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.
