799 We’ll Wait For You! (2/2)

Yun Yang sighed softly and said, ”Aunt Mei's identity, origin, and force far exceeds my knowledge. My little farewell gift to you probably won't be significant to them.”

He chortled and continued, ”However, my woman is about to go far away. This departure gift can't be found lacking!”

His wrist flipped and a ring was retrieved.

”This contains cultivation resources that I will give to you. Keep them well. When you arrive at your master's, we have our confidence as well. No need to overly diminish yourself.”

Shangguan Lingxiu was astounded, blood rushing to her face.

My woman!

The shock that came to her accompanying these words was indescribable. Shangguan Lingxiu's eyes were moist. Her gaze was surprisingly shy when she stared at the black ring before her. She extended her right hand and said softly, ”Help me wear it.”

”Once you wear it… you won't have to take it off this lifetime.” Yun Yang smiled tenderly.

Shangguan Lingxiu's face was crimson as she said, ”If it has to be taken off… then why should I wear it?”

Yun Yang laughed. Picking up the ring, he gently brought it through Shangguan Lingxiu's right ring finger. Shangguan Lingxiu trembled throughout the process, flustered, but did not move away. She stared at Yun Yang longingly, fully intending to commit this face to her deepest memory.

In this lifetime, she did not want to ever forget this scene and this very moment.

After a long time, Shangguan Lingxiu went near Yun Yang slowly, as if hesitating. Suddenly, she stood on her toes, trembling, and slowly pressed her lips on Yun Yang's own mouth.

Yun Yang could feel the unusual iciness on his lover's lips and her trembling body. The indescribable fragrance from her was soothing and it was laced with bittersweet tenderness and love. He could not help bringing his arms forward and pulling Shangguan Lingxiu in by her waist.

Petals of lips separated after another long moment.

Shangguan Lingxiu gazed at Yun Yang devotedly and slowly stepped back. ”I'm going now, I have to go now.”

”I'll work harder. Let us anticipate the day we meet again,” Yun Yang told her fondly.

Shangguan Lingxiu stared straight into Yun Yang's eyes and after a beat, a teardrop slowly fell. Finally turning around, she rushed out of the door like she was taking off and kept herself from turning back.

Two drops of tears fell onto the floor.

Ji Lingxi was still waiting at the door, almost colliding into Shangguan Lingxiu.

Just as she took a step to avoid the collision, she was hugged tightly by Shangguan Lingxiu. Then, Ji Lingxi felt her shoulder being drenched with tears.

It was a wonder that the guarding red light was discriminating of sex or it could accurately judge an approaching person's intention as it did not flash and create havoc.

Realization hit Ji Lingxi when she saw how Shangguan Lingxiu was behaving. Tears escaped her eyes as well as she hugged Shangguan Lingxiu tightly.

”Sister Lingxiu, take care! I'll wait for your return with Yun Yang! I'll try my best to catch up to you as soon as possible!”

Both girls sobbed against each other's shoulders, pouring out their sorrow.

Aunt Mei stood aside and watched the girls' tears with a sharp gaze. After a while, she lowered her head, softening her expression, especially when she saw Ji Lingxi's tears.

”The heart of a pure one is the most precious.”

Finally, under Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi's aching gaze and Old Mistress Shangguan's longing stare, Aunt Mei spoke lightly, ”Is there an end to romance? Don't sink your hunger for the path to heaven. Today we depart; who says that girls can't take charge?”

Swiftly, she pulled Shangguan Lingxiu along. ”Goodbye!”
