Chapter 122: Sebastian Appears
“Luan, welcome!” When Luan got out of the car, Amanda, Ingrid’s mother, came out of the house and greeted him with a kind smile.
“Thanks for receiving me.” Luan tried to appear indifferent but ended up being embarrassed.
Amanda laughed gracefully and said, “Ara, ara. fufufu~ You don’t have to be shy. Ingrid has already told me everything. You two officially started dating, yes?”
“Yes, Mrs. Anjos.” Luan nodded and added, “I love your daughter very much, and I hope to continue with her for the rest of my life.”
While Ingrid was redder than a tomato, Amanda laughed happily. She looked at Luan with her bright eyes and said, “Call me Amanda, or mother-in-law.”
“Mm.” Luan nodded.
“Hehe~ My daughter has good eyes. You are very handsome and polite.” Amanda ignored Ingrid’s embarrassed grumbles and said, “Okay, don’t wait here, let’s go to-“
Amanda’s words got stuck in her throat and Luan saw her blush for an instant; even though it was brief, he noticed it. And the moment he looked back, he saw someone unexpected there.
“Sebastian?” Luan saw him with a flower bouquet, getting out of the black Phantom Rolls-Royce he had driven them around in previously.
“Mr. Luan. It’s good to see you again…” Sebastian, despite speaking amiably, it was noticeable for his tone of voice that he was very uncomfortable.
Luan looked at Ingrid, and seeing her nod, he soon realized what was happening.
“Mm, good to see you.” Luan nodded his head.
“Likewise…” Sebastian looked out of place, not sure what to do. He had wanted to come to ask Amanda out, but he didn’t expect Luan and Ingrid to be here. However, he clenched his teeth and said, “Err. Miss Amanda, can we talk?”
“Luan, let’s go in; there’s something I want to talk to you about.” Ingrid said, which made her mother blush adorably.
Luan nodded. “Yes.”
When the two entered the house, only Amanda stayed outside and went over to talk to Sebastian.
“Did you already know that they had been seeing each other?” Luan asked as soon as they entered the house.
“Yes, my mom told me yesterday.” Ingrid smiled softly. “She said she found Sebastian, and it turned out that they had begun to meet. But it is still in the early stages. It looks like he just broke up, and they are taking it easy. Hehe, I haven’t seen my mother so happy in a long time. I hope everything works out. I also see Sebastian positively.”
“Mm, if the two of them are together,” Luan said, “I can teach him some body techniques.”
“Oh, that would be cool!” Ingrid put her hands together and smiled at the idea. She added seriously, “I very much wish Mom to be happy. She suffered a lot to take care of Monica and me alone. She deserves a man who treats her well.”
“Girl, what weird thing are you talking about?” Amanda came into the house with a red face. She slapped Ingrid lightly on the head and said, “Who says I’m not happy? Although… Well, I’m very happy now, and I’m taking it slow with Sebastian… Besides, he just got out of a divorce; he also wants to take it slow. He just came to ask me out to dinner tonight.”
“Hehe. Mom, you must be more sincere. I see your eyes shine when you say his name.” Ingrid smiled. “Tell me the truth, was it love at first sight?”
“What… Wha- Love at first sight?” Amanda went out into the kitchen, wanting to find a vase for the flowers. “Ingrid, your boyfriend is here. Shouldn’t you be more concerned with your own love relationship?”
“Of course.” Ingrid went to the kitchen and helped her mother find a vase and said, “I’m worried about you. Can’t I care?”
“Of course you can, but you don’t have to rush things.” Amanda sighed and took the blue glass vase. “I haven’t dated for a long time, so I want to go slow.”
“Okay, mom, I won’t bother you anymore,” Ingrid said with a smile.
“Luan, come, sit down. I just bought bread at the bakery; let’s go make breakfast.” Amanda, who saw Luan in silence, just watching them, invited him to sit down.
“Okay, thanks for the hospitality,” Luan said.
“Luan, can I ask you a question?” Amanda pulled up a chair and sat across from Luan.
Luan nodded, “Yes.”
“Is my daughter bothering you? Is everything okay with her at work?” Amanda asked as she stared at Luan.
“Your daughter is incredible,” Luan said with a passionate look, which did not match his usual one. “Even without explaining a lot, she did an amazing job, and she doesn’t bother me at all. She helps me a lot, and my mother and sisters love her.”
“Hehe~ I see. I’m happy to hear that.” Even though she herself was not being praised, seeing Luan speak with such passion for her daughter, Amanda felt embarrassed and laughed awkwardly, but she was genuinely happy.
Ingrid felt as if a direct hit had struck her heart. Her eyes shone deeply with affection, love, and care when she looked in the direction of Luan. She didn’t expect Luan to say so much, so passionately in front of her mother. Now, she felt her heart beat so hard that she started to wonder if there was a drum beating inside her heart.
After breakfast, Luan and Ingrid said goodbye to Amanda.
“See you later, Amanda,” Luan said, “These pills are for you. Take this before training and it will help in the training process.”
“Thank you, Luan, and take good care of my daughter,” Amanda smiled.
“Yes, I will.” Luan nodded firmly, making Amanda smile even more.
“Mom, I’m leaving. I’ll be back again to visit you,” Ingrid said after a kiss on the cheek and a hug.
“Tsk, tsk, you’re already taking care of your boyfriend’s house…” Amanda said provocatively, which caused a lot of effects, since Ingrid turned so red, it could easily be mistaken for a tomato.
“I’m going, bye. Good luck on your date, Mom~” Ingrid said as she went to open the gate. Meanwhile, Luan took the car out of the garage.
When they left, Luan opened the door for Ingrid and she entered the passenger seat of his vehicle.
“Yesterday, Carol came to me for help,” Luan said suddenly after they arrived at the highway.
“Oh… What did she need help with, and did you help her?” Ingrid’s tone was a little loud, but she tried not to be too jealous.
“Not precisely,” Luan explained, “She had sex with my father and well, at the height of intercourse he hurt his penis, and now he wants to kill her, but, as you already know, he took the pill that brings him bad luck. Now that he has tried to kill someone, I don’t think it will be long before this is reflected back to him. So even though I haven’t helped, I’m helping her in some way.”
“… My God! She really had sex with your father?” That was what shocked Ingrid the most, and then she laughed without knowing why and added, “Don’t worry, I’m not angry or anything. I am not so irrational as to think that you are favoring her just because you liked her before.”
“Yes, the one I really love is you!” Luan turned a little and took her hand as he spoke.
Ingrid turned her face in shame and said, “Look ahead, it wouldn’t be cool if we had an accident.”
“Okay.” Luan laughed and continued to drive.
*
When they returned, the first thing that Luan and Ingrid did was change their clothes and go to the training room. Ingrid had already trained her body in the morning with her mother, so she meditated using the Qi technique.
Luan did the same.
Of course, as Luan created some pills and the training armor, they wore the armor over the training suit and took the pill before they started training. This increased the result.
Because Ingrid’s armor was made of crystal with blood essence, the amount of Qi she was receiving was plentiful. She felt ecstatic, almost feeling the same as being drunk, only she was getting drunk from Qi. Luckily she had a powerful Qi technique which helped her to cultivate the Qi of blood and Heaven and Earth much more easily.
It was also in that moment that she remembered Luan’s words, that when she felt the sensation that a glass wall had broken inside her, it meant that she had a breakthrough in cultivation. It was then that she realized she had arrived at Refining Qi – Level 5. The strength of her 30 Qi went straight to that of 35 ordinary men. It was a huge increase.
The Qi particles of Heaven and Earth went more towards Luan. He also managed to increase the power of his Qi, but did not even level up. His Qi strength increased to that of 39 ordinary men.
An interesting fact that brought cheer to Luan was that now he could turn his hands into dragon claws. If he used this, his attack power would be even more powerful. It was as if his arm was covered with white snakeskin, which honestly was quite handsome.
His claws, although handsome, were frighteningly sharp. He barely touched the floor with one of his new claws, and without any effort had ended up scratching the finish.
‘I need to reinforce the formation again…’ Luan murmured.
Later, when everyone had finished training, Luan reformed the formation in the training room. New spells were put in, and new functions were also added to improve the training room barrier.
Now, not only was it tougher than anywhere else in the house, but the abundance of Heaven and Earth Qi was growing more and more.
