Chapter 596 - Deliver This Message (1/2)

”Qiu Ling!” Qiang Yan hurried after his nephew-in-law but couldn't reach him. ”Qiu Ling, wait! There's something we need to talk about!”

Qiu Ling frowned but still stopped. He couldn't let his uncle-in-law find out what he was planning. Wouldn't that give his plan away? ”What is it? I want to see Jing He.”

”I know, I know. It's important though.” Qiang Yan caught up to Qiu Ling and looked at him solemnly. ”Qiu Ling, I know you love Jing He very much. You also know I've always been in favor of the two of you being together. But you aren't just Jing He's lover. You're also the king of the dragon race. Please keep that in mind.”

”I know. What do you want to tell me?”

Qiang Yan sighed. ”Don't do anything stupid. Not only Jing He would grieve if you did. The dragons would be the same.”

Qiu Ling blinked. ”What are you talking about?”

”That fallen god. Don't go and confront him. Defeating a fallen god requires a whole army and even then you need an opportunity. So don't even try. That isn't a fight you can win. And even if you have an opportunity … don't do it. Injuring a fallen god isn't something you should do.”

Qiu Ling looked at him in confusion. ”Why?” Wouldn't it be good if he did? Then Jing He might be able to flee and he could bring him back to the Nine Heavens. Shouldn't Jing He's family also want the same?

Qiang Yan sighed. ”You probably don't know but the fallen gods are a special existence. Killing one of them or even injuring them to the extent that blood flows will reflect back on you. If you take any chances and attack that fallen god, even if you manage to defeat him and free Jing He, it won't be the outcome that either of you wants. So please be careful.”

Qiu Ling furrowed his brows. ”How bad can it be?”

”I can't say for sure but it's said to be on the same scale as Tian's curse of the immortal races. Dying might be the best case so don't take any chances.”

”Oh. I've got it. Don't worry about me, uncle-in-law. I'll take care of myself. I wouldn't want Jing He to become a widower even before we can marry.” He smiled and wanted to say goodbye when he remembered that there was an even worse issue he hadn't thought of. ”Uncle-in-law, say does Jing He know about this?”

Qiang Yan raised his brows. ”About what?”

”The thing with the fallen gods. What if he attacks him because he's afraid? Would it be a problem?”

Qiang Yan froze. He hadn't thought of that either. Indeed. ”Jing He knows but as for his mortal reincarnation …” He furrowed his brows. It was unlikely. Even though the boy had remembered parts of his life as Jing He, it couldn't be too much considering how old Jing He was. The likelihood of remembering something about the fallen gods when Jing He had never come into contact with any of them wasn't high. ”Well, he's a mortal right now. For him to injure a fallen god wouldn't be easy even if he wanted to.”
