Chapter 89: I Will Find You!

“If Qinger is no longer around, Husband must take good care of himself.”

Jiang Qingshang gently caressed Lin Xun’s cheek, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

“Qinger, what do you mean by that!”

Lin Xun spoke seriously, his hands already tightening around his wife’s slender waist, as if he never intended to let her go, wanting to hold her in his arms forever.

“Hehehe~~~”

In Lin Xun’s arms, the young woman chuckled, leaning up to give him a light peck on the lips.

“This is the first time Qinger has seen Husband so serious.”

Stroking Lin Xun’s face, her small hand gently smoothed out her husband’s furrowed brow.

“Qinger is just going out again. At most three months, and I will be back.”

“Phew, you scared me to death.”

Lin Xun pulled his wife closer into his embrace.

Since he was a “Mortal” while Qinger was a member of the royal family, it was quite possible their marriage wouldn’t even be known by her family.

So Lin Xun had already imagined a scenario where a bunch of people would come to his door, throw down a chest of gold, and tell him to leave Qinger, or where her family would threaten her life if she didn’t leave him.

If that were really the case, Lin Xun wouldn’t do anything too extreme to Qinger’s family, but scaring them a bit and making them suffer a little would be necessary.

However, Lin Xun hoped such things wouldn’t happen; after all, he also wanted to have a good relationship with his future parents-in-law.

“What was Husband thinking just now?”

Jiang Qingshang leaned her face against Lin Xun’s shoulder, her slender arms also wrapped around him.

“I was thinking, if you weren’t by my side, whether this world would still have any value in existing.”

“Then what if I really did leave Husband?”

“I will find you!”

“And what if Husband can’t find me?”

“Impossible. Even if I have to turn this world upside down, I will find you!”

“There’s no need for such trouble. Wouldn’t it be fine if Husband just married someone else?”

“Qinger!”

“Hmm?”

Lin Xun looked at Jiang Qingshang seriously; that overbearing gaze made even Jiang Qingshang feel a bit nervous.

“You are not allowed to say that again!”

“Mhm~” Jiang Qingshang smiled with curved eyes. “If Husband won’t let me say it, then Qinger won’t.”

Lin Xun held the soft Jiang Qingshang as she sat on his lap, leaning against his shoulder. The two watched the leaves swaying and falling in the courtyard, as if time had stopped at this most beautiful moment.

After a long while, Jiang Qingshang spoke softly, “Husband.”

“Hmm?”

“Husband has saved up quite a bit of private money, haven’t you?”

“…” Lin Xun’s body jolted. Oh no! Was he found out?! How did she find out? It shouldn’t be possible…

Sensing her husband’s tension, Jiang Qingshang just smiled. “Husband doesn’t need to be nervous. While Qinger is away these few days, you can go to the Spring Breeze Tower to listen to some songs.”

“I’m not going!”

Lin Xun refused decisively! In truth, Lin Xun really had been planning to go to the Spring Breeze Tower to listen to some music while Qinger was away. Of course, just to listen! Absolutely just to listen!

But now that Qinger had said it, how could Lin Xun dare to go!

Seriously, does Qinger have mind-reading abilities? How does she know what I’m thinking?

“Then I shall give Husband some more silver to take a concubine. That way, she can look after Husband after Qinger leaves.”

“No! I, Lin Pei, am a warrior of pure love! I am single-minded in my devotion to Qinger!” When Lin Xun said this, he glanced at that stone in the courtyard.

He decided that at some point, he would get rid of that stone; it was quite creepy.

“Mhm, Qinger believes Husband…”

Jiang Qingshang nuzzled Lin Xun’s neck and slowly closed her eyes, as if taking a nap.

“Qinger.” After a long while, Lin Xun spoke, as if realizing something.

“Hmm?” Jiang Qingshang’s warm breath brushed against Lin Xun’s neck, sounding a bit lazy.

“Qinger, you didn’t say all this on purpose before leaving just to test me, did you?”

“I’ve been found out.”

“Then Qinger, if—I’m just saying if—if my answers hadn’t satisfied you…”

Jiang Qingshang said lazily with her eyes closed:

“When I said ‘If Qinger is no longer around, Husband must take good care of himself,’ if Husband’s reaction hadn’t been intense enough, it would have meant that Qinger wasn’t important enough in Husband’s heart.”

“In that case, when I returned, I would have made Husband hold me constantly until the moment you left my embrace, you would feel as if you had lost something.”

“If Husband had denied having private money hidden under Yaya’s bed, it would mean Husband definitely wanted to do something bad. But Husband has no hobbies other than going to listen to music once.”

“Therefore, there would be no need for that Spring Breeze Tower in Luo City to continue operating.”

“And when Qinger agreed that Husband could take a concubine, if Husband’s answer had been even a moment too slow, then…”

Jiang Qingshang rose from Lin Xun’s embrace, cupped his cheeks with her hands, and smiled with curved eyes. “Husband, I really, really love you. The extent of my love is something Husband absolutely cannot imagine. So…”

“So?” Lin Xun swallowed hard.

“So even I don’t know what I would do to Husband.”

“But, I can guarantee,” Jiang Qingshang held Lin Xun’s head, burying it against her chest. “I can guarantee that no matter where Husband is, I will accompany you there. Whether in the Mortal world or Hell, through however many Reincarnations…”

At the top of a main peak surrounded by mountains in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, there was a courtyard belonging to Demon Son Lin Xun. Whenever Lin Xun returned, he would rest in this courtyard.

And whenever Lin Xun left, the young girl with cherry-pink hair would move into this courtyard to be enveloped by his scent.

When Lin Xun returned again, the girl would give him her own bedding, letting him be enveloped by her scent.

Every time Lin Xun returned and smelled the faint fragrance of the bedding and pillows, he thought it was the incense Su Ying was accustomed to using, not knowing it was the scent Su Ying had personally left behind.

However, during the years Lin Xun was away, even with Spells applied, the scent in Lin Xun’s room grew fainter and fainter, and the girl even began to suffer from insomnia.

“Your Highness, there is an important matter.”

Just as the girl was holding Lin Xun’s pillow and finally managed to fall asleep, the voice of a Death Warrior came from outside the courtyard.

“Wait.” Although Su Ying was very impatient and her brow was furrowed, she knew that if it weren’t something important, no one would dare disturb her during her afternoon nap.

Su Ying walked out. The Death Warrior was outside the courtyard, five meters away from the fence.

This was Su Ying’s rule: regardless of gender, no one was allowed within five meters of this courtyard!

This place! It belonged to her!

“What is it?” Su Ying looked at her with a smile.

The Death Warrior knelt on one knee and handed over an envelope. “Your Highness, there is news from the Zilin Holy Land. Jiang Yuerou is trapped, and Jiang Qingshang is personally heading to the Desolate Territory to rescue her!”
