A feeling of in-adequateness rose in Tang Long’s heart. He didn’t want her to be stronger than him, he wanted to protect Li Ling so she wouldn’t cry in the future, not the other way around.
He needed to work harder in the future.
“Good! That’s great Princess Li Ling.”
Tang Long still said happily, and that was his true feelings. Maybe this would motivate him to cultivate harder and increase his cultivation.
Li Ling frowned when she heard Tang Long call her Princess, but she only dash towards him and swung her sword at his head.
Seeing this Tang Long smiled bitterly once again, and quickly went to block her somewhat vicious blow.
Another reason why he couldn’t allow her cultivation to surpass his was because of her personality. Wouldn’t he be bullied by her when they got married? Although Li Ling was just using their betrothment for her own convenience, it didn’t look like she was entirely opposed to the idea.
