My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

Chapter 417 - 387: From Now On, I’m in Charge of the Martial World

She was fast, but at the foot of the Kaelan Mountains, she ran into a wall made of snow.

Aurora Sinclair’s steps halted.

"Master..."

Her voice traveled straight to the summit, echoing powerfully.

But there was no response from the mountain.

"Master, I’m coming up..."

This time, a sigh finally drifted down from the peak. "It’s good that you’re back."

Joy finally filled Aurora Sinclair’s eyes. She said at once, "Master, I went to the Holy Mountain and obtained the Martial God’s inheritance..."

The moment she said this, a commotion seemed to erupt on the summit, and a figure descended from the peak.

Master Aerion looked as if he had just climbed out of a block of ice, his body still covered in glistening ice shards.

However, he was wearing the Snow Wolf King’s mask.

Aurora Sinclair seemed to press her lips together in displeasure.

"Has your body recovered?"

Aurora Sinclair nodded. "My meridians haven’t healed, but I can perform Martial Cultivation without them."

"Without meridians?" Master Aerion was stunned.

Aurora Sinclair briefly explained the truth she had discovered to Master Aerion.

Master Aerion stroked the beard on his chin and pondered for a moment. "If that’s the case, then anyone in the world could practice Martial Cultivation..."

Aurora Sinclair nodded again. "For the past three years, I’ve been comprehending the principles of the Power of Heaven and Earth, and I’ve achieved some initial success. The Power of Heaven and Earth is the Power of Nature in this world. The Power we cultivate is also one aspect of it. If I’m not mistaken, Power is actually a type of energy that represents Vitality. That’s why when Elias Lennox and Marshall Lowell used that Evil Skill to boost their strength, they also stole the Vitality of others..."

Then, Aurora Sinclair suddenly spread her fingers, palm facing down. A round snowball rose from the ground and slowly transformed into a snow dragon.

"What I’m using now isn’t Power, but one of the energies within the Power of Heaven and Earth. This energy is most abundant here, so I can use it easily. But if I go far from the snowy mountains, I find it very difficult to wield. Therefore, the Power of Heaven and Earth must be composed of various natural elements, like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth from the five phases..."

Master Aerion found this all a bit profound. "Let your master think about this..."

Aurora Sinclair said again, "Master, if you want to comprehend it, you can try to feel the energy between heaven and earth without using the Power in your meridians..."

"Without using the Power in my meridians? How?"

Aurora Sinclair thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand and tapped Master Aerion’s Energy Sea Acupoint. An unknown energy immediately sealed his Dantian.

"Now you can comprehend it, Master."

Master Aerion: "..."

’Why do I suddenly feel like I’m not quite qualified to be her master anymore?’

Aurora Sinclair’s return brought a new liveliness to Sunstone.

Flora Guthrie’s booming voice, in particular, finally rang out again. "You brat, where did you run off to? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

To Zack Sutton’s shock, his awesome, big-shot Chief was meekly letting this beautiful "auntie" lecture her.

Everyone else, however, looked completely used to it, some even wearing expressions of relief.

He cautiously sidled up to Beta Morgan and whispered, "Who is this fierce auntie?"

"The one person in this world who can chew out your Chief."

Before he could finish, Flora Guthrie’s booming voice aimed directly at them. "Who are you calling auntie? Do I look that old? You, get over here—"

"I..." Zack Sutton was dumbfounded. Seeing everyone looking at him with pity, his heart sank.

’She’s even scarier than the Chief. I’m a dead man...’

Aurora Sinclair and Alvin Morgan suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

’Finally, someone else to take the heat from Flora Guthrie’s wrath...’

But unexpectedly, Zack Sutton was clever enough to reply, "You don’t look old at all! It’s just your hair that makes you look older. Let me give you a new hairstyle, I guarantee it’ll make you look twenty years younger..."

"You know how to do hair?"

"I do! My family owns a hair salon. Perming, dyeing, washing, cutting, blow-drying—you name it, I can do it..."

As everyone watched with complicated expressions while a beaming Flora Guthrie, her mood completely turned around, let Zack Sutton do her hair, they all had a single thought: ’This kid’s got talent!’

After leaving Flora Guthrie, Aurora Sinclair headed straight for Quentin Stone’s courtyard.

"Master Stone, have you ever seen this pattern?"

Aurora Sinclair picked up a pen from the table and, from memory, drew the patterns and markings from the Holy Mountain Stele and the Sherwood Family Head Order on a piece of paper.

Quentin Stone studied it for a long time, feeling it looked somewhat familiar.

"Come with me..."

He led Aurora Sinclair to a room.

It seemed no one had entered it for a long time; the air inside was thick with the smell of dust and earth.

The room was large, a place for storing ancient texts. A dozen or so heavy bookcases crammed the space.

Quentin Stone weaved between the bookcases, picking and choosing through their contents for quite some time.

"Hm? Where was it? I remember putting it right around here..."
