Chapter 630 - The Time Is Long Past (1/2)
In Zhong Gang's restaurant, Qiu Ling had propped his head up on his hands and stared at Bai Mu with pursed lips. This was such a sad story! He fell in love with a woman but then he was imprisoned because of who some ancestor was and even now that he had been freed, he still couldn't be with her! Ah, so sad …
If this was him and Jing He, then he would be desperate! Distraught! It would be a disaster! Ah, without his beloved, he was nothing. He needed Jing He like others needed the air to breathe. How fishes needed water to swim and … Qiu Ling blinked.
Anyway! ”We should do something.”
Leng Jin Yu put down the teapot and glanced at him. Bai Mu didn't even look up.
Hmph. Qiu Ling raised his chin. Those two might not think much of him but he wasn't the dragon king for nothing! The old geezer wouldn't have left his throne to him if he wasn't sure that he could handle it. He definitely had the qualifications. Solving this small problem for his cousin-in-law was a simple matter!
”Since you can't be together with her here you should go somewhere else with her.”
Bai Mu sighed. ”It's not that easy. The Chun Feng Sect has a lot of disciples and they're not just on the sect grounds. A lot of them roam the land. If we ever met them …” He shook his head. ”And now that I escaped, they will have given my portrait to all of them. As soon as one of them sees me, it'll be over. And who knows if Nie Huang wouldn't be implicated if she's with me at that time? My strength hasn't be restored completely. I can't be sure that I'll be able to protect her. If she was to die because she was involved with me … I couldn't forgive myself. That wouldn't be love. That would be selfishness.”
”So you'll live on without her?”
Bai Mu looked out of the window. ”What else can I do? In fact, I shouldn't even be here anymore. I should … go back to my mother's realm and let Nie Huang live her life.”
Qiu Ling shook his head. ”How could you do that! She had to wait for you for so long. You should take responsibility and find a way to spend the rest of your life with her.”
”Didn't you listen just now? It's not that easy.”
”But … there's not just the human realm!”
”So you want me to take her to the demon realm?” Bai Mu snorted. ”That's even worse. The demon realm is a lawless place. There is only one rule that everyone follows: If you're weak, then you have no right to complain. I would need to stay at her side every second to make sure nothing will happen. How could that work? She's human. She'll need to eat and be kept warm. How will I take care of that while protecting her at the same time?”
”At the fringe —”
”Is where the Chun Feng Sect disciples go train. Along with a lot of other 'righteous' sects. We would be hunted down in no time. There is … simply no way for us.” He shook his head. ”Actually, even if there was, it wouldn't be for long. Nie Huang is human, mortal. Sooner or later she will die while I … will continue to live on if I don't decide to follow her. Our time together would have ended anyway. I never wanted it to be this soon but … Maybe that'll make it easier for her. Maybe she will forget me and marry, have children …”
