Villain: The Play of Destiny
chapter-220

Keith woke up late in the afternoon with a very light head and smiled when he found his bride fast asleep right next to him.

He stayed in bed, sitting up against the headrest, and then gently set the strands of her hair behind her ear, allowing him to look at her beautiful profile and appreciate it.

His mind inadvertently entered his mindscape where he found the System Interface, and he could see that he had a pending notification.

Note: Only the Skills that have Intermediate and above Levels are listed in the Skill Set.}

Keith carefully went through all his Skill-Set, and he was not bothered that he had yet not managed to advance in his Alchemy Skills to the Intermediate Level. It was only a matter of time before it would happen, and he was almost halfway into the Alchemy book he had bought from the System.

But now he had Skill-Upgrade Cards to spare, and though he planned on saving one for Alchemy, he did not have any planned use for the rest.

After thinking for a while, he decided to use one of the Skill-Upgrade Cards on the only Skill that was worth it.

"System, use a Silver Card on my Cooking proficiency."

{Initializing Host's request...}

{Ding! Congratulations to the Host on upgrading his Cooking proficiency from Intermediate to Expert Level.}

He was tempted to use the Skill-Upgrade Cards on his Painting and Calligraphy Skills, but he decided to not use the Cards on them just yet. Maybe in the future, if he does not get enough time to work on these skills, he would simply upgrade them. And it was the same for Singing. He knew that he was inherently talented in it, and the only reason why he was stuck at the Intermediate Level was that he had never given himself enough time to rehearse and work on it.

It was all good, after all, he had a lot of things he could now focus on in his spare time.

He had already raised all his Skills in Combat Mastery to, at least, the Expert Level. And it was enough for a long time to come. And now, he could leisure around.

Keith smiled and shook his head at the silly thought. These skills could not really be considered skills for leisure. He knew very well that Painting, Calligraphy, and Singing were not any low-ranked Skills, and in the hands of a dangerous man, they could prove to be very lethal. But it would be something he would have to consider after a long long time, because right now, even if he did improve on these Skills, he could not utilize them in any lethal manner.

Deciding to put his thoughts aside, he focused his eyes back on his bride and then asked the System to show him her information.

Thankfully, she now belonged to him, and he did not have to waste System Points for viewing her information.

[Subject: Qingyue Demiliore]

[Heroine of Destiny]

[Age: 22]

[Race: Human (Auror)]

[Status: President of Celine's Dream. Daughter-in-law of the Demiliore Family.]

[Cultivation Rank: Spirit Profound Realm (Middle Stage)]

[Special Physique: Myriad Poison Physique (Divine)]

[Cultivation Talent: Gold]

[Strength: 12]

[Constitution: 12]

[Speed & Reflexes: 11]

(10 is the average

limit for Cultivators in the Spirit Profound Realm)

[Charm: 95]

[Fate: 5,975 (Fluctuating)]

He indifferently looked at everything, knowing well that he would have to work on her to help her become stronger. Though she had managed to enter the Spirit Profound Realm, if her Special Physique was put aside, she was just an above-average Cultivator in terms of Strength, Constitution, Speed&Reflexes. And it was not something he was going to be pleased by or allow.

But he was pleased with how talented she was, and he knew that she could grow as strong as he could help her become, and he intended to make her someone the Gods would fear.

Time passed, and a while later, her eyes underneath the eyelids quivered before they fluttered open.

"Good Morning, Love."

Qingyue's heart skipped a beat when she saw the devilish smile on his ridiculously handsome face, and soon all the memories from last night came crashing down on her mind.

Keith chuckled at the scarlet blush adorning her face and then leaned in, capturing her lips in a light kiss.

"Come. I will help you wash." He said to her right before he picked her up, dropping the sheets behind them, and then took her inside the bathroom.

Qingyue expected him to jump on her again, but to her disappointment, he respectfully helped her wash.

And even if she was disappointed, she felt very warm in her heart at how gentle he was with her and how caring he was. And she just kept blushing as they helped each other bathe and then dress up.

"Close your eyes," Keith told her when she was dressed up and ready to leave the room to meet the family, and she obediently did as asked.

She smiled as she felt him capture her lips in a sweet kiss, and then excitedly waited to open her eyes when she felt him place a bracelet on her left wrist. And when she finally opened her eyes, she was enchanted by the dazzling diamonds on her wrist. She had never seen such transparent and beautiful white diamonds before. She had however seen the bracelets Keith had gifted to Amelia and Rebecca, and though she had never voiced it, she was a little envious about it. But not anymore.

"I love it!" She lunged into his embrace and pulled him into a deep kiss. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" He chuckled and playfully grabbed into her ass, clawing it, and reminded her of the swelling ache on her lower lips and in her insides.

Qingyue felt embarrassed again for how bold she had behaved last night, and then she quickly grabbed his hand and led him outside the room, fearing that he would declare another round of passion if they stayed alone there.

Suddenly, a faint growling sound entered his ears, and Keith disrespectfully burst out laughing, making his newly wedded wife burn in embarrassment.

She had not eaten anything in a long while, and after being ravished by him last night, she was famished.

Thankfully, when they entered the lounge where the ladies in the Castle were, Grandma Diana understandingly asked one of the maids to bring lunch for the two of them without them having to ask for it.

"You look more beautiful than ever, child. And I can see that you are very happy." Diana teasingly spoke after she made Qingyue sit next to her, and his bride shyly started chatting with her.

It was not long before all the ladies took interest in her bracelet and Keith wisely excused himself from the lounge when he saw everyone throwing glances at him, which he knew were asking him to get them something just as pretty.

Well, it was not anything that he did not want to do. But if he bought everyone the same thing, it would not remain as special as it was right now.

They needed to be patient as the life ahead of them would be filled with a lot of brilliance that they could not even imagine right now. And Keith cared about everyone who belonged to him, so he would keep finding them some very special gifts all their lives.
