I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 514

Chapter 514: You rotten bitch [3]
*knock*

“T-Tian..”

Hearing the soft knock on his door, Zhao Tian’s brows furrowed in surprise. The night was already well underway; who would come at this hour?

However, sensing Li Jia’s presence outside, his gaze squinted in thought ‘I almost forgot about her… but what is she doing here now?’

‘Fuck.’

Cursing under his breath, he walked to the door and pulled it open ‘I shall just expalin it to her.’

However, looking at Li Jia kneeling in front of his door, he was startled and hurriedly crouched down beside her.

“Jia?”

As she raised her head, Zhao Tian looked at the blood flowing down her lips and her face is pale.

Moonlight spilled through the open door, casting a cold glow on her figure and accentuating her ghastly appearance.

Huh?

He quickly scanned the surroundings to check if anyone was hiding near them, but there was no one.

‘Did someone attack her? But there is no presence around here.’

“Tian…”

Li Jia struggled to lift her gaze, her eyes glassy and she shakily raised her arm, resting a trembling hand on his shoulder. “T-Tian… y-you… have to… leave. She’s… dangerous…”

As Zhao Tian’s eyes drifted down to her chest, his breath caught looking at the thick, black vine protruding grotesquely from the wound near her heart.

Dark, slick blood oozed around it, staining her robes in dark rivulets.

But still, he couldn’t see it clearly because of the dim moonlight.

What the hell?

Without another word, he scooped her into his arms, her slender frame limp and cold as he brought her into the room.

The smell of blood filled the air, mingling with the faint scent of perfume she always wore.

He delicately placed her on the bed, which was also stained with blood from Li Xueyan.

Turning on the light in the room, Zhao Tian could clearly see the ominous black vine growing on her chest tearing her skin.

Seeing the grotesque state, Zhao Tian hurriedly tore off her robe, revealing her modest boobs and the pink buds stained with blood.

As he was about to try removing the vine, Li Jia hurriedly stopped his hand “Tian wait- *cough*”

With a strained cough, even more blood gushed out of her chest wound and Zhao Tian’s gaze trembled “Jia…”

Li Jia felt the pain had completely stopped a little ago and turned to Zhao Tian “Tian… where is she?”

Taking a soft breath, Zhao Tian muttered “I killed her.”

Huh?

A flash of surprise passed through Li Jia’s face and she closed her eyes as a relieved smile appeared on her lips “Finally, after all these years…”

Zhao Tian was taken aback and asked “You know about her?”

With a faint nod, Li Jia replied “Y-Yeah… a while back.”

He sat down beside her on the bed, rubbing his temples as he tried to process her words. “I don’t understand, Jia. First, let me help you,”

As he spoke, he placed his hand on her chest and closed his eyes, concentrating on his astral energy.

Since he has good control of his astral energy, he gently imbued his fire elemental into her body slowly burning the dark vine rooted in her chest.

“Ah…!” Li Jia cried out, her body arching instinctively against the bed as the fire began to burn through the vines.

Her fingers clenched tightly onto the sheets, her nails digging in as the pain flared. “T-Tian…”

Zhao Tian’s expression softened as he kept his concentration on the flames. “Jia… please. Just hold on. I need a little more time to get rid of this… whatever she’s done to you.”

Li Jia took in a shaky breath and nodded, her face twisted with effort as she fought to remain still. “En,” she whispered, gritting her teeth, her eyes never leaving his face.

She has tolerated even greater pain than this, so this is nothing big for her.

As he concentrated on cleansing the vines, he was aware of every flinch, every tremor that shook her body.

The evil energy resisted his flames, fighting back, like a serpent coiling around her heart, refusing to release its hold.

Zhao Tian’s brow furrowed as he channeled more of his astral fire, burning through layer after layer of the curse.

Gradually, the vine began to retract, its thorns pulling back, shriveling as his fire seared through it.

The blackness faded, replaced by a faint, glowing heat that signaled the curse’s weakening grip.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the vine detached fully, dissolving into ashes as it disintegrated under the purifying force of Zhao Tian’s flames.

Li Jia collapsed onto the bed, her chest rising and falling in deep, labored breaths.

“Huff.. Huff.. *cough*”

As she coughed again, blood splurted from the gaping wound on her chest and Zhao Tian hastily used his light energy to heal her wounds.

Feeling the revitalizing energy flow through her body, Li jia was startled and looked at Zhao Tian in surprise “Light elemental.. huh? Tian.. you.”

After healing her, Zhao Tian placed his hand on the valley between her breasts, and a faint blush colored Li Jia’s face because of his touch.

Feeling the evil energy still emanating from her heart, his gaze squinted ‘There are still traces of evil energy within her… I couldn’t remove it completely.’

As he looked at her blushing face, Zhao Tian retracted his hand from her cleavage and she raised her hand hiding her chest.

“T-Thankyou Tian.. you saved me.”

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and turned his gaze away from her body “How do you feel now?”

With a nod, she replied “I feel a lot better now…”

Zhao Tian took a shirt from his storage ring and gave it to her “Here, wear it…”

Looking at the strange cloth, Li Jia asked “This cloth seems different…” though with a look, she understood how to wear it.

Zhao Tian glanced at her as she wore the shirt and replied “It is from my star.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jia was amused “Oh, you are from a different star? Well, you are so rich, so I guess you could have come here through an ark.”

After she wore the shirt, Zhao Tian glanced at her and asked “tell me, Jia.. what did she do to you and about her.”
