The Fallen Consort

"I finally found you, My King." His mouth curled up. He stepped closer to Yi Ling and kneeled.

Yi Ling didn't move. she didn't know this man, did he just called her king?

"Master, this is my fault" A voice echoed inside her head.

"Yu'er? what do you mean?"

"I met this guy on one of my travels with Tefei. He kept calling me His King. I don't know why and I didn't bother to know. Since I was short on time. I thought I lost him on my way back here. I guess he still found my tracks. But since Mu Xin's formation is active in the Abyss, no one could enter. He must've been waiting here."

"who is he?" Yi Ling was puzzled.

"He is a 7 Rank of Emergent Stage Spiritual Herb. Unlike regular spiritual herbs, This guy is a Five Million years old. After a certain year, A spiritual herb could give birth to a spirit, like me. The Eternal Oak didn't have a spirit until a Two Hundred million years after. I was able to grow unhindered because Im inside the Ring. Spirit Herbs is what we call ourselves. Once an herb has a spirit, it can sense any spirit herbs nearby. No matter where they are. He must've sense me inside the Ring". As if to confirm it, The Man was looking at the Ring itself.

"But why is he calling you King?" Yi Ling still didn't understand it.

"Master, that I do not know. When I became a spirit, My previous master was already missing. Im sorry". Even he was confused regarding this matter.

Yi Ling sighed. Looks like this is going to be a headache. She didn't want any company this time. But from the looks of it, this man had been chasing Linyu for many months.

With a manly voice, Yi Ling spoke.

"Who are you?"

"I do not have a name since I don't have a master. They just call me Green Viridis Tree". He was still kneeling, while taking a glimpse at the Sapphire Jade Ring every once in a while.

"Why are you here?"

"I can sense my King residing inside your Ring, Im guessing that you are his master. Please allow me to explain it to him directly." He bowed his head again, still kneeling.

She didn't have time for this, she thought. Might as well do as he says, It might do them some good. She waved her ring and Linyu appeared.

"Your Highness!" The man got up and was about to grab Linyu's hand.

Linyu dodge and move a little farther from him. "What do you want?" He said in a very stern voice.

"Your highness! Please don't be so mean to me. I only want to serve you." He look at Linyu with adoring eyes. Linyu was his King, the GOD in his eyes. Ever since meeting him coincidentally, He decided to never leave his side.

Linyu was a little bit shorter that the Green Viridis Tree's spirit. This man was making Linyu uncomfortable. It was one of the reasons that he tried to get away from him before.

Yi Ling was astonished. She felt like she was looking at lover's spat. Linyu being the husband and the dashing man as the wife. Even though the dashing man looked more manly than Linyu, While the latter is a bit more refined.

She shook her head, what was she thinking! But if truth be told, herbs have no genders. She laughed inside. Looks like Linyu will be getting a wife soon.
