Chapter 125: A small date!
*creek* As the door opened, Ning Xue entered her room with a wooden box in her hand. And seeing her, Ling Xin quickly stood up "Sister Xue!"
Ning Xue smiled as she extended the wooden box to Ling Xin "Here, the thing you asked."
A smile instantly appeared on Ling Xin's face and she took the wooden box in her hands "Thank you so much, Sister Xue!" she spoke with a slight bow of her head.
Seeing her bright smile, Ning Xue chuckled softly "Save it in your storage ring."Ling Xin nodded her head and hurriedly saved in her storage ring.
"Haah!" Ning Xue let out a sigh as she walked to the couch, *swish* her dress disappeared into the storage ring and she sat on the couch butt naked.
Ling Xin exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of relief as she made her way over to the couch, various questions running through her mind. "Uh, Sister Yue... this flower..."
Ning Xue spoke leaning back on the couch, her leg draped over the other "Don't ask me how did I get this flower or why am I hesitant to get the flower first."
"You kept it secret why do you need the flower and I'll keep this a secret."
Ling Xin lowered her gaze and at that time she remembered something as she raised her head quite hesitant to ask "Is this related to the destruction that happened 35 years a-"
"Xin'er." Hearing Ning Xue's cold voice cut through the air, Ling Xin shivered and spoke in an apologetic tone "I-I am sorry, Your Majesty!"
Ning Xue gritted her teeth in frustration and sorrow "I lost my family that day... because of those bastards." she said, her tone laced with a chilling bitterness.
"Haah!" But she took a deep breath controlling her emotions as memories of the past flooded her mind.
"Well anyway, let's change the topic... how is your disciple and your preparation for competition." Ning Xue asked a smile appearing on her lips.
Ling Xin nodded her head "Chao'er is doing great. She has already reached 2nd level of Soul Astral Stage."
"Hoh!" Ning Xue was quite amused hearing this "Not bad!" she muttered and Ling Xin chuckled "What about the top student in the Royal Academy."
Ning Xue shook her head "Who knows, I don't even go there."
...
"O-Oh!" Collective gasps were heard as the onlookers were left speechless seeing a couple walking through the streets of the Royal Capital. The young handsome man is wearing a black robe with intricate golden patterns on it and the woman is wearing a purple robe.
Ling Huang giggled faintly "Little Brother all eyes are on us." Zhao Tian smiled "Of course because I have a beautiful woman like you beside me."
Ling Huang couldn't help but chuckle, thoroughly amused by his charming and smooth words "What a sweet tongue... haha."
As Ling Huang strolled around, her gaze fell on a shop and her face lit up. "Little brother come here..." she hastily grabbed Zhao Tian's hand and pulled him.
Zhao Tian just smiled and went along with her as she pulled him to the shop. Upon entering, he was greeted by a dazzling display of diamond-like crystals lining the shelves, catching his eye immediately.
At the back of the shop stood a middle-aged man, undoubtedly the owner or shopkeeper.
He smiled seeing the couple "Welcome! young people! How many Envisage shards do you need?"
Ling Huang spoke, "Only one is enough!" The middle-aged man nodded his head and took one Envisage shard from the shelf "That costs two astral stones."
Zhao Tian placed two astral stones on the bench and the middle-aged man took the astral stones and asked "Do you need help to take the picture."
Ling Huang said, "We will take care of that."
Zhao Tian took the Envisage shard in his hand and both of them left the shop. He remembered Xia Shenyi talking about these shards, apparently, this is like a camera in the cultivation world.
Ling Huang took the Envisage shard from his hand and spoke "Little brother, you probably don't know what this is... so I will tell you."
"With this shard, we can capture a memory of ourselves into this Envisage shard and look at it. Fascinating right?" she said with an excited smile explaining the concept.
Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah!"
Ling Huang nodded back "Hm, let's go to a good spot and do this. I know a forecourt here."
Forecourt? Zhao Tian and Ling Huang came to a large nature garden in the Royal capital. Zhao Tian looked around. Did she mean park?
"Let's sit here... Little brother!" Ling Huang pulled Zhao Tian to sit on a bench in the park.
As they sat, Ling Huang took the Envisage shard and flowed her astral energy into it. *swish* It slowly floated away from her hand and levitated in front of them.
She then raised her hand taking the veil off her face.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she hugged Zhao Tian's arm and smiled cheekily "Come on little brother... give a good pose." Zhao Tian just chuckled and *click*
After taking a picture, the Envisage shard rotated in the air showing the other side. Ling Huang spoke "It can take two memories, Little brother, last time you were chuckling... this time pose good. Hmph!" she sulked her lips.
"Sure!" Zhao Tian nodded his head and showed a faint smile looking at the shard. Ling Huang also leaned on his shoulder, affectionately hugging his arm with a wide smile on her lips. *click*
"Let's see..." Ling Huang raised her hand and the Envisage shard came back floating to her. Looking through the radiant depth of the diamond crystal, she saw the picture of her and Zhao Tian.
She couldn't help but smile in happiness "Little brother, see this... it's so good!"
Zhao Tian also leaned in to look at the crystal and saw that the picture turned out really well. Ling Huang smiled happily "I'll treasure this little brother, hehe!"
Zhao Tian's eyes grew tender looking at the cute woman smiling happily looking at the Envisage shard and he chuckled "You are really aloof sometimes."
"Hm? aloof?" Ling Huang tilted her head cutely and Zhao Tian spoke "I feel like you have zero survival instincts, you approached me by yourself when I first came to the Sect."
"And now you are here alone with a man whom you just met yesterday. I am actually worried about you now."
Eh? Hearing this, Ling Huang was dumbfounded and she facepalmed herself. But she also felt the situation amusing "Well, I... wouldn't just approach any man like that. I know it's you..."
Hm? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow "You know me?"
Ling Huang smiled dryly and spoke the reason "I... actually have a good sense of smell. When Sisten Xin came from the Ancient Ruins I noticed a unique scent on her, different from the usual."
"And Sister Xin also said that a powerful cultivator saved her inside the Ancient Ruins and also helped her in finding the treasures."
Zhao Tian frowned upon hearing this, how did my smell get attached to her? And then he remembered taking her on his shoulders before entering the treasure room while escaping from the crushing walls.
Ling Huang continued "When you came into the Sect, I also saw how you easily blocked Sister Chen and Sister Meiying's attacks."
"Curious, I came close to you and caught a whiff of your fragrance. I know it was you who saved Sister Ling that day from the Wyrns. That's why I acted like that..."
"Seeing your handsome face., I couldn't control the urge to tease you because you were cute wearing that dress back then, haha."
"And I also know little brother won't harm your Big sister, right?" Ling Huang spoke, keeping her smile causing Zhao Tian to chuckle.
Ling Huang lowered her gaze, hesitant in her heart to ask but still, she asked "But... actually I was scared yesterday after hearing more about you from Sister Xin."
"Oh, what did you hear?" Zhao Tian asked, quite curious.
Ling Huang spoke averting her gaze "That you killed... all the people from the Stormweaver Sect mercilessly."
Zhao Tian casually nodded "Yeah, I did... I gave them a warning, but they refused to listen."
A deep sigh escaped Ling Huang's lips "Well, I can understand... if you had not taken action there, you and Sister Xin would have died." she utered and a tranquil silence filled the park as the chirping of birds could be heard with the gentle rustling of the wind.
"And is it true that you are just 21 years old?" Ling Huang asked and Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah, I am."
"O-Oh!" Ling Huang was slightly taken aback and gave a nod "Sister Xin also said that you have control over four elements..."
"If it's true can I see that? I have never seen anyone use more than one element."
Zhao Tian raised his hand and a blazing fireball appeared on his palm. Ling Huang was excited seeing this "You have fire elemental!"
Seeing her being excited, Zhao Tian continued as the fire disappeared and small particles of ice appeared in his palm "Oh, water too huh."
*crack* As the icicles disappeared, cracks of purple lightning ran across his fingers, mesmerizing Ling Huang as she opened her lips in surprise "It is awesome, Little brother!"
*woosh* And in the next instant, the lightning stopped as small wind blades with a surge of wind energy appeared in his palm.
Huh? Ling Huang frowned and was confused seeing this "Little brother... Sister Xin said that you have, Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth... but now you are using wind." she asked turning her eyes to his face, her voice laced with curiosity.
Zhao Tian just looked at her with a smile on his face. Then realization struck Ling Huang and her eyes widened in utter shock "D-Don't tell me little brother.."
"Y-You can use all the elements!"
"Guess!"
