Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 538: Afterglow

The world was nothing like they had once known.

The blue blanket of the world was adorned with a strand of white wide fibers. They were moving slowly as the gentle wind hushed a stranded leaf. The grasses rustled a fine hymn that could calm the restless hearts.

A beautiful set of rainbows stretched across from the end of the horizon to the other. The bright sun was as radiant as ever but the permeating heat was like the warmth of that of a mother.

The cultivators were captivated by the view. The moment they approached to land nearby, they were intoxicated by the wooden scent of the fresh forest also the earthly scent that had been basked by the blood of the earth.

The beautiful world was different from what they once knew.

Beyond the gate of Garuda City, was a bustling conversation of the market. Many of them were haggling prizes but one could see the smile behind those eyes. Even the guard guarding the entrance seemed to be in a good mood.

“Weren’t they having a natural disaster for almost three weeks straight?” wondered one of the cultivators.

“Are they on shrooms?”

“What about young master Lyon?!”

Of course, the main attraction, despite how beautiful the world had turned to, was back to the man himself. His name and fame spread out exponentially across the world. Nobody dared to tick off or even offend him.

The result of the emergency meeting of those heads was still unclear for the cultivators. However, they could certainly understand that the disaster was not resulting in any significant changes toward the city despite the happy mood of the residents.

The rest of the geniuses were heading toward the tournament that was held in Heaven. They had heard some rumors that he was also planning to join that opened tournament. 

Unlike the rest of the geniuses, Lyon’s strength was still a mystery for those who had not witnessed his strength. The trio before him had been famous already and comes from a respectful family. Whilst Lyon was a nobody before. His identity was shrouded in mystery.

Meanwhile, the young man inside the mansion started to regain his consciousness from the wild session.

“Ngh..” his eyebrows twitched before his eyes slowly opened.

The sweet scent of arrogance yet feminine was dancing inside his nose, kissing his nostrils before letting them go. He opened his eyes wide as he realized that his head was resting on top of the voluptuous breast that could befall many heroes.

“Heh,” he narrowed his eyes as he smirked before he gradually closed his eyes.

“Sleeping again?”

The voice made Lyon open his eyes once more. He looked up and found the auburn beauty was smiling at him.

“Good morning~,” said Lyon before he yawned and snuggled back to her body.

“Hehe, you’re acting like a baby,” said Cecile before she combed his hair with her fingers.

“I wish to stay like this a little bit longer,” muttered Lyon.

“Sadly, not every wish is granted,” said Cecile with a smile before she pushed him up. “C’mon let’s eat.”

“Hm?” Lyon looked to the side only to find the table was already serving foods on top of it. He furrowed his eyebrows as he noticed the slight steam coming out from the soup. (This is freshly made).

“Did Assid cook this?”

“Of course,” said Cecile as she got up and opened the closet.

Lyon took a glance at something that’s creating more heat than the food. He was still sitting on top of the bed, didn’t even realize that there was a huge hole on the roof. 

The sunlight hit just right as the backside of her body was shimmering and glowing. Lyon smiled as he shook his head in gratification.

“I’m taking a shower, you have sullied me after all,” said Cecile as she took a side glance and winked at him.

Lyon slightly scratched his nose before he laid back on the bed with his arms crossed behind his head. His wife walked to the bathroom before closing the door.

He took a deep breath before letting out with a smile on his face. 

“I see that you finally came back after your lustful ‘training’.”

His eyes opened wide before he rose from the bed, “L-Lumina!”

The dragon woman was leaning on the side of the door with her slithering eyes looking at Lyon. It was apparent that she was a bit appalled about what he had done. The latter could only smile wryly in response before saying.

“Well… I don’t really have an excuse.”

“No, you don’t,” said Lumina before she turned her body to face him.

(Damn, this is a hard situation!) said Lyon as he doubt whatever he said would please down the woman that was glaring at him.

She slightly turned her glance a bit downward before Lyon furrowed his eyebrows and followed suit.

“It seems that she is capable of extinguishing your lust completely.”

“Heh, hehehe…” Lyon could only make a dry chuckle as he scratched the back of his head.

Lumina let out a sigh, “Do you know how many days have gone by while you’re nulling your pent-up stress out?”

“Eh? I, uh, I don’t know to be honest, haha!” said Lyon as he laughed while crossing his arms.

“Almost three weeks.”

The one that answered it was not Lumina, instead it was another woman. She had beautiful violet hair and was younger than the latter.

“Luna…” said Lyon as he raised his eyebrows. (What is this situation…). He was in between three beautiful women but the situation was not as much as he was hoping to be. 

Though Luna didn’t show as much glare as Lumina did. He could sense the jealousy that was buried within those pupils.

Luna slightly turned bashful as she looked at his bare torso. It reminded her of the event where she had spent nights in the sky with him.

“I came here to tell you that the tournament that you are going to enter will be held soon,” said Luna after a few fake coughs.

“Tournament? Again… hah…” Lyon let out a sigh. (Why did I say that on impulse… damn heat of the moment!).

Lyon opened his blanket before standing up beside the bed. He yawned as he stretched his arms to the sky before his lips opened and closed a few times. His body felt really weak and exhausted and one foot forward felt like lifting a thousand mountains.

“Eh?” Lyon looked toward the two ladies whose faces had turned as red as a tomato. 

Luna was covering her face with her hands but her fingers let out a gap for her right eye to peek whilst Lumina slightly glance away with a blush on her cheeks.

“What? Why are you guys acting so shy?” asked Lyon before he sat down beside the table. “You have seen it before, haven’t you?”

“T-That’s not it! You should put some clothes on!” said Luna as she pointed at him.

“But we are a family, aren’t we? It’s fine,” said Lyon as he lightly shove her order away with a shoo of his hand.

Though the word family warmth their hearts, his face was hit by the blanket on the bed.

“Hmph.”

It was Lumina who threw the blanket at him.

“Tch, fine,” said Lyon as Luna nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“Have you guys eaten yet?” asked Lyon after covering his body.

“It’s already past lunchtime,” said Lumina.

“But you’re still hungry, aren’t you?” said Lyon with a smile. He vaguely knew the bowel of the dragon was as vast as the sea.

Seeing the delicious food on display, “I-I guess I could take a bite or two.”

Lyon smiled, “You to Luna, or should I say, President?”

Luna jerked her eyebrows upward as she heard what he just said. Their first meeting was back at the Nostria Academy where the red thin line of fate was woven. She was the president of the student council whilst Lyon was filling in the vacant spot of vice-president. Her own plot of entrapping him to work for her turned out to be a success, a huge success if one was allowed to say.

“Just call me, Luna. Oh right! Do you even attend the class at the academy at all?” said Luna as she just reminded that Lyon was technically still a student of the academy.

“Lyon going to a school?” said Lumina as she raised one of her eyebrows. She looked at the young man in front of her whilst sipping her tea. (What would he be like as a student I wonder).

“Yes, sadly, I was forced by the queen there to enter the school,” said Lyon dejectedly. However, without attending that academy, he wouldn’t have met the others either. “Yes, I did attend the class, well, to sleep.”

Lumina gave out a rare chuckle as Luna was letting out a sigh.

The door to the bathroom was opened with a click before out goes the epitome of a woman. She was in the middle of drying her auburn hair with her towel whilst covering nothing under it.
