Chapter 462 - Don’t Forget to Close the Door (1/2)

Jinde was unable to find a comeback. He might be able to be shameless when it was required to seduce his lover but … How was he supposed to react to this when his lover was standing only a few steps away?

Eh? Jinde barely held back a smile and turned to look at Leng Jin Yu with a wronged expression that clearly asked for him to step out and defend his virtue.

Leng Jin Yu gulped. Alright. Jinde obviously wanted him to do something. And he really should. The sooner they managed to solve the dragon king's problem, the sooner he would leave and then …

Leng Jin Yu turned to Qiu Ling and cleared his throat. ”Longjun, considering that the situation with your fiance is partly my fault, maybe there is something I can do to help you with the other matter?”

Qiu Ling looked back at him and frowned. ”You? You couldn't even win against me! How do you want to break into the demon realm and free two of my people? It's not like that bastard wouldn't have someone guard them.”

Jinde slowly turned around and stared at Qiu Ling until his skin crawled.

”Uh … What is it?”

”So you were the one who hurt Jin Yu?”

Qiu Ling blinked. He somehow felt … that this was something he couldn't admit under any circumstances. ”How could that be?! Even though I hate him because he seduced my beloved, I would never be so base as to attack him while I know fully well that he doesn't stand a chance against me.”

Jinde's hand clasped over Qiu Ling's arm, his nails digging into the fabric of the robe. ”Are you sure that is what I'll hear if I send Xin Lan to investigate?”

”Uh … We might have exchanged a few pointers earlier. But honestly, there was no danger involved at all. Now could you let go? This actually hurts.”

Jinde stared at Qiu Ling. He would need to be an idiot if he even considered believing Qiu Ling's words. Fury welled up in his heart. The injury to Leng Jin Yu's shoulder might not have been life-threatening but that was probably only due to the fact that he had been able to evade. His attacker had certainly gone for his heart in a sure-fire attempt to kill him.

Well, he couldn't fault Qiu Ling. He was a dragon and even one that had bound his soul to his beloved. Naturally, he would lose all reason when he was told that his beloved had now fallen in love with another man.

Jinde loosened his grip. ”He's human now. That's something you should keep in mind. He doesn't understand the impact it has to reject you or even cheat on you. Even if he was …” Jinde shook his head. ”Things aren't always as easy as they seem. You know that fully well.”
