Chapter 36: As Long As It’s Yours, I Like It:
Interesting!
If that was the case, then he would help her search for and gather the fragments!
In the original novel, Xia Yuran found crystal shards in many places. So, Ling Kong knew where to find them. One of the fragments was even in the imperial palace!
“There are many places where these crystal fragments can be found! I’ll accompany you in the search.” Ling Kong said.
“Really?” Jiang Ruoxi’s eyes lit up with joy. “Have you seen them in other places too?”
Ling Kong smiled, “Yes! But it’s not that simple to obtain them. It requires Xia Yuran’s luck. She encountered them!”
“Then... where are these places?” Jiang Ruoxi asked.
She had no family left.
If her mother were still alive, she would do everything possible to find her! She would never give up on this clue!
Ling Kong replied, “They are very dangerous places, and you won’t be able to obtain them if you go now! Later, when we go to those places, I will definitely help you get them!”
Actually, many of the soul crystal fragments were found by Xia Yuran. So, Xia Yuran’s luck was needed to find them in those places.
Although Jiang Ruoxi wanted to know right now, she nodded in agreement since Ling Kong had said so.
That was great!
As long as she could gather as many crystal shards as possible, she would get closer to finding her mother.
Who exactly was her mother?
Was she still alive?
These were the things she most wanted to know. She had two major goals in her life:
1. Rebuild the Demon Sect!
2. Discover the truth about her mother!
"Thank you for helping me so much!" Jiang Ruoxi said, turning her head to look at Ling Kong with her beautiful eyes.
He was helping her now, and he would help her in the future. She didn’t know how to express her gratitude.
“Hmm...” Ling Kong sighed and replied, “I said, if it’s what you want, I will do everything I can to get it for you!”
Jiang Ruoxi’s face flushed again.
Here it was, another emotional statement! It always made her a bit overwhelmed.
“Why... are you so good to me?” Jiang Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask.
Since the day he broke into her room, he seemed to have changed!
He wasn’t cold toward her anymore, and he no longer seemed to only have eyes for Xia Yuran.
Instead, it seemed like he only had eyes for her now?
“Because... I like you!” Ling Kong said softly.
“Like... like what?” Jiang Ruoxi’s eyes fixed on Ling Kong’s profile. This was a somewhat unnecessary but necessary question. She really wanted to hear the answer from him.
“As long as it’s yours, I like it!” Ling Kong turned his head and smiled gently.
Under the moonlight, their eyes met.
Jiang Ruoxi’s face turned slightly pink.
He likes everything that’s hers? This answer was even more surprising than she had imagined.
Did he really... have feelings for her now?
“Then, do you and Xia Yuran really... have no relationship anymore?” She couldn’t help but ask.
This was something she had always been concerned about!
Every time she saw Ling Kong with Xia Yuran, it made her uncomfortable.
But now, Ling Kong had come to her.
Was it really over between him and Xia Yuran?
“I’ve said it before, there was never a relationship between me and her!” Ling Kong said firmly. “You need to understand, I didn’t change my affections. I never had any feelings for Xia Yuran!”
In the past? What did that count for?
They never even held hands!
Liking Xia Yuran would be an insult to himself!
“Alright!” Jiang Ruoxi nodded gently. Since he said so, she would believe him! She would believe that he never liked her and wouldn’t like her in the future!
“I hope you don’t have any unnecessary thoughts. My heart has always been and will always be only for you! Understand?” Ling Kong added.
The past didn’t count.
Although the past self was still him, it wasn’t entirely him!
The present self was the real him! The present choices were his choices!
“Hmm! I understand, don’t worry!” Jiang Ruoxi tilted her head and smiled faintly.
Ling Kong was worried that she might care about his past feelings for Xia Yuran.
But since Ling Kong said he never liked her, then he never did!
She wouldn’t have any unnecessary thoughts!
Even if he had liked someone else in the past, she wouldn’t mind!
After all, he belonged to her now and in the future!
“If that’s the case... I feel the same way! As long as it’s yours, I like it too!” Jiang Ruoxi said softly, lowering her head and blushing.
Even though Ling Kong already knew this, hearing it in this situation still made her shy.
Ling Kong smiled gently.
Did she need to say it?
Under the clear moonlight, the two of them sat together, with the Ice Phantom Wolf cub lying beside them. It was another beautiful scene.
“By the way... I want to ask you something!” Jiang Ruoxi suddenly thought of something, her face showing a trace of inexplicable worry.
“Hmm!” Ling Kong nodded lightly. He probably already had an idea of what Jiang Ruoxi wanted to ask.
“If... if I had a very special identity, one that many people dislike, would you still accept me?” Jiang Ruoxi asked softly, her head lowered.
She was the heir to the Demon Sect, with demonic blood flowing in her veins! In the empire, the Sword Demon Sect was a target for everyone.
So, she was worried that one day, when Ling Kong learned her identity, he might despise her or even hate her.
