I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 620

Chapter 620: What happened?
It was already night-

Under the glowing moonlight, Zhao Tian and Li Jia were flying high in the sky above sect grounds, playing around in the air.

“Haa…” Li Jia stretched her arms, arching her back as she let out a tired but content sigh.

Her voice carried a note of satisfaction as she gazed at the skies “Today’s date was so good…”

She twirled once in the air, “The new star was amazing. That waterfall, those different flowers and foods…”

Zhao Tian who was floating beside her smiled faintly “I am glad that you enjoyed the date…”

“Mmm….”

Murmuring under her breath, Li Jia raised her left hand and looked at the ring on her finger glowing under the night sky.

“I am tired, I am going to sleep…”

Without another word, the two of them soared through the night sky, the wind rushing past them as they glided effortlessly toward the dormitories.

The sect grounds below were quiet and peaceful, the faint glow of spirit lanterns dotting the pathways like tiny fireflies.

They landed softly in front of Li Jia’s room and opening the door, both of them entered.

The room was neatly arranged, with shelves, a plush couch in the corner, and a wardrobe standing tall against the far wall.

Li Jia walked over to the wardrobe, her hands deftly working to loosen the clasps of her outer robe as she moved.

Zhao Tian looked at her and smiled “You can enter the artifact anytime you want and you can sleep there.. and cultivate there.”

Li Jia paused for a moment, her hands stilling on the hem of her robe.

Turning to face him, her gaze softened, and a faint smile curved her lips. “Hm, I will do it.”

But her smile quickly shifted to a playful smirk. “Not that it changes anything tonight. I’m tired, so no sex for you.”

Hearing this, Zhao Tian nodded “Well, I have to spend tonight with someone… as I have promised her.”

Li Jia’s gaze narrowed as she slowly walked to him “Some other woman?”

She raised her hand, her fingers clutching his collar, and pulled him closer “Jerk, who is this other woman? is that Elder Jing?”

“No…”

Li Jia’s grip on his collar tightened, and she pulled him even closer until their noses almost touched “Then who?”

“Mhm.. its Velnorah.”

Huh? Li Jia raised an eyebrow in surprise “You and Elder Velnorah? Are you guys seeing each other secretly?”

With a nod, he replied “Yeah…”

Li Jia tilted her head as her gaze narrowed “As Sister Shenyi said, you really can’t keep your dick in your pants, can you? It’s like it’s always on a mission to find new women to fuck around.”

Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh “What can I say? My charm is hard to resist…”

Li Jia couldn’t help but giggle and muttered “Hmm, tonight I’m tired, so I’ll let this… dick of yours off the hook.”

“Tomorrow night, this dick is mine…” As she spoke, she reached out and grasped his crotch over his cloth.

Zhao Tian leaned forward and kissed her “Of course, My Queen.”

Li Jia’s smile widened and she pushed him away “Now, go…”

She turned and flopped onto the plush couch, sinking into its comfort with a contented sigh.

Zhao Tian lingered for a moment, watching her with a fond smile. Then, with a soft chuckle, he turned and exited the room, closing the door behind him.

…

*tap* Zhao Tian landed in the courtyard of Velnorah’s quarters and glanced at Velnorah who was sitting on a bench in the quarters.

Hm? He raised an eyebrow and walked to her “Isn’t it already late? You are still up…”

Looking at him, Velnorah showed a faint smile “Mhm.”

Zhao Tian’s eyes narrowed upon seeing her demeanor and he walked to her, sitting beside her on the bench.

Gently wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her closer “What happened, Velnorah… you seem like you are in a bad mood.”

Velnorah shook her head, leaning onto him “Nothing, Tian…”

Looking at her, his gaze condensed “Velnorah, we have spent a little time together…”

“But I can tell you are in a bad mood. Tell me what happened.”

Her fingers, which had been resting idly in her lap, suddenly curled into the fabric of his robes.

Her lips quivered as she took a shaky breath, and finally, she spoke, “Tian… let’s run away.”

“Let’s run away to some distant star… just us; no one needs to know about us.”

Huh? Zhao Tian blinked in surprise but before he could respond, Velnorah shook her head and let out a bitter laugh. “Forget it. That’s foolish of me. Just… forget I said anything.”

Zhao Tian raised her chin to look at him and his heart clenched when he saw the tears welling in her crimson eyes, threatening to spill over.

Huh? he has always seen her as a playful woman who teases him.. but this is the first time she is showing such vulnerability.

“Velnorah.. what happened? Tell me what’s bothering you?”

Velnorah shook her head as she hurriedly wiped away the tears with the back of her palm “Nothing, Tian… I just remembered something from the past.”

Zhao Tian was still not convinced, as he felt there was something different and she was hiding it from him “Velnorah…”

Velnorah shook her head “No, Tian.. please, don’t ask me… please…”

Seeing this, Zhao Tian closed his lips as he realized it was something she didn’t want to say “I see…”

He just hugged her closer and patted her back soothingly as if reassuring her.

Velnorah buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled against the fabric of the cloth “Thank you, Tian…”

For a while, they stayed silently like that, only the sounds of their breathing and the gentle rustle of the night filling the surroundings.

A little later, Zhao Tian noticed that Velnorah’s breathing had calmed down and saw that she was already asleep.

Smiling, he tenderly moved a strand of hair from her face and saw her beautiful sleeping face glowing in the moonlight.

‘I wonder.. what is she struggling with.’

His eyes crescented in worry as he continued patting her head “Norah…”

Letting out a sigh, he gently picked her up in his arms without waking her up.

As he stood up with her in his arms, he looked up at the sky and a breeze brushed past his face ‘Tomorrow I need to go and meet my new Master…’

“Haa…”

With that, he walked to the quarters carrying Velnorah.
