Chapter 56: "None of that matters while you're by my side"

In a completely magical world full of giant flying creatures, chariots traveling at high speed through the skies. The day was clear and full of white clouds in the sky.

This place was a world called the Ruler World, it was named after every being born into this world was powerful and talented to be a warrior.

This was the tenth world where creatures could be summoned to be partners in the world of humans. The appearance of the inhabitants of the rulers' world was the same as that of the humans, there was no difference in physical form.

The common knowledge was that there were only nine worlds, as it was very rare for a tenth-world to be summoned, and when that happened, a notification must be made. This was the agreement between the two worlds, the agreement between the world of humans and the world of rulers.

Going to a giant city built of stone. The place looked like an old city of the Middle Ages, but with a lot of magic.

In the palace was a garden with a giant magic circle drawn on the floor, a large number of maids and butlers were already waiting for something. The circle shone brightly before anything appeared, it was a carriage.

The door opened and two people appeared, one man and one woman, each wearing suits. If Liu Yang or Liu Xia saw them both, they would recognize it immediately, as they both knew them more than anyone, they were the Liu couple, Liu Yang's parents.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia would be surprised to find that their parents took a trip to the world of rulers. It was necessary to know that it was not anyone who could have this chance, only mages and people with high authority can do it. But after all, what was the couple's background so that they would be the only ones traveling to the rulers' world.

Normally, when a country sent its members for a trip to the world of rulers, a group of at least ten people was needed, but for some reason, one country sent only two members.

An old man wearing a butler suit took a few steps forward and spoke respectfully.

"Otherworldly guests, my name is Sebastian, I am Your Majesty's steward. He's already waiting for you in the royal hall. "The butler introduced himself politely before gesturing for the couple to follow him.

"It is an honor for us to be received this way" The man spoke respectfully.

"Follow me" The butler began to walk toward the palace as he was followed by the two.

The place where the butler led the duo was a large and majestic hall, many antiques and art were scattered around the venue.

At the end of the hall, there were two people seated, a man and a woman, both of them middle-aged but handsome and beautiful, their hair was different from other soldiers, it was blue as the clear sky of the day. In front of them were two rows of soldiers, each of them emanating a powerful pressure.

When the pair arrived at the scene, each of them could feel the pressure from each of the soldiers, but the greatest pressure belonged to the couple at the end of the room.

(Saints !!! The royal couple has the cultivation of a high-level saint !!!) This was the thought of Liu Yang's parents when they seeing the royal couple.

"Your majesty, I have brought the guests from the other world." The butler bowed and reported to the king.

"Thank you for the good work," The king said to the butler before looking at the two otherworldly travelers.

"Travelers of the human world, what brings you here this time?" The king usually asked, when humans appeared, would they make some kind of trade deal with the rulers' world.

An inhabitant of the world of rulers cannot leave their world because they are trapped inside, the only way out was to be invoked by a human in their world and form a contract with him.

But the inhabitants of the human world could enter the world of rulers from a special transport array.

Because the inhabitants of the Ruler World were extremely powerful, no country in the Human World dared to be rude or impolite to them, for they were much stronger. Although they cannot leave their world, no one believed that they cannot leave soon, so it was better to make friends than enmity.

"Your majesty, my name is Liu Ling, and she is my wife, Xing Ning. We would like to have a private conversation with Your Majesty. Is it possible to fulfill this request? "Liu Yang's father asked.

Liu Ling's request made the soldiers and the butler angry. Who was the couple to make such a request? This was the first time the two sides had met.

"I'm curious to know why your country has spent so much money sending only you two to this world, they must have something very important to do." The king made his comment.

"We didn't come to our country, my wife and I used our resources to come here. We just want a little talk alone with Your Majesty. "Liu Ling spoke honestly.

"I see" Everyone in the place was surprised to hear Liu Ling's words. Traveling to the Ruler World was not easy, it was necessary to spend an absurd amount of resources for it. But how had a mere couple done this?

"If your majesty wishes, you can also seal our cultivation," Liu Ling said, as long as he spoke to the king, his goal is complete.

"It will not be necessary. Soldiers, can you go out for a moment? "The king gestured for the soldiers and the butler to leave."

"Yes, Your Majesty" The group left, leaving only the two couples in the room.

After the group left, the king created a barrier to prevent others from hearing their conversation, he understood that Liu Ling would ask for it.

"I appreciate Your Majesty for that."

"I dispense with the compliments. Get to the point. "The king spoke authoritatively, he wanted to know the reason for the couple's visit.

"Your Majesty, we are here to talk about it." Liu Ling pulled out a piece of paper. The king waved his hand and the paper flew at him, the queen was also curious and decided to look at the paper.

The paper was a photo, the photo was of a pale blue jewel that looked like the clear sky of the day, the jewel hangs by a thin silver chain with several strange designs.

But when the king and queen looked at the picture, shock appeared in their eyes before a solemn look appeared on their faces. But at the same time, a little hope.

"I believe Your Majesty knows what this is, right?" Liu Ling spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes. Are you here to blackmail us or something? "The king imagined they were trying to bargain with him.

"Your Majesty, we have no such intention. We will never hurt the owner of this necklace because if it wasn't for her, my son wouldn't be happy. "Liu Ling said emotionally, he would never hurt the owner of the necklace.

"Explain what is happening," The king said authoritatively, he found that his daughter is alive, but does not know what happened to her. The queen was also worried about this situation.

"I think your majesty better watch this." Liu Ling pulled out a small tablet and turns on. The king and queen started watching the video that plays.

In the images we can see two children playing, they were happy and smiling, a boy and a girl. The boy looked ordinary, but the girl was beautiful and elegant, her blue hair caught the eye. They were Liu Yang and Liu Xia.

When the couple saw the little girl, tears started to come from their eyes, they never thought they could see her again, she was their daughter, the daughter who was almost killed, but she mysteriously disappeared. The couple believed that Liu Xia had been summoned by someone, and they were hoping to see her someday.

It was necessary to know that they put a powerful barrier to protect Liu Xia and prevent her from being summoned to the Human World, but this barrier was broken during the ambush she suffered. The royal couple knew that Liu Xia had not died, but was taken by someone, they did not know if she was summoned or not.

After so many years, the couple began to lose hope. But now, hope was rekindled when they saw the images of the little girl laughing while playing with the boy cheerfully.

The video was about Liu Yang and Liu Xia's childhood through adolescence, the things they both did together and the time they spent. Except for the baths and other moments, the rest was recorded by the Liu couple and shown to the royal couple.

One of the things that most touched the royal couple's heart was the fact that when Liu Xia disappeared from the real world and was forced to return to Liu Yang's magical space because his magical energy was over. From that day on, Liu Yang decided never to waste his magical energy and wanted to keep Liu Xia as long as possible in the real world.

Because of this request, Liu Yang's parents put a special seal on both of them, Liu Yang would always send his magical energy to Liu Xia, while she will stay in the world as long as that energy remains.

The seal was like a reservoir, the seal will suck the magical energy of Liu Yang until full. But the negative effect of this was that Liu Yang's cultivation would be suppressed, he accepted it without thinking twice.

That was the main reason why Liu Yang began to train hard to better control his powers to avoid waste. With Liu Yang's efforts every day for her, Liu Xia's heart gradually warmed until she fell completely in love with Liu Yang. The day Liu Yang decided to seal his cultivation for her was the second most important memory for Liu Xia, the first memory was the day she was summoned and the two met.

As Liu Yang grew and get stronger, the seal would strengthen and can absorb more energy to keep Liu Xia longer in the real world if Liu Yang was too far from her.

When Liu Yang no longer has magical energy to keep Liu Xia in the real world, the seal will active and the magic energy of the seal will be expended until Liu Yang recovers.

The royal couple saw that Liu Yang cared about Liu Xia, to the point that he did something extreme like that, many would not do it for their contract mates.

Liu Yang showed with actions that he cared about Liu Xia. The royal couple saw that Liu Yang was bullied by other children because he awakens his powers later and was weaker than the others, and besides that, he had a beautiful girl on his side, which made him the target of many boys to be bullied.

But at no point did he regret sealing his powers to keep Liu Xia in the real world. Liu Xia cried when she saw Liu Yang get hurt and intimidate because he didn't want to leave her side.

That day, when the two of them arrived home, Liu Yang hugged Liu Xia and spoke the words she will never forget: None of that matters while you're by my side.

The video was playing, and the couple was immersed in seeing the images, they could not see their precious daughter grow, but watching her grow in the video was a relief to the weight of their hearts.

What was most surprising about the video was that Liu Xia said she wanted to marry Liu Yang when she grew up, he wanted it too. On their fifteenth birthday, the couple Liu took a marriage certificate and put the name of Liu Yang and Liu Xia on it. But the official stamp of the notary was still missing, when the two turn eighteen, they can officially register the marriage.

The video ended when the couple left to travel to the world of rulers.
