BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 208
When he entered the Villa, he found his Mother and Sibyl playing tennis on the court, and he happily walked over to sit down on the bench and watch their game.
They were making it look easy, but he knew better than to reach such a conclusion. To control their strength and not destroy the equipment in their hands whilst they fought to score points harder than any Tennis player ever did in the history of the game was not easy in the least. And there was a pile of ruined tennis balls on the other side of the court that told him that their match had been going on for several hours now.
He clapped when his mother grabbed the third set from her opponent\'s jaws, which declared her the winner. She had won all three of the sets without losing a single game. And it seemed a pretty unfair match-up where his mother was clearly toying with her dear Shadow.
"You love bullying, Sibyl, don\'t you." He teased her, and his mother smirked at him.
"Why don\'t you pick up the racket then, my Sweet Son?"
"No thanks!" He chuckled, shaking his head, and then planted a kiss on her cheek as she sat next to him.
"He\'s gone?"
"Yes." He nodded to her.
"Did you have to do it yourself?"
"He was dangerous. So, yes. I could not risk losing my assets at his hands."
Venessa did not ask any more questions and then stood up, packing her racket in its case.
"What do you want for lunch?"
"Anything you make." He smiled at her, and his answer made her smile too.
"Okay." She leaned in and kissed him on his forehead before walking inside the house.
Keith stayed seated and then looked at the clouded sky over his head, seemingly lost in thoughts, but conversing with the System inside his mind.

"System, buy me all the skills I am lacking in combat Mastery, and then use the Mastery Upgrade Card."
[Intializing Host\'s request...]
[7208 Fate Points have been converted into 720,800 System Points...]
[745,500 System Points have been consumed to purchase...]
[Mastery Upgrade Card (Gold) used on Combat Mastery...]
[Ding! All skills in the Combat Mastery have been upgraded to Expert Level.]
Keith felt a flood of information crash onto his mind, and he felt a tingling sensation throughout his body as he assimilated all of the Skills in the Combat Mastery that had been upgraded to the Expert level.
Yingying curiously looked at her Master whose body had suddenly started trembling. Though there was a frown on his face, he did not seem to be in any discomfort, and she did not want to disturb him with whatever he was working on.
It took a while for Keith to open his eyes again, and there was a content smile on his face.
Even though he had only upgraded his Combat Mastery, his Weapon Mastery had improved as well and he gained the elementary skills and knowledge about all the weapons he was yet to see and learn.
[System Wallet: 80 System Points.]
[Fate: 666(Black) +2437(Rising Trend)]
He was not depressed after seeing the deduction in the Fate Value and System Points. He knew that it was worth it, and it was something that was going to prove useful to him for the rest of his life.
"Let\'s go." He pecked a kiss on his Shadow\'s cheek, who smiled at his affection, and then happily followed him inside the house.
They both changed into something lighter and when they entered the dining room, their lunch was already set.
"We are going on a road trip tomorrow," Venessa told him as she poured him some soup.
"Okay." He simply shrugged, agreeing to all her plans for the coming days.
Since he had promised to spend time with her and pay attention to only her, she got to decide wherever they travelled and stayed.
Venessa had carefully planned for their vacation in the last few days, and she was excitedly looking forward to it.
It had been several years since she had gone out on a vacation with her dear son, but now, he was her husband too, and this was bound to be the best time of her life.
Venessa happily chatted with him about Business, something they both took interest in, and told him how their Aerospace Company was progressing.
With the help of the City of Sin, and the information Keith had provided her, she had assembled the best possible team, and she was eyeing their first space mission by the end of next year.
"Yes, Keith?" She curiously asked when he pulled her inside their room after lunch.
"I have a present for you."
"Really?" A bright smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, but it is not anything materialistic." He said, piquing her interest.
Keith proceeded to guide her to the bed after taking off her clothes and then asked her to lie down.
Venessa did not ask him any questions, and she did not resist him when he put her to sleep.
[Host, before you proceed, buy a Realm Sealing Artefact from the shop. It is likely that after assimilating with the Bloodline and the Nine Yang Divine Physique, she will see a sharp rise in her strength. And she might be forcefully sent to another world after passing the Realm of Primal Desolation.]
"Oh..." He nodded his head and sighed, knowing well that it wouldn\'t come cheap. "Buy me the most suitable one from the shop."
[Initiating Host\'s request...]
[Ding! You have purchased a Realm Sealing Bracelet (Grade: Sky)]
[Host can put it on her, it has already been coded to not let the wearer transcend Primal Desolation and step into the next Realm. The wearer, however, can choose to lift the seal anytime they want.]
Keith smiled when he saw a beautiful bracelet made out of a strange black metal with a brilliant red gem inside it.
Though it cost him nearly 700 Fate Points, he did not mind it and immediately put it on her right wrist.
Next, he undressed and climbed into bed, lying right next to her.
"Begin." He commanded, and the System got to work.
Keith suddenly found himself inside his dreamworld, surrounded by the beauty of nature that would steal the life out of mortals at how breathtakingly stunning it was.
He clearly felt a source of Power flare up inside his heart, and then saw a Red and Golden droplet of blood, which had started oozing out that terrifying power, right before it disappeared from inside of him.
When his consciousness returned to the outside world, he found Venessa floating in the air, her brilliant red Aura engulfing her, flaring up in excitement.
He carefully observed the changes in her body, and there were not any drastic changes. Only her hair had lengthened a little, and she no longer had the charm of Mortals about her. She oozed out the presence of something far superior to anyone, and beautiful enough to even make the Nymphs and Fairies envy her.
As if on cue, Keith took out the mysterious orb of white flame from the System Inventory, and it floated on its own towards Venessa, disappearing right into her chest.
There were no changes for a few seconds but then her Aura burst out with even more flare, and the Realm Sealing Artefact shined before a spherical barrier surrounded her, containing her Aura and hiding her from the Divine Law of Space and Judgement, which would have immediately sent her to another world.
Keith\'s eyes widened in shock when he saw the stats of Venessa, and his heart palpitated in excitement.

He gently smiled as she floated down and caught her in his arms after her Aura returned inside her body. And then he hugged her to sleep with a content smile on his face.
