Chapter 329: I have a feeling that I am going to get the shock of my life
Aria spoke in a worried tone as she looked Chen Tian in the eyes.
Chen Tian hesitated for a moment but still nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I think it's important for her to know," he replied, his voice filled with determination.
Chen Tian had made up his mind; what happened to his aunt, Aria, and Emilia was a lesson Chen Tian didn't want to see repeated.
"I think that Mom wouldn't believe our story even if we told her," Leng Zhiqing continued.
Leng Zhiqing felt that her mother would laugh and dismiss their concerns as childish imagination.
"If it comes to it, Chen Tian can always use one of his techniques to make Aunt Ying believe us," Emilia suggested, referring to Chen Tian's ability to manipulate memories.
Chen Tian nodded in agreement with Emilia's suggestion. He had already explained about what happened with the people who attacked Emilia and Aria to the three girls, so they were aware of the situation.
The girls were shocked after Chen Tian told them that he had killed them.
Chen Tian didn't hide anything. They should get used to such things, so he made sure to be open with them.
Aria and Emilia took it better than he expected, maybe because they also hated the people who attacked them and wanted revenge. As for Leng Zhiqing, she seemed more conflicted about the situation.
Chen Tian could see the doubt in her eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it. He just hoped that with time she would come to understand.
All the girls were in greater shock after he explained that other races existed on Earth as well, not just humans.
It was a lot for them to take in, but learning that other races were strong enough to destroy countries and pose a threat to humanity was a harsh reality they had to accept.
"I got two cultivation techniques for both of you," Chen Tian said, before taking out two books for Aria and Emilia.
"Finally!"
Both girls eagerly grabbed the books, their eyes lighting up with excitement.
Aria got the Nine Heavens Dragon Song Spear technique, while Emilia received the Radiant Sovereign Art.
With those two techniques, both Aria and Emilia would break through to the 1st stage of the Qi Refinement Realm without any problem.
"Wait! Why are you giving one to Aria?"
Leng Zhiqing interrupted, her cold voice cutting through the excitement in the room.
Chen Tian turned to face her, his expression quickly changing.
He had completely forgotten that Leng Zhiqing didn't know about his relationship with Aria!
Leng Zhiqing glared at him with suspicion in her eyes. Chen Tian quickly tried to come up with an explanation, but before he could say anything, Aria stepped in and explained.
"Little Sis, I am also Chen Tian's woman."
Leng Zhiqing's body stiffened at Aria's words, her eyes widening in shock.
She had never expected Chen Tian to be in a relationship with her sister. The room fell silent as everyone waited for Leng Zhiqing's reaction.
After a moment of tense silence, Leng Zhiqing's expression softened, and she let out a small sigh. "I see," she said quietly, before turning and leaving the room without another word.
"W-Wait…"
"Chen Tian, let her be alone for some time," Emilia called after him, watching as Leng Zhiqing disappeared from the room.
Emilia, having gone through a similar situation herself in the past, understood Leng Zhiqing's feelings the most. She knew that sometimes all a person needed was some space and time to process their emotions.
Leng Zhiqing had been hiding her feelings for a long time; it was clear she needed some time to come to terms with them. Emilia hoped that her friend would follow her heart and eventually stop following the expectations and pressures from others.
Leng Zhiqing needed to process the shocking news she had just received about Chen Tian and Aria's relationship. She needed time to gather her thoughts and emotions before confronting them both again.
Aria felt remorse for hurting her sister, but she wasn't going to retract her decision, the day she chose to be with Chen Tian Aria was even prepared to face her mother.
"Chen Tian, what are you going to do about tomorrow?" Emilia asked, a concerned look on her face.
Aria also had a worried expression as she considered Chen Tian going to that woman tomorrow.
"Don't worry, that woman doesn't look like she has bad intentions," Chen Tian replied, trying to reassure Emilia and Aria.
"If she wanted to hurt me, she could have done that with her strength, but instead, she chose to let me go."
Despite the uncertainty, Chen Tian could feel that Baihu didn't pose a threat to him. Tomorrow, he planned to speak with Baihu, understand her intentions, and hopefully reach an agreement.
About the mate thing, Chen Tian wasn't sure how he felt. He hoped that Baihu was a person he could communicate with.
After talking with Emilia and Aria, Chen Tian left and allowed them to rest, his mind consumed by thoughts of how to get stronger.
"Divine White Tigers are known for being incredibly lustful creatures, especially the women," Wu Ye spoke inwardly, her voice containing some teasing.
"Sigh…" Chen Tian just sighed and shook his head, not sure how to respond to Wu Ye's comment.
Divine White Tigers are esteemed and majestic divine beast, yet their reputation for lustfulness tends to overshadow their other attributes.
They primarily reside in the upper heavens and seldom engage with humans, choosing solitude instead.
Finding one here on Earth was a great shock for both Wu Ye and Chen Tian.
"Wu Ye, I think it's time for us to have a little chat," Chen Tian said.
"Sure, I don't have a problem with that," Wu Ye replied, with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
She was also curious about some things that she wanted to ask Chen Tian about.
Chen Tian didn't go back to his room but decided to have a sightseeing tour. With a flick of his wrist, his low-grade flying sword materialized, humming softly.
He hopped on, the wind whipping at his robes as he soared into the twilight sky.
The night was clear and filled with stars, casting a soft glow over the city below. Wu Ye watched from inside his soul sea as Chen Tian flew higher and higher, disappearing into the darkness.
Chen Tian directed his flying sword towards the summit of a mountain. Descending, the chill in the air deepened, and the fragrance of pine enveloped his senses. The moonlight filtered through the thick canopy of ancient trees, creating an ethereal glow on the moss-covered stones.
"You seem rather serious tonight," Wu Ye's voice echoed in Chen Tian's mind. Chen Tian nodded, his eyes fixed on the moon hanging low in the sky.
"I have a feeling that I am going to get the shock of my life."
