Billy smiled and said, "Congratulations, dear wife."
This outcome was clearly within his expectations. When he helped the two sisters unlock their meridians last time, assisting them in breaking through to the Battle God level, it wasn't the extent of his abilities. If Billy truly exerted his full strength, along with some auxiliary elixirs, he could even directly propel Harleen and Felicia into the late-stage War Grandmaster realm.
He deliberately slowed down their progress because he was concerned that breaking through too quickly would put too much strain on their bodies. Additionally, he intentionally sealed a portion of his power within their bodies.
As they continued to cultivate, that sealed power would gradually be released, allowing them to progress at a rate far beyond ordinary individuals.
"It's all thanks to you, my dear husband." Harleen replied with a radiant smile. "Honey, it's still early. After dinner, how about we go for a walk?"
"Sure!" Billy nodded with a smile.
A few dozen minutes later, after they finished their meal and tidied up the dining room, they walked hand in hand out of the house.
"Wife, where would you like to go?" Billy asked with a smile.
"I don't have a specific destination, I just want to walk with you." Harleen replied. After a moment of thought, she continued, "How about we go to the Civic Square nearby? I've heard it's livelier there at night than during the day. What do you think?"
"Haha, sounds great!" Billy smiled and said, "Should we have Stout drive us there?"
"No, let's walk there. Consider it a leisurely stroll." Harleen suggested with a slight shake of her head.
"Alright!" Billy agreed with a smile. He then took Harleen's hand, and they walked toward the entrance of the neighborhood.
The Civic Square that Harleen mentioned was about a twenty-minute walk from their neighborhood. Since they weren't in a hurry, they chatted along the way and arrived at the square after half an hour.
Looking around, the square was already bustling with people, and the atmosphere was lively.
"This is very merry!" Harleen's mood was evidently quite good. She then pointed to a group of people not far away who were dancing in the square. "Many times I envy them. They find joy in life amidst simplicity, temporarily leaving behind all their worries, carefree and happy as they spend each evening..."
"When we get older, let's come here to dance too, alright? I want to dance a duet with you." she suggested.
"Haha, sure!" Billy laughed heartily.
"Really?" Harleen smiled and said, "In that case, my dear, you'll have to find some time to learn how to dance. I'm a good dancer, and if you don't dance well, someone might steal your dance partner."
"Is that so? Maybe it's better not to come then, I'll get too much pressure." Billy chuckled in response.
Harleen chuckled, covering her mouth. "I'm just teasing you. I won't dance with anyone else but you!"
"In that case, I feel relieved," Billy replied with another smile as he held her hand, and they continued walking.
Inside the square, there was a similar lively atmosphere. There were street performers, magic shows, and plenty of vendors. Harleen was in high spirits that evening, and they strolled around for almost two hours before she was finally satisfied.
Hand in hand, they headed back home. As they walked a few steps further, Harleen's phone rang. It was a call from her mother, asking why she hadn't returned home yet. On the other end of the line, Tasha wanted to talk to Billy after hearing that he had returned, so Harleen handed the phone to Billy.
Taking the call, Billy chatted with Tasha as they continued walking.
