His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Yao Ling watched her laughing husband and really wanted to kick him --- he was so annoying! She sighed in relief when he did nothing else, except nibbling her ears. She asked softly, "Is he still here?"

Yao Ying nodded while continued laughing, however, he didn\'t forget to be vigilant. He still tried to gauge where the man\'s location was. What made him frustrated was... he still couldn\'t find his exact location. The more he went out to see the world, the more he knew that there were a lot of people who were stronger than him. He had to continue improving himself as well, so he could protect Yao Ling better.

He wondered who this man was. He started to realize something... did he come because Yao Ling was using her power just now?

He was truly careless!

Yao Ying remembered that he could feel the fluctuating power that Yao Ling had emitted back then. No wonder this expert was attracted to this place! He must have felt something, thus, he quickly went to their courtyard. Besides, it was not only that... he remembered that Yao Ling only emitted a subtle fluctuating power, so he reckoned no one would pay attention to it --- unless, the man was deliberately searching for the trace of power.

It seemed like the man was looking for Aunt Yue. Yao Ying was able to deduct it correctly with a few hints with his cleverness. He needed to talk about this matter to Yao Ling and Rong Qiu when the man had already gone.

Yao Ying answered Yao Ling\'s question, "Yes, he is still here."

Yao Ling asked, "Do you find out where he is at the moment?" Yao Ling felt uncomfortable for being spied on in her own courtyard.

Yao Ying shook his head while continued acting lovingly towards Yao Ling.

Yao Ling furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that. "Why don\'t we go back inside?" She was afraid that the man would attack them all of a sudden and with their current position, they were at a disadvantage.

"No..." Yao Ying rejected her idea because he still wanted to find out where the man was and what his purpose was. If he left without attacking them, then his guess must have been correct --- that man was only searching for Aunt Yue. If he attacked them, then it would be another matter altogether.

Yao Ling could only obey Yao Ying, knowing that he must have a plan.

The man, who kept his gaze on them, started to feel bored when looking at their intimacy. What did this couple want to do in a broad daylight? Making love right then and there? The man kept pouncing on the woman while the woman kept giggling cutely.

He tried once again to feel the surroundings with his inner qi and after he was more convinced that the couple didn\'t have anything to do with Aunt Yue, he went away in disappointment.

Yao Ying sighed in relief, but with a mixture of disappointment in it as well.

Yao Ling asked, "He already left, right?" She wanted to add... \'You also couldn\'t find out his whereabouts, right?\' But she didn\'t dare to say it because she could see how disappointed Yao Ying was.

Yao Ling tried to cheer him up, "At least, the intruder seems to think that whatever he was looking for, it\'s not here..."

Yao Ying nodded in agreement. He led Yao Ling away from the garden and brought her inside their room. Rong Qiu was still sleeping soundly, so they lowered their voices when talking. Yao Ling was quite confused with Yao Ying\'s behavior --- he suddenly became so serious.

"Ling-er, I don\'t think you should use your power again at Crescent Lake --- especially when we are staying here. It\'s dangerous," Yao Ying warned her.

Yao Ling was taken aback. "Did that man come here because of me?" It was reasonable for Yao Ling to ask this, especially because of Yao Ying\'s attitude and the appearance of the man who spied on them. She put two and two together.

Yao Ying nodded. "I think so too..."

After saying that, Yao Ying explained his deduction to Yao Ling and the latter found his explanation possible.

Yao Ling bit her lower lip out of nervousness. "It seems like I\'ve made a big mistake," Yao Ling said worriedly.

She should have known ah~! Her power was still new and it was unstable --- she also realized that she couldn\'t use it really well because it almost exhausted all of her power back then. However, because she was successful, she felt a bit arrogant inwardly and she was ashamed of that.

Yao Ying shook his head. "It\'s not a big mistake. We actually don\'t have any detailed information about this power, maybe your father could help. After all, he is a Bei Yue, so he must have known something too."

Yao Ling agreed with Yao Ying and she sighed in frustration. "I think the man must have thought that it was my grandmother who used the magic power just now. Otherwise, the man would certainly find out about me!"

She started to realize that this power was actually a hot potato --- no wonder so many people wanted to get her grandmother for themselves.

"Yes... that\'s why you should stop using the power for now --- just to be safe. After leaving this, you can start learning about it slowly. Ah... I almost forgot. Didn\'t your grandmother leave us with the scrolls?" Yao Ying said.

Yao Ling was too agitated back then to remember and that was why she forgot about it. Her grandmother had given her most of her power, but she also must have known that she would be running into trouble when she tried to use the power. Hence, she had given her the scrolls to prepare for this.

There was a pang in Yao Ling\'s heart --- she actually knew that her grandmother must have been in the dire state back then, and yet, she still thought of everything for her. "Do you have the scrolls with you?" Yao Ling asked.

Yao Ying nodded. "Why? Do you want to take a look at it now?"

Yao Ling nodded her head. "I was being careless. I should have read the scrolls before trying to use the power..."

Yao Ying sighed. "I will give the scrolls to you after you take a rest..."

"But..."

"There\'s no but! I know that you are tired. I will wake you up once father-in-law wakes up. He isn\'t going to go anywhere!" Yao Ying emphasized the last part.

"I need..." Before Yao Ling could finish what she wanted to say, Yao Ying cut her off.

"Sleep!"

"But..."

"Sleep or I will burn the scrolls! Choose!" Yao Ying threatened her. He knew that the current Yao Ling needed to be treated with a firm attitude. He didn\'t want her to faint because she worked too hard!

Yao Ling could see that he was being serious, thus, she decided to obey him. If she fainted, her father and husband would be worried about her. Yao Ying sighed in relief when he knew that she finally relented.

Yao Ying decided to discuss everything with his father-in-law, Lin Jian, and Xiao Fang after Yao Ling and his father-in-law had a good nap.
