Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 750: You are the first person



Inside a medium-sized, dimly lit bedroom, Yue's eyes slowly fluttered open when she felt something cold around her waist. She glanced down in a daze and saw a familiar, strong arm tightly wrapped around her, the touch both comforting and icy.

She didn't find it unusual that Kyle's skin had begun to turn cold again; after all, his temperature had always been low.

With a sleepy expression, she turned around in the bed, her heart racing slightly as she nestled closer into the cold embrace. The soft fabric of the sheets brushed against her skin, and she breathed in the faint scent of him, icy like the coolness of winter.

In that moment, the world outside faded away, leaving just the two of them in their serene little bubble.

Yue smiled, but suddenly she noticed something, and her eyes dilated in alarm. She didn't sense any heartbeat from him! With a startled and fearful expression, she clenched his arm, her heart dropping.

"Kyle?! Kyle!"

The silence around her felt suffocating as she leaned closer in panic, hoping to hear the familiar rhythm of his heart, but all she felt was an unsettling stillness.

Fortunately, before she could scream, a soft hum resonated above her, and the hand wrapped around her tightened further.

"I am awake."

Yue finally released the breath she had been holding when she heard his familiar voice and snapped her gaze upward. Kyle stared at her and offered a faint smile, but seeing his smile made Yue's moist eyes turn red, and she punched him.

"You just scared me!"

She exclaimed, her voice filled with frustration as she quickly checked his heartbeat again. Hearing a faint rhythm return, she let out a sigh of relief.

Kyle blinked with a hurt expression and rubbed his collarbone where she had just punched him, his calm voice doing little to ease the tension in the air.

"I didn't mean to. My heart rate just slowed down for some reason. Don't worry, I can sense it's picking up pace again."

Yue's body shook at how casually he was handling the situation, and she pinched his waist hard with an angry expression.

The moment his grip loosened around her, she pushed him away and vanished from his side. In the next instant, she appeared before the bed wearing a loose, knee-length flowing blue dress paired with light gray pants that accentuated her figure.

"For some reason? Shouldn't you be looking for the reason behind this? Why are you treating such a serious matter so lightly?"

She swallowed hard, her expression bitter.

"I thought... I thought I lost you for a moment! Imagine sleeping next to your partner and waking up only to find their heart isn't beating anymore!"

"You're such an idiot!"

Kyle's expression fell when he saw her crying. In an instant, he reappeared before her, quickly reaching out to wipe away the tear that had rolled down her cheek. A rare look of panic flashed in his calm eyes as he blurted out whatever came to his mind.

"I am sorry. It's my fault. You're right; I am an idiot. Please stop crying."

He wrapped his arms around her, realizing that his many secrets were now hurting the only person he had come to love in his life.

"I'm fine, and I am not going anywhere."

Yue finally calmed down. She held her breath and listened to his heartbeat; it was no longer faint—it had quickened further and was now beating very rapidly and loudly, matching her

own.

She placed her hand on his heart and nodded before backing away.

"You are fine..."

Relief flickered in her eyes, but then hesitation clouded her gaze.

"Can you tell me what happened a little while ago? Is something wrong with you?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He hadn't even opened his mouth to respond when she hurriedly added.

"It's okay if it's something you can't share."

Yue fiddled with her fingers, feeling a bit embarrassed by her own behavior. But she couldn't blame herself; she had just gone through so much in such a short time.

Now, her mother and Kyle were the only ones she could truly call close family. If anything happened to him, she knew she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Kyle let out a soft sigh as he stared at the silent beauty standing before him.

A warm and sweet tingle spread through his heart, even though right now his entire body had turned cold, just like ice.

Noticing that his upper body was bare, glistening with a thin layer of ice, he moved toward the bed and picked up his shirt. With a quick motion, he slipped on the brown fabric that rested just above his pants. And then sat down on the bed, patting the space beside him and gesturing for Yue to join him.

"Come here."

Yue stepped forward and settled beside him. They shared a moment of complete silence before countless golden symbols illuminated the air around them.

Kyle used his spiritual energy, and Yue observed as the symbols eagerly absorbed it, intertwining and coalescing into a radiant barrier that enveloped them both.

The barrier flickered with dense golden and silver glow, and she was completely certain that even a powerful supreme rank would not be able to break through it.

Yue tore her gaze away from the barrier when Kyle extended his palm.

He met her eyes with a smile. It was fortunate that his bloodline had begun to stir again in his mind space, though this time the pace was very slow, as if it were assessing his body one last time to ensure it was ready.

He can just show it to Yue directly.

"It's because of this."

He muttered softly, and Yue glanced at his empty palm with a look of confusion. Her eyes widened when tiny, icy blue particles began to emerge from his skin.

For some reason, her heartbeat quickened, and she held her breath at the sight.

A dazed expression settled on her face as she stared at the particles, captivated.

They were very small, resembling grains of sand, yet there was an undeniable allure to them; they felt like the most exquisite and beautiful treasures she had ever seen.

Suddenly, almost instinctively, a word echoed in her mind: powerful-something

extraordinarily powerful.

The particles danced in the air, casting a mesmerizing, cold glow that seemed to pulse with an

otherworldly energy.

Yue felt an irresistible urge to touch them and extended her hand. Kyle watched her silently

and didn't stop her as her fingers brushed against his palm.

But, as if scalded, the particles scattered away from her touch with a speed that was

impossible for both of them to follow.

Kyle's eyes narrowed as he attempted to stop them, but Yue quickly withdrew her hand, taking a sharp breath.

"Just... what are they? They almost made me feel dazed for a second. Suddenly, I had this overwhelming urge to reach out and grab them; it almost felt like an insatiable desire. I've never felt like this before."

Kyle raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. He glanced at the icy blue particles. Did they just attempt to tempt his wife?

He closed his hand, and the particles eagerly vanished into his body.

Then he held Yue's gaze with a smirk. The barrier around them prevented anyone from prying,

so he no longer hid anything.

"I don't like it, but it's something very powerful. It has given me a lot, but it has also taken a

lot from me."

He paused for a second.

"One thing is certain: 90% of the pain I've experienced in my life has been due to these tiny

particles in my body. Yet, they are also what has saved my life time and again when I was on

the brink of death."

"I was born with it... I'm not sure what others call it, but the name I see in my mind is Celestial... Celestial bloodline."

Yue's eyes widened, and he pressed his lips to hers and whispered softly.

"You are the first person I have told about my bloodline myself."

He moved back, and Yue stared at him with disbelief written all over her face.

Her breath hitched.

"Celestial...?"

She murmured, and Kyle nodded, amused by her reaction. It took her a few seconds to digest

something so significant.

The word 'Celestial' was rare; no one in the universe had reached the true Celestial rank except Azazeal, the leader of the dark side.

After the initial shock, a hint of excitement flashed in her amber eyes as she stared at Kyle

with a smile.

"You have something so powerful in your body... does that mean you can reach the Celestial

rank in the future?!"

Kyle hummed with a thoughtful expression.

"It depends. If I stay alive I can, but if—"

His words were cut short when another punch landed on his shoulder. Yue hissed.

"Don't you dare talk about death! Now you are going to explain what is the connection between your heartbeat suddenly stopping and your bloodline! And why you said it has caused you so much pain!"
