"This pendant has a mana gathering formation which can increase your cultivation speed by 2 times and also increase your mana recovery speed. Not only that, but this 4-star pendant can also act as a defensive shield that is capable of stopping any attacks from 4th-order cultivators. Another function of this pendant is that this pendant can temporarily increase your agility by 50%. I wanted to add more runes on the pendant but my current skills limit me. When I learn to make 4-star rune spells, I will make you something even more special."

Julia tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. This has to be one of the best gifts that she has ever received. This gift was not special because it was a 4-star artifact. To her, it was special because Aditya gave it on their engagement night.

"Thank you, Aditya, I will cherish this gift forever." Julia had a very happy smile that bloomed on her face. Seeing this Aditya could not stop himself from stopping his face from approaching her.

Noticing his head moving, the Goddess under the crescent-shaped moonlight reflecting on her face showed her flushed face. She also slowly moved her face. In a few seconds, both of their faces were only a few inches away from each other. Both could feel each other's warm breaths.

When their lips were only two inches away, both looked into each other's eyes. Those Crimson and purple eyes seem to contain endless emotions in them. From this close distance, both could inhale each other's body fragrance. At this moment as the north wind blew, their heartbeat was in sync. Under the peaceful night of the crescent moon, above the clouds which acted as a blanket for the couples, covering them from the rest of the world, both of their lips eventually touched.

When Aditya's lips gently pressed against her rosy lips. The Goddess's body slightly shivered as she felt a jolt of electricity pass through her body. At this moment neither the goddess nor the Monarch was able to understand this new kind of sensation and the feeling that was born in their hearts. Both of their hearts beat very fast in sync as if both had become one person at this moment.

Just when their lips pressed, they experienced something new. The Dragon Monarch felt a kind of excitement that cannot be described in words. He was excited and also felt addicted to this soft, warm, and sweet sensation. He wanted to taste more of it.

When the cold breeze hit them, the Dragon Monarch tightly wrapped his arms around his slim and soft waist. Without any hesitation, Aditya gently bit her lips making the Goddess who was known to be the most beautiful woman on the dying Isle continent moan slightly.

Mmm~

For a few seconds, Aditya continued gently biting, nibbling on her lips. With each passing second, the goddess felt her body rapidly getting hotter even though the cold breeze continued to gently hit their bodies. Her breathing was getting ragged.

Finally unable to bear it anymore, the Goddess opened her mouth. Aditya finding the chance quickly entered her mouth. As soon as his tongue reached in her mouth, once again the virgin Goddess who never even kissed anyone before trembled slightly. She let go of the restraints that she had and embraced the man that took her first kiss.

While her soft body pressed against his body, Julia and Aditya continued with their first kiss. Aditya's tongue continued moving around her mouth, exploring each and every corner of her mouth.

Mmm~

Julia soon learned that she also needed to fight back. Soon both of their tongues coiled around each other exchanging fluids. To Aditya, her saliva tastes more like sweet nectar. He felt he could get addicted to this.

Their kissing continued for nearly 11 minutes. Being cultivators both of them can easily hold their breath. Nearly after 11 minutes and 49 seconds, both of their wet lips which were covered in saliva reluctantly separated.

Huff! Huff!

Julia breathed heavily as she put her forehead against his. Both looked into each other's eyes. Unlike Aditya who had the body of a dragon, Julia was a normal human. Unlike Aditya who can almost hold his breath for about an hour mainly because of his dragon bloodline, the goddess, unfortunately, can only hold on for 15 minutes.

After taking a deep breath, Aditya put his right palm on her right cheek and said something which Julia will never forget till the day she dies.

"I love you."

The tsundere Goddess's eyes trembled in emotions. This time she could not stop herself from taking the initiative and giving another kiss to her Dragon Monarch.

The Goddess and the Dragon Monarch continued flying above the clouds. Under the Crescent moon, both of them continued to kiss each other for a long long time. If Aditya wanted he could have beyond kissing, but today, this was more than enough.

After about 3 hours of non-stop kissing, Julia touched her wet rosy lips while breathing heavily.

"My wife, did you like it?" Before today Aditya never knew that a kiss can feel this good. Kissing was important for a healthy and long-lasting relationship.

The Goddess buried her face in his chest while she left herself to be held by Aditya. She breathed heavily and weakly replied. "Yes."

Looking around, Aditya realized it was already midnight. Both of them were so lost in kissing each other, that they did not realize how fast time passed.

"Shall we head back?" Julia weakly nodded her head.

Both of them flew back to the Castle. Aditya landed in the garden. He then carried Julia all the way to her bedroom. As much as Aditya wanted to sleep with Julia, he held himself tonight. "Good night, Julia."

The next day, the whole family woke up very late. At 10 in the morning, Sophie hurriedly made a simple breakfast for everyone. After having breakfast, Julia announced that they were going to leave today.

"Julia, are you sure you want to go with me? You can spend a few more weeks with your family." Aditya was going to take this leave. Now that spent nearly 16 days, half a month in this region of the continent, he right now needs to go back so that he can take things from Watson and give the poor old man who was supposed to be his butler but now was working as his temporary prime minister a few days of rest.

"That's right. My princess, you can stay here as long as you want." Adam almost did not want Julia to leave. He felt these 16 days that they spent together were too little. He wanted his cute daughter to stay here for at least a few more months.

"Julia, can you please stay here at least for another 2 weeks?" Even Sophie could not hold herself from asking her daughter to stay. After all, her daughter just returned home after 2 years. The Goddess's mother did not want to part with her lovely daughter this soon. They had many things that they needed to talk about. Sophie still wanted to go shopping and do more girl activities with her daughter. Because of the mana portal and Julia's birthday, Sophie was busy and did not get enough time to spend with her daughter.

"Big sister, can you please stay? I want you to teach me about cultivation."

"This.." Seeing that her whole family was asking her to stay, Julia finally showed a hesitant look. If possible she also wished to spend more time here. But now that Aditya is going to leave, she wants to come with him and help him with her alchemy skills.

Julia finally showed a helpless look. The Goddess also wanted to spend some time with her family. She looked at Aditya as if asking for a solution.

Aditya smiled in response and said. "You should stay here for the next few months. In the upcoming months of winter, I will be busy with many things. Also with the large number of pills that you made for the Kingdom, I don't think we will be needing any pills at least for the next 6 months." Aditya knew how hard his woman had worked for this Kingdom. He wanted her to take a few months of break. It was not like Aditya was going to start another war. Right now his only focus was to develop and upgrade the Istarin military.

"Alright. I will stay here for the next few months." But deep down, the goddess was reluctant to leave Aditya. After seeing him regularly for almost 2 and half years, Julia was going to miss Aditya greatly. Aditya also felt the same.

"Boy, take this with you." Adam threw a storage ring at Aditya.

"This.?"

"This storage ring has all the materials that you need to build a teleportation array." Knowing that Aditya now can make 3-star rune spells, Adam knew his son-in-law can also make teleportation arrays in his Kingdom. This will save Julia a lot of time and allow her to easily come back.

After putting the storage ring in his pocket, Aditya bowed his head to Adam and Sophie. "Aunty and Uncle thank you very much for everything. If you have time, please don't hesitate to visit the Istarin Kingdom."

Both Adam and Sophie at this point treated Aditya like their own biological son. Aditya experienced the warmth of a family, something which he had forgotten a long time ago. He was able to smile more often because of them. Deep down, Aditya was respecting Adam and Sophie like his own parents.

"Don't worry as soon as you finish making the teleportation array, I will be sure to visit you along with little Zak."

Speaking of little Zak, his eyes were full of tears as he was unwilling to part with his big brother. Aditya patted the little boy on his head. "I am not leaving forever. From now on you can come and see me anytime. Just wait till I finish making the teleportation array."

"I have asked Eddie to prepare the teleportation array. No one will know which region of the continent you will be teleporting to." Aditya nodded at Adam with a grateful look. It was not the correct time to reveal his background to the whole world.

After giving one last look to Julia, when Zak blinked his eyes and opened them, he saw that Aditya had already vanished as if he had teleported somewhere else.

Sigh!

"I am already starting to miss Aditya." Sophie sighed. For some reason, their castle felt kind of empty without his presence. In these 16 days, Aditya had become a core part of their family.

Meanwhile, after using the teleportation array, Aditya managed to return to the Eastern region of the continent, to the capital of Nayland Kingdom. Aditya did not reveal his identity. He quietly exited the city and flew off in the direction of the Istarin Kingdom. Right now his speed was [601] without using any skills. Without having to carry someone, he was able to move even faster. Aditya managed to return to his Kingdom within 14 and half hours.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
