"What exactly happened out there?" Right now, Aditya was being questioned by the goddess of wealth. Julia, Watson, Amber, and Leo stood near Alicia in silence. A few meters away, while working on some liquids, Paige was also paying attention to their conversation. They too were waiting for Aditya to explain everything.
"Long story short, remember the Key that The League of Black Tomb stole from the Ethereal Empire's treasury." How can Alicia about that? Ever since that day, she has been trying her utter best to find out more about this organization. But so far she was able to find nothing even with all of her influence and connections.
"It turned out that this key was needed to open the golden gates of the Forbidden Treasure Land."
The expression on Watson's face visibly changed. Alicia also looked shocked however, Julia, Paige, and Leo looked confused seeing their shocked faces.
"What is Forbidden Treasure Land?" Young Leo asked.
"The Forbidden Treasure land is a place that is considered a myth. It's a place with an endless number of treasures. In fact, some people would argue that the Forbidden Treasure land has more treasures than the treasures on 7 continents and oceans combined together. When I was very young, my parents told me that whoever enters the Forbidden Treasure land would have enough wealth to become the Ruler of this very world. The value of all the treasures is unmeasurable." It was only after hearing Watson's explanation, that Julia, Paige, and Leo understood how big this news was.
"I followed the members of the organization and that big snake to that place. Apparently, the Great Sage Snake was bought there to fight the Titan guardian who guards the Forbidden Treasure land. For some unknown, the Guardian Titan powers weren't restricted even though we were outside the main continent. After the gate was temporarily opened, I fought the white dragon king while everyone entered the Forbidden Treasure land." Aditya wondered why didn't Great Sage Snake expose the fact that he was following them. If that had happened, Aditya isn't sure if he can fight all of the 5th-order cultivators alone. The chances of him dying would have been very high.
Maybe the Great Sage Snake was planning something very different with Aditya. Unfortunately for him, he never got the chance to execute his plans he didn't know that that the doors of the forbidden treasure land would be closed.
After that, he went to explain everything that happened. He had no reason to hide anything here as he trusted everyone in this room with his very own life. They were his own people. After hearing Aditya's story, everyone except Paige had different kinds of expressions on their faces. The ice-cold expression on Paige's face never left her face.
"So the big snake is stuck inside the Forbidden Treasure land and the Core member of the organization managed to escape."
"Unfortunately yes. But from what I was able to find, he was someone from the Main continent. His powers were restricted to Peak 5th-order." The good news is, Aditya was able to get the storage rings of all organization members except for the storage ring of the White Dragon King.
"I have managed to obtain enough materials to start the construction of the Dragon Palace which would make the Istarin Empire the strongest Empire on the entire continent." Adding all the materials that he got from the mutant fire ant queen, the things that he collected in space while following the organization, and everything that is inside the organization member's storage ring, the Dragon Monarch finally collected all the needed resources to build the Dragon Palace.
"What is this Dragon Palace, that you keep talking about?" In the past few months, Aditya has talked about this Dragon Palace with Julia, Alicia, and Watson many times. But when they asked him what was so special about this palace, he never answered.
"That's a secret. Maybe in a week's time, you all will find out the answer."
"Alright, enough talking. Now lay down. Alicia, when will Riya come?" After making Aditya lie down, Julia turned to Alicia.
"I have sent my Maid to inform her. She should be in a very soon. It wouldn't take more than 10 mi...Bang!!!!!
Darling!!!!
Even before the goddess could finish her words, she was interrupted when the doors were opened and a beautiful figure entered the laboratory.
Riya looked at Aditya who was lying on the bed. Her eyes spotted the dark blue veins all over his chest. Without any hesitation, the nature goddess rushed at Aditya at full speed.
Before Aditya can even react, he found someone hugging him very tightly.
Both a moment Julia was left stupefied. However, Alicia reacted quickly and separated Riya from Aditya.
"Riya, can you not hug him right now?" Alicia strangely felt irritated when Riya was being intimate with Aditya.
"Why? My husband is poisoned. I am trying to comfort him by hugging him."
"Because right now we don't have time for this kind of staff. We will have to find a cure for him." Riya reluctantly nodded her head.
After calming down, she went forward and closely looked at those dark blue veins under his skin. "Can you heal him?"
"It's it was a wound then I could have healed him. But this is a poison that needs to be cured not healed."
"The reason I asked Alicia to call you here is that I need your help." Riya finally turned her attention to Julia. For the moment both girls stared at each other in silence. Aditya swears he can see some lightning flickering in both girls' eyes. Neither of them was willing to back down.
"You're....."
"I am Julia Onard. However, in the future, my last name will change when I marry Aditya. I am his official fiance." Riya's right eye twitched on hearing those words.
"Who are you?"
"I am his childhood best friend and also one of his wives."
"Now that Aditya is no longer a part of the Royal family, the old contract is no longer valid. So you have no claim over him." Today Julia surprisingly looked bold and possessive.
"Oh really....! Then I will just take Aditya to The Celestial Terrain to receive my parent's blessing. In our royal elf culture, once we have chosen our husband, we won't change it no matter what."
"Since when did Royal elves start to have such culture?"
"Right before you were born Kid."
"You....Enough!!!!!"
Alicia and Aditya never expected Julia and Riya to start a catfight on their first meeting. Alicia had to stop them. If she didn't do it, this fight wouldn't show any signs of stopping any time soon. "We will have to cure him. Can we not fight for once?"
Hmph!
Julia and Riya both looked at each other and snorted. One was tsundere who was very shy and deeply loved Aditya. The other had a Yandere personality and was obsessed with Aditya. Neither Goddess was willing to back down.
"Listen, I will need a special type of flower that only grows in certain parts of The Celestial Terrain. From what I have heard this flower has very strong healing abilities. The name of the flower is Crimson Shadblow. I need the Crimson Shadblow flower to make a cure." Julia wasn't 100% certain if the Crimson Shadblow flower would even work. In her entire life, she has never even seen the Crimson Shadblow in real life. The only times that she had seen the flower were in drawings and portraits.
"Are you talking about this?" Riya just casually took out a Green Rose that had 3 finger size diamond-shaped crystals floating around it. The entire flower was glowing in a light green color. Just as the flower was taken out, a sweet aroma spread throughout the entire Laboratory.
Julia hurriedly took the flower from Riya. Riya also acted as if both of them never fought. "Yes, this is what I needed. We can discuss the price of this flower later. Right now, let me make a cure with his flower."
"I never said I would sell this flower" Riya replied in a cold tone.
The next second the expression on her face changed. Both of her cheeks flushed red as she turned around to stare at Aditya passionately. "For Aditya, I am willing to give up anything. If Aditya needed 10 of these flowers, I wouldn't hesitate even a second to give all 10 of the Crimson Shadblow flowers to him."
Julia tried her best to ignore this woman and finish making the cure as soon as possible. While Julia and Paige got busy, Alicia and Riya talked to Aditya.
"Aditya, I have good news?" For some reason, the Dragon King was starting to have a bad feeling in his heart.
"What good news?" Aditya asked with a stiff smile.
"A few days ago, I told you that I was going to see you very soon right?" To which Aditya nodded his head.
"Well, from now on I will be living with you."
"___"
