Grand Return System

The Bond Beneath the Moon (Part 1)

Anna’s breathing became tense.

The overwhelming immortal aura surrounding Leon gradually settled, yet the pressure lingering in the air remained impossible to ignore. It wasn’t oppressive because of hostility—it was the natural majesty of an immortal treasure standing far beyond the understanding of ordinary cultivators.

Her beautiful red-pink eyes remained fixed on him.

The Eternal Moon Sovereign Robe seemed to merge perfectly with his tall figure. Midnight-black fabric shimmered beneath the faint light, while elegant amethyst patterns flowed across the robe like rivers of stars. Every movement released a quiet ripple of immortal radiance.

Most astonishing of all...

The robe completely resisted divine sense.

Anna quietly extended her spiritual perception toward Leon.

Nothing.

It was as though he wasn’t standing before her at all.

Only her own eyes could confirm his existence.

If Leon chose not to reveal his aura, even someone standing a short distance away might fail to notice him. It was a terrifying ability for both battle and survival.

Even more frightening was its defense.

Anna carefully estimated its strength.

If she unleashed every ounce of her Mana without holding back...

Even then...

She doubted she could leave so much as a scratch on him.

"This... an immortal robe?"

Her voice trembled ever so slightly, filled with disbelief.

She had already witnessed Leon wield the First Mist Immortal Sword, a weapon powerful enough to frighten Pinnacle Realm experts.

Now...

He possessed an immortal robe as well.

Just how many heaven-defying treasures did this man have?

Every time she thought she had seen the limit of his fortune...

He surprised her again.

Her heart couldn’t help murmuring.

He’s completely unfathomable...

No matter how much I learn about him, there always seems to be another secret waiting behind the next door.

Leon noticed the amazement written all over her face.

A warm smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly stepped closer before gently brushing a few loose strands of pink hair away from her face.

His fingers lightly stroked her silky hair.

"Dear Anna," he asked softly, "look at my clothes."

He turned around once as the robe fluttered behind him like flowing moonlight.

"Do I look good?"

Anna stared blankly for several long seconds.

How could she answer that?

The robe wasn’t merely beautiful.

It transformed Leon’s entire presence.

The calm confidence already surrounding him had become even more extraordinary.

Standing beneath the endless sky, wrapped in immortal light, he truly resembled an immortal sovereign who had descended from the heavens.

Elegant.

Calm.

Untouchable.

His long black hair drifted gently behind him while his purple eyes carried a depth that seemed capable of embracing countless stars.

Even the breeze appeared reluctant to disturb him.

Anna felt her heartbeat quicken.

Too handsome...

He was simply too handsome.

Unable to look away, she nodded honestly.

"Yes."

Her voice was almost a whisper.

"It suits you perfectly."

A trace of admiration naturally surfaced in her eyes.

She didn’t even attempt to hide it.

Leon chuckled.

"Then..."

His smile became slightly mysterious.

"Do you want one too?"

Anna’s heart skipped a beat.

"This..."

Her eyes widened.

Surely...

He couldn’t possibly have another immortal robe.

Treasures like this weren’t things that appeared in pairs.

Even the oldest and most powerful sects across the world might never possess a single immortal-grade garment.

Yet Leon spoke as though giving one away was no different from handing someone an ordinary robe.

Could he really...

Anna couldn’t finish the thought.

How wealthy was he?

Every answer she imagined sounded ridiculous.

Leon smiled without explaining.

With a gentle wave of his hand, another burst of soft moonlight appeared before them.

Floating quietly in the air...

A breathtaking white gown slowly descended.

Its surface shimmered with silver and pale amethyst light.

Countless tiny celestial runes drifted across the fabric before disappearing like snowflakes beneath moonlight.

It radiated the same immortal aura as Leon’s robe.

The two treasures clearly belonged together.

Leon carefully took Anna’s hand.

His fingers were warm.

"So this is yours."

He placed the gown gently into her hands.

"This Eternal Moon Celestial Gown is a matching set with mine."

His smile softened.

"Go on."

"Put it on."

"I want to see how beautiful you’ll look."

Anna lowered her gaze toward the gown resting in her hands.

Its flawless white fabric seemed almost alive.

Immortal radiance gently flowed across every thread.

Just holding it made the Mana within her body become incomparably lively.

She hesitated.

An Eternal Genesis Pill.

An immortal gown.

Leon had already given her treasures beyond imagination.

Her thoughts became chaotic.

I already kissed him after accepting the Eternal Genesis Pill...

Now... he’s giving me another immortal treasure.

How am I supposed to repay something like this?

Her cheeks gradually turned crimson.

Her imagination began wandering somewhere she immediately wanted to deny.

My body...?

The instant the thought appeared...

She hurriedly shook her head.

"No... no..."

Her face became even redder.

What am I thinking...?

She secretly stole a glance at Leon.

He simply waited quietly, smiling at her with the same gentle expression as always.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of impatience.

Nor was there any expectation.

He was simply happy to give it to her.

That realization warmed her heart once again.

I’ll accept it...

As for repaying him...

I’ll think about that another day.

Taking a slow breath, Anna accepted the gown with both hands.

Then she activated her Principle of Transformation.

A gentle stream of Mana flowed around her graceful figure.

Soft white light bloomed beneath her feet.

Her original robes dissolved into countless particles of light.

The Eternal Moon Celestial Gown quietly wrapped around her body.

The immortal fabric fit her perfectly, as though it had been created solely for her.

Silver moonlight danced around her waist.

Elegant celestial patterns stretched gracefully across the flowing sleeves.

The long white gown fluttered gently despite the still air.

Every movement released tiny particles of luminous light.

Her long pink hair cascaded behind her like flowing silk.

The immortal gown highlighted her graceful figure without appearing excessive, carrying only elegance and celestial beauty.

She slowly opened her eyes.

At that very moment...

It was as though a true celestial fairy had descended into the mortal world.

Her delicate feet lightly touched the ground.

The hem of her gown swayed with the breeze, occasionally revealing her fair ankles before disappearing once more beneath layers of immortal silk.

Even the surrounding light seemed drawn toward her.

Leon simply stood there.

Silent.

His breathing unconsciously slowed.

He had seen countless beautiful women in both his current and previous lives.

Yet very few could make his heart stop for even a moment.

Anna...

Was one of them.

Her beauty wasn’t merely her appearance.

It was the quiet sincerity in her eyes...

The determination hidden behind her cold expression...

And the warmth she revealed only when facing him.

Leon couldn’t help smiling.

"Beautiful..."

His voice escaped almost instinctively.

"Too beautiful..."
