Although Ling Xiao had obtained a supreme spirit material from Duke Lian Hao, he wasn't too excited or happy about it.
The days he spent with Yan Die Jiao were quite good, and they already felt like good friends. If he were to distance himself from her in the future, he would feel a bit uncomfortable.
Since ancient times, even heroes had a weakness for beauties!
Ever since Ling Xiao came to the Heaven Domain, he had always controlled his emotions and never fell for any woman.
However, it was undeniable that his playboy heart had always been there. He had a natural desire to get close to beauties, but he always suppressed it and didn't accept them all.
"Forget it, too much love has always been replaced with regret!
I should sever my own mortal world! 'Ling Xiao consoled herself in her heart.
Having too many women was also a troublesome matter, so he decided not to stay!
After saying goodbye to Duke Lian Hao, he didn't go find Yan Die Jiao. Instead, he planned to leave the palace city and travel around the Heaven Source Region.
He returned to his courtyard, intending to bid farewell to the people in the courtyard and leave. But as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he was stunned!
Yan Die Jiao was sitting in the courtyard with her chin resting on her hand. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the spirit flowers in the courtyard as if there was an indescribable sadness in them.
Ling Xiao wanted to leave without saying goodbye, but it seemed impossible now.
"Senior Sister Jiao, why are you here?" Ling Xiao asked casually.
Ever since he came out of seclusion, Yan Die Jiao often came to find him. How could Ling Xiao not feel the affection she showed?
However, the most difficult thing was to accept a beauty's kindness!
Now, he had no choice but to reject this beauty's kindness.
"What? I'm your Senior Sister, can't I come to find you?
Is it because I'm annoying? "Yan Die Jiao glared at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and smiled, "Haha, how could that be? It's my honor that Senior Sister came to find me. I can't be happier!"
"Is that so?
Then from now on, I'll live near you and come find you every day! "Yan Die's beautiful eyes rippled with a different color as she spoke. Her face was suffused with a faint blush.
The affection in her words was very obvious. It was impossible for Ling Xiao not to hear it.
However, he could only play dumb and smile, "How can I do that? If the other elders knew about this, then even if I had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough!"
Yin Diejiao glanced at Ling Xiao with hidden bitterness and sighed softly, "You … you don't like me, do you?"
After a pause, she continued, "Don't deny it. Are you already preparing to leave?"
Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuck, so he didn't know how to answer.
The two of them stared at each other, and time seemed to freeze at this moment!
After a long time, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and resolutely said, "En, my home is in the Heavenly Dragon Domain. My wife and children are there. I love them, and they love me. I will protect them for the rest of their lives!"
Ling Xiao's words were undoubtedly telling Yan Die Jiao that he already had a family. Moreover, he would eventually return to the Heavenly Dragon Domain to live, so it was impossible for him to stay here for her.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to harden his heart and say this because he really didn't want to drag it out any longer.
That would be very unfair to Yan Die Jiao!
Yan Die Jiao's body trembled, and a suffocating feeling almost caused her to faint!
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
She said with a look of anticipation, "I knew that an outstanding man like you wouldn't have any women liking you. So you already have a wife and children, but … I don't mind. You can bring them to Palace City, I believe we will get along very well. Moreover, their cultivation here won't be any worse than in the Dragon Gate."
She couldn't leave the Medicine Alliance Guild. She was destined to be the successor of her three masters, so she could only suggest that Ling Xiao bring his wife and children here to live.
This was already showing the most tolerant side of a proud daughter of heaven.
It could be said that she had already let go of all the reservations of a woman just to be with Ling Xiao!
It had to be said that Yan Die Jiao was also a woman who dared to love.
Ling Xiao didn't expect Yan Die Jiao to say something like this, and he was truly shocked.
Could he refuse?
If he refused, then his relationship with Yan Die Jiao would immediately collapse.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior apprentice sister Jiao, you might not know what kind of person I am. Let me sit down and slowly tell you, then you can make your decision!"
With that, Ling Xiao sat on the stone chair opposite Yan Die Jiao and took out a jug of wine. He opened the jug and immediately took a big gulp.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to clear his throat and speak, Yan Die Jiao said first, "I want to drink too!"
Ling Xiao wanted to say a few words, but seeing her determined expression, he still took out a jug of wine and placed it in front of Yan Die Jiao as he softly said, "This wine is very strong, senior apprentice sister Jiao should drink less!"
Yan Die Jiao acted as if she didn't hear Ling Xiao's words. Just like Ling Xiao, she opened the jug and took a big gulp.
"Cough cough …" As soon as the wine entered her mouth, Yan Die Jiao choked and coughed.
This wine was brewed by Ling Xiao using all kinds of divine herbs. Aside from having a very powerful effect, it was also very strong. If a Holy Emperor were to drink two mouthfuls, he would probably be drunk!
Yan Die Jiao was a Divine Monarch, but she rarely drank wine. She rarely drank wine like Ling Xiao's, so it was not strange for her to choke!
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I come from the distant Profound Spirit Continent. To the people of the Heaven Domain, I am a lowly person. When I was in the Profound Spirit Continent, I had my first love, Yun Meng Qi …"
Ling Xiao told Yan Die Jiao about some of his experiences from the beginning until now. At the same time, he also told Yan Die Jiao about the ten women he had. He had gone through trials and tribulations with them, so their feelings would not fade because of time.
He loved them, and they could not lose him. And he, Ling Xiao, was a man of indomitable spirit. He built the Proud Smiling Palace and showed the valiant side of an ambitious and ruthless person.
Therefore, he could not give up his lover and his unyielding character for her, and he, Yan Die Jiao, could not give up on his lover and his unyielding character to come to the Medicine Alliance!
At the same time, his words also hinted that he was a very fickle person. He already had a lot of women, and he was not a loyal man!
If she really wanted to be with him, then she would have to marry a chicken and follow a dog. She had to go back to the Dragon Gate with him, or else they might as well stop here!
"Senior apprentice sister Jiao, actually, with your qualifications, there are countless men chasing after you. There are many heroes in the world, and there are also many talented alchemists. You will definitely be able to find a better home!" Ling Xiao said as he drank another mouthful of wine.
He mocked himself in his heart, "Fuck, to give up on such a living beauty, this King is too great!"
To be honest, if Yan Die Jiao really wanted to go with him, Ling Xiao had decided to take her in, but he also knew that this was impossible!
After Yan Die Jiao heard Ling Xiao's words, she was so shocked that she could not speak for a long time!
It wasn't because she felt that Ling Xiao had too many women, but because she was shocked by what Ling Xiao had experienced!
She had always thought that Ling Xiao was born in the Sky Dragon Domain and was a direct descendant of Kim people. With Kim people and Dragon Gate's full support, Ling Xiao was able to become such a monstrous existence.
However, she never imagined that Ling Xiao actually came from the ancient continent that had already declined, Xuan Ling Continent. Furthermore, he relied on himself to walk step by step until now. Just how many life and death situations had he gone through in this period of time? He was able to overcome all of them to reach his current level of strength.
Furthermore, what moved her the most was that Ling Xiao had actually come to Heaven Domain from thousands of miles away for the first woman he loved. This kind of love was something she could not express with words!
If there was such a man in this world who would do this for her, she would rather give up the identity of the guild's successor and be in love with that man for eternity!
In this world where martial strength was revered, in this world where people pursued the pinnacle and eternal life, there were many people who did not believe in the existence of love!
How many vows of eternal love had been made, how many vows of eternal love had been made!
In the erosion of time, how many people would be able to maintain their loyalty and affection?
In order to pursue power, in order to obtain all kinds of spiritual items, they could abandon all of their loved ones in this world and even become enemies!
What was love in this world?
In this world, how many people could answer this question?
In their eyes, there was only strength and eternal life. Only then would they have the qualifications to love!
Otherwise, once the distance between people was widened, any kind of friendship would be fleeting like clouds and smoke!
Yan Die Jiao thought about how Ling Xiao had suffered in the past and how although Ling Xiao had a dissolute nature, he was even more sentimental and righteous, willing to give up everything for his lover. She couldn't help but cry.
Her trembling hand reached out towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao did not dodge. He knew that there were some things that needed to be solved from the root.
That tender hand gently caressed that resolute and handsome face, and a kind of endless affection instantly warmed up!
"So you have suffered so much!" Yan Die Jiao softly said.
It was said that women were made of water. Although Yan Die Jiao was called a goddess, she was still a woman and could be easily moved.
Ling Xiao gently held Yan Die Jiao's hand and very seriously said, "Senior Sister Jiao, you are a very understanding and beautiful woman. Any man would be moved by you, and I am no exception. However, you also understand my difficulties, so … I feel like we should maintain our current relationship as good friends. In any case, I am also an elder of the guild. In the future, when I have time, I will come and see you. I am still waiting for the day when you become the Alchemy God!"
Yan Die Jiao's heart beat very quickly when she was held by Ling Xiao like this. A sweet feeling involuntarily arose in her heart.
However, when she heard the latter part of Ling Xiao's words, she felt a wave of discomfort!
She instantly broke free from Ling Xiao's hand and stood up. She glared at Ling Xiao and said, "You are a liar, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
Yan Die Jiao turned around and ran away, leaving behind only a few crystal droplets floating in the air!
Ling Xiao caught the teardrop in his hand and watched it dissolve in his palm. Even his heart of stone was softened!
