„Junior Martial Brother Zhong! Wake up!“ Leng Jin Yu frowned at Jing Yi’s motionless figure and shook his shoulder. „Jing Yi! Wake up!“
There was nothing he could do about the effect of the herb but Jing Yi seemed to be going through something he couldn’t take right now. He had to at least wake him up. If he knew what was going on, he might be able to make it more bearable.
Leng Jin Yu once again shook his shoulder but Jing Yi didn’t show any signs of waking up. The pain seemed to slowly subside though and his breathing evened out. Leng Jin Yu sighed in relief. It seemed Jing Yi would get through this all on his own. That was still for the best. The less he had to intervene the better.
After all, who knew what the Fate’s Scribe was doing right now? Maybe this too was part of a trial the crown prince had to undertake. In that case, he couldn’t arbitrarily interfere. Maybe what he thought of as help would end up like the so-called help the dragon king had offered that had ultimately endangered even the crown prince’s life.
No, it was indeed better if he held back. Weiterlesen →

A slight gasp sounded in the darkness, breaking the silence and seeming especially loud in the empty room.
For a while, his ragged breaths were the only thing filling the silence. If not for the pain that still racked his whole being whenever he took a breath, he might not have been sure whether he was still alive.
He turned to the side and curled up in the hope of alleviating the pain but it didn’t help. On the contrary, the movement made it even more painful. He pressed his eyes shut and continued to lie in the darkness, not moving a single inch for fear of suffering through another bout of pain. Weiterlesen →

Outside of the secret realm, Qiu Ling was pacing up and down. „Why is this taking so long?!“ He glared at Qiang Wei who was waiting beside him.
„Your Majesty … Didn’t An Bai already say that they needed to research on the array first? They have already decided on the next steps and are working on it. That is the most that can be done for now.“
Qiu Ling stopped walking. „Ah, there has to be something I can do! My beloved is all alone in there!“
„There’s that senior —“
„He’s probably scared! And lonely! And misses me very much.“
Qiang Wei shut up. He deeply felt that his king wasn’t interested in what he had to say anyway. Weiterlesen →

Soon enough, Jing Yi and Leng Jin Yu reached the lake they had seen a while ago. They hadn’t talked anymore since the Beguiling Night Tree’s fruit was brought up. Jing Yi wasn’t in the mood to ask anything else anymore and Leng Jin Yu was pondering over what he had seen before.
Leng Jin Yu just shook his head upon reaching the lake and surfaced from his thoughts while Jing Yi still had trouble to shake that memory off. Well, after living not even twenty years in this mortal life it probably couldn’t be expected of him to have the same mental fortitude as Leng Jin Yu who had already lived many years until ascension.

„Maybe?“ Jing Yi blinked. Why did this sound as if Yu Jin wasn’t sure? Shouldn’t he know whether or not he was in love?
Leng Jin Yu smiled. „It’s a little complicated.“
„Senior Martial Brother … isn’t sure if that person likes you back?“ He couldn’t see any other reason why Yu Jin would answer like that. Well … it certainly wouldn’t have been like with Qiu Ling and him back then, would it?
Leng Jin Yu smiled at Jing Yi’s weird out expression. He really wondered what he was imagining right now. „That’s not quite it.“ He fell silent and looked at the clear sky for a while. It shouldn’t be a problem to tell him, should it? After all, it didn’t concern the matter of the crown prince’s own descent to the mortal world. And it wasn’t impossible for cultivators of a higher stage to remember parts of their past lives. It shouldn’t raise any questions. Weiterlesen →
