Chapter 160 - Muxins Lonely Card (1/2)
"Are you sleeping?" Muxin's voice woke her up from her thoughts.
"No. Just thinking." Yi Ling whispered, yet her eyes were closed. She was currently inside the Ring and was accompanying Muxin on the Hill. She was leaning her head on Muxin's right shoulder.
Ever since everything was cleared up between them, more or less Yi Ling and Muxin's relationship took another step. Aside from occasionally holding hands or hugging, they had been pretty good with each other. Yi Ling would still rather sleep in her East Courtyard or the Sect Master's Chamber. Although she recognized Muxin as her lover and husband, she was still 16 turning 17. She still blushes everytime he hugs her or holds her hand. Fortunately, Muxin's countenance look liked someone in his mid-20's. Even though he is more than a million years old, who knows how long?
"What are you thinking about?" Muxin lifted his right arm out and held her tiny waist. His blue eyes stared at hers, like a hawk with its prey.
Yi Ling gulped. She still sometimes couldn't believe that Muxin is her lover. A Beautiful Deity like him deserves to be placed on top of a stage and just be admired. Especially those blue eyes, she always get herself lost whenever he looks at her.
Muxin pinched her cheeks, seeing that she was not replying. Since the time that Yi Ling came back, he always caught her staring at him. At first he was anxious, later on it turned into excitement and sometimes annoyance since she won't respond. Like what's happening right at this moment. But he already knew the reason of this blank look on hers. The first time he ask, she would only say that he looks really handsome. She would then occasionally sigh or giggled.
He had never understood this reaction of hers. Not even in her past two lives did she act like this. But he knew that she was admiring his face. How could he get mad at that? As long as she was looking at him and her feelings were directed to him, he would never complain.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I was thinking if my mother is alright. She's the only blood relative that I have on this life time. I want to find her as soon as Qianru is done healing. I heard that it should be any day now." Yi Ling snuggled closer to Muxin. Aside from looking at his eyes, she had this bad habit of sniffing him. He had this personal scent that smells like Jasmine. It gives her comfort and a homy feeling.
"En. We will find her soon. But before you leave, learn how to used the Divine Heavenly Bow first. Though your Martial Combat abilities have now excelled, learning to used the bow is going to be helpful to you too.
We've postponed unlocking your seals for long already, it wouldn't hurt to unlock the fourth seal on your way to your mother's location." Muxin played with Yi Ling's hair. He likes doting on her. He had never been opened to her before. Now that they finally cleared everything up, he wasn't holding himself anymore.
"Hmm.. Alright. I'll try my best." Yi Ling gave Muxin a warm smile. No matter what happened to them on the past, it was now all in the past. Right now, the only thing that matters to her was her present.
Muxin hugged her tightly. He leaned his head into her shoulder. He had been stuck inside the Sapphire Jade Ring for a very long time already. Although he wouldn't die, his powers was getting weaker and weaker by the day. It would've been alright if he didn't do anything, but he had been using his powers to help Yi Ling. Especially when she unlocked her second seal, that really took a tool on his powers. His silver hair turned to white and his blue eyes were now lighter.
