"Mhmm… So soft..."
When Xuefeng regained his consciousness, he felt like he was in heaven. His head was lying between a pair of soft thighs as someone caressed his cheek.
Ouch…
When Xuefeng tried to move though, his body only responded with sharp pain and an unreal stiffness.
'My wife's thighs are still the best…' Xuefeng thought before pausing.
Wife's thighs?
That thought bounced back for another review and his head sank deeper, feeling the two softies with his ears. Those thighs seemed unfamiliar and the lady's sweet voice only confirmed his theory.
"Comfortable?"
That voice definitely didn't belong to any of his wives. Xuefeng forced his eyes open but bright light immediately blinded him.
"Who are you...?" Xuefeng asked quietly, his throat feeling dry.
"My name? You can call me Sena. Don't worry, I won't hurt you," the lady assured as she pressed a metal bowl up to his lips. "Please don't move and drink some more. You will feel much better afterward."
The liquid was cold in his mouth but when it forced its way down his throat, it started burning his stomach.
"Cough, cough! Bitter…" Xuefeng cleared his throat right after, immediately feeling better despite the awful taste.
A warm feeling spread throughout his body as the pain began to lessen within seconds. He could sense his muscles shift and repair before setting in the right place, letting his body recover at a rapid pace.
"Thank you," Xuefeng muttered in gratitude. No matter who she was, she did help him get better.
Xuefeng opened his eyes again and finally saw his savor. She was like Yiren, sweet and innocent looking with a cheerful smile on her face. Her short white hair was split in the middle with her golden eyes observing him.
He couldn't help but think about his Fate Spirits, both looking familiar to her.
"You are welcome," Sena replied gently as she switched to massaging his temples. "Your body should feel brand new but if you are still feeling unwell, you can rest on my lap for some more time. They should feel softer for you than my pillow."
Xuefeng was going to object gentlemanly but her fingers just felt too good, relaxing his body even further.
"Can I know your name?" Sena asked curiously as she reached to his ears, rubbing them gently. "This is the first time I met an Elf. You are really handsome just as my teacher said."
When he sensed no discomfort, he almost felt like rolling his eyes. How often is this going to happen?
"Ehem," Xuefeng cleared his throat as he finally got up. "I'm Liu Xuefeng."
"Nice to meet you Xuefeng. What a nice name," Sena replied while sitting straight. Only then did Xuefeng realize that her dress was almost see-through, the translucent fabric barely covering her body.
Xuefeng already had many beautiful wives so he forced himself to look away from her, checking out the room instead.
"Where am I?" Xuefeng wondered out loud.
The cute girly bedroom with a large open balcony and pink curtains definitely didn't look like the top of the Dragon Tower. It was more like a Princess bedroom instead. Even the bed he laid on was pink and soft while the floor was made out of clouds.
'Ming? Ling?' Xuefeng called out for help but he was greeted by silence. It was Sena who came to his rescue, glad to be of help.
"I'm still curious about how you did it but you are currently in the Fate Kingdom," Sena introduced as she pointed at the window. "To be more specific, you are in the palace bedroom of Princess Sena. The view is quite nice from up here."
This was the first time Xuefeng's eyes widened so much.
"You kidding me, right?" Xuefeng asked in disbelief and pounced from the bed, dashing towards the balcony. "There is no way I—"
His speech froze as the view he expected to see was not there. Spirit Land Capital was nowhere to be seen and instead was replaced by something familiar.
Xuefeng already saw this land in Ling's space which she replicated from her memory. It was the exact same shape of valleys and hills with the difference of an actual city build in the area.
He quickly scanned the surroundings with his Spirit Awareness and sure enough, he only sensed Fate Qi in the air.
"I really entered the Fate Kingdom…" Xuefeng muttered, finally realizing why Ming and Ling were not responding to him. Either something was limiting them or they just didn't want to expose themselves.
"I was going to ask you how did you get here but then I noticed you were injured so I decided to help you first," Sena explained as she sat on the end of the bed. "Now that you are healed, I would like some explanation. You should know that the Fate Kingdom is closed and no one is allowed to either enter or leave. If my father were to learn that a member of another race sneaked inside, he would not be happy about it."
"Wait, I can explain," Xuefeng stopped her as he walked up to sit next to her. He couldn't help but sweat a bit after recalling the King of Fate Kingdom from Ling's memories.
That man was definitely on his kill list but that was not the time. He wasn't strong enough to kill him and he didn't even have Ling to help him. She was his only win condition. How else was he supposed to kill someone who was Immortal?
"Uff, that's great…" Sena sighed in relief. "I really don't want to tell my father. He will definitely get angry and hurt you. I don't sense any ill intent from you so I am sure you are a good man."
She reached out and grasped his hand. "It would also be great if you had a way to go back unnoticed as well. You can't stay here. It is almost the time for the Royal dinner and my father will—"
Knock, knock!
A loud knock on the door cut her off. She squeezed his hand in worry as they heard an announcement from the other side.
"Princess Sena, King requests you to accompany him for dinner."
