Chapter 394 Darkness swallowing the Light

While he and Ye Ling had similar views and ideology on progress, Hua Ziyan and Shen Min's talent or natural perception toward in-person combat was a lot higher than Feng Yi's with the reverse in tactical group combat and troop command being true as well.

So Wu Long did not need to push them as hard as Ye Ling pushed Feng Yi for the same amount of progress. Even though he did train with them until they were completely exhausted, but not past that point.

Though he found it a little interesting Ye Ling was equally or rather even more demanding with Wu Mengqi who could be considered a sword prodigy. But he also could understand her feeling since she saw something in her that she once saw in him on that snowy day when they met, that raw potential rivaling her own that she was drawn to and became excited to uncover and polish.

He also once went through her hellish training after all, though his mental condition at the time numbed all the perception of hardship, and his desire for power and tendency to push himself was at times too overwhelming even for her.

As they saw the training end as that window of passing one's limits was incredibly short even though it yielded tremendous results, he lightly stood up, stepping forward to disappear and reappearing to catch the body of the red-haired beauty in his arms.

"Mm, I guess this will have to do"

Ye Ling softly nodded with a gentle smile.

"Haha, I think it can't possibly not, since there's really no way to continue. But, are you sure you wanted this as her first lesson?

I'm not sure she'll come back for a second"

He chuckled and she softly shook her head as two beauties stepped out of a movement technique to the both sides of Wu Long.

"She will, once she confirms her progress she won't have a choice. Though it may take some time before then"

Wu Long nodded to Ye Ling's words finding some truth in them. It truly was hard to ignore results of this magnitude.

"Mm? Wu Long... ah!"

Feng Yi opened her eyes that were cloudy from dizziness and weakness but gasped in the next moment as she remembered the last moments before fainting.

"Shh, it is fine Yi'er"

He chuckled as he saw that expression, giving her a soothing kiss that put her back to sleep as he stood up with her in his arms.

'Hmm, or maybe it's not so bad, I guess I'll not pray to my ancestors after all'

His sincere and tender gaze broke through all of the defenses and arguments she had to support her idea, warming up her heart while his words momentarily robbed her of the ability to breathe.

He placed his hands on her cheeks and she felt their warmth as any semblance of resistance melted away as easily as snow melted on her skin as she looked slightly up at his face.

"You really are unfair"

She finally said after a long pause, the snow becoming more and more pale as the darkness rapidly overtook the garden, so imperceptibly and deceptively that one could swear it was only slowly approaching just a moment ago.

"I know, but I have my vices, selfishness being one"

He chuckled and their lips met in a kiss that lasted for a long time. When they finally broke it both smiled at each other as they linked foreheads.

"Besides, it's not like I'm saying not to ever use your Light side. As I said, even if it only part of you, it indeed is still you"

He chuckled as they resumed their walk. The darkness of the evening not impeding them as their steps were still steady.

"Where do you think it is necessary then?"

"Hmm... I wouldn't say it's necessary. But I can think of a few fun ideas in the bedroom..."

"Haha, you're shameless"

"I told you I have my vices, besides the way you prank the new Dao Family members has been quite amusing, their reactions always managing to bring smiles to Ziyan and Mingyu"

"It wasn't pranking you know"

"I know, I'm just saying, it's fun to watch their clueless faces when they talk with the Light side haha..."

"You really..."

"..."

Their peaceful voices gradually became distant as they disappeared into the darkness of the garden among the falling snow.
