Chapter 420 You Upheld Your Promise(Chapter Preview)
\'Why does this feel so awkward…\' Kai thought as he and three of his wives sat on the bed.
None of them were meeting his gaze as they kept on staring towards the ground. This had been going on for some time as Kai decided to break the silence.
"Ok everyone, let\'s talk." Kai then waved his hand over their bodies and their clothes once again appeared on top of their bodies.
"What are we even supposed to be talking about?" Kiana asked while slightly feeling uneasy.
Kai decided to take a drastic step as he made the area around them completely sound proof. Though it was unfair to the two women standing outside, Kai knew that he had to take such a step if he had to made the the three women talk more freely.
"So, tell me what all of you have been doing in the past few years." Kai asked as he relaxed back and increased the size of the bed.
All four of them were then able to keep their feet on the bed and relax their bodies. After a few minutes, Kiana was the first one who speak up.
"Well, after I returned to the sect with them, it took me some time to get used to the new environment. However, Riang and Watanabe became the ancestors soon enough, I felt as though I was back home.
But then, it became so lonely since everyone I knew had long since disappeared. Though I got to know many new people, I won\'t call any of them my friends or people who really matter to me."
Kiana\'s voice contained a sense of nostalgia as she remembered the moments she had spent at her home before. It had been a fun time and though there had been moments that she had enjoyed her life, it had been much better than what she was living currently.
"Kiana, would you give anything in the world to go back in the past and take different decisions?" Kai asked slowly as Kiana lifted her head.
"Never." She replied firmly as her eyes burned with passion.
Kai could feel her strong resolve as he moved forward and brushed his lips over her. Kiana suddenly jerked back due to the sudden kiss as Kai grinned.
"To think that the woman who challenged me by saying that I couldn\'t satisfy her is jumpy from just a kiss." He chuckled as Kiana\'s cheeks turned red.
She punched Kai\'s right shoulder though it didn\'t do anything.
"Don\'t remind of that…" Kiana muttered as Riang suddenly chuckled.
"I remember that Kiana used to be quite the arrogant woman in the past. She was used to making bold statements and was also able to fulfill them until she ended up meeting you." Riang muttered as Kiana\'s cheeks reddened further.
"Ahhh…" She slapped her cheeks to stop them from flushing. Kai had no idea how it was supposed to fix that considering the fact that her cheeks had gotten even redder.
"What is she like now?" Kai asked Riang as she put a strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled.
"Her behavior now suits her age but from time to time, she will go around defeating the elders in fights while having her fun."
"So I guess she hasn\'t changed that much but has instead learned to restrict herself."
"I guess that\'s true."
"Looks like teaching her that lesson when she challenged me was the right decision."
"Why do I feel as though you don\'t realize the fact that I am right here and can hear every single thing you are saying…" Kiana muttered as Riang and Kai\'s exchanged smiles.
The atmosphere had been successfully lifted up by Kai but there was still one thing left to do. He had to make Watanabe talk and that was proving out to be a difficult task.
"Riang, have you had contact with any of the others this entire time?" Kai asked slowly as he knew that all of his wives had lost contact with each other after they had moved away.
But there was a chance that some of them were still in contact.
"I occasionally hear things from Mia. She has become the ruler of the ice realm beside Eira and the two of them are the goddesses of ice now. Death occasionally sends a message or two telling he is doing good but that\'s about it." Riang replied as Kai sighed.
He then stood up and stared at the sky. The sun was slowly settling down and his day one of resurrection was about to end in a few hours.
"Kai, can I ask you a thing?" Suddenly, Watanabe spoke up as she turned her gaze towards him.
"Sure, go ahead." Kai replied while looking directly into her eyes.
"If you are the strongest being in the universe now, will you go ever die now?" She asked as Kai had to think about it thoroughly before replying.
"The Darkness was such a being too yet he too vanished in the end. But unlike him, I can say that the things I will do and build till the time I live would stay there for eternity. I promised that to someone long ago."
A beautiful smile appeared on Watanabe\'s face as she stood up from the bed and stood closer to Kai.
"I don\'t know about that promise but you upheld the promise you made with me. I believe that you will hold onto it for a long time as well." She whispered before kissing him on the cheek.
Kai closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them and turning right. He moved his head forward and pressed his lips on top of hers.
Kai and Watanabe kissed for a few minutes and stayed in such a position until Riang and Kiana and fake coughed.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Kai then muttered as he broke free and stepped back.
Watanabe\'s face looked the brightest Kai had ever seen it as she clung to his right hand as though wanting to keep him close.
"I love you."
"I love you, too." Kai replied without hesitation as he then glanced at the bed.
"I know what you are thinking and I am ready but don\'t expect me to be like the other two."
