''s bloodline. It was a rare and formidable presence, even in the Pure Land, where prodigies were


    commonce.


    Madelyn, however, was less than thrilled to see them staring. Her sharp gaze, filled with


    hostility and vignce, met theirs.


    "You''re just a little girl," Fer teased. "Why such a big attitude?"


    Madelyn snorted, her voice defiant. "I know who you are, Fer. You''re the saint of the


    Howling Mountains-a bad woman who wants to steal my brother!"


    "A bad woman?" Fer chuckled, covering her mouth. "No, no. If anything, I''m your


    brother''s ex. You can call me his ex-girlfriend."


    Hearing Fer''s teasing, Madelyn''s eyes burned with icy fury.


    "Let me give you one more chance," Madelyn said coldly. "What is your rtionship with my


    brother?"


    Fer smiled mischievously. "Pay attention now. I''m your brother''s for-"


    Before she could finish, a bone-chilling aura enveloped the room. The air around Fer


    froze, her blood felt like it turned to ice, and her entire body shivered uncontrobly.


    The sheer terror of that presence left her trembling.


    Whoever it was, they could annihte her in an instant.


    Leslie''s calm voice broke the silence: "Why don''t you finish your sentence?"


    Realizing her peril, Fer mped her mouth shut, her previous bravado extinguished.


    Madelyn smirked triumphantly. "Careful who you mess with."


    Owen sighed, gently patting Madelyn on the head. "Enough of that. Let''s go."


    As they moved deeper into the hall, a figure stood with her hands behind her back, exuding a


    serene yetmanding presence.


    She seemed like a towering mountain, calming even the most restless hearts.


    When she turned to face Owen, her cold eyes softened, and a faint smile brightened her face,


    illuminating the hall.


    "I''m back," Owen said, stepping closer.


    Leslie''s smile deepened, her demeanor warm yet understated.


    Their interaction was simple, but it carried a profound sense of intimacy.


    Their rtionship wasn''t shy or dramatic but felt like a gentle spring rain-subtle and


    nourishing.


    "Did anything happen while you were away?" Leslie asked, her voice tinged with concern. Owen smiled, shaking his head. "Nothing. What could possibly happen to me?"
