It turned out that Kyoya is more perverted, at least when it comes to the feet cultivation.
The first assumption was that his wife's satisfaction had to be gathered by the perverted acts born out from her 'feet fetish'. This was the mistake of the husband that got exposed when one day, Xaya just decided to take a nap on the fluffy carpet.
She curled up, her body taking a small piece of carpet for herself. After her feet got blessed yet again by the new item from her husband, Xaya already had satisfaction swelling up within her heart.
Thus, with that, she decided to take a nap. It was also because the husband was still performing his own feet cultivation. The one that requires him to get other psychiques from the chosen ones. Of course, this would be a huge boost if Kyoya got the psychique from the other chosen one.
But it's not like he can not cultivate his blessing from the divine demon.
At this point, Kyoya had long realized that he got speed-related physique due to the feet cultivation that was the surface that had the dice rolled.
'If that's the truth, then someone else got the last physique shortly after me.'
The husband had to run in one place to train his feet. When one has to associate the body part with 'speed' then it's either hand or legs that come to mind. This was the reason why Kyoya assumed that he got the speed demonic physique.
Also, the husband needs speed as he has begun stepping on the proper path. The former battle with the bear had shown that he needs this attribute the most!
"Husband, are we going to the city today?"
"Yes. I have trained up the feet cultivation and performed some hunts with the villagers to sharpen up the knife battle style."
"It is sad that the husband had to give up on the arrows!"
"It's okay, I believe there is more to that path of mine, so we have to keep going and find out! Let's go on another adventure!"
"Yes, husband!"
For a few days, Kyoya decided to stay in the village and focus on the new style. It is great to have a lot of abilities, but the more skills in his inventory, the more time is needed to practice those.
Since there was already a place here for him, the husband decided to practice close combat with knives, then feet cultivation early in the morning. The nights had been filled with rest where his wife took care of him.
Her own training was different as Xaya was focusing on the healing skill. She also spoke with Xiaoxiao about the healing prowess and learned that it is important to properly know the body structure.
So looking at the wounds of her husband, Xaya was training up the perception concept that the husband had also awakened. Regardless, Kyoya couldn't really train that one for now. And because Xaya just had to replenish her mana, her physical strength had been far better during that training course.
Thus, the nights were filled with the wife doing her best to relax her husband.
Furthermore, Kyoya knew that his wife could give him the bonus effects to the arrows. It was sad to lose that, but it was simply not the path right for him. The difference between holding the knife and arrow was like the night and day!
"Husband, husband."
"What?"
"I will keep an eye on the minimap! The game between the filth means that these bastards can spot you and your physique! With the map, we will have an advantage!"
"That's a fair point. Thanks."
A yandere wife comes back to her seat.
On her husband's back, the minimap of the couple could become one and Xaya's senses were more sensitive toward the filth. For a second, the minimap flashed red, but their current place was that of the village.
As beautiful as she is, Xaya had been the source of many talks within the village, lust, and worship the two common reasonings behind these rumors.
Ignoring the lowly humans that the husband had told her to ignore, Xaya focused on the minimap way too much as her eyes were glaring into nothingness.
It looked like she was lost in thoughts, but that's not the case.
"I will tell you if there is anything interesting."
"Yes, husband."
Not like Kyoya is going to focus on the demonic physique as this is not his path for sure. It is a supportive power at most. Also, if he decided to go for it, then the husband would need to search for other chosen ones and that's not how he wants to adventure.
It was also mostly because those chosen ones will be negatively biased toward him. If his guess was correct, then to get the physique, one has to kill the chosen ones.
The demon who had mentioned something about 'giving the physique for others' was jesting toward them as this would be just suiciding.
The path toward the city on the second floor was mostly filled with the low leveled monsters that posed no threat toward the husband and Xaya. These monsters mostly took the defensive stance, hiding their presence instead.
There were also carriages with a lot of humans going in two ways, so following those, the couple had diminished the chances of them becoming the targets of the monsters around the floor.
At least three hours passed on the walk.
Then, the city spread itself on the horizon. Though most prospering, the city was nothing compared to the Grooma Kingdom and lacked in various ways. The walls surrounding the city to protect its content were short and wooden.
At least the quality of the wood was better and more polished with some belief techniques protecting the residents. The guards were also in poor equipment, but not like Kyoya could comment here.
He was wearing the shirt and plain pants, the boots being straw ones as well. His wife was a tad better, but she was more or less in similar clothing. The main goal, however, was to check if there is a magic item or resource that emits the heat.
This was needed for the husband's project for his bathroom. The truth was that there were many items needed for the bathroom project, but the item related to the heat would be the best for the first choice.
The reason for that was simple - the husband has to prepare the hot water every day by using wood and that is not something he is fond of as it takes time. The husband also could prepare the small fire in his house before going to sleep for an early bath, but that's just too wasteful.
Once inside the city, the husband stomped on the road filled with small pebbles. He asked the guard beforehand for the directions leading to the smithy. It would be far better to ask the blacksmiths from the Grooma Kingdom, but not like the husband can waste their time with such questions.
Also, he would need to make an appointment and waste his own time as a result.
So he decided to sightsee and just speak with the local blacksmith on the second floor.
"We can also ask for any environment with fire-related monsters. For now, we are relaxing."
"Yes, husband! In a fire environment, the quest for hot items should appear!"
"That's right."
The worst thing is that the all creation system doesn't allow for random creations. It supports Xaya and Kyoya's wishes, but the quests are the prerequisites, so before that, some intel had to be done.
The husband eyed the medieval age buildings and local people who smiled despite their poor environment that reeked of poverty.
Stepping onto the road with the shops scattered on both sides, the husband headed to the smithy, but his eyes shifted to the side inadvertently. A man was performing some prophecy using the cards. He was doing it for free, his whole form similar to the street performers from Kyoya's homeworld.
'Two hundred years passed… There is a slight chance my family is alive though.'
Xaya told her husband that since his world is without any supernatural elements and different gods, then there was a huge chance that the flow of time is far different. Two hundred years might be a few minutes!
It was sounding more like she was trying to cheer him up, but Kyoya held to that and just accepted his wife's words.
The man with a long hat had already gathered the attention of the husband, so he decided to try one of the prophecies as well.
"Is that how you raise your belief?"
Kyoya assumed that the man was performing the prophecies for free on the street to raise his power and belief. If that was the case, then such a method would be nice, but the man just shook his head.
He dodged the question neatly, then presented the whole pack of cards scattered like a fan.
"I have to choose one card, yes?"
"Yes. I will tell you what lies on your path then, young man."
"Then…"
Kyoya randomly extended his hand to take one of the cards, but his eyes dilated slightly as the feeling of the card was similar to the one when he holds the knives. He got visibly startled by that, but the man ignored that, pushing up the card chosen by Kyoya.
"Now, now… What awaits the young man… Oh…"
It was the street performer's turn to get surprised. He smacked his lips a few times yet no word slipped outside. Only when he corrected his clothes, one word escaped his lips.
"Joker."
"What does it mean?"
"It is me who should be asking you instead. The joker is the one who decides his fate… So what kind of joker are you?"
"Hmm… Did I just take out the unique card? If you don't know what to say, then it's okay. It is just a game."
"A game, was it? Haha~~ If that's what you think…"
The man stopped his show, abruptly kneeling to pack up his stuff. He began gathering up all the donations, the chair, and spare packs of cards into one bag. It was as if Kyoya became an air, so the husband just ignored the man and turned around.
It was then.
"But think of my question. Not like you are going to have time for anything better. Hah."
"What do you-"
The voice from behind was laced in laughter and teasing tone to which Kyoya couldn't stay idle. He spun around in a flash to face the street performer, but to no avail. The man was long gone from the street as if his whole form turned into an air itself.
"He just threatened me, didn't he?"
"Husband, husband. You always end up in stupid situations! Instead of trying to speak with the filth, you should just look at me and the surrounding world!"
"The world doesn't speak, right?"
"Yes!"
The husband laughed in response, then turned to continue his walk. The destination had never changed and the goal was the smithy, but now, Kyoya had something else in his mind. It was naturally the cards.
"Xaya, I felt the familiar sensation when I touched the cards."
"Hmm?"
"I believe the cards are what I need. At least something good came out from this misfortune."
"Cards? Cards…"
[Your normal arrow creation has changed!]
[Card Creation Skill achieved.]
"Husband! I got a new skill! This is card creation! Are you going to throw cards from now on? Husband?"
Kyoya was in a trance right now, so there was no way for Xaya to get an answer out from him. He was currently realizing that becoming the god is not a mere joke from The Sixth Death God.
His divine energy was unstained, the one that filled up his body from the summoning circle. It was because the sixth death god had given the quest for Kyoya that turned him into a supportive disciple or in short, the son-in-law.
But the trickster god's divine energy was untouched and even Kyoya himself was completing the minor quests to joke around. Now that he thought about becoming the god, Kyoya imagined the appearance of the clown.
'Of course, the clown is with cards and knives… Fuck…'
Ding!
Quest!
[Reach the godhood - Become The Ninth Trickster God.]
[The ranks of your skills have been updated.]
The husband had some skills related to the trickster god already, even one of them was called 'Trickster God's Memory Shift' that worked on the souls as he was just that weak. This skill was used once when he was in the soul form. This skill also got a rank.
But the husband turned his eyes to the recent skill.
[Ace's Deceive.]
It was the execution skill that was the strongest skill in the husband's palette. The execution skill became 'Ace's Deceive'. This had raised the stats of the skill itself! Just a few minutes ago, the skill would increase Kyoya's speed up by 20% and his damage output by at least 50%.
Now, it turned into a 40% speed boost and 75% of the damage output.
[Jack's Deceive.]
[To evolve the execution to the next rank - Jack's Deceive - you have to learn and sharpen up the concepts of the ace.]
[Queen's Deceive. - Unavailable.]
[King's Deceive. - Unavailable.]
[Joker's Deceive. - Unavailable.]
"..."
[Your 'Four of a kind' skill has been updated.]
'At least this, what the hell is this skill..'
The husband's eyes shot up, startling Xaya who was already yanking on his arm. She herself stopped when her husband mindlessly muttered one word that put a vein on her temple.
"Disciples?"
"Disciples, is it? Husband! As if I will let you have the disciples!"
"Shut up! It's not my fault! You are the one who used some stupid summoning circle!"
"What? So it is my fault now?! Disciples are a big no! Hmpf."
"It's not like I have to keep the disciples close to me… I can just give them cards."
"Oh, that is okay. Disciples are the source of power, so go and spread your cards, husband. Let them work for you while we go sightseeing!"
"..."
The husband just scratched the back of his head as the situation took a huge turn in just a few seconds. He truly got the quest to become the god, but his wife was taking it too lightly! From what he could tell, the joker is like the highest disciple of the trickster god.
His path is to become the highest disciple of his own divine energy and then reach the higher realms.
In the meantime, he can boost his way by getting disciples.
"Have you ever played cards, Xaya?"
"No."
"..."

In a fire environment, the quest for hot items should appear!""That's right."The worst thing is that the all creation system doesn't allow for random creations. It supports Xaya and Kyoya's wishes, but the quests are the prerequisites, so before that, some intel had to be done.The husband eyed the medieval age buildings and local people who smiled despite their poor environment that reeked of poverty.Stepping onto the road with the shops scattered on both sides, the husband headed to the smithy, but his eyes shifted to the side inadvertently. A man was performing some prophecy using the cards. He was doing it for free, his whole form similar to the street performers from Kyoya's homeworld.'Two hundred years passed There is a slight chance my family is alive though.'Xaya told her husband that since his world is without any supernatural elements and different gods, then there was a huge chance that the flow of time is far different. Two hundred years might be a few minutes!It was sounding more like she was trying to cheer him up, but Kyoya held to that and just accepted his wife's words.The man with a long hat had already gathered the attention of the husband, so he decided to try one of the prophecies as well."Is that how you raise your belief?"Kyoya assumed that the man was performing the prophecies for free on the street to raise his power and belief. If that was the case, then such a method would be nice, but the man just shook his head.He dodged the question neatly, then presented the whole pack of cards scattered like a fan."I have to choose one card, yes?""Yes. I will tell you what lies on your path then, young man.""Then"Kyoya randomly extended his hand to take one of the cards, but his eyes dilated slightly as the feeling of the card was similar to the one when he holds the knives. He got visibly startled by that, but the man ignored that, pushing up the card chosen by Kyoya."Now, now What awaits the young man Oh"It was the street performer's turn to get surprised. He smacked his lips a few times yet no word slipped outside. Only when he corrected his clothes, one word escaped his lips."Joker.""What does it mean?""It is me who should be asking you instead. The joker is the one who decides his fate So what kind of joker are you?""Hmm Did I just take out the unique card? If you don't know what to say, then it's okay. It is just a game.""A game, was it? Haha~~ If that's what you think"The man stopped his show, abruptly kneeling to pack up his stuff. He began gathering up all the donations, the chair, and spare packs of cards into one bag. It was as if Kyoya became an air, so the husband just ignored the man and turned around.It was then."But think of my question. Not like you are going to have time for anything better. Hah.""What do you-"The voice from behind was laced in laughter and teasing tone to which Kyoya couldn't stay idle. He spun around in a flash to face the street performer, but to no avail. The man was long gone from the street as if his whole form turned into an air itself."He just threatened me, didn't he?""Husband, husband. You always end up in stupid situations! Instead of trying to speak with the filth, you should just look at me and the surrounding world!""The world doesn't speak, right?""Yes!"The husband laughed in response, then turned to continue his walk. The destination had never changed and the goal was the smithy, but now, Kyoya had something else in his mind. It was naturally the cards."Xaya, I felt the familiar sensation when I touched the cards.""Hmm?""I believe the cards are what I need. At least something good came out from this misfortune.""Cards? Cards"Your normal arrow creation has changed!Card Creation Skill achieved."Husband! I got a new skill! This is card creation! Are you going to throw cards from now on? Husband?"Kyoya was in a trance right now, so there was no way for Xaya to get an answer out from him. He was currently realizing that becoming the god is not a mere joke from The Sixth Death God.His divine energy was unstained, the one that filled up his body from the summoning circle. It was because the sixth death god had given the quest for Kyoya that turned him into a supportive disciple or in short, the son-in-law.But the trickster god's divine energy was untouched and even Kyoya himself was completing the minor quests to joke around. Now that he thought about becoming the god, Kyoya imagined the appearance of the clown.'Of course, the clown is with cards and knives Fuck'Ding!Quest!Reach the godhood - Become The Ninth Trickster God.The ranks of your skills have been updated.The husband had some skills related to the trickster god already, even one of them was called 'Trickster God's Memory Shift' that worked on the souls as he was just that weak. This skill was used once when he was in the soul form. This skill also got a rank.But the husband turned his eyes to the recent skill.Ace's Deceive.It was the execution skill that was the strongest skill in the husband's palette. The execution skill became 'Ace's Deceive'. This had raised the stats of the skill itself! Just a few minutes ago, the skill would increase Kyoya's speed up by 20% and his damage output by at least 50%.Now, it turned into a 40% speed boost and 75% of the damage output.Jack's Deceive.To evolve the execution to the next rank - Jack's Deceive - you have to learn and sharpen up the concepts of the ace.Queen's Deceive. - Unavailable.King's Deceive. - Unavailable.Joker's Deceive. - Unavailable."..."Your 'Four of a kind' skill has been updated.'At least this, what the hell is this skill..'The husband's eyes shot up, startling Xaya who was already yanking on his arm. She herself stopped when her husband mindlessly muttered one word that put a vein on her temple."Disciples?""Disciples, is it? Husband! As if I will let you have the disciples!""Shut up! It's not my fault! You are the one who used some stupid summoning circle!""What? So it is my fault now?! Disciples are a big no! Hmpf.""It's not like I have to keep the disciples close to me I can just give them cards.""Oh, that is okay. Disciples are the source of power, so go and spread your cards, husband. Let them work for you while we go sightseeing!""..."The husband just scratched the back of his head as the situation took a huge turn in just a few seconds. He truly got the quest to become the god, but his wife was taking it too lightly! From what he could tell, the joker is like the highest disciple of the trickster god.His path is to become the highest disciple of his own divine energy and then reach the higher realms.In the meantime, he can boost his way by getting disciples."Have you ever played cards, Xaya?""No.""..."
