Heroic Chivalry: The Green Legend – Chapter One: Heart-to-Heart
All the way, Jingyi and I rode our horses swiftly northward. Although we passed through places like Suzhou, we didn’t stop, because we had urgent business to eliminate the Heroic Chivalry Alliance and restore Heroic Chivalry Manor’s authority in the martial world. As long as the Alliance existed, the Manor had no right to command the righteous forces. If you can’t even deal with traitors, how can you lead the martial world?
Besides this goal, we had a few other things to do: visit the Absolute Blade Sect, meet the Beggar Sect leader, and if possible, find the Four Great Bandits who knocked me off the cliff. There was a lot to do, but since Jingyi no longer took the initiative to do lewd things, our travel speed was extremely fast. Riding the finest horses in the world, we made great time. In just one day, we passed Qiushui City, and by evening, we arrived at a small town.
When we stopped at the only inn in town, the attendant immediately recognized from our horses that we were wealthy. He greeted us with a fawning smile, but when he saw Jingyi, he was stunned he had never seen such a captivating beauty. Especially when Jingyi dismounted and revealed her beautiful legs, he couldn’t help but swallow. Jingyi was careful, so he wasn’t lucky enough to see above her thighs. Because of this, the other guests in the inn misunderstood they thought we weren’t martial artists.
In the minds of most martial artists, any woman who knows martial arts will wear underpants when traveling. If not, she’s not a martial artist. So, a few men with big swords immediately looked at Jingyi and me with greedy eyes especially Jingyi, their eyes burning with lust. Both of us noticed, but didn’t care, because we were far stronger than them.
After dinner, Jingyi and I went to our room to rest. In truth, with our skills, we didn’t need rest our horses did. Although we could travel as fast as our steeds, since Jingyi hadn’t reached grandmaster level, she would be exhausted after a full day’s run.
Today, Jingyi spoke little to me. The look in her eyes pained me: self-blame, guilt, confusion. I knew the reason and that her state of mind would eventually cause her to lose balance and stall her cultivation. Jingyi was already at the peak of supreme mastery; with a small breakthrough, she could reach perfection, just a step from grandmaster. After thinking all day, I decided to resolve her inner conflict tonight.
Entering the room, I immediately hugged Jingyi from behind and gently said, "Wife, you haven’t smiled these past days. Why? Can you tell me? Or do you think I’m not a trustworthy husband?"
After I hugged her, Jingyi’s body stiffened, then tears silently fell as she softly said, "Husband, I... I’m so lowly! I know I shouldn’t, but I still... with so many men... sob..."
As her low sobs sounded, I was relieved. As long as my wife was willing to talk, there was a solution. If she kept it bottled up, there’d be no way. After hearing her, I hugged her tightly, gently rubbing my face against hers, and said, "Wife, do you remember what I told you that night you first came back?"
