1859 Chapter 1852: The Hegemons Are Guests for the Beauty Within His Heart
Original Dawn Palace, Southern Corridor.
Next to a double door crafted with exquisite wooden material that led to the Main Hall, two figures, a male and a female, stood face-to-face.
One of them was the gorgeous Wei Xiaotian, dressed in a dark apricot, ankle-length dress, her unique style enhanced by a fitted, long-sleeved black blazer, and knee-high boots with apricot-colored straps.
The other was known other than the man of the hour, the under two-hundred-year-old Heavenly Saint Alchemist that has gained sufficient social, territorial, and individual capital across the galactic cluster in less than two years—the Neo-Dawn Ascension Emperor, who preferred to be called the Saber Ascendant, Wei Wuyin.
He was styled in a moon-white and night-black fitted set of robes that lacked the aesthetic of martial, alchemical, or imperial robes, embracing the quality of a simple cultivator, bearing a strong resemblance to the casual hanfu worn by those of the Wu Country's Myriad Yore Continent decorated by eighteen dragons and a pair of silver bracers with the characters 'prosperity(left)' and 'longevity(right)' etched on them.
Wei Xiaotian designed this for him, for this day, for this moment.
Her delicate hands roamed across the robes, smoothing them out while ensuring his hair, which was sleeked back, was tied loosely, and the carefully plotted loose twirl of hair on the right side of his forehead was flawless.
"Are you nervous?" Wei Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"A little," Wei Wuyin responded honestly. Despite all his power, all his feats, all of his wealth, he was unable to hide his nervousness in this moment. For most, this might have been only right, but few understood that he came to the world beyond his own with nothing and was intent on making this very day happen.Wei Xiaotian patted Wei Wuyin's broad shoulders, her eyes glistening with a smile. "Good. That means your feelings aren't hollow. You care." She lightly caressed his chest, finding his heart that throbbed powerfully within. She was keenly aware of his normal heartbeat and could feel its slightly elevated rate.
Wei Wuyin scoffed lightly, "Hollow feelings?" Lifting his gaze to the ceiling, staring at the boundless starry skies beyond, he touched the Void Crystal Necklace housing their Myriad Yore Continent, and those silver eyes of his pinpointed the Onestar Galaxy.
Wei Xiaotian could feel the intense emotional reaction to her teasing words. She pressed her hand a little harder on his chest, "Sorry." Those who entered this heart of his would forever be loved, and she was keenly aware of that. And while she was unaware of every choice or decision or action that he had made, she could sense from his gaze the willingness to brave Hell, clash with the heavens, and fight against divinities, devils, and the entire world.
But more than that, which could be attributed to manly pride to protect that which he declared as his, there was the patience, the little actions, the depth of his understanding of each of those who dared to give themselves to him, and while he was unable to give himself fully to any single woman, he was willing to give everything he can to them all.
She sensed that after learning of the events of his past, especially when she talked to Liu Suyin, Cao Cuifen, Yue Songli, and Qing Qiumu. Which of them didn't feel seen? Didn't feel safe? None of them were neglected in the slightest, and as for him, he was available whenever needed.
He had kept an extensive connection with Qing Qiumu to overcome her trauma via a mental incarnation so she never felt alone.
Or that he had supported Cao Cuifen's dream fully, allowing her, who had lived a life of strife and scheming, to support her family and then an entire starfield to become her own person, who could select her own path and genuinely relax.
He was the type of man who didn't just use women for his own gain. She found it baffling that Wei Wuyin hadn't taken Yue Songli's virginity, dual cultivating with her, and taking full advantage of her Catalyst Body.
From what she learned from Su Mei, Wei Wuyin's treatment of those women who dared to give him their hearts was treated as well or even better. It was hard to judge, but he did something that few men do—he wholeheartedly supported their dreams.
This was an extremely rare trait from those who possessed harems of gorgeous women, or any type of harem. Many women are often neglected, reduced to baby breeders or foils without an identity except being the wife, concubine, or mistress of that impossibly grand figure. She felt deep pride in her heart that Wei Wuyin was willing to sacrifice his cultivation base just not to take a recently born heavenly beauty without her consent, even if that was one of the best ways to help her.
What type of unseen struggles must a man who is unwilling to break or bend his principles have to face mentally every day?
Her eyes softened with warmth, respect, and desire. That desire wasn't just, but the desire to support and lessen those unseen struggles.
"You have nothing to apologize for, haha." Wei Wuyin laughed heartily as he used his hand to fix her hair, correcting a loose strand that had fallen after she lowered her head in apology.
Wei Xiaotian felt a jolt of electricity surge through her body, causing her to look upwards and find Wei Wuyin's peerlessly alluring silver eyes that seemed to contain all of creation with a clarity as if she were seen right through. This feeling wasn't invasive but welcomed. While her body felt the urge to lunge into his embrace and bury her head into his chest, wishing to melt within. However, she held back as this wasn't the right time.
Wei Wuyin sighed in his heart. 'Since leaving the Ancient Sealed Regions, I could never have predicted the rate of my growth. Is this the result of the pressure imposed by my objective all those years ago? A war on a galactic scale…'
While it was less than two years in the normal temporal flow of stable space, Wei Wuyin had experienced decades since he left the Ancient Sealed Regions, attributed to accelerated temporal zones for cultivation and alchemical concoctions. Moreover, despite the pressure of the Eighteen Calamities of Hell, he would have to re-enter soon.
After fifteen years inside the Blank Dominion, under the isolation of his region, Wei Wuyin quietly digested countless alchemical products to maximize his foundation. He had not only reached the maximum limit for his cultivation base, but his Stellar-Paragon Physique had been fully developed and ready for the integration of Mystic Intent, and even his True Void Dragon Bloodline was on the verge of entering the second level after attaining the peak of the first level.
King, Ori, Kratos, and Eden had performed a hefty amount of cultivation during his observation of the Zeniths, or between waiting for their concoctions to be completed, and not only for himself, but Element and Little Defiant had made leaps and bounds in their own cultivation.
Even still, he would have to make extensive preparations for the upcoming battles to come. If at all possible, he hoped that he could settle his goals with as little bloodshed as possible, but if he listened to Young Master Shang regarding the stance of these galaxies, a fight was inevitable. At the very least, the Blessed Yri Empire was bound to be the first obstacle.
"She's here!" Wei Xiaotian exclaimed as she stepped back, her eyes widening in shock at the sight before her.
Lost in his thoughts, Wei Wuyin turned his gaze in the direction of the newcomer.
BOOM!
Within his heart, an explosion of awe erupted without restraint.
She was extraordinary. No mere words strung into a sentence could describe her beauty, elegance, and charm.
Dressed in a moon-white and honey-golden robe, as casual as Wei Wuyin's own and flawlessly matching his aesthetic as a Myriad Yore Cultivator, her face was as enchanting as a full moon shining brightly within a starless night sky—utterly unforgettable.
Her robes were modestly designed, yet they did little to hide the gargantuan gifts that the heavens bestowed upon her, certainly stealing from the essence of mountains and clouds, allowing the curvature of her hips to be further accentuated, especially when the robes conformed obediently around her voluptuous rear.
Her sensual qualities were only inferior to the astonishing, breathtaking beauty of her amethyst eyes and the curvature of her bright, perfectly white smile that could bring joy to a war-torn battlefield.
Etched on those robes were depictions of a fabulous story, likely personally sewn by her. If one dared to observe, they could observe the epic story of a young woman taken captive, held against her will, her hope dying out, but at the end, when she was about to surrender to fate, a silver dragon descended and carried her away across the stars.
Yue Songli.
"I'm ready." Her words were like heavenly music.
Wei Wuyin couldn't help but mutter aloud, "I'm the luckiest man in the world." On his face were wide eyes and a foolish smile, causing Yue Songli to blush intensely, her charm elevating to levels that could slaughter the hearts of men, condemning them to never finding another love or an image as beautiful as this one.
"Come," Wei Wuyin regained himself soon enough. With an outstretched hand, he reached out for Yue Songli.
She walked over and grabbed his hand just like she had all those years ago. The warmth and strength were far greater than before, and her grip was far less desperate, but the happiness and hope it instilled in her heart remained the same.
"We have guests to attend to," Wei Wuyin grinned.
Yue Songli nodded with a smile.
Wei Xiaotian stood behind the two as they stood shoulder-to-shoulder, opening the door as a flush of radiance cascaded through from the Main Hall.
Within was an assortment of food, drink, gifts, and guests from ten galaxies, including Dakari of the Sky Heart Domain, Grey Rose of the White Abyssal Galaxy, and Sage River Oasis of the Resolute Dusk Galaxy.
The second part of their two-year date was finally underway!
