"So you're saying is, they won't approve of our relationship?" ask Yun Fei.
Huo Ling could only nod, after explaining everything to Yun Fei, she could finally feel a little relieved, although her current feelings were still very chaotic and also sad.
"Hah" Yun Fei sighed heavily, "so, that's the reason that made you leave the holy fire clan?"
Again, only a slow nod was given by Huo Ling as the answer.
"You take it easy, I won't back down just because of that matter."
A long sigh escaped from Huo Ling's mouth, "Fei, the problem is not only that, but they don't approve of our relationship, do you understand what I mean?"
"I'm very understanding, and you also have to understand that I'm going to work until they've settled our relationship."
"But..."
"That's it, everything's gonna be okay."
Huo Ling smiled and nodded slowly, Yun Fei's words managed to make her worry fade away, but still, that feeling of worry still could not disappear completely.
As the daughter of the clan leader, Huo Ling certainly understood how strict the rules of her clan were, and naturally, it would not be easy to change the rules set by the elders.
But that doesn't mean there's no chance at all, and all he needs to do is trust Yun Fei, believing that her lover is able to change the rules.
"Go back, I'm sure they're worried about you."
"No, I don't want to go back there."
"Why? Isn't that your home?"
"You're right, but at the same time, I also feel like I'm in a very tight prison."
Yun Fei grabbed Huo Ling's hand, then clasped her fingers tightly, "you must be patient, because soon I will free you."
Yun Fei's words managed to make Huo Ling feel a sense of calmness, especially when looking into her eyes that exuded shade, giving her a sense of comfort and making her not want to be away from him.
Unknowingly, their faces had been very close, even so close that their noses touched, yet at the same time, a strange memory suddenly appeared in their minds.
The memory, showing a pair of young people who were in a place they did not know, a place that looked like a very long hallway as if it had no end.
Then, something unexpected befell the two of them, until finally, both of them died in a very long hallway and had no end to it.
"Who are they?" Huo Ling asked as she held her head that felt dizzy.
"They? Did you see them in your memory too?"
Huo Ling could only nod, her head still feeling so dizzy that only a nod could she give in response.
"It's really strange" Yun Fei muttered.
"Fei, my head is so dizzy."
"Close" Yun Fei said.
Huo Ling did not say anything and directly approached Yun Fei, then leaned her head on her lover's shoulder.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep, I'm sure the dizziness will go away when you wake up."

"How did you guys manage to find my daughter?"
The man in black clothes nodded, then explained the information they had obtained from his comrades, which was information regarding Huo Ling's whereabouts.
"Good! Tell your friend to keep an eye on him!"
"Good!"
"The young man really doesn't know himself!"
"Sister, you have to do something, otherwise, he will take Ling'er to a place that not even all of us can reach."
"I agree with second brother, that young man can't be left alone anymore!"
Other than Huo An, no one believed in Yun Fei anymore, because they thought that it was him who had made Huo Ling a dissident.
During this time, Huo Ling was known to be a very kind and obedient child, but since knowing Yun Fei, her attitude had suddenly changed and was not willing to listen to her father anymore.
"Capture the young man and drag him in front of me!" huo Ming said.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that" Huo An said.
Everyone's gaze was now on Huo An, but it was different from before, and it could be said that their gaze was just like the look of hatred.
"Forget it" Huo An replied.
Although he was a clan elder, there was not much Huo An could say, as he realized that he was not needed by them.
Even so, he is still trying to survive his current position, because there is a promise that he must keep and there is no way he can deny, the promise with his late father.
"Wait for what else? Go now and drag the boy in front of me!"
"Good!"
***
Whether exhausted or very comfortable in his lover's arms, Huo Ling fell asleep until the next day and when he woke up, he was greeted by the morning sun.
Not only himself, even Yun Fei also fell asleep until morning, although he fell asleep in a state of sitting and leaning on a tree, but his sleep was very sound.
"Why is it that every time I see your face, I can always feel calm."
Huo Ling smiled gently as she looked at Yun Fei's face, then she brought her face closer and kissed her lover's lips, but her actions made Yun Fei wake up.
Huo Ling flinched and immediately moved away, but Yun Fei held back her hand, "i like the way you woke me up."
"Le-let go, I-I want to wash my face."
"Where?"
"That-that's..." Huo Ling looked confused, he only realized that around them there were no rivers or lakes.
"Come on, I still want to hold you."
"No way!"
"You sure?"
"Very sure!"
"Just so."
Yun Fei then laid his body on the grass, although his sleep was very good, but it could not be denied if his back felt a little pain due to falling asleep in a sitting state.
"Fei."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For everyone, thank you for making my heart feel at ease."
"Don't think about it, you better come here and accompany me."
"It's noon."
"What harm? After all in this forest there is no one other than the two of us" Yun Fei said.
"Huh" Huo Ling let out a long sigh, then turned around and walked over to Yun Fei, but just sat down beside her, "are you not hungry?"
"Not really, what about you?"
"Just the same."
"Alright" Yun Fei stood up, then stretched his stiffened muscles, "i'll hunt and look for edible fruits."
After that, Yun Fei left the place to hunt and search for fruits. While Huo Ling, he remained in that place along with Yin Lang.
"Yin Lang, I feel like I've known you for a long time" Huo Ling said.
"None with me, Miss."
"Eh? You-you can talk?!" said Huo Ling who seemed very surprised, he really did not expect that Yin Lang was a talking spiritual animal.
"Of course you can, Miss" replied Yin Lang.
"Then, why don't you ever talk to Yun Fei?"
"It's not time you knew everything!"
