Chapter 67.2: Return Journey
In the end, Qing Ye Li was still not able to persuade Qing Yu to go with him.
He could disregard anyone else's opinion, and insist on having his way, but he could not possibly not care about what Qing Yu thought.
Even though Qing Yu did not agree to leave with him, Qing Ye Li had not remained in the Green Wave Kingdom much longer. After they asked for leave from the Green Wave Emperor, they had then embarked on their journey back to their own kingdom.
The day the Water Edge Kingdom were leaving, it was as grand as when they had come, with everyone coming out to watch.
The Crown Prince Xuanyuan Che represented the Green Wave Emperor to see them off and many of the citizens lined the streets to watch, like they were glad to see this G.o.d of slaughter finally go.
The large convoy trundled along on their way and then suddenly stopped abruptly when a soldier shouted out loudly. "Who are you!"
The Chief of Guards seated upon his horse recognized the person and he was taken aback a moment. He then turned himself around and said in a soft voice towards the person inside the horse carriage. "Your Highness, it's Miss Qing."
A hand suddenly lifted the curtain in the carriage and the eyes under the mask were dazzling bright as he looked at the white clothed figure in front, a young lady with exquisite looking features. Her hair was lifted up behind her by the wind, and when she turned her head sideways to look his way, strands on her hair then gently caressed her cheek, a highly alluring and seductive sight.
The several soldiers at the lead of the column were caught off guard as they stood there bedazzled.
Out here in the wilderness and such a peerless beauty had suddenly appeared before them, could it be a demoness who had sucked out the life essence of humans?
Qing Ye Li came walking down and looked straight at her. "Have you changed your mind?" [You're willing….. to leave together with me?]
Qing Yu winked and then playfully lifted her hands up in a shrug. "I have clearly not."
The bright sparkling eyes then suddenly dimmed. From what she saw, that expression was just like a little wolfhound who had just spotted a juicy bone and then saw the bone suddenly disappear right before its eyes.
Qing Yu then laughed rather helplessly and then walked in closer right under the stunned gazes of the soldiers, coming to stand right before Qing Ye Li. "I came to see you off, and also to give this to you."
Upon saying that, a porcelain white hand turned to show her palm, where two bottles suddenly appeared, one green and one white.
Qing Ye Li took them. "What are these?"
"Didn't you tell me that the Water Edge Emperor is frail and weak, his body ill of health? I think his sickly body is mostly due to illness inherited right from the time he was still in his mother's womb. In the green bottle, are Blood Nourishing Elixirs that I cultivated. Use the Mind Gathering Fluid in the white bottle with his bath by just dripping two drops into the water. Remember to not put in more than that or his frail body might not be able to withstand it." Qing Yu relayed her instructions carefully.
Qing Ye Li clutched the two tiny little bottles tightly in his hand and the look in his eyes changed, seeming like he wanted to say something, but he did not say anything in the end.
"This will help nurse his body's basic const.i.tution first and if I happen to come to the Water Edge Kingdom in future, I can help purge out the poison for him, for him to make a complete recovery, as repayment for having saved you back then." Qing Yu raised her eyes up to look at him, her words sounding one after another. "I do not wish for you to be tied down in anyway, as you should be free."
Qing Ye Li in the past, knew nothing of even the most basic things about human interaction. Now that he had become the Duke of a Kingdom, controlling the entire Water Edge Kingdom's army, it was not known how much he had had to give within all that.
That part of him was very similar to herself. Never wanting to owe anyone any favours, always seeking to repay the other party hundreds or even thousands of folds.
Hearing everything that Qing Yu had said, Qing Ye Li's body stiffened, and then his slightly cold voice that was tinged with a sliver of yearning then said: "If I can, I only want everything to be just like before, to always be by your side. Even if I am just one among several hundred hidden guards around you, just to be able to always see you will make it the thing that I will want to do most."
