Chapter 607: 607

Ever since Shui QianRou came to Heavenly Star Continent, her shock never seemed to have faded . For someone who was used to looking down on people in disdain, with a proud and arrogant att.i.tude, this period of time was nothing less than a nightmare . She had put forth her heart and soul in order to fight for her family, even to the point of forsaking her own personal feelings, but all she received in exchange was the merciless abandonment of her family, even to the point of falling into their despicable traps . This caused her insistence towards her family to finally slacken .

Furthermore, with someone like Yu BingYan as a clear cut example for her, Shui QianRou's stand was even more swayed . Every time when she saw how Yu BingYan would unhesitatingly declare her love for Ling Tian, that smitten expression she had would always cause Shui QianRou to feel envious for her . Both of them were similar women from aristocratic families, and they were even supposed to be opponents for the generational battle, so why was it that Yu BingYan could chase after her own happiness but not herself?

To a woman, was power and influence really that important? The crucial point was still having a partner who could understand her properly to accompany her for the rest of her life . If she could not be together with the one she loved, then even if she climbed to the highest peak of the world, what use was it? Even if she could make the Shui Family into the world's top aristocratic family, where would be the bliss and joy in that?

As such, Shui QianRou was at a loss for what to do now . However, while she was perplexed, Ling Tian had actually instructed the Ling Family to create opportunities for her, slowly step by step fulfilling her aspirations in the Shui Family . This made Shui QianRou feel that the reason why Ling Tian was doing all of this was to allow her to compensate for the Shui Family . This filled her with much bliss, but deep inside her heart, she knew that once the matter in Heavenly Star came to an end, Ling Tian would not stop his ambitions of expansion no matter who was the person persuading him . At that time, she should return to Heavenly Star to obtain her birthright . Only then could she actually help the one she loved .

The constraints of time, in contrast, allowed Shui QianRou to make the final choice to chase after her own happiness . She was no longer ever fearful and nervous, especially towards the last few days of brutal deaths and murder . Ling Tian and Shui QianRou all were severely wounded, which made her feel that life was too precious and short . At any time, a person could just close their eyes forever, and such a frightening realization was a factor that made her choose to walk down her own path .

Shui QianRou did not wish to still keep all the matters in her heart even when she died, without anyone knowing or hearing of it . This was especially in regards to letting Ling Tian know that she was attracted to him . If she did not tell him anything before she died, then that would be a regret she would carry to her grave .

Even if she could only obtain a year or even a day of bliss, that was enough . This was the mentality Shui QianRou had currently .

As such, she revealed all that was inside her heart towards Ling Tian today without the slightest hesitation . Ling Tian's response was considered to be within her expectations, yet not at the same time, because she herself was aware that Ling Tian was not totally callous about her . At least, he thought of her in a positive light . This was also another driving factor giving her the courage to confess her feelings .

While Ling Tian's reply was vague, Shui QianRou already understood what he was trying to imply .

At this point, she wanted to cry, to cry out in blissful happiness .

”In the near future, when the matters here have calmed down, you should also return to Heavenly Wind Continent to start the operations . Just pa.s.sively countering their every move cannot go on forever, as your situation will get worse . If you wish to win, then you need to take the initiative . Only then will you stand the chance of overthrowing them . If those at the sides manage to score some good results during the generational battle, then there will not be any hope left for you to reverse the situation . ” Ling Tian let out an indifferent smile as he walked away, seeming to randomly drop this remark .

Shui QianRou felt her heart sink as a sour feeling filled her nose . Has it finally come to this?

To leave Heavenly Star Continent, to leave this place where she could sleep in peace every night . . . . . to return to that nightmare of a place where deceit and treachery lay abundant, to continue with a life of plotting and scheming? Then . . . . when can this stop? When will we ever meet?! Shui QianRou was filled with melancholy . And a dull throbbing pain could be felt in her heart . She lowered down her head, tightly biting on her cherry lips, while her feet involuntarily drew circles on the floor . But she did not speak .

”You will not feel lonely, because I'll be accompanying you there . ” Ling Tian laughed and continued, ”I've dreamed of seeing the scenery of the Heavenly Wind Continent for a long time already . I'm also pretty interested in the heroic legends behind Mount Vacant Sky . Can you feel at ease now?”

”Really? You're really intending to go over there?” Shui QianRou lifted up her head as undisguised joy shone through her eyes . The joys and sorrows of life come too quickly, one moment she was submerged in h.e.l.l, but the next she was lifted back up to heaven . A brilliant smile was already suffused on her face as she spoke . So long as 'he' remained by her side, where on earth could she go and not feel happy?

”Oh? Why is it that you've started crying? Do you hate me that much, If so, then forget it . Since you don't wish to see me, then I had better not go over there . I don't need to bring disdain upon myself!” Ling Tian pretended to sigh as he turned to walk out .

”Go, you must go!” Shui QianRou pounced over like a fish jumping out of the water, hugging him . It was like an octopus had latched onto him, and she laughed as she shouted out, ”You obviously said that you would go, so you can't go back on your word . You must go, you better go . . . ”

Never in his dreams did he imagine that Shui QianRou would have such an intense reaction, and Ling Tian was struck full on by the waves of fragrance that rushed towards him . A soft and warm body that was filled with countless temptations suddenly clung onto him, with the feeling of satiny soft skin all around him . Shui QianRou's proud twin peaks were pressed tightly on his chest . The thin fabric of her robes did nothing to mask the sensitive senses of Ling Tian, and he could acutely feel two little dots that were the size of beans lightly grazing his chest . . .

This la.s.s actually did not bother wearing any undergarments!

Ling Tian felt as though a ball of fire had been lit up under his heart . Looking at the scene of spring in front of him, carrying an infinite amount of happiness, as well as the satisfied smile on her face causing her cherry-red lips to curve into a crescent, Ling Tian's body blazed up with an evil fire . He could not help but lower his head down, quickly sealing that perfect little mouth with his .

Shui QianRou had previously lost herself in her emotions, and within this short instant she suddenly felt that she had acted too rashly, without a single trace of a graceful bearing . She was afraid that her position in his eyes would be lowered and was just about to come down when her vision went dark, and she realized that her lips had already been claimed by Ling Tian . . .

Her brain short-circuited instantly with a 'boom', leaving a patch of white . Her eyes widened into perfect circles, staring into Ling Tian who was impossibly close to her, revealing an expression of embarra.s.sment as well as helplessness .

Wasn't this what she had always dreamed of? But . . . why was the feeling so strange? Her heart was in a panic, yet she was filled with so much sweetness and bliss . This hug, how could it suddenly feel so safe to her?

Shui QianRou only felt her lips being wrapped in warmth, but shortly after, a lively tongue started to tease the edges of her lips, before suddenly prying open her teeth and burrowing in . . .

An immediate sensation of losing one's soul and melting rose from Shui QianRou's heart . She tentatively opened her mouth, accepting the advances of the man before her . It was only after a long time that she suddenly recovered from her senses, and wanted to open her mouth wide to scream out . But who knew that the moment her mouth opened up wide, her tongue was immediately latched onto by the offensive party . Shui QianRou's body quivered and her brain grew all foggy once again . She could only resign herself to hold on to Ling Tian for dear life, without any power to struggle . Her eyes were trained onto him, curiously yet shyly watching his face .

Shui QianRou only felt as though her body was incredibly weak, without even the strength to hold onto Ling Tian any longer . Just as she was about to drop off, she felt a warmth on her pert behind . It turned out that a pair of blazing hot hands had all of a sudden appeared on her, slightly exerting strength as they supported her . But these pair of hands were extremely perverted, actually taking the chance to slide further in and start to lightly knead at her secret spots . . .

Shui QianRou could only open her eyes wide, yet could not do anything against Ling Tian's frenzied tongue action . She actually could not react to his advances, or it should be said that she had no idea how to react to him . . .

Suddenly, Ling Tian lifted up his head, breaking the kiss as he panted heavily . He looked deeply into her eyes as he reprimanded . ”Focus . ”

His tone was actually so domineering!

This arrogant and domineering tone managed to allow Shui QianRou to cut through the fog in her mind . But instead of registering the dominance, she was panicking in her heart as she rapidly thought, ”He wants me to focus? Focus on what?” Thinking up to this point, she only managed to open her mouth and ask this silly question, ”What . . . . focus?”

”What huh . . . focus on this . ” Ling Tian's tone had become rougher, and he bent his head once again, sealing up her lips with his . . .

Shui QianRou began to feel as though she was short for breath . . . . .

It was only after a long period of time that Ling Tian finally let go of her, cuddling her in his bosom as he gazed at her shyly nestled within, huffing and panting with tightly shut eyes . He lightly smiled, before blowing into her ear, ”How did it feel?”

Shui QianRou was immersed in the feeling of having her soul floating about the nine heavens, and had not returned back to earth . Thus she instinctively responded, ”What feeling?” Moments later, she snapped back into reality, and her face immediately felt as though it was on fire . With a lovable moan, she immediately buried her face into Ling Tian's chest, not daring to look up .

Ling Tian evilly grinned before using a hand to smack down on her b.u.t.tocks before kneading them unceremoniously . Shui QianRou immediately moaned out loud, her body trembling as her eyes grew vacant once more .

Savoring the texture and feel of softness on his hands, Ling Tian strongly resisted the urge to take her right there and then . He deeply breathed in, before putting her down .

It was not that he had no desire to, but rather he could not afford to .

Li Xue, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan were in another room not far from here, and if the three of them got impatient and rushed over, catching them in the act, Ling Tian could have a tough time trying to swallow these three vats of vinegar [1] . . .

Furthermore, this was a critical juncture, and it simply was not the time to fool around . . .

If he wished to consider their happiness, then he needed to think from a long term perspective, Ling Tian comforted himself inwardly . This caused little Ling Tian who was at full mast to slowly sound the retreat as well .

”You have to take good care of yourself these few days . We might have to move off at any moment . As for the construction of the Shui Family Courtyard here at Sky Bearing, you can be a.s.sured, nothing will go wrong . ” Ling Tian lightly tousled her hair as he gently spoke .

Shui QianRou lay on the reclining chair as though she was totally boneless, and could only reply with a soft 'en' . She was unlike Ling Tian, who had a 'daily exercise regime' every day . She was still a lady who had yet to be married, thus even the kiss they had previously was her first kiss! She was still enthralled within that feeling of bliss, to the point that her brain was still a little foggy . Whatever Ling Tian said, she would agree, and it was as though she had no brain cells left to think . Or else, with the intelligence of this great Miss Shui, how could she pose such a stupid question just now?

Looking at Shui QianRou's lazy look as though she was still immersed within her dreams, Ling Tian felt a sense of happiness, and lightly held on to her as he whispered a few more endearing words before he finally left the room .

Looking at Shui QianRou's lazy look as though she was still immersed within her dreams, Ling Tian felt a sense of happiness, and lightly held on to her as he whispered a few more endearing words before he finally left the room .

It was a long time after Ling Tian left that Shui QianRou was finally roused from her messy thoughts . As she gradually recalled the bits and pieces that had happened, her face grew redder and hotter, and finally she moaned out loud, burying her head within the pillow as she pulled the blankets over her, as though trying to enclose herself in her own world . Just what was wrong with her today, this was just too embarra.s.sing . . . .

As Ling Tian walked out of the room, he sighed towards himself . Regarding the matters in Heavenly Wind Continent, he really did not know how to handle it . There was only less than a year left before the Yu and Shui Families' sixty-year generational battle! Ling Tian was weighing his options . Would it be better for him to go over to Heavenly Wind Continent before the battle started, or after? Although, the generational battle had already lost its original meaning!

If he went there before the battle, then relying on the messy situation of the Shui Family currently, he could borrow the strength and influence of the Sky Alliance to further his plans . However, right now the hearts of the Shui Family members were scattered from one another, but their foundations still maintained . If he wished to carry out his plans, then he would have to pay a humongous price to do so, and he wasn't willing!

But if he were to head over after the generational battle, while the Shui Family would suffer from a drop in strength, his opponents would definitely obtain an overwhelming advantage in the generational battles and this would usher in a new age of the Shui Family . At that point, not only would their internal strife be solved, but they would also group together and become like a plate of steel . At that point, it would be hard for Ling Tian to succeed in his plan .

To allow Shui QianRou to rise up was indeed a path of thorns .

Shaking his head, Ling Tian still could not make up his mind in the end and walked with heavy steps towards the secret chamber . This problem could wait until he had purged the poison from Yu BingYan's meridians .

”How are the preparations?” The moment Ling Tian entered, he spoke in a stern voice, giving the three beauties a scare . They did not know why Ling Tian's tone would suddenly become so severe .

How could they know that Ling Tian was doing a preemptive strike in order to hide his 'wrongdoings' earlier?

”There's no problem at all, we can begin at any time . ” Li Xue sized up Ling Tian with a suspicious look . Inside the room, the person who knew Ling Tian best was probably her! She clearly knew that something was up with Ling Tian, but she could not be bothered to expose him .

”Not now,” Ling Tian solemnly replied . ”Since you said that preparations are done, then take a look at this to see if we can use it for the purging of the poison . This is good stuff!” As he spoke, his hand flipped over, and within his palm lay a round and smooth orb much like a goose egg . It had a bouncy texture, and a dim light could actually be seen emitting from within it, causing a clean fragrance to appear in the stone chamber .

”This is an inner pellet? Li Xue's expression grew solemn as well . She was more experienced than Ling Tian regarding such a thing, to the point that she recognized it at the very first glance . This was indeed an inner pellet! She could not help but jump in shock, as she never realized that there were divine beasts in this world capable of congealing an inner pellet .

”This is indeed an inner pellet, it belongs to a scaled armored dragon, with it mainly comprised of Yang energy . ” Ling Tian hefted the pellet and asked, ”Take a look and see if you can use it, as well as how you would go about using it . You're more familiar than me in such matters, and I can only ask for guidance this time!”

”Scaled Armored Dragon!” Li Xue sucked in a cold breath of air, stretching out her hand to receive it and feeling the quality of the pellet . Her face changed immediately as she exclaimed, ”Half of the pellet has already turned into solid form, this shows a cultivation of at least 2000 years . . . This should be a scaled armored dragon on the verge of turning into a true dragon! You . . . with your current strength, how could you even kill such a beast? Don't tell me this was done by you, I won't believe it, not even Justice could do so a thing!”
