BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161: Talk continues!
"You are not from Zhenzhu, so you reached the 7th level of Emperor Astral Stage just from the low amount of astral energy available in the human world?"
"That is really... amazing." Ning Xue muttered in wonder.
Zhao Tian let out a soft chuckle as he got down from the bed and walked toward the balcony. With a soft sigh, he leaned on the balcony railing looking at the breathtaking view of Zhenzhu from the top of the Royal Palace.
Ning Xue continued to mutter "My cultivation speed is higher than others because of the Pure Yin physique, so his cultivation speed is like that because of his physique?"
"But still... just 21 years old?"
As she shifted her eyes towards him, she caught sight of him resting against the balcony, his hair playfully tousled by the soft caress of the breeze.
"Tian..." she called him softly, as she got down off the bed, walking near him.
"Hm?" Zhao Tian smiled hearing his name for the first time from her lips. Moving close to him, she raised her hand pinching his waist "Now say my name too."
Zhao Tian gently took her hand which was pinching him and Ning Xue intertwined her fingers with him "What\'s your name again?"
Ning Xue squinted her eyes "You don\'t know this Queen\'s name?"
Zhao Tian continued to tease and shrugged "I told you I am not from Zhenhzu..."
Ning Xue frowned her eyebrows and she felt it weird as she had never introduced herself to someone before "My name is Ning Xue."
Zhao Tian gave a slight nod "Ning Xue."
Hearing her name, a faint smile formed on Ning Xue\'s lips and she also leaned on the balcony standing beside him.
"So how does it feel to be the man of the Queen of Zhenzhu?" she asked looking down at the multitude of buildings and sects, pill shops etc.
Zhao Tian glimpsed at her and looked at the proud, arrogant smirk on her face "Pretty nice."
Ning Xue spoke keeping her smile "I never really thought that I would find a man for myself... haah, this feels so new to me."
She couldn\'t help but chuckle to herself "I wonder how Yu Hua will react..."
"Yu Hua?" Zhao Tian turned his eyes at her and asked, a little curious.
Ning Xue nodded her head "Yeah, she is my friend... well, more like a sister to me. Her family has been the one serving under the Royal Family for ages."
"She is really powerful, she is in the 8th level of Monarch Astral Stage almost breaking through the 9th level of Monarch Astral Stage. So just below me."
"She is called the Battle Maiden of the Royal Family."
Battle Maiden Yu Hua? he also remembers hearing the name from the Ombudsman once. "You have any portraits of her?" Zhao Tian asked, intrigued.
Ning Xue raised her eyebrow "Her portrait? Well, I do have one..."
Ning Xue raised her palm and an Envisage shard appeared on her hand. Zhao Tian reached out and took the Envisage shard in his hand.
Looking through the Envisage shard, he saw a light blonde-haired woman and he instantly recognized her as it was the same woman who helped him when he cleared that Evil Sect in the past.
\'This is Yu Hua?\' he mumbled in his mind.
"So you are in the 9th level of Monarch Astral Stage?" Zhao Tian asked and Ning Xue nodded her head a faint arrogant smile playing on her lips.
"Of course I am, but my attacks are not effective because of the meridian strain on my body." she muttered and as she tried to flow her astral energy through her body, she was taken aback.
"H-Huh? I can control the astral energy in my body easily... how? My excessive Yin energy?"
Zhao Tian smiled looking at her "I can also absorb Yin energy from touch, so I absorbed your excessive Yin energy."
"Y-You can do that?" Ning Xue was amazed and was also overjoyed in her heart. Now, with this... she doesn\'t have to suffer.
*knock* *knock* at this time, they heard a knock on the door, and the female servant\'s voice was heard "Your Majesty, the Sect master of the Lunar Blossom Pavillion is here to meet you."
"Xin\'er?" Ning Xue muttered under her breath.
Zhao Tian spoke "Well, then... I am leaving."
H-Huh? Ning Xue was startled "Where are you going? You can stay here... I will send Xin\'er off and tell her to come later."
Zhao Tian shook his head "No, I am not leaving because of her. I also have other things to do." he said as he tossed the Envisage shard to her.
He jumped from the balcony and instantly flew away from the Royal palace.
Looking at the retreating figure of Zhao Tian, Ling Xue narrowed her eyes "An important job more than spending time with this Queen?"
"He must have gone to any of his women."
A cold glint passed through her golden eyes "I want to see who are those bitches that dared to woo my man."
"Enter in." Ning Xue spoke and Ling Xin entered in, her worry evident on her face as she asked in concern "Sister Xue are you alright?"
Ning Xue nodded her head "Yeah, I am alright... How did the meeting go?"
Ling Xin shook her head helplessly as she sat on the couch "The Royal Ministers and the Sect Masters of other sects didn\'t give me face since I am from a weak sect compared to them."
"It was quite awkward as they didn\'t listen to me. But I managed it by saying your name and yeah, the meeting went well."
Ning Xue squinted her eyes and replied "I see..." but her thoughts were consumed by Zhao Tian as he suddenly left like that.
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in Royal Capital-
A woman leisurely walked through this bustling street, her long hair and beautiful green eyes instantly captivating everyone.
The woman had a sly smirk on her face "It\'s been years since I entered the Royal Capital."
Her eyes darted around and she saw some women "Heh, surely the woman here looks more delicious than the ones from the red light district."
"I will taste these later, I have some favorite bitches I have to taste first." she muttered, her wicked smile widening.
