Chapter 65 Amber And Her Thoughts
Amber came to a sudden realization and, at the same time, felt ashamed that she had forgotten about
the matter altogether. Jonathan got injured because he protected me earlier. Then again, it’s his fault
for acting like he’s fine now! How did he manage to look unscathed? It’s like nothing ever happened to
him!
Amber was about to head downstairs to get the ingredients when Jonathan suddenly said, “Can you
help me buy a pair of underwear and some pajamas from the convenience store too?”
“Sure!” Amber nodded.
Following that, Jonathan took an enjoyably steaming-hot shower for the next half an hour. The hot
water splashed on his body, caressing all his muscles and relieving the tension he felt. Jonathan felt
comfortable. Although his exhaustion welled up, he made a mental note not to worry about things
now. I’ll be fit as a fiddle tomorrow as long as I get some proper rest.
It was then that Amber returned home. She placed the underwear and pajamas by the bathroom door
so that Jonathan could change into them later on. A mouth-watering aroma wafted into Jonathan’s
nose after he got dressed. He followed the smell and arrived before the dining table.
Amber had just set down a bowl of spaghetti there. Her hair was a mess after cooking.
There were even meat and eggs in the bowl of spaghetti. However, the eggs were somewhat charred.
As Jonathan sat down and picked up the fork, Amber’s cheeks burned bright red as she spoke up
embarrassedly. “Sorry, I don’t really know how to cook.”
“I understand.” Jonathan chuckled before asking again, “By the way, how many eggs did you buy?”
“Twenty!” Amber answered.
“Okay, please boil them for me. Just make sure the eggs are perfectly cooked.”
“Okay!” With that, Amber went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s brows twisted into a frown as he picked up the fork and started eating. The
spaghetti that Amber cooked was undoubtedly incomparable to the ones that Jennifer made.
Nonetheless, Jonathan was starving and could not care less about the taste.
Energy shot through his veins vigorously once he finished the bowl of pasta. His body absorbed the
nutrients at lightning speed.
Amber soon placed the boiled eggs on the dining table about twenty minutes later. Although the eggs
were still hot, Jonathan casually took them with his bare hands. He gave the egg a light knock against
the table, and its eggshells came off.
How incredible! Amber’s jaw dropped as she could not help but ask. “How did you do that?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJonathan ate the egg in one go, took another, and said, “This is a form of control over the force one
exerts. As an expert, this is a piece of cake for me.”
That piqued Amber’s interest at once. Her eyes sparkled when she asked, “Can you teach me how to
do that?”
Jonathan shook his head. “No way!”
“Why?”
“Because you won’t get it.”
Amber could not help but sulk, feeling unsatisfied with Jonathan’s answer. “How could you say that?
You didn’t even teach me yet. How do you know that I won’t get it?”
Amused laughter rumbled from Jonathan upon seeing her reaction. “You’re way past your most brilliant
phase at this age. The most important thing about learning martial arts is to have a mind free of
distracting thoughts. You have too much on your mind now, which means you no longer have a pure
mind.”
“Are there that many rules for learning martial arts? I thought it was just about squats, strength training,
a stable lower core, and great speed,” Amber asked curiously.
Jonathan ate another egg and asked, “How fast and strong is a person? If they don’t grasp the skills
and techniques, they will never achieve physical superiority even if they trained hard. Let me put it this
way. A person will sweat if they exercise, and sweat is vitality. If you lose that, you’ll gradually feel even
more exhausted. If you want to learn, the first thing you have to do is raise your hair follicles and close
your pores. When the cold wind suddenly blows at you, you’ll get goosebumps all over your body. Look
at me.”
He extended his arm to demonstrate.
Within moments, his hair follicles rose in front of Amber and astonished her.
She gasped. “How did you do that?”
Jonathan retracted his hand. “Well, my mind is free of distractions. I’m focused and have control of my
body. It’s that simple.”
Amber wanted to give it a try too. However, she failed after many attempts.
That amused Jonathan, who laughed and elaborated, “Here’s a more accurate description. It’s kind of
like the feeling when your feces are getting gushed out.”
Amber’s face reddened like a lobster after listening to what he said. As a girl, she found it hard to
accept his unrefined explanation
Nevertheless, Jonathan went on, “Many martial arts skills got passed down to the men of the family
back then because certain things were difficult to teach to women.”
That took Amber by surprise. “No way.”
The two chatted away, and not long after, Jonathan had eaten all twenty eggs.
Seconds passed before Jonathan spoke up. “Please arrange a space for me to sleep. I proper rest to
recuperate.”
Amber nodded and went ahead to make the bed in the room next door for him.
Afterward, Jonathan went into the room, bid Amber goodbye, and closed the door. He sat on the bed to
practice the Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.
Halfway through the practice, Jonathan fell into a deep slumber.
Throughout the night, his body rapidly absorbed the nutrients from his meal earlier and used them to
restore his bodily functions to their optimum state.
Amber later took a shower and went to bed too. She felt exceptionally at ease while being with
Jonathan. Even though they were of different genders and no one else was in the house, Amber was
not worried that he would do anything to her. After all, Jonathan was a gentleman in her eyes.
At three o’clock in the morning, Jonathan suddenly rushed out of his room and sprinted to the toilet to
explosively excrete.
He had overeaten the day before, so his body was discharging unwanted waste.
It did not take long before Jonathan’s body was free of toxins.
He felt so much better after going to the toilet.
Jonathan then had a good night’s rest and slept until ten o’clock the following day.
Amber did not wake him up. Instead, she went to the restaurant downstairs and bought a bowl of
mushroom soup for him.
Later, when Jonathan awoke, he felt revitalized and happily slurped on the mushroom soup. He had
recovered after a good night’s sleep and several nutritious meals.
Amber gave him another set of fresh white sportswear clothes while stating, “I couldn’t clean the blood
off your old clothes. Here. Wear this instead.”
Jonathan accepted them smilingly before heading back to his room to change.
He then picked up his phone and noticed that it had switched off as it ran out of battery. Thus, he
headed out to ask Amber for a phone charger. Most chargers for smartphones were universal these
days, so she lent hers to him.
The two eventually sat on the couch as they started discussing their upcoming schedule.
“Are you really going to Crimson Onyx Sect in Yorksland?” Amber asked.
Jonathan leisurely drank a cup of milk and said, “Of course. After all, I’ve promised Felicia.”
“When are you leaving? Because I’m coming with you.”
“We don’t know if there’s anything going on in Crimson Onyx Sect or if it’s safe there, so I think it’s
better if I go alone this time.”
At an instant, Amber answered, “No way. Gabriel Carter is now charged with homicide. It’s my duty as
a police officer to arrest him. I have to go with you.”
“I’m not planning to hand Gabriel over to the police. You know that Felicia wants to get her revenge, so
I intend to escort him to Golden Years. Only by doing so will Golden Years see the light of day again,”
Jonathan explained.
“That won’t be a problem. I’m sure even the mayor will support us.” Amber paused momentarily before
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmraising another point. “I’m a police officer. Won’t it better if I go so that the people of Crimson Onyx Sect
would be too afraid to fight back?”
“I’m worried that I won’t be able to protect you if we get into trouble.”
“Don’t worry. I can’t handle Felicia because she’s a ghost. However, those in Crimson Onyx Sect are
humans. My marksmanship is highly accurate. Anyway, you don’t have much say in this situation. If
you refuse to let me go with you, I’ll round up a team of officers and head there.”
Jonathan jumped in shock after hearing that. “No! Don’t do that! We don’t know what traps they’ve set
in Crimson Onyx Sect. If you bring a team, we’ll risk alerting the entire sect. Gabriel might flee if
someone tells him about us going over. Then, it would be a tough job for us to locate him.”
A sly smile flashed on Amber’s face at that moment. “So, I take it that you’ll bring me along?”
“Fine,” Jonathan said reluctantly.
Right away, Amber was excited. “When are we leaving?”
“I want you to plan our route to Yorksland first. I’m going back to let Jennifer know that I’m leaving.”
A tinge of jealousy sparked in Amber as she asked, “Why do you have to tell her everything? It’s not
like she’s your wife.”
“Hey, this is basic courtesy and respect, all right? She’ll be worried about me if I leave without saying
anything.”
“Fine. Go then.”
That made Jonathan freeze momentarily. He then chuckled and teased, “You look like you’re jealous.
Have you fallen in love with me, Captain Johnson?”
Amber huffily replied, “You wish!”
He snickered at her reaction before taking his phone, which was barely charged, and leaving Amber’s
house.
The latter was still annoyed after he left, but she did not know why she was in such a sour mood.
Amber could not help but walk toward the mirror to examine herself.
She wore her dark blue police uniform with her hair tied up, looking valiantly charismatic and stunning.
Her flawless skin and nicely proportionate curves further enhanced her overall image.
There was no doubt that Amber was a natural beauty. Yet, she was secretly upset because Jonathan
did not seem to be attracted to her or see her as a beautiful woman.
Meanwhile, Jonathan did not have such worries on his mind since he was not thinking about anything
at all.
He looked around for Jennifer the moment he arrived back at his place.
At that moment, Jennifer was doing her laundry at home, and coincidentally, she was washing her
lingerie. Excitement bubbled in Jonathan when he saw that. Seeing that he was beaming with joy,
Jennifer soon realized what was happening and blushed. She hurriedly hid her undergarments in
between her clothes.
“Haha! Damn, Jen! I didn’t know you liked wearing such sexy garments,” Jonathan teased playfully.
His comment made Jennifer’s face turn redder as she snapped, “Shut up.”
Jonathan smirked. Pfft. As if I wouldn’t know about your choice of undergarments. I’ve already seen
every part of your body. Plus, I also know that you own a thong.
He knew that Jennifer was only virtuous and gentle in appearance as she had suppressed her sensual
nature deep down.
