Chapter 962 (2/2)

As Li Qingqing came into his arms, Lin Jing also opened his, enveloping her and gently stroking her hair, saying,

“If all goes well this time, we shouldn’t have to be apart again in the future.”

Li Qingqing looked up at Lin Jing and said,

“Alright…”

“Then I’ll wait for you.”

…

…

Lin Jing left but did not leave the Nanming Domain; instead, he went to another place, the Demon Race Secret Realm.

In the Demon Race Secret Realm, within the Qinghuang Palace.

Lin Jing stood before Huang Qingling and got straight to the point,

“Qing Ling…”

“Help me open the barrier to the Immortal Realm; I need to go there.”

Huang Qingling showed no reaction to Lin Jing’s familiar way of addressing her as he had since the time of sharing his soul.

She did not refuse.

Instead, she looked at Lin Jing with curiosity and asked,

“You should be well aware of the situation in the Immortal Dao Realm, and you surely understand its dangers.

Now that you’ve just advanced to the Void Immortal Realm, why would you want to enter the Immortal Dao Realm?”

Lin Jing replied with determination,

“This time, I have a reason that compels me to go.”

Huang Qingling heard this and said nothing, just gazed steadily at Lin Jing before her.

Lin Jing did the same, his gaze firm, meeting Huang Qingling’s.

After a moment, Huang Qingling looked away, as if conceding,

“All right!”

“I’ll help you this time.”

Having said that, Huang Qingling continued,

“When do you plan to go to the Immortal Dao Realm?”

“Now,” Lin Jing replied directly.

“So urgently?”

“Won’t you prepare further?” Huang Qingling asked with a slight frown.

Lin Jing nodded,

“Everything is ready; we can leave now.”

“All right!”

“If that’s the case, I won’t ask any further,” Huang Qingling conceded.

The spatial barrier of the Demon Race Secret Realm could connect directly to the Outer Spatial Void, and Grandfather Shi Tian, Shi Yuan, had once taken this route to the Outer Spatial Void.

After leaving the Qinghuang Palace, the two immediately made their way to the Outer Spatial Void.

Upon entering the Outer Spatial Void, they did not linger and flew straight to the end of the Void Sky River.

Both being of Void Immortal cultivation, their speed was naturally much faster than the last time they had come.

With their full speed unleashed, reaching the end of the Void Sky River would not even take half a month.

Along the way, Huang Qingling chuckled and said to Lin Jing,

“Last time you asked for my help, it cost three Immortal Yuan.

What about this time?

What are you prepared to offer?”

For some reason, since returning from the Outer Spatial Void last time, Huang Qingling had begun to change.

She became less cold and aloof, occasionally revealing some emotions, like now, sometimes even joking with Lin Jing.

This gave Lin Jing a faint illusion that the Huang Qingling of before seemed to have returned.

Especially now, having left two hundred years ago and just returned from the Outer Spatial Void, these two hundred years apart did not make him feel distanced from Huang Qingling; rather, they seemed even closer than before.

This made Lin Jing wonder if it was all an illusion, but the illusion felt so real.
