Leuko rejoiced, “I’m back to life too! You’re amazing, Chosen One!”
James looked at them and explained, “I'll cut to the chase. From now on, you two are to remain in Great Historial Land, taking command of the three holy temples. Your focus will be on fusing powers and appraising energies. Given that you’re both born from essence and have undergone the cycle of life and death, you should understand your duties well.”
Stephen opened his mouth, attempting to reply to James. However, before he could get a word out, Leuko had rushed to his side and affectionately linked arms with him.
Leuko vowed, “Don’t worry, Master! We’ll live up to your expectations.”
Stephen struggled from Leuko’s grasp and said, “Master? I’m his disciple, so why are you calling him master too?”
Leuko retorted, “Isn’t your master also mine? We’re already a couple and even died together once. Are you trying to back out now?”
Caught off guard by her words, Stephen turned to James with a pleading expression. “Master, look at her. I don’t…”
“Don’t what?” James laughed, “If you ask me what love is, I’d say it’s a promise to die alongside each other. She already died once for you. Isn’t that enough testament to her feelings toward you?”
Stephen looked at Leuko helplessly, then mumbled, “Since Master already acknowledged her, I suppose I have to as well.”
Leuko’s face immediately lit up, and she bounced excitedly.
Stephen quickly pointed at Leuko and added, “But you must promise not to bully me. Master has taught me a true man should never harm his wife. However, if you force me, I…”
“What will you do?” James interrupted him.
Stephen immediately swallowed his words after meeting James’ glare. His voice dropped to a mutter, “I…I’ll tell Master.”
Leuko and Lesia chuckled, and even James could not help but smile.
James thought to himself, ‘This guy just doesn’t grow up.’
Lesia suddenly asked, “How about forging golden bodies for them?”
James shook his head and said, “No. They’ve been resurrected from death. I want them to walk their journey and cast their own golden bodies. It would be more meaningful since they would be getting another chance at life.”
Lesia nodded, refraining from making further comments.
Afterward, James gave Stephen and Leuko some instructions. Then, he proceeded to leave the Forbidden Bloodshade with Lesia.
Before leaving, James glanced at his children a few more times. The two troublemakers were born as Hongrome Children and could easily travel around the Great Historial Land. They did all sorts of things and were having a blast.
James smiled as he watched them. Then, he said sentimentally, “Perhaps when we next meet, you two will surprise me.”
After speaking, James instantly transformed into a crimson light and left the Great Historial Land.
