Chapter 446 Trouble

The next morning, Xia Tian smiled happily upon seeing Nalan Qing sleeping in his arms. 'Sigh, I never imagined that our relationship would turn out like this. In the past, I always pampered her like my own daughter, but now she's become one of my women.'

Even though they had not truly dual cultivated, Xia Tian already regarded Nalan Qing as his own woman, just like Fan Jing.

"Mhn~" Slowly, Nalan Qing opened her eyes and smiled, looking at Xia Tian; she then snuggled closer to his chest. "I'm really happy that you are willing to accept me as one of your women, Tian."

"En, I'm happy too, Qing'er." Xia Tian suddenly thought of something. "Anyway, are you going to tell your mother about our relationship?"

Nalan Qing chuckled at that. "To be honest, it was mom who encouraged me to confess my feelings to you, and she has known for a long time that I love you very much."

[Humph! You are indeed an insensitive man, Master.] Alice said it in a mocking tone.

Xia Tian's lips twitched hearing that; he felt that Alice was starting to change again, and he still didn't know the reason for the change. "I see, I didn't expect your mother to know your feelings for me. Somehow, I feel that our relationship has become strange; she is my sister-in-law, while you are my woman."

"Ha ha!" Nalan Qing laughed upon hearing that. She then laid down on Xia Tian's body and looked at him with a strange smile. "How about you also take my mother as your woman as well?"

"No." Xia Tian refused without hesitation.

Even though Nalan Jie had been dead for a long time, but Xia Tian didn't want to take his wife as his woman. Moreover, he knew for a fact that Ran Qing loved her late husband very much, and her feelings for him would never change, so he didn't really want to do that.

Hearing him reply without a second thought, Nalan Qing didn't say anything further, she knew for sure that Xia Tian would be furious if she forced him. 'Should I talk to Mom about this matter? Moreover, she's been living a lonely life too long since my father died, I think it's time for her to find her other happiness.'

"Ahh!" Nalan Qing screamed in surprise as Xia Tian suddenly held her like a princess; she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. "Are you still not satisfied?"

"Hmm? I just wanted to take a bath with you." Xia Tian replied with a chuckle, making Nalan Qing blush brightly, thinking that he wanted to do it again.

After they finished bathing, Nalan Qing hurriedly left the Star Moon Sect and returned to the Xia Manor. Meanwhile, Xia Tian himself immediately came out of his room, and he ran into Yao Yin, who looked in a hurry. "Do you want to spar with me now?"

"No." Yao Yin shook her head at him. "I just received news from my mother that several of our sect's disciples died, so I wanted to rush over to take a look at the main hall."

"Hmm? How did they die?" Xia Tian asked with a frown.

Yao Yin shook her head again. "I don't know for sure, and it would be better if we went there to see it in person."

"Alright." Xia Tian nodded in agreement, and they immediately headed towards the sect's main hall.

As soon as they arrived there, there were several dried corpses of male and female disciples on the floor. Apart from them, they saw a few surviving disciples, but they were quite badly injured.

Yu Yunzhi, Liu Tao, Yao Mei, and others were examining the bodies, and several disciples from the medical hall were treating the injured disciples.

"Yun Feng? Huo Jun?" Xia Tian rushed over to his two friends; he then bought two healing pills and gave the pills to them. "What happened? How did you two get hurt this badly?"

​ "Thank you, Brother Xia." The two men immediately swallowed the pills, and Yun Feng explained to him. "While we were on our way back after carrying out a group mission, we passed by a village. There were so many dried up corpses in the village, so we decided to check the entire village. But unexpectedly, we encountered a strange black beast, and it attacked the dead disciples. We tried to help them, but the beasts were so strong that we were injured like this."

"However, the beasts suddenly disappeared just like that, and we brought their corpses back soon after." Huo Jun added with a pained expression.

"Hmm? Where is the village?" They then told him the location of the village. 'Scan the village, Alice.'

[Roger!] Minutes later, Alice reported to him. [Master, I detected a strong darkness energy in that village, so I believe the village was attacked by demons.]

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows; he then squatted on one of the corpses and examined it.

Yao Mei, who was examining the corpse, was irritated by Xia Tian's action. However, she did not dare to say anything, especially after she lost the bet to him while he was healing Feng Xian'er.

"Do you know anything about this, Xia Tian?" Yu Yunzhi asked after seeing his ugly expression.

Xia Tian took a deep breath and nodded. "The beast that attacked them was a demon beast, and the beast sucked their life energy clean."

"What!?" Yu Yunzhi and the people in the main hall exclaimed in shock.

Then Liu Tao asked with a frown. "Weren't the demons exterminated by Empress Yuhe and her people?"

"You are mistaken, Sect Master Liu." Xia Tian replied with a shake of his head. "The demons exterminated were King Bei and his army, but there were two other demons who attacked the villages, and they were gathering life energy for the demon emperor."

"Hmm?" They frowned upon hearing that.

Xia Tian then continued his explanation. "Before his troops were annihilated, King Bei had already informed the two demons about Empress Yuhe's actions, so they fled from this continent. But unexpectedly, they had already returned to this continent so soon to start their actions again."

"How did you know that far, Xia Tian?" Liu Tao asked doubtfully. Although he already knew about Xia Tian's action of eliminating the Leng and Luo families, he had never seen his action in person. Moreover, he wasn't sure if Zhu Yuhe was telling him such sensitive information.

"Of course, I know the details; I myself went along with Empress Yuhe and the others at the time." Xia Tian said with a chuckle; he then stood up and walked out. "Anyway, I'm going to that village right now."

"Wait a minute, Xia Tian!" Yu Yunzhi shouted at him, but Xia Tian just waved his hand without turning around. 'This brat! He never respected me in the least!'

"I'm coming with you, Xia Tian!" Two women immediately shouted and followed him, they were Yao Yin and Bing Huang.

Apart from them, Yun Feng and Huo Jun, who were feeling better, immediately followed them.

"Where are you going, young master?" Mo Xiaoqi, who had just arrived at the main hall, immediately asked.

"We're going to go check out the last village that was attacked by the demons." Xia Tian then turned to the two women. "Do you guys really want to come with me?"

"Yes." Yao Yin and Bing Huang nodded to him. "You don't have to worry about us, we can take care of ourselves."

They then rushed to the sect gate, and upon their arrival, Xia Tian immediately took out his flying artifact.

Since Yun Feng and Huo Jun had already seen Xia Tian's flying artifact, they were no longer surprised by it, but Yao Yin and Bing Huang were definitely surprised to see it, especially since that flying artifact was so luxurious.

"Let's all go up." Xia Tian immediately brought them to leave Star Moon Sect after they boarded the flying artifact.

My other novels

1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he naturally would change with time.

2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.

3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
