Durin's Diary

Chapter 1014 Suiqiu Ruins

Dulin nodded in agreement with Yara's statement; she was right, and Dulin understood her.

But he was still very sad: "You didn't even want to tell me the truth just so you could go back, did you?"

Yara nodded with her head down, then raised her head and looked at Dulin with a humble gaze.

“I know that at this moment, every offspring is of utmost importance to you, but I really cannot stay in Changtang. I cannot bear to watch my father and my brothers and sisters shed blood and sacrifice themselves for the future of the Great Forest. As a warrior clan of the Great Forest, I deeply understand how dangerous our future may be.”

Yara hesitated for a moment before saying this: "If we lose the evil god, it means that the gods will become our new shackles. And the Nameless One obviously won't stay here for long. He will definitely plan ahead. I think if it were you, sir, you would do the same."

Dulin nodded: "The Nameless One will banish all the gods. He will not try to stop those who are willing to leave, but those who are unwilling to leave will face destruction." At this point, Dulin sighed, reached out and patted Yara's head: "You are very smart, Yara, and I... am willing to believe that you can keep this secret for me. You won't tell those gods, right?"

"Yes, my lord, I will not betray you. I am content to be your beloved concubine in this life. And I will spend the rest of my life guarding that land in the Great Woods. Our child will grow up safely, whether it is a boy or a girl, this child will have all my love..."

At this point, Yara sat up straight, then lowered her head and raised her right hand: "My lord, I heard from my sisters that when that day comes, you will come to receive everyone. Can you take... someone as greedy and despicable as me with you?"

This was the most humble plea a woman of her kind could make. Dulin thought for a moment and then sighed.

She raised her head and looked at Dulin with despair.

Then she saw Dulin nod: "Remember the vow you made to me. It may be a long time, but as long as you remember your vow and fulfill it, I will definitely come and take you away."

"Thank you, Lord Durin. The Sora family will never forget your kindness. I will protect our children well..." At this point, the tigress could no longer hold back her tears: "I could have embraced happiness, so why was I so foolish, Lord Durin..."

“Don’t cry. You’ve already achieved your wish. Raise our child well. If you have any trouble, just ask Anta and the others. I’ll get them to help you.” Dulin said, watching Yara press her face against the back of his hand. “Promise me that if the Sora family falls into ruin, take the child back to Changtang. Anta and the others will bring you back. It’s not safe for you to be alone in the Great Forest with a child.”

“I know, sir, I am truly grateful that you have so graciously granted my unreasonable request.” Yara finished speaking and looked up at Dulin: “Sir.”

"Any other requests?" Dulin smiled curiously—he didn't think there was anything wrong with the little tigress in front of him. In this era, to have such a mindset, Yara was indeed a good girl.

Although her methods weren't exactly ethical, this was a good thing, and Dulin had to admit it.

"I have no other requests, just that you could give me, this lowly person, a kiss." She looked at Dulin with a hint of longing: "I dare not ask for more, I only want to receive a little more of your favor."

“What are you kissing for? We’re an old married couple. Haven’t you always wanted a necklace? I’ll give it to you this time.” Dulin said, taking out a gold ingot. As it began to turn into a liquid sphere, Dulin looked at Yara kneeling in front of him: “But, Yara, have you thought this through? You should understand better than me what wearing it means.”

“I understand, my lord. I have been eagerly anticipating this day, but I never expected that after such a disobedient act, you would still be willing to put a necklace on me. This is like a dream come true…” The tigress before him was filled with joy: “My lord, you never had such thoughts before, why this time…” “Because I have to announce to the world that you are my pet, lest some audacious fellow spoil our mood.” As Dulin smiled, a simple necklace appeared in Dulin’s hand. It was made of gold and had a vine relief on it, looking very plain.

However, if you pay attention, you will find that the proverbs on this thing were engraved by an existence more powerful than the gods.

The necklace also has a chain with six rings around it, which represents Dulin's ego strength—the six rings represent six legendary fruit positions, whether you believe it or not is another matter, but these six rings also have Dulin's motto inscriptions.

A god's favorite concubine would surely deter the ambitions of a daring and reckless man.

As for those who can't be dissuaded, Dulin believes that his Yara and old Duke Sora can handle them too—you see, anyone who can understand the existence of this ring must be a legendary powerhouse. They will cherish their lives immensely. After all, in the Age of Dharma Decline, a divine creation that still has an effect is something that anyone would have to think twice about before making a move against.

To be honest, anyone who can't understand this necklace shouldn't be a match for Yara with one hand—after all, someone who can't even understand something like this can't possibly be a strong person.

With that thought in mind, Dulin put the necklace around Yara's neck.

"Alright, I think it's pretty good." Dulin exclaimed as he pulled out the water mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yara laughed: "My tears just now soaked my hair, Lord Dulin..." "Call me Dulin, okay? As my favored concubine, can't you be a little more arrogant?"

As Dulin spoke, he patted her head, the technique removing some unnecessary imperfections.

Yara finally reached out and hugged Dulin: "I dare not take this for granted. I can't beat any of my sisters."

She sighed and stood up. She stood next to Dulin, lowered her head and said, "Sir, please don't tell anyone about my affairs."

"No, I don't want other girls to be as opinionated as you. After all, having one stubborn and headstrong girl like you among them is enough to give me trouble. Once things are settled in Changtang, I'll take you back."

After saying that, Dulin snapped his fingers: "By the way, have you decided what to name the child?"

“If it’s a boy, we’ll name him Valerius; if it’s a girl, would you like to name her?” Yara asked.

Dulin thought for a moment and said, "Theresa, let's use that name."
