179 Chapter 177: Fathers origin! 2 (2/2)

Right now, Meng Yue's face turned even more redder as a result from the combined frustration, anger and embarrassment mixing up together inside her.

”Idiot! We are so high up in the sky, if I were to let go, I would definitely die!” she shouted again.

Why is this man so dense!

Duan Ling then bursted out into laughter, ”Silly girl, even if you were to fall, what makes you think that I won't catch you? If you want it, I could even make it such that when you fall, the land below you would push you back up towards me..”

It was at this moment, that Meng Yue realized talking sense to the other party was practically useless, as she could not get through him. Thus, she resigned herself and could only sighed out deeply.

After a moment of silence, she turned her head to the side to look down at the view. It has been a long time since she last saw such a sight. ”Why did you stop me?” she said, her voice quivering.

Duan Ling smiled mysteriously and then quickly switched his arm position, holding Meng Yue with both arms as if a damsel in distress.

”Y-You!!” Meng Yue gritted her teeth and wanted to say something more, before she found her lips being pressed by the young man's finger abruptly.

”How could I not stop you? Your sorrow was so deep that even the stars was affected. I have seen many griefs, yet none as pure as you.. a type of grief not from any of the negative emotions, but one that comes from helplessness..” Duan Ling said.

Lifting up his index finger from her lips, he then pointed out towards the stars.

”Do you see all those stars? They are countless and each represents one's own signs. When a person is happy, the stars would shine brightly. Similarly, when one is sad, they would dim out and flicker..” he explained.

Looking back towards her, he then continued, ”You however, dimmed out so rapidly that the stars around you became affected. Thus I wondered, which mortal was enduring so much sadness in them that it would complicate countless people in the future as well?”

From all this, Meng Yue could not understand a single word what the other party was actually saying and could not help but wondered if he was just making things up.

But it was also at this moment that there was a specific word the other party had just said that caught her attention.

”What do you mean mortal? I am a cultivator eventhough my spiritual Qi was out right now for some reason! Thus, I could be considered as an immortal” she said with pride. After all, no matter how far she had fallen from her peak, she still retained some of her powers despite not cultivating for a long while.

Duan Ling shook his head with a smile, ”Yes, you are a cultivator.. but still a mortal.. only those whose mortal wheels of fate remolded into that of an immortal's when one ascended, could one be then considered or called as immortal, although partial at best in my standards.”

When she listened to this, she could not help but furrowed her brows in disagreement.

”But our life span has already increased by at least a few dozens or so more years when compared to mere mortals that did not cultivate.. that means we live two or three more times longer than them usually, that's why we are called immortals!” she said in refutement.

Chuckling to himself, he only replied, ”You will understand next time.. Now, about that marriage..”

...

When Duan Li heard all these, his jaw could not help but to drop down to the floor.

W-What a shameless father!

His father coaxed his mother to marry him!

Still, he could not help but picture every scene that his mother just told him. In fact, it almost seemed as if his father was someone from not of this world at all!

Or at least, that was the kind of vibe he was getting.

”So my father's name.. is Duan Ling..”

That's almost similar to my name..

And he had to agree, his father's name really sounded like that of a female's!

Perhaps, mother gave me this name after father's?

Its only fortunate that his name was much more manly though.

Meng Yue was chuckling every now and then when she told the story, but realizing that the time was getting late, she stood up.

”We'll talk more about your father next time. So, what do you need your mother for?” she said as both of her hands on her waist.

Remembering his original intention, Duan Li inhaled a deep breath for telling her.

”Mother, I actually wanted to head down below the academy and adventure again inside the Eternal Maze!”
