The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 216 - Sweet
Murong Liuyu and Qiao Xi had arrived at the Peach Flower Palace. The first time they went after arriving at the Peach Flower Palace was the Peach Flower House. Arriving at Murong Qiaomi's residence, the two saw the first adult women they had seen including two girls with beautiful charming looks.
“Liuyu, Xi'an. Nice work. It's a good time. Come.” Murong Qiaomi signaled Murong Liuyu or Qiao Xi to join the meeting.
Qiao Xi politely bowed and saluted then sat down beside Shi Surao, while Murong Liuyu sat beside Bai Xianlin.
“With the gathering of all the Elders of the Peach Flower Palace here, from the day the Peach Flower Palace will side with your leadership, Yang.” Murong Qiaomi looked at Jing Yang who was sitting next to him.
“Thanks, Chairman Qiaomi.” Jing Yang watched everyone present in the middle room of the Peach Flower House.
“There's something I want to tell everyone present in this room.” Jing Yang closed his eyes after saying so, then his eyes opened gradually before sharpening.
“I want all of you from the Peach Flower Palace and other sects to gather in the Capital of Huaran on the night of the last full moon of the month.” Jing Yang was intending to resolve all of his matters with Jiang Feng. He insisted on not wanting to involve the swordsman who supported him just because of his personal problems.
Murong Qiaomi stared intently at Jing Yang and sighed, “Yang Mercer, haven't I told you so many times. You're still a boy. You don't have to think too hard and feel responsible and bear everything alone. You can depend on Aunt Qiaomi's.”
Murong Qiaomi smiled and closed his eyes, “Don't call me Chairman Qiaomi from now on, understand?” Murong Qiaomi wanted Jing Yang to remain like a child his age.
Jing Yang responded casually, “Actually I don't want to involve anyone. But seeing the population suffer, I can't stand to see it..” Jing Yang instead smiled wryly considering his trip back to the Jiang Empire.
“When I first killed someone, I fainted from being too dizzy to see blood and body parts. But now, I don't understand..” Jing Yang smiled but the gazes of both his eyes looked sad.
“When I killed them all, I felt something was different from me. I can't tell which is left and right, which is right and wrong. I moved through my killing instincts. When I woke up, I killed them all. And at that moment I didn't feel anything.” Jing Yang was silent for quite a while after saying that made the room quiet.
“Yang, what exactly do you want to tell us?” Murong Qiaomi was the first to respond.
“Prince Jing Yang, sorry to interrupt. Are you saying this because you intend to kill your powerful Uncle?” Tao Qiaoli offended Jiang Feng's figure.
Meanwhile Murong Liuyu and Qiao Xi fell silent. Both of them were curious about Jing Yang's change. Now before the two of them Jing Yang was truly a different figure yet still with his natural kind demeanor.
Xue Bingyue who noticed the look on Jing Yang's face clenched her hands, ‘Yangyang, why have you never opened up to me now?’ Xue Bingyue felt uneasy because to her it was now very far away from her.
“I just want you all in this room not to spoil me too much. I'll handle all this.” Jing Yang did not want to be considered as a spoiled brat, “I will end it all. Be it a matter of the seizure of the throne and the Demon Skull Island.”
After saying Jing Yang added that he would go to the Capital of Huaran the next day. Jing Yang's sudden decision was opposed by Murong Qiaomi.
Jing Yang remained adamant, “Aunt Qiaomi. I'm not gonna say it back. You're saying that increasing alliance cooperation is more important than hunting black-flow swordsmen, right? Leave the hunt to me. I will make sure the Red Full Moon perishes in the Capital of Huaran.”
Murong Qiaomi knew of Gu Ruo's ability, but as he recalled Jing Yang's ability Murong Qiaomi was silent.
Murong Qiaomi simply did not want Jing Yang to feel burdened. The biggest reason Murong Qiaomi trusted and paid attention to Jing Yang was because he hoped that the young man was the one foretold by the founder of the Peach Flower Palace.
“Good. And you don't intend to go to the capital of Huaran alone, do you?” Murong Qiaomi asked.
“Me and Yueyue will go directly to Huaran Capital, while Miss Shi and Aunt Xianlin will go to Xuedong City.” Jing Yang replied.
“Nona Shi?” Murong Liuyu frowned, “Wait, Shi?”
Not only Murong Liuyu was shocked but the entire Elders of the Peach Flower Palace were curious about the figure of the young girl sitting beside Qiao Xi.
Shi Surao immediately saluted and introduced himself. Everyone in the room was shocked except for Jing Yang, Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin. How not because Shi Surao was the Imperial Princess of Shi.
“Yang, how does the story tell you to know Princess Shi?” Murong Qiaomi expressed a complicated expression.
Shi Surao recounts that he was saved by Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin in a great coup and upheaval in the Shi Empire. Shi Surao did not tell much because the fate of the Shi Empire was so tragic right now.
Murong Qiaomi no longer asked because he knew the outline as well as the others. After the meeting, Jing Yang visited Xue Bingyue's room and sat down beside Xue Bingyue who was lying down.
“Have you slept Yueyue?” Jing Yang asked as he watched Xue Bingyue who was on her stomach and drowned her face into the cloth.
“Not yet. What's up Yangyang?” Xue Bingyue sat down and tidied her hair.
Jing Yang smiled, “Yueyue, do you think I have changed? I feel like I am different from my usual self. And it scares me.”
Shocked Xue Bingyue heard Jing Yang's remark. The young man came to his room and wanted to chat with him. Moreover Jing Yang showed the side of the camp as if he desperately needed someone who understood him.
“Yangyang, you're still the same. You're always reliable. But I don't want to endure all this alone. I also want to be useful to you and do not want to be protected by you.” Xue Bingyue leaned her head against Jing Yang's shoulder.
“Which, are you hiding something from me? Am I too weak for you to protect?” Xue Bingyue asked and suddenly hugged Jing Yang's body from the side.
“Please don't stay away from me anymore. I'm afraid..” Xue Bingyue realized that only Jing Yang could calm her heart. Like that night, the night that took everything. Jing Yang comforted himself and encouraged himself.
Amidst the plight and despair, Xue Bingyue looked at Jing Yang full of admiration because as the two were trapped in the Black Dimensional Cliff, Jing Yang was like a sun shining brightly for her.
Just to Jing Yang, Xue Bingyue whined like this. Xue Bingyue did not loosen her embrace, but rather hugged Jing Yang's body tighter and tighter.
“Yueyue, I will never stay away from you. You know, maybe because we're having the same fate. I've always dreamed of forming a family and I want to shape it with you.” Jing Yang blushed in embarrassment saying that.
“Just remembering the past makes me ashamed. Do you remember Yueyue?” Jing Yang laughed softly and laid down his body basket, Xue Bingyue released her embrace and her head slept on Jing Yang's stomach.
“Why did you bring it up? That's so embarrassing!” Xue Bingyue red extinguished her face. Recalling her past as a child, she promised Jing Yang that she would become his wife.
The time was both very innocent, but until now Xue Bingyue's feelings for Jing Yang had not changed, not extinguishing in the slightest despite seeing Jing Yang had many female acquaintances besides her.
“Yangyang, may I ask?” Xue Bingyue drowned her face silvery Jing Yang.
“Bby. Of course can.” Jing Yang stroked Xue Bingyue's head and smiled.
“Are you going to marry me and Brother Rong?” Hearing Xue Bingyue's question, Jing Yang stopped stroking Xue Bingyue's head.
“Yueyue, would you be jealous if I would someday marry another woman besides you?” Jing Yang was curious about this. He said this consciously because of the repeated adult chatter of Ye Xiaoya, Bai Xianlin included the innate nature of Jiang En who was once famous for his weakness in women.
After all Jiang En and Jing Yang were different. Jing Yang said all of this because of the Hell King's mysterious vision and wanted to know Xue Bingyue's true feelings.
“I don't mind, although there is a feeling of jealousy.” Xue Bingyue's answer was unexpected. Especially when Xue Bingyue sat down and looked at her lying down.
Jing Yang laughed and made Xue Bingyue flustered. After that Jing Yang looked back at Xue Bingyue and smiled.
“Yueyue, take it easy. I'll keep our promise.”
“Eh?” Xue Bingyue blushed in embarrassment at Jing Yang's smile.
“Sleep. Tomorrow we will go to the Capital of Huaran.” Jing Yang got out of bed and smiled in relief. He left Xue Bingyue who was looking at him full of questions.
Jing Yang closed the door of Xue Bingyue's room and smiled faintly, ‘King of Hell, the future you showed me will never happen. I don't want to hurt Yueyue.’
