Chapter 177 - Two-Faced Coin (2) (1/2)
When the kiss ended, King Jin slightly pulled away to look at Yi Ling. Although her face was different from the woman in his memories, he knew that they were the same person. Being a Deity, he could easily feel her soul. That was one of the reasons why he knew that her soul wasn't placed right on that woman's body before. Now he understands that it wasn't her body before.
Looking around the room and the Spiritual Energy in the air, King Jin's brows furrowed. He felt that this place was somewhat familiar but he couldn't remember exactly what it was. "Ling'er, where are we?"
Yi Ling bit her lips. She knew that she had to explain everything to him, so as not to scare him once he saw his other-self. "We are inside the Sapphire Jade Ring."
King Jin's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"The Sapphire Jade Ring. Have you forgotten?" Yi Ling remembered the time when Muxin told her about the Ring's history. It was a symbol of his love for her.
King Jin chuckled. "I almost forgot about it. How did you find it? No. You are its owner, so I guess its found its way home." He gently caressed her face.
Yi Ling smiled slightly. "I guess."
Seeing her somewhat perplexed, King Jin couldn't help but be worried. "Is something wrong?"
"I... It's hard to explain." Yi Ling looked at his deep purple eyes. She felt that those eyes could read her mind and heart, so she no longer hesitated. "Have you ever wonder why you lost your memories?"
King Jin sighed. He was indeed curious about the reason why and no matter what he does, he could not find the answer to it. "If it's something that making you feel uneasy, you don't have to tell me. I may have lost my memories but I found you already. That's all that matters to me now." He pulled her again and hugged her tightly.
Yi Ling bit her lips and her eyes became misty. "What if I'm the reason why you lost your memories? Would you hate me?"
King Jin became stiff after hearing her words. It only lasted for a second before he became normal again. He backed away a little bit, just enough for him to look at her in the eyes. "No matter what you do to me, I'll accept it wholeheartedly. Even if you put me to death."
Unable to find the right words to reply, She leaned her head into his chest and hugged him tightly. King Jin's mouth curled up and hugged the little kitten back. Hugging her made him felt relaxed and comfortable for so many years. The longing didn't faded one bit, instead, it became more and more. He finally found his wife. This time, he would not let her go and would not let her die again.
They hugged for about an half an incense of a stick before pulling away. "Are you feeling much better now? Xin'er says that you should be okay after resting." Yi Ling had been worried since King Jin had slept for more than half a day.
