New Life

Chapter 17

"Brother Liao, you don't need to say more." Murong Qing said feeling uncomfortable. "This has to be said. Because he wanted to avoid me looking for him. He disguised himself as a woman and lived in the Light Kingdom. One day, Brother Liao was being framed by his bastard brother and A Qing saved him. Then Brother Liao said he would marry A Qing to be his wife." Ouyang Lanying explained.

"So?" Murong Min asked curiously. "Then Brother Murong refused. He said he had someone. But I also only found out he was a man after Brother Ouyang found him." Liao Rong explained.

"Do you still remember when we asked who he liked?" Ouyang Lanying asked. "I remember, he said love you but can't have you. Miss you but can't meet. Feel close but also far away. Like the moon in the sky. Looks close but hard to reach." Liao Rong said smiling.

Murong Qing sighed. "I'll go rest first." Murong Qing said leaving. Luo Mingze stared at Murong Qing's back silently. "You can go." Murong Min whispered to Luo Mingze.

Murong Qing looked up at the sky while sitting quietly on the grassland outside the city gate, unfortunately it was already covered with snow. When Murong Qing used to live outside, he often sat here alone. A place far from the hustle and bustle of the village and also the most comfortable place because it is quiet.

"You're here again." Luo Mingze said sitting beside Murong Qing. Murong Qing closed his eyes not intending to answer. "Sorry, I should have looked for you sooner and explained everything to you." Luo Mingze said.

"I'm happy, you live happily with my sister-in-law. It's just that I can't save her anymore." Murong Qing said regretfully. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I shouldn't be sitting in the position I'm in now. So no one gets hurt." Luo Mingze said.

Murong Qing looked at Luo Mingze who was looking at him. Murong Qing leaned over and kissed Luo Mingze's lips lightly. "It's not your fault. I also know that you took revenge for everyone who hurt my sister-in-law and your child." Murong Qing said smiling.

Luo Mingze fell silent. The two then laughed together. "I used to always laugh at you making wooden benches in the meadow. Now I know, you made them for winter." Luo Mingze said smiling.

Murong Qing didn't speak, just smiled. "It's quite cold. We're going back." Luo Mingze said standing up. Murong Qing smiled and followed Luo Mingze home. When the two went home, Murong Min was drunk and so was Liao Rong. Only Ouyang Lanying was still conscious.

Luo Mingze escorted the two drunkards back to the tent. "How are you?" Ouyang Lanying asked. "As usual." Murong Qing said smiling.

"When you relapse, are you still cold like before?" Ouyang Lanying asked. Murong Qing nodded. "Why don't you tell them the truth?" Ouyang Lanying asked.

"Telling them, my disease is incurable and will eat away at me for the rest of my life. I don't want to torture them." Murong Qing said. "If Liao Rong and I didn't know then you wouldn't have told us either." Ouyang Lanying said irritably.

Qingyuan just smiled. "Instead of living in regret. It's better to live a useful life while you can." Murong Qing said smiling. Without both of them realizing it, Luo Mingze heard everything.

[Master, you don't have much time left.]

'I know.' Murong Qing thought.

[In order to keep Luo Mingze alive, you sacrificed yourself. Are you regret now?]

'Never. He wasn't supposed to die in the novel but it was because of me that he died. I only returned what was due.' Murong Qing thought.

[But in the novel he is married to Murong Xinyue. The person who killed you. Aren't you angry?]

Murong Qing could feel that the system was very upset. Murong Qing smiled. 'Do you know? This time, she will not marry him. So you don't need to be angry or annoyed.' Murong Qing thought calmly.

[Up to you.]

That's how the system goes. Murong Qing saw someone enter the tent and found the person to be Luo Mingze. Without speaking, Luo Mingze kissed Murong Qing's lips fiercely.

Murong Qing replied to him. The kiss turns into a hot scene. "Mingze, what's wrong with you?" Murong Qing asked out of breath. Murong Qing was overwhelmed by Luo Mingze's movements.

Luo Mingze did not answer but instead kissed Murong Qing's lips again. Luo Mingze's movements became faster and faster, making Murong Qing completely overwhelmed.

The erotic moans that came out made Luo Mingze even more excited. “Mingze, are you jealous?” Murong Qing asked touching Luo Mingze's cheek. "I'm angry because you won't tell me your condition. I've asked Ouyang Lanying. He told me everything." Luo Mingze's words made Murong Qing speechless.

"I'm really fine." Murong Qing said refusing to admit his illness. Luo Mingze looked at Murong Qing in annoyance and quickened his movements making Murong Qing's moans even more uncontrollable.

"Do you want to kill me? Slow down a bit. If someone hears and sees you will lose your pride." Murong Qing grumbled in annoyance. Luo Mingze actually accelerated his movements even more, making moan after moan come out non-stop.

"Okay, I'll tell you. The doctor has already examined me. My disease cannot be cured. I'm just waiting until that time comes. When it relapses, my body will shiver and my body will be like ice." Murong Qing said in surrender. Luo Mingze smiled.

When he woke up the next day, Murong Qing was already neatly dressed. Murong Qing accompanied his brothers, Murong Min and Luo Mingze. The two of them will return to the capital.

Liao Rong also accompanied Ouyang Lanying to the border. Liao Rong took the traitors home for trial.

"Aren't you going with them?" Murong Qing asked when Ouyang Lanying returned. Ouyang Lanying shook her head. “His Majesty ordered me to guard the borders. I think he will summon you back to the capital in the near future.” Ouyang Lanying explained.

Murong Qing just smiled. Over the past few months, Zhang Ling's relationship with Murong Qing has been very close. Zhang Ling even scolded Murong Qing for being too timid.

Xie Minghao often brought food to the barracks to enjoy together. News from the Light Kingdom finally came. Liao Zhen was sentenced to death by drinking poisoned wine because of his actions. Liu Dong was sentenced to death by beheading.

Along with that news, an order came from the Capital telling Murong Qing to immediately return to the capital. Even though Zhang Ling didn't want to be left behind by his grandson. But Zhang Ling could not go against the Emperor's orders. Before Murong Qing left, Murong Qing reminded Ouyang Lanying many things.

"You're like a wife who leaves the house to go out. I've memorized all that. You've been telling me for three days in a row." Ouyang Lanying said with a sigh. Murong Qing laughed awkwardly.

The journey back to the capital was boring for Murong Qing. Initially Ouyang Lanying wanted to send Fan Yixian along but Murong Qing refused.

Fan Yuxuan grew a lot under Ouyang Lanying's command and it was clear that he would be more advanced with Ouyang Lanying than with him. Murong Qing fell asleep during the journey except for eating and he would wake up.

When he woke up again. He found a room that was quite large. "Where is this?" Murong Qing asked. "My house." Luo Mingze said smiling.
