I alone am the Honoured One!-Chapter 771: A small talk with Qian Shi

"Huh? The First Heavenly One's soul?" Qian Shi's voice trembled slightly.

Sitting in front of the mirror inside her room, Ji Shuang nodded her head "Yes, Your Grace, that's what he said..."

Looking at the silhouette of the woman in mirror, Ji Shuang's gaze squinted in thought "And you are the Second Heavenly One, right Your Grace?"

Qian Shi nodded her head "Yeah, I am. The First Heavenly One, her name was Eleanor Di Laurentia, fought the First Honoured One, Lilith Maverick, and perished during the fight."

"After killing the First Heavenly One, the Honoured One drenched in victory and divinity, ascended the heavens to become a God."

"But who would have thought that the remnants of the Heavenly One's soul has been trapped inside the rupture."

"And the ruptures are actually the attacks of the Honoured One, which left permanent scars on space..."

Ji Shuang lowered her head and on the other side, Qian Shi sat on her bed silently.

With a deep sigh, she fell back on the bed 'I can't see his future with my Heavenly eyes, and since he is the anomaly of the system, everything he does changes the future of people surrounding him.'

She turned her gaze to the mirror and closed her eyes for a moment 'I still can't see a future where Yao Jing is alive...'

'Tian has really become unpredictable.'

'And now the First Heavenly One is included in this?'

She clutched her forehead 'I don't know what the First Heavenly One is thinking... At the end of the day, Heavenly One and Honoured One are arch-nemesis...'

'It is risky to even trust Eleanor.'

Ji Shuang on the other side asked "Your Grace, do you know anything about the First Heavenly One, so I can somehow warn Tian?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"I am scared that something will happen to him."

With a shake of her head, Qian Shi replied "No, I only know she was the previous ruler of the whole Astral Realm, but after she disappeared, the other factions took hold of the Astral Realm."

"I don't even remember how I was born anymore, or who my parents were. It's been… too long. The only thing that's remained constant in my fractured memories… is him."

Ji Shuang blinked. "Zhao Tian?"

Qian Shi smiled faintly, her expression softening "Mhmm. Even before I awakened as a Heavenly One, I dreamed of him. His face… his presence. A force like gravity, pulling fate itself around him."

Hearing this, Ji Shuang just lowered her head and remembered the nights she spend with Zhao Tian.

A sense of guilt settled down her throat "Uhm... Your Grace... I think... I might have fallen in love with Master Tian."

Ji Shuang pressed her hands over her chest, as if trying to still her racing heart. "When I'm near him, when I see the way he carries his burdens and the way his eyes softens… I can't help it."

"C-Can you allow me to be in his life as his w-wife?"

Qian Shi let out a giggle and muttered "Honestly, I would've been surprised if you hadn't fallen for him."

"I already told you once, Shuang. Don't hold back your feelings for me.."

"He has a lot of lovers. Too many, if you ask me. But Zhao Tian is… not the kind of man who gives love lightly. And those he loves, he treasures more fiercely than anyone else in the heavens."

Her smile widened. "So why would you think I wouldn't want you to be part of that love?"

Ji Shuang closed her eyes for a second and smiled in her heart.

"But…" Ji Shuang murmured, trying to compose herself. "Don't you mind… that you'll have to share him with so many of us?"

Qian Shi gave a small laugh, "Oh, I don't mind sharing. Not really."

She leaned back, brushing her silvery hair behind her ear "Because no matter how many wives he has... no matter how many fall for him…"

A grin crept across her lips, "I know I'll always be his favorite."

Ji Shuang blinked again, then gave a little laugh despite herself. "That's… kind of arrogant, Your Grace."

Qian Shi raised an eyebrow "Is it? Well... I have been waiting so many years for him, it would hurt me if I am not his favorite."

Ji Shuang just smiled and at this time, a voice echoed through her chambers.

"Shuang?"

Eh? Hearing Zhao Tian's voice, Ji Shuang was startled and stood up from her bed before reaching for the door.

As she opened the door, Zhao Tian entered the room and hugged her tightly "Shuang..."

With a chuckle, Ji Shuang reciprocated the hug "Tian..."

He pulled back just enough to look at her face, and a quiet smile appeared on his lips as he caressed his nose with hers "Were you sleeping?"

She chuckled and cupped his face in her palms "No, I was just lying in the bed..."

Zhao Tian turned his head and looked at the mirror on the bed "Were you looking at yourself?"

Ji Shuang giggled in her heart and muttered "Well, Yeah.. I guess, I want to look beautiful in someone's eyes."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian was amused and hugged her tighter "I wonder who that lucky man is..."

Ji Shuang's eyes crescented in tenderness "I wonder too..."

Looking at her eyes, he muttered "Whoever he is, he must be blind if he can't already see how breathtaking you are."

She chuckled under her breath and leaned her head on his shoulder "He surely is..."

Zhao Tian smiled and patted her head as his gaze flickered to the mirror.

She caressed his cheek, her thumb slowly moving beneath his eyes "Did the First Heavenly One say anything after that?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tian's gaze lowered "No, I haven't disturbed her after that..."

"And because of your persuasion, I dropped the plan of entering ruptures too."

She hugged him tightly "It's because I don't want to lose you, Tian..."

With a nod, he pressed a kiss on her forehead "Yeah, I understand..."

Looking up at him, she smiled softly "Well, leave that... come on, I will prepare something for you to eat."

"Mhm..."

As she pulled him, he followed her into the kitchen.
