Chapter 19: The Way of Man: Take what is not enough to make up for what is in excess

Yang Chong couldn't help but think of a sentence: I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

The beauty of the mountains and rivers is the creation of heaven and earth. At this moment, even with Yan Lingji by his side, Yang Chong's sight was firmly attracted by the scenery in front of him. Everywhere he looked, there were endless mountains and ridges stretching out, all at his feet.

At the end of the sight is the vaguely visible Sinjeong City, the most prosperous city in South Korea.

"This is the taste of freedom!" Yan Lingji was now completely immersed in her own world. With her arms stretched out, she was like a bird eager to fly, as if she wanted to embrace the sky in her arms.

The cold snow hit her delicate cheeks. Although it was icy, Yan Lingji's heart was burning.

"What does freedom taste like?" Yang Chong asked with his head tilted after regaining his composure.

"What does freedom smell like?" Yan Lingji was startled, then said: "Freedom is the smell I like. Freedom is the smell of fire."

As Yan Lingji finished speaking, a ball of fire ignited from her palm. In the cold wind, the flame changed its shape wantonly. Yan Lingji watched infatuatedly, watching the flame dance with the wind, and her red lips slightly opened: "Freedom is that the flame can dance with the wind. It may not have a purpose, but it must burn."

"Dancing with the wind?" Yang Chong said to himself, and then smiled maliciously: "What is the wind, young lady? Prince Baiyue?"

"Anyway, it's not you." Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows and glared at Yang Chong fiercely.

"That's not important. I'm just curious, what kind of favor has Prince Baiyue done for you that deserves your loyalty despite being imprisoned for so many years?" Yang Chong asked curiously.

When a person meets a woman like Yan Lingji, the first thing he sees is often her beauty, but those who truly understand her will know that she is also a very loyal woman. Especially for someone like Yan Lingji, who has a somewhat bad temper, loyalty is even more precious in her.

"You don't understand." Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong, but what emerged in her mind was Baiyue Tianze and several other figures. They gave a little girl abandoned by the world a place to put her soul. That kind of thing might be just an ordinary thing to others, but to her, it was the most precious thing in the world.

"I will understand it later." Yang Chong said.

"Do you want to get to know me better?" Yan Lingji's eyebrows turned, and the cold look turned into teasing.

"Of course, after all, we are going to be together for three years." Yang Chong said calmly. He would not be fooled. Yan Lingji was just fishing.

"Then you have to be careful." Yan Lingji said with a smile.

"What should we be careful about?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Be careful or you will fall in love with me. If you fall in love with me, it will be very dangerous and painful." Yan Lingji said as she puffed out her chest. The wild temptation from the Baiyue witch was perfectly presented in front of Yang Chong.

However, Yan Lingji still underestimated Yang Chong. As a person who has been baptized by various beautiful pictures, Yang Chong has a strong tolerance for visual impact. What can attract him more now is the unique temperament, just like Jingwei.

"That's for the future, not now." Yang Chong said calmly. "Eh? Do you have someone in your heart now?" Yan Lingji asked curiously. She was still young when she was imprisoned. Although she has grown up when she stepped into this world again, she has not yet completely transformed in some aspects and has not completely become the fairy in Yang Chong's memory.

"Not only my heart, but now even my life belongs to her." Yang Chong said.

"I didn't realize you were such an affectionate person." Yan Lingji smiled gently and put away her seductive look. The Yang Chong in front of her was her collaborator, not her prey. Appropriate teasing was fun, but it would be a different story if she went too far.

"Deep affection? I guess so." Yang Chong laughed, but did not explain too much. In fact, what he said was not wrong. To a certain extent, his life now really belonged to Jingwei, and everything he did now was just to take his life from the hands of Jingwei's Luowang killers and hold it tightly.

For the time being? Yan Lingji's mind turned. She heard something different in Yang Chong's words, and then asked, "Who is that woman? What kind of woman is she?"

"She is my fiancée. Her current name is Wei Weishang. As for what kind of woman she is, she can probably be called a beautiful and powerful woman." Yang Chong said.

"Beautiful and powerful, is this really a description of a woman? But, your fiancée? Ha, unexpected, unexpected." Yan Lingji smiled slightly, and the gossipy look in her eyes deepened.

"Her real identity is the Luowang killer." Yang Chong said bluntly.

In the future, Yang Chong will have to rely on Yan Lingji's power to fight against the danger from Luowang, so he naturally cannot hide too much from Yan Lingji, including the identity of his fiancée. Moreover, the threat from Luowang will also make Yan Lingji believe that Yang Chong can find the whereabouts of the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake for her. After all, anyone who can be spied on by Luowang is not an ordinary person.

"Luowang's killer?" Yan Lingji was caught off guard. She was so affectionate just now, how come he suddenly became murderous?

"She came for your life?" Yan Lingji asked quickly after realizing something.

"Is that so!" Yang Chong said. Although he didn't know what Jingwei's specific mission was, he knew that Luowang went to great lengths to make Jingwei, an elite member of Luowang, his fiancée and it was definitely not to give him a benefit. He didn't have that kind of face. After all, even Xinling Jun didn't have that kind of face, let alone him, a young man who was unremarkable except for being a time traveler.
"What an unlucky person." Yan Lingji said sympathetically.

Luowang, although Yan Lingji had never had direct contact with it, she knew what kind of organization it was. If someone else was targeted by Luowang, they would have probably fallen into chaos due to worry and fear, but Yang Chong obviously did not.

"No, I'm not unlucky. On the contrary, I'm extremely lucky." Yang Chong said.

"You've been targeted by Luowang, and you still think you're lucky?" Yan Lingji sneered, thinking that Yang Chong was just being stubborn.

"Of course, you will understand it later." Yang Chong looked into the distance and saw a convoy passing through the stone road in the mountains in the distance, with the sound of carriages and horses rumbling.

"What is that?" Yan Lingji suppressed the doubts in her heart and followed Yang Chong's gaze to look at the convoy in the distance.

"It should be the taxes sent from all over Korea to Xinzheng. It's really the way of man, making up for the deficit with the surplus." Yang Chong replied.

As Yang Chong was speaking, a figure deep in his soul trembled slightly, as if there was a slight change, but when Yang Chong looked, he found nothing and thought it was just his illusion.
