Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Hua Xinyi's countenance grew darker and darker. In the end, every sentence spoken by that young man sounded like insults directed towards her and Dong Linwu.
She turned her gaze to Dong Linwu, only to see him glaring at the young man in the air. "You'd best stay out of my affairs."
"I don't have that much free time to waste with you. But since you're a member of our Hundred Refinements Sect, you'd better not throw our face away. You might be shameless enough, but don't you dare spoil the reputation of our sect," Li Yufeng said coldly. As a Sage Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect, he naturally had the qualifications to speak to Dong Linwu in this manner. Dong Linwu's face twisted with resentment at Li Yufeng's warning.
When Hua Xinyi heard those words, her heart sank. So it turned out that this young man was also someone from the Hundred Refinements Sect.
"Linwu, who is he?" Hua Xinyi whispered.
"Li Yufeng." Dong Linwu's voice was ice-cold. Hua Xinyi's countenance changed when she heard that. Since she was Dong Linwu's lover, she naturally knew the name of the Sage Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect.
From afar, several figures sped over to their location. They were none other than the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe. All of them knew that the wife of their Saint Lord was named Mo Qingcheng. And when they saw the words in the air, they instantly knew that their Saint Lord's wife had entered the Sky Connecting Realm.
"We pay our respects to Madam Qin." Those people then bowed low to Mo Qingcheng, indicating their respect for her. A bright smile then appeared on Mo Qingcheng's face; it seemed like she'll be able to meet with Wentian soon.
At this moment, a blurry white shadow jumped right into her arms, snuggling closely against her. Behind the white shadow, Nanfeng Yunxi and the other experts had also appeared. So it turned out that Little Rascal had been together with the beauties of the Southern Phoenix Clan since parting from Qin Wentian.
"Little Rascal!" Mo Qingcheng cuddled Little Rascal as her smile grew even more radiant.
On the other side, Hua Xinyi looked affected by the newcomer's appearance, sensing that they were extraordinary characters. Since they referred to Mo Qingcheng as Madam Qin, that meant that these beautiful maidens had arrived for her sake.
If that was the case, it must mean that the husband whom Mo Qingcheng had mentioned earlier was definitely someone with a remarkable background.
Some of the disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm had also arrived. Other than them, there were some spectators who merely wanted to observe the commotion, and their hearts trembled upon seeing the beautiful Qingcheng. This maiden's relationship with Qin Wentian seemed exceptionally close, but if that were the case, why did Qin Wentian profess his longing for Princess Qing`er through the bell chimes back then?
Just as they pondered over this, an ice-like beautiful maiden approached the group from afar. That maiden stared at Mo Qingcheng; she was none other than Princess Qing`er, the woman Qin Wentian had confessed to.
The two beautiful women stood together and stared at each other, causing the atmosphere to feel somewhat awkward. However, to the spectators, this was a bewitching scene—these two women were both the epitome of the different aspects of beauty, able to stir the souls of all who looked upon them. The scene was further complemented by the prescence of Nanfeng Yunxi, Nanfeng Shengge, Purgatory, and Beiming Nongyue. As for Hua Xinyi, her looks could only be deemed as 'ordinary' by comparison.
Qing`er's beautiful eyes flashed when she saw Mo Qingcheng, as though she'd thought of something. As for Mo Qingcheng, she was startled. Although she long knew of Qing`er's existence, this was the first time they had observed the other so openly.
After a moment of hesitation, Mo Qingcheng lifted her foot and walked towards Qing`er. She had a smile on her face, so beautiful that it could topple empires.
"Elder Sister Qing`er!" Mo Qingcheng called out with a laugh. Her melodious voice seemed to contain the power to melt the hearts of those in their surroundings. Qing`er's beautiful eyes blinked; her calm gaze wavered slightly. However, when she saw the graceful smile on Qingcheng's face, she seemed to gather her courage and stretched her dainty hands out to her.
Mo Qingcheng's smile grew even more radiant. She also reached out to join hands with Qing`er. It seemed so natural, like they had been sisters for many years. Qin Wentian's greatest awkwardness would undoubtedly stem from this meeting upon its occurence. But these two beauties were both extremely intelligent; as they joined hands, they used their understanding and magnanimity to resolve any awkwardness Qin Wentian might have felt before it even began.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng had been acquainted in their youth back in Chu, sweethearts from childhood. Love is more solid than gold—he dragged the demon sword for over ten thousand miles, splitting apart the Pill Emperor Hall, and his actions had moved the people of an entire world. Another maiden had always protected him from the shadows, always appearing in the times of his youth when he needed her most. How many times had she stood before him? Even carrying him away to safety when he was in the form of a great roc? Until one day, when she'd returned to her home, so he'd braved everything to enter the immortal realms in search of her, never giving up no matter the difficulties faced. How could their relationship be so easily defined by mere words?
Both of them knew of the existence of the other. Qin Wentian could not do without either of them. They were both the people whom Qin Wentian loved the most and they understood the sacrifices the other had made, and they respected that. Hence, they willingly chose to hold the other's hands, to form a connection as close as sisters. The radiant beauty Mo Qingcheng and the ice princess Qing`er, daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor— they were determined to let nothing stand in the way of their love for Qin Wentian.
When everyone saw that the two of them were holding hands, even an idiot could understand what was going on. This simple scene had a great impact on all the spectators. They couldn't help but feel a rush of envy for this young man named Qin Wentian.
Although it's said that it's very normal for supreme geniuses to have many beautiful wives after stepping into the immortal king or emperor realm, but the spectators still felt shocked at seeing such beautiful maidens clasping hands without hesitation.
That fellow with the dog-shit luck!
In the direction of the Southern Phoenix Clan, Nanfeng Yunxi's beautiful eyes faltered slightly at seeing their actions.
Hua Xinyi's heart was shaking as well. How could she still fail to understand after seeing such a scene? That young man whom she said wasn't even worthy to carry Dong Linwu's shoes, might be a character who Dong Linwu couldn't even afford to antagonize. Only now did she notice Dong Linwu's unnatural reaction after Qin Wentian's name had been brought up.
"Who is this Qin Wentian?" Hua Xinyi quietly speculated. Previously, she had been so delighted as she face Mo Qingcheng. She didn't even hesitate before shamelessly asking Mo Qingcheng to serve Dong Linwu together with her. However, not even in her wildest dreams did she expect that this beautiful maiden who'd only just entered the academy would end up being someone she couldn't afford to offend.
"What's going on with them?" Qing`er's cold gaze turned to Dong Linwu and Hua Xinyi. Mo Qingcheng glanced at them, a look of disgust in her eyes. At first, she had truly treated Hua Xinyi as a friend, yet after the first sign of contention, Hua Xinyi would actually propose to serve Dong Linwu together? What kind of heavy insult was this? She had even mocked Qin Wentian, saying that he wasn't even worthy of carrying Dong Linwu's shoes.
She hadn't expected that a beautiful maiden like Hua Xinyi would actually be this brazen. Luckily, many people had rushed over after she used the stone pillars to send out a message, causing her to feel more at ease.
"They insulted me and Wentian," Mo Qingcheng replied with disdain.
Qing`er's expression grew even icier. However, she had never been fond of teaching others a lesson. At this moment, an expert from the Battle Saint Tribe stepped out. He addressed Mo Qingcheng, "Madam, how do you wish to deal with them?"
Mo Qingcheng was innately kind by nature, and if this had been an ordinary matter, she would have forgotten about it. However, Hua Xinyi's words were simply too shameless, and she couldn't let the matter pass. She then spoke, "Hua Xinyi, just slap yourself and scram."
This was Mo Qingcheng. If Qin Wentian had heard the words spoken earlier by Hua Xinyi and knew of the disgusting thoughts in her heart, he would definitely make Hua Xinyi pay a heavier price.
"Linwu!" Hua Xinyi turned to look at Dong Linwu. However, when Dong Linwu saw that Mo Qingcheng didn't plan to implicate him, he made no move to interfere. After all, Hua Xinyi was the one that ran her mouth off. Now, in the face of such a scene, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Dong Linwu, why are you not scramming the fuck away yet?" Li Yufeng stared at Dong Linwu. Dong Linwu's expression turned ashen. He shook free of Hua Xinyi's grasp on his arm and said, "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
After that, he instantly turned around and sped away. Hua Xinyi's face had lost all color. He was the supreme genius she had wanted to depend on. For his sake, she hadn't hesitated to fall out with Mo Qingcheng, even being so shameless to the extent where she asked Mo Qingcheng to serve him together with her.
"I'm truly a cheap slut." Hua Xinyi suddenly laughed, slapping herself harshly. When Mo Qingcheng saw her state of madness, she couldn't help but sigh. "You can leave."
Hua Xinyi looked deeply at Mo Qingcheng before her body flickered and she sped away.
At this moment, Mo Qingcheng tilted her head up to face Li Yufeng. "Thank you for your help."
"There's no need to thank me, I didn't do anything," Li Yufeng casually replied, "In addition, if you thank me now, how would you feel in the future when I fight against Qin Wentian?"
With these words, Li Yufeng smiled and departed the area. Beiming Nongyue followed after him; the pair seemed the very picture of an immortal couple.
"Sister Qing`er, thank you." Mo Qingcheng smiled.
Qing`er lightly shook her head. "It's been a number of years since he entered the dimension within the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. Who knows when he'll return? Let me bring you to roam the academy and we can find opportunities to upgrade our strength together."
"Okay, I will listen to Elder Sister." Mo Qingcheng smiled and nodded. When Qing`er heard how Mo Qingcheng had addressed her, a light flashed in her eyes, soon followed by a sweet smile. The two of them walked side by side, attracting an impossibly overwhelming amount of attention.
Qin Wentian was completely unaware of what had just occurred. He was still in front of that mirror-like screen of light practicing his innate techniques. Regardless of the Fiendgod Heavenly Suppression Art or the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay, or even the God's Hand and the Art of Truth, each technique was gradually growing stronger. In fact, his improvement rate for the fusion of Greater Demon techniques was improving by the second, resulting in a steady upgrade to his combat prowess.
However, right now, Qin Wentian wasn't cultivating at all. Instead, he was in the treasured cauldron, staring at the eight consummate Greater Demon innate techniques. During his clash against Lei Ba, the power of the eight Greater Demon techniques that he'd unleashed had been simply immeasurable. The demons had actually showed signs of fusion, forming a brand new type of energy. Right now, he was trying to gain more insights and had increasingly perfected each of the eight techniques before the mirror, hoping to achieve a perfect fusion.
Currently, the eight Greater Demons had manifested in his mind and howled as they merged together as one. A supreme demonic windstorm erupted as a demon god appeared in the world. With a single roar, it shattered mountains and rivers, destroying space, and even devoured time. The fused being possessed divine might and it was no exaggeration to call this fusion technique a supreme ultimate art!
However, Qin Wentian could only unleash the embryonic form of this technique. He had yet to find a way to unleash its full power!
