Chapter 749 (2/2)

However, they still had to separate sooner or later. She couldn’t possibly stay here forever, Ai La Empire would still come to bring her away.

If she remained like this, as Ye Lang’s patient, she could stay longer but still not forever.

However, there had been certain inexplicable, unexpected changes.

One month ago, the little princess suddenly said her chest hurt. Ye Lang did a checkup only to realise that the little princess was referring to the parts that hadn’t grown yet.

After a careful check, he realised she had hit puberty!

Yep, the little girl was growing up!

If she had hit puberty, didn’t that mean she was recovering from the No-Aging Disease? Ye Lang started to observe her carefully. After a while, he confirmed that she was starting to grow and develop like a regular person. She developed at a regular speed, not too fast or slow, like a healthy person.

Of course, that was just his estimation but he was quite sure she was growing.

Although he could not explain why this disease recovered without them doing anything, and wasn’t sure if it would return but she was currently developing healthily.

Ye Lang postulated that she was recovering due to her starting to cultivate her douqi and starting sword training. These practices must have activated certain mechanisms in her body so it returned to its healthy state.

This was the most logical explanation. He had also used cultivation to cure certain illnesses in him before. The human body was a peculiar thing. Illnesses could disappear when hidden potential was activated.

It was great news to Ye Lang but to the little princess, it was a bad thing. Recovery meant she would have to leave Ye Lang.

She was right. Ye Lang had already informed the Ai La Empire for them to take the little princess back!

He didn’t hate her nor want to kick her out. He really liked her but they weren’t family. If she wanted to continue staying here, it would be up to her father to decide.

“Silly child, if you don’t grow up, how will you be able to grow old with the person you like? It’s a nice experience to have! It’s a certain kind of joy to be able to grow old with a loved one…” said Ye Lang, knocking her head.

“Grow old with a loved one...” muttered the girls. They wondered what this felt like.

Although these were just words, although it was a very ordinary thing, many people thought this was the best thing in life.

Ordinary joy was the best kind of joy. We don’t need very glamorous things, we don’t need a passionate love affair, just a very ordinary ending…

To grow old together!

“I understand but why does growing up mean I have to leave you?” said the little princess.

“Because…” Ye Lang couldn’t think of an explanation for the moment. He smiled, “Because you’re still young and you mustn’t leave home too long. Your father still has the final say right now. When you grow up, you can decide what you want to do with your life. At that point, I’ll support you no matter what you want…”
