Chapter 782 - Maybe We Can Agree on Some Things (1/2)

Jing Yi bit his lower lip and chastised himself. What was he thinking? Never mind that this person was his previous life's self, he was also the person that meant the most to Qiu Ling. Wishing for his death … That wasn't what he should do. No, he should be able to take this. He should be able to take what had been between Qiu Ling and Jing He and move on from this. If he wasn't … Didn't that say more about him than Jing He?

He peeked at Qiu Ling But his lover was still smiling, fondly remembering the times back then. Obviously, he had been very happy even though it had taken a lot of time to make Jing He give in to him.

Jing Yi rubbed his brow. Come to think of it, he and Jing He had reacted pretty similarly. Jing He had taken ten years to accept Qiu Ling before he gave in and he had also taken his sweet time to accept his proposal.

At first, he had wanted to try it out only to reject him harshly and afterward, he only gave in after they spent the year traveling together. But then things turned difficult when they went to the Hei Dian Sect and he remembered that scene from his past life. And it had only gotten worse after he was trapped in the secret realm at the Leyuan region and took in the energy from that herb he found. The following misunderstanding had almost separated them forever and even when he finally decided that whatever had happened in his past life wasn't important, the demon king had kidnapped him and told him those things. Even though he was back now, the matter that the demon king had revealed stood between them right now.

He would have loved to pretend it was different, but he also knew that they currently weren't in a position to get married and spend the rest of their life happily. Obviously, Qiu Ling wasn't able to deal with the fact that him being alive meant that Jing He couldn't return. And he himself … Well, naturally, he wasn't willing to give up his life for that person.

He had his own life. Why would he throw it away? There was still his mother and didn't he also have friends in the sect? He also wanted to cultivate to become immortal and spend the rest of his life with Qiu Ling. Why shouldn't he be allowed to do that? If he wasn't wrong, then Jing He had lived several hundred years. If he was given that much time, then he should also be given that much time. It would only be fair.

Jing Yi glanced at Qiu Ling and squeezed his hand. ”Qiu Ling …”

Qiu Ling turned to face him and smiled. ”What is it, my love?” Now that he had managed to speak of what was bothering him, he felt slightly better. Yes, they were still in the same troublesome situation. But at the very least, Jing Yi knew. And because of that, Jing He would also remember. That was already very good, wasn't it?

Jing Yi smiled wryly. 'My love', wasn't that the way Qiu Ling had called him from the very beginning? Wasn't that how he had called Jing He? He really didn't like it very much.

Jing Yi sighed and forced himself to push the thought away. ”I understand that the situation is difficult for you. But maybe we can agree on some things?”

Qiu Ling nodded. ”Sure, whatever you want.”
