The Way of The Dao

Chapter 87 The Truth

?"You're my woman now, so I'll always be with you, so you don't have to worry about feeling lonely and helpless anymore." Ling Tian gently held Yun Mengxin's delicate hand when she finished speaking.

Ling Tian understood many things about her life, and he was able to learn from the difficulties she had gone through. His admiration for her grew even greater. Not giving up in the face of any circumstance or illness, not just anyone could do that.

Yun Mengxin had told him almost all of her life, so inevitably some problems came to light.

'It seems that I will have to visit those elders in her family and take care of those so-called young masters of the great families.' Ling Tian thought as he recalled her current problems.

Yun Mengxin felt the warmth and confidence that Ling Tian conveyed to herself.

"Thanks... my husband." Yun Mengxin's cheeks turned slightly red: "But I don't want to bother you every time I have a problem."

Ling Tian nodded when he heard her reply. He understood that Yun Mengxin would try to be independent, so she certainly did not want to be a burden to him.

"A husband always helps his wife, so your problems are mine too, your sadness and happiness, for better or worse I will be there for you, supporting you, so you don't have to worry about trivial things." Ling Tian smiled warmly at her and continued: "But you can still become very strong, so you don't have to worry, I assure you."

Yun Mengxin nodded as she remembered the promise he had given her.

"I..." Ling Tian stopped talking as he looked into Yun Mengxin's beautiful eyes. He wanted to be honest with her, so that there would be real trust between them, so he wanted to tell her about himself, but... he didn't know how to start.

Yun Mengxin smiled softly as she caressed his cheek: "You don't have to force yourself, if you can't tell me about yourself now I will understand. I trust you." She knew that Ling Tian wanted to tell her about him, but for some reason he couldn't. Still, she trusted him.

Ling Tian felt more love in his heart.

A woman who is understanding and trusts one, what wonderful woman is this? What more could he ask for?

Ling Tian shook his head. With a wife like that, how could he hide things from her?

He stood up and took Yun Mengxin's soft waist. Then, he took out his sword and they flew up to the sky.

Yun Mengxin was shocked and in awe.

They were flying!

It took Yun Mengxin a long time to come out of her daze, as she turned to look at Ling Tian. He showed her a slightly stiff smile. Her head was full of countless questions.

Ling Tian led Yun Mengxin around the place, even flying over the star city. He had cast an invisibility spell for anything while they were above the city.

No one spoke during that course.

After a while, they returned to the place where they were before.

Yun Mengxin was calm on the surface, but the excitement, the commotion was still there. Her eyes clearly betrayed her.

Ling Tian let go of her waist, as he walked a few paces near the edge of the lake. The sunlight illuminated his figure as he saw his own reflection in the water.

"As you may infer, I am not from the Star City. I come from somewhere else..."

Ling Tian's voice began to be heard.

Yun Mengxin watched his back as she tried to listen to his story. She knew that what Ling Tian had to say was about him.

"That place, it's very different from what it is here.

People can fly.

They can move the waters of the sea.

The people can break mountains in half.

A person can live for an eternity..."

Yun Mengxin didn't speak, but her commotion continued to grow. Do such people really exist? What kind of world is that? Are they gods?

Ling Tian turned around to look at her directly.

"I am a cultivator..."

Yun Mengxin didn't know what a cultivator was. Ling Tian did not let much time pass before continuing, slowly answering the doubts she had.

"A cultivator is something like what you call a martial artist, only, cultivators are much more powerful than you. Our power goes beyond what you can imagine. A cultivator can do an infinite number of things."

Ling Tian slowly approached Yun Mengxin. He reached out to take her hand, but hesitated and finally did not. He didn't dare look directly at her.

"I am an Immortal...

I have lived many years, more than you can imagine, so I have seen an infinite number of things in all my life.

In the past, I was someone very different.

My hands are stained with blood from the rivers of blood and mountains of corpses I created in my path. Inevitably I became a very cold and ruthless person, very much the opposite of what you see today.

All to have the strength to protect my loved ones.

I-I... I lost them twice... so I didn't want to go through that again.

Even though I'm not that demon anymore, I would still kill without a second thought if someone wanted to hurt the people I love. I wouldn't regret it.

Haa...

My strength grew to the point of being above all things, but unfortunately, I made a fatal mistake and fell into this world. At first, my power was completely gone, but now it is slowly returning, as I search for a way back to my world."

Ling Tian spoke with a concerned tone. He did not want her to think that he was a monster who had lived for thousands of years, as this is something that 'should not be possible', so he was worried and anxious. He knew that people on this lower plane could live up to 200 years because of the techniques they used as long as their inner strength reached a very high level. That is why Ling Tian first flew with Yun Mengxin, so that she could more easily believe that what he was telling her was completely true.

Yun Mengxin was really stunned by everything Ling Tian had said. Was he really an Immortal of the legends? Are the world he comes from gods? People who can break the heavens?

Watching his worried, deviant gaze, Yun Mengxin understood what Ling Tian was feeling. Now she understood why Ling Tian was worried about talking to her about him. No doubt, anyone would first think this was some kind of joke, or if they came to believe it, they would think of him as some kind of monster or demon.

Yun Mengxin smiled understandingly. She extended her arm and took his hand, while her other hand directed it and shook his head so that he turned to see her: "I will accept you as you are, Ling Tian. You do not have to worry, I know and trust that you are a very good person, I feel it in my heart, otherwise you would not help me to cure my illness that night without asking me anything in return, and you would not save me the night before. Therefore, you can trust me no matter what. I'm your woman, your wife, you said so yourself, so your problems will also be mine, your happiness and sadness, for better or worse I'll be supporting you."

Yun Mengxin's thin, soft fingers intertwined with Ling Tian's fingers, as she expressed to him that she would not leave him. Her eyes showed absolute sincerity, with no hint of fear or hesitation.

Ling Tian's heartstrings had been gently pulled, while the image of this woman was solidified further within him. She occupied his heart completely.

What he feared most did not happen. The weight that was floating in his heart disappeared completely. His being felt peace and tranquility, as well as a sense of happiness and love.

Ling Tian gently pulled Yun Mengxin's hand, causing her body to cling to him, while giving her a soft kiss on her soft lips and then hugging her tenderly. Yun Mengxin did not resist and also hugged him after she reciprocated his kiss.

The two remained in each other's arms like this for quite some time, before Ling Tian suddenly carried her in his arms and sat on the floor with Yun Mengxin on his legs.

Now, he would start explaining to her everything about him.
