The next day.
Su Nian’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Her consciousness was still drifting in a warm dream, but her physical instincts already drove her to curl toward the familiar body beside her.
The man’s firm chin rested gently against the top of her head, and one strong, powerful arm tightened around her, pulling her entire body into his embrace.
“Are you awake?”
Su Nian rubbed against the man’s chest like a cat that had found its most comfortable sleeping position.
Her small face was buried against his solid chest, and her voice was muffled and hazy.
“Good morning, dear husband.”
She tilted her face up.
She didn’t even realize how natural the address had become—a name that used to make her blush was now effortless.
Her thick lashes blinked slightly.
Her sky-blue eyes were filled with the daze of someone who had just woken up, showing a lack of guard that she only displayed before her most intimate person.
Without waiting for the man’s response, she proactively leaned in and pressed a milky-scented kiss against his slightly stubbled chin.
“Mwah!”
Chu Tian let out a low chuckle, enjoying the unguarded affection of the girl in his arms.
He opened his eyes and looked at the stunningly beautiful sleeping face so close to his own.
His heart was filled to the brim with a feeling called happiness.
“Want to sleep a little longer?” Chu Tian’s voice was still raspy from sleep.
“I can’t. I have to go to the laboratory today.” Su Nian wiggled in his arms but showed no intention of actually getting up.
“The third phase of testing for the Floating Magic Array is about to begin.”
As she spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to her, and her eyes lit up.
“Once the Floating Magic Array is completely perfected, we can take the Floating Fortress and travel together! We can go anywhere we want.”
Chu Tian rubbed her head and said, “That sounds nice.”
“By the way, husband…” Just as Su Nian was speaking, the maid Emma brought in the final dish of their meal, her footsteps somewhat hesitant.
***
Half an hour later, in the dining room.
“Miss Su Nian, Sir, this is an invitation sent by the Third Prince early this morning.”
Emma presented a sophisticated letter with both hands.
The envelope was embossed with the royal crest in gold powder.
Su Nian was scooping pudding with a small silver spoon.
Her movements paused slightly at the words.
She didn’t even reach out to take it; she merely glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and her beautiful brows furrowed instinctively.
“It’s that Third Prince again. How annoying.” She chewed on her toast, complaining indistinctly.
“How many times has this been? Last time it was an invitation to a royal banquet, and the time before that was an inspection of the Magic Academy. And now here he is again.”
When Su Nian turned her gaze back to Chu Tian, it instantly became soft as water and filled with love.
“Husband, read it to me.”
As Chu Tian listened, the curve of his lips rose higher.
Dating the girl before him was truly an immense pleasure, especially since he had earned Su Nian’s complete and utter trust.
This feeling made him feel more satisfied than conquering the world.
He opened the invitation and scanned it quickly.
“It’s the completion ceremony for the Saintess Tower. It’s in three days. They’ve invited you to…”
Chu Tian’s voice was flat and neutral, betraying no emotion.
“I’m not going!”
Su Nian refused without a second thought, her cheeks puffing out, “I lose my appetite whenever I see him. Besides, that guy always looks at me with a really weird expression.”
Chu Tian looked at her adorable appearance and couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch her soft, bouncy cheek.
“But the invitation says you promised him back then that you would ascend the tower and bless the citizens during the completion ceremony.”
“Huh?” Su Nian froze, her fork hanging mid-air.
Although she wasn’t quite sure when she had agreed to such a troublesome task before her memory loss, there had indeed been news about the Saintess Tower being built at the time, and she hadn’t refuted it then.
‘Whatever.’
At the very least, her previous title of “Star-Moon Saintess” had been mostly in name only.
If she ascended the Saintess Tower to grant blessings now, she would be considered a proper Saintess.
Thinking of this, Su Nian looked at Chu Tian as if showing off a treasure.
“Husband, I’m pretty amazing, right? A Saintess! Blessing the citizens! Everyone in the city will see my Light Magic then. Maybe I can even cure a lot of people’s illnesses.”
“Hmph. My wife is so amazing that even I, her husband, am being overshadowed,” Chu Tian said, feigning a sigh.
“No way! My husband is the most handsome and the most powerful man in the world.” Su Nian shook her head adorably, hugging Chu Tian’s arm as she praised him.
“Besides, your Space Magic is incredible. I’m just a little bit stronger in Light Magic.”
At this moment, Chu Tian’s smile was wide and smug.
How could his wife be this cute?
“Husband, will you come to see my blessing ceremony? Then I’ll be able to see you from the stage,” Su Nian suddenly thought to ask, her eyes blinking.
“Of course,” Chu Tian answered without hesitation.
“Then you have to stand right at the front!” Su Nian said excitedly, “That way, for the next few days…”
Su Nian felt that her lost memories were like a puzzle, being restored piece by piece.
Especially the memories triggered by physical contact with Chu Tian; she could feel the recovery of her Sea of Consciousness.
It would probably take less than one month for her memories to be fully restored.
Then, she would be able to remember the process of meeting and falling in love with her dear husband.
When that time came…
‘Hee hee.’
‘I’ll finally be able to possess my husband Chu Tian completely!’
To that end, Su Nian had even borrowed some romance novels from Emma.
(I Picked Up the Legendary Dragon Knight)
(The Hero Just Had to Fall for Me)
(The Overbearing Knight’s Forced Love for the Little Maid)
In the past, she definitely wouldn’t have read these kinds of books.
But now that she had a husband, she naturally needed to gather some experience and techniques.
***
Before they knew it, three days had passed.
The celebration for the completion of the Saintess Tower was about to begin.
The central square of Academy City was a sea of people, a massive crowd swaying together.
A high tower with exterior walls covered in Moonlight Stone rose from the ground, piercing into the clouds.
The body of the tower shimmered with a holy and soft radiance under the sunlight.
This was the newly built Saintess Tower.
Everyone looked up, their gazes converging at the top of the tower, their faces filled with fervor and reverence.
“She’s here! The Lady Saintess is here!”
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the entire square instantly exploded with excitement.
In the distance, a streak of green light cut through the sky.
The Giant Dragon, Little Green, let out a majestic “Roar” as he circled and slowly landed on the platform at the top of the tower.
A slender figure leaped gracefully from the dragon’s back.
Su Nian was dressed in a complex and holy moon-white robe.
Her golden hair was tied into an elegant bun at the back of her head, leaving only a few strands to hang against her cheeks.
Her face carried no expression, and her sky-blue eyes were calm and waveless as she looked down at the tiny masses below.
In that instant, she was divine, noble, and inviolable.
Her powerful aura caused the entire square to fall into a dead silence.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath.
This was the Star-Moon Saintess of Academy City!
