The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 476: Sweet Time

On one of the balconies on the second floor, Sylphia stood gazing at the purplish sky on the western horizon, her lips curved in a slight smile. She wore a casual gown that accentuated her curves while still maintaining an air of elegance.

She seemed to be enjoying the beautiful view as a blanket of stars began to spread across the horizon.

Unbeknownst to her, someone had already been standing not far behind her—not only admiring the scenery but also savoring her presence.

"Ah!" she gasped, startled by the sudden arms that wrapped around her from behind. But she didn’t resist. She knew who it was. Instead, her smile brightened as she finally breathed in his scent again.

"You really like surprising people. Don’t you think that’s bad behavior?" Sylphia asked.

"Well, what can I say? I do enjoy it. Besides, if I came the normal way, I’d ruin this beautiful scene—you and the starry sky after sunset, all in one frame," Aldrian said as he tightened his hold around her waist.

"Shameless," she muttered, turning her head slightly to glance at his face, which was already looking at her with a warm smile.

Slowly, his lips touched hers, and they savored the moment—their togetherness held within the serene atmosphere of the fading light.

Her hand reached up, resting on his head, holding him there, unwilling to let the moment slip away.

What began as an innocent and gentle kiss slowly deepened, growing more passionate as their tongues met. Sylphia and Aldrian continued to savor each other’s lips and tongues for several minutes before finally parting, breathless.

They gazed into each other’s eyes, warmth and affection flowing between them, and Sylphia rested her head against Aldrian’s chest.

They stood in silence, continuing to watch the western horizon. The sky had turned fully dark, and a blanket of stars now stretched across the entire firmament, reaching all the way to the horizon.

But after five minutes of tranquil stillness beneath the serene atmosphere, Sylphia felt Aldrian’s hand begin to wander. One of his hands touched her breast with deliberate intent, and his head dipped toward her neck, breathing in deeply, as though he wanted to make her scent his only air.

"Ah!" she moaned involuntarily at Aldrian’s sudden touch. Her eyes fluttered shut as she felt his other hand attempt to touch her slit.

"Dear," she murmured, her voice heavy with desire as she tried to meet his gaze.

"I can’t hold it anymore," Aldrian whispered, his voice low and filled with lust.

Moments later, the sound of clothes being removed and the erotic smooching sound filled the air. Not long after, Sylphia’s moans, full of ecstasy, filled the air as Aldrian pounded her body with vigor. The clapping sound of flesh meeting flesh and a slight squelching noise continued for the next few hours.

Only after Aldrian had injected his seed into Sylphia ten times did they finally stop. Sylphia’s body was exhausted, having orgasmed more than sixteen times. She slumped onto the bed, her skin glistening with sweat.

Her breath was irregular from the exhaustion, yet despite everything, her face held a satisfied expression. She smiled at him, still looking fresh and not tired beside her.

He didn’t seem tired at all, even after all the vigorous pounding and many positions, which truly amazed her. She realized she couldn’t satisfy Aldrian alone in one round anymore, which made her hope that Baek Jimin would be swallowed whole by Aldrian as soon as possible.

They cuddled under the blanket in silence for a few moments before Sylphia broke the stillness.

"So, have you achieved everything you wanted in this empire?" she asked.

Aldrian nodded.

"Yes, my objective here is done. I only need to take care of the aftermath after all the chaos. I can’t just leave after capturing Wilmar and the others. I still need to make an appearance to calm the people, offer them support after the civil war, and help the imperial family stabilize the empire’s situation," he said.

Sylphia nodded in understanding. She fell silent for a moment before asking again.

"So, the time has almost come for the continent to learn the truth about your family? With all the commotion I heard about you in the capital, you were fully revealed. Everyone across the continent will know your name, and it will echo for a long time."

Aldrian nodded.

"Yes, after everything I’ve done, I think it’s okay for people to know about my family. With all those achievements and stories, the negative impact on the Rivas and Flamecrest families will be minimal, or even nonexistent at this point."

Sylphia continued to look at Aldrian, a question she had been thinking about for some time finally slipping from her lips.

"Why do you want your family to be known? You could keep your mysterious origins, continue doing things as you always have, and the people would still recognize you for who you are, not where you came from. Doesn’t that seem safer than letting everyone know who your family is, especially your parents?"

Aldrian, still wearing his warm smile, gently touched her face with tenderness.

"This is all for my father and mother, I felt quite sad if I saw how they can’t meet each other and showing their love for each other because of their families barrier. I want to see them happy after all the struggles they’ve endured, until this point, where they still love me,"

"I want them to unite so they can show each other love, just like you and me, without anyone casting a negative opinion on them. To maintain their dignity and honor as nobles, and to protect them from any ill intentions of those who might try to bring them down,"

"With me known as their son, only someone truly reckless would dare to confront them. From my perspective, there’s far more benefit than loss in this scenario."

Sylphia felt deeply touched and couldn’t help but feel proud of him. Despite his great power and extraordinary true origin, he was still a son to a father and mother.

She couldn’t help but admire his character. Becoming one of the most, if not the most, powerful cultivators on the continent did not make him forget his parents. He still held filial piety and love for them, always hoping for the best for them.

But then, something else crossed her mind, something that made her worry.

"With your parents exposed, doesn’t that mean the devils might try to take advantage of it? The devils might not be able to hurt you, but they could hurt your parents or even use them. What if they shift their focus entirely to your parents once they’re known? With all their tricks, I’m afraid your parents might be in danger before we even realize it," she said.

Hearing her concern, Aldrian looked toward the window where the curtain was drawn.

"They might try it, and I can see that as a possibility. My answer is simple, they can try, and I’ll watch how they end up. If they do anything to harm my family, I will make them pay many times over." His eyes flashed dangerously.

Sylphia, who saw this, could only shudder and hope the devils were sensible enough not to target his parents. She couldn’t imagine how he would respond if something happened to his parents.

Even when Eleine was almost killed, he had invaded the enemy’s capital without hesitation. What if it were his parents? Would he invade devil territory alone? She felt a deep worry, but there was nothing she could do about it. All she could do was support him and help when needed.

"Anyway, let’s not keep talking about something uncertain and worrisome. I’ll think about it if something like that happens in the future. For now, let’s enjoy our time together," Aldrian said, as he kissed her neck, making her instinctively giggle from the tickling sensation.

For the entire night, they indulged in their carnal desires. Of course, Sylphia had to rest a few times, but it didn’t interrupt their passion and love. Even during their breaks, they deepened their bond through conversation on many topics.

They finally stopped when the first light of dawn began to appear.

-----------------------------

Yesterday’s events in the Atria Empire spread like wildfire across the continent. The mysterious swordsman directly attacked the capital, showcasing his mighty technique that could destroy the entire land, clashing with Cardinal Carsius, who wielded a divine-grade spear.

This time, many recorded the event using information crystals, allowing others to witness it for themselves, even without having seen it firsthand.

Many who witnessed the event believed that this might be what a divine technique truly looked like. After so many years, someone had finally comprehended and executed it. Many were amazed and motivated after watching the recording, feeling that an era of change had begun. Perhaps it was the start of a time where cultivation standards would grow stronger again, returning to the past.

The people also finally learned the name of the mysterious swordsman. Aldrian quickly became the most talked-about name across the continent, one that many believed will be engraved in history. Some even agreed that, at this very moment, history had already written his name in golden letters, marking his place in the annals of time.

The name that would resound from this moment onward.
