Yale finally noticed that his fame wasn't something provoked by the words of his disciple.
After reaching the first city in a different country, everyone still knew that he was Master Liye.
Moreover, the whispers of the people seeing him were starting to annoy him.
"That is Master Liye, didn't you want to ask for his autograph? Go, don't lose the chance."
A girl spoke to another.
"I might have said that, but you were the one who said that you would turn him into your husband, aren't you going to declare yourself Master Liye's wife?"
The other one replied.
"No way, I don't need to be the main wife. With someone that powerful, even if I manage to become a concubine or a servant, I will have my life solved."
Although those two girls were speaking in a low voice, there was no way Yale couldn't hear them, and similar conversations happened everyone he went on the city.
Since Yale already had a wife, he didn't think about getting other girls. He was completely loyal to Lina even though they were on different universes.
Thus, having girls speaking like that about him didn't make him happy at all.
Moreover, he was treated as some kind of trophy. There wasn't any love in those words. They were just looking at the sheer profit they would obtain by being under the protection of someone strong.
Of course, although a lot of girls spoke like that when seeing Yale, no one dared to go and speak to him. After all, they knew that there was no way that a powerful expert would put his eyes on them just because they went to speak with him.
Powerful experts usually had strange personalities, and although some were completely lustful and would pick as many love partners as they wanted, most of them wouldn't give them anything in return.
On the other hand, others completely ignored any matters related to lust, and pestering them could easily provoke that the expert got angry.
However, no matter the expert, no one believed that they would fall easily for someone else with a direct approach. After all, with the difference in their levels, they didn't even have the qualifications to speak with each other unless Yale allowed them.
Most of them believed that Master Liye wasn't someone who wouldn't think of those under his protection because in the recording it was seen that the battle for his disciple's sake, but at the same time, he seemed to be the kind of person that didn't bother with lust matters.
Of course, besides girls wanting to be in a relationship with him, the number of people wanting to be his disciple was far higher, but that was less annoying for Yale.
Anyway, Yale ignored them all.
He wouldn't pick disciples randomly. He needed to feel that the person was worthy of being his disciple and those he heard making plans behind the scenes to try to provoke situations to interact with him weren't the kind of people he liked to take as disciples.
Yale preferred honest people than deep schemers that just wanted to obtain some profit from him.
After all, it wasn't a secret that the criminal had a method to train to ninth level immortal, so everyone guessed that Master Liye obtained it, and training methods were something that could trigger the greed of almost anyone who didn't have one.
Yale found the same in each city he visited, so after visiting five cities, he decided to avoid cities.
He mainly went to the cities because he wanted to let the wolves move freely since they were on Yale's arms while traveling, and Yale didn't dare to let them move too much due to their weak power compared to any wild beast outside.
However, at that moment, the wolves had improved their strength a bit, so Yale decided to stop going to the cities and let them train against other beasts.
Twenty years later, the wolves were still cubs, but Yale noticed that they had more personality than before.
Yale saw that the growth of beasts was far slower than that of humans. In fact, that was the reason why in the country of Jika and Dan, even a beat would be recognized in reached immortality before twenty. After all, they never saw one did it.
Beasts were slower on training, but most of them had innate gifts far superior to those of humans, so on the same level, a beast was almost always stronger.
After all, Jika and Dan could already control a bit of ice even though it could just cover their claws to strengthen them.
It would be unthinkable for any human of that universe to do that at such a low level.
The innate powers obtained by Jika and Dan were higher than other beasts thanks to Yale's Wolf God blood.
It wasn't normal that they could control ice while still being cubs. Although beasts could manage to control an element before reaching immortality, they were usually near to reach it and always adults.
If anyone saw a cub controlling ice, they would feel like if they were dreaming.
As for the personalities they developed, they were quite different.
Jika was always active and playful. It didn't matter if it was Yale or Dan, she would always jump to them and play until being tired.
On the other hand, Dan was calm and just followed whatever Jika wanted to do.
Their raw power was similar, but Jika seemed far more suited to battle with her personality since Dan usually didn't even bother to battle.
However, when Jika got reckless and was in danger, Dan's personality would change and would be extremely aggressive. In that state, he was far stronger than Jika, but he could only use that kind of power if it were to protect her.
Yale felt that it might have to be with their Soul Connection, and that probably Jika would be able to do the same if Dan was in danger, but Dan was usually too cautious when battling, so he had never been in such a dangerous situation.
Of course, with Yale there, they couldn't die no matter the danger, but he felt that they must battle without relying on him to grow powerful.
It was after those twenty years that both started to speak, although they weren't very fluent and only someone who could understand wolves like Yale would be able to listen to their words.
"Master."
Dan was the first who spoke, but when he called Yale by the name master, he didn't mean that Yale was his teacher, but his owner.
After all, he didn't have any memories, and his mind was still that of a beast just that his intelligence increased a little.
Yale had taken care of him for a lot of years, so he considered that Yale was his master, and he would be fully obedient no matter what Yale ordered him to do.
Of course, he would rather kill himself than harm Jika. He didn't know why, but he had felt extremely attached to her since his earliest memories and both of them always communicated their intentions with each other with just the intention of doing it.
"Master..."
Jika also called Yale like that, but she didn't seem to be comfortable calling Yale like that. Dan was more serious than her since she considered Yale more like a father than as a master, but since Dan used the word master, she also used it.
After all, she felt the same as Dan as far as she could remember, so she didn't want to make him feel bad by saying something different.
"Very well. You two finally learned to speak a bit."
Yale felt pleased that they finally spoke because that meant that they started to mature a bit. Their growth had been slow even for beast standards, but that as also because their bloodline was far stronger.
At that moment, both of them had lived more than in their previous life, but they were still cubs. Moreover, it wasn't like in Wyba's case that it was just that she liked that form. Jika and Dan were really cubs and needed more time to grow.
That night, Yale prepared a lot of meat for them to eat, so the cubs went to sleep quickly with their stomachs full, or that was what Yale thought because Jika walked towards him.
"Master... In private, can I call you father?"
Jika didn't want to give up, she didn't know why, but she felt like wanting a family.
The damage made by the betrayal of her family in their previous life was something that affected even her soul, so even without the memories, she still longed for a family.
Before Yale could reply, Jika continued.
"Dan can't. I want to have his cubs after growing, he can't be my brother."
Jika put all her effort to say such a long sentence.
She had already determined that Dan would be her partner for her whole life, so she wouldn't allow him to become her brother even though it was unfair for him.
Yale was a bit shocked by how much Jika managed to speak, but he could feel how serious she was.
Thinking about her previous life, Yale felt that it was normal that instinctually she wanted a family, and Yale was the only one that could fit that role for her.
"Alright, I will adopt you as my third daughter."
