The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 146: Doesn't Want Him to Let Go And Will He Keep
Commander Zhang was the supreme military leader of the Yin Empire. Zhang Mufan was the father-in-law of Emperor Yin, Yin Ruo. Besides having reached the emperor swordsman, Commander Zhang Mufan himself had many achievements, but within the martial world, Commander Zhang Mufan was not comparable to the great Sect Elders in the Yin Empire.
Commander Zhang Mufan had a strict nature, even to his son-in-law who was a Yin Emperor only he did not hesitate to scold him.
Upon hearing Emperor Yin Ruo's request to accompany him on his way to Peach Peak, the, Commander Zhang Mufan was surprised because after all this was the first time the Yin Empire wanted to establish a relationship in order to create cooperation with the sects that inhabited the Yin Empire.
However what made Commander Zhang Mufan even more surprised was the origin of all the actions of Emperor Yin Ruo who was intending to establish relations with the sects in the Yin Empire. The idea itself came from Jing Yang, a twelve-year-old young man.
Although Commander Zhang Mufan understood because Jing Yang was a grandson of Emperor Jiang and the successor to the throne, but the thought of this young man was different. Although sometimes his way of thinking seems innocent, but Commander Zhang Mufan realized the uniqueness of Jing Yang charisma.
‘He has a sincere heart... I don't think it's innocent, but rather one of the charisma emanating within him.’ Commander Zhang Mufan repeatedly looked at the back of Jing Yang who was running up into the air with Xue Bingyue's body hugged in his arms.
“White Fox, aren't you tired? I'd better get off..” Xue Bingyue buried her face into Jing Yang's chest hiding her red-coloured face.
“I'm not tired, anyways you are not as heavy as you think..” Jing Yang looked at the face of Xue Bingyue who was immersed in his chest. A second later he let out a soft scream as Xue Bingyue pinched his skin.
“Why did you pinch me?” Jing Yang looked at Xue Bingyue's pouting face, the girl puffed her cheeks. That facial expression actually made Jing Yang smile, because he had not seen himself like this for a long time.
Xue Bingyue did not reply, but instead leaned her head against Jing Yang's chest before the two beautiful eyelids closed, “I want to sleep.”.
Jing Yang simply smiled and quickened his pace.
Yin Feng who was lying down and seeing the closeness of Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue only repeatedly let out a long sigh. He realized that Jing Yang had something he didn't have.
‘It is fitting that Qiu Mei's friends talk about it constantly..’ Yin Feng bathed before receiving a mouthful of food from Commander Zhang Mufan.
“Grandfather, I'm ashamed.” Ever since seeing Jing Yang, Yin Feng had been trying to follow Jing Yang who was the same age as him but was thinking more maturely.
Commander Zhang Mufan laughed, “Since when my first grandson became like this.” Commander Zhang Mufan forced Yin Feng to accept the mouthful of warm food that Jing Yang had brought from Yin Palace.
Perhaps because Jing Yang had the same background as himself, Yin Feng also wanted to be like Jing Yang who could make the people around him want to know him. Moreover Jing Yang could befriend anyone he met on the way after helping each other.
Commander Zhang Mufan smiled proudly as his grandson began to be moved by Jing Yang's actions.
The first day of their journey towards Peach Peak arguably went smoothly, before sunset Jing Yang lowered Xue Bingyue's body as well as woke the girl up, then looked for dry wood and made a bonfire.
“White Change, replace..” Xue Bingyue looked at Jing Yang's face covered in a white fox mask and was observing her surroundings.
A short while after having dinner together, Yin Ruo and Yin Feng had already fallen asleep. While Commander Zhang Mufan was on guard while burning the flesh of the Beast Animal given Jing Yang.
“Replace, means?” Jing Yang looked at Xue Bingyue's face.
“On the way I've slept, so I feel bad if you don't sleep tonight.” Xue Bingyue felt guilty. Jing Yang knew that from the expression on his face.
Before Jing Yang replied to her words, Xue Bingyue had already tightened her sitting position and smiled faintly at Jing Yang before signaling the young man to lean his head on his lap.
Jing Yang only shook his head slowly, then he chose to have Xue Bingyue tell him a story in order to eliminate the burnout on the way, especially in this time of rest.
Xue Bingyue started to tell her life story after being in the Blue Moon Palace until the meeting with her. Moments after Xue Bingyue told her a story, Jing Yang yawned slowly and clasped Xue Bingyue's hand, slowly closing his eyes from behind his mask.
Xue Bingyue returned the grip of that hand and leaned her head against Jing Yang's shoulder. Tonight Jing Yang was sleeping soundly because Xue Bingyue was beside him and his grasp, all this time he had been hiding his fatigue, she said, and tonight she expressed her feelings by grasping the hand of Xue Bingyue whom she did not want to let go of and would take care of.
As the sun rose, Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue woke up almost simultaneously, but Jing Yang woke up first because he had Xue Bingyue leaning on his shoulder.
After breakfast, they continued their journey. Until without feeling three days have passed and now they reach a small town under the top of a hill.
Before entering the small town, Jing Yang's entourage met with Xue Rong and Xue Que. They entered the small town at the same time. One thing that made Jing Yang understand Xue Que's words was when he saw many warriors staring at Xue Rong and whistling.
Although they knew the nineteen-year-old girl was the Blue Moon Palace Matriarch, but they dared to steal a glance even whistling impolitely.
Jing Yang watched closely, until Xue Bingyue finally explained some of the warriors who had already filled the small town. Most of the warriors present in the small town were from the big sects in the Yin Empire so they dared to do such a thing to Xue Rong even himself.
As dozens of male warriors approached him, Xue Bingyue and Xue Que, Xue Rong immediately froze their bodies and walked over with a piercing cold gaze that made people keep their distance from him.
Jing Yang was just amazed to see the other side of Xue Rong that really surprised him. But he realized just how great of a responsibility Xue Rong was carrying on her fragile shoulders.
