Chapter 446: Vacation [1]
*thrash* In the morning bright sun, the waves wuthered and hit the shores as the cool morning breeze swept across the coast.
Ning Zhilian stood at the edge of the beach, her bare feet sinking slightly into the soft, damp sand, her gaze was fixed on the horizon, where the rising sun painted the sky with hues of amber and crimson.
She is wearing a red bikini with a piece of cloth over her shoulder as a sigh escaped her lips...
"How the hell did I end up here?"
The waves washed up near her toes, the cool water a contrast to the warmth of the sun that bathed her face.
She glanced at the large beach house in the distance near this shore and with light steps, she began to walk toward it.
"They all must have woken up..." she muttered, slowing walking through the damp sand.
Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, a smile graced her lips "This is also good... I can relax a bit."
She quickly entered the house and loud screams echoed in the house "You damn bitch! What are you doing in the kitchen"
"I came to prepare breakfast and coffee for Tian."
"Huh? Do you even know how to cook..."
"I watched videos on Ntube... I know how to cook, hmph."
"Uh, Sisters calm down..."
"Go outside..."
"if we let her stay anymore, she will blow up the entire kitchen..."
"Hahaha..."
"Then, teach me how to cook."
"Hua, wait... let her stay."
"Baaah!"
Hearing their banter, Ning Zhilian couldn't help but chuckle and walked to the kitchen.
There she saw Zhao Suyin, Zhao Ying, Ning Yueli, Yu Hua, Ling Xin, Ling Meiying, Fei Lingxi, and Fei Ziyu working inside the kitchen.
With light steps, Ning Zhilian walked towards the back of the kitchen where Zhao Ying and Ning Yueli were absorbed on the mobile in their hands.
Getting curious, Ning Zhilian sat beside them with a gentle smile "What are you looking at? Ying?"
Zhao Ying turned to her "Sister Zhilian, I was just showing the video I took last time we went on a vacation."
"Suddenly a large creature came out of the ocean and Tian'er fought it... I had that video. So, I am showing it to Yueli."
"Later, asking Sister Shenyi, she said that this is called Eldritchfiend."
Ning Zhilian peeked at the mobile screen and saw the large monster Zhao Tian was fighting 'So, this is the Eldritchfiend Freya talking about in the past.'
As she glanced at the face of Zhao Tian on the mobile screen, her eyes wavered and a sigh slipped past her lips.
At this time, a pink fox dashed into the kitchen, followed by Chi Shui who was chasing after it "Ahhh, Lian'er come here..."
Yao Lian jumped around inside the kitchen and went near Fei Lingxi "Is the food ready?"
Hearing her cute voice, Fei Lingxi chuckled "Seems like you have taken a liking to the food in this star."
Yao Lian nodded her head and spoke in a cocky voice "Of course, you should be honored that you get to cook dishes for a royal princess like me...."
Fei Lingxi shook her head helplessly "Yeah... yeah."
...
"Hmm..." Humming a song, Zhao Tian walked downstairs carrying Shi Yixian in his arms like a child, her legs wrapping around his waist.
Shi Yixian who was wearing a revealing t-shirt and shorts, was ashamed and buried her face in his chest.
"My Liege... this kind of dress is so embarrassing."
Zhao Tian glanced down at Shi Yixian's face which was burning a deep shade of crimson and kissed her head affectionately. "You look cute when you are embarrassed, Yixian.."
"In the past, you had an emotionless face and responded with two or three words."
"But see you now... you are more expressive, smiling a lot often and you are blushing like this."
Hearing this, Shi Yixian's gaze trembled and she hugged him closer "Who do you like more? The old me or this me?"
With a chuckle, Zhao Tian kissed her cheek "Of course, I love how you are right now..."
Shi Yixian closed her eyes in her arms and muttered "I rarely show emotions, because since I was born in a family where they serve the Emperor of the Dynasty of Wang... I got strict training since I was young."
"I never got the chance of being a woman, to find love or enjoy my life... all I ever did was train and hone my skills in sword."
"I was like a weapon... to kill the Emperor's enemies and a shield to protect the Emperor from the enemies."
Her eyes trembled in pain as she pushed out the words from her throat "And it was at that time, that Jiu Yang declared war on all the forces in the Astral Realm and a large-scale war among the factions broke out."
"I don't know why... or what artifacts he used, but even with cultivators on the same level surrounding him, we can't defeat him."
"However, in the battle... I managed to give a fatal injury to him."
"And that's why, enraged, that prideful bastard, he destroyed my cultivation and cursed me with his Azure Divine flames... so that I would suffer for as long as I live."
Zhao Tian's gaze squinted as he still remembered the body of Shi Yixian which was filled with burn scars, torturing her for all these years.
Even when he tried to heal her, the flames only intensified.
Shi Yixian continued "And all I can do is run away from there and seal myself in a random middle star with my ice elemental powers."
Zhao Tian gave a nod as it made sense why he found Shi Yixian back in the tomb "Seems like you finally regained all your memories, Yixian."
"Yes, My Liege... if I remember correctly, it's been around 10.000 years since I escaped from the Astral Realm."
Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise as he sat on the couch in the living room, placing her on his lap "That long?"
"Hm. For the people at the pinnacle of the Empyreal realm, it is not a big deal."
Suddenly she stopped as she remembered an important detail "My Liege... I heard this as a rumor in the past, so I am not sure if this is true or not..."
"Jiu Yang is the one who killed the Second Honoured One."
