The Fallen Consort

When King Jin arrived at the Palace, he was still carrying Yi Ling. Instead of going to his quarters, he headed on to the opposite courtyard. It was his little sister's courtyard. No one was using it anyways.

He carried her all the way to the main chamber and sat her down on the bed. Nobody have seen them come in, he was proficient with his Qinggong.

The room was dark, King Jin lighted the candles. Yi Ling didn't speak the whole way, she find it hard not to argue everytime she speaks with this man. But she was ever grateful to be sitting in a comfortable bed than the ground.

"Yu Ran, Tian Gu. Come to this King" King Jin said softly, The two were following them all this time. They stayed outside to guard. Tian Gu already told the others to rest, some of them were injured during the fight earlier. Unfortunately, the legendary beast got away before Yu Ran came.

The doors open and the two went inside. They bowed their heads and cupped their fist.

"Your servants are here to obey the King's commands." Said the two.

"Yi Ling will be staying in this Pavilion from now on. Yu Ran, Give her some servants to attend to her. Give her everything she needs, this King wants the best for her. Also, she is allowed to go to anywhere. Tian Gu, Send the Rabbit and Eagle to attend to her. This King feels comfortable if someone guards her in case someone brings troubles to her. This is an order!" King Jin said firmly, while looking at Yi Ling. He is waiting to see if she'll disagree with him on this or add anything else. Yi Ling only looked back at him and didn't say a word.

Yu Ran now understands who the young man was, It was the King's consort. he smiled. Poor Tian Gu, he haven't seen the woman before so he was still kept in the dark. Who was Yi Ling and the young man in front of them? He looked at Yu Ran, Yu Ran gave him a grim smile instead.

Yu Ran sent a telepathic message, "I'll explain later". Tian Gu nodded.

"Your servants obeys the King's orders" They bowed and left.

When everyone left, Yi Ling was still having a staring contest with the King.

"Is this King really that good looking? That you keep staring at this King?" King Jin smiled.

"Too conceited, You're not even that handsome compared to my contracted Deity". Yi Ling replied.

King Jin frowned. Nobody had told him that he wasn't handsome before.

"Deity? you believe in Gods?" King Jin couldn't help but be curious to this woman's identity.

"Yes, Deity. He is a God that I adore very much. Your are nothing compared to him at all." Which was true, Mu Xin was way more gentle to her than this Pig. Hmmp..

King Jin's face turned unsightly. The more he heard about this Deity, the more he got furious.

"There isn't be any Deity on this continent! He must be lying to you!" he gritted his teeth.

"Of course there isn't, he is stuck inside a prison. You won't be able to find him" Yi Ling smirked.

King Jin couldn't believe what he was hearing. A Deity? There's another one like him?

"Yi Ling, where did you come from?" he had to ask. It was bothering him now.

"Feng Kingdom!" Since Yi Ling wanted to go back there and no one knew how to get there. Maybe this man knows where? He is a King after all. She grinned at King Jin.
