The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 962: Watching the Three Beauties’ Teamwork
For the next three days, the Arantes Star was still in upheaval because of the devils and the matter of traitors. The reason the problem became so severe was because many of the traitors came from prominent families or organizations.
This led to a large-scale purge operation carried out in a single day, which also caused unrest among the people.
They began questioning how major families or organizations could have traitors working for the devils within their ranks. Were there more traitors? Was this truly all there was to it, or was something much deeper happening behind the scenes?
This caused the rise of distrust between the people and the nobles or the sovereigns of the territory. Various powers also understood this situation, and they took action to minimize the resulting setback.
That action was to bring the name Aldrian the Great into the matter. It was because of his warning that they were able to carry out the purge operation in the first place, and they also gave him credit for exposing who the traitors were.
Moreover, he had successfully killed Erdo and Veraz, the two key leaders of the devil forces in this world.
The moment the people heard that Aldrian the Great was the one who made the purge operation possible, the doubts in many hearts receded. They knew that Aldrian the Great had visited the Celestial Lotus Sect, so it made sense that he could help this world deal with the devil problem here.
If all of this was under the watch of Aldrian the Great, then it might be a good sign and a sign of the end of the devils’ threat. Those nobles would not dare to play any tricks or hide anything from Aldrian the Great, right?
That was what was in the people’s minds.
Thanks to this, the various powers of this world did not face much difficulty in containing the setback caused by the traitors problem. They were still able to gain the trust of the people, and instead, the people came to understand their situation due to the devils’ cunning nature.
During these days, Aldrian spent most of his time taking strolls through various places around the world to have a look around. As usual, Meilan and Rei also accompanied him, guiding him and showing him many places.
Besides that, Aldrian also gave lectures to all the members of the Celestial Lotus Sect, which caused their comprehension to rise, and many of them made breakthroughs in their cultivation.
On the fifth day after Aldrian’s visit, it was finally time for him to return to the Ancient Blue Gate World. In the morning, he already stood beside the interstellar vessel, and many people were present to see him depart. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for what you have done for us. We, the Celestial Lotus Sect, will never forget Your Majesty’s kindness in helping us and even this world. We are truly grateful." Sect Master Huang said as he cupped his hands and bowed. The others also followed him.
Aldrian smiled. "No problem, Sect Master. This is only my duty. Helping others get rid of evil is something I must do."
The sect master and the others straightened up and smiled toward Aldrian.
"We truly feel fortunate that Your Majesty was here to help us," he said. Aldrian nodded, then looked at Meilan and Rei, who were standing beside Sect Master Huang.
"Thank you for these past days, Miss Meilan, Miss Rei. I apologize if I took your time by having you act as my guides."
"Ah, no, Your Majesty. We are truly glad that we could help you. Instead, we should be the ones thanking you. We have received many things from you during this time," Meilan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. We are the ones who should truly thank you," Rei added.
Aldrian nodded with a smile. "That is a relief to hear. Well, I think it is time. I will be going now. See you in the future."
He then entered the vessel. A few moments later, he departed from Antares under the watch of many people.
Meilan’s gaze remained fixed on the sky where the vessel had already disappeared, and inwardly, she could not help but feel a slight sense of loss. Now that Aldrian had departed, she would return to her normal activities.
Over the past few days, she had felt thrilled by the experiences she gained with Aldrian, and her spirit burned with excitement from being able to spar with someone like him. It was precisely because of that that she felt a sense of loss now that he had finally left.
"What is it? Already feeling lost after His Majesty is gone?" Rei’s voice suddenly resounded beside her. Meilan unconsciously responded by nodding. However, she quickly realized what she had just done, which caused her face to flush as she looked at Rei with an embarrassed expression.
Fortunately, the others were no longer paying attention to this place and had already begun to disperse. Otherwise, they would have noticed Meilan’s unusual reaction. Rei only grinned at first, but then she froze when Meilan spoke to her in return.
"Are you the same? Do you also feel lost already?"
Rei truly did not expect such a comeback. In the past, she did not remember Meilan responding to her teasing this way. Her face could not help but flush, but she held it in and cleared her throat.
"We... well, I admit that I feel a bit lost after what we experienced together over these past few days."
They kept looking at each other, then sighed.
"Aish, why are we acting like this? It is not as if this is our last meeting with His Majesty anyway. We can still visit him in the future," Rei said.
Meilan then showed a smile and nodded.
Yes, they could still meet Aldrian again, so why should they feel so lost?
--------------------------------
Aldrian, who was already in the middle of his journey toward the Ancient Blue Gate World, decided to return using his domain ability. He instantly teleported back to his palace and planned to stay for a few hours before setting out on another journey to the Blue Pearl World.
He walked toward one of the training rooms, where he sensed Sylphia, Baek Jimin, and Angelica, who seemed to be in the middle of their training. At times, they trained together to sharpen their skills against one another or to improve their teamwork.
In some of the training halls, there were also illusion formations that allowed them to face various enemies. The sensations were so real that they still had to be careful during training. After all, if they were badly injured inside the illusion, the sensations could leave lingering pain even after the illusion disappeared.
At this moment, the three women were trapped within an illusion, their bodies moving here and there. Aldrian, seeing their movements from outside the hall through his domain sense, grew curious about the enemies within their illusion.
He could not see what they were facing and could only observe their movements as if they were fighting invisible foes.
Aldrian decided to take a look directly. He teleported into the training hall they were in and concealed himself. With his comprehension of formations and illusions, he easily infiltrated the illusion shared by Sylphia and the others.
His surrounding environment changed into a desert. The three women were facing tens of enemies clad in black robes, their average cultivation at the duke stage. One of the enemies, at the low grand duke stage, stood aside as if waiting.
Baek Jimin, who had already reached peak marquess stage at this moment, could face even middle duke or high duke stage cultivators. Her elemental attacks were powerful and precise, and she could kill many enemies when she used wide-area attacks with excellent timing.
Sylphia stayed behind, using her arrows to attack from a distance to kill or obstruct enemies that tried to overwhelm Baek Jimin. She also defended herself and Angelica near her whenever enemies approached them, using her elemental techniques.
Angelica acted as support, using various supporting techniques such as Heavenly Blessing to boost the power of Baek Jimin and Sylphia. At the same time, she used her defensive technique, Heavenly Sanctuary, to strengthen their defenses against enemies who wielded darkness based laws.
With Angelica as support, Baek Jimin became the spear, attacking and killing enemies at the very forefront. Sylphia attacked from a distance while also protecting Angelica. Their teamwork was solid, with very few gaps.
When only the lone grand duke enemy remained, their teamwork became even more solid, and their attacks grew much more powerful as their focus narrowed to a single target. This time, Sylphia became the spear, as she was the strongest among them in terms of offensive power because her cultivation had already reached the high duke stage.
Aldrian nodded, satisfied with how they adjusted their attack and defense according to the enemies they faced. He felt truly proud as he watched the three of them work together like this, and he felt genuinely fortunate to have them as his harem.
How could he not? As their man, watching how the three beauties moved in sync and supported one another made his heart feel warm.
Although Angelica had not officially joined his harem yet, he had already considered her as his.
After a few moments of fighting, Aldrian could tell that the lone enemy was on the verge of defeat, and he could see that the training was about to end.
But then, suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he could not help but smirk.
He had an idea to surprise them.
