“Elder sis, give me some time, and I will definitely marry you.” Qing Shui rubbed his nose, as he put on a dependable atmosphere.
“When did I agree to marry you!” Yu He protested in a coquettish tantrum.
Following her protest, Yu He solemnly added, “Cultivate hard. Don’t just indulge in flights of fancy. Elder sister no longer wants to find a man, and has no intentions to marry. In the future, when you have some accomplishments and capabilities, there will be plenty of good women waiting for you. At that point, in your eyes, I will just be a nothing.”
Yu He’s gaze drifted outside the window, looking far off into the horizon. That lonely and helpless back view of hers caused Qing Shui to feel as if a needle had been stabbed right into his heart. But what could he do? With his meager strength, he had no rights to speak of protecting her at all.
Power, everything had to do with power. It’s fine even if Yu He doesn’t love him, but as long as he has sufficient power, then he would be able do something that would make her happier.
Qing Shui knew that everything he had said just now were just lies. Without power, anyone could promise anything. Moreover, to let such a mature woman like Yu He to fall in love with him now, even Qing Shui couldn’t believe it. Maybe she felt that he wasn’t strong enough, wasn’t mature enough, or was undependable. It’s very tough to fall in love with a man lacking in so many qualities.
There was no hatred without reason, and there certainly wouldn’t be love without reason. The majority of women in this era loved powerful men, which was just following the logic in his previous world where the majority of women who loved men with riches.
Although that last sentence by Yu He, almost caused Qing Shui to eat Yu He, right here and now.
“In the future, if I were to sneakily fall in love with a man, I would choose you. After all your skin is as smooth as jade, even causing women to feel jealous. Also, your looks are pretty good too, and more over, we are still familiar with each other. It’s just that your kissing skills are still too …….”
Qing Shui was extremely speechless, after all that was his first kiss. How could he be good at something he had never practiced before.
Qing Shui left, he wasn’t one who would coax and weedle the other party to get what he wanted, and in any case, he had to admit that the body of Yu He was something that was very appealing to him. Although his feelings for Yu He had not reached the realm of love, but at the very least, he knew that his liking for Yu He, had reached a very high level.
Love was build on the basis of liking something, if there wasn’t even any liking at the start, how could there be love? Even if one were to turn hatred into love, during that span of time there would still have to be a period of liking first!
It was already noon when he arrived back at the Qing Clan medical store. Seeing the knowing look in Qing Yi’s eyes caused Qing Shui to laugh embarrassedly.
“Our Qing Shui has grown up!” After which Qing Yi gently let out a breath, “However, there are some women that are better left untouched. Although they might be pretty, their inner-selves might really be like poisonous spiders and scorpions. You are still young, and your heart wavers easily, so do not let beauty fool your eyes. “ Qing Yi pulled Qing Shui’s hands as she calmly explained.
Qing Shui knew clearly what Qing Yi meant, she was worried that he would lose himself in the process of getting obsessed with beauty, and was worried for him. If his weakness was lust, he would be easily controlled by any beautiful scheming woman, and would end up with scars in his heart, or worse, enter into a rampage, turning into a shadow of his former self.
“Mother, don’t worry, your son is an intelligent man!” Qing Shui displayed a re-assuring smile.
“Qing Shui, how much do you understand about Yu He? Mother is not trying to interfere in your affairs. If you have the capabilities, no matter who you like, no one would dare to say that she’s a bad woman who brings ill-fate to her husband? As long as you love her, and she’s sincere towards you, mother would definitely support you. I just hope that you wouldn’t be burdened by beautiful women even before you are fully grown up.” Qing Yi reminded warmly.
Looking at Qing Yi, Qing Shui could only sigh. She had placed all her hope into the body of her son – him. Since his childhood, Qing Shui had no father, and he would never acknowledge that man as his father. No matter how helpless he was, he still indirectly caused Yu He to suffer immensely and undergo so much pressure.
In the afternoon, Qing Shui went to the Night Fragrance Court and practiced his swordplay with Wenren Wu-Shuang. His skill with the sword had sharpened during all the sparring sessions he had with Wenren Wu-Shuang. Even if her sword skills were unable to match him, she was after all a Xiantian Cultivator. Qing Shui understood the essence of the “piercing” stance of the sword. The essence was simply the word “pierce”. As long as he could concentrate all of his power onto a single point, then he could magnify the strength by a few times, maybe even over 10 times!
