The woman was dressed in the most simple of clothing, a white gown with no embroidery that stopped just above her ankles. Even at this angle from below, a mysterious power seemed to block one's vision any higher, the force the likes of which even Ryu's current eyes couldn't see through.
Her hair was a dashing purple color, but it was difficult to tell if the individual strands were physical or nothing more than a foggy mist, seemingly dancing between the two stands like a puff of cloud.
Her eyes were a much lighter shade of violet, a gorgeous contrast that left one completely entranced, while her skin reminded Ryu a lot of his own, almost icy to the appearance, nearly transparent and glistening, a pale sort of whiteness that didn't carry the usual deathly aura one might expect. And then there were feet, bare and spotless, dangling in the air like twogems. She was truly a perfect woman, but more importantly than that.
'Dao God.'
Ryu was absolutely certain. He had never seen a Dao God in person before, and he had most definitely never been able to truly distinguish the overall strength of Sky Gods, but this time he was still truly certain. There could be no other way to describe this perfection than to say that she had reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
But maybe even more importantly than that... 'She's a Dream Wraith.'
When Ryu thought to this point, his body relaxed and he watched on calmly as this perfect woman descended, landing by Mae and her mother. She moved so smoothly that it was hard to tell how she had moved at all, it didn't even seem like she was flying, but rather that she was gliding through the air.
Mae's mother, Gathana, seemed to realize that something was wrong before her daughter did. After all, she was a strong expert in her own right and she could feel just how unfathomable this perfect woman before her was. She tried to pull her daughter back with her, but a mysterious force halted her actions, causing her to step back on her own, missing Mae's hand.
Mae was frozen and unable to move as well, and she could only watch as a slender finger that shimmered like a polished gem lifted her chin.
This woman was quite tall. Mae was only a little over average for a woman at 57 or so, but this woman was just as tall as Selheira, standing at almost 6'3. Even so, it didn't dull her elegance in the slightest, and gave her a similar sort of exoticness as compared to Selheira, although far more refined and perfect.
"You are good and you have my Dream Wraith Clan's blood running through your veins. Accept me as your master."
It didn't seem to be a question, this woman was very clearly quite used to getting her way and had most likely never heard the word no. But in this sort of situation, it only seemed natural. Who wouldn't want to accept a Dao God as a master?
Mae was shocked and didn't quite know what to answer. She wanted to look back, but that mysterious force seemed to stop her from doing so. It was hard to tell if the woman was doing it on purpose or not, or if her aura was simply that magnetic.
At that moment, when she was feeling a bit helpless, Mae felt a strong hand slip into her own. The entire Dream Asura Clan felt frozen in place, unable to move and quaking in fear, but who else other than Ryu could appear at her side at this time..
She seemed to relax and that mysterious force weakened considerably. It was only then that it was clear that this perfect woman wasn't acting intentionally, but it was rather simply her natural aura that resulted in a situation resemble this one.
The perfect woman only now seemed to notice Ryu, and she was actually somewhat surprised. It wasn't because the likes of Ryu could sneak up on her, but because she truly hadn't been paying attention to anyone else. He had managed to walk to this point without her noticing at all.
Ryu felt inwardly amused, this might be a Dao God, but she reminded him a lot of a certain airheaded little woman.
Seeing Ryu smile so lightly and charmingly, the flawless woman was stunned again. She had never seen anyone smile so naturally before her before. It wasn't that she wasn't pleasant to be around, but rather that everyone put up a façade.
Those far weaker than her didn't dare to be disrespectful, while those on equal footing to her were always trying to impress her. It was hard to say if anyone other than her parents had ever been genuine to her, but they had also long since died.
"A Dao God wants to take you in as a disciple, why aren't you accepting?" Ryu asked Mae with a smile.
Mae was startled, her eyes widening. Obviously, she hadn't known the status of this woman.
"B... But, you uttered you would take me away." Mae said softly. It seemed that she still somewhat preferred to go with Ryu.
Ryu's smile brightened. "I did say that, but how could I bear to take you away from your parents now? I'm sure if you ask this perfect woman to take care of your family, she would without hesitation."
Mae's eyes illuminated as well, enthusiastically jumping into Ryu's arms. It was as though her greatest worries had vanished.
As a wife, if she had to choose, she had the duty to choose her husband. But how could she not want her family to get along? However, she hadn't wanted to power Ryu either. This made her happier than anything else could.
The woman was stunned once more. Why did it look more resemble Ryu was the one accepting a disciple and not her? Mae seemed to have completely forgotten about her? And when had she accepted? It was like Ryu's word was gospel to this young woman.
And "perfect woman"? Was that what he had just called her? It didn't feel appropriate at all, but it also didn't feel appropriate to become enraged because of it... What was happening here?
At that moment, in the far off distance, a man carrying a Fire Giant resemble it was a plaything slowly closed the distance, appearing above the Dream Asura fortified city as well...
