- In Marvel: I Start by Marrying Scarlett Witch [Complete]
- MWM Chapter 259
At 2:00 in the afternoon, Wanda finally woke up feeling well-rested. She sat up on the bed, stretched out her arms lazily, revealing her increasingly exaggerated curves.
“Another happy day!”
She got up, pulled open the curtains, and gazed at the bright blue sky and radiant sunlight outside, feeling a wave of contentment in her heart.
Ever since she married Leo, she felt as if her life had become more relaxed.
Before meeting Leo, she was either working at a convenience store to make ends meet or participating in Sokovia’s protest movements with her brother, her heart filled with hatred and a constant desire for revenge, always holding on to that drive.
Now, her days were spent eating, drinking, attending tea parties with the neighborhood housewives, gossiping about the latest news, and occasionally participating in charity events with Mei You.
On top of that, she and her husband Leo would go grocery shopping together, stroll through the streets, and buy a few things here and there.
Although she could easily conjure most items with magic these days, the act of shopping with her beloved was a joy in itself.
Besides, sometimes you need to see something beautiful before you can use it as inspiration to create something magical, right?
Compared to independent women with their careers and dreams, she might seem a little less remarkable as a housewife.
But in reality, she absolutely loved the life she was living now.
Not everyone is driven by ambition or aspirations to become a great person, to live an extraordinary life, or to showcase their uniqueness.
Without hatred driving her, she was now just a simple woman who wanted to live a peaceful life with her loved one, easily satisfied and always finding joy.
That’s why she enjoyed watching those humorous family sitcoms so much.
Most importantly, her husband Leo, despite owning an international company, wasn’t a workaholic. He wasn’t constantly flying around the world, managing business affairs, attending endless parties, or meeting different women.
For the most part, Leo stayed home with her, only occasionally going out to do some superhero work, saving the world or helping those in need.
“Honey, are you home?”
After opening the curtains, Wanda called out to the bedroom in her usual routine.
Hearing no response from Leo, she gently opened the wardrobe door a crack, and immediately the sound of crackling magic echoed from within. She knew then that Leo hadn’t left the house—he was studying magic inside the wardrobe.
Yes, besides being the CEO of an international company, her husband Leo was also a highly skilled magician, and, in fact, her first magic teacher.
He loved practicing magic in the wardrobe at home.
After closing the wardrobe door, Wanda freshened up briefly, put on her apron, and began making some snacks.
Typically, she wouldn’t conjure food directly with magic—it made the food feel soulless to her. At most, she’d use a bit of magic as an aid.
Once she had prepared a large plate of snacks and brewed two cups of tea, she carried them into the wardrobe, as usual.
“Honey, do you want to have some snacks with me?”
Inside the wardrobe, 2001 copies of Leo all turned their heads at Wanda’s call.
“Of course!”
“Oh… Honey, it seems like your clones have multiplied again. Which one is the real you?”
Wanda was startled by the sight of so many Leos at once.
Before entering the world of Xianxia (immortal cultivation), Leo could only create up to 300 shadow clones. Due to the time limits on the clones, whenever Wanda entered the wardrobe, she would only see a few dozen of them practicing magic or ninjutsu.
But now, seeing 2001 of them all at once gave her quite a shock.
The reason was that Leo had formed his golden core, drastically enhancing his body’s abilities. Combined with his Sage Mode, his shadow clones could last a whole day without dissipating.
The clones would only disappear if they used up their Sage Chakra during ninjutsu, or if they were injured. But as long as the original body replenished his true energy and chakra in time, he could immediately create more clones to continue.
“I’m right here.”
The real Leo, who had been meditating to recover his true energy, saw Wanda enter, dispelled his multiple shadow clones, and closed his eyes briefly to absorb all the memories and fatigue of the clones. After a moment, he got up and stood before Wanda.
By now, most of his Sage Chakra had been depleted, so it was a good time for a break.
Sage Chakra, a combination of chakra and true energy, could be used for casting Daoist spells, with certain amplification effects. It could also be used to assist in crafting tools or practicing spells in place of the original body.
“Just so you know, you’re not allowed to use that many clones to gang up on me tonight. It’s too overwhelming!”
Seeing Leo approach, Wanda jokingly warned him.
“Uh… Do you really think I’m that kind of guy?”
Hearing Wanda’s playful remark, Leo couldn’t help but twitch a smile.
“Turns out, you really don’t have any cultivation potential.”
As he sat down and stuffed a snack into his mouth, he used a Daoist method he had just learned to evaluate Wanda’s potential for cultivation.
The result? Wanda had no aptitude for cultivation at all.
To be honest, after going through several worlds, Leo had already suspected this.
Different worlds had different physical traits, and the methods of cultivation didn’t translate between them.
For example, without the physiology of people from the Naruto world, one couldn’t extract chakra from their body and spirit, even if they knew the technique for chakra extraction.
Unless he brought the Divine Tree from the Naruto world to the main world and transformed the people of Earth, giving them the same physiology as those in the Naruto world.
Similarly, wizarding magic couldn’t be performed without the appropriate bloodline.
It was the same in the world of immortal cultivation: without the right physical constitution, one couldn’t absorb the energy of the heavens and the earth, even if they knew the methods for cultivation.
The reason Leo could manage all this was because his body originated from the main world, and each time he entered a different world, his panel would modify his body, giving him the same constitution as the people of that world.
In the Naruto world, he was granted the five chakra natures; in the wizarding world, he gained a pure-blood lineage; in the Xianxia world, he received a top-tier cultivation constitution.
This also meant that, in normal circumstances, the things he learned from these other worlds couldn’t be taught to anyone in the main world.
Wanda, however, was able to learn the magic he taught her because her innate Scarlet Witch abilities—her Chaos Magic—enabled her to alter reality.
Her magic wasn’t fundamentally the same as the magic Leo used through his wizarding bloodline, though the effects were similar.
Wanda’s lack of cultivation aptitude meant he couldn’t teach her the Shangqing Dadao scriptures, nor could she achieve immortality through cultivation.
But that was fine—he had already considered this problem and found a solution.
While he couldn’t help Wanda achieve immortality through cultivation, he had other methods.
“Wanda, let’s practice dual cultivation.”
Through the dual cultivation method of the Xuanyin Sect, he could nourish Wanda’s body with true energy, indirectly extending her lifespan.
