Chapter 183 - Lengdong Mountain (2/2)
King Jin only chuckled and walked to her side, clasping her hand into his. The two walked deeper into the Mountain. On the 6th day, they finally arrived at the top of the mountain. There was a cliff beside them and the Icy Frost Grass was slightly down below the cliff. There was a small edge where the Grass was growing abundantly.
”It's already night, let's take a rest and gather them tomorrow.” King Jin offered.
”En.” There wasn't any rush hence they didn't know where the Golden Fruit is. Yi Ling could only agree.
In this journey, she was near breaking through the mid Emergent Stage. Since she had quite a huge amount of concoctions and elixirs, what she lacks the most was a fighting experience. She gained quite a lot during this expedition. Now wonder Muxin had called his body here. It was indeed useful. If her son was here instead, no doubt that he would always come to her rescue. She wouldn't be able to gain some experience through that.
This might sound like the two of them were journeying by themselves, the fact weren't like so. Every time Yi Ling needed to fight, she would summon the Divine Heavenly Bow. If not needed, Qianru would be sent inside the Ring to tend to the Medical Garden Field. This sort of arrangement was made by King Jin. He wanted to hoard Yi Ling's time to himself.
Although Qianru didn't like this arrangement, she couldn't voice her complaints. The King was very domineering and hard to reason out with. Not even Yi Ling could. In a way, Yi Ling also likes to be alone with him. This would give her some understanding of this person. Even though Muxin and King Jin were one and the same, somehow she still feels that there were more things that she could uncover for herself. It was hard to explain but one thing was for sure. The two are one and yet the two were not.
As the tent was set up, the fire was propped out for dinner. The two cuddled closer to give warmth to each other. Although the barrier protects them from the wind, it was still better to sit next to the fire.
Seeing her all cozy, King Jin pulled his woman closer. ”When the time that you breakthrough to Sainthood Stage and ascend to heaven, will you allow this King to become the happiest man again?”
Yi Ling looked at King Jin, unsure what he was saying. Seeing the confusion on her face, King Jin pinched her nose softly.
”What I mean is, Will you become my consort again? This time, I will never let you go. This time, I will never let you die.” There was a faint sadness in his purple eyes. This made Yi Ling's heart soften.
She was in love with him, throughout several lifetimes. He was in love with her, no matter what identity she poses. The two always meet and the two always separated at the end. Still, they wanted to be together.
”En. It would be an honor, your majesty.” Yi Ling smiled heartily towards him.
This made King Jin's heart warmer than being next to the fire. He supported her head and kissed her. This time, the kiss lasted until they could no longer breathe.
