Celeste Grant tilted her head slightly to look at him.

With his long hair draped casually over his shoulders, the man exuded a lazy, roguish charm.

The sight of his face brought an image to Celeste Grant’s mind: his large hand gripping her waist, his long hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her face flushed.

’Why am I thinking about this?’

Celeste Grant walked up and greeted him.

"Morning, Exalted One!"

Javier Sinclair glanced up at the sky. The sun was already high.

"It’s not morning anymore."

Watching the sunlight filter through the bamboo forest, she laughed. "You’re right, it isn’t. If we’d woken up any later, it would be noon."

The thought that she and he had been here for three days made Celeste Grant blush. She gave an embarrassed smile and said in a low voice, "You really can’t be careless with Elder Lowell’s wine. Even a Golden Core Stage cultivator like me couldn’t handle it."

Hearing this, Javier Sinclair said, "I warned you to drink less, but you wouldn’t listen."

"It was just a little! Who knew that even a small amount could make you lose your senses?"

He tilted his head up slightly, his gaze landing on her face.

A gentle breeze lifted her hair. The sight of her made Javier Sinclair subconsciously recall scenes of her holding him, calling him ’husband’, calling him ’brother’.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

He averted his gaze.

Celeste Grant stared at him, then smiled faintly.

She reached out, took his fingers, and leaned in close, teasing, "Archfiend... you’re blushing."

Her fingers touched his face.

"You’re so handsome... Just looking at you makes my heart flutter."

"Stop fooling around."

Javier Sinclair blushed.

’This woman is truly shameless.’

He didn’t say anything, but his hand tightened around hers.

With a gentle tug, he pulled her forward, and she tumbled into his arms, landing in his lap.

An arm tightened around her waist.

His voice was clear in her ear.

"The first thing you do after waking up is tease me..." He lowered his voice, a hint of a threat in his tone as he whispered by her ear. "Are you asking to continue?"

The threat was very effective.

Celeste Grant quickly pressed her hands against his chest. "No, no... I don’t want to, and you can’t either."

She patted his arm and said pointedly, "Old people need to take care of their bodies. You’re hundreds of years old; you need to know when to stop... We need to know when to stop."

’Pah! What am I even saying?!’

A chill ran down the back of her neck. She had a feeling her head was about to part ways with her body.

"Heh!"

Hearing her words, Javier Sinclair let out a cold laugh. His hand tightened on her waist as he said coolly, "It seems you have some misconceptions about me."

Javier Sinclair shot her a dangerous look.

Celeste Grant quickly waved her hands in surrender.

"No, no... My husband is young and full of vigor."

"Incredibly handsome."

"Powerful and commanding."

"Strong and healthy."

"And very... potent..."

Javier Sinclair patted her on the head. "You really dare to say anything, don’t you?"

Javier Sinclair held out his hand.

An ice-blue pearl flower appeared in his palm, adorned with two blue pearls.

Celeste Grant loved it at first sight. "This is beautiful! Did you make it?"

Javier Sinclair nodded slightly.

"Mmm... Your birthday present." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Celeste Grant could tell the pearl flower wasn’t just beautifully designed; it was also a Magic Treasure with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

"Then why didn’t you give it to me on my birthday?"

Javier Sinclair: "..."

He’d been proposing at the time and had gotten so nervous that he’d forgotten. He had originally planned to put it on for her after proposing, but he was only just now taking it out.

’Oh well, anytime is fine.’

"Why all the questions? Let me put it on for you."

As he spoke, he tucked the pearl flower into her hair.

Celeste Grant reached up to touch it, shook her head gently, and then smiled at him. "How is it? Does it look good?"

Javier Sinclair’s gaze swept across her face.

Her face was lively and charming, as radiant as a peach blossom.

’Of course my woman is beautiful,’ he thought. But what he said was, "Not bad... A fluttering moth has transformed into a butterfly. It’s somewhat worth looking at."

"You and your sharp tongue."

Celeste Grant glared at him.

"You’re so much better when you’re not talking. The moment you open your mouth, I get the urge to murder my own husband."

She pinched his neck and said through gritted teeth, "You’re the fluttering moth! You old moth!"

Seeing her fuming, Javier Sinclair started to laugh.

"An old moth?"

He broke into a laugh.

He actually looked quite pleased.

Celeste Grant rolled her eyes at him and huffed.

"Don’t be angry."

"I forged some Magic Treasures for you."

With a wave of his hand...

...an array of jewelry appeared in the air before Celeste Grant, shimmering with a brilliant light.

Sisters, with the kind of man who only talks about feelings but won’t spend a dime on you, you’ll end up digging for wild vegetables. Anyone with a clear head knows that for a woman, power and money are the supplements for a marriage—potent supplements, the kind that make you more beautiful the longer you live.

Staring at the treasures before her...

...even Celeste Grant was stunned for a moment.

"You refined all of these?"

Javier Sinclair hummed in affirmation.

"I happened to have some materials for refining Magic Treasures from before. They weren’t much use just sitting around, so I casually refined these. You can use them."

’Casually refined?’

She didn’t believe that for a second.

Just by looking at the exquisite craftsmanship, she could imagine how seriously he must have been hammering away in the Forging Chamber.

Come to think of it, besides being unable to perform Alchemy, Javier Sinclair had dabbled in everything else. His Cultivation wasn’t just high; his overall strength was immense. He could do Artifact Refining, set up Arrays, and even draw talismans. He was especially, incredibly strong in Arrays and Artifact Refining.

Aside from his status as the head of the Demonic Sects, there was no denying he was the top student of the Cultivation World.

He gestured with a raised hand.

"See if you like them."

Celeste Grant lightly caressed the jewelry, her gaze shifting to his face.

She smiled, her eyes twinkling like stars. "Like them? I absolutely love them. Now *this* is a marriage supplement. A potent one."

Who wouldn’t love a collection of top-grade treasures and high-level magic artifacts?

Javier Sinclair’s fingers gently stroked her cheek. "Put them away. You can wear them in rotation in the future."

As he spoke, Javier Sinclair reached out, and a pair of earrings materialized in his hand.

She recognized them at a glance—they were the two pink pearls from the Spirit Clam. She had said they would be beautiful as earrings, and to her surprise, he had remembered.

The finished product was indeed beautiful.

"These are those two pink pearls."

’Isn’t it a bit too extravagant to refine earrings into a Defense Treasure?’

Javier Sinclair: "My wife deserves the best."

Celeste Grant smiled, tilting her head as she leaned closer.

"Husband~ Put them on for me."

Javier Sinclair’s hand paused for a moment before he agreed.

He took the earrings and put them on for her.

His fingers gently brushed her ear.

"Not bad."

"Let me see."

Celeste Grant smiled, leaned in, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I love them!"

Of course, it wasn’t just about the items themselves, but the thought he had put into them for her. Such consideration from the Archfiend was a rare thing indeed.

Celeste Grant waved her hand, storing all the Magic Treasures away.

"Thank you, Husband~"

Celeste Grant hugged him and snuggled close.

Seeing her so happy, Javier Sinclair mentally awarded a merit to the subordinates who had given him the advice.

Javier Sinclair smiled.

"Not calling me the Archfiend anymore?"
