Chapter 904 - How Could I Have the Heart? (1/2)

Back in the Yun Zou Sect, or more precisely in the newly created realm of the Yun Zou Sect, Jinde opened his eyes. He glanced up at the edge of the lake and his lips curved into a smile when he saw the indistinct figure of his husband waiting there for him.

How much time had passed? He couldn't help but wonder about that. He hoped that it wouldn't have been too much. Even though Leng Jin Yu knew that it would take quite a bit of time until he recovered, that didn't mean that he should have to wait too long. Not seeing each other for several thousand years … What kind of life was that for a married couple? No, he refused to accept that.

Jinde got up from where he was seated and pushed off the ground, breaking through the surface of the lake after only a heartbeat. He swam over to the edge and propped his arms up on the stone plates, giving his husband a smile.

”I finally come out after so long and you refuse to even stop your cultivation for me? I'm shocked, my dear. It couldn't be that after such a long separation, your heart went cold, could it?”

Leng Jin Yu cracked his eyes open and looked at his husband, his eyes twinkling with delight at finally being able to see him again. ”I'm more than excited to see you less than an arm's length away from me but I was thinking that it would take a lot longer until that happened. Don't tell me you've already recovered completely?”

Jinde shook his head and pulled himself out of the water, sitting down on the stone slabs, and letting his legs hang into the water. ”No. I also think it'll take a lot of time. This kind of treatment is rather effective though. Who would've thought that getting a small part of the High Heavens would actually make such a difference? It's such a simple solution but surprisingly genius.”

Leng Jin Yu changed from the Lotus position to sitting next to his partner and gripped his hand. ”It's good as long as it works. Anyway, if you had healed before this, then maybe you wouldn't have been in the Yun Zou Sect anymore when I came here. What then? We might've never met.”

Jinde leaned to the side and kissed his cheek. ”We would. It's our fate to meet. Whether it's in this life or any other, I'm sure that we're destined to always find a way to each other. Don't tell me that you think of this any different.”

Leng Jin Yu shook his head and leaned closer. ”I never would. Something like this … It has to be fate.” He gave him a lingering kiss, his lips curving into a smile afterward. ”So how long do you intend to stay outside?”

Jinde stretched and then hugged his husband's neck. ”How long can you keep me occupied?”

Leng Jin Yu couldn't help but chuckle. He grabbed Jinde's waist and pulled him closer, his lips hovering just a hair's breadth away from Jinde's. ”Knowing you and knowing me I'm pretty sure that I could keep you occupied forever. Are sure you want that?”
