494 Sherry

Alex instantly had closed-door cultivation the moment he came back. Because of the World Summit thing, Stina immediately met Ellen to discuss this.
"Do you want to go? You are technically the current queen and it might be good to come since I can announce your ascension in front of the other rulers. And if you can talk face to face with the other rulers, it will be a good experience for you." Stina said.
Ellen and the others were startled. They never thought Stina would come back and drop a bomb like this. She even threw the invitation to her like it was nothing.
Ellen looked down, pondering something. She had known about the World Summit, but it was only in the record. She never attended the real one. In fact, only a few rulers managed to see one and only Stina had attended twice, the Angel Race matter and the previous Supreme Matter. Alex's matter would be her third one.
After a few minutes, Ellen nodded her head. "Yes. I would love to. However, isn't this a bit dangerous, Mother?"
"Not really. From what I know, the Seraphim and Dragon King would support him. With the addition of our race, he already has the support of half this world's strength. According to my observation, Neptune would not join in the fray. Which only leaves us two potential enemies, Human Race and Elven Race." Stina shrugged.
"Yes. The Human Race feels betrayed because he never seeks their help or tells them anything about the crystal. However, seeing he already has the support of our race, they could not do anything.
"However, it would be different for the Elven Race. Their king is a 7-Star Tier 6 Elf. And their strength is beyond the Human Race. What I am afraid of is if they would join hands and attack us." Ellen sighed.
"Don't worry about them. It seems that he will finish the pills before we go. Our race's strength will be greatly increased. Fighting the Elven Race will be easy. As for the Human Race, they are not even worth consideration.
"As long as we are careful, we should be fine." Stina paused a bit before looking at the elders. "Elder Chiyo and Chiho will assemble a few spies and send them to the Human Race and Elven Race. Elder Thari will gather all the people who gathered the medicinal ingredients and record them.
"Beside Ellen, I will also ask three elders to be Ellen's guards. And there is another thing I need to announce… I have become Alexander Sirius's Contracted Beast, so basically, he is my master now."
"Mother (Your Majesty)?" They were shocked by this sudden revelation. They already knew about her following him because of Kyle, but they did not know that she would even become his Contracted Beast. Their strongest and oldest Phoenix became someone's Contracted Beast, it was already beyond their imagination.
"This is the sole reason I can break the world limit and become an 8-Star Tier 6 Phoenix." She said. However, she also learned she could still live longer as long as she kept getting stronger, extending the time she could have with Kyle. "Don't worry. Even without me, our Phoenix Race will still stand strong."
"I just want to ask all elders that have supported me for a few thousand years to also support my daughter, Ellen."
"Yes." All elders immediately kneeled on the ground.
"Anyway, we will go in six months, so just make some schedule at that time," Stina said as she turned around and left.
The elders looked at Ellen with a worried expression. They had a contradictory thought since they hoped Alex could get all the crystals, but they also wanted the queen to continue ruling upon their race.
Ellen also understood their worry and shook her help. "We have burdened my mother for too long. I think it is time for my mother to pursue her happiness. I might not be as good as my mother, but I hope all elders will help me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." They kneeled once again.
…
In Alex's courtyard, Alex and Anya had thought the same thing as Stina. As soon as they were back, they immediately dispatched all their spies to investigate the Elven Race and Human Race.
Alex then started cultivating after knowing Sherry was in a deep sleep for her evolution.
With his Rank 6 Gathering Array, it merely took him one month to become a 9-Star Martial King, a half month shorter than what he predicted.
Seeing Sherry had yet to wake up, he immediately asked Stina to get a 10-Star Martial King monster core for his Energy Pill.
The next day, the core arrived, making Alex wonder how easy it was to get a 10-Star core. Alex only shook his head and focused on the pill in front of him.
All the medicinal ingredients appeared in front of him together with his Rank 6 Alchemy Furnace.
He raised the furnace with his Spiritual Energy, warming it with his Pure Fire. After a minute, he waved his hand as ten ingredients rose from the ground together with the Monster Core.
At his level, he could make something like this easily. He tossed the ingredients inside, except the Monster Core, burning them with his Pure Fire.
Each ingredient would have a different treatment and temperature and Alex skillfully adjusted all of that. In one ingredient, he would use a low-temperature flame to melt it slowly and in the other, he just needed to blast them with a blazing flame and take their essence.
On the contrary, he looked at the Monster Core with a powerful strength inside. According to his Spirit Eyes, the monster was a kind of giant eagle.
He poured his flame to bait the eagle out. Surprisingly, the Eagle was very big, around a third of Qeigess's size.
Seeing this, Alex immediately shook his head as he let out his overbearing Pure Fire. "I have defeated a Rank 6 dragon that is bigger than you."
It only took him several clashes before he defeated it. There was also another thing that astonished him. It seemed that with his current Pure Fire, the refining process became shorter, specifically in the Impurity Process. He was happy with it though.
After a while, Alex finished his refinement, tossing all of his medicinal ingredients and monster core inside the furnace and slowly fusing them.
The sweet aroma started enveloping the room, telling the pill was almost ready. He gave another spark inside the flame before taking his fire back.
Without any rest, he opened the lid and took out a shiny green pill. This was a rank 5 Energy Pill.
He swallowed the pill without hesitation, trying to break through to 10-Star. The pill energy was intense and he boosted it with his Rank 6 Gathering Array, letting him advance in only five days.
"Fu." Alex let out a long breath.
After this, he would start consolidating his power, but before that, he needed to check up the other conditions first, including Anna's progress, so he came out of his room, walking toward Anya.
Surprisingly, the one he met first was a certain 12-13 years old girl with cute white fox ears and tail. Her long white hair complemented her cute face while the pink color on the tip of her hair, ears, and tail gave her a charming aura.
She was wearing a white butterfly hairpin on her back while wearing a white shirt and a black skirt that reached her knees, giving her a cheerful aura.
"Master-Wuu!" She leaped toward him and hugged him.
Alex recognized her even before she called him. After all, he had seen her image in the sins trial.
"Sherry, Congratulations." He patted her head and stroked her hair.
"This way, I can also become like the four elder sisters-wuu!" She smiled.
Alex made a weird expression as he said, "Ehm… Wait until you get a bit bigger, okay?"
"Bigger?" She tilted her head before looking down. "Oh, bigger!"
She even misunderstood his statement, making him sigh. Anya then appeared out of nowhere and said, "Fufu… How is it? She is cute, right? Did she make you fall into that path?"
"Ahaha…" Alex shook his head inwardly, thinking about how he could fall into that path. "By the way, how old are you, Sherry?"
"Hmm? I met Master seven and a half years ago and as long as I remember, I have roamed around for the same amount of time." She answered, trying to recall everything.
"Then, three more years." He patted her head.
"Three more years? What do you mean, Master?" She asked, confused.
"Fufu… This is not Earth, you know." Anya smirked.
Alex merely shook his head. "This is a matter of principle and I don't really have a taste for that." He just could not see her like that. And luckily, she did not wear a hakama.
(AN: Even if the world forgives you, WN's blacklist system won't!)
"Well, you are the one who chose. She will reach Martial Monarch within three years. The same as you." She said
"Yeah."
"Master, Is there something worrying you?" She looked at him with her big eyes.
"No. Anyway, it truly brings me happiness to see you like this." He smiled, patting her head again. "Well, I am thinking about bringing both of you to the World Summit. And not inside my body or inside the card."
"World Summit? I have heard about it from Stina, and are you sure about this?" Anya took a glance at Sherry. "I mean, there might be a few of them that have a weird taste."
"It's fine. I can recall you back to the card and hide Sherry. Since we are not going to meet them before I finish the trial, I could get the crystal and become an invincible existence first. So we are good.
"I also heard Stina asked Ellen not to support the motion of going to another world. If that happens, then we will be free after this, so it is fine." Alex nodded. "Besides, all of you are not like the flowers inside my garden that I would keep inside for myself."
Anya smiled and nodded. "If that is your decision, then I will follow you. I will wear a veil though, while Sherry… does not need it."
"Yeah." He nodded. "Anyway, how is everyone's condition?"
"They are fine. The Spirit Nest has started to disappear from everyone's memory. They are just awaiting your return before they resurface.
"Only the Joyful Union Sect has set their eyes on us while the other influences, including the Fire God Clan. We can build a base with your Extended World Array, so they would not find us later.
"As for their future fate… I will let you decide the fate of that R-18 sect. You can mark it with a police line or purge it." She shrugged. "As for Evelyn and Rose, Evelyn has reached 9-Star Martial Lord while Rose has become a 3-Star Martial Lord. Before you come back, I feel Evelyn would have reached Martial King and started her journey. As for Rose, because we are focusing on her foundation, she has a slower pace."
"Slower Pace? She has the same pace as me…" Alex said with a poker face.
"Yeah, but you need to get your Spirit Stones and train other things." She shrugged. "Well, it seems after getting Bow Mastery, she is increasing even faster than Evelyn. Anna wants to give her Lightning Gem, but it will be for later."
"What about her technique?"
"She is using three Earth Tier Bow Skills and two Heaven Tier Lightning Arts." Anya paused a bit, remembering about a certain matter. "She also has some suitors. One of them comes from our sect and one of them is the guy from the Northern Continent. She defeated both of them in a fight, so they can't do anything. The one from the Northern Continent asked his family but was defeated by Anna and the others. She wanted to exterminate that family but still waited for you to come back first."
