Imma say this here since y'all are acting blind and not reading my notes.
WHAT EXACTLY DO PEOPLE WRITE IN BONUS CHAPTERS?!
State your demands clearly!
This is going to be a continuation of the main story since I don't know what to do.
Thank you.

The next morning, Lennox's group departed early morning as planned. Thanks to the wyvern's high speed, they managed to reach the Yin region in less than fifteen minutes.
When Everly felt Chan-Chan descending, she excitedly popped her head from inside the cabinet only to see them landing in the middle of a forest.
She turned to Lennox saying: " Chan-Chan took the wrong way "
" It's the right way " Lennox indifferently responded as he dismounted off the wyvern, Ashel followed behind him closely while dragging the unwilling Everly.
Just like with the barrier in that island, Lennox muttered a spell and the air rippled as a sign that the barrier was unsealed. He took a step forward then disappeared in a blink. Ashel did not give Everly time to protest as he pulled her to follow behind His Lord. Everly felt a tingling sensation as her sight went blurry for a few seconds, when she opened her eyes again, she was too shocked that she forgot to close her jaw.
And here she thought that the imperial palace was unnecessarily luxurious and too big, but this castle here is just screaming 'I am too extravagant and wasteful, I could make you cry' on its surface.
What is this! Who uses jade to build his walls and red gold to make gates?! What the potato!
Note: Everly does not understand the concept of swearing so she just uses random words.
Note 2: the barrier blocks sunlight, although it is bright in the morning and dark in the night, direct sunlight is blocked outside, so Lennox can roam around freely.
Everly really felt like beating someone but the culprit is already walking ahead. Looking at the little girl huffing and puffing, Ashel became confused.
' Why is the little lady upset? '
Lennox did not pay attention to his two little ducklings as he fondly gazed at what used to be his comforting home. In the middle of the grandidierite lake, an enormous white jade castle stood proudly, almost touching all the edges of the high cliff. Although the castle looked to be neglected for a few decades, it could not hide its majestic nature.
Seeing the home he had built block by block being defeated by age, Lennox could not help but feel his heart tighten. He put his hand on the crystal bridge's railing and a bright spark shone in his hand, spreading all the way to the crystal under his hand, causing all the dust and dried plants to burn away instantly. The spark did not stop there and gradually moved to cover the entire bridge then crawled to another building, burning all the wastes accumulated throughout this hundred years of his absence.
Seeing that the bridge she was standing on was actually made of crystals, Everly could not help but stretch her hand to touch the edge of the railing. Trailing her hand downwards, Everly subconsciously added extra strength and caused a baluster to snap.
Everly: "....."
Bun-Bun: "...."
Once the 'crack' sounded, Lennox who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. They don't need to look at his face to know that he is about to beat the shit out of them.
This Water Heart crystal is formed inside an underwater volcano, which Lennox spent three whole days painstakingly extracting out of the melting hot lava. A second ago he had momentary lifted the protection barrier to thoroughly clean it, who would have thought that Everly could grasp every opportunity at hand when it comes to destroying his things?
With consideration to the fluff ball's little life, Bun-Bun hastily grabbed her and fled.
Lennox did not chase after them. After all, this is his land, if he wanted he could bring them with a flick of his finger. However, he still has something more important to do, he can kick her ass later.
Walking behind the main castle, Lennox went through the willow trees' path towards a hillock at the end. At the top of the hillock, a broad gravestone was placed there next to a silver diamond flower.
Staring at the stone board that was entirely covered in mud and vegetation, Lennox took a deep breath then said slowly in an audible voice.
" Hey, I am back. It's been a while "
No one responded, neither was Lennox waiting for an answer. He very naturally took off his jacket and placed it on the ground, pulled up his sleeves and took out the Lake water he prepared yesterday, a wooden basin and a piece of silk cloth.
Note: I forgot to mention this but that lake is linked to a river that stems from heaven, so its water is actually Holy Water but it sounds weird to me so imma call it Lake water.
" Sorry for disappearing out of the blue, things got chaotic and I, myself, am not sure of what happened "
He continued to talk to himself while diligently plugging the vegetation of the stone board with his bare hands.
" Oh yes, I brought you a great-grandchild too. She's a trouble-making brat, but still somehow cute and soft, you would have liked her. Well, her sleeping habits aren't that great "
Once he was done with the vegetations, Lennox poured some Holy water on the stone board, then wetted the silk cloth and started scrubbing the mud off it.
" I told you I am not having a child of my own just yet, so stop nagging me about it ", after a pause Lennox continued, " I still hadn't found my pair "
After making sure that all the mud was scrubbed away, Lennox poured more Lake water to wash away the remaining dirt. Then he started sweeping away the scattered willow leaves that fell over the man's grave.
" I said it before, unless it's my pair I would not have an offspring. You should know the reason why, mother must have told you already, father"
Once everything was cleared, Lennox poured the rest of the Lake water on the ground. Then kneeled on the side, reciting a few sacred scripts to peace the soul. It took him a bit more than an hour to finish his prayers and go to look for the little two brats.
