I alone am the Honoured One!

The morning sun filtered softly through the gauze curtains, casting golden streaks across the room.

Ji Shuang slowly blinked awake, her eyes adjusting to the light and the faint chirping of birds beyond the window mingled with the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze.

Raising her gaze, she spotted Zhao Tian seated at the edge of the bed with his back to her and her gaze lingered on the scars on his back.

She glanced down at herself, the thin silk of her nightwear having slipped during the night.

A portion of her breasts lay exposed, but she made no effort to cover it.

Instead, she shifted forward, rising to her knees before wrapping her arms gently around Zhao Tian from behind.

"Tian..." she whispered, her voice still laced with sleep.

A soft smile tugged at his lips as he leaned slightly into her embrace "Morning…"

She rested her chin on his shoulder, her breath brushing against his skin as she whispered teasingly, "Did you take a peek?"

Zhao Tian chuckled quietly, not denying it "I did."

Her smile widened as her lips brushed against the shell of his ear. "I forgive you," she murmured with a playful affection in her tone. "You've earned a few liberties."

As she spoke, she gently rested her forehead against his back, the heat of her skin meeting his.

The silk of her robe shifted slightly with the motion, revealing more of her figure to the open air.

Zhao Tian turned his head slightly and she placed a kiss on his cheek "That reminds me, I am very curious about that artifact of yours..."

She came quickly because Zhao Tian brought her inside the artifact and directly teleported her out in Azure Star.

She murmured on his skin "Though, I didn't get time to look around... This time, I want to look around the place."

He smiled slightly and nodded his head "Sure."

Ji Shuang's movements were slow as she slid off the bed, her bare feet meeting the cool wooden floor with a soft tap.

The silk robe, already loosened from sleep, clung loosely to her body.

With a graceful motion, she let the robe slip from her shoulders and the delicate material pooled at her feet.

Zhao Tian's gaze followed her, his eyes tracing the gentle curves of her body, and his attention settled on her full, plump breasts, along with her inverted nipples.

Ji Shuang, sensing the weight of his stare, moved toward him, her hips swaying subtly with each step.

She closed the distance between them and her thighs brushed against his as she gently lowered herself onto his lap, straddling him, settling comfortably.

Zhao Tian's hands found her waist, his fingers resting lightly against the curve of her hips.

His eyes lifted from her waist to her breasts and a faint smile appeared on her lips "Yep, they're the biggest ones I've seen."

Hearing this, Ji Shuang laughed and tilted her head slightly, her hair spilling over her shoulders in loose waves.

With that, she raised her arms, gathering her hair into her hands.

Her fingers worked deftly, twisting the strands into a loose bun atop her head, causing her breasts to lift slightly, accentuating their natural fullness.

The sunlight caught the subtle sheen of her skin, highlighting the gentle rise and fall of her chest with each breath.

Zhao Tian's gaze never wavered, his eyes following the graceful arc of her arms before settling once more on her breasts.

His hand moved almost instinctively, and his fingers grazed the soft skin of her areola with a soft touch.

Ji Shuang let out a faint hum feeling his touch on her sensitive skin.

She leaned forward slightly, her hands resting on his shoulders for balance.

Her bun began to loosen, a few strands of hair slipping free to frame her face, catching the light.

She made no move to fix it, as her attention is wholly on Zhao Tian and on the warmth of his hands.

Zhao Tian's hands tightened slightly on her waist, pulling her just a fraction closer.

He tilted his head, his lips brushing against her collarbone in a fleeting, featherlight kiss.

She shifted slightly in his lap, her thighs pressing more firmly against him "Tian..."

...

Zhao Tian and Ji Shuang walked side by side through the grand hallway, guided by a quiet maid who led the way ahead.

As they walked, Ji Shuang leaned in closer and whispered so only he could hear "Why don't we just stay in bed and cuddle all day?"

Zhao Tian let out a small chuckle and shook his head helplessly "The Emperor of this star came all the way here to see us. Let's not keep him waiting."

Ji Shuang pouted slightly, "Then after this, we're cuddling for sure?"

"For sure," he promised, giving her hand a brief reassuring squeeze.

Soon, they reached the doors of the guest chamber.

The maid gave a small bow and quietly stepped aside as the large doors opened.

Zhao Tian's gaze swept the room.

At the center Emperor Long Xuan was sitting and to his side Rui Guzhi was there, the Head of the Rui Clan.

Nearby, he saw Rui Lian and Yan Zijin, seated alongside a middle-aged couple and an elderly man, all bearing the noble features of Rui Clan's lineage.

The moment Zhao Tian stepped into the room, Long Xuan rose with a hearty laugh and stepped forward "Young warrior!"

Long Xuan moved in and embraced Zhao Tian warmly, "It's good to finally see you,"

Zhao Tian smiled and returned the hug.

When they pulled apart, Long Xuan placed his hands on Zhao Tian's shoulders, examining him closely "You're even younger than Guzhi described," he said with a slight shake of his head.

"But the Matriarch has spoken, and we all trust her word. If she believes you are the one who can save us, then we shall place our hopes in you."

Zhao Tian gave a solemn nod "I'll do everything in my power."

Long Xuan smiled broadly and gestured. "Come, sit with us."

But before Zhao Tian could move, Rui Lian stepped forward and she looked a little nervous, her fingers curled lightly at her side.

"Junior Brother," she began softly, "these are my parents and grandfather."

The middle-aged man stepped forward first and cupped his hands respectfully "Thank you for going to such lengths to protect our daughter. We are indebted to you."

His wife, graceful and elegant, bowed her head deeply.

Then the elderly man stepped forward, and without a word, pulled Zhao Tian into a trembling hug.

"I thought there was no hope left," he murmured, his voice hoarse with age and gratitude.

"Thank you, child… for giving us a miracle."

Zhao Tian returned the embrace with a steady hand on the old man's back.

Meanwhile, Ji Shuang had already taken her seat and the Emperor turned toward her with genuine appreciation.

"Miss Ji Shuang, the Jade Eclipse Sect's involvement is greatly appreciated. Please convey our gratitude to the Royal Family of the Jade Eclipse Star."

Ji Shuang smiled politely "Of course. Zhao Tian also has ties to the Royal Family. He is the husband of the Princess."

A ripple of surprise passed through the room, and even the old man glanced back at Zhao Tian with widened eyes.

Long Xuan raised an eyebrow and let out a surprised but amused laugh "Well then, it seems the young warrior carries more weight than I thought."

Zhao Tian chuckled awkwardly but didn't deny it. He stepped forward and finally took his seat beside Ji Shuang.
