Chapter 137 - Mischievous Plan (2) (1/2)

Memories of Yang Hualing and King Jin flashed inside Yi Ling's mind.

How they slowly courted. He was still hesitant at first, But didn't tried to ran away from her anymore. She became persistent, but just enough to keep him company and not scaring him off.

After 5 years, he slowly opened his heart for her. He brought her to a beautiful places everyday, dine with her with every meals, walked her around the garden and many more.

Though they had never kissed, he held her hand. He wasn't cold anymore, but still reluctant. But it was enough for Yang Hualing, she didn't care how long it could take her to open his heart fully to her. She patiently waited for him. It went on for another 20 years.

Until one day, Yang Hualing was hurt during one of her adventures. Sometimes, she goes into the deepest parts of the land to gather some rare herbs by herself. When she returned to the Jin Kingdom, she was wounded heavily.

She encountered a Saint Stage Spiritual Beast that was guarding the Moonlight herb. It was a rare herb that could bring back someone to the peak of their health, even if that person had one of his foot below to the ground already. Luckily, she was able to get it but she had to pay a huge price.

King Jin berrated her for her ignorance, risking her life for a mere herb. That was the first time that she had seen him got mad at something. He usually had a cool demeanor.

It was as if, he was scare to lose her. That's how he realized that he can't lose Yang Hualing. So he took care of her, pampered her. He helped her get back to her peak and even her Cultivation. So that she could live longer than one should. After all, she wasn't an immortal.

For the next years, their love blossomed. He proclaimed her as his Imperial Consort. His woman and his only lover. The Kingdom rejoiced! Knowing that their benevolent King had finally found someone to love.

Not knowing that it was all part of his plans. A second plan to keep her safe from their world. They shouldn't be able to cause troubles now, since she was now a human.

He only planned to keep her safe at first, until he did fall for her. His feelings for Yang Hualing was genuine. He did love her and also afraid of losing her again.

Unfortunately, As King Jin raised her Cultivation to lengthen her life span. Her powers slowly came out. Her soul was still the same, having the powers of a Deity.

Her dark brown hair was slowly turning lighter, as well as her brown eyes. Even some of her hair had specks of silver in them. Her fair skin also got paler. It was enough to bring King Jin into panicked.

So he decided to search of a way, to stop this process. Lengthening her life, without causing her real powers to show.
