Nighttime.
Chris Shelby sat alone on the bed in his guest room, his eyes half-closed.
In front of him lay four Dragon Emblem remnants.
After a long time.
Chris Shelby slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"I've almost comprehended these four Dragon Emblem remnants. Now, I just need the other five remnants."
"Once I obtain the remaining five Dragon Emblem remnants, I can obtain a complete Dragon Emblem."
"By then, I will practice the complete version of the Dragon Script, and my strength will surely skyrocket."
It must be said that the Dragon Script left behind by the martial arts overlord Lord Dragon a millennium ago is truly extraordinary.
Even just practicing these incomplete Dragon Scripts, Chris Shelby could feel their immense power.
According to legend, if one practices the Dragon Script to the highest realm, it can even reach an immortal state.
But to Chris Shelby, all of this seemed like a fantasy.
How could a person be immortal?
Furthermore, in the past millennium, besides Lord Dragon, who else has practiced the Dragon Script to such mastery?
Even Lord Dragon himself disappeared a thousand years ago.
No one knows if Lord Dragon still exists.
But to Chris Shelby, Lord Dragon should have long left this world.
After all, no one can live for a thousand years!
Thinking about this, Chris Shelby couldn't help but think of his master, Archer Wintersong.
Speaking of which, Archer Wintersong also practiced the Dragon Script.
From what Chris Shelby knew, there should be a Dragon Emblem remnant hidden inside the Amerosia Palace.
With decades of practicing the Dragon Script, Chris Shelby's master's strength was unfathomable.
Many of Chris Shelby's understandings of the Dragon Script were taught by Archer Wintersong.
Otherwise, Chris Shelby wouldn't have become the Amerosia Primus in just five years!
Since comprehending these four Dragon Emblem remnants, Chris Shelby's progress has been slow.
Chris Shelby knew the reason was not his lack of martial talent but the absence of the other five Dragon Emblem remnants.
However, Chris Shelby also knew that patience was key. So, he didn't rush about obtaining the Dragon Emblem remnants.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
Suddenly, Chris Shelby got up and threw some punches.
Each punch produced a series of explosive sounds.
Chris Shelby's strength had indeed greatly improved compared to before.
After his workout.
Chris Shelby was drenched in sweat and felt uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, Chris Shelby decided to take a bath.
Soon, Chris Shelby arrived at the bathroom in the villa's hall.
At this late hour, other than himself, no one else would be bathing.
So Chris Shelby directly pushed open the bathroom's door.
After Chris Shelby pushed open the bathroom door, a figure clothed in white caught his eye.
In an instant, Chris Shelby was dumbfounded.
Inside the bathroom, Juliette was bathing.
After all, bathing without closing the door was also her fault, and she couldn't blame it all on Chris Shelby.
But she had never been peeped at by a man in her life.
Thankfully, it was Chris Shelby; otherwise, Juliette would have exploded.
"Hmph!"
Juliette huffed, saying, "Alright, I forgive you this time! But if there's a next time, I will definitely tell Esther!"
Chris Shelby breathed a sigh of relief, gratitude written all over his face, "Thank you, Juliette, I know you're the best to me!"
Although she stopped pursuing the matter, Juliette's heart still raced fast at the thought of being peeped at by Chris Shelby.
Although she was usually carefree and mischievous, she was, after all, a young lady.
Being peeped at by a man was embarrassing.
And this man happened to be Chris, whom she had always liked.
This feeling was indescribable.
Seeing Juliette's expression, Chris Shelby knew what she was thinking.
"Sigh."
Chris Shelby sighed softly, saying, "Juliette, I know you have feelings for me. But I'm already married, and I love my wife very much. We can never be together. Can you please stop clinging to me?"
Before Chris Shelby could finish, Juliette looked displeased, "Chris, I know what you want to say. But let me tell you, making me give up on you is impossible. You are my man, and sooner or later, I will make you my husband!"
After saying this, Juliette went upstairs in a huff.
Seeing Juliette leave, Chris Shelby looked helpless.
Juliette was great in many ways, but she was too stubborn.
He had told Juliette before that he was married and deeply loved his wife, thus he could never betray her.
But Juliette just wouldn't listen and kept clinging to him.
Chris Shelby hoped that Juliette was just young and naive, and would understand in the future that love between a man and a woman could not be forced.
