I alone am the Honoured One!-Chapter 790: Ah shit, here we go again [7]

*creek* Opening the door, a woman stepped out of the room.

Her long silver hair flowed down her shoulders as she glanced around curiously.

"It’s really been a while..." She muttered, her silver eyes crescenting with a faint thought.

She walked through the corridor, and at this time, sensing her presence, Velnorah hurriedly rushed upstairs.

As soon as Velnorah reached in front of the woman, she blinked in surprise.

"Huh? An elf?" She muttered, looking at the beautiful woman in front of her with pointed ears like an elf.

Freya Arainwen Everglade’s gaze narrowed "A vampire?"

They both looked at each other in confusion, and their gazes condensed though neither raised a hand.

Velnorah’s thoughts spiraled ’Without Tian’s permission, no one can enter the artifact.. so this must be someone he knows.’

She took a step forward and asked "Do you know Zhao Tian?"

Hearing his name Freya’s gaze softened and she nodded her head "I know the Honoured One very well..."

"Freya!"

At this time, Xia Shenyi reached there and hurriedly rushed to her "You are out of your seclusion, you darn bitch."

Freya blinked in surprise, but then she let out a warm chuckle.

As Xia Shenyi reached her, she raised her arms and hugged her tightly "I thought you would take another decade to come out of the seclusion."

Freya hugged her back, one hand gently stroking the Shenyi’s back with a bittersweet smile "Time flows differently when you’re split in two."

Shenyi pulled back, holding Freya by the shoulders "Both you and Leya are alright, right?"

Placing a hand on her chest, Freya replied, "Yeah, both are alright. Leya is sleeping right now."

Velnorah stepped closer, now with a more respectful tone. "Multiple souls?"

Freya glanced at her with a faint smile "Something like that."

Velnorah lowered her head slightly "If Tian trusts you enough to let you walk within the artifact, then I will not question your presence."

Freya turned toward the vampire, "Thank you."

Xia Shenyi exhaled heavily "Damn, it’s good to have you back, Freya. Things have been... tense lately."

Hearing this, Freya’s gaze condensed "I see, Tell me about it."

...

The dense spatial energy howled softly across the barren wastelands, dragging dust in swirling eddies around jagged rocks and broken earth.

Zhao Tian and Yan Zijin are walking through the barren wastelands while she is carrying the unconscious woman on her shoulder.

With a thoughtful gaze, Zhao Tian was murmuring something under his breath "One up there, then one on the back... hmm."

Yan Zijin looked at him curiously and asked "What are you mumbling about?"

Looking at her, he replied with a shrug "Just counting."

Yan Zijin raised an eyebrow in amusement "Are you counting numbers because you are bored?"

Hm? He let out a small laugh and shook his head "No, I was counting the number of moles on your body."

what?

-_-

Yan Zijin was dumbfounded and stood there silently as she gave him a flat look.

Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he muttered "Well I have been seeing your body for a few days now."

Her lips twitched in frustration "You shameless disciple."

Zhao Tian continued, holding up a finger. "There’s one just under your left collarbone. That one’s pretty easy to spot."

He held up a second finger "Then there’s one on the side of your right breast."

He lifted a third finger and spoke in a serious tone "One on the inside of your left thigh... noticed that when you took a dip in that bathtub."

"Another one near your navel."

"Zhao Tian..." Yan Zijin began with a warning note, but he went on.

"The fifth one’s on your back, just under the right shoulder blade. Sixth is behind your right ear. Seventh is on the top of your right thigh, almost near the hip."

He held up an eighth finger. "There’s one on your left heel, too."

Then he looked at her directly, "And the ninth... it’s that tiny little dot at the corner of your jawline. The one that shows when you smil-"

"Okay!" she interrupted with a high pitch voice than usual as she turned to glare at him. "I get it!"

And then she turned her face away, unsure if she wanted to punch him or... something else.

Her grip on the unconscious woman tightened slightly as she resumed walking.

"...Pervert," she muttered under her breath.

"Observation is not perversion," Zhao Tian replied smugly, walking beside her with a proud smile on his face.

"It’s art. And you, Master, are a masterpiece worth studying."

Yan Zijin didn’t answer. She simply walked faster, flustered by his words.

’Idiot.’

"You better not be counting moles on other women."

Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow. "What other women? You’re the only one I’ve seen practically naked for weeks maybe."

She let out an exasperated sigh and shook her head "Just for that, I’m not letting you squeeze anything when we get out of here."

"Oh come on," he muttered. "That was worth at least one grope."

Yan Zijin turned her head and uttered "Earn it."

Zhao Tian smiled back "Then I’ll count them again later, just to be sure I didn’t miss one."

"YOU-"

...

Lying on the flat rock, Zhao Tian and Yan Zijin looked at the sky.

With a deep sigh, Yan Zijin muttered in a weak tone "What to do now, disciple? How long has it been..."

Hearing her voice, Zhao Tian slightly opened his eyes "Who knows... we have been traveling for so long, and it looks like it’s still going."

Yan Zijin lifted her hand toward the sky, fingers stretching lazily upward, as if trying to reach something "We are trapped here forever, it seems."

Both of them stared at the sky again and lay there comfortably.

"I wonder," Yan Zijin murmured suddenly, "if we’ll even remember the faces of the people we left behind... after enough time passes."

With a faint chuckle, Zhao Tian mentioned "I don’t know if I will remember people’s faces, but I will surely remember your body. I have been seeing it for so long that it’s etched in my brain."

Hearing this, Yan Zijin shook her head helplessly "Same goes with me, I guess..."

They looked at each other for a second and burst out laughing.

Amidst this, they heard a soft echo reverberating.

"The Fateless One..."
