786 Juju's Tired Heart
A burst of power that Lawrend never had before flowed from the golden threads and spread out to the rest of his soul. His emotions calmed down and he felt serene. He was like a leaf floating above a pond.
He could sense Aleshia and the others’ heartbeats. It was faint, but he could also feel the life hidden beneath the red desert. There were many baby sandworms lurking.
“So this is what it feels like to become a Heaven Mage?” Lawrend muttered out loud with a smile on his face.
His planetary system flew down and entered his soul body. The process of becoming a Heaven Mage was smooth and easy this time.
He already had the requirements to become one. He had proven that his Will was firm by having his planetary system support life. The universe accepted it and gave him the power that divides a Heaven Mage and an Earth Mage.
It was the power that the Blumin Emperor strifed to achieve. Unfortunately, he died in Lawrend’s hand. If he actually killed Lawrend, he might’ve became a Heaven Mage then and there.
“Ahahahaha! After years and years of effort!” Lawrend shouted excitedly.
His soul flew down and merged back to his physical body. He took control, and he could feel that something was different compared to before.

‘Maybe I can still become a Heaven Mage with my physical body?’
The thought sounded crazy, but it was feasible. He might be able to isolate his physical body from the world with his Heaven Mage soul.
“Master?” Ella worriedly called out.
Lawrend’s eyes regained their focus, and he turned his head to face her. What he saw made him shocked.
“E-Ella?”
Lawrend stared at the young beauty in front of him. She had similar facial features to Aleshia, but they were enhanced several times.
“Hello, Master. Congratulations on becoming a Heaven Mage,” Ella replied and tilted her head to smile.
Lawrend was shocked beyond words. He opened his mouth but no words came out. He turned his head to Aleshia, and she nodded her head.
“Are you still sure about your decision?” Lawrend asked with a serious look on his face.
He was talking about her decision to become his maid and lover. She was still young back then, so he was very forgiving about that promise she had made in the past.
“Mm. A few more years, and I can finally prove it to you, Master,” Ella replied and giggled slightly.
Lawrend couldn’t help but slightly blush from her straightforwardness. He was impressed by her patience. She understood the crux of the problem and didn’t make it worse for him.
“Master, congratulations!” Elena shouted and jumped into his embrace.
She couldn’t hold it anymore. She wanted to run towards him since earlier, but his conversation with Ella stopped her.
Now that they were done, she took that chance and became the first one to hug the Heaven Mage Lawrend.
“Hey!”
Humility wasn’t willing to lose. She grabbed Lawrend’s leg and embraced it.
“Nyaa!”
“Nyan!”
“Fufufu, give me some space!”
“I’m the future First Wife!”
“Big Sister, we know you are, but give way for me.”
“My God, I’m satisfied basking in your presence.”
“Can I get a spot too?”
Juju watched all of them run to embrace Lawrend. His children smiled wryly and glanced at each other awkwardly. She saw all of this and she sighed.
“Maybe, I’m not supposed to be here.”
Juju was tired. She had waited for so long and worried for so long. She realized that Lawrend might not be the person she was looking for.
The passion she felt when they first met had cooled down. She was able to think rationally and not feel emotional thinking about him.
Lawrend accepted the embrace of his maids and closed his eyes to feel their warmth. He missed their smell and the feeling of their flesh when he touched them.
Being between them felt like home.
Juju turned around and flew away. Her love for him had turned to dust. He might be a Heaven Demon now, but she didn’t care.
He was happy, had women, and had successful children. As for her, she was a lonely demon woman.
“Juju,” Lawrend called out.
He didn’t want her to leave. He still wanted to do more things with her and learn more about her.
“What?”
Juju turned around with a frown on her face.
Lawrend’s maids realized that something was going on between the two. They moved back and let them have some space.
“Aren’t you going to congratulate me?” Lawrend asked.
“Congratulations.”
After saying those words, Juju turned around and left.
“Wait!” Lawrend flew over to her.
She turned around again, but this time, she had a softed expression.
“Do you want me to hug you too?” Juju asked snarkily.
“Yes.”
Lawrend nodded his head with a cheeky smile on his face.
Juju furrowed her eyebrows before reluctantly opening her arms.
Lawrend gently flew in between them and embraced her. He held her petite body tightly. She was warm and smelled faintly floral.
Her heartbeat was fast and she took a few seconds before hugging him tightly.
She rested her head on his shoulder and didn’t say anything. Lawrend rubbed her back and was silent as well.
The two of them were in their own world.
Aleshia and the others watched on with interested gazes on their faces. They knew something was going on with Juju and Lawrend.
The proof was right before their eyes. Lawrend and Juju obviously had a thing for each other.
“Is this goodbye?” Juju asked.
“No. I want you to stay. You never had the chance to learn more about me,” Lawrend replied.
He pulled his head back and looked at her. Their two eyes gazed at each other. They were intense enough to cause Lawrend’s children to blush.
“I waited too long… You made me wait too long…”
