*sleesh* yu hua''s sword cleaved through the air as the sharp blade sliced through the neck of the astral beast, which looked like a hyena in purple color.
*thud* its head rolled down on the ground and yu hua swung her sword as the remaining blood splattered from her blade.
*swoosh* at this time, zahra ashante came there and landed beside her on the pile of astral beast corpses
"is that the last one?"
yu hua nodded her head and glanced around at the demolished buildings with blood splattered around with the astral beast corpses.
"i don''t sense any other astral beasts in the vicinity."
with a smirk, zahra ashante rolled her arm around yu hua''s neck pulling her closer "and bitch, how many beast you kill?"
yu hua let out a sigh and replied "i lost count after a while.. what about you?"
zahra ashante rolled her eyes and replied "maybe, 60 thousand?"
upon hearing this, yu hua''s lips twitched "damn bitch, the total number of astral beasts is around 50 thousand..."
"ah..." with a slight cough, zahra ashante replied "maybe six thousand?"
"pfft...." yu hua couldn''t help but laugh at zahra ashante''s silly face and zahra showed a cheeky smile.
"hehehe..."
*swish* ning xue floated there and saw the banter between them.
her gaze softened and a sigh escaped her lips "even though they bicker at each other all the time, they get along very well."
she then turned to the astral beast corpses and waved her hand as a swirl of golden flames ignited the remaining astral beast corpses.
*thirsssh* looking at the burning corpses, yu hua and zahra ashante turned their heads to ning xue.
a frown crept on yu hua''s eyes and she spoke "i think... humans won''t come to this place anymore."
ning xue nodded her head "en, sister shenyi already talked about this... the place where astral beasts spread like some parts of china, mongolia, russia and korea along with japan..."
"distant from me?"
she leaned onto him and softly kissed his ear "en, tian''er... in the past, there are only three of us, me, you, and mom... but now there are a lot of sisters."
"just like 3 or 4 months ago, you showed all of your attention to me... always spoiling me and cuddling with me."
with a giggle she continued "i also had dreams of marrying you and having a family with you and all... raising kids, sending you off to work..."
"but in just a few days.... the course of our daily lives changed drastically... and see us now, we are here, killing off some beasts to save the world."
"now... you are spending most of your time with other women and i uh.. suddenly feel quite distant, that you are drifting away from me..."
upon hearing this, zhao tian let out a soft sigh and zhao ying pecked his lips "well, don''t take it to heart... it''s just that i missed you a little."
zhao tian shook his head gently and replied in a soft tone "ying''er, when i say i love all of my women equally... it surely is a lie. a beautiful lie..."
"feelings can''t be manipulated to love everyone equally, there are some people special to me... very close to my heart."
he raised his hand, gently grazing her cheek as he uttered "i know this will hurt others if they heard this... and i know i shouldn''t say this... but in truth, i love you and mom more than others."
"for sure, i love all my women... but you and mom are...."
zhao ying''s eyes trembled and happiness washed over her heart as she hugged him even closer "well, it can''t be helped, tian''er... they have been with you only for months now..."
"their bond with you will grow stronger over time and there will come a time, when you will love all of us equally...."
zhao tian''s eyes softened and he nodded his head "i hope..."
...
meanwhile, qian shi who was sitting on the throne above in the sky overheard their conversation and was perplexed "his mother and sister are his... lovers, huh?"
"huh? but that ''woman''?"
