74 Chapter 74
Next morning,
The morning sunlight fell on her eyes through the window. Feeling discomfort, the alchemy goddess opened her eyes. The first thing that she saw was the sleeping face of the pervert dragon king lying next to her.
“You pervert”
Bang!
Aditya fell to the floor from the sudden and unexpected kick from his wife who was more like a bully.
Ouch! “That hurts. Why did you do that?” Aditya rubbed his stomach while shamelessly exposing his abs.
“Why are you sleeping on my bed?”
“I was starting to feel cold and besides sleeping on the floor is no fun so I took a little space since the bed was very big.” Aditya innocently explained. After 11 hours of flying, beating the thugs, and rescuing the children, he was very tired. He didn’t even realize it when he moved onto the bed and slept there.
“Next if you do that, I will bit you to death.” The kitten fiercely glared at him as if someone had invaded its territory.
Sigh!.
“You know we will be sleeping in the same room when we go to your parent’s house.” Hearing this her face flushed for a second before she glared back at him.
“Even if we sleep in the same room, I never said that I was going to allow you to sleep on my bed. Letting you sleep on the floor is already too much. If you ever cross the line, I will never let you sleep in my room.”
Aditya looked at her long legs which were exposed as she slept in her cute pajamas. He has to admit, touching those line slender and smooth legs will feel very satisfying. “Sooner or later, this little bunny will be eaten by this dragon.”
“What did you say?” Feeling his eyes, Julia regretted wearing short pajamas. She quickly covered her legs with the blanket.
“Nothing” Aditya got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

“Alright, listen to me, Leo, the adventurers I have hired you will take you to the capital of Istarin Kingdom. After entering the Istarin Kingdom, if you ever find yourself in trouble, just show this letter to the guards they will take you to meet the nearest governor.” The letter Aditya gave Leo had his dragon scale in it. In that letter, he had asked Watson to look after the children and also give cultivation resources to Leo.
By the time Aditya and Julia went to bed, it was already past midnight. Aditya and Julia slept very late and also woke up late. After waking up, they had breakfast and then bought some clothes for everyone.
“I adventurers that I have hired are all 2nd-order cultivators. The journey will take at least 1 week time. Make sure to use the money I gave to buy food supplies. Lastly, always stay cautious.” Leo nodded his head.
“Then we will take our leave.”

“Hey! How long till we reach the Kingdom of Nyland?” After leaving Leo, Aditya and Julia have been flying for another 5 hours straight. They only had a few hours of daylight.
“Princess we have flying at full speed for 5 hours now. You should see the Nyland border anytime soon.” And just as Aditya said after 3 minutes, the Nyland border and fortress came into their view. After another hour of flying, Aditya and Julia reached the nearest city.
Being the strongest Kingdom in the eastern region of the Dying isle continent, the Nyland Kingdom was the only kingdom that had teleportation arrays. Each big city had a teleportation array connecting them.
“So this is Northriver city.” From the sky, Aditya and Julia could see the entire city.
Just like any other city in this world, the North river city was also reinforced with high walls with guards constantly patrolling the city walls. The city is very bigger and had over 2 million people of different races living in it.
“Let’s enter.” With fake identities, Aditya and Julia successfully managed to enter the city and made their way to the teleportation array.
Just like Aditya, hundred of thousands of people from all big and small kingdoms in the eastern region traveled to this city to use the teleportation array. The teleportation array would take everyone to the capital and from there using the grand teleportation array, one can teleport to different regions of the dying Isle continent.
At the center of the city, more than ten thousand people were standing in lines. Whether it was noble or duke from other kingdoms, everyone regardless of their identity had to stand in the line and wait for their turn.
“How many people?”
“Two”
“Which city?”
“To the capital.”
“Alright. VIP ticket or normal ticket”
“This is the first time we are actually using the teleportation array. So can you please tell us the difference between a VIP ticket and a normal ticket?”
Aditya asked the receptionist. To stand in lines, people had to get tickets. Julia and Aditya were also here to tickets. “Using a VIP ticket, you won’t have to stand in line. But be warned the VIP tickets are very expensive.”
“Alright give me VIP tickets?” The receptionist lady glanced at Aditya and Julia in surprise. Looking at their clothes they didn’t really think that they would be rich enough to afford VIP tickets.
“Alright. I will need both of your names.” The receptionist didn’t change her expression even for a small second. She always had a professional smile on her face.
After telling her their fake names, the receptionist took out two jade slips and wrote their names on them. “Here. Take this. 2000 gold coins.” After paying the money, Aditya took the jade slips. The Jade slips shined in bright green light when he took them in his hand.
“Next” While Aditya took Julia to stand in the line.
After a minute of standing, one of the guards came noticing the green glow on the jade slip. “Sir, can you please show me both of your tickets?”
“Please come with me.” All the guards were strictly ordered to behave respectfully and politely to everyone.
Under the envious gazes of thousands of people who were standing in the long and never-ending line, Aditya and Julia were taken to the teleportation array.
At the center, there was a large rune circle. The rune circle was about 50 meters big. The circle was made from 4 big circles of runes. Aditya observed the runes for a second and felt dizzy. He realized this rune circle was at least 4th-star. At his current level, just looking at these complex runes felt like his head was getting dizzy.
[The teleportation array is going to start in the next 10 seconds. The array will take everyone to the capital. Those who do not wish to go there, please step down from the teleportation array.]
[10, 9, 8….] Aditya and Julia looked at each other and smiled. He took her right hand. He can feel with each passing second she was getting more and more excited and also impatient. It looks like she couldn’t wait to see her parents.
[3….2….1] A 50 meters big green circular barrier formed around the rune circle. The next moment, Aditya felt the space around him is being twisted and bent.
[Welcome to the capital of Nyland Kingdom, the Adrapore city]

In the northwest region of the dying isle continent, there was a city called Apogale city. Apogale city was a part of the Kingdom of Echo Dominion. Kingdom of Echo Dominion was one of the biggest and most strongest kingdoms on the entire continent of the Dying Isle.
[Welcome to Apogale city.]
“Finally I have returned home.” Like an excited child, Julia pulled Aditya’s right hand. She ignored the words of the guards and kept jumping and running here and there. This was her birthplace. This was the city where she was born. How can she not be excited after returning to her home city after such a long time?
“Slow down, Julia.” Since both Aditya and Julia were in disguise no one recognized them. The resident of Apogale city was very familiar with the one and only daughter of the Onard noble household.
While walking on the streets of Apogale city, Aditya took some time to observe the city. The city was built more advanced than the cities in the eastern region of the continent. Aditya had heard that the people in this region are most rich and cultivators were more powerful when compared to other regions.
Due to this, the northwest region is considered the capital or most important place of the Dying Isle continent. It is said that if the kingdoms of this region wanted, they easily could have conquered the entire continent given how strong their military powers is.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the entire continent mostly revolved around the northwest region. When compared to other regions, the northwest region was more prosperous and had more population density. Around 50% of the continent’s population lived in this region.
“Julia slow down.” Julia didn’t listen to Aditya at all. She excitedly runs all the way to her home.
Standing in front of the big Mansion, Julia’s entire body trembled slightly with overwhelming emotions. She still remembers the day when she left this mansion with her butler Watson. That day was one of the saddest days of her life.
But now looking back, she didn’t have a trace of regret in her heart. She found someone special. Someone who can make her feel safe and secure. “Shall we go in?” Aditya asked with a gentle smile.
Julia nodded feeling very warm in her heart.
“Stop who are you?”
Sigh!
“Here we go again”
