I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Treasure?!
As the morning sun cast its glow on the world, the sunrays peeked through the balcony into an opulent room in the royal palace.

A woman was lying on the sofa bed, her green hair cascading around the pillow and at this time, her eyelashes fluttered, her green eyes brimming in the sunlight.

Her eyebrows frowned in confusion as she looked at the unusual ceiling and the memories of yesterday flooded her mind.

*gasp* Gasping in shock, she quickly looked down on her abdomen and removed the quilt that was covering her.

There, she saw the robes on her abdomen were torn open and the serious injury was already healed.

Huh? Her gaze narrowed in confusion and her eyes glimpsed around at the grand room.

At this time, she sensed a presence in the room and she gently got down from the bed, walking towards the nearby balcony.

Her eyes glimpsed at the handsome man sitting on the wooden bench with closed eyes, his face shining golden under the morning sunlight.

‘He is the one who fought me yesterday. He treated me?’ She mumbled in her mind, looking at her abdomen.

She looked around at her body and noticed the other area of the robes was not torn; only the robes on her abdomen were torn.

A glint of amusement danced in her eyes. ‘He seems like a good guy…’

Muttering to herself, she again went inside the room and took a set of bluish white robes from her storage ring.

With a soft sigh, she began to remove the torn robes and put on the new robes she had just took.

After a while, she emerged from her room, walking toward the balcony, and saw that the young man had already woken up, stretching his muscles.

Letting out a sigh, Zhao Tian leaned on the railing of the balcony looking at Zhenzhu and hearing faint footsteps, his eyes flickered to the left to see the beautiful woman who was walking towards him.

“Oh, you woke up.”

The woman had a stoic face and nodded her head, a tinge of gratitude in her voice as she spoke, “Thank you for saving me.”

Zhao Tian nodded his head and took a quick glimpse at her abdomen. “How do you feel now?”

The woman muttered her voice gentle “Better than before. I feel refreshed.”

With a slight nod, Zhao Tian turned his eyes to the beauty of Zhenzhu and the woman also leaned on the balcony beside him.

Glancing at him in the corner of her eyes, the woman spoke “By the way, My name is Rui Lian, and..”

Zhao Tian looked at her and spoke “You can just call me Tian.”

“Tian.” Rui Lian muttered under her lips, memorizing his name in her mind.

Both of them stood there silent, a little bit of awkwardness prevailing between them as this was the first time they were meeting each other.

Only the sound of the morning birds was heard and sensing her awkwardness, Zhao Tian asked “How did you get that injury? You escaped from your star?”

Rui Lian gently shook her head “No, I was coming towards this star in my flying ark and was suddenly attacked by space pirates.”

Huh? Pirates? In space? Zhao Tian was dumbfounded to hear this and was amused at the same time.

“Under their attack, my flying ark was almost destroyed so I escaped from them with my haven stone, which is like an emergency pod.”

So that’s the white stone, she was in? Zhao Tian thought in understanding.

“When I opened my eyes, I saw you. My vision was blurry so I couldn’t clearly see your face and I attacked instinctively.”

Zhao Tian had a slight frown on his face as he looked at the woman “Why do you want to come to a middle star from your high star?”

Hearing the question, Rui Lian hesitated as the reason is a secret only known to her and her master.

Noticing her hesitation, Zhao Tian just stayed silent as another awkward atmosphere prevailed.

Her green eyes glanced at Zhao Tian, still pondering whether to say anything about it or not.

‘He saved me and he surely does not have any ill intentions towards me and I also need someone’s help to navigate in this middle star.’

“I actually came here in search of my family treasure.”

Hm? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow hearing this “Your family treasure? In this middle star?”

Rui Lian nodded faintly “Even I was shocked when I saw the signal pointed toward this middle star. I don’t know why my family would leave their treasures in this middle star?”

The frown on Zhao Tian’s face deepened. “Signal pointing towards this middle star?”

With a nod of her head, Rui Lian raised her hand as a purple necklace appeared on her palm.

A flash of surprise crossed Zhao Tian’s face, looking at the intricate patterns in the purple necklace.

The woman spoke “This is the necklace left by our Ancestors. They said that there are treasures saved in a star for the future generation and this necklace would guide us towards the treasure.”

Zhao Tian let out a chuckle hearing her words “In your stars, you call Eldritchfiends as treasures?”

Huh? Rui Lian was confused and narrowed her eyes “When did… Eldritchfiends enter our conversation?”

Zhao Tian pointed his finger at her necklace and said, “I have seen this patterns before.”

What? Rui Lian was stunned and hastily asked “Where? Where did you saw these patterns?”

“I saw these patterns in a giant box which was sealing the Eldritchfiends.”

H-Huh? A box sealing the Eldritchfiends? Rui Lian’s eyebrows squinted in confusion as she thought of his words.

“No… that must be a different pattern This is a pattern created by our ancestors. It is not used to seal Eldritchfiends.”

Zhao Tian shrugged his shoulders “Its not my concern if you believe it or not. I am just stating the fact.”

Seeing his confident eyes, Rui Lian’s heart trembled ‘These pattern on Eldritchfiends?’

“Then show me the proof, take me there now and show me those patterns.”
