Chapter 990 (2/2)

For some reason, tears welled up in his eyes as soon as he heard those two words, despite how strong he normally was.

Go home.

It had been a very long time since he'd heard the word ”home”. It was already close to 10 years since his parents had disappeared, and they hadn't even sent him a single message during that time. He had no idea where they were, and aside from his parents, Na'er was his only close relative.

However, Gu Yue seemed to have fused together with Na'er and adopted her appearance. There were countless questions that he wanted to ask her, but she wouldn't be able to provide any answers before she recovered her memories. He was really afraid that it would be bad news, and he had already deduced that Gu Yue's departure most likely had something to do with Na'er.

Go home. It was such a simple sentiment, yet it instantly melted his heart.

He wanted so badly to have a home! It didn't have to be big or lavish; he just wanted to have his family with him. He wanted to be with his father, mother, and little sister, just like back in his childhood days, and now, there was also her.

He held tightly onto Gu Yuena's hand as if he were afraid that she'd suddenly disappear, and the two of them returned to their home in the Scorching Basin.

The small room was spotlessly clean, and Gu Yuena pressed Tang Wulin down onto a chair before taking a seat on his leg. She then wound her arms around his neck with a wide smile on her face while leaning her entire body into his arms.

Her silver hair gently ma.s.saged Tang Wulin's cheeks, and she was filled with intimacy and dependence toward him.

She didn't say anything else, and her breathing gradually became slow and even.

Tang Wulin's heart was filled with gentle pa.s.sion, and he carefully scooped up her slender body in his arms before laying her down onto the bed and draping the blanket over her body. He then lay down beside her without taking off any of his clothes, and he gently stroked her cheek before closing his eyes. After a while, he also gradually fell asleep.

After an indeterminate period of time, two drops of tears silently flowed down her cheeks as she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were no longer as clear and pure as those of a child. Instead, they resembled a pair of deep glacial ponds. Her lips were tightly pursed as she looked at him, and she gently raised a hand before also placing her palm on his cheek.

She draped the blanket over his body, then snuggled up into his arms. She then placed his hand onto her own cheek again and completely immersed herself in his warm embrace. She wiped away the tears on her face against his body, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Tang Wulin woke up early in the morning and bought Gu Yuena some breakfast. What followed was a joyful day of sightseeing.

The Scorching Basin was quite a large place, and there were many noteworthy locations that deserved a visit. The two of them visited a few tourist locations and enjoyed some delicious foods.

He didn't hold onto his Golden Dragon Spear during this day as he wanted to completely immerse himself in her company.

Joyful times always pa.s.sed by very quickly, and night soon arrived. Tang Wulin latched onto Gu Yuena's hand as they stood in the courtyard and gazed up at the stars in the sky.

”I have to go, Gu Yue,” Tang Wulin said in a gentle voice.

”Don't go.” Gu Yuena immediately threw her arms around his waist.

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”I don't want to leave, either, but I have to. I'll make sure to come back and visit you soon, alright? I'll wait for you to fall asleep before I leave.”

Gu Yuena didn't say anything, but tears had welled up in her eyes.

Tang Wulin was also extremely reluctant to part with her. This was the happiest and most relaxed day that he'd spent ever since he met Gu Yue. They were like a true couple as they explored the Scorching Basin. If he could live every day like this, then he wouldn't swap this life even for a G.o.dly berth.

”Let's go back to the room. I'll leave after you fall asleep.” Tang Wulin held Gu Yuena gently in his arms.

”No, I want to watch you leave.” A stubborn look appeared on Gu Yuena's face.

Tang Wulin faltered slightly as he looked down into her tear-filled eyes. He didn't want to part with her, either.

”I'll stay with you for a while longer, then.”

Time pa.s.sed by very quickly as they sat in the yard, leaning against one another while looking up at the stars in the sky. After an indeterminate period of time, Gu Yuena still fell asleep with her head resting on Tang Wulin's shoulder.

Tang Wulin carefully carried her back into the room before gently tapping the Demonic Greenbird's head. ”Make sure to protect her.”

The Demonic Greenbird blinked its red eyes in response.

He leaned down and hesitated momentarily before planting a gentle kiss on her lips. He draped the blanket over her body, yet just as he made his way to the door, he couldn't help but turn around and return to her side before planting another kiss on her lips.

”I'm going now.”
