I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 506

Chapter 506: The Sisters’ past [1]
Sitting in the sect’s courtyard, Zhao Tian glanced at the moon glowing in the sky, its light illuminating the world below them.

As he felt a presence behind him, he turned his head to look at Li Xueyan and smiled gently “Xueyan…”

Eh? He was quite surprised as Li Xueyan’s face had a faint touch of makeup, a pink blush softening her cheeks.

Li Xueyan quickly sat beside him on the bench and leaned her head on his shoulder “Why did you suddenly call me out on a night like this…” she asked placing a hand on his thigh, her fingers curling up.

Hearing the shyness in her tone, Zhao Tian sighed in his heart ‘I just called her to have a talk, but seems like she thought of something else…’

‘How can I bring that topic when she is like this?’

Letting out a soft sigh, he muttered “I just want to spend some time with you, nothing much.”

Oh…

Li Xueyan’s heart fluttered, and her hold on his arm tightened slightly.

She gently rested her cheek against his shoulder, her body relaxing as she let out a contented sigh.

Time passed as both of them sat there silently, with the chirping of some insect noises filling their ears.

Eventually, after what felt like hours of quiet comfort, Li Xueyan lifted her head. The cold night breeze played with strands of her hair, brushing them across her face.

“By the way… Tian, Jia pulled you aside earlier today. What happened after that?” she asked, her tone casual but with a hint of curiosity.

Zhao Tian glanced at her and muttered “She pulled me to the training chambers and we were sparring for some hours, that’s it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xueyan gave a faint nod “I see…”

Gently intertwining his fingers with hers, he asked “And I was speaking with Jia… why she hates you.”

Hearing this, Li Xueyan’s gaze trembled and she spoke “She must have told you that I killed our father.”

“Yeah… Xueyan, did you really?”

H-Huh? Li Xueyan’s face went pale, and she shook her head quickly, her voice rising in panic. “No, Tian! I didn’t… I didn’t kill my father!”

Her breath came in shaky bursts, and her fingers tightened around his hand, as if trying to hold onto him, hold onto something solid in that moment.

Zhao Tian’s frown deepened seeing her scared expression and gripped her fingers tightly “Xueyan, tell me the truth… Jia told me that she saw you killing your father and his friend.”

Tears moistened li Xueyan’s eyes as she remembered the terrific day “W-Why are you making me remember that.. Tian.”

Li Xueyan took a deep, shaky breath, wiping the tears from her cheeks. She met his gaze, her eyes full of sorrow and determination. “You want to know the truth, right? Fine… I’ll tell you,” she whispered.

…

A few years ago-

It was a dark rainy day-

Amidst the noises of the heavy rain, Li Xueyan heard the knocking sound from the front door.

As her room was downstairs, she quickly got down from her bed and made her way towards the front door.

*creek* Opening the door, she saw two men standing outside, drenched in rain and she could sense the strong smell of alcohol from them.

“F-Father?” she stammered, her voice trembling as she recognized the middle-aged man in front of her, struggling to stay upright, leaning heavily on the other figure beside him.

The man supporting her father let out a dry, humorless chuckle, his breath reeking of alcohol as well. “Looks like your father had a bit too much to drink tonight. I just came to make sure he got home safe.”

“Y-Yeah…” Li Xueyan hurriedly nodded and opened the door fully for them to enter.

She pointed at the living room couch and spoke, “Place my father there.. I will go and bring towels for both of you.”

As she left for her room, the man looked at her back with a hint of lust in his eyes as he licked his lips “Just as you told… your daughter does look very beautiful.”

Her father, who had been pretending to be drunk, straightened up slightly, a cold smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “I told you… didn’t I? She’s yours for the night.”

A little later, Li Xueyan came back with two towels in her hand and extended one of them to the men standing “Here, you can use it…”

The man smiled wickedly and directly gripped her wrist as his gaze lingered on her chest “You can warm me up in another way tonight.”

H-Huh?

Li Xueyan was startled and hurriedly pulled back her hand “What are you….” her heartbeat raising in panic.

Her father, who had been silent until now, stood up with a sorrowful expression on his face. “Please, Yan’er… just this once. Do this for me.”

H-He is sober this whole time?

Li Xueyan panicked even more and muttered “Father.. what is this?”

The man laughed wickedly and spoke “Your father lost the bet.. and his loss is his eldest daughter, for tonight, you belong to me.”

Li Xueyan’s breath hitched in her throat, and her eyes darted to her father, searching for any sign that this was some kind of sick joke.

But the cold, detached look in his eyes shattered any hope she had.

Father?

He smiled softly, as though his words weren’t ripping her world apart. “Just endure it, Yan’er. It’s only for tonight.”

“W-What the hell are you saying to your own daughte-”

Her father cut short her words “I have raised you all these years after your mother died and you are complaining?”

“I already got my money.. tch, I just thought of using your body for money.”

Li Xueyan shook her head “N-No.. this is wrong, I won’t let you….” she spoke, slowly backing away from them.

*woosh* Suddenly she felt a pressure on her and her gaze flickered to the man’s wicked smile as he licked his lips “I am also a cultivator, dear… I like it when they resist, I shall train you properly in the bed.”

Feeling the pressure building upon her, her eyes quivered ‘I-I can still handle it.. he is just one level above me it seems.’

As she gritted her teeth to stand the pressure she tried to move her body.

The man slowly made his way towards her, enjoying the panic on her face.

“Struggle more.. kukekeke.”
