Chapter 48 - A Date (1/2)

The next day. Yi Ling was waken up by someone, who was caressing her cheek. When she opened her eyes, King Jin was by her side. He was smiling at her, it made her heart skipped a beat. Her heart hasn't been normal ever since she met this man.

"Are you feeling better Ling'er?" He asked, he was very worried that she will be in pain again.

"Yes. Thank you, your highness." She moved to sit up, King Jin assisted her.

"You can call me Brother Jin." he smiled at her.

Yi Ling pursed her lips, remembering their first kiss. King Jin chuckled. He remembered too.

"Yu Ran! Bring in the food." He called out.

Yu Ran came in, along with a tray of food for Yi Ling. He bowed and was about to set the food on the table, King Jin grabbed it before he could.

"Let this King feed his woman", he smiled. Yu Ran was speechless. His King was now a different person, ever since Yi Ling came to the Kingdom. He didn't know if it's going to be good or bad, since she was the Omen too.

"Yes, your highness." Yu Ran bowed and left.

"You won't argue with me feeding you right?" King Jin looked at Yi Ling. Yi Ling shook her head. She was starving, having not eaten anything for the past year. During Cultivation, it didn't require her to eat.

King Jin smiled and started feeding her. When it was too hot, he blew on it first before putting it to her mouth. Yi Ling was embarrassed but at the same time, her heart likes the attention.

"A high King like you, where's your pride?" She teased.

"I don't have one... when it comes to you." as he continued to feed her.

Yi Ling smirked, "How come you don't have a harem? Ain't kings supposed to have tons of wives?". she asked after chewing her food.

King Jin's brow lifted up. "I don't need a harem, nor a wife".

Yi Ling felt a slight pain in her heart, on the last part that he said.

"But that was before I met you. I just need you, not a harem. One wife is enough." He stopped feeding her and looked at her eyes. Making sure that she understands.

Yi Ling's eyes went wide, she then blushed after understanding what he meant.

"I didn't say anything about becoming your consort!" Yi Ling crossed her arms and avoided his eyes.

King Jin chuckled, he put the tray down at the table. He got up and sat on the bed beside her. Yi Ling didn't moved.

King Jin hugged her from the side and kissed the back of her head.
