Chapter 223 Can you pretend to be my hubby?.
AST 223 – Can you pretend to be my hubby?
This caused the Canghai couple to be happy as well as worried, especially Canghai. After eating something so amazing that he had never eaten before and drinking the Tigerbone Yang Amplification Beauty Purification Wine which was loved by both men and women, Canghai was really worried what would happen if Qing Shui were to leave one day.
So what if he thickened his skin and requested more from Qing Shui before he left? The enjoyable stuff would be finished sooner or later. Now, Canghai regretted that he didn’t thicken his skin enough to ask Qing Shui for the recipe of the Tigerbone Yang Amplification Beauty Purification Wine. Now his hopes were all on the shoulders of his daughter.
If Qing Shui really became his son-in-law, not only would his daughter marry a good husband, but also Canghai could enjoy good food every day as well.
Just seeing the way Canghai behaved made one already guess what this 60 year old man was thinking about. Taking gains and loss with equanimity, he had the attitude of a younger guy. He didn’t want his daughter to miss out on such a good catch that could also make him and his wife happy.
“Senior, do you know who is the owner of the Greencloud Furniture City?” After they ate, Qing Shui asked Canghai curiously. Qing Shui thought that there was a high probability for the owner to be from the Immortal Sword Sect, Joyous Sect, or the Imperial Beast Aristocrats.
Canghai wasn’t surprised when he heard Qing Shui’s question. Looking at Qing Shui, he laughed as he replied, “A very powerful person. Qing Shui, you have to know that over in this region, the Immortal Sword Sect, the Joyous Sect, and the Imperial Beasts Aristocrats may appear very powerful, but this is merely on the surface. There are still some very powerful figures that are all alone, and appear extremely ordinary.”
After hearing the words of Canghai, Qing Shui could deduce that Canghai didn’t even place the Immortal Sword Sect and the rest in his eyes. From Canghai’s words, Qing Shui could gather that there were indeed many powerful experts who chose to live an idle life, appearing to be a an ordinary commoner.
“If that’s the case, could Senior alert me to some of these very powerful people? In the future, I would take note and avoid them.” Qing Shui casually inquired as he drank his tea.
Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li both turned their gazes towards Canghai.
“Let me tell you about those that I know of, but if you want an exact number, I don’t think anyone would know. You never know that the inconspicuous fishmonger you might meet down the street might actually be a peerless expert.” Canghai laughed.
“Around this region, the Sword Tower is an extremely powerful and mysterious existence. The Sword Tower has little people yet they are all extremely strong. The reputation of their sword techniques resound far and wide. However, this organization is really mysterious. They would only open once every two years and set up a test for interested people. As long as there are those that could reached the 9th level, they would be able to obtain a precious treasure.” Canghai replied.
“Sword Tower? You mean that Nine Level Bamboo Tower?” Canghai Mingyue asked in surprise.
“Yes, that bamboo tower. However, that bamboo is no ordinary bamboo. Instead, it’s the Purple Heart Bamboo from the Southern Seas, and it’s even stronger than steel.”
“Senior, why does the Sword Tower organise such tests?” Qing Shui didn’t understand. If you were a powerful sect, there shouldn’t be any problems attracting disciples. However, the Sword Tower did have very little people. Not only that, if you won, they would still gift a precious treasure to you. What exactly were they planning?
Canghai shook his head, “I don’t know either. Some things are done without any rhyme or reason.”
“Has Senior tried the test of the Sword Tower before?” QIng Shui felt that this matter was pretty interesting.
“Hehe, yup. I tried it once about fifty years ago.” Canghai laughed.
“What level did Senior reach previously?” Qing Shui curiously inquired. Qing Shui wanted to know how strong the Sword Tower exactly was.
“2nd level.” Canghai replied.
Qing Shui was thunderstruck. 50 years ago. Canghai should, at the very least already, have been at the Xiantian Realm. However, he only reached the 2nd level? How powerful was the Sword Tower exactly?
“Senior, in these fifty years, you didn’t try again?” Qing Shui continued asking. He really wanted to know how far could he go at Canghai’s level.
“I went to try again about three years ago. However, I won’t tell you the results.” Canghai smiled.
“Dad, just tell us. We won’t tell others. I wanna know as well.” Canghai Mingyue hugged one of Canghai’s arms as she pouted.
“Nope, if I said it, you guys will definitely brush it off as a lie. To save all the trouble, I don’t want my daughter to accuse me of lying.” Canghai laughed as he replied to Canghai Mingyue.
“Hmph, daddy is so petty.”
In the afternoon, Qing Shui didn’t go out but chose to stay alone in his room instead. Qing Shui preferred the solitude and quietness. Only during such moments would he be able to sort out his thoughts and think things through.
However, before he could get to enjoy the peace and quiet, the two other ladies already made their way into his room. They wanted to drag him out for breakfast and visit the streets. Over the course of these two months, Qing Shui realised that he had gotten extremely familiar with both Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li.
“Qing Shui, are you planning to challenge the Sword Tower?” Huoyun casually asked after she stepped into the room.
“Why? Are you worried about me?” Qing Shui snickered. Qing Shui realised it had been too long since he last teased Huoyun. He also realised that in the presence of Canghai Mingyue and her family, Huoyun Liu-Li seemed to be holding her charm back.
“Who’s worried about you? Go to hell!” Huoyun Liu-Li adorably rolled her eyes at Qing Shui.
Qing Shui discovered that his willpower now was many times stronger compared to the past. Even when seeing the peerless beauty of Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li, he was able to hold his disposition. If it was the past him, he would have definitely already lost control of himself. However, there was still an impulse to rush over to hug them, or to press himself down on their soft bodies.
No matter what, Qing Shui was someone that had already tasted women before, just like a cat doused with catnip. After knowing the taste of women, Qing Shui kept yearning for that taste again. Speaking of which, it had already been a period of time since he last touched a woman.
“Qing Shui, I actually need your help with something. This is why I came to look for you today.” Canghai Mingyue hummed and hawed, as she stated.
Looking at the behaviour of Canghai Mingyue, Qing Shui was somewhat puzzled. Could she have wanted him to be her doctor? Did she have any illnesses or other medical conditions?
Bewilderedly, Qing Shui stared at Canghai Mingyue. He stared for quite a long time and even activated his Heavenly Vision Technique. However, to his surprise, Canghai Mingyue was in perfect condition and didn’t seem to have any illnesses or medical conditions.
“You seem perfectly fine, or is there some awkward spot like your buttocks or some other place that’s uncomfortable? Tell me, we are friends. I will help you, hehehe. I’m not boasting but my medical skills are pretty good.” Qing Shui teased her, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
“Go and die, you are crazy. You are talking nonsense…” Canghai Mingyue blushed. Previously, she suppressed herself because she was in front of her parents. Now, she could finally give free rein and didn’t need to suppress her words.
Qing Shui didn’t expect that the imposing and majestic presence atop the Golden Winged Thunder Condor would actually have such a girlish side to her. This sense of beauty unexpectedly struck him right in his heart.
Canghai Mingyue inclined her head, as her beautiful black eyes were rimmed with wetness.
