Chapter 1049 - I Wouldn’t Be a Good Husband (1/2)

The other dragons started to arrive shortly after. They bowed to Qiu Ling but didn't dare to approach him further and instead went to Xiang Yong, handing the herbs to him with a nod.

Xiang Yong thanked all of them and then told them to return to the dragon realm. He didn't forget to say some words of thanks in Qiu Ling's name as well. Anyway, he had done this often enough to be able to do this while he was asleep. It wasn't a problem anymore to make up something even if Qiu Ling only stood five steps away from him.

All the dragons were beaming when they left the Grandelder's palace and returned to the dragon realm.

Xiang Yong put all the herbs on the table and then turned to Leng Jin Yu. ”There shouldn't be anything else missing, right?”

Leng Jin Yu looked over and nodded. ”Other than that one from the demon realm, we have everything. I guess I should go and tell —” he stopped himself from blurting out Jinde's name and gave a faint smile. ”My husband that he can get ready. The demon hunter will certainly return soon.”

Xiang Yong nodded and then thoughtfully watched as Leng Jin Yu left the Grandelder's palace. Just what had that person wanted to say? That really was a question worth pondering.

Leng Jin Yu went over to the dimension, stepped into the array, and then walked over to their rooms. Seeing the things on the table, he raised his brows but didn't take a closer look and instead went over to the lake in the garden.

Stopping next to the water, he looked down at Jinde's figure and his face lit up with a smile. Regardless of how long they were together, whenever they didn't see each other for a while, he couldn't help but feel happiness bubble up in his heart as soon as they met again. A few weeks, a few days, even a few hours was enough to let him miss him. He really had no idea how he had been able to live without Jinde all these years before. Thinking back now, he imagined it to be quite painful.

At the ground of the lake, Jinde opened his eyes, looking up and smiling as well. He pushed off the ground, broke through the surface, and gave Leng Jin Yu a mischievous smile. ”It would be nice if you had just come to see me but I guess this means that I should come out, right?”

Leng Jin Yu sat down in front of him and shook his head. ”Shen Qiang still needs to return. But the dragons have brought over all the herbs from their realm so it is alright to get ready I guess.”

Jinde nodded but didn't come out of the water yet. Anyway, even staying submerged in it halfway was still better for healing than just standing next to it, and relying on the jewelry Xin Lan had gotten him.
