Chapter 174 - The Energy Of … Love? (1/2)

With a slight smile on his lips, Qiu Ling led Jing Yi out of the capital before taking to the sky once more. This time he didn't call down the cloud but instead tried to pick up Jing Yi and carry him once again. After all, weren't they much closer like this?

Surprisingly, Jing Yi didn't say anything this time. Instead, he actually hugged him back, closed his eyes and just let himself be carried.

Qiu Ling froze. Unbelievable! He had known that a mother-in-law was effective but he never would have thought that it could be this effective! This was like … like going to war and winning instantly after appointing a different general! Ah! He should have taken his beloved home sooner!

Qiu Ling slowed down a bit. There was no way he would hurry up to that place if he could hug Jing Yi the whole time on the way there!

”My love, actually, I feel like cultivation doesn't sound so hard. Don't you just have to go to a place with lots of spiritual energy?”

Jing Yi cracked his eyes open. He had actually felt so comfortable right now that he nearly would have fallen asleep. ”Mn, that might help …” He clung tighter to Qiu Ling and shook his head. ”It's not that easy, though. The issue is that I don't know how to sense the energy and take it in. Normally, it should work everywhere.”

”And there is no way to learn that?” Qiu Ling frowned. He had felt like his idea was pretty good but now it seemed that it might not help his beloved at all.

Jing Yi looked up at his face and smiled. ”Well, you might be right, after all. I just … don't want to get my hopes too high up. You see, the grounds of the Yun Zou Sect are rich in spiritual energy anyway, though it's not that obvious in the outer sect. But it's a bit of everything so maybe I was just unable to separate the different energies from one another. Going to a place where one energy dominates might reduce that problem. Let's just try it.”

”Mn.” Qiu Ling smiled back at him and actually sped up. Forget it. I can spend time with him whenever I want in the future. For now, I should just help him to make him happy. After all, if I managed to let him achieve what he worked for five years to do, then he should be really grateful. That definitely can't be bad!

Qiu Ling imagined how Jing Yi might show his gratitude to him and was instantly even more motivated. Thus, he used his fastest speed to fly to the place he had chosen.

Jing Yi cried out and clung to Qiu Ling's neck, burying his head at his shoulder. Needless to say, Qiu Ling didn't even think of slowing down. Ah, had he known his beloved would react like this, he would have sped up way sooner!

Ah, this was a day with so many realizations …

Soon, the place Qiu Ling had thought of appeared before them. He had actually found it accidentally when he was searching for the ingredients of the Amethyst Lightning Pill. He had really regretted not having Jing Yi with him right then! It was so romantic it just had to be experienced with his beloved!

Ah, speaking of which … ”My love, what about that pill? Did you already take it?” Qiu Ling slowed down a bit to make it easier for Jing Yi to answer him. After all, the wind was quite strong when they flew so fast.

”Ah, about that …” Jing Yi evaded his gaze.

”Mn? What is it?”

”I … I didn't.”

”Then you should do it now. If you have fewer spirit veins, wouldn't it become easier?”

Jing Yi nodded. ”Probably.”

”Then …”

”I already gave it back.”

Qiu Ling blinked. Hah? His beloved gave the pill back? How come he couldn't remember that?

”Well, I didn't give it back directly. You're from the inner sect, after all. I can't just go over when I want. So, I gave it to a Senior Martial Brother who knows someone in the inner sect. He said he'd return it.”

”Oh.”
