Chapter 90 - Playing together

A clan dispute that had exploded after being pent up for a long time finally reached a conclusion that no one could have expected.

Later, everything turned to normal and everyone present tried to forget the nightmarish attack caused from Jean to Heimu Qingya.

Tomorrow Su Hengshan would punish Su Hengyue and the others, but Jean didn't know and didn't cared to know what the punishment would be.

Meanwhile, Jean was walking with Su Ling'er inside the clan.

Su Ling'er: Big brother Yun Che, you and Papa said that I'm already a… fiancee, what's a fiancee?

Jean: '*Sigh* This will be hard…' It means that when Su Ling'er will grow up, you will be my wife.

Su Ling'er: Wi… fe… What does that mean?

Jean: Well… You know your mother, she is the wife of your father because they are happy being together, and will accompany each other the entire time, they also take care of each other and other things…

Su Ling'er: Take care of each other… You mean like when mama and papa were playing in the bed?

Jean: …

He froze for a moment before he tugged up his sleeves and stormed off while yelling.

Jean: Hey, old man!

*Please wait for a moment, we are solving some problems…*

Su Ling'er stopped Jean before he actually reached Su Hengshan's room, so no one got hurt, fortunately.

Su Ling'er tilted her head, as if not understanding, meanwhile Jean changed argument.

Jean: So, you want to be my wife when you grow up, Ling'er?

Su Ling'er: Mnn! I like being with big brother Yun Che!

Jean: Alright, for now go to sleep, it is too late to play, we will play tomorrow, okay?

The little girl nodded and went excitedly to her bedroom, meanwhile Jean turned back to the Dragon Perching Pavillion to sleep and stabilize his cultivation.

[Tomorrow morning]

Jean and Su Ling'er were outside due to the former's promise to play with the latter.

Jean: Ling'er, where do you want to go and play?

Su Ling'er: Hehe... when I'm together with big brother Yun Che, my mood will turn especially good. It'll be fine to go anywhere and play… Oh… let me think! That's right, let's go to the bamboo forest in the back, and play, okay?

Jean: Bamboo… Forest…

Those words touched his heart really deeply, it was the place where he lived before with Su Ling'er in his past life, bad memories flowed out from the depths of his mind, but once he saw Su Ling'er's smile, they were replaced with the 25 years old Su Ling'er taking care of him, bringing a smile on his face.

Su Ling'er: Mnn! At the foot of the mountain, there's a big big bamboo forest. I like the wind in there the most. Only, Papa said that many dangerous profound beasts might appear there, and he never lets me go there by myself. Papa is always so busy too, so he rarely brings me there to play.

Jean: ...Okay. Then let's go to the bamboo forest to play.

At the south of the Grandwake Clan, there was a huge area covered with a bamboo forest that extended all the way to the foot of the mountain in the distance; dense emerald green color flooded that entire area. Along with the rustling of bamboo leaves, dense bamboo branches and the waves of unceasingly refreshing wind that brushed by, made people incredibly relaxed and carefree.

Su Ling'er: Big brother Yun Che, it's really beautiful here right? This is my most favorite place ever. Every time I come here, it feels like I've become a fairy, and I'll forget all the unhappy things. I like everything here… I often think, if I grew up in the future, I'll certainly place my family within a bamboo forest… Oh! Just thinking about it makes me so happy.

...Huh, no wonder she was in a bamboo forest in the second lifeline…

Jean: Then let's buy a house here.

Su Ling'er: Huh? Build a home… here?

Su Ling'er: A bamboo… House…?

After Su Ling'er was startled for a while, her starry eyes immediately became incredibly bright.

Su Ling'er: Can we… really? But if the bamboo here gets hurt, isn't that a bit too unfortunate…

Jean: Haha, there are so many bamboos here, and only some of them can be used, I think that thr bamboos will get really happy if they become part of the house of a cute ball of joy like you!

Su Ling'er: Mn!!

Then, using a blade made of Profound Energy, Jean started to cut the bamboos and stack them, soon, he not only got enough material, but he also made an empty large space for a house.

Using what he remembered about the theory lessons he learned at school, he started to build a house while Su Ling'er cheered for him by his side.

At 10, he already made a proper little house with 2 rooms, the living room and the bedroom, he couldn't do a bathroom because there won't be much time to play together later and he would have liked to leave the upgrades of the house to Su Ling'er, since it was hers.

So, they remained to play for the remaining 4 hours, since after that, he would take his leave… So Jean made his  best to make sure that during this 4 hours both him and her will have as much fun as possible. He also took a photo of the two of them and made some videos of them playing together.

Su Ling'er: Big brother Yun Che, I really want to… be together with you forever… Oh… If I say it like that, would it make big brother Yun Che feel weird… Obviously, we've only just met today, but I liked big brother Yun Che from the first moment I saw you… Am I a really strange girl?

Jean: Haha, no, you aren't… Because it's the same when I saw Ling'er. During an entire lifetime, it's very difficult for a person to inexplicably like someone during the first time they see each other. If two people felt the same way about each other, then, perhaps they are destined by the heavens to be together, or perhaps... have lingering affection from a previous life.

Su Ling'er: Big brother Yun Che, can I really become your wife, and be with you together forever?

Jean: Of course! Your papa, had already betrothed you to me in front of so many people. When the day I return comes, and Ling'er is grown up, we can then marry, and then, be together forever…

Su Ling'er first laughed lightly, and then, reacted over something, as she instantly grabbed onto Jean's arm.

Su Ling'er: When you… return? Big brother Yun Che, you're… you're going to leave?

Jean: ...Yeah… Sorry Ling'er, but I have many places where I need to go… Many adventures to experience… I also have other friends to visit. But I promise that when I turn back, I will tell you everything… When you grow up, I will definitely return… I… I-I will…

Su Ling'er: ...Big Brother Yun Che, why are you crying?

Jean hastily cleaned off his eyes, this was just the illusory world, they will never meet again… But he definitely liked staying here again with Su Ling'er…

Jean: Don't worry… I will turn back…

The atmosphere became really quiet, and with all of those games they did together, Su Ling'er was unable to stay on her feet and started to sleep…

…

She woke up inside her bedroom, and felt something over her, it was her blanket. And at the end of her bed there was something. She got up and rubbed her tired eyes. When she saw what was on her bed, she picked it up, it was a small white military uniform for her, a spatial ring and a letter.

"Dear Su Ling'er.

If you are reading this letter. It means that I'm already gone… Sorry, but I can't say bye personally, this is something I can't control. But I left some gifts for you, this is a Sternritter Uniform. An Emperor Profound Item, it will protect you, and surprisingly it can fit anyone's body, so you can wear it everytime, for every year.

Don't worry about me, I will return to you and marry you, remember that we also made photos together, so I will never forget you and always look at you when I want. Just… Wait for me, okay?

PS: In the ring, there are the best medicinal pills I could make at the moment, and also some food for half a month if you need it. You can also find a strange weapon, that is called a "Sniper", there is also a manual about how to use it, be careful though, there are only 10 shots, and it can hurt anyone, even Sovereign Profound Cultivators, so don't show it to anyone randomly

-Yun Che [Jean]."

Su Ling'er: Big… Big Brother… *Sniff* Uuuuuuuuuu...

Tears were flowing out like a waterfall from Su Ling'er's eyes, she hugged the letter and cried in her bedroom, thinking about Jean's words.
