Chereads / I alone am the Honoured One! / Chapter 44 - Cheating?!

Chapter 44 - Cheating?!

Zhao Tian's room-

Huh? Zhao Ying found herself perplexed as she blinked her eyes in confusion, gazing at Zhao Tian, who was comfortably seated beside her on the bed "Cultivation?" she asked tilting her head.

"Yeah." Zhao Tian gave a nod. Zhao Ying moved closer to him cupping his face in her palms "Tian'er what happened to you? suddenly you started blabbering things… are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

"That's why I told you to stop playing games, see it muddled your brain…my cute little brother!" she spoke affectionately planting a kiss on his forehead.

-_- Zhao Tian looked at his sister's genuine concern as a sigh left his lips. "E-Ehhhh?" Zhao Ying's eyes widened as suddenly her body began to levitate from the bed defying the gravity.

"T-Tian'er… help me." In a state of panic, she called for him as she started floating in the room. Zhao Tian looked at her with a smile "Now you believe me?"

Zhao Ying hurriedly nodded her head "Y-Yes, I believe…let me down." she spoke frantically shaking her hands. With a chuckle, Zhao Tian let her down as she softly landed on her bed.

"Haah!" What the fuck just happened? Zhao Ying let out a deep breath and she raised her head, her eyes full of stars "Tian'er, how did you do that? Magic? Are you Superman? how? how? That was awesome…" She was excited more than shocked.

Zhao Tian pinched her nose and said "I just told you, cultivation exists in the world." "O-Ohhhhh!" Zhao Ying mused aloud.

"T-Then like in novels, you sat cross-legged to let the energy into your meridians and something like that?" Zhao Ying asked curiously and Zhao Tian gave a light nod "Yeah."

"You can do that, Tian'er… you are a cultivator? Can I also become one? Are there many cultivators in the world?" Zhao Ying, overwhelmed with excitement, bombarded him with a stream of questions. completely excited about the idea of cultivators in this modern world as she wanted to know more about it.

Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle in amusement seeing her enthusiasm "Calm down, big sis."

"How can I calm down, Tian'er… this is a big thing. Everyone wanted to have powers and… I am also like that. Think about flying in the sky and saying 'Puny mortals who doesn't know the wrath of Heaven and Earth.' " She even said it in a unique voice.

Zhao Tian just chuckled and said, "Before all of that, I want to introduce you to someone." Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow "Who is that, Tian'er."

Zhao Tian got down from the bed and Zhao Ying followed him. "Close your eyes." hearing this, Zhao Ying closed her eyes without asking questions. For a moment, she felt the world turning dark…

"Now open!" As Zhao Ying's eyes fluttered open, she saw the breathtaking scenery. Stretching out as far as the eye could see, a vast expanse of lush green grass lay before her, peppered with majestic mountains and dense forests. In the distance, a glistening lake sparkled under the warm rays of the sun, adding to the picturesque beauty of the scene.

Her eyes dilated in shock seeing this, and her words stumbled "T-Tian'er, where are we?" she asked her eyes taking in the breathtaking view.

Zhao Tian smiled "You see the pendant in my neck?" Zhao Ting turned her head and looked at the green pendant on his neck "Yeah, what about it."

"Apparently this is a space artifact and now we are inside this artifact." Hearing his words, Zhao Ying raised her hand gently touching the green pendant "You mean… this big world is in this small pendant?"

Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah." A smile appeared on Zhao Ying's lips "Super, This is so interesting… Tian'er tell me more about this."

Zhao Tian let out a soft chuckle "But before that…" he spoke softly taking her hand and saw her wrist "A silver colored tattoo." he muttered.

Zhao Ying was startled to see the tattoo "W-What? Where did this come from? Mom will scold me if she saw this… what to do."

But in the next instant it disappeared, "Wha- Tian'er it is gone."

"Tian!" Zhao Ying's attention was suddenly drawn away from Zhao Tian as she heard a melodious voice calling out his name. Intrigued, she turned her head and was captivated by the sight of a breathtakingly beautiful woman, draped in elegant red robes, gracefully approaching them.

Even she was surprised by the level of beauty "W-Who is she?" she mumbled under her breath in wonder.

Shenyi approached Zhao Tian with a gentle smile on her face, and when he laid eyes on her, his eyes softened. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close in a loving embrace and Xia Shenyi leaned in to press a soft kiss to his lips.

*gasp* Zhao Ying's eyes widened in shock when she saw the new woman casually kissing Zhao Tian. Her eyes trembled with discomfort, her heartbeat in her chest increased, and she felt anxious. "T-Tian'er? What…" 

All her excitement about the Cultivation stuff vanished and she clutched her palm looking at them kissing.

Retracting this kiss, Xia Shenyi smiled gently and looked at Zhao Ying "So this is your sister, Zhao Ying."

Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Tian feeling betrayed and seeing her eyes, Zhao Tian spoke "Ying'er-"

Zhao Ying quickly interjected with a shocked and hurt tone "T-Tian'er, this woman just kissed you. You are cheating on me with this woman behind my back… You really didn't tell me about this woman."

A sigh left Zhao Tian's lips and he wanted to explain the situation. But Xia Shenyi spoke with a frown on her face "What are you saying? Cheating? Zhao Tian loves both of us. What's wrong with that?" she asked a hint of confusion in her voice.

Zhao Ying fixed a piercing gaze on Xia Shenyi, her eyes filled with a mix of confusion, hurt, and frustration. "H-He loves me, so why should he kiss and love you too."

Huh? Xia Shenyi was taken aback by what she heard. What kind of nonsense is this? "What's wrong with having two lovers? Stronger men like Tian should have a harem of a hundred women in my opinion."

Zhao Ying was even more confused, her mind and thoughts falling into chaos, she never thought there would come a day when she would witness another woman kissing her brother.

"Why does he have to love you… when he has me? huh?" she yelled looking at Xia Shenyi.

Xia Shenyi was startled by Zhao Ying's sudden yelling but then a question struck her mind "Tian, in you star, can't men have more than one woman?"

Zhao Tian smiled wryly "Yeah!" he took a step holding Zhao Ying "Ying'er, hear me-"

"No!" Zhao Ying hit his chest frantically her eyes moistening with tears "You cheated on me, Tian'er… no no."

Well, it is kinda Zhao Tian's fault he should have explained to her first. In a tender gesture, Zhao Tian embraced her and gently lifted her chin "Ying'er!" he softly called her and kissed her lips.

Reluctantly, Zhao Ying returned the kiss, wrapping her arms tightly around his back as her heart swelled with a mix of conflicting emotions. Despite his betrayal, Zhao Tian was the one she deeply loved, and it is impossible to simply hate him just like that.

Meanwhile, Xia Shenyi had a frown on her face looking at them kissing, various thoughts in her mind.

'This is not good. His first woman is reluctant and tries to monopolize him. This might actually be a hindrance for Zhao Tian in the future. Seems like I need to take care of this…'

Zhao Ying, overcome with emotion, withdrew from their passionate kiss and buried her face in his chest "Tian'er…" In response, Zhao Tian gently caressed her head.

Xia Shenyi spoke interrupting "Zhao Ying, right? I need to talk with you… privately."

Hm? Zhao Ying lifted her gaze to meet Xia Shenyi's, confusion evident in her eyes. At the same time, Zhao Tian arched an eyebrow "Shenyi?"

Xia Shenyi smiled looking at him "Tian, this is important." Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Tian and seeing his reassuring nod, she left from his hug.

Zhao Tian saw Zhao Ying and Xia Shenyi walking towards the home and a sigh left his lips "Haah! Having a harem is tough!" he muttered under his breath, his voice laden with a hint of wry resignation.
