Book 11: Chapter 36


    Ling Yue.


    Shut up


    Uhm


    I hugged Ling Yue in my arms. I wanted to speak, but she wouldnt let me. She hugged me back tightly. Her tail was tightly wrapped around me simrly to a snake trying to strangle me to death. She poked my chin using her ears with all her might as though she was trying to stab them into my nose.


    I pressed my hand on her tail. I wasnt the one who took the initiative to press my hand on it. It was Ling Yue who grabbed my hand by force, and then pressed it on her own tail. She forbade me from touching her tail in the past, but she now let meb her tail all the time. She liked being at my side, watching meb her tail. Of course, if I identally pulled on a string of fur, shed give me a violent punch.


    Ling Yue didnt have a fondness for gold or silver jewellery. However, she ced immense importance on her tail. She applied an expensive coating oil on her tail. She used a very preciousb carved from a dragons bone. She didnt have just a singleb, but an entire set. Of course, said set of things was one of the spoils of war we found in the ruins of the Norths pce. Ling Yue took it. There was no chance of taking it back. She also seemed to really want to find a string for her tail simr to one you would use for a ponytail.


    I could already imagine Ling Yues look when she swung her tail around, feeling pleased with herself. As I said, Ling Yue ced a heavy importance on her tail, and she was very proud of it. She would proudly show her tail to anyone, but nobody was allowed to touch it. I got hit with a quadruple pbo when I touched it in the past, and that consequence still remained. Nheless, she was fine with me.


    She now actually asked me to help herb her tail every day. Of important notice is that she would approach me with a hazy look in her eyes, which was simr to being under the influence after Ibed her tail, and then she would climb on top of me. She waspletely unlike her reserved self. After I confessed to her, Ling Yue, who waspletely released of her restraints, started to resemble Nier in a certain capacity.


    Ling Yue


    She raised her head up to look at me. She smiled. Im d youre back. Its all right. You dont need to apologise. I dont think yourete nor am I displeased that you left me here for so long. Im just d that youre back. Seeing as you still remember me, it proves that your love for me isnt just lip service.


    I never said that. If I was just ying you, then I wouldnt be by your side, would I? Id have been beaten to death already, wouldnt I?


    Uhm responded Ling Yue, with a giggle. How is Lucia? The fact that you were gone for so long must prove that something happened to Lucia, right? Weve only met once, but I think shes a decent girl. After all, she wasnt hostile to me.


    If she was fine, shed definitely be hostile to you when she sees you. Lucias physical health is extremely poor at the moment. Her childs condition is causing her to be extremely weak physically. I cant make my wife leave while shes pregnant and in her weak state. Ill need to remain by her side until she gives birth or recovers physically.


    Ling Yue looked at me with a hard to describe gaze. She hesitated for a moment, and then asked, What about us, then? What about us? If Lucia doesnt recover, are we going to be able to just get married?


    What do you think?


    Ling Yue looked at me. Her tail froze in mid-air. She looked at me with a stunned look. Her body leaning on mine froze stiff. I hugged her and looked at her while feeling my heart ache a little. I really didnt want to make her reveal that sort of expression. It wasnt an expression showing the pain of being rejected, but the look of despair that came after being filled with hope. That expression makes one feel guiltier than anything.


    She knew what I wanted to say. I had basically betrayed her. And she was right; I did betray her. I couldnt marry her when Lucia was in her current state. No way. Once Lucia recovered, Id be around our kid, so I wouldnt be getting married again.


    I looked at her and apologised softly, Sorry Sorry Ling Yue Sorry I really cant help it I really cant take you to Lucia when shes so weak Sorry Its not that I dont love you


    But because you arent bias toward me, right?


    Ling Yue sighed. She then pinched my face and let out another long sigh. She then raised her hand up high. I shut my eyes to wait for the heavy hit to swing down.


    <em>I deserve this p. Im making Ling Yue go through this sort of twisted situation, so it wouldnt even be too much if she stabbed me.</em>


    However, the p didntnd on my face.


    I felt a warm and soft sensation on my lips. Ling Yues tongue forced my bottom and top teeth apart. She bit my lip with her beast-like teeth. She bit as if she wanted to tear my lip off and eat it. Ling Yue behaved as though she was a wild beast, and I was her prey. She wanted to gobble me to make me a part of her.


    I subconsciously responded to her, but she pushed me away. She looked at me angrily and wiped her lips. Sheined, Your mouth tastes like another woman!


    Sorry I just kissed Lucia.


    Hmph! Ling Yue aggressively swung her tail, and then sat down to the side. So, you dont n to marry me now?


    Uhm, I replied with a nod. No chance now.


    She stood up. All right, then. I want to go home.


    Ling Yue


    She looked at me and solemnly said, Dont get it wrong. Loving you and you marrying me are two separate matters. Before you returned, I prepared myself in case you wouldnt marry me, or you wouldnte back. But you dide back. The fact that you remembered me when you were with Lucia and came back is proof that you still love me. A wedding is but a ceremony to me, and I dont even have family members who could participate in the ceremony, so I dont mind. Further, I didnt intend to live with you in the pce. I told you, I want to return home and revive my tribe.


    Ling Yue


    Ling Yue looked at me and with a smile. So Im all right. Im fine with being your mistress as long as we both love each other. I cant make this hard for you, since I love you, and I wont force you to choose between me and your wife. If I am to be your mistress, so be it. But you muste to see me regrly as before. Also, I want a child, too.


    I promise you, Ling Yue. I promise you. I walked up to Ling Yue. I knelt down on one knee and hugged her. Thank you. Thank you, Ling Yue. Thank you for your support, and thank you for amodating me.


    If I want to be your lover I must be considerate of you. I think that it would be the same whether it was Nier or Lucia, right?
