BXBX NOVEL Chapter 173: A night with Xue!
Zhao Tian who is sitting beside her, pondered, "I am not actually interested in joining this tournament as everyone is obviously so weaker than me."
Ning Xue giggled. "Well, you are a lot stronger for your age. In this tournament, only young talents under the age 50 are allowed to join."
Age 50 is young? Zhao Tian could only smile wryly. But in terms of cultivation age, it is actually very young.
"That's why Tian I want you to join in the name of Royal family and win the tournament. There have been many talents in the Royal Academy, but they are useless in front of those top sects."
She spoke as she took another spoonful of food and brought it near Zhao Tian's lips. Zhao Tian opened his lips and ate her spoon-fed food.
"Even in the last tournament, the Royal Academy lost terribly. Well, I don't really care in the first place, but since you are here, I thought with your help maybe I could win."
Chewing the food, Zhao Tian contemplated the idea. He is not completely against it, and if Ning Xue wants, he can join the tournament.
"I can give you special privileges and directly send you to the second part of the tournament; don't worry."
Zhao Tian chuckled. "What's the prize?"
Hearing this, Ning Xue rolled her eyes but then a playful smile appeared on her lips. She placed the spoon on the table and gently loosened her robes.
Zhao Tian saw the robes loosening from her neck as they cascaded down, but as they reached her chest, they stopped.
As Zhao Tian's gaze lingered on her fair skin and seductive cleavage, and the plumpness of her breasts. His eyes were drawn to a small black mole on her right breast, a tantalizing detail that tempted him to reach out and squeeze them.
He involuntarily reached out to grope her boob but Ning Xue grabbed his hand and spoke in a teasing tone, "Not now, dear... win the tournament, and I'll let you."
Zhao Tian's eyebrow twitched as she clearly baited him. Ning Xue kissed his hand and let go of it as she again corrected her robe.
A sigh escaped Zhao Tian's lips "I actually asked for the tournament prize."
"Ah!" Ning Xue was dumbfounded and giggled "I thought you were asking what prize you would you get from me. Haha."
"Well, if you win the tournament, you will get a storage ring, astral stones, and position as one of the top sects and if I like anyone's performance in the tournament, I will give them a storage ring at that time too."
Zhao Tian got quite curious "You know how to create storage rings?"
Ning Xue shook her head "No, in the past like 200 years ago there was an Artifact creator within the Royal family. But one day he suddenly disappeared. I still have a small stock of what the cultivator left."
Hm. Zhao Tian squinted his eyes, in his guess, that cultivator is most likely from a High star. He then left the rune of to create storage rings as an inheritance by creating that Ancient ruin.
And he must have accidentally built the Ancient ruin above where Shi Yixian was resting.
Ning Xue raised her hand and a storage ring appeared in her palm "Here, Tian youcan have this storage ring. It will be helpful."
Zhao Tian shook his head "I already have one."
"Oh, ok." Ning Xue was not that surprised as in the past that cultivator sold many storage rings around many places in the world, so many strong people still have storage rings.
"So, will you join?"
Zhao Tian gave a nod "Sure."
A sweet smile appeared on Ning Xue's lips as she spoke "I will also declare you as the King of Zhenzhu during the competition."
Eh? Zhao Tian was surprised. "King of the Zhenzhu?"
Ning Xue nodded "Of course, I want everyone to see this Queen's man and the King of Zhenzhu."
"So let's introduce you as my Husband in the competition, as many people from Zhenzhu will be attending the tournament."
Zhao Tian could only chuckle wryly upon hearing this.
Ning Xue suddenly had another idea. "Actually no, let's do this during the celebration of the founding of the Royal Family. A new member in the royal family." she said with a soft smile.
Remembering the Royal Family massacre, Zhao Tian's eyes crescented and as he opened his lips to ask "Xue-" Ning Xue placed her finger on his lips silencing him.
"I know what you want to ask, Tian... but please let's not talk about the past."
Zhao Tian could only sigh and wrapped his hand around her shoulder. Ning Xue too, leaned on him and took another spoonful of food bringing it near his lips. "Here, Tian."
"Spend the night with me, Tian."
Zhao Tian smiled "I heard there will be celebrations today and there will be also fireworks."
Ning Xue nodded her head "Yeah, so let's watch fireworks together and sleep with me."
Hearing her selfish orders, Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Haha." Ning Xue giggled as she liked these sudden kisses.
...
*blast* *crack* The deafening explosion of the firecrackers reverberated across the entirety of the Royal Capital and everyone came out of their residences to look at the mesmerizing display.
Meanwhile, the Queen is with Zhao Tian in the bed as she cuddles with Zhao Tian burying her face on his chest.
"Don't you want to see the fireworks?"
Ning Xue shook her head "No, I am too lazy to get up and go to the balcony."
Zhao Tian's lips curled up in a gentle smile as he placed a comforting hand on her back, feeling the rise and fall of her breathing as she drifted off to sleep.
Ning Xue also didn't want to leave his embrace as she doesn't even remember how long it had been since she slept with someone beside her on the bed.
She lost her parents, sisters, and everyone she held dear in one night.
Hm? Zhao Tian felt her grip on his body become tighter and he also continued to pat her back.
