Chapter 192 - I’ll Deal With It (2/2)

Qiu Ling sighed inwardly. He had hesitated a bit too long. Now, he'd have to wait for another opportunity. But, well, it wasn't that bad. His beloved was right: This wasn't a good place to get married. It really wasn't. And his beloved should have the best possible place, the best of everything. Their first time together was supposed to be an unforgettable experience for him. One he would love to think back to.

Qiu Ling smiled and cupped Jing Yi's cheeks, giving him a small peck on his lips. ”Alright. Let's get out of here.”

Jing Yi raised his brows. Just like that? If it was that easy, shouldn't Qiu Ling have been able to free himself a long time ago? Why had he been in a coma for the last two weeks then? ”How do you want to get out?”

Qiu Ling smiled. ”You don't have to worry about it. Just let me take care of it.”

Jing Yi looked into those eyes that had taken him captive from the moment he first saw him. He felt an inexplicable trust towards him. If Qiu Ling said that he could get them out of here, then he probably could. He nodded and stood up from Qiu Ling's lap.

Qiu Ling followed him and gently turned him around again. ”Don't look.”

”Mn.” Jing Yi nodded and waited.

Qiu Ling went over to the red-haired woman and stared down at her sitting figure. He couldn't talk since Jing Yi was there with him but in the end, maybe there wasn't anything he had to say.

He had killed her because she had seen something she shouldn't have. He was sorry for that and yes, he did feel a bit guilty. After all, this had been a young life. She hadn't deserved dying. Especially not at the hands of the man she had fallen in love with. But … if he was in the same situation again, he would still do it all the same. Because he had to keep this secret. At all costs. And that included her life.

He took his sword out of his spatial ring and peeked at Jing Yi. Good, his beloved was still obediently facing the other direction. Qiu Ling unsheathed his weapon and took one last look at the woman in front of him. Honestly, he didn't even remember her name. Well, maybe he hadn't known it in the first place.

He shook his head to clear it of these random thoughts and brandished his sword. The woman's head fell to the ground with a thump.

”Qiu Ling, what —” Before Jing Yi could turn around and ask his question, a warm hand covered his eyes.

”Don't look.”

Qiu Ling silently sheathed his sword and put it back into his spatial ring. Then, he looked up at the sky and waited. He had dealt with her already. Now, the sky should light up and they should be transported out of this dimension.

The seconds trickled by but nothing happened. Qiu Ling frowned. This couldn't be! Why were they still in here?! No, they had to get out! He had already told Jing Yi that he should just trust him with this! How would it look like if he was unable to get them out now?! This was a complete loss of face! And that in front of his beloved!

Qiu Ling hugged Jing Yi to his chest, prepared to burst into tears. This was the worst day of his life!
