The fallen god poked Jing Yi’s forehead. “See? That’s what I was talking about. You clearly love him but you don’t trust him.”
“Ah?”
“You thought you couldn’t trust him. But you love him and he’s a dragon. He even bound his soul to yours. What more can you expect? If you can’t trust that person, then you can’t trust anyone. Not even yourself.”
Jing Yi just stared at him. So his thoughts had been this obvious …
“Dragons are good people. The only good people around. If they fall in love with someone, they will love them forever.” Continue reading →

While Qiu Ling prepared to set his plan in motion, Jing Yi looked at the black eyes of the person in front of him in bewilderment. “This … Where is this?” This certainly wasn’t outside of the demon king’s palace! No, this rather seemed to be deeper inside. Had he been tricked?
Jing Yi bit his lower lip. Ah, why had he trusted this man so easily? He hadn’t even said that he knew Qiu Ling! But then again, he had immediately asked whether he was his lover when he brought up his name. Didn’t this mean that he knew him after all?
The fallen god didn’t answer and just continued to examine Jing Yi’s face.
“You … Just what do you want to do?” This didn’t make any sense! If he was on their side, then he should have brought him back to Qiu Ling. If he was on the demon king’s side, then why had he brought him to another place? Or was there somebody else involved in this? Somebody he didn’t know of yet? Continue reading →

Leng Jin Yu’s lips twitched. “I don’t think it works that way …”
Qiu Ling snorted. “What are you trying to say? That you wouldn’t have given the child you have with Jinde preferential treatment? You have to be kidding me! I am the proof of you cheating on him! You probably would have wanted to abandon me as soon as the two of you got married.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Qiu Ling blinked. “You really think you could have treated us equally?”
“No … I mean, yes. But that’s not what I was talking about.”
Qiu Ling looked at him skeptically. This guy actually dared to pretend he wouldn’t have preferred his love child with Jinde over him! How dishonest could one get? Continue reading →

When Leng Jin Yu opened the door, he found the dragon king squatting right in front of it, holding a twig and drawing … something that looked like a surprisingly life-like person. He couldn’t help but tilt his head and look a while longer. This was probably the true appearance of the Son of Heaven? Otherwise, the dragon king certainly wouldn’t have spent that much effort on this.
Seeing his husband halt in the doorway Jinde couldn’t help but glance over his shoulder to find out what was going on. Ah, so it turned out it was that bear child again.
Jinde pondered and glanced at Leng Jin Yu who still looked at the drawing. Considering what he had said before he still had trouble coping with his identity from his past life. Accepting a lover already brought some problems with it and it should be even worse for this troublesome son. In that case … as a responsible husband, he should help Leng Jin Yu connect with his son. Continue reading →

Jinde observed Leng Jin Yu’s expression and frowned. “Just what are you thinking about? You’re looking so … unhappy.”
Leng Jin Yu sighed. “I guess I can’t hide anything from you.” He got up and walked over to the window, sighing. “It’s just … I feel inadequate. I didn’t notice before while we were staying here without any worries, just spending our days leisurely, maybe being interrupted by my Master every now and then and some tasks cropping up in the sect that I needed to attend to. But today …” He sighed again and turned back to look at Jinde. “If it concerns the gods, I know a little. If it concerns the dragons, then I know almost nothing. If it’s about a matter like this, involving so many people and all the different races, then I’m helpless. There is nothing I can do for you while …” He stopped. Bringing up Xin Lan certainly wasn’t the way to go. This person meant a lot to Jinde and he didn’t want to get between them. Being jealous wasn’t what he should do.
Jinde smiled. “I’m not feeling much different.”
“Mn?” Continue reading →

Qiu Ling gritted his teeth. Unfortunately, Xin Lan was right. He couldn’t deny that. “Then do you have a better plan?”
Xin Lan snorted. “As long as you don’t know anything about that fallen god, it’s futile to try to find something out in the Nine Heavens. And searching for him in the demon realm is just as impossible. He’s a fallen god. If he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be found. Or do you think you’re better than Tian himself?”
Qiu Ling pursed his lips. He had never met this Tian so how would he know which one of them was better? Anyway, this guy still hadn’t answered his question! “So what is your plan?”
“I don’t have one. There is nothing you can do besides hoping that that fallen god will show mercy.”
Qiu Ling looked at the projection and his lips slowly curved up in a smile. Thankfully, he had thought of a countermeasure before in case this guy was uncooperative. “Are you sure you can’t come up with a plan?” Continue reading →

Qiu Ling pursed his lips and indeed turned away. These guys! How could they do this to him? They pretended to be his family but they actually dared to show him their affection while his beloved had been separated from him and needed to fear for his life in the hands of some despicable fallen god! They were so cruel! Hmph. He’d just ignore them. Contacting Xin Lan to get his beloved back was much, much more important. Thus he imbued his spiritual energy into the pendant and waited.
Naturally, he didn’t need to wait long. The pendant had only lit up and managed to pulse once when Xin Lan’s face was projected above it. “Ma—” He frowned. “Why do you have His Majesty’s pendant?”
“He lent it to me.” Qiu Ling lifted the pendant a little, letting Xin Lan see the scene behind him. By now, Jinde had managed to climb onto his husband’s lap and had burrowed his fingers into his black hair, smiling happily while they kissed. Continue reading →

Jinde wasn’t happy with his stepson’s behavior either. “Qiu Ling! What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you ran over from the dragon realm this fast! Could it be you just wanted to lure my husband away from here and were lying in ambush?!”
Qiu Ling stopped clamoring. Shit! He had completely forgotten that the old geezer was also here! He hurriedly looked around and finally pushed Fu Min away. “You go and make sure that no spy comes close!” Then he pushed the door open and hurried in, slamming it shut behind him.
“Old geezer, I’m sorry! I forgot about you!”
Jinde’s brows twitched and he hurled the comb Leng Jin Yu had just used to do his hair at Qiu Ling. “Stop calling me old already! I’m your stepfather!” Continue reading →

At the same time, Fu Min left the dragon realm in a daze. He couldn’t help but wonder about the message that ‘An Bai’ had left him. Never mind that that had obviously been His Majesty’s handwriting too, why had he needed to travel to the Nine Heavens and then the dragon realm for this kind of simple instruction? In fact, his king only wanted him to go to the Yun Zou Sect and tell the person from the gods that he should go and see him.
Uhm … Excuse him? His Majesty could have gone there by himself and just talked to him directly. Even if he felt that this was beneath his dignity as the king of the dragon race — which he certainly didn’t, considering his usual behavior — he could have just contacted one of them with the transmission stone and told him to go over there instead of leaving messages like that.
