Waiting For You (A Wangxian FF)

36) See for yourself - 02

"A-Li... Welcome home..." The all too familiar voice of Jin Zixuan reached Jiang Cheng's ears soon after.

When he snapped his eyes open, what greeted his vision was the same lavish bedroom he had seen before he had to relieve his sister's death once again. There on the bed sat an ethereally beautiful woman, extruding a similarly overwhelming spiritual aura as same as the smiling man in front of her.

She looked exactly the same as before, excluding her improved beauty and spiritual energy. Jiang Cheng no longer understood what's going on around him.

"I hope A-Xian won't be too hard on him after that, A-Xuan...and I don't want A-Cheng to lash out on A-Xian. He had gone through enough already..." She sighed worriedly, her facial features so gloomy with guilt and worry.

"He will be fine, A-Li. Besides, it's his mortal trial. He already passed his previous one. This one is also almost over by now. You don't have to worry this much."

"I can't help it. It's A-Xian we are talking about, the one who loves to endure everything with a happy go smile and suffer alone..."

"I know but still-"

"My lord, my lady... May I enter?" Before A-Xuan could complete his sentence, a female voice disturbed him from outside the room.

"Come in, Suihua..." With that, the same maid servant Jiang Cheng had seen prior entered the room with a bundle of light golden fabrics in her warm embrace.

"I brought the young lord home as you ordered, my lord." She smiled proudly as she handed over the bundle to her master.

"Was there any trouble?"

"None, my lord. They were all too busy planning a siege against our Tài Zǐ Diànxià." She announced, her previous smile nowhere to be found.

The lady shared a glance at her husband as if to say that what she said a moment ago was right before asking, "Will he be alright?"

Suihua's face darkened a little more, "I'm not too sure about that, my lady. But I pray that the prince will be okay... after all, he's currently carrying the next heir to the heavenly throne."

"A-Xuan!" The lady gasped and at the same time, a loud cry of a toddler pierced through the air.

"Shh... It's okay, A-Ling. Everything is going to be okay. Your Xian jiujiu will be okay too..." She quickly took the baby from her husband and cooed at him, allowing Jiang Cheng to sneak a glance at the baby for the first time.

"Jin Ling!" He gasped in surprise before the scene shifted into another once again.

.

It was right after the Lotus pier massacre and after Wei Wuxian retrieved back sect leader Jiang's and madam Yu's remainings along with an unconscious Jiang Cheng with the help of Wen Ning who later helped them to safely arrive at the Yiling supervisory office that belonged to his sister, Wen Qing.

Jiang Cheng saw how cautious Wei Wuxian was at first when they arrived there but Wen Ning quickly calmed him down by convincing him that it was safe for him and Jiang Cheng to stay until Jiang Cheng could recover. After much convincing, Wen Qing also agreed to let them stay and treat Jiang Cheng back to health for Wei Wuxian's relief.

However, when Jiang Cheng finally woke up from the slumber, Wei Wuxian figured out something was terribly wrong with his shidi with only a single glance at him. And after many questions and a few hits thrown at Wei Wuxian, which Jiang Cheng claimed to have done using full spiritual energy he started speaking, "Wei WuXian, do you know why the Core-Melting Hand is called the Core-Melting Hand? Because his pair of hands can melt away the golden core, so that you can't ever form a new core again, your spiritual power will disperse, and you'll become an average person..."
