Chapter 619
“Adam is better than you in every way,” Leah said with a snort, her voice sharp and unwavering.Those words struck Flynn like a slap to the face.As the young lord of the York family and one of the most dazzling rising stars among Cosmo Island’s younger generation, Flynn had never been spoken to like that—especially not by the woman he desired most. His expression stiffened, veins bulging slightly at his temples as humiliation and fury churned within him.Even so, he restrained himself from lashing out at Leah. Instead, his cold gaze shifted to Adam, dripping with contempt.“Hey, you,” Flynn sneered. “Why are you hiding behind a woman? Step forward if you’re a man.”Before Adam could respond, Flynn’s followers immediately seized the opportunity to curry favor.“Yeah! If you’re a real man, fight Young Master York!”“So this is Leah Sanders’ fiancé? What a joke!”“Look at him—if Miss Sanders wasn’t shielding him, he’d probably wet himself already!”Their mocking laughter echoed through

“I don’t know,” she said after a moment, then suddenly grinned, her eyes bright under the moonlight. “If you really need an answer, I guess I fell in love with you at first sight.”Adam chuckled softly, but his gaze remained serious. “But do you truly understand me as a person?” he pressed.Leah fell silent.The playful light in her eyes dimmed slightly as she lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her sleeve. After a long pause, she spoke honestly, “I… I looked into your background during the two years you were gone. I don’t know everything, but I know some things about you.” She lifted her eyes to meet his. “Including your short-lived marriage.”Adam’s pupils shrank.He hadn’t expected that. Few people knew about that chapter of his life, and fewer still dared to bring it up so openly. For a brief moment, memories surfaced—cold vows, broken promises, and a marriage that had ended before it truly began.Seeing his reaction, Leah hesitated, then asked softly b

“Adam, don’t underestimate Flynn,” Bruce said seriously, his brows knitted together. “He’s one of the rising stars of the younger generation on Cosmo Island. Many elders already see him as a future pillar of the York family.”Harvey nodded so hard his head nearly bobbed off. “Dad’s right. Flynn is terrifying. Among people his age, there’s basically no one who can stand up to him. Adam, you really need to be careful.”Leah nodded as well, her concern written plainly on her face. “Adam, please let my dad see you off tomorrow. Just in case.”Adam listened quietly, then asked calmly, “What cultivation level is Flynn York at now?”Bruce answered after a brief pause, “He’s on the verge of entering the Divine Realm. One step away.”At that, Adam smiled—a faint, dismissive curve of his lips that carried a hint of arrogance.“So he hasn’t entered the Divine Realm yet,” he said lightly. “Then why should I fear him?”Bruce was taken aback. “Adam… and what about you?”Adam straightened slightly.

Leah hesitated for a heartbeat—then, before Adam could react, she rose onto her tiptoes and pressed a light kiss against his cheek.It was soft and fleeting, but warm enough to make Adam stiffen slightly.Only after pulling away did Leah realize what she had just done.Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.She glanced around and froze—her parents and brother were all watching.Harvey was the first to recover. He burst out laughing and clapped his hands exaggeratedly.“Hey, Adam, that’s unfair! If you’re giving out gifts, I want one too!”Adam chuckled, shaking his head. “You really don’t know shame, do you?”Still, he reached into his storage pouch and handed Harvey a Nourishing Pill. “Here. Catch.”Harvey caught it with both hands, eyes lighting up. “Thanks, Adam!” Then, grinning mischievously, he leaned forward. “Since Leah gets a kiss, I should get one too, right?”Before he could get any closer, Adam shoved him away without mercy.“Get lost,” Adam snapped, half-laughing, half-anno
Chapter 615
The divine energy within Adam’s body grew denser and more refined, surging through his meridians like molten steel. Every breath he took felt heavier, more grounded, as if his very existence had been tempered by fire. His martial strength rose explosively, far beyond what it had been just hours ago.The effects of the Essence Nourishing Pills exceeded his expectations.After consuming only three pills, he successfully broke through and stabilized at the late-stage grandmaster realm. For ordinary cultivators, this would already be considered a shocking leap—something that might take years of seclusion and countless resources.But Adam had no intention of stopping there.Without hesitation, he refined and consumed two more pills, seamlessly cycling between cultivation and pill refinement. His control over divine energy was frighteningly precise, and the Eternal Rebirth Codex guided every surge, every compression, every refinement with ruthless efficiency.When the energy from the next p

An hour later, a thick, sweet fragrance slowly seeped out from the alchemy pot, filling the secret room with a rich, intoxicating aroma. The scent was warm and mellow, carrying a faint medicinal sweetness that lingered in the air.Adam inhaled deeply.Just that single breath made his spirit feel refreshed, as though fatigue and impurities were being washed away. Even before opening the pot, he could sense a subtle vibration within his body—his divine energy was reacting on its own.He waited patiently, eyes fixed on the alchemy pot, until the timing was perfect.Only then did he lift the lid.A surge of rich fragrance burst forth, flooding the room in an instant. The smell was not only pleasant—it was stimulating. Adam felt his divine energy stir violently, circulating faster without any conscious effort on his part.If merely smelling the pills could trigger such a reaction, one could only imagine how terrifying their effects would be once consumed.Adam reached into the alchemy pot
