*splash* Zhao Tiang, Zhao Suyin, Zhao Ying and Xia Shenyi are swimming around the lake enjoying the coolness of the water brushing against their skin.
Zhao Suyin who was doing backstrokes, let out a sigh "Ahhh... it is great to dip your body in cold water after having some sex."
Zhao Ying who was swimming beside her, raised her leg from the water for a kick, sending a splash toward her mother "You lustful woman... go away."
"Always looking for the time to fuck with Tian'er..."
Zhao Suyin's lips twitched in frustration "Ying'er, since when did you learn to kick your Mother?"
Zhao Ying stuck her tongue out, grinning impishly. "From today! Baah!" as she splashed more water on her mother.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tian and Xia Shenyi are hugging each other closely, floating on the lake "So, how is the ark..."
Feeling his hot breath caress her cold skin, Xia Shenyi nodded her head "This ark is great and will be very helpful to you."
"Since there is a map function... you can easily travel from one star to another."
Nodding his head, he turned to look at Zhao Suyin and Zhao Ying who were fighting in the water, but their faces were full of smiles.
His heart softened looking at them being happy and at this time, Xia Shenyi leaned, placing her head on his chest.
Hugging her tightly, he smiled...
For now, he is really happy, but soon he has to go into closed cultivation and get stronger.
...
Later, after they had all left the water, they gathered on the grassy field where a large wooden table had been set up.
The air was warm with the fading sunlight, and the grass beneath their feet was soft.
Zhao Tian, now dressed in a simple set of shorts and a loose t-shirt, leaned back comfortably in one of the chairs, his long hair still damp from the lake, flowing freely over his shoulders.
Zhao Suyin, butt-naked, was standing behind him drying his wet hair with the white towel in her hand.
With a playful grin, he reached up, grabbing her wrist and pulling her around to the front of him.
"E-Eh? Tian'er?" Zhao Suyin blinked in surprise, though her eyes sparkled with amusement. "I'm still brushing your hair..."
Zhao Tian's eyes gazed at Zhao Suyin from top to bottom and he muttered "You can dry my hair this way...."
"However, Big Sister will be here all alone and it would be hard to govern over Zhenzhu when a big High Star like Ebon Luohe is also interfering in our planet."
"So... I thought, why not just dissolve the royal family."
Zhao Tian's frown deepened, his eyes narrowing "And what would happen to Zhenzhu? If there's no royal family, who governs the people?"
Nodding her head, Ning Xue spoke "Well, I am sure the Emperor of Ebon Luohe star will assign some powerful people from their star to look over this star to protect it from other forces in the High Star circle."
"Since you've already established a kind of leverage over them, and they clearly fear the powerful woman you spoke of, they'll likely listen to any request you make..."
"You could form a new organization for Zhenzhu, one that works with the top sects currently here, alongside their representatives from Ebon Luohe."
"It wouldn't be a royal hierarchy, but a sect-based rule. Strong cultivators will oversee the development and protection of Zhenzhu."
"Since there are no more astral beasts in the forest around Zhenzhu. We can clear that forest and use that place for newly awakening cultivators around the world."
She paused, her voice softening as she explained further. "We can turn Zhenzhu into a haven for cultivation just like before. The organization I'm proposing would oversee this—new cultivators from across the world to Zhenzhu."
"The sects would guide them, and the influence from Ebon Luohe will ensure no outside forces try to take over. It would be a structured system, not ruled by a single royal family but by those strong enough to lead."
Hearing the suggestion, the frown on Zhao Tian's face deepened and Ning Xue continued "And Tian, our star is on the edge of the High Star circle so there won't be a large number of cultivators awakening as in the other High Stars which are close to the center..."
Raising an eyebrow, Zhao Tian asked "Shenyi said that?"
Ning Xue smiled, nodding. "Yeah, she was the one who brought up the idea of clearing the forest and centralizing the cultivators."
"With a proper system in place, Zhenzhu can become a beacon for cultivation. We don't need a royal family to protect it when the strength of the sects and cultivators can ensure its safety."
Thinking about this, Zhao Tian glanced at her "Did you ask Zhilian about this?"
"Not yet... and I let her outside after seeing your atrocity in the living room."
"Hahaha..."
