Journey to the Beautiful Ending

C42 - Complete

The sun was about to set. The day felt so long as there were a lot of things that happened. Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling was waiting for the two persons lying on the bed to gain their consciousness as Sizhui just dropped the liquid, Min Jin have given, in their mouth. Bringing them back to life was still something so unbelievable but if this is the truth then, Jiang Cheng was so happy to finally see her elder sister again.

Jiang Yanli slightly moved then it followed by Jin Zixuan as their eyelids slowly opening. The Yunmeng Jiang Sect Leader stood from his seat and gulped.

"A-Cheng?"

Jiang Cheng went numbed hearing the soft voice he hadn't hear for so long. His eyes welled up as Jin Zixuan sat and assist his wife to get up from the bed.

"Shijie." Jiang Cheng didn't hold back and immediately ran to her sister's embrace, hugging her tightly, showing how much he miss her. Then, he remembered his nephew. He broke the hug and turned to Jin Ling who was looking lost. "A-Ling, what are you standing there?"

Jin Ling didn't move. He doesn't know what to react. His parents were back yet he doesn't know how a son should act. He never acted once before. He only know how to act as nephew. He's asking himself is they are just the same or there's more something about being a son.

"A-Ling."

Jin Ling raised his head as he met the eyes of the man who also have vermilliom mark in between his eyes. He felt the situation awkward. He has been dreaming it since child yet why does it hard to move now when they are here?

Then he felt a pat on his head. Jin Ling smiled tearily. When Jin Zixuan pulled him to a hug, his eyes just welled up. Jiang Yanli went to join them as it brought smile to Jiang Cheng's lips. Thinking that finally, his nephew can feel the love of his mother.

"I'm happy. So happy."

Outside the room was Wei Wuxian, hesitant whether to knock or not. But when he heard their voices and Jin Ling's crying, he thought of letting them go first. To let Jin Ling have the maternal love that was stolen from him at an early age and to feel the warmth of having a complete family.

Wei Wuxian went back to Jingshi. Waiting for him was Lan Wangji. He smiled at him but the latter looks at him worriedly.

"I'm fine."

"..."

Wei Wuxian heaved a sighed and moved towards Lan Wangji, burying his face to his chest, while the other held his waist and kissed his temple.

"Jin Ling was happy now." Wei Wuxian told him.

Lan Wangji, "You'll see her tomorrow."

Wei Wuxian, "Mm. I will."

Two hours before the Lan Sect's bedtime, Jin Ling decided to go at the back of the mountain where dozens of rabbits was located. He found Jingyi, feeding them with the baskets of carrots on his side.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Chunshi?" Jingyi asked him as he sat near him and helped with feeding the rabbits.

Jin Ling, "Why are you here too? It was dark already."

Jingyi took a deep breath. "A lot of things happened today. I still can't believed that Sizhui was back."

"Me too. He went back last night then disappeared at my sight in the morning. Went back in the afternoon and consumed the soul of one of my sect elders. If not for my plead, one of my disciple should be grieving right now." He let out a breathe. "Then, he threatened all of my sect elders that he won't be mercy the next time."

Jingyi, with eyes opened wide, gasped as he heard those things happened in Lanling. He never thought Sizhui would act that way.

Jin Ling continued, "My A-Yuan that I know have more tolerance, patient and still manage to be gentle. However, this afternoon, he attempted to kill and threaten my sect elders."

Jingyi fixed his composure and tried to understand his friend. "Well, that's- I don't know. Sizhui has been watching us up there especially you. Your sect elders' behavior towards you might have push him to his limit too."

Jin Ling, "That might be."

Jingyi, "If that deity who showed to us today says the mistake he did was punishing someone but took it back and not the threatening he did, that means those people deserved to be threatened or be killed rather."

Jin Ling nodded in agreement, believing that Sizhui was a reasonable man. "Yeah. I might be just overthinking."

Jingyi smiled at him wickedly. "So just go to Chunshi and be done with him."

Jin Ling frowned. "Are you thinking that we only fuck when we're alone?"

Jingyi huffed. "You always do it when you were left alone before. What do you think will I think?"

"We also talked about our future plans!" Jin Ling yelled at him.

Jingyi, "Yeah, right. Just go. You haven't done for years anyway. Aren't you excited?"

Jin Ling sighed deeply as he said in a low tone of voice. "Thinking about it, I suddenly feel awkward and shy."

Pfft! Jingyi held his laugh as he doesn't want to create noise especially at night. "Really?"

"Shut up!" Jin Ling glared at him. "I should really ask A-Yang to fuck you." He added.

"Impudence! I'm a straight man. I like big chest, okay?" Jingyi said as he pointed the carrots on his chest. "Besides, he was just messing up with me. I always see him flirting with women."

"Well, A-Yang likes that hole on your ass. Open your eyes, will you? A-Yang likes you for real." Jin Ling stood and patted the dirt on his pants. "I'm going now."

Jingyi shouted, "You should've gone earlier. Sizhui was waiting for your ass!"

Jin Ling naughtily smiled before he turned his back. "Yeah, we'll fuck the whole night. I'll tell you how we did it tomorrow."

"Shameless! Keep it to yourself!"
