Chapter 47 - But Listen with your heart (2/2)

All of a sudden, she felt a slight tugged on her heart. Something was happening, she should have able to make her soul stable onto the body. She made countless concoctions for her soul to stabilize. What was going on? Pain gradually got stronger. Until she couldn't help but scream.

"Ahhhhh!"

Hearing that scream, King Jin woke up from his daydreaming. He ran to her chambers, as fast as he could. Yi Ling was clenching her chest, Pain was evident on her face.

"Ling'er!" King Jin went to her side, he touched her pulse. His eyes went wide, her soul was acting up again. He was afraid that this would happen, so he studied a bunch of books about souls. He made some pills just for her. He got the pills out and made her drink it.

Yi Ling didn't stop him, she was in deep pain. She swallowed it. She can feel it slightly working as she fainted in his arms.

King Jin hugged her, he didn't know what to do. He was helpless at the moment. If only he was at his peak, she wouldn't be in this situation. he thought.

After a while, he laid her back to bed. He checked her pulse, her heartbeat was now calming down. He didn't know what made her soul to react again. Was she overly exhausted from cultivating? he thought.

He kissed her forehead and left. She needed some rest. He went back to his study and called for Yu Ran.

"Any news of the thing this King asked you to search?" He directly asked as Yu Ran came in.

"Not yet, your highness. Is something wrong? The servants in Yi Ling's courtyard informed me that she screamed?"

"This King already took care of it, her soul is acting up again. This King need that herb to help her soul stabilize. She needs to make her soul stay in that body." King Jin figured everything out after a year of studying. That Yi Ling was a soul and that body wasn't hers. He studied it partly because he wanted to understand what the Omen was and partly because he wanted to get to know her.

He rubbed his forehead. He didn't want to lose her. Now that she started opening up to him.

Yu Ran didn't know what to say, He knew her circumstances and the sacrifices the King made for her. The pills that he made, he hunted the herbs himself from far away places.

He himself was helpless, like the King. He sighed.
