Chapter 167
Jonathan felt embarrassed.
Shit! This is so humiliating!
Laughing awkwardly, he looked at the gloomy sky and commented, “Haha. The weather is sowonderful today!”
Mabel gave him a disdainful look and stopped making fun of him before getting on the military vehicle.
“You should head back now. Don't forget that you're the groom today. Your bride is still waiting for you.Enjoy your wedding night.”
“You're saying that on purpose to infuriate me. Do you think Catherine and I will be able to spend alovely wedding night together?” he huffed.
Hearing that, she burst out laughing. “It depends on your ability. No matter what, she's still a woman.”
“No, I can't force myself on her. I'm not that kind of person,” he stated.
However, the woman in front of him remarked, “That's a good idea, actually. Besides, even if you forceyourself on her, you'll be protected by the law, and no one will condemn you morally. Still, I'm afraid thatyou won't be able to defeat her.”
Jonathan was enraged that Mabel was deliberately mocking him.
After some contemplation, he uttered, “By the way, the gun you gave me is fantastic, but there are no
more bullets. Why don't I go get some bullets with you?”
She was stunned for a moment. “That's right. I almost forgot about it. Return the gun to me.”
Immediately, he took a step back, looking as if he was protecting a treasure. “Why should I give it backto you?”
With a solemn expression, Mabel explained, “Firstly, you aren't in danger anymore. Secondly, you'll getreliant on guns easily if you have one, which is bad and will affect your cultivation progress.”
Initially, Jonathan was taken aback, but after some consideration, he concluded that what she said wasreasonable. Hence, he instantly took out the revolver and returned it to her.
Taking over the gun, she inquired, “Previously, you were resistant to joining Divine Realm because youhad no choice. Now that you aren't in danger anymore, do you still want to join them?”
“If I don't join Divine Realm, I won't be able to protect myself, let alone the Harrington family. I'vepromised Old Mr. Harrington that I would do it, so I will,” said Jonathan.
A gentle smile crept onto Mabel's face. “That's more like it.” After a pause, she continued, “I hope thatin the future, you can become a figure like the Emperor of Chanaea, protecting Chanaea andsuppressing evils.”
In response, he smiled bitterly. “This responsibility is too great. I can only try my best.”
“I have faith in you,” she stated with a grin.
“All right, it's getting late. I should go back now.”
“Wait.” Mabel stopped him.
Looking at her, he asked, “What's the matter?”
“Catherine is a pitiful girl with flaws. Don't hold any grudges against her. You may be able to tug at herheartstrings if you take better care of her,” she advised.
The next moment, Jonathan put on an earnest expression and stated, “Don't worry. No matter what,she's now my wife. I'm not going to abandon her.”
Nodding, Mabel started the car's engine.
“Wait!” he called out. Staring at the man confusedly, she questioned, “What's wrong?”
“This car of yours seems to be from the military zone. You took it by force?” he queried.
Rolling her eyes at him, she answered, “No one's stopping me even if I drive the military vehiclerecklessly. How fantastic is that? Do I need your permission to use it for a while?”
“You're abusing your power!” remarked Jonathan with contempt.
“Tsk!” Instead of replying to him, Mabel turned the steering wheel and sped off.
Jonathan turned around and entered the mansion after watching her leave.
The entire mansion had returned to normal. All the younger generations of the Harrington family hadreturned to their respective homes. Jonathan falt ambarrassad.
Shit! This is so humiliating!

“You'ra abusing your powar!” ramarkad Jonathan with contampt.
“Tsk!” Instaad of raplying to him, Mabal turnad tha staaring whaal and spad off.
Jonathan turnad around and antarad tha mansion aftar watching har laava.
Tha antira mansion had raturnad to normal. All tha youngar ganarations of tha Harrington family hadraturnad to thair raspactiva homas.
Yareth simply enjoyed the serenity.
Even though the mansion was full of wedding decorations, it seemed kind of deserted.
Jonathan did not think much about it and entered his and Catherine's bridal chamber.
The room was spacious with an en suite, a couch, and other amenities.
Its decoration was comparable to a luxurious presidential suite, and it also had a balcony.
A red carpet covered the floor, and the words “We Are Married” were pasted on the wall.
In the middle of the bedroom was a large circular bed with a soft red blanket.
Closing the door behind him, Jonathan turned on the light and saw his bride cultivating cross-legged onthe bed.
After a long day, he was exhausted. Besides, he did not want to disturb her, so he took his pajamasfrom the closet and headed to the bathroom to shower.
He immediately felt relaxed both physically and mentally after taking a hot shower.
Moments later, he put on his pajamas and exited the bathroom.
Casting a brief glance at Catherine, who was still cultivating on the bed, he wondered where he shouldsleep. Should I sleep on the couch? Well, it doesn't seem to be a question worth pondering.
At that thought, he walked toward the couch and prepared to sleep.
At this moment, Catherine opened her eyes and asked flatly, “What are you doing?”
The man was momentarily stunned, but he quickly answered, “Going to sleep.”
“Why aren't you sleeping on the bed?” she questioned.
His heart skipped a beat. “Can I sleep on the bed?”
The woman was puzzled by his question. “Why can't you? Shouldn't married couples sleep together?”
“Okay, I'll sleep on the bed,” said Jonathan, without saying anything further.
However, once he sat on the bed, she got out of it.
Startled, he asked, “What are you doing?”
As soon as she heard his question, she looked at him weirdly and replied, “Shower!”
Jonathan came to a realization and felt a little embarrassed at the same time. D*mn! I'm overthinking it!
Shortly after, Catherine entered the bathroom.
When he heard the sound of running water in there, he could envision her gorgeous figure.
Could it be that I can really have a wonderful wedding night tonight? Should I do it or not? I shouldn'tbe concerned about anything. She's my legal wife. Isn't it justified?
Thinking of that, he could not help feeling hopeful and excited.
Half an hour later, Catherine came out of the bathroom, dressed in conservative plaid pajamas.
Not even an inch of her bare skin was visible.
Her hair was damp, giving her an alluring, lovely, and adorable appearance.
In an instant, Jonathan's heart softened, and he almost wanted to embrace her tightly in his arms.
Catherine was the type of woman who made people want to give her the moon and the stars.
Next, she stood in front of the bed and was about to lie down to sleep.
“Uh...” began Jonathan.
Shifting her gaze to him, she inquired, “What's the matter?”
Before he could say anything, she continued as if she understood what he wanted, “I understand. Youwant to do it?” Nodding, she added, “We're husband and wife. It's my obligation to please you, but I
hope you can get it done faster.” With that said, she was about to take off her pajamas.
Smiling bitterly, he hurriedly stopped her. “I only wanted to say that your hair is still damp. Let me dry itfor you, and then you can go to sleep.”
His words caught the woman on the bed by surprise.
Getting out of bed, Jonathan went in search of the hairdryer before blow-drying her hair.
Catherine sat quietly like a little girl, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
At that moment, he felt a pang of sadness. She seemed like a blank sheet, lacking the ability to feelany emotions.
Just as Mabel had mentioned, she was a person with a disability.
Hence, he decided to be more considerate of his wife.
“Go to sleep,” Jonathan uttered softly after drying her hair.
Looking at him puzzledly, she asked, “You aren't doing it?”
He flashed her a wry smile and stated, “Let's only talk about it when you think of the deed as apleasure.”
Although he was an amorous man, there was no way he could get turned on if she were to lie there likea corpse.
Thus, he declined her on the spot.
Without saying anything more, Catherine lay down to sleep on the massive bed.
Jonathan went to get another blanket and slept beside her.
Both of them slept soundly that night.
The next morning, Yareth gave the two of them a monetary gift when they were having breakfasttogether.
“Jonathan, I've already submitted your name as my personal recommendation. You're now anexaminee for Divine Realm. Whether you can join Divine Realm or not is entirely dependent onyourself. You must work hard for it.”
“Yes, Grandpa!” responded Jonathan firmly.
A faint smile flitted across Yareth's face as he said, “This time, every examinee is recommended byprominent families from all over the country. There were a total of fifty-four people. In the end, DivineRealm will only accept four people, or even less. There's also a possibility that none of the examineeswill be accepted. This exam is exceptionally difficult, so both of you must mentally prepare yourself.”
Jonathan was shocked upon hearing that. Little did he know that the exam would be so difficult.
“Furthermore, those who can be recommended by prestigious families must also be outstandingpeople,” added Yareth.
Taking a deep breath, Jonathan promised, “Don't worry. I'll do my best and won't disappoint you.”
The old man burst out laughing and commented, “Even Sylvia died at your hands. Indeed, I'm not tooworried about you.”
Jonathan's lips curled into an awkward smile. “I just got lucky.”
Moments later, Yareth remarked, “However, your development is too slow. I'd have to beef up yourtraining these few days. Otherwise, the exam will be too challenging for you.”
Hearing that, Jonathan was bereft of speech.
“Luckily, we still have more than twenty days,” the elder added, smiling faintly.
After breakfast, Jonathan received a call from Amber.
“Jennifer and the others are returning to Horington soon. Let's have a meal together before they leave.Are you free?” she asked.
He remained silent for a moment. For some reason, he felt a tug at his heart.
Farewell came way too quickly.
However, it was true that Jennifer and Yasmin did not have to follow him all the time. It was unfair to
them.
“Yes, I'm free,” he replied instantly.
“That's great. Then, let's hang out tonight. After dinner, we can go to a karaoke bar. Are you going tobring your wife along?”
A bitter smile tugged on his lips as he enunciated, “No.”
How can I take Catherine with me? She doesn't know how to read the room. That will only embarrassme.
Amber, who was on the other end of the line, felt sorry for him. “Could it be that she dislikes us?”
Immediately, he denied, “No, the situation is a little bit different from what you imagined. Let's talk aboutit when we meet.”
“Okay!” she replied.
