Chapter 2 Mana
- "If anyone were to have someone like her as their wife, there wouldn't be a need for prostitution, aye?" The obscene man expressed his thoughts and let out an emotional sigh.
- "Yes."Just as Neil Jordan replied, two police officers behind the woman said in unison, "Neil Jordan, your wife is here to bail you out, you may leave now!"
- Both Neil and the obscene man were shocked.
- How ironic.
- Neil Jordan was brought right out of the iron fence after the officers opened it up, and left with the woman.
- He followed behind his wife, and felt that the woman was extraordinarily cold.
- She didn't even set her eyes on him once.
- This got Neil thinking Is she really my wife?
- After paying the bail, they left the detention center.
- The two officer's discussion could be heard from behind.
- "This kid still goes to a bathing center after marrying such a charming wife? What is he thinking!"
- "Exactly!"
- "Y'all probably didn't know this, but this guy is actually a spineless live-in son-in-law!"
- "Live-in son-in-law?"
- "Yep! Did you know who that woman is? She is Quana Logan of the Logan family."
- The other two police officers came to a sudden realization after hearing the name.
- "It's the Logan family's live-in son-in-law that caused an uproar in Nicosa City half a year ago!"
- "The beauty and the beast."
- "I know right?"
- Though not too loud, the discussion still reached Neil's ears.
- Neil had lost his composure for a moment.
- With a few still missing, the puzzle pieces came together, and he had almost figured it all out.
- That he had leapt through time...
- And became a useless live-in son-in-law?
- And more importantly, a live-in son-in-law who was caught looking for a prostitute?
- I'll be damned...
- The once most charming, of unparalleled talent and looks, the Legendary Healer sought after by countless fairy maidens, to be turned into such a useless person!
- What have I done to deserve this!
- After lifting his eyes and peeking at the breathtakingly elegant woman in front, Neil felt slightly better.
- "Still, I'll have to admit that my wife here is a real stunner!"
- "I guess when life gives me lemons, I'll have to squeeze it out and chill!"
- "Regardless, I'll have to figure out what's going on now. Once I regain my cultivation, I'll just leave this miserable place as soon as possible."
- Taking a deep breath, Neil tried to absorb some mana from his surroundings.
- To his surprise, this world was too different from what he had in mind.
- The air was dry of mana, it only contained haze and murky oxygen.
- And he could not regain his cultivation like this!
- Neil was starting to lose it.
- "How can I cultivate if there's no mana!"
- "If I can't cultivate, I can't get back to my original world!"
- "What in the world can I do now?"
- While Neil was pondering, he felt a slight jolt of mana transferred to his body.
- This mana... is coming from my wife?
- "She actually has mana in her body?"
- "Holy moly!"
- Feeling the long-lost sensation of a mana flow, Neil almost screamed out loud in excitement.
- As Neil was exhilarated, Quana Logan had reached the door of a white Porsche Cayenne.
- "Hop on!"
- Her voice was ice cold, just like her personality.
- Neil sat in the passenger seat in response.
- Because he wanted to be closer to his wife to absorb more mana.
- Neil's past body had never sat in a passenger seat, but it's because Quana didn't let him sit there.
- Quana gave Neil a weird glare when he saw him in the passenger seat.
- But in the end,without a word, she turned around and got in the car.
- She started the car up, and started driving.
- Neil and Quana were like total strangers, neither words nor communication were there between them.
- Cars drove through the streets.
- Neil was there, feeling the slight scent of mana coming from Quana.
- For cultivators like Neil, mana was like fuel for the body, just like gasoline for cars.
