Chapter 18

Erwin didn't expect Madison to already possess this level of skills at such a young age. He had a pleased expression on his face. It was terrific news that they were seeing the emergence of a budding talent in the world of mystic arts. Erwin quickly decided to light some incense sticks for the Three Pristine Deities to celebrate this. Oliver could see Erwin skipping lightly and smiling so broadly that his eyes narrowed into slits. Erwin looked so much happier than the time he decided to take his youngest apprentice under his wing. … Madison had a good night's sleep. As soon as she woke up, Madison looked toward the window almost instinctively. As expected, she could see Sebastian's form, which had its back on her. Madison changed her clothes and said, "As I've said, I can now help you return to your body for a short period. Yet, you don't want to do it." Sebastian responded, "This is a good chance for me to find out the true characters of those hiding behind a mask." He closed his eyes and continued in a deep voice, "I can see your reflection on the window. Can you get changed in the bathroom next time? I'm standing right here, you know." Madison was already done changing clothes. She gently lifted her hair that was still pressed under her shirt and swept it back. "It's not like I'm going to lose anything if someone sees my body. Besides, you're not someone who's into peeping women." Sebastian was struck speechless. Although he didn't have such habits, that didn't mean Madison could just nonchalantly take off her clothes around him. But before he could lecture her, Madison had gone to the bathroom to wash herself. Ten minutes later, Madison came out of the bathroom and saw that Sebastian was no longer there. They had only gotten to know each other fairly recently. However, Madison already had a rough idea of what kind of person Sebastian was. Sebastian was somewhat old-fashioned and formal in the way he spoke. It was obvious he had received a good education. His politeness and good manners were deeply ingrained in him. Even though he was in his spirit form now, Sebastian didn't lose himself. "Only a man like him… No. Only a spirit like him can retain his rationality even when surrounded by ghostly energy," Madison thought. She headed downstairs for breakfast and found Jordan at the dining table. Jordan shot to his feet the instant he saw Madison. "Good morning, Ms. Madison! Did you sleep well last night, Ms. Madison? Your skin is glowing, and you look even prettier today, Ms. Madison." He was obviously trying to please her with flattery. Madison even felt that Jordan should have just stuck the word "flatterer" to his forehead. Madison frowned slightly. "Why are you here?" "I'm here to congratulate you on your livestream becoming the number one trending topic online!" Jordan said and clapped his hands. Madison and the Lockes gawked at Jordan as though they were watching him give a solo performance right in their dining room. William, Tanya, and Harvey were there. They stared at Jordan with widened eyes. "Jordan, what are you talking about?" Jordan noticed the bewildered expressions on their faces. "Mr. Locke, Mrs. Locke, Harvey, did you all not watch Ms. Madison's livestream yesterday?" Then, Jordan directed his gaze at Tanya. He was clearly a little disgruntled. He had mentioned the livestream to Tanya yesterday. So, he assumed the Lockes would all watch Madison's livestream last night. Yet, they didn't watch the livestream. "Mrs. Locke, whenever Rebecca appeared in a drama or a movie or when she went on a livestream, you would watch them and send her gifts no matter how late they were aired. "Why is it when it comes to Madison…" Jordan didn't finish his words. However, it was clear what he was trying to say. Tanya seemed flustered. She found it hard to maintain a composed expression. She replied dryly, "Becky went on a livestream to sell some products last night. I was watching her livestream." She tried to justify herself. "Becky was working. It's not the same as what Maddie is doing. Maddie's just doing it for fun." She didn't like watching livestreams of women who just sang and danced to entertain their viewers.
