IW 13 - Love First Look

The girl who wears a light blue dress that sparkles and the image of her curves is clear and alluring. Two feet of snow-white tiers that became the attraction itself.

After helping the girl who introduced herself as Jia Ruan, Ling Zhen was given a request to deliver this Princess of the Jia Empire back to the Jiayang Capital.

On the way, Jia Ruan was more silent and sometimes seemed to complain of fatigue but he preferred silence.

While Ling Zhen had never expected to meet the most important figure of the Jia Empire. Accompanying the Princess of the Jia Empire certainly made her a little burdened, but with this she was able to obtain the information she was looking for.

After walking together for two days, Ling Zhen learned that Jia Ruan had just returned from Zhongluo City to meet his fiancee who was the heir of the Zhong Family.

Jia Ruan with the young man named Zhong Feng had only known for the past three years. Ever since Jia Ruan was saved by Zhong Feng during the meeting of the four noble families of the Jia Empire, he had instantly been betrothed to Zhong Feng.

“Interesting news..” Ling Zhen chimed in and ate the Ice Apples at his leisure, while Jia Ruan ate Ling Zhen's grilled meat.

“Three years ago, this incident that took the lives of my grandparents was covered up and the mastermind of the attack was carried out by the Moon Style House. But the mastermind of this attack was not actually masterminded by the Moon Style House.” For the gem of the time Jia Ruan spoke a lot.

A slightly interested Ling Zhen raised his eyebrows, “What do you mean?”

“The Swordsman of the Demon Worshiping Sect who moves the Moon Style House and searches for the heirlooms my family keeps. With the loss of the heirloom, the four noble families agreed not to discuss the matter anymore because the disappeared heirloom was a relic belonging to a great swordsman of the Jia Empire.” Finished Jia Ruan told him, a cold expression emanated on Ling Zhen's face. Seeing that, Jia Ruan shuddered in fear.

That incident even destroyed one of the noble families, so there were now only three great noble families in the Jia Empire.

“Quiet, I won't eat you. Besides am I that scared?” Ling Zhen did not expect the Demon Worship Sect to also make any moves at the Jia Procuratorate.

‘But why is this Demon Worshiping Sect after an heirloom? What plans do they make by collecting heirlooms?’ Ling Zhen let out a long sigh and laughed softly. His voice sounded different than usual.

“Why do you look so angry when I say Demon Worship Sect?” Jia Ruan ventured to ask.

Ling Zhen stopped laughing and turned his gaze to look at the moon up there, “I've been feeling hopeless repeatedly, every time I think of suicide I remember my mother and my ambitions. After everything that happened, it led me to this story. Princess Jia, I feel very lucky and grateful to hear your story.”

Ling Zhen's smile and expression showed sadness, but the anger that radiated at a glance was very visible on his face. Jia Ruan was confused as to what to respond to, but at that moment his heart skipped a beat.

‘Can't, I already have a fiancee. But why can my heart beat so hard when I see it?’ This feeling Jia Ruan had never felt when he was with Zhong Feng, and this raised a huge question in the recesses of his heart.

“Sleep, tomorrow we will continue our journey. We're close to town, aren't we?” Ling Zhen stood up and looked at Jia Ruan who turned his face away.

The girl nodded slowly, “Yes, we are close to Limeng City.”

Jia Ruan slept with Ling Zhen's Demon Beast skin, the girl was trying to get used to living a new life for the first time.

‘More interesting, isn't it?’ The White Fox came out from the bushes and approached Jia Ruan.

“Yes, this is very interesting because I will kill everyone related to the Demon Worship Sect.” Ling Zhen said coldly before jumping up the tree and staring at the fully rounded moon.

Jia Ruan's mind dissolved in his world, before long he fell into a deep sleep from tired of thinking about Ling Zhen's words heard by him.

The next day, Ling Zhen and Jia Ruan arrived at a village closest to Limeng City. If Ling Zhen walked alone perhaps he would only take a few hours to reach Limeng City, but with Jia Ruan guiding his journey made it take them three days to reach Limeng City.

Ling Zhen learned to ride a horse for half a day before buying the best horse from the seller in the village. After being ready to continue the journey, Ling Zhen told Jia Ruan to ride on the horse back, but the girl looked reluctant.

“Sorry I forgot. You already have a fiance, so you don't want to be near other men, do you?” Ling Zhen descended from the horse and looked at Jia Ruan who was shaking his head.

“Not-” Jia Ruan's voice choked due to her turbulent feelings, “I'm just confused by my own feelings, but this is impossible right?”

“You mean?” Ling Zhen did not understand the intent of Jia Ruan's words.

“No..” Jia Ruan shook his head back before settling in his heart, ‘This is not wrong anymore, it seems like I am in love with him. Mom once told me about first sight love, but I didn't expect the man who first made me feel in love was Ling Zhen and not Fengge.’.

“Alright, I'll ride. But don't fuck with me!” Firmly Jia Ruan with sharpened eyes.

Ling Zhen nodded his head and said nothing as Jia Ruan was already sitting sweetly on the horse's back.

“You..” Jia Ruan gasped in shock as Ling Zhen sat behind him. Moreover, Ling Zhen's chest was taped directly to his back.

“Handles, I just mastered how to ride a horse a few hours ago. So don't put too much hope on me.” Ling Zhen immediately rode the horse towards Limeng City at medium speed. Jia Ruan who first felt frightened, just now looked cheerful.

“View from horseback..” Jia Ruan muttered softly enjoying the scorching sun that was increasingly setting.

As the day neared night, Ling Zhen spurred his horse faster as he saw the silhouette of a city from a distance.

“Better we spend the night anyway soon afternoon change night.” Jia Ruan offered, but Ling Zhen rejected him.

“Limeng City is close, just leave it to me.” Ling Zhen smiled faintly before spurring his horse faster than before.

“Ah, you're scaring me! What if my heart comes out?!” Jia Ruan shouted and subconsciously leaned his head against Ling Zhen.

“It turns out you can scream.” Ling Zhen said slowly and continued to spur his horse, “If your heart breaks, then at that time you will die.”

Ling Zhen's response made Jia Ruan smile widely. This smile of a Princess of the Jia Empire drugged Ling Zhen for a moment.

‘Why did I forget something?’ As Ling Zhen returned Jia Ruan's smile, he felt a murderous aura from behind him.

‘Human boy! How dare you make out and leave me!’ From behind was seen the White Fox chasing after him.

Seeing that, Ling Zhen laughed softly and then followed by Jia Ruan who thought that the White Fox looked very adorable.
