~Nine Days Later~
The battle ended in a complete victory. They killed the Jia empire power house with none escaping. But the great families didn't end up unharmed. Chani Ju and Jui Tong got severely injured and rendered incapable of fighting. Han Longu injures increased while everyone else had minor injuries. Shin was also wounded, Chiro had minor injuries and Huno fell unconscious for days.
'He is up,' Xue Li's voice sounded in the quiet room and Huno slowly blinked his eyes severally. He was incapable of keeping his eyes open and kept blinking. 'Thank goodness,' sister Sarai's voice was heard next. 'I thought I told you to be careful. Why do something so reckless?' Luna's voice came after her and Huno's eyes opened widely. He stared at Luna, and after comprehending he raised his body.
'Luna.. ahhh,' Huno yelled and laid back immediately. He felt his whole body ache at once. 'Easy, don't get up,' sister Sarai said, holding his hand. 'Are you alright?' Luna asked. The frown on his face turned to a forced smile as he said, 'a little okay, you don't have to worry too much,'. 'We will definitely worry,' Luna said. 'How come you are back so quickly?' Huno asked.
'While running away from the peak rank, I ran into six high ranks. Luckily they didn't see me, so I returned as quick as possible with the peak rank on my tail,' Luna replied. 'Oh, I'm so glad you are back. I missed you,' Huno said. 'Aw really now,' Luna said, and kissed his forehead. 'Yeah and I'm so glad you are safe,' Huno replied.
Luna smiled and put three pills in his mouth and urge her energy to help him dissolve it. 'The last fight. What were the casualties?' Huno asked.
'No one died, but Chani Ju and Jui Tong can't fight, Longu's condition got worse, he can still fight but if he is gang up on he may not survive, Shin is wounded badly too, him facing a high rank would mean death,' Lee Wei replied. 'So those we have to fight are Lilin, Chani Qing, Feng Chi, Chiro, Luna and you,' Huno said. 'We can still keep things balance, where's Chiro?'.
'He is now in charge of the battlefield, the enemy's power house didn't attack head on, they led their army to attack from four various points trying to weaken the formation, so Chiro is directing our army against them,' Luna said. 'Chiro is right, the both of you subconsciously take charge of situations,' Xue Li said.
'We need to deal with the enemy's power house as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more possibility of them having reinforcement,' Lee Wei said. 'If I had not decided to test Chiro's strength in that space, I wouldn't be in this condition,' Huno said. 'Tell Chiro to prepare a plan. In two weeks, we'll attack their power house. If I can help take care of the peak rank, we should be able to gain an advantage,' he added.
'You don't have to stress yourself, get a month or two of rest, we can keep the situation balance for a while,' Luna said. 'Dear, I'm not looking for balance, I'm looking for complete victory. The great families thought of balance. That was their mistake. Anything can happen while we seek balance,' Huno said. 'You are being stubborn. I just hope you be careful this time,' Luna said. She turned to look at Yu Chani. 'junior sister, please tell nine-eight and nine-nine to prepare a meal,'
'Alright, senior brother stop making senior sister worry,' Yu Chani said and walked out of the room.
'Everyone, let's allow him to rest,' sister Sarai said. 'Okay,' Ma Lie said holding Lee Wei. 'Let's go, we need to deal with some matters,' he said and Lee Wei nodded. 'Xue'er, Susu let's go,' sister Sarai said. 'Mom, what realm are you in?' Huno asked. 'She's already in foundation realm, low rank though,' Xue Li answered him, smiling. 'That's wonderful. Teach her well,' Huno said. 'Of course, junior sister Su and I got this. I'm even looking for a good cultivation technique for her,' Xue Li said. 'Senior brother, are you sure you don't want to learn a cultivation technique?' she asked. 'I don't think I'll learn, but if I do, it will be one that increases my speed and movement,' Huno said. 'If your opponent is fast and is good at close combat, you'll be at a disadvantage if he gets close, technique won't help at very close range, and won't do much if you can't activate it fast enough, that's why I need speed,' he added. 'Okay,' Xue Li said. 'Besides, most of those techniques are for Qi energy. I don't use my Qi energy to fight,' Huno said. 'Well, you better start using it. What if one day you can't use those two energies?' Xue Li retorted?
Huno wanted to say something but pause, she was right; it is possible that he may not be able to use these energies one day. They were never his to begin with. They didn't attack his body because his body and that place became one. What would happen if that place were to separate from him one day? 'Fine, when I come across a suitable one I will cultivate it,' Huno said. 'Good better,' Xue Li replied and stepped out with sister Sarai and Su Qing.
Luna got closer to him and kissed him on his lips. 'please try to be careful, I'm really worried, and I feel like something wrong is going to happen,' she said. 'Alright I will be careful, I promise,' Huno said and kissed her forehead.
...
Days went by and it was already three weeks after. 'We should get going,' Huno said looking at Luna who laid on his body. Her head was on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. 'No, let's stay for a few more days. I'm not done having fun,' she said and looked at him. 'Moonlight,' Huno called out. Luna frowned and said reluctantly, 'fine one more day, just one and I'll let you go,'.
She raised her index finger and placed it on his lips. 'shush, don't reply, just agree by staying put,' she said. Huno breathed in and breathed out heavily and said nothing. He turned her over gently, kissed her and raised the white sheet up.
...
'Are you satisfied now?' Huno asked. 'Do you want me to answer that truthfully?' Luna asked. Huno laughed and replied, 'don't bother, let's go take a bath we are a mess,'. He helped her up, got her a robe and help her get into it.
'You've been intense lately. Is there something on your mind? Or something you wanna tell me?' Huno asked, carrying her like a little baby. 'Umm, nothing really,' Luna said.
'Come on, spit it out,' Huno said. She looked at him blush a little and hid her face in his robe. 'What do you think about having kids?' Luna voiced out. Huno spaced out immediately, 'kids???' he thought. 'Am I ready for that? Definitely not, Luna isn't ready either,'.
'I know it may seem sudden but after living with all those kids and babies it feels weird not having one around me,' Luna said. 'And I would love to have one of my own,' she added. Huno looked at her, still hiding her face from his eyes. 'Do you think you are ready for kids?' Huno asked. 'Yes,' Luna answered immediately, bringing her face out. Huno blinked severally and thought for a while. 'Alright, when we deal with the current situation, let's work on having kids,' he said after a while.
'Yes, yes, yes,' Luna yelled and kissed him. 'You promise, no going back,' she said happily. Huno smiled, looking at her as she continued, 'I'll be so happy if we can have twins. I wonder what we would name them. We'll have boys or girls or maybe a boy and a girl,'. 'Sure, why not?' Huno laughed and said. 'I can't wait to have someone yelling mummy or mama,'.
Luna kept talking as Huno walked to the bathroom with her in his arms.
