BXBX NOVEL Chapter 414: A cold night!
Chuckling, Ning Xia replied "Well, the other sisters liked their time with you when they came for the anniversary... so they asked you."
"Join only if you want to... we are not forcing you."
Ning Zhilian took a quick glimpse at Zhao Tian and her eyes condensed in comtemplation "I will think about it."
"I see..." Muttering under her breath, Ning Xue again closed her eyes in his arms and Zhao Tian gently patted her, his gaze fixated on the sky above.
Ning Zhilian stayed silent as only the noises of soothing night winds and the chirping noises of the crickets echoed in the air.
At this time, Zhao Tian remembered something and turned to Ning Zhilian who was leaning on the balcony railing, "Zhilian, send some Elders from the top sects to the Human world to help them in overseeing the newly awakening people."
A slight frown crept over her eyebrows and she nodded her head "Will be done, Tian..."
Zhao Tian smiled upon hearing this and gazed down at Ning Xue on his chest who was already fast asleep.
Chuckling in his mind, he bent down low and gently lifted her body, cradling her carefully in his arms as he made his way toward the bed.
He softly placed her on the bed, and as he tried to pull back, he saw her fingers still clutching on his shirt.
"Tian..."
Muttering his name, she pulled him to the bed and hugged him tightly, her hands hugging his neck as her legs intertwined with his legs.
Zhao Tian couldn\'t help but chuckle and pulled the white bedsheet covering both of them "It is quite cold, isn\'t it..."
Ning Xue snuggled on him relishing in the warmth radiating from his body heat and muttered quietly "En..."
Ning Zhilian saw this and shook her head helplessly as she again turned her purple eyes to look at the star and the rift of the galaxy.
Her gaze trembled and she breathed under her lips "I wonder... what\'s the future gonna be."
She then turned her head to look at Zhao Tian and Ning Xue who were sleeping on the bed, hugging each other closely.
Looking at the face of Zhao Tian, her eyes condensed uncertainty flickering within them. Yet, after a brief moment of hesitation, she shook her head and flew out from the balcony.
As the wind caressed her face, she dashed through the air, reaching a park in the Royal Capital of Zhenzhu.
*tap* She landed on the ground and glanced at the tombstones in front of her.
Each stone bore the names of those she held dear, and her heart tightened as she recognized the familiar inscriptions of her Father and Mother, etched into the cold granite.
Memories flooded her mind and taking a deep breath, she sat cross-legged on the ground as a mutter slipped past her lips "Mother, Father... I am doing well."
"My Sisters were also doing good. Well, I don\'t know how they are facing the awkwardness of having the same man..."
A smile formed on her lips "But it is true that they are doing good because they have a wonderful man..."
She rolled her eyes "Well, you see... our star has ascended and..."
A few minutes passed as she continued her talk with her parents, telling them about everything that had happened since she last came here.
She stood up and gently bowed her head "Then I am taking my leave, Father, Mother. I will revisit when I have even more stories to tell."
As she slowly turned her head to glance over her shoulder, she saw Zhao Tian standing just a few feet behind her and her body took a screenshot in panic.
"T-Tian..."
She let out a sigh, calming her panicking heart "Why are you always appearing out of nowhere?"
Zhao Tian showed a faint smile and asked "You came to see your parents late at night like this?"
Ning Zhilian gave a slight nod "Yeah. Ever since the day of the coup... I could barely sleep at night, afraid that something might happen again if I slept at night."
She walked past Zhao Tian and he moved, walking beside her along the empty paths in the park.
"So, sometimes... I just come and visit my parents..."
The gentle rustle of leaves and the soft crunch of gravel beneath their feet created a soothing backdrop to their leisurely walk.
Nodding his head, they continued their walk and Ning Zhilian asked "Weren\'t you with Little Xue? Why did you.. come here?"
Zhao Tian let out a light chuckle "Seeing you leaving, Xue\'er is the one who asked me to go and check on you..."
"I see..." Ning Zhilian muttered under her lips and hugged herself, rubbing her hands for heat, bearing the cold.
She turned her her head to Zhao Tian and asked "What kind of gentleman are you? There is a woman who is suffering in cold beside you.."
"You could atleast lend your jacket."
-_- Zhao Tian smiled dryly "You are a cultivator..."
Hearing this, Ning Zhilian\'s lips twitched "You know that\'s cultivator\'s skin are not always thick.. If it was, we wouldn\'t even be able to feel our own skin."
Chuckling, Zhao Tian removed his jacket revealing the black t-shirt underneath and placed the jacket around Ning Zhilian\'s shoulders.
"So, how about now... the Queen of Zhenzhu?"
As she felt the lingering wamth of his body heat on the jacket, a playful giggle escaped her lips as she turned to him, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Good..." she said, her voice light and teasing.
They continued their walk on the park and Ning Zhilian glanced at him in the corner of her eyes "By the way... Tian, Little Xue said that you will be leaving to High Stars, is that necessary?"
Zhao Tian gave a nod "Yeah..."
"I see..." She didnt want to pry much into him, so she stayed silent, letting the cold wind tousle her hair.
"Let\'s return..."
*swoosh* Both of them landed on the balcony and Ning xue raised her head from the pillow "Tian..."
Her gaze squinted, looking at his jacket around Ning Zhilian\'s shoulders and Zhao Tian crawled to her on the bed.
"Xue\'er..."
Ning Xue againt nestled into his arms and he hugged her back, their legs entwining.
Looking at them, Ning Zilian glanced away and removed the jacket from her body.
She came and sat on the bed beside Zhao Tian and slowly lay beside him, still a safe distance between them.
As she glanced at his back, she muttered in her heart \'Since he is here, everything will be alright...\'
...
Meanwhile, at the same time, two large arks were moving in space at a rapid speed, and on one of the arks, a handsome middle-aged man, wearing blue and black cloak is sitting on the luxurious seat.
The man then turned his head to look at the man who was standing behind him and uttered "What was his name again?"
"Your Highness, its Zhao Tian."
