The End Times as a Song

Chapter 371 Instructions

From the depths of darkness emerged a lithe man dressed in black. Upon seeing Ling Shu, he immediately knelt down: "Your subordinate greets Your Highness Ling Shu…!"

Ling Shu, with his back to the man in black, remained calm and spoke in a light tone: "Aji, it's been a long time...! Get up!"

The man in black looked up at Ling Shu and quickly refused Ling Shu's offer: "No, Your Highness Ling Shu, I'd better kneel!" A Ji kept his head down and continued to say to Ling Shu: "Your Highness Ling Shu, it's been eight whole years, I've been searching for you for so long...! Heaven rewards the diligent, I've finally found you!"

Memories flooded back, and Ling Shu recalled everything with a heavy heart, sighing, "Hmm...! Eight years have passed. You've grown up. You were only ten when I left, and you must be eighteen now. Time really flies!"

Ling Ji sensed Ling Shu's low spirits and dared not say anything. Ling Shu turned to Ling Ji and said casually, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared? Don't worry! I won't run away this time! I'll go back with you...!"

Ling Ji immediately relaxed, and with a smile, he asked Ling Shu again to confirm, "Your Highness Ling Shu, is this true? You are willing to return to the Spirit Cat Clan with me and will not make things difficult for me!"

Ling Shu reiterated Ling Jidi's words with certainty: "Yes! I won't run this time, I can't run anymore, I'm too old...!"

Ling Ji looked in the direction Mu Qingqing had just left, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness Ling Shu, who was that girl just now?"

Ling Shu calmly said, "Her name is Mu Qingqing, she is my daughter with Mu Yu...!"

Ling Ji was shocked: "What? His Highness Ling Shu has a little prince? What are we going to do...?"

"Aji! Don't worry, I'll explain everything to my mother...!"

"Your Highness, please forgive my impertinence, but why does the young prince possess an aura of a human?"

"Qingqing is a half-demon, and I've sealed away her demonic aura...!"

"A half-demon? Your Highness, you're confused...!"

"Ah Hai, I'm not confused. I know exactly what I'm doing."

"No, Your Highness Ling Shu, you'd better not go back to the Spirit Cat Clan. The clan leader might take your life...!"

"No, I'm going back...! I still want to take Qingqing back to the Spirit Cat Clan...!"

"Your Highness, you mustn't...!"

“Ah Hai, it’s been eight years. It’s time to go back and see my mother. Besides, I can’t drag you into this. If I don’t go back, how will I explain myself?”

"Your Highness, even in this state, you're still thinking of me. Don't you realize that you ran away from your arranged marriage for eight years and brought back a half-demon? How could the clan leader possibly let you off the hook...!"

"Blood is thicker than water, we have no choice but to take a gamble...!"

"No, no, this risk is too great...!"

"It's all fate...! This is probably my and Qingqing's fate. Ah Hai, thank you for thinking of Qingqing. Promise me you'll take good care of Qingqing, okay?"

"Young Master! I'm afraid Ah Hai can't do it. With Ah Hai's current abilities, I'm afraid he can't accomplish it. So I...!"

"You can do it! I trust you with Qingqing!"

"Alright! I promise you! Even if it costs me my life, I will take good care of the young master."

"Thank you!" Ling Shu went over and helped Hu Hai up, expressing her gratitude.

"Young Master! You're too kind! Hu Hai only hopes to do his best to fulfill your instructions, take good care of the young master, and not disappoint you."
