Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

Chapter 305: Chapter 303: Would You Believe Me If I Said This Was a Misunderstanding?

The young girl kneeling before them was still speaking.

"You didn’t hold our past against me, Sister. You gave me a new life and taught me what it means to be human. Thank you."

Celeste Grant gave a dry laugh.

"Would you believe me if I said this was all a misunderstanding?"

The World’s Will wasn’t buying it. No matter what Celeste Grant said now, she would only believe her to be in the right. "I know you’re just saying that so I won’t feel burdened," she said. "You’re so kind and wonderful. It makes me feel even more ashamed of myself."

"No matter what you think, I belong to you now. I’ll do anything you ask of me, Sister. I’m very strong, so I can protect you from now on. If anyone tries to hurt you, they’ll have to get through me first. I’ll fight them to the death."

’I don’t even want to respond,’ thought Celeste. ’She’s insane, a lost cause. Is there a mental hospital around here? Someone take her away, quickly. Is this how the will of a book is supposed to think? Even after becoming human, she’s still not like a normal person.’

Celeste Grant: "..."

This was getting a little ridiculous.

At that thought, she couldn’t help but say, "You should probably stop calling me ’Sister.’ We’re not exactly close." ’We really aren’t. Our ’closeness’ was all about trying to kill each other. After all, Javier and I just spent half a month torturing her. Don’t tell me this is one of those "the more you torment me, the more I love you" situations? Yikes. Terrifying.’

A look of sorrow crossed the World’s Will’s face. "Sister... I know you still can’t forgive me," she said. "But I won’t give up."

!!!!

’This isn’t about forgiveness, this is just... illogical! How is this logical? The World’s Will is calling me Sister. I think even the sky falling wouldn’t be as shocking as this.’

"Your blood flows in my veins. From now on, you’re the person I’m closest to in this world."

’Good heavens, can she stop getting more ridiculous by the second? What does she mean, my blood flows in her veins?’

Wait!

"Are you talking about the blood catalyst?"

Seeing that Celeste was willing to speak to her, the World’s Will’s face lit up with joy. "It’s the Kirin Scroll from before. It had your blood on it, Sister. So after my body was reconstructed, my current body is made of flesh and blood. I’m my own unique self now."

As she said this, her face was filled with gratitude.

’Blood on the scroll? When did I leave that there?’

Celeste Grant recalled the day she was organizing the Bloodfiend Den’s treasury. When she went to move a chest, her hand was pricked by a treasure inside. Then, after seeing the scroll at the bottom of the chest, she’d picked it up, dusted it off, and casually tossed it into her storage space.

’That must’ve been when it got stained with my blood! So The World’s Will thought I was being kind to her and was touched. What a beautiful misunderstanding! Well, since it’s come to this, I certainly can’t tell her the truth now.’

At least for now, this seemed to be entirely to her advantage.

’The World’s Will really is a dangerous existence. If Javier Sinclair hadn’t happened to have a Curse Technique that could restrain her... This immortal and indestructible being is truly difficult to kill. And my own Primordial Spirit is bound to her.’

She raised her eyes and looked at the young girl staring at her with a fervent gaze.

’This... it’s really hard to imagine. This is the world-destroying World’s Will.’

Fine. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Given the current situation, it wasn’t too bad.

’I should just stabilize the situation for now. I’ll look for a way to break the bond later. If she has truly changed for the better, then fine. If not, I’ll just have to kill her.’

With that thought, Celeste Grant raised a hand and gestured. "Get up. I don’t plan on having another little sister, so you don’t need to call me ’Sister’ anymore. If you’re willing, you can join my Bloodfiend Den as a Guardian Elder."

’She used my Kirin Scroll, so she can go work for me. I, Celeste Grant, never make a losing deal. I have to recoup my losses somewhere.’

Having reasoned this out, she finally felt at ease.

The World’s Will touched her head and murmured, "Guardian Elder."

Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You’re not willing?"

"No, no... that’s not it." The World’s Will waved her hands frantically, looking at her happily while nodding repeatedly. "I am willing! Thank you, Mrs. Sheffield."

She rose, knelt on one knee, and placed a hand over her heart in a salute. "This subordinate greets The Exalted One and Mrs. Sheffield."

’Nice. She gets into character quickly.’

’As expected! Whether in mortal life or in Cultivation, you never know what’s going to happen next.’

Javier Sinclair shot her a disdainful glance. "Since Mrs. Sheffield is willing to take you in, you’d better behave yourself. If this Exalted One finds out your heart and your words don’t match, hmph!"

The World’s Will stood up and nodded repeatedly. "You can rest assured, The Exalted One. I will behave from now on and follow Mrs. Sheffield. I swear on the Heavenly Dao, if I ever do anything to harm Celeste Grant, may my body and soul be destroyed, and may I be reduced to nothing but ash."

Celeste Grant said, "That won’t be necessary."

As she spoke, she glanced at the young girl she had drawn from her imagination.

’My drawing skills really are pretty good. She looks like she walked right out of a painting.’

Her features were picturesque, charming, and lively. Her pink dress was like a peach blossom blooming in March.

’Damn it! How did I end up drawing this evil creature to be so beautiful?’

"With your current appearance, you definitely can’t be called Jocelyn Grant anymore."

"And I can’t keep calling you The World’s Will. That doesn’t sound like a person’s name."

Hearing this,

The World’s Will’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Celeste with an expectant expression.

"You were born from the will of a book, still illusory and ethereal." She glanced at her, then said irritably, "From now on, your name is Jane Thorne."

Javier Sinclair choked.

’So... what was the connection between all that and the name ’Jane Thorne’? It seems my wife still holds a grudge. You can tell just from the name she chose.’

The World’s Will: "Jane... Thorne?"

Celeste Grant looked at her.

"Don’t like it?"

The World’s Will gave a dry laugh.

’Even a random, overly-flowery name would be better than ’Jane Thorne’.’

’Can I be honest here? But then again... she personally gave me this name. When I think about it that way, suddenly even ’Jane Thorne’ sounds beautiful.’

"Not at all."

Celeste Grant waved her hand. "Forget it. That name is too much of an insult to a face like yours. It would be embarrassing for me if you went around with that name, too. Let’s go with Nina. That will be your name from now on. As for a surname... you were reborn using the Kirin Scroll. Kirin... Kaye... so your surname will be Kaye. From now on, you are Nina Kaye."

At that moment, The World’s Will was so moved she burst into tears, which streamed down her face.

"I... I don’t even know what to say. I have a name. I’ll never be just ’that thing’ again."

This was the first time she truly had her own name. The feeling was completely different. So this was what it felt like to be a unique individual.

Not only did she now have her own body, but she also had her own name.

She looked up at Celeste Grant.

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Mrs. Sheffield. I love it. From now on, I am Nina Kaye. This name will be with me forever."

At this, Nina Kaye smiled happily.

’So this is how wonderful the world can be.’

She must have been out of her mind before, wanting to destroy worlds. Compared to that unrealistic idea from the past, she now wanted to protect this world... and protect Mrs. Sheffield.
