Chapter 559 - He Couldn’t Cope with It (1/2)

When Leng Jin Yu left the house, he saw Qiu Ling standing among the bamboo trees, not moving at all. He couldn't help but frown. The demon king had turned up. Why was he just standing there? Shouldn't he have some kind of reaction?

He looked for Zhong Jing Yi to get some kind of clue what this was about only to find out that the person in question wasn't there. Leng Jin Yu felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Don't tell him …

He made his way over to Qiu Ling and stopped some steps away from him. ”Longjun?” He didn't get a reaction. Most likely, this was really as bad as he had thought. Leng Jin Yu gulped and stepped closer, reaching out to the person left in the bamboo grove. He lightly touched his arm and called out once again. ”Longjun? Where is His Highness?”

Qiu Ling turned around, his expression lost. ”He … He took him away.”

”The demon king?”

Qiu Ling nodded but it didn't seem as if he really understood what was going on. This was just a reflex.

Leng Jin Yu barely suppressed a shudder. Was this really the same dragon king that had fiercely attacked him when he thought that he had made his beloved break up with him? How come he suddenly showed such a reaction?

Could it be he had misunderstood? Leng Jin Yu knew it wasn't likely but he knew he had to make sure. ”Longjun. His Highness is with the demon king Jin Ling right now?”

Qiu Ling nodded again, his brows scrunching up. ”He took him away. He just … took him away.” Qiu Ling's hands trembled. His beloved … had been taken from him. Again. Just what should he do now?

Leng Jin Yu hurriedly caught onto the dragon king when his figure swayed. He barely suppressed a curse. ”Longjun, this is not the time to be like this. His Highness was taken away against his will. By the demon king no less. We have to think about what we should do to help him get back.”

Even though he said so he didn't get a response.

Leng Jin Yu sighed. ”We first have to inform the Nine Heavens.” He looked at the sky and wanted to propose that he could go and handle that while Qiu Ling could go and inform his own people. But then his gaze swiveled back to the house behind them.

He could go and inform them. But what about Jinde then? Hadn't he told the God of War that he would stay in the human realm because he didn't want to be tied down by the responsibilities joining the God of War's palace would bring him? And now these responsibilities were in front of him again. Jinde would understand but that didn't mean that it wouldn't hurt him.

Leng Jin Yu sighed. This was about the Son of Heaven. He couldn't just leave it be. Especially not with Qiu Ling being like this.
