It was already night and the stars were shimmering in the skies as the faint glow of the moonlight enriched the land beneath it.
"Come on, quick!" Zhao Ying's excited voice broke the calm as she looked over at Fei Ziyu, who was busy manipulating the sand with her earth elemental powers.
Fei Ziyu's hands glowed faintly as she molded the ground, creating a hole.
After a few moments, she stood up with a satisfied smile. "Lady Ying, it's ready."
With a nod, Zhao Ying glanced at Chi Miya who came there with a wooden pole and placed it firmly on the hole making it stand straight.
Fei Ziyu quickly closed the sand hole with her Earth elemental, making sure the pole was firm
At this time, Ning Yueli came there with a long white cloth like a bedsheet.
Together, they stretched the cloth over the wooden frame, attaching it at both ends of the pole's arms, forming a makeshift movie screen.
It fluttered slightly in the breeze, but it was stable enough for what they had in mind.
"Now," Ning Yueli said with a playful smirk as she stepped back to admire their handiwork, "if we get the projector ready... we can finally watch a movie."
Hearing this, Zhao Ying smirked "How about we watch a horror movie?"
Zhao Suyin panicked and hurriedly shook her head "No, no! Not a horror movie! Please, let's watch something lighter... maybe a romance or fantasy film?"
"Hahaha..."
Zhao Tian was sitting on the couch as he watched the women preparing for a late-night movie, a smile dancing on his lips.
As he gazed around the women gathered there, a frown creased his eyes 'Where is Zhilian?'
Hm? As he used his astral sense, he stopped Ning Zhilian at the far end of the beach and raised an eyebrow in amusement.
He then turned to Ning Xue who was sitting beside him on the couch and asked "Zhilian... doesn't like movies?"
Ning Xue blinked her eyes "I.. we, have never seen modern movies like this. This is the first time."
Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and Ning Xue tapped his shoulder "Go and hit on her as she is wandering there alone."
Chuckling, Zhao Tian kissed her forehead and stood up, walking towards Ning Zhilian.
Yu Hua who was sitting beside Ning Xue was dumbfounded "Sister Xue... you are asking tian to hit on Sister Zhilian?"
Both of them sat there silent as only the noises of the crashing waves and the gentle breeze were heard.
As a few moments passed, Zhao Tian asked "Did Xue'er... talk with you about dissolving the royal family?"
Huh? Ning Zhilian was taken aback to hear this and mumbled "Dissolving the royal family... I didn't hear anything about it."
With a sigh, Zhao Tian began to explain Ning Xue's plan and after hearing it, Ning Zhilian's eyes condensed.
"If the Emperor of Ebon Luohe Star has already accepted the deal..."
After some moments of thinking about it, she took a deep sigh "If that's Xue'er's wish... then it's okay."
Nodding his head, Zhao Tian muttered "Yeah, Xue'er is really worried about you"
She gave a nod and soon another silence followed as both of them simply sat staring at the skies.
After a little hesitation, Ning Zhilian scratched the back of her head and spoke "There's... something else," she began, her voice quieter now, almost shy.
"It might be awkward to bring this up, but... I think I should apologize."
Zhao Tian turned to her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Apologize? For what?"
Ning Zhilian's face turned slightly red, and she cleared her throat. "For, um... disturbing you and your women... you know, when you were... getting intimate."
Zhao Tian blinked, and then a chuckle escaped him. "Oh, that?" He shook his head. "You don't need to apologize for that."
Hearing his reply, Ning Zhilian pouted her lips as she huffed "Hmph, But still... I didn't expect you to be a naughty guy like that."
"Doing it on the open and even g-grabbing my back out of nowhere... Bastard."
Zhao Tian couldn't help but laugh softly at her reaction and he leaned over placing his hand over hers, their fingers brushing lightly against the sand.
"Zhilian, I won't touch any random woman whom I am not interested in."
Huh? Hearing this, it took a second for Ning Zhilian to understand and she blinked her eyes.
EH?
