After purchasing that geography book about the Wild Plains, the trio decided to take the rest of their time to lounge around in Tan village. 

Their rush to reach Azure Lightning City wasn't exactly huge. Though, the trio didn't entirely lower their guards. 

There was the possibility of that black robe man coming around for another kidnapping attempt. But at this point, the trio highly doubted it would happen.

Ever since leaving the Sword Sage Legacy cave, Cain had his Chaos Enhanced Sense passively spread out. For a few dozens of meters, he'll be able to perceive the slightest trace of power hostility.

And Cain had yet to detect anything from the black robe man. It was impossible that his Chaos Enhanced Sense couldn't perceive the black robe man, considering it did so several times already.

So their most logical conclusion was that the black robe man had already given up on trying to track them down. 

With this thought in mind, the trio calmly enjoyed their stay.

Eventually, after having a nice dinner in a decent quality restaurant, the trio found a nice Inn to stay in for the night. 

The money each of them had was more than enough. But Amber still paid out of common courtesy. She only felt like it was the most natural since Cain and even Kali, to a lesser degree, tremendously helped her out. 

Currently, the trio had quickly trailed the halls, reaching their rooms.

As they walked, Amber couldn't help but take multiple glances over at the sibling duo. Her mind was brimming with various thoughts. 

Just earlier, Kali said she wanted a single room for her and Cain, which both siblings looked absolutely comfortable doing.

They're siblings, yet they're this close? 

'Although, can't say I know for sure on a model sibling relationship. Still, they always seemed far closer than the average sibling and….haah~.  Damn. Why is the fact that I want to be in Kali's shoes is bothering me so much….'

Amber mused internally, her thoughts all in haywire. 

Sharing a room with Cain sounds extremely pleasant, but such a bold move was far too embarrassing for even someone like her!

Still, to just sit on these smoldering feelings didn't feel natural for Amber. She wanted to release it; she wanted to bravely confess! It was far too tiring to stay silent! 

But, an odd fear gripped her heart, causing her to hesitate.

Just so many things could go wrong, and Amber didn't know what she'd do if it all failed. Everything is just far too confusing. 

Suddenly, Amber was snapped out of her thoughts by Kali's curious voice.

"Hey, you. You know we're at our rooms already? You're staring pretty hard at us, you know?" Both Cain and Kali curiously stared over at her. 

Neither cared about playing ignorance, recognizing Amber's feelings by the sheer emotions filling her eyes.

Naturally, Cain couldn't let go of a prime teasing opportunity. And Kali, who usually wouldn't bother, decided to amuse herself. 

The sibling duo didn't tease with their words, instead spouting gradual knowing smiles.

This look just told Cain, and Kali knew precisely what Amber was thinking. 

Under this striking teasing gaze, Amber stiffened on the spot. These two really can be more annoying than usual! It was like neither had any shame and just took amusement in seeing her squirm. 

Of course, Amber didn't doubt these two knew what was precisely on her mind. 

A new feeling arises within Amber. The feeling of genuine indignation! A tiresome emotion that she couldn't suppress at this moment. 

"Huu….hmph. Crazy, shameless. Goodnight!" 

With a huff and a shockingly loud exclamation, Amber swirled in her room, nearly slamming the door behind her.

"Hoh?" This change was undoubtedly shocking to both Cain and Kali. 

They thought it over….that had to be the loudest Amber had ever gotten! To think she's also capable of showing such intense emotions.

But it was a good, no, it was a perfect sign for both Cain and Kali. 

Kali's knowing smile stayed as she shrugged, saying, "This will be perfect for tomorrow. Come on, brother, let's have our own little talk."

Without a moment to lose, Cain and Kali shuffled into their room. Upon entering, Cain swept a glance over the room, noting it had a homey design. 

Everything was crafted from gorgeous Qi materials, and the bare essential was there.

Cain didn't have a chance to gaze over the room for long. Not when Kali suddenly lounged on the bed and said, "Alright, let's get this out of the way. Most obviously, you should pursue Amber now. Her feelings are nearly boiling over after everything."

"I can see that, but…." Cain's expression contorted into puzzlement. 

His arrogant yet sweet sister, who he doubts would ever gain romantic feelings for anyone else, somehow can tell others romantical feelings apart.

She may not be dense but her picking up on this goes beyond than simple institution. 

"Have you been watching Amber's reaction all this time? Before, I did notice you casting that critical look over her numerous times." Cain pursued his questioning thoughts. 

"Ah, so you did notice it. Indeed I did. All for you, of course. You know, that rat who tried to enslave actually gave us such great opportunities." Kali admitted with a bright smile. 

Curling his brows, Cain briefly contemplated before answering. No doubt, he had developing feelings for Amber.

From the way she makes his heartbeat like a rapid sonic boom and how his mind sometimes gets thoughts filled about to the point where all other actions didn't matter, he would have to be a fool to not realize it.

This made Cain part happy and part confused. 

Gaining a genuine connection with a girl and eventually getting into a relationship is undoubtedly a fantastic feeling. He genuinely wanted to see Amber at her utmost happiness as well.

But at the same time, there was the fact that he and Amber live in actual different worlds. 

Three months later, he'll be returning home. Once back, he, of course, will be showing his Godly Martial Talent.

Once that happens, his status will inevitably arise, and a lot more responsibilities will be thrust upon him. 

When that happens, how much time can he truly invest in love with a Lower Realm girl?

Taking several steps back, would his Royal Dragon Family even accept a Lower Realm girl in their Family? There's also the fact of her Martial Talent being far lower in which she won't be able to keep up with his cultivation.

On paper, confessing feelings, getting into a developing relationship seemed great. But this could very well end terribly for both of them. 

Thinking of this, Cain began saying, "I don't know….I was swept by emotions before that I didn't think of the whole picture. You should also be aware tha-" 

"Royal Family, lack of Martial Talent and all that stuff, right?" 

Kali sharply interrupted Cain. Her eyes glowed as if she had been waiting for this exact moment for so long. 

Seeing the confusion in Cain's eyes, Kali's smile grew broader, and she said, "And this where the Dragon Union Arts come in. Not sure if you remember, but our Family is, oddly enough, a bit newer than other God Galaxies Realm. Grandmother off handly mentioned we came to in existence about….thousands or tens of thousands years ago? Not entirely sure. But compared to this, other God Galaxies Realm been around for hundreds of thousands of years. An old rumor circulates around claiming there are organizations over five hundred thousand years old!"

As Cain intently listened on, his eyebrows shot up. Isn't this number far too exaggerated?! 

Coming into this universe, he had some expectancy about extremely long lifespans. But hearing it from a direct source struck Cain's mind like a violent thunderstorm. 

In the future, it may very well be possible he'll have to face those ancient monsters because of some inevitable conflict.

And when that happens, the experiences they have would be a tremendous advantage. Hell, that black robe man had an immense advantage over them because he had lived for at least hundreds of years already.

Cain had great confidence, but he couldn't help chills creeping up his spine over this. Still, now wasn't the time to try and wrap his head around this. 

Thinking deeply about why Kali is specifically telling this now, Cain rapidly connected the dots.

"If I'm getting where you're going at, despite our far younger history, we're still considered Royalty from our prowess and prestigious bloodline. But coming to this point just from scratch in the God Galaxies would be harder than ascending to Heaven. So, our founding fathers must've had some great arcane ability that rapidly boosted them to the top. And it has something to do with dual cultivation, right?" Cain laid out his hypothesis. 

Such critical analysis slightly surprised Kali. She paused before nodding, saying, "Well, yea. You pretty much guessed it. Basically, our Dragon God Bloodline has a very special variant within it. If either a man mixes their Draconic Yang or a woman mixes their Draconic Yin to their partners, both partners' benefits would be outstanding. Our mixture of vital Yin and Yang energies can naturally absorb any other bloodlines vital Yin and Yang energies, thereby tremendously enhancing our own cultivation and bloodline while also practically transforming our partner's bloodline and cultivation to a Godly level."

"And our Ancestor made a self-created dual cultivation method that relies on absolute perfect harmony. The variation we have is the Dragon Union Arts. With this, you and Amber can create an unbreakable Dragon Link that directly connects your bloodline. She won't have this outstanding Martial Talent to our level, but her cultivation certainly won't fall behind."

Cain fell silent. This all sounded great, almost too heaven-defying! 

With this method, it didn't matter if it was a male or female Dragon; they could rapidly enhance their bloodline and overall cultivation without much effort.

But, with the good, there's always the bad, just like with Yin and Yang. 

"You know….if we have this kind of great method, I don't expect all of us to be so totally virtuous with it. And yet, our reputation is incredibly favorable?" Cain cautiously asked. "

Well….to get anywhere, no matter the society, isn't it inevitable that some underhanded methods are used. Grandmother wasn't ashamed in admitting our rise is undoubtedly harsh and cruel. There's no defending that. Plus, our founding Ancestors made sure no damaging news came out about us. But, over the years, our methods heavily mellowed out. And now, if we do use the Dragon Union Arts, it's the specific variant where it focuses on perfect Yin-Yang bloodline harmony."

Kali had a genuine solemn expression while explaining. Arrogant as she is, cruel and villainous methods simply weren't in her Martial Heart. Her very soul rejected such methods, far preferring to face things upfront.

In the end, all Kali wanted was absolute pride from her Family and absolute strength to have blood-boiling battles. She'll kill but only when it reaches an irrevisable point, like with the Liang Tribe.

And she'll steal from only valuable targets that are absolutely loaded. Even she has a bottom line that can never be crossed.

At the same time, Cain didn't think he was the one to judge about using brutal, cruel methods to rise to power. He knew and had killed in this universe for his own personal gain.

But just like Kali, Cain knows he won't become a menace where he'll use any insidious means for cultivation. He as well, his own bottom line. 

Still, learning more about his Family was undoubtedly shocking. But in the end, Cain could at least feel relieved that he has a method to successfully be with Amber. 

As of now, Cain only has one more question in mind.
