"I’m sorry," Sylphia said in between her tears.
Aldrian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"What are you sorry for? There is nothing you need to be sorry about," he said.
"I don’t know. I just want to say I’m sorry. Maybe I just feel guilty for crying and making you feel pain when you already have that kind of burden on your shoulders. You have such a big responsibility, as if you are carrying the entire universe on your shoulders, and you must stay strong for those who place their hope in you."
"Yet I’m crying, showing my weakness, and blaming myself. I even tried to be angry at you when I’m supposed to understand you better and not arrogantly think that I could help you in your grand sche just by becoming stronger."
Aldrian kept stroking her hair as he listened, maintaining his smile.
"Sh, sh, sh. You don’t need to be sorry. That is not sothing you should apologize for. Everything you said is a natural reaction, because you did not understand the entire situation. Instead, I’m glad you could feel that way for . That ans you truly care about , my dear."
"And you are not arrogant for thinking you could help if you beco stronger. Didn’t you hear say that I mostly move alone? That also ans there are still parts where I need help from others. If you are stronger, then you can help more, so what you think is not entirely wrong."
"But once again, there are situations where I need to move alone. Even if you were the strongest cultivator in the First Heaven, I would still be the only one who could carry out what I have planned in my mind. That is because my abilities and capabilities go beyond what any cultivator could comprehend."
Sylphia smiled slightly through her tears.
"What an arrogant scoundrel," she said softly, which made him smile even more.
"Well, what could I say? That is the truth," he said in a joking tone. He was still stroking her head before looking toward the door of their room, which was still open.
"Don’t you think so, Jimin, Angelica?" he asked, which made Sylphia slightly stunned as she turned her head toward the door.
A mont later, Baek Jimin and Angelica entered the room with reddened, watery eyes. It was obvious that they had also been crying, just like Sylphia, which made her even more stunned.
Because she had been too focused on herself, she truly did not sense their presence earlier. Since when had they been listening?
"Co here," Aldrian said as he gave a sign for them to sit near him.
Baek Jimin and Angelica did as they were told. Baek Jimin sat right beside Aldrian, while Angelica knelt in front of him. Suddenly, they both hugged his body, which made him stunned. They buried their faces against him, hiding their expressions from his sight.
Being hugged by three beauties made his heart feel as if it were blooming with flowers at this mont. He hoped that ti would stop, allowing him to feel this sensation forever.
"To think that you carry that kind of burden on your shoulders, I’m truly sad that you must always think about it and keep moving forward with the hope of the entire universe pushing you," Baek Jimin said.
"You must feel lonely, having to take all of that burden and hope alone. Not having anyone who could share it with you. It must be difficult for you to store all of that by yourself," Angelica said softly.
Aldrian smiled at them and kissed each of their heads.
"I consider the hope of the entire universe, the hope of many people, the people close to as my strength to move forward. They give purpose and sothing that I need to achieve. They are willing to sacrifice everything so I can keep moving forward, so I must stay strong for them and for all of you."
"Lonely? That might be true if it were my past life, when I was still a solitary man who did not truly have connections like I do in this life. In this life, I have the three of you. I have a father and a mother, my parents-in-law, the people whom I can confidently call my family."
"I don’t feel lonely. Instead, all of you strengthen my resolve to get rid of those invaders for the sake of our better lives. I want to fulfill my role and fate as soon as possible, so we can live happily without having to worry about them anymore."
"Especially you three beauties, who always give a heart full of flowers, always giving joy in whatever I do and at any mont. How could I feel lonely? Just look at this mont. Being hugged by three beauties like this, I don’t need to ask for anything more. This alone is enough to make feel accompanied and energized to face all those invaders."
The three ladies could only smile at his words. Then Baek Jimin lifted her head and looked at him with a sulking expression.
"You said earlier that you t Sylphia in your past lives. Sylphia and Angelica had similar experiences, and they already told their stories during our girls’ talk. But why didn’t I have the sa experience as them? I never had any of those dreams, and you also never said that you saw in your past lives," she said.
Her tone clearly carried a sense of being left out, which made Aldrian understand her feelings. He smiled at her gently, trying to soothe her heart.
"Well, I also don’t know the real reason why you are different from Sylphia and Angelica. But there is a possibility that this life is the first ti we have t. Of course, that would an we do not share past lives like Sylphia and Angelica do, and you only beca my wife starting from this life," he said, calmly stating his speculation.
"This is also a fate. We t in this life, and you beca my wife. You comprehended the Heavenly Demon’s Flower Scripture, while I comprehended the Heavenly Demon Scripture."
"You know, just like the Heavenly Demon who created the Heavenly Demon Scripture, and his wife who created the Heavenly Demon’s Flower Scripture."
Hearing that, Sylphia and Angelica were truly surprised. This was the first ti they had heard about the origin of the Heavenly Demon’s Flower Scripture, and even more so, the fact that the Heavenly Demon had a wife.
Baek Jimin thought for a mont before nodding. "That makes sense," she said, then smiled at him.
"I see. So from this life onward, I will be stuck with you forever, right?" she added in a teasing tone.
"Of course. You will be stuck with forever. Even if you sohow enter the reincarnation cycle, you will always co back to . Even if you try to run away, I will co find you and pursue you. You will not escape from ," Aldrian replied lovingly.
"Well, that sounds romantic and hot...It makes want to try it," Baek Jimin said playfully.
"Jimin, what are you talking about? You are not trying sothing like that," Sylphia scolded her.
"Just joking, Sister, just joking," Baek Jimin replied quickly.
"Dear, you once said that the reason you entered dangerous places across various worlds was because those places had already been prepared for you by your followers in the past. So, does Ao Tianhai’s origin have sothing to do with them as well?" Angelica suddenly asked.
Aldrian nodded. "Yes. In fact, he is a god. A true god, a being who has already reached the realm of divinity in cultivation. His real cultivation is sealed, which is why you can only sense his strength at the peak pseudo immortal stage."
The three ladies were utterly shocked. Had they really been living alongside a god all this ti?
They could not be blad for thinking that way, considering how Ao Tianhai acted in front of Aldrian. He was extrely submissive, nothing like a high level cultivator with great pride or self-esteem.
That also explained why Ao Tianhai had acted so respectfully toward them the mont he saw them after coming out of the Divine Wrath Sea region in the Blue Pearl World.
However, the three ladies then thought the sa thing.
Doesn’t that an they have a source of an information that might explaining what kind of Aldrian in his past life?
If Ao Tianhai is a god that know Aldrian in his past life then he must know many things about him, right?
They wanted to hear it from a third-party perspective. They wanted to know what kind of man Aldrian from Ao Tianhai’s story.
Aldrian, knowing what kind of thoughts his harem had now from their reactions, only stayed silent. He did not mind that they talked to Ao Tianhai and asked him about his past life.
After that, Aldrian and his won talked about many things. As he beca more open about himself, there were many things his won wished to ask and understand.
They continued their conversation until past midnight.
Worn out from the long conversation and the tears they had shed, the ladies gradually relaxed and fell asleep together on the sa bed without even realizing it.
This was the first ti the three ladies slept on the sa bed, and Aldrian quietly looked at them with a smile.
He then quietly left them so as not to wake them up and walked to the garden, where he could see the night sky.
The bright moon and countless stars bathed the surroundings in a calming glow, filling him with a sense of peace while also showing him the grandeur of the universe.
"Son."
Suddenly, his father’s voice called out to him, prompting him to look to the side.
He instantly showed a warm smile as Aldrey approached him.
"Father."
