Ch 32-I love you so much that I could kidnap you

3 years later-

*Poke*

"Wake up"

*Poke*

*Poke*

"Wake up Meliodas"

Hearing the gentle voice calling for him Meliodas's eyes started to flutter open.

Opening his eye he was greeted by the sight of the person he loved the most.

"Ugh morning Jing," said Meliodas with a groan.

*fufu~ you never change huh, you're still bad at waking up"

"I guess I do, but do you have to get up I'm comfortable here with you,"

'I'm happy that i get to wake up like this. sometimes I'm scared that this is all a dream. i know that i might sound stupid or something but I've had those types of dreams that are so good until you realize that it was all fake once you wake up.'

stopping his stupid thoughts he brought Jingliu closer for a snug.

Rolling her eyes at her man's childishness she shook him off and got up from the bed.

Meliodas also got up but not before seeing the show in front of him. Jingliu has gotten comfortable with him over the years so he sleeps naked along with her.

'Hm, I wanna poke' he thought as he looked at her curves.

"EEK!" Letting out a cute scream Jingliu turned around and glared at Meliodas

"Stop poking me I have to get to work!" she grumbled as she started to change into her clothes

"Fine let's get ready," said Meliodas as he also started to get changed.

7 minutes later-Meliodas Pov-

*Sigh* I don't know how to tell her.

lately, I've noticed that my training and sparring with Wukong is becoming less and less effective.

my mastery rate with all my skills hasn't even gone above the 38 percent mark. I had asked my system why and she told me that the urgency of getting stronger in a real fight makes the progress rate go faster.

Meaning that my training has reached its peak and now all I need is actual experience. and learn more control over it subconsciously while fighting.

Now that is an issue because I'm going to have to go outside the Luofu and I'm pretty dam sure that Jinliu isn't going to come with me... but I still have to tell her.

Right now I have just finished making breakfast and I along with Jingliu are eating.

"I'm Leaving," I said as I ripped off the band-aid

"Hm?" said Jingliu in confusion.

"I'm going to leave the Luofu in a few days," I told her

Hearing my words she froze and looked at me with sad eyes.

'Come on don't look at me like that' I hate seeing her sad face.

"But why you have no reason to. Wukong, Dan Feng, me, were all here in the Luofu" she said as she tried convincing me not to go.

"*Sigh* listen I don't want to go either but I want to go and explore a bit before going home...Permanently"

"Permanently?, why can't you come and visit again or even stay here with us and-"

"il explain just give me a sec"

After she went quiet I explained to her my origins, from "accidentally" getting sent to the past through "Unknown means" to my adoptive daughters. I also told her about the Archon War, the Cataclysm, and Khanriah. events that would kill almost every single Adepti that existed.

After she took in the information she closed her eyes as if contemplating the absurdity she had just heard.

"I know it's hard to believe but-"

"No I believe you," she said with a frown

"Really?"

"Yes, especially because of this archon war you talked about"

Hearing this I could only look at her in confusion.

'why would that make her believe me

"Seven heavenly seats opened in celestial by the heavenly principle" she repeated what I had told her. "I've met this heavenly principle you've talked about"

'what! You met that petty woman' I thought to myself.

It might sound rude since I've never met the heavenly principle myself but to curse the whole dam country of Khanriah just because of the mistakes of a few people from there broke the alchemy taboo of creating life, she is extremely petty or perhaps she was just lazy to find the right person but I don't care.

"It was during the time me and the other Founded the Xianzhou Luofu. A woman with white hair descended in front of us out of nowhere and placed the crown on Wukong's head sealing almost all of his power" she said with a scowl

"She said something about Wukong having too much power and being dangerous"

'I see, she probably sealed him instead of killing him because he didn't seem to pose any threat to her and brought peace to the Adepti but she couldn't take any chances for the future' I analyzed inwardly.

And he even has the restriction headband not including the tightening to give him a huge headache but just straight up seals him unlike in the legends back at home

"Good if that's the case then come with me," I said to her.

I already asked the system before if I could bring her and it said that asking as they were within my range, I could bring them all back.

"I'm sorry but I can't.. not until"

without letting her finish her words I chanted "Seal!!"

a sudden bluish glow radiated from on top of us and blue chains came raining down wrapping themselves around Jingliu without giving her a chance to react.

"I'm surprised you didn't see the magic circle I made on the roof. I drew it yesterday just in case you said no"

I haven't been slacking off in the past three years even though my progress with my system skills has been low.

I've managed to translate Adeptal Arts into something I call Aether Arts. which is basically Adeptal Arts in the form of magic circles that are fueled by Aether and not Adeptal Energy.

this magic circle absorbs all her adeptal energy once in contact with the chains so she can't do shit since getting drained of your Adeptal energy also makes you weak physically. But not completely or she would die since Adeptal energy comes from the soul.

"I'm sorry JIngliu, I really am. But I can't go back knowing that you could die during the Archon war or even the Cataclysm if you make it that far" I said with a determined face.

'Sorry Wukong, Dan Feng. Looks like I won't be able to say goodbye' I thought to myself in sadness

'System send me-'

Before I could finish my thoughts JIngliu yelled out loud "MORON!!!, let me finish my words!"

"...Fine but I'm taking you either way," I told her

frowning at my words she told me" Like I was going to say. I'm sorry I can't, at least not until I tie up all loose ends on my side here in the Luofu"

...dam I messed up.

I did hear her say something around at 'at least not' at the end of her words but I reacted quickly at the beginning when she said no.

"hehe my bad but who takes a long pause between words on important occasions like this," I said as I scratched the back of my head nervously

snapping my fingers the blue chains around her returned all her Adeptal energy and let go of her as they disappeared.

*Punch*

*Boom*

Before I could even react Jingliu had speeded in front of me and gave me a devastating uppercut sending my head through the roof.

"Dumbass your sleeping on the couch for the next week!" she said as everything went black and I passed out with my body still dangling from the roof.

--------

"so I'm back here again huh, she probably knocked me out with that uppercut," I said as I was back in the dark void I was in the day I fought Davalin back on Modstat.

"Me-o-as" said a voice near me.

"Meli-as" it said as it kept getting clearer

"Meliodas!" it said as it finally managed to make out its own words.

"Merlin?" I asked as I recognized the voice.

"Yeah it's me, you've been knocked out for a while after you tried to seal Jingliu and uppercut you after," he said

"yeah, I know how are you even here aren't I supposed to be out cold?"

"yes but I managed to form a connection between me and your unconscious mind"

"didn't know you could do that," I said with an impressed tone

"me neither but it worked didn't it" he said with a proud smug tone lacing his words.

"Fo Shizzle" I replied back

"Fo Shizzle?" he said sounding confused

"never mind that, can you wake me up"

"Yes il bring you back in 3,2,1"

Hearing his countdown a sudden bright light enveloped my unmoving body just how it did last time I was knocked out.

As the light dimes down I managed to open my eyes.

"Youre awake," said Jingliu as she looked down on me.

'hm this soft sensation, a lap pillow?'

"Good morning, where am I by the way" I asked as if I hadn't tried to seal her earlier.

"Yuhu keep pretending," she said with a mocking tone. "We're in my office right now, I took you here after my uppercut knocked you out."

Looking around I could see that Jingliu changed her office chair with a Couch so that she could let me rest on her lap.

Even while talking with me, her hand never stops moving as it works on the paperwork she needs to do.

"Sorry"

"For what?" She said as she gave me a glare.

"For trying to seal and kidnap you"

Hearing my words she nodded and gave me a kiss

"Good at least you know," she said with a smile.

"But you're still sleeping on the couch, I'm still mad at you"

"Ugh" I groaned

"*Chuckle* anyways you need to tell Wukong about this first since I can't just say that I'm leaving and never coming back for no reason"

"I was going to do that anyways, plus I'm sure Wukong would be happy and say something around 'fufu~ kids these days, reminds me of my younger days when all the women threw themselves at me' something around that"

Hearing my words Jingliu chuckled.

"So for how long are you going to have your little expedition for" she asked.

"Maybe for one or two years, il also come around and visit every few often in those two years before we go back to my home"

"I see, since your up I think that you should go and talk to the others about this. Your getting in the way of work" Saying those words she raised her hand making me float and threw me out of her office shiting the doors behind me.

"Yup she loves me"

Getting up from the floor I dusted off the dirt I accumulated from getting thrown and headed towards Wukong's place.
