Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

She could feel her progress, but she could also feel that she was still a little way off from the next test.

In the past, she had no way to help Rocks, so she could only stand behind him.

But now... after going through adventures and trials, she is no longer the powerless her.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, as long as he passes the test she left for him and obtains this power, then he will be able to truly help Rocks, instead of just waiting at home and worrying about him like now.

"What a mess..." Doug sighed, but still took out his notebook and looked at it carefully, and kept revising the plan he had made later.

"Dad~ Don't be too angry. You also want to see the Severus family prosper in my hands. I'm not just doing this for Rocks, I'm also doing this for my dad's sake."

"After all, Dad has always hoped that a demigod would emerge from the family."

Doug shook his head. "I used to think that way. Or rather, if I had known you had this opportunity, I would have found a way to force you to work hard even if you didn't."

"But now..." He trailed off.

The things that Doug Severus cherishes most in his life are his family's honor and his family.

In the eyes of most people, and even in his own heart, the family's glory and interests are above everything else.

But he didn't know when it started, but the status of family and family members gradually reversed in his mind.

Family is not represented by so-called glory, fame and power; it is made up of family members.

Although the reversal of time did not leave Doug with any memory, the sense of déjà vu of some things and the ever-changing situation allowed Doug to find what he really wanted in his heart.

"What's wrong now?" Teresa asked with a smile.

Doug took out his kettle and drank from it in big gulps. Then he looked at Theresa with a scrutinizing gaze. "Now you belong to that bastard Rocks. You might even have to change your last name to Rocks in the future. I don't want to be an enemy."

"How could that be? Rocks is not very interested in this kind of thing." Theresa said with a smile.

"But once that guy is interested, you will definitely listen to him and quickly change your name to Theresa Rocks." Doug said dissatisfiedly, glancing at Theresa.

Theresa wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she said playfully, "Although this kind of thing did happen, you can't blame me entirely. This is all due to my father's teachings."

Doug felt a slight toothache and pointed at the black stone. "Rest well, now you can continue."

"Pray that brat won't show up before me, or I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

Theresa slowly stood on the black stone again, "Dad, give up this idea. You can't beat Rocks now."

Doug's face darkened even further.

At the same time, behind them, Charles and Sif looked at each other and swallowed.

"Rocks...I feel like today's a bad time to be here."

Whether it was Doug's increasingly bad mood or Theresa's performance just now, Sif was a little afraid to face them.

Ciel stroked her hair and shook his head, "I'm a little scared too, but today is the right time."

"Many things cannot be avoided forever."

Looking at Doug's current performance, he didn't know much about his own affairs. Theresa probably didn't even tell her in detail about Peroz and Mernade.

If he explained it in detail, Charles felt that he would be hunted down.

But...you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.

There are always many things to face.

While thinking this, Ciel encouraged himself.

"Rocks...if you are really so open-minded, you wouldn't keep wandering here and not move on." Sif rolled her eyes at Charles in annoyance.

If Charles was really prepared, he would have walked over directly when Theresa was resting just now, instead of squatting behind the tree with himself and eavesdropping.

"I just don't want to disturb Theresa's training." Charles glanced at Doug who was standing there smoking fiercely, turned around and said to Sif seriously.

Who is he?

The high priest of the Church of the Earth, a legendary figure who left countless legends in this world.

At the same time, he is also the strongest person of this era.

For him, there is no one who can fight in this era.

Would he be afraid of this uncle who looks a bit bad-tempered?

Not even a demigod... He's not afraid!

Charles tried hard to encourage himself, but...

Well, he admitted that he was really a little scared.

A father-in-law is a natural jinx to his son-in-law.

In this kind of restraint and strength have nothing to do with it.

If Charles was a loyal man and could devote himself wholeheartedly to Theresa, he would not be afraid.

If Charles's attitude towards Theresa was just a playful one without any real feelings, he wouldn't be afraid.

but...

Who made Charles really fall in love with each other, and fall in love with someone else at the same time...

Now he appears here with Sif.

For some reason, Ciel felt that his actions felt provocative and a bit stupid.

Do you want to... go another day?

Rarely, Charles began to have second thoughts.

Originally, Sif was very nervous, even a little scared, but seeing the originally confident Charles panicking, she couldn't help laughing.

"If you are really scared, I can go first~" Sif vaguely felt that her mentality had calmed down a lot.

"Uncle Doug is not an unreasonable man. He also has many wives and concubines. The worst that can happen is that we will all get yelled at together."

"With Theresa's help, even though it might be a little embarrassing, it's absolutely okay."

Looking at Sif who suddenly became optimistic, Charles was speechless.

This kind of thing is not that simple.

As a man, having many female companions in this era is nothing, and sometimes you may even be proud of it.

But if he lets his daughter marry a man with many wives, he will definitely be very angry, and this anger level is proportional to his feelings for his daughter.

"You still don't understand men..." Charles sighed.

"Anyway... next time Theresa wakes up, I'll go there with you."

"If you don't dare, I can hold your hand and give you some courage." Sif said with a smile.

"Let's not do that. This will easily make Mr. Doug's anger level soar." If they don't hold hands, there's still a chance to talk. Holding hands shows too much intimacy. Charles feels that he won't even have a chance to speak before being chased by the furious other party.

"But this~ makes me a little unhappy." Sif said with blinking eyes.

Charles felt a little guilty and could only hold her hands gently.

"I lied to you. When the balance in my heart tipped towards you, I was already prepared."

"Compared to the trouble I expected, the current situation is much better."

Charles felt even more guilty.

"Maybe I was once a very powerful person, but since I've fallen in love with a fool like you, I can only follow the rules of your house."

"As the youngest concubine, it's normal to be criticized and bullied by the elders in the family." Sif said in a playful tone.

Chapter 397 Chapter 67 Sif: I'm not sick! I'm really not sick!

The place where Teresa is now, or the black stone where she is standing, is also a relatively rare item during the Age of Five Gods.

Fantasy Stone, Phantom Night Stone, World-Connecting Stone...it has many names.

In addition to being used to refine some rare potions, this stone is occasionally used to train low- and middle-level transcendents.

General fantasy stones are not rare, but the fantasy stone under Teresa's feet is a very rare type.

After all, the place where it appeared was the place where the gods fell. Even if the fallen god was only a demigod, after absorbing some of the power of the demigod that was compatible with the Fantasy Stone, the power contained in this Fantasy Stone far exceeded that of an ordinary Fantasy Stone.

Not only high-level transcendents, but even ordinary demigods will be affected a little bit.

This influence can be used to create realistic illusions to sharpen people's spirits, or it can open a path to the fantasy world.

For Teresa now, this Fantasy Stone can help her a lot.

Doug was able to find this stone and develop such a detailed exercise plan for her... To be honest, Charles was still a little surprised.

At the same time, he felt a little guilty. Although Charles had noticed Teresa's inner thoughts for such a long time, he did not take it seriously.

In his opinion, given the situation he was facing, it would be of no use even if she became a demigod or even a sub-god.

It would be better to just do what you like and enjoy the fun of life.

But Charles forgot how painful it was to be ignored. He knew that his lover was facing difficulties, but he was unable to share the burden with him. He was powerless and could only watch from behind.

Not long after, Teresa walked down from the Fantasy Stone again, her cheeks even paler.

At this moment, Charles grabbed Sif's hand and strode forward.

"You should have told me these things earlier." When she was about to say something to Doug, Charles came from behind them and said loudly.

"This voice...Rocks?" Theresa turned around with some surprise.

After confirming that the person behind her was indeed Charles, Theresa trotted to Charles's front and then threw herself into his arms like a young swallow.

Although it hadn't been long since the last incident in the astral realm, Theresa felt like she hadn't seen him for a long time.

"If you want to become stronger and control your power smoothly, you should tell me this." Charles gently stroked Theresa's back, and then said seriously.

Theresa looked a little embarrassed. "I feel... I shouldn't bother you with these things anymore. Rocks, you have more important things to do."

"This guy doesn't have anything important to do. He has been very idle recently, so he can be used to help you." Sif said with a smile.

Theresa, who was holding Charles, was stunned when she heard Sif's voice.

Come to think of it, when I turned around just now, I saw Ciel and Sif...

She turned her head a little embarrassedly and looked at Sif who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Ciel, "Leopold, you are here too."

"Although I know your character...but it would be a bit too much to just ignore me." Sif looked a little helpless.

"That's because... I haven't seen Rocks for a long, long time..." Theresa curved her eyebrows and showed a cute smile.

"If you want to see me, just call my name. Didn't I give you my contact information?" Charles let go of Theresa, gently pinched her cheek and said.

"I want to become stronger before seeing you. I want to give you a surprise." Teresa said naively.

"Surprise..." Charles slowly moved closer to Theresa's earlobe, "You know me. Compared to surprises like this, the surprise I want more is..."

Theresa's cheeks turned red. "Rocks...you just bully me."

"How can this be considered bullying?"

"This is love." Charles said seriously.

Teresa rolled her eyes at Charles and then asked, "Locks, what is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

"Maybe I missed you?" Charles said with a smile.

"I don't believe it... If you really missed me, Rocks, you wouldn't come with others... No, that's possible... but... why would you come with Leopold?" Theresa felt a little strange.

If Charles really "missed" her, then when he came to see her, it might make him happier to bring Peroz with him, or bring Leopold...

Theresa felt vaguely that she had guessed the truth, and her cheeks turned a little cold.

Seeing the change in her expression, Charles quickly cupped her cheeks with both hands, as if trying to warm her cold cheeks with the warmth of his palms.

Theresa, who originally wanted to be angry, looked at Charles's performance and ultimately did not get too angry.

Although this kind of thing was a bit uncomfortable, she was mentally prepared for it.

Sif...was one of the people she had in mind.

But this day came a little too quickly.

She had only been away from home for a few months, and their relationship had already crossed that line so quickly...
