I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: After four months!
*splash* The warm water rippled as Zhao Tian leaned back into the spacious marble bathtub, lost in his own thoughts and beside him, Xia Shenyi was sitting silently, a pang of guilt on her face.

“Tian…” She moved closer to him as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

“Are you… mad at me?”

Shaking his head, Zhao Tian looked at her, a soft smile spreading across his lips “No… I understand what you meant, Shenyi.”

“I am not angry at you…”

Xia Shenyi leaned forward kissing his cheek “This is for just a few years… you have to work hard and after that, you can enjoy as much as you want.”

“Just these few years, work hard for yourself and us…”

With a nod, Zhao Tian leaned forward, kissing Xia Shenyi’s lips “Thank you, Shenyi…”

Xia Shenyi blinked in mild confusion, pulling back slightly to look into his eyes. “Thank me?”

“Yeah…” His voice trailed off as he leaned backward on the bathtub…

“I was quite disheartened that I can’t see my wives for four years… but after hearing your words, I remembered again.”

He turned his head to look at her again, his eyes soft yet determined “I have to work hard and need to become powerful enough so that my wives can live happily…”

“By the next time they come out, I should be powerful enough to protect them in these High Stars.”

Xia Shenyi’s lips curled into a soft smile as she listened to his words, her heart swelling with affection

Then, as if remembering something important, Zhao Tian’s eyes widened slightly. “Wait, Shenyi… Time flows differently inside the artifact, doesn’t it?”

Hearing this, Xia Shenyi chuckled “Yeah, it should be only two years in the outside world…”

Zhao Tian let out a small sigh of relief, realizing that the time away from his wives wouldn’t be as long as he initially thought. “I see… that’s good to know.”

“And Tian… only three and half months passed in the outside world… for the seven months you were in seclusion inside the artifact.”

“Zhilian has been waiting for you…”

His eyes softened at the mention of Ning Zhilian. “Zhilian… she didn’t enter seclusion with the others?”

Xia Shenyi gave a nod “Yeah… she said that she promised you something…”

Zhao Tian couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this as his eyes softened and muttered “So there are you, Zhilian, Yixian, Ziyu, Lingxi, and Lian who are left.”

“Hmm,” Xia Shenyi murmured, leaning her head on his chest. They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, letting the warmth of the bath and each other’s presence calm their thoughts.

Suddenly, the peace was interrupted by the sound of the door to the bathroom slamming open. *thud*

“My Liege!”

Looking at Shi Yixian, Zhao Tian smiled faintly “Yixian..”

Shi Yixian hurriedly walked to him “I went into your room to see you, but you are not there…”

As she reached the bathtub, without hesitation, she began removing her clothes, her hands moving swiftly as she disrobed and in moments, she was naked, and she quickly hopped into the bath beside him.

*splash* The water rippled as she submerged herself, immediately wrapping her arms around him. “My Liege…” she breathed, her body pressing against his as she embraced him tightly.

“Yixian…”

She leaned forward, taking his lips in a sweet kiss and proactively slipped her tongue into his mouth.

Zhao Tian also reciprocated her intense kiss and intertwined her tongue with hers.

When the kiss finally broke, Shi Yixian rested her forehead against his, her breathing heavy as she looked into his eyes.

“I missed you, My Liege,” she whispered, her voice filled with longing.

Hugging her waist, he smiled tenderly “Me too…”

Xia Shenyi who was leaning on his shoulder uttered “I asked Zhilian to stay outside of the artifact because if she is outside… we just need to wait 3 and half hours.”

“Hm? She is in the Zhenzhu palace… but that place?”

“No, Tian… she is.”

…

“Haha…”

A soft chuckle escaped Zhao Tian’s lips as he glanced at the large house in front of him “It’s really been a while since I came back to my own home…”

Walking to the front door, he knocked on it.

Wearing a pink tank top and shorts, Ning Zhilian, who was watching TV in the living room, was startled by the sudden knock as no one came to Zhao Tian’s home.

Placing the remote on the couch, she stood up and went to the front door.

As she looked through the peephole, she saw an incredibly handsome man standing outside.

Seeing Zhao Tian, her heart raced and she hurriedly opened the door, an excited smile appearing on her face.

“Zhi-”

“TIAN!”

She threw herself around him and hugged his neck tightly, as tears moistened her eyes.

Zhao Tian sighed and hugged her waist, pulling her closer “I missed you, Zhilian.”

“Me too..”

Gently pulling back from the hug, Ning Zhilian cupped his cheek and leaned forward kissing him, as a drop of tear dribbled down her cheek.

Zhao Tian’s left hand traveled to her neck as he closed his eyes letting himself sink in the kiss.

After a minute of kissing, Ning Zhilian slowly pulled back from the kiss, her gaze lingering on his lips.

Not being able to control herself, she kissed him but this time more fervently as she sucked and bit on his lower lip, her fingers caressing his jaw.

“Haa…”

Retracting the kiss, Ning Zhilian gaze grew gentle “It’s been only four months.. but I feel like I have been waiting for so long.”

Zhao Tian let out a chuckle and she gazed at his face “You have gotten even more handsome…”

Smiling, Zhao Tian let his hands get lower as he cupped her ass cheeks and lifted her off the ground.

She obediently wrapped her legs around his waist as they entered in and the door closed. *thud*

Her hands were securely around his neck as she spoke “Little Xue and all of your wives… went into seclusion.”

Zhao Tian nodded his head “Yeah…”

“Sister Shenyi… asked me to enter the seclusion too, but I refused… because I made a promise… that I will accept you and want you to wear this ring for me.”

As she spoke, a beautiful ring appeared in her hand.
