Spirit Cultivation

Chapter 518 Blessing

"Uff... she really did it..." the old man gasped, staring at Xuefeng who hugged the unconscious Ming and flew down the sky. "I didn’t think she would actually sacrifice herself for him..."

"Wait... Sacrifice? Did she actually die?" the middle-aged man asked, his face turning pale.

"Of course not but she lost something precious to him. At least that’s what I think she did," the old man explained. "There was a rumor that the King of Heavens got mad that Queen Ming didn’t want to give her blessing to him. The blessing was meant to connect the two and give a boost of strength to him. The obvious reason she used to reject him was the consequences of this blessing. Not only she would become weakened but she would also lose her independence."

"Independence? So she would basically become his slave?"

"You said it." the old man shrugged. "The King of Heavens got mad because she didn’t trust him. Since then there were many problems between them and they constantly argued. Obviously, there can only be one Queen so she can’t just give her blessing to anyone. Queen Ming is smart. I’m sure she rejected to test him. Just based on the fact that he got mad, I wouldn’t give him jack shit."

"Watch out, you are talking about the King of Heavens," the middle-aged man warned casually but obviously, both of them were against him. "I understand you. My wife is still locked inside the Fate Kingdom. How many years have I not seen her? I want to curse him as much as you do."

"Well, I would love to see his face when he realizes his Queen offered her blessing to Xuefeng," the old man scoffed and moved, flying down. "Come, let’s check if Queen Ming is alright."

———

"Are you alright?"

Ming heard Xuefeng’s sweet voice right beside her ear and couldn’t help but melt again, her heart acting completely different than before her blessing. Each time he spoke, her body reacted, forcing her to focus on his voice fully.

She guessed it would take her some time to get adjusted to that feeling. Who would have thought the side effects of her blessing would be this strong?

’So he will be my future king from now on...’ Ming thought, opening her eyes to look at her chosen one.

Her eyelids were heavy but she felt a deep need to see him.

"Mhmm... I’m fine... Just a little weak," Ming replied, squeezing his neck with her leftover strength.

She stared into his face and smiled on instinct, hugging into his cheek without restraints before whispering, "Please hold me tightly or I will fall... I don’t have any strength left..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall," Xuefeng assured, hugging her body even closer to her chest. "Do you need to return inside and rest?"

She took her time to reply, busy feasting on his delicious smell. He didn’t know but just a sniff of him made her body react, feeling like to swallow him whole. If she had any strength left, she didn’t think she would be able to restrain herself.

"No. I want you to hug me. I want to stay in your arms," Ming muttered, not willing to separate from him. "Also... You can hold me by my butt... I don’t mind..."

She could feel Xuefeng acted reserved, not trying to take advantage of her while she was in her weakened state but she wanted the exact opposite.

"Well, okay. It will be easier for me," Xuefeng accepted quite easily, as it was uncomfortable to hold her by her back and reached down, lifting her butt with his hand.

Ah!

Ming couldn’t help but moan, her body suddenly shivering from pleasure. She bit her lip to stop but Xuefeng already heard it, stopping his flight.

"Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you, right?" Xuefeng asked worriedly, acting like he thought he hurt her by accident.

What was she supposed to say? That she gave herself away to him and she can never leave him? That each of his touches makes her almost pass out from pleasure? That she can’t stop thinking about him, her mind fixated on serving him?

"Uhmm... I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m just a little bit sensitive..." Ming assured while hiding into his neck. "It would be best if you don’t make any sudden movements..."

"I’m already flying slowly. We will reach the Palace soon so you can rest properly," Xuefeng explained as he continued the flight.

"What happened when I was out...? Did the chains stop chasing after you...?" Ming asked quietly, trying to distract her mind.

"Yes. After you saved us, Drakos killed the Ruler so the passage closed right after," Xuefeng described and questioned, "Can you tell me what you did? I thought nothing can stop the chains other than the Elemental Bracelet."

"Well, I had the power to give you a one-time blessing. It’s meant to increase your strength by gathering the Fate Qi from our surroundings. I wanted to use it inside the Fate Kingdom where the concentration of Fate Qi is the highest but I guess it worked out well here too. We were able to absorb all Fate Qi from the chains and use it to strengthen your body," Ming explained while skipping some of the details and hugged him, breathing weakly, "Hu... I guess I’m still too weak to speak so much..."

"So that’s why... Please, don’t force yourself to speak if you feel weak," Xuefeng pleaded. "And thank you for saving me. It was greedy of me to think I can repeatedly cheat Heavens."

"You are welcome... " Ming cheered up, rubbing her nose against his neck. "It worked out well so don’t worry about it..."

Her fingers were brushed into his hair and she massaged him gently, pretty sure it would soon become her favorite activity.

She finally understood why all of his wives loved to spend time with him, showering him with their love. Not only she enjoyed it but she was at peace at well, her mind calming down.

"I can’t see the girls with us... Where is everyone?" Ming questioned, seeing they were reaching the palace. "Are we going to be alone?"

"Mhmm, I told them to stay and help my father tame the chaos while I carry you to rest," Xuefeng replied as he started slowing down, prepared to land. "I will have to go back to help them too."

Ming’s heart sank when she heard it.

’No! I want you to stay with me!’ She screamed internally.

Thud.

Xuefeng landed and placed her gently on the balcony floor, asking while supporting her, "Can you stand?"

She was still weak so her legs immediately began to shiver. Ming didn’t even need to fake it to convince him.

"I can stand but I doubt I can reach the bed... Can you carry me?"

"Of course," Xuefeng nodded, canceling his wings to enter inside with her.

He lifted the quilt and placed her on the bed, sitting right next to her afterward.

"Are you sure you don’t want to return to Ling’s world and sleep here instead?" Xuefeng asked as he reached out, checking her forehead for the temperature. "You definitely need some rest. You are really hot."

"I don’t want to return. I want to stay here..." Ming replied, staring at him unhappily.

"What? Why are you making such a face? Did I do anything wrong?" Xuefeng questioned, rubbing on her cheek.

"I will rest but how am I supposed to sleep with my clothes on...? I’m too weak to take them off by myself," Ming complained, trying hard to lift herself up to reach to the bottom of her dress but Xuefeng suddenly pushed her back on the bed.

"Let me help you, don’t move."
