Journey to the Beautiful Ending

C61 - Young and Strong

Jin Ling was busy with the scrolls on his table when the door of the Fragrance Hall was abruptly open. He was startled for a bit but when Jiang Cheng went in, he sighed in relief. In the past months since the resurrection of his parents, Jiang Cheng never failed to at least spend a week in Koi Tower. Its not that he was complaining but Jin Ling once warned his uncle that whenever he is in Lanling, Jiang Cheng must not and will never visit him in his chamber without prior notice. However, it seems like one ear just listened to it and it went out to the other ear. "Uncle, you should knock first before opening the door." He called out.

Jiang Cheng twitched his brows. "This is your room. Why do I need to do that?" He scoffed. "Jin Ling, let me tell you. Even if you are married, you're still a kid in my eyes."

Jin Ling wanted to roll his eyes but looking at the lines on his uncle's forehead, he calmly said, "Uncle, me being married was the reason why you should knock first."

Jiang Cheng, "And why?!"

Jin Ling sighed, asking himself if he really have to spell it out for him. He put the scroll down and explained, "Uncle, I'm aware that there are married couple who sleep separately and their consummation was usually scheduled but those are political marriage. Lan Yuan and I got married out of love. Since he have teleportation ability, he can appear beside me and do me anytime. Unless, you want us to watch doing something indecent in your eyes. That's fine with me."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth in annoyance. "You brat! That's why I never go to your chamber at night. How shameless of you to say that you even do it at broad daylight?!"

Jin Ling, "Uncle, we are still young and strong. If we find time to do it, we will do it. What if you happen to enter and saw us doing it?"

Jiang Cheng, "Shut up! I don't want to listen to any of your shameless activities. Can't you be a little decent?!"

Jin Ling had gotten used of his uncle's new repetitive words. He seldomly threaten him to break his legs now but he keeps on telling him how shameless he was to which he choose to ignore it anyway. "Calm down, Uncle. You'll suffer from qi deviation if you always allow your anger gets the best of you. Now, now, what can I help you with?"

Jiang Cheng roamed the room. Seeing painting materials on the shelf and new calligraphies on the wall, anyone can tell that the Fragrance Hall was not only the sect leader's chamber. It obviously showed that someone artistic also stays there. Jin Ling followed his uncle's gaze. He may not be able to read one's mind but he was certain that Jiang Cheng was inspecting his room.

Jiang Cheng turned to him at once. "Now that your parents is temporary at Gusu to help Wei Wuxian for his newborn kid, you must not slouch as a sect leader just because your husband is a Shen Dizi."

Jin Ling snorted. "I never slouch. I always worked hard. Besides, Lan Yuan just scared them once. He won't do it again unless they provoke him."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. "You know very well that the only way to provoke him if his beloved wife was being bullied once again."

Jin Ling cringed at being called a wife. He was not used to be called that way, only because Sizhui still introduce him as a husband infront of the others. "I don't think they'll try to bully me once more. If they do, I can still deal with them without my husband's protection."

Jiang Cheng, "Whatever. I'm going back to Yunmeng now. Even if you are married, you still need to know what filial piety means."

"Yeah, Uncle." Jin Ling lazily answered." We'll go to Lotus Pier once father is back."

Jiang Cheng glared at his nephew once more before he turned his back, leaving Jin Ling shaking his head.

"You angered him again." Sizhui appeared beside him with a basket of food on hand which he laid it on the table.

Jin Ling immediately cuddled at him. "It was not my fault that he suddenly barge in inside our room."

"Then..." Jin Ling raised his head. Looking at Sizhui's naughty smile, he gulped. "...can I check how young and strong the body you have there?"

Jin Ling was astounded. 'Just how long he was here?' Heh! "You're really good at hiding your presence."

Sizhui smiled mischievously. "I wanted to hear how shameless my husband is."

Jin Ling stood from his chair and wrapped his arms around his husband's neck, seductively biting his lower lip. "Hear only?"

Sizhui pulled Jin Ling through his waist. With a sultry voice, he replied, "Well, I'd love to feel it."

The two shared a sweet long passionate kiss. If not for the food getting cold, they would want to escalate it to something more exciting activity.

"I wonder what Jingyi and Zizhen are doing now." Jin Ling asked out of curiousity. Those two have been away for a month. Good thing that Wen Yang was working in another infirmary so he is not aware that Wen Qing and Wen Ning will be in Gusu for the next few days.

At the mention of the two new Shen Dizi, Sizhui remembered the message he received from Rin An this morning. "They'll be back in two months."

Jin Ling, "Huh? I thought it will take them years to train as Shen Dizi."

Sizhui, "They cannot refine the Shen Dizi's spiritual power by wandering. Shen Rin An was only helping them to gain temporary control but she was also quite busy with monitoring the world. I was asked to help them."

Jin Ling nodded in understanding. "Okay. So you'll be busy by then."

"You'll join them."

"You're already helping me with controlling the overwhelming spiritual power I acquired as your fated one. Should I need to interrupt your training and cultivate with them?"

Sizhui, "Yes. Your spiritual power level were almost the same. Even though they are Shen Rin An's disciple, since they are still a human, they are no different from you."

Jin Ling pursed his lips. "If you say that, you're making me feel that you are not a human."

Sizhui smiled reassuringly. "I'm a living human again. Its just that I have a sacred spirit and that's what makes me different."

"Okay. I'll refine my cultivation with them." Jin Ling shove another piece of meat on his mouth. "Let's finish eating so I can show you how young and strong I am."

Sizhui laughed softly. "Then, you must eat well. I wanted to test how far I can go too."

Jin Ling almost choke. He glanced outside the window, it was still 12 noon. The sky was still bright. Guess he have to order not to be disturbed until he say so.
