I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Don’t use that anymore!
Sitting cross-legged in the Alchemy Chamber, Zhao Tian looked at the gleaming pill resting on the silver tray before him.

A satisfied smile curled on his lips as he admired his work.

Leaning back slightly, his gaze narrowed in thought as memories of Yao Jing again hit him.

‘I already promised Shuang that I wont enter ruptures but still…’

Taking a deep breath, he took a watch from his storage ring and clicked on a button on the side.

For a moment, nothing happened… then the device vibrated gently as the surface of the screen glowed blue.

His lips curled into a smile ‘I am surprised it still has battery after all these days…’

A holographic screen flickered in front of him and he quickly called Lyra Talon, the princess of the Ebon Luohe Star.

It rang for a while, but she didn’t pick it up.

‘Is she sleeping?’

He opened the message interface in thoughts of leaving her a message.

A holographic keyboard appeared in front of him, and he typed her a message.

“I’m curious about these ruptures. Send me all the information you have on them, and especially data about any high rupture-prone zones you’ve mapped.”

“If you can send the information to this watch, send it… or if you can’t, we can meet privately.”

After sending the message, his gaze lingered on the screen for a moment before he sighed and fell back on the floor, looking up at the ceiling.

‘Guess I will just sleep in Jing’er’ room here.’

…

Next day morning, the sun slowly rose up in the Jade Eclipse Sect and Zhao Tian rolled in his bed, pulling the quilt over him.

But then, sensing a presence in the upper floor of the Alchemy Chamber, his eyes flickered for a moment.

However, realizing who it was, he just sighed and went back to his sleep.

A few minutes later, he slowly woke up and pushed his body to sit straight on the bed as the cool morning air brushed against his bare skin.

His hair, loose and slightly messy from sleep, hung over his forehead as his sharp, still-sleepy eyes focused on the beautiful figure in front of him.

Qi Nue stood before the mirror, casually brushing her damp hair with a wooden comb.

The morning sunlight streaming through the slightly parted curtains cast a soft golden glow over her figure, making the droplets on her fair skin shimmer like tiny pearls.

The towel she wore clung to her curves, and the edge is dangerously high above her thighs, and the dip between her collarbones was accentuated by every gentle movement of her arms.

She caught his gaze in the mirror and smiled sweetly, seemingly oblivious to how scandalous her appearance was.

“Little brother… good morning.”

Zhao Tian, still half caught between sleep and reality, blinked several times before slowly dragging his gaze away from her bare shoulders, down her smooth legs that glistened with leftover water droplets.

“What… are you doing here in this room, Sister Nue?” he asked, his voice hoarse from just waking up.

Qi Nue giggled softly, turning to face him fully now.

Her hair, wet and sticking slightly to her neck and shoulders, added an even more seductive touch to her appearance, though her innocent smile betrayed none of that awareness.

“Well, the bathroom in the dorm is broken,” she said, tilting her head cutely, “so I had no choice but to come here.”

She gave a playful wink, causing Zhao Tian’s lips to twitch helplessly.

He ran a hand through his long hair and mumbled under his breath, “So… Sister Xue should be coming here too then?”

At that, Qi Nue’s face froze for a split second before she quickly waved her hand, laughing awkwardly. “Haha, no no no! She won’t! Sister Xue… doesn’t bathe often, haha! She is a nasty woman.”

Zhao Tian stared at her for a moment and smiled dryly.

“…I see,”

He stood up from the bed and stretched lazily, his toned body outlined against the dim morning light.

Qi Nue allowed her gaze to shamelessly wander over his body, looking at his chest and abs, before she quickly turned her back to him again, pretending to focus on combing her hair.

Zhao Tian, scratching the side of his head, hesitated for a moment before stepping toward the wardrobe.

“I’ll get dressed and leave you to it, Sister Nue,” he said.

But before he could take two steps, he heard her soft voice behind him…

“You don’t have to leave… I don’t mind if you’re here.”

Zhao Tian froze and he slowly turned his head as his gaze locked with her eyes through the mirror reflection.

Qi Nue continued brushing her hair calmly, as if she hadn’t just dropped an emotional bomb in the room.

Zhao Tian let out a soft chuckle, “Sister Nue, you’re playing with fire early in the morning.”

Qi Nue turned around, facing him boldly with the towel still wrapped around her.

“Oh, am I?” she asked teasingly as she took a step closer to him.

Zhao Tian looked at her for a long moment, but then he smiled and flicked her forehead gently with his finger.

“Go dry your hair properly…”

Qi Nue pouted, rubbing her forehead, “Hmph, bullying me early in the morning…”

Zhao Tian just shook his head helplessly but then her scent hit his senses and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully “Wait, Sister Nue?”

Hm?

Zhao Tian reached out and gently grasped her wrist before pulling her closer.

H-Huh?

Before she could think further, Zhao Tian brought his face closer to hers and she closed her eyes tightly in panic ‘What is happening?! IS HE GOING TO KISS ME?’

‘W-What to do? Should I push him? No, no, what if he pushed me on the bed and make a mess out of me?’

But what she expected never happened…

Zhao Tian tilted his head and caressed his face into her neck, inhaling her scent gently.

Feeling his breath’s warmth and the brush of his cheek on her neck Ni Que flinched for a second “Um…”

Zhao Tian’s gaze narrowed as he pulled back his face “Don’t wear that perfume anymore.”

EH? Qi Nue was taken aback and a quick blush spread across her cheeks ‘W-Wait did he find it out?’

However, she quickly hid her blush and looked at him innocently “Why brother, you don’t like my new perfume?”

Zhao Tian shook his head “Its not that. It does smell nice… but there’s a faint trace of aphrodisiac mixed into it. It’s very subtle, but if you wear this around men, it can mess with their instincts.”

“Prolonged exposure can entice them… maybe even drive them into heat if they’re weak-willed.”

“So, it’s better to avoid that.”

Qi Nue’s heartbeat quickened, as this was the exact reason she bought the perfume in the first place. “O-Oh, I see.. I didn’t know that.”

“I just bought that since it smelled so nice.”

Zhao Tian gave an understanding nod “It’s not your fault. They probably added it to make the scent more alluring. But Sister Nue… it’s dangerous. So, don’t wear it…”

She lowered her head in shame “Y-Yes, Little Brother.”

Satisfied, Zhao Tian reached out and gently ruffled her damp hair, the affectionate touch making her heart skip another beat.

“Good girl,” he said with a small smile before turning around to finally get dressed.

Meanwhile, Qi Nue stood rooted in place, her entire body trembling slightly from the whirlwind of emotions she was feeling.

‘Good girl…’

She felt her lower part getting a bit wet.

‘Ahhh… this little brother is too dangerous!’ Qi Nue thought, squeezing the towel tighter.

Qi Nue sneaked a glance at his back and saw some scars on it ‘Soon… I’ll definitely close this distance between us.’

After wearing his outer robe, Zhao Tian stepped out and left the room.

Qi Nue stood there for a few seconds, staring blankly at the door before finally…

“Arghhh!! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” she groaned, stomping her foot on the wooden floor like an angry little rabbit.

She walked back and forth across the room, muttering furiously to herself as her damp towel slipping slightly with every dramatic step.

“This is all Sister Xue’s fault!!” she fumed in anger.

“Use an aphrodisiac, she said! It’ll work, she said! He’ll pounce on you immediately, she said!”

Qi Nue scowled and imitated her sister’s smug voice mockingly, her cheeks puffed up in frustration.

“Pah! Pounce my foot! I ended up almost dying of embarrassment instead. That dumb bitch!”

Whining pitifully, she threw herself face-down onto the bed, kicking her feet in the air like a child throwing a tantrum.

“But nooo, he sniffed it out immediately. He’s too sharp! How is any woman supposed to make him fall like this?!”

In a fit of rage, she sat up and furiously pulled the towel off her body, flinging it onto the bed.

“Stupid towel! Stupid perfume! Stupid Sister Xue and her dumb ideas!”

Now completely naked, Qi Nue stood in the middle of the room, still muttering complaints as she shook her damp hair out.

“And then! And THEN! He even called me a ‘good girl’ like I’m some kid! AAAHHH!!” she screeched, hugging herself as she shivered in frustration. “I’m not a kid, you big dummy.”

At that exact moment…

Creak.

The door opened slightly, and Zhao Tian’s head peeked in, looking concerned.

“Mm? Sister Nue, I forgot to—”

His words died in his throat.

The room went completely still.

Qi Nue froze in place like a deer caught in headlights.

Her hands were mid-gesture, her mouth was open from mid-rant, and her completely bare body was fully on display under the soft morning light filtering through the curtains.

Her damp black hair clung to her back and shoulders, water droplets gleaming against her fair skin.

Her wide, horrified eyes looked into his stunned blank gaze.

Several long, painful seconds of silence stretched between them.

Then—

“—Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Qi Nue shrieked, diving toward the bed and pulling the quilt up to wrap herself like a panicked cocoon.

Zhao Tian, still expressionless, blinked once… then twice… before calmly closing the door again with a soft click.

On the other side of the door, he stood still for a moment and he closed his eyes.

Inside the room, Qi Nue buried her head under the covers, kicking her legs under the quilt like a madwoman.

“Why?! WHY?!” she howled miserably. “Of all the times he could come back!!”

In the corridor, Zhao Tian sighed deeply, rubbing his temples.

“…I only came back to tell her not to use any of Jing’er’ things in the room…” he muttered under his breath, shaking his head helplessly before walking away.

Meanwhile, in the room, Qi Nue was dying of secondhand embarrassment, plotting whether she should just disappear from the sect for a year to recover.
