I alone am the Honoured One!

Zhao Tian leaned back in the chair with one arm resting lazily along the armrest and the other loosely encircling Ji Shuang's waist.

She was curled up sideways on his lap with her legs tucked neatly over the side, one foot brushing against his calf.

Her head rested against the side of his neck, her soft breaths fanning warmly against his skin.

She wore a pale silk nightgown, and the faint scent of her hair was intoxicating in the cool, filtered air of the control room.

The fabric shifted slightly as she adjusted her position, the slit along her thigh parting just enough for the dim cabin lights to reveal a glimpse of smooth, pale skin.

Zhao Tian's gaze flickered downward, and a smile spread across his lips.

Without hurry, he slid his palm slowly along her outer thigh, and when his hand reached the exposed skin, he gave it a gentle squeeze, feeling the subtle curve of her flesh beneath his fingers.

Ji Shuang stirred at his touch, shifting just slightly so her knee bent over his leg.

Her arms tightened around his neck in an unconscious reflex, "Enjoying yourself, Captain?"

Zhao Tian tilted his head just enough to glance at her, "Mm. My ark is running perfectly, my view is beautiful… and the stars aren't bad either."

He leaned forward just slightly, brushing his lips against the shell of her ear before murmuring, "We could just… stay here a while."

She let out a giggle and kissed his cheek "Hmm, but we will reach Jade Eclipse Star tomorrow."

His touch lingered on her thigh, his thumb brushing higher along her inner thigh and she let out a soft hum, her lips curving into a playful smile as she tilted her head to meet his gaze.

His smile widened as his hand slid higher and with a gentle tug, he loosened the fabric across her shoulder to reveal the soft curve of her breast.

His hand moved with care, cupping her breast gently, and his fingers molded to its softness as he gave a light, teasing squeeze.

"Ngh..." Ji Shuang's breath hitched, her body arching slightly into his touch, and she closed her eyes as a soft gasp escaped her lips.

"Tian…" she whispered, her arms tightening around his neck as she pressed herself closer.

Her nightgown slipped further, pooling around her waist, and she made no move to adjust it.

Her violet hair spilled over her shoulders, catching the light in glossy waves, and her cheeks were flushed with a soft pink, her eyes half-lidded with a mix of contentment and anticipation.

His touch was gentle as his fingers found her areola, grazing the soft curve of her inverted nipple.

He teased her areola with a featherlight touch as his fingers circled the sensitive skin.

Her breath hitched, her lips parting slightly as she shifted in his lap, her arms tightening around his neck.

Leaning forward, he gently took her lips for a kiss, and she quickly reciprocated, taking small bites from his lips.

He continued playing with her inverted nipple, teasing it with a delicate touch as he tried to coax it from its hiding place.

"Your nipple is hiding so well..."

She blushed upon hearing this "Then try to pull it out..." she murmured against his lips before kissing him again.

Zhao Tian's fingers grew bolder as he twisted her areola lightly and the sensation sent another shiver through her.

Slowly, her nipple began to peek out, responding to his careful coaxing, and Ji Shuang's body arched slightly, a soft gasp breaking the kiss as she pressed herself closer to him.

"Hnngh..."

Her cheeks flushed deeper as she pulled back just enough to meet his gaze "Tian…"

Her hands slid down to rest on his shoulders, her fingers digging lightly into his skin as she steadied herself, her body still trembling from his touch.

He intertwined his fingers with hers, and she felt a cold metal bristle past her ring finger.

Huh? Her breath caught, and she glanced down, her eyes widening at the sight of a delicate, intricately designed ring now adorning her hand.

"This is..."

With a chuckle, he pecked her lips "With this, you can enter the artifact whenever you want. All of my wives have one, so..."

Hearing this, her gaze trembled, and she quickly hugged him "Tian."

He hugged her back, his fingers tracing down her delicate spine, and he pulled down her nightgown further, revealing her ass.

His hand reached out, gently groping her ass with a playful squeeze, his fingers molding to the soft, plump flesh.

Ji Shuang's smile widened and her body relaxing further into his embrace as she shifted her hand to rest against his chest. "This ring… It's beautiful, Tian."

Her fingers brushed against his chest, as she nuzzled closer, her cheek pressing against him.

"It suits you, you are stunning."

Next day-

The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the sky, casting long shadows across the courtyard of the Jade Eclipse Sect.

After a full day of missions at the Alchemy Hall, Qi Nue and Qi Xue were finally returning to their shared room in the dormitory.

Despite the exhaustion in their eyes, there was a calm satisfaction on their faces.

Qi Nue took her identification token from the pouch at her waist and pressed it against the jade plaque on their door.

With a soft chime, the formation barrier rippled and dispersed, allowing the door to swing open with a light creak.

But the moment she stepped inside, Qi Nue's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the handsome youngman sitting on the couch.

Qi Nue blinked and then her voice trembled slightly, "Little Brother?"

Zhao Tian rose to his feet with a gentle smile, "Sister Nue, Sister Xue,"

Before he could say anything more, Qi Nue rushed forward and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him with the force of someone who had been holding in too much for too long.

"I missed you so much, Little Brother."

Zhao Tian's gaze softened, and he lifted his arms and embraced her back, one hand gently resting on her back, the other on her shoulder.

"I know, that's why I came to meet you first thing as soon as I returned."

"I am glad you're alright." Her voice cracked just a little.

He pulled back slightly, just enough to turn his gaze to Qi Xue, who had remained near the entrance, watching them with a small smile on her lips.

She nodded at him "Welcome back," she said softly.

"Thank you, Sister Xue."

Then he looked down again and Qi Nue still hadn't released him.

With a chuckle, he muttered "Sister Nue?"

But she only buried her face deeper against him like a stubborn child, her voice slightly muffled "Little Brother, let me hug you a while longer."

His smile turned into a soft laugh.

He didn't push her away. Instead, he patted her back gently and allowed her to stay in his arms as long as she needed.
