"You mean Soul Rings?"
Meng Hongchen came around. It did seem to make sense.
Soul Rings were formed from the original power of Soul Beasts. When Soul Masters absorbed Soul Rings, they were absorbing Soul Beasts.
Taking it a step further, Soul Bones worked on the same principle. But it was still astonishing to see someone like Feng directly merge with a Soul Beast.
"Luochen Sister said you're only staying here for a month."
At the mention of something else, Meng Hongchen seemed reluctant to part.
"What, are you in a hurry to marry me?"
"If you are, we can head to Ming Capital and get married as soon as we leave the Far North."
Yang Hao laughed.
"You're the one who's in a hurry."
She shot him a look. A blush spread across Meng Hongchen's fair, pretty face, and she was clearly tempted.
"Let's not. You and Tian Zhen only got married recently. We can go back and get married before the next Soul Master Tournament."
She wasn't foolish or willful. Besides, she had already discussed this with her grandfather. They had to take the Imperial Family's dignity into account; otherwise, someone would surely bring it up at court.
"We'll face many enemies in the future. Only by growing stronger can I protect you all better."
Yang Hao drew the girl into his arms. There was no helping the time they spent apart right now. He had many things to do, and no one else could take his place. He had to do them himself.
"I know."
Meng Hongchen nodded. She knew some of the secrets, and there were even some things she couldn't tell her brother or grandfather yet.
It was all for their future. That was why she could bear the solitude and train so hard here.
