Half a year passed, and it was finally Theo's birthday again. Or almost, only one day before the young man turned seventeen. During this time, Theo had equipped all the girls with a heaven-grade manual. Even better, they were not mere lower-heaven grade anymore, but all were upgraded to the supreme heaven.
Overall, this expenditure cost him a hundred years, and the sect had 15 new manuals, all in the supreme-heaven grade. Not every girl could practice any heaven-grade manual; Theo had to tailor it for them, sometimes even tampering with a manual to help it fit better before handing it over to its recipient.
He had two visitors today, one of them even unexpected, while the other had come multiple times recently.
"Cammile, you can come in," Theo chose to start with the unexpected guest. They had some small interactions with each other, but never in depth, and never truly alone, as if the empress was afraid of being assaulted.
