She had already developed heavy eye-bags from shedding tears but Dara made all of that and her wait and grief worth it by speaking to her, as softly and lovingly as he could which helped her recover from her grieving state as quick as possible and as a result, by the end of the day, Aunt Lin had approached him with a kiss; no groping or touching or erotic intents…

It was like she was checking to see if it was truly him from the way he kissed her…

Dara usually kissed her like it was something important or more like his very life depended on it, and whilst that was what every woman or female craves, Aunt Lin was happy to claim that she was the one of the very few enjoying such treatments…

They kissed softly and gently for about an hour before Aunt Lin finally looked at his face and became engrossed in it;

"I still can't believe you're here…" Aunt Lin said as Min Hong pinched her cheeks and asked;

"Does it hurt?"

"Yes it does…"

"So, what do you think!?"

Dara asked with a smile, but Aunt Lin didn't respond, instead she simply rested her head on his chest and added;

"Don't make me look that miserable to everyone else next time, alright?"

"Trust me honey, you can never be miserable… Anyone that finds you asides from me would realize how lucky I am to have you…" Dara soothed as Aunt Lin revealed another cute smile before kissing him;

"Just make sure that before you leave me next time, you leave something living and physical for me to remember you by…"

"Unh?" Dara was stunned not knowing what she was talking about;

"A child would be fine…"

Aunt Li added with a furious blush whilst resting her head on his chest, preventing him from seeing her tomato-red face…

Min Hong on the other hand, understood where she was coming from, but as a reasonable man, he understood the sort of threat having a kid at this point can pose…

Not only would that mean he has to sacrifice his future and settle down with her, which he would love to do if not for his desire for utmost domination, but that would also present an extra platform with which his enemies can fatally hurt him…

Aunt Lin was waiting for his reply and when he was taking too long to reply, her heart broke as she thought he didn't love her just as much as she loved him; but then Dara replied;

"I would be honored to have you as the mother of my kids, but first I have to clear this planet of every threat that might affect their livelihood…"

Dara replied as Aunt Lin's face glazed over with love whilst her hand cupped his cheeks before planting a kiss on his lips;

"Just remember, my body belongs to you, and my life belongs to my kids…"

Aunt Lin reassured him as Dara looked to the roof before sighing, seemingly holding back his tears, as he had just realized just how much Aunt Lin truly loved him…

Thus, he kissed her forehead and replied her;

"I will give you wat your heart desires, but first, I have to clear this planet off its decaying worms!" Dara replied as Aunt Ling began to rub his chest and then added another series of passionate kiss;

"I love you Dara… I will do anything you want me to, even if you tell me to destroy everything you have built…" She promised with eyes glazed with love, whilst Dara simply smiled;

"Don't worry honey, you won't have to do that after all, the tribe is the only protection you will have should I leave, and I am sure Uncle Min and Ji Wang wouldn't  allow you suffer any loss as long as I am here…"

Dara replied whilst Aunt Lin cleaned her wet face and slept on his chest…

[You do know you would still eventually leave this place right?] Long asked after Aunt Lin fell asleep;

[Yeah, I know…]

[And you know she can't follow you wherever you go, right?] Sam added;

[I know guys, but I would still make this one year worth her efforts…] Dara responded as he looked towards the snoozing Aunt Lin in his embrace;

[Alright then… Taking over this planet is as easy as breathing to me, but once you leave, everything else would be extremely dicey and unpredictable…] Long added; 

[She will be fine as long as she has my child in her tummy…] Dara responded;

He had always known that the Dar Lands would be too little a stage for him, and whilst the entire Planet of Jok would be an incredible feat for his young age;

Dara knew that is because he had yet to truly become an expert on the path of cultivation and once that was done, he would need to seek out more challenges, especially now that Loong and Sam are now with him…

Thus, after a while, he kissed Aunt Lin on the forehead and fell asleep whist absorbing the remaining Qi within the last Qi Stone to nourish his soul…

By the time he was done, the dawn of the next day had arrived, and Aunt Lin was woken by all the Elders who had assembled even before any of the tribesmen could wake up…

"I have lost the little cultivation I have and would have to cultivate for at least three days straight to return to my peak…" Dara told them as the Elder's nodded their heads;

"Well, your room of Qi Stones that Elder Smith forged for you have been gathering natural energies for the past six weeks, so you can use that to return to your peak, but we will also give you ten Qi Stones, just in case it isn't enough…"

Ji Wang added with a slight bow as Dara looked to him with a favorable gaze;

"Alright, then, I would have to rely on you all for the next three days then…." Dara added as a feeling of joy and sensitive responsibility surged within the hearts of the Elders…

This is the first time Dara would be utterly reliant on them, not to mention the fact that he said it with his own mouth…

Thus, they all felt like his wellbeing before returning to his peak was the most important tasks  to them;

"Don't worry tribe leader, I will try to fashion the most reliable weapons and amour for you within the next one month…" Elder Smith promised;

"I'll also make sure that the rest of the residences are completed within the next two weeks, so you wouldn't have anything to worry about when you return to your peak." Ji Wang added;

"I'll also make sure that you have enough healing resources before your next dangerous mission." Elder Ting promised as the rest of the Elders nodded in agreement…
