Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 2244 : Only One

"lynn." jin knew the insecurity his dear penguin cultivator might have as he let her bite him more than enough before bringing her right in front of his face. even though he was gone just for a few seconds, the expression on his face somehow brought in more maturity than he had before. if she did not mistake it, there were a few white hairs sprouting in between the sea of black hair.

his eyes felt duller than before but they still glittered upon seeing her which brought her some joy.

"your judgement might be correct. qiu yue had improved leaps and bounds to the point that if i brought her to battle, she would not be a burden," jin said honestly to his partner. "however, her training had not been easy either. she was doing all she could to learn whatever our dear devil fox was willing to teach. and trust me, you would not want to be under him regardless of the situation."

"but..."

"let me finish, my dear girl." jin requested and lynn kept quiet for a while longer.

"what i am trying to say is that she had decided to put in the effort so that she could contribute to my fight. that does not mean you are not doing the same. every time i return home, i get to eat your home cooked food. i used to be grateful that i got to eat something delicious every time i returned home. but ever since i returned from the synthesis world, it never felt the same again." jin remarked.

but the moment he saw lynn when he returned, all he had in his heart was not anticipation. he was merely glad that he was able to see her once more. that was when he realised that he needed her as a part of his pillars to hold and support.

so as clumsy in romance as this conversation had been flowing, it was an affirmation from jin to lynn. he truly missed her and there knew that no matter what multiverse or planes he gone, jin was able to return back to his home world with lynn waiting for him with a plate of her home cooked meal of the day.

"ah. are you saying all this because you miss my cooking?" lynn knew where jin was coming from but she could not stand the mushiness that jin was emitting. it was so unlike him to do so and thus attempted to steer the conversation away in the most awkward way possible.

"miss your cooking? oh yes i do miss your cooking. however, i miss this even more." jin said as he grabbed her by the waist and pull her upwards, causing her to react with screams and giggles but it dramatically changed the mood.

"this bright wide smile of yours waiting for me back home." jin said with a wide smile as well before pulling her close to him as lynn surround her arms around his head. she took a quick whiff of his hair and could still sense a faint smell of his scent despite a year of different shampoo.

at that point, jin embraced her even tighter before slowly putting her down on the ground. and regardless of the crowd around them, the couple finally gave each other a kiss before lynn said the words that he truly wished to hear while wiping his tears away.

"welcome back."
