He gained a total of 7 stats points from these beast cores, making his yellow stats reach 15.
A smile bloomed on his face as Rio advanced in strength greatly within a day.
"We need to report back to the Castle" His moment of happiness and celebration was interrupted by a blonde-haired girl's stiff voice.
He turned around and saw her bringing out a [Teleport Glyph]. She was giving him a fierce glare to hurry.
Rio didn't waste more time and joined her hastily as he was worried she would yell in anger.
Helia activated the Portal as a space rift opened up in front of them from which they vanished.
***
They parted ways at the Teleporter Tower as Helia told him to give Emperor spirit's heart stone to Lia or Dylan so they can bind it with their blood to make conquered shelter's beasts under Devlin's Royal Family banner.
After it's done, she could send the Asura warriors to guard the yellow shelters he had claimed.
"I would only give them to Lia as these are my hard heart stones. It belongs to my Wife rather than that Emperor who fabricates some evil plans most of the time." Rio mused as he left the Teleporter Tower.
It was dark outside as the moon and stars
were spreading the light around the Castle.
"How far was the Blood-Sea Stronghold shelter that it's already night here?" Rio thought in amazement as he realized the castle was in a different Time zone than the new shelters he captured in the corrupted lands.
He was already nearing the Empress Villa and didn't find Lia outside in her personal garden.
The female guards didn't dare to stop him this time. Rio freely entered his happy 'Home' that he considered in his heart.
Lia was arranging a big cupboard in the room. She was wearing a white dress that was revealing her ravishing figure.
There were different clothes and suits for nobility in the first section while the ground level was arranged with two pairs of expensive shoes for the young couple.
When she heard the footsteps coming she turned around to find the eager eyes that became happier after meeting hers.
"Whoa...Who will wear all these clothes?" He said in an amazed tone as his vision welcomed things in the cupboard.
"Do you think I'll wear these?" Lia asked in a questioning voice and her face looked mad as he didn't understand for whom she bought all these clothes.
"Nah... But this isn't a bad idea. Especially if you only wear a shirt you will look spicy" He expressed his opinion shamelessly.
Her already mad face turned red like a cherry from thinking about his wild demands.
Rio walked in front of the cupboard and saw the different clothes she had brought.
He felt a hand touching his shoulder and saw Lia was looking at the tore clothes with a worried gaze.
"How did that happen?" Her worried voice was filled with the motherly love that he felt from his second mother earlier today.
Although she was his wife but he received the love of a big sister, a best friend, a mother, and a beautiful loving partner all from the same woman.
This made Lia truly and amazingly the best partner as she was all in one.
She was probably the most ideal wife a man can dream of which made Rio very fortunate for having her by his side.
"It's just got ripped during the fight against the Emperor Spirit. Ah... I forgot to give you this." He said in a hurried voice and took out one heart stone from both of his lower pockets.
Lia's face showed surprise seeing the heart stone.
She took them in her hands from Rio and asked him to be careful next time and not get injured before asking about his day.
He explained everything from going to the teleporter tower to absorbing the cores as well as making his yellow stats points up to 15.
After listening to him, Lia proceeded to bind the heart stone with her blood and told Yami to inform the Emperor about it.
Lia was quite happy to receive these heart stones as it felt like a husband giving his lovely wife his first salary.
"Come with me." She asked him to follow her as she moved towards the bathroom.
A flashy room with a large bathtub appeared in front of him. This was the place where he used to get his bathing session with medicinal herbs.
Lia filled the bathtub to the brim and beckoned Rio to go inside it.
Unlike before he didn't resist and started fabricating a mischievous plan in his mind.
She opened the two showerheads above with the moon-shaped switch which caused the water droplets to fall on his body.
He stared at her elegant face and saw her hands grabbing his shirt then she unbuttoned them one by one slowly and revealing his muscular body.
This wasn't the first time when she did it so he was waiting to see what she would do next.
After she removed his upper clothes, Lia took out a bottle and some droplets of white liquid fell in her palms as she rubbed both hands and proceeded to apply on his head.
Her delicate hands stroked his hair in a gentle manner and foam started falling on his bare shoulder.
"Am I Child to you?" He finally asked her after staying silent for so long and waiting for a moment to execute his evil plan.
"If you're not a child then what are you?" She replied as she kept moving her fingers and washed his hair unaware of his unknown thoughts.
Lia didn't get a reply as she was sitting on the ascended stairs of the bathtub and cleansing his hair.
A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist Lia saw the crimson-haired boy was gazing at her with a mischievous smile.
With a splash, she was dragged into the bathtub and her body was immersed in water.
Her clothes were sticking to her skin as she was soaked in the water, revealing her enticing figure.
The water droplets from the two showerheads made her fully drenched.
Rio grabbed her waist while sliding away the hair that was blocking her bewitching face.
