Chapter 367: An Emergency Situation!
Huh? Ning Zhilian frowned in confusion upon hearing the soldier\'s words "The barrier... The inner barrier or the outer barrier?"
There are actually two barriers in Zehnzhu; one is around the Zhenzhu border to protect cultivators from the astral beasts.
The other one is around the astral beast forest to prevent the astral beasts from venturing out of the astral forest.
Basically, the barriers are mainly to keep the astral beasts within the Astral forest.
The soldier\'s body trembled "B-Both barriers, Your Majesty!"
Huh? Ning Zhilian\'s eyes dilated in utter shock "Both barriers?"
Reeling out of the shock, she hastily asked "How long has it been since the barriers are destroyed?"
The soldier shook his head "We do not know about that, Your Majesty."
Ning Zhilian took a deep breath and gave the orders "Prepare for an emergency meeting with all the Ministers and the General. All the Sect Leaders around the Zhenzhu should gather here as soon as possible!"
"Ask the Sect Leaders to send their strongest unit to the borders to protect Zhenzhu from the beast tide."
"Share this information with all the neighboring countries\' leaders and warn their people about the barrier breakdown or evacuate them."
"Y-Yes! Your Majesty!" The soldier hurriedly stood up and went to do what he was ordered.
Ning Zhilian\'s eyebrows furrowed in concern "This is bad... There are so many powerful beasts within the Astral forest, and there might be even beasts at the Monarch Astral Stage."
She mumbled to herself "There is not much distance from Zhenzhu to the neighboring countries. If the astral beasts reached there... it would cause so much destruction."
"The casualties will increase and the most important thing is... the secret which has been held for years would be revealed to the normal people."
"The existence of cultivators in this world."
Her mind raced with thoughts as she panicked "If people really came to know about this cultivation, there would be a lot of chaos..."
"And there are many other factions around the whole world which have cultivators and using this chaos, even they might wreak havoc..."
"Urggh... this is really bad. Little Xue and others are not here during this critical time. Where have they gone?"
"Tian... if Tian is here, he could kill the beasts and stop the beast tide."
"Where is he?"
...
"Hahaha! Brother Tian... throw me up even higher."
Zhao Tian, Ning Yueli, and Chi Shui were bathing in the lake refreshing their bodies after yesterday\'s intense sex.
Zhao Tian and Ning Yueli were swimming in the middle of the serene lake, chuckling and bantering with each other.
"Brother Tian..." Hugging Zhao Tian in the cold lake, Ning Yueli kissed him, her soft wet pink lips caressing his lips.
She gently sucked on his lips tasting the waterdrops on his lips and chuckled "The kiss tastes like this lake\'s water..."
"Of course, we are drenched in it..."
As they floated on the calm lake, Zhao Tian grabbed her waist tightly and threw her up in the air.
"Hahaha!" Ning Yueli was thrown up in the air and as the gravitation pulled her, she dropped towards the lake.
"See my backflip, Brother Tian."
In mid-air, she rotated her body doing a back flip, and crashed onto the lake *splash*
Swimming back to the surface, she raised her chest proudly "So, Brother Tian... how was my backflip?"
With a chuckle, Zhao Tian pinched her cheek "Very good, Yueli..."
Pouting her lips, Ning Yueli wrapped her hands around his neck while encircling her legs around his waist "Call me, Li\'er.. or..dear, or wife... I am your wife now."
"Li\'er."
"Good.." Ning Yueli kissed him and opened her lips, biting on his lower lip.
"Shh..." Zhao Tian winced in mild pain and Ning Yueli laughed teasingly "Hehe..."
She quickly took a handful of water and splashed it on his face "Haha... Brother Tian."
"You." Zhao Tian gently grasped her neck and bit her plum cheek.
"Ahhh.. haha... Brother Tian. It hurts... Hooh... ahahaha..."
-_- Meanwhile, Chi Shui is sitting on the edge of the lake with a white towel covering her body.
She let out a soft sigh looking at Zhao Tian and Ning Yueli happily playing around in the center of the lake.
"If only I knew how to swim..."
Because her legs were fractured when she was young, she didn\'t go for swimming practices and now she doesn\'t know how to swim.
Zhao Tian glanced at Chi Shui who was sitting there silently and swam near to her. Looking at him Ning Yueli also followed him "Brother Tian..."
Floating on the lake, Zhao Tian said extending his hand "Shui\'er... come here. You can hold onto me."
Chi Shui hurriedly shook her head "No, Brother Tian. I am scared."
Ning Yueli jumped and hugged Zhao Tian from behind "If you are scared. You can never learn to swim. So come down... Shui\'er."
"You can also bath naked with Brother Tian like this..." She said kissing Zhao Tian\'s cheek.
Chi Shui still hesitated and asked, "Is the water too deep?"
"Well, yeah... since you are with me, you don\'t have to worry, Shui\'er."
Looking at Zhao Tian\'s reassuring smile, Chi Shui nodded and removed the cloth from her body as she slowly entered the lake.
"Brother Tian..."
Zhao Tian gently held her waist as her lower body submerged into the lake "Shhh.. so cold."
Chi Shui hurriedly entwined her arms around Zhao Tian\'s neck for protection and Zhao Tian hugged her back "Do you want to try swimming?"
"No, No... I don\'t want to. It\'s so scary..."
Zhao Tian let out a chuckle seeing her scarred face and muttered "Then next time, we can bath in the waterfalls or at the Hot springs."
Ning Yueli was surprised and asked "Brother Tian, there are even waterfalls and hot springs in this artifact?"
"Yeah... I can even change this..." As he said, the sun disappeared and the world got darker as the moon appeared in the sky with twinkling stars.
"Woaaahhh, Cool!"
