Chapter 600 (2/2)

Qing Shui felt a little bewildered. Di Chen was not like this in the past. Even though they had known each other for some time and had often met up. Even spending time every day together on this three month journey and meeting a Red-Lined Snake along the way…

Qing Shui believed that familiarity breeds fondness. Besides, when they first met, it was in such a dramatic way. The scene of Qing Shui touching Di Chen’s silky bosom within the dream among the sea of flowers had replayed in his head countless times…

This had already been carved into their soul.

Qing Shui could feel that Di Chen was actually very nervous so he just laughed and said, “Well, what should we call each other?”

After asking, Qing Shui realized that he really did not know what to call her. He usually called the women around him by their names, occasionally using the term ‘lass’ for endearment.

“Let’s just use each other’s name. How about that?” Di Chen hesitated for a while before she finally gave such an answer.

“Sister Chen has always been calling me by my name.”

“You should call me by my name too.”

“Di Chen seems so distant..” Qing Shui replied laughingly.

……

“We’re here. We will stay here for a day before going to Jade Sea Country.” Qing Shui said while pointing to the Qianyu Clan’s manor.

After that, his Fire Bird landed some distance away from the manor. Qing Shui then walked toward the manor with Di Chen by his side. The feeling he had coming to the Central Continent this time round was vastly different from the previous visit.

Previously, when he had not even reached Martial Saint level, he could already defeat a Grade One Martial Saint with his full strength. This time around, he could not be compared to what he was before. Perhaps, the only people who could defeat him were within that group.

When they reach the gate, they coincidentally met Qianyu Feifei who was coming out. When she saw Qing Shui, her face instantly showed her surprise, she happily ran over called, “Big brother!”

“Feifei, where are you going?” Qing Shui smiled and asked as the little lass hugged his arm.

“This must be sister-in-law?” Qianyu Feifei glance at Di Chen with her large eyes. Once again, she had asked a question that made Qing Shui feel awkward. Previously, when he came her with Di Qing, she had asked the same question.

“You must be Feifei. Your big brother has mentioned about you before.” Di Chen saw that Qing Shui’s was feeling awkward and that he seemed to be considering something, so she stood forward to reply with a smile.

“Oh! You are really sister-in-law. You are so beautiful. Big brother is so fortunate!”

“That is some way to praise a person..” Qing Shui muttered.

The three of them headed toward the manor. Di Chen was now conversing with Qianyu Feifei, whereas Qing Shui followed at the side unable to join in, so he decided to look around.

They had not walked for long when they met Qianyu He and Qianyu Dingjun coming out with smiling faces. Qing Shui knew that it must be because Qianyu Feifei had informed someone to announce their arrival.

“Qing Shui, you’re here.”

“Uncle Jun, brother He!” Qing Shui greeted with a smile.

“Brother Qing Shui!”

“Let’s talk inside.” Qianyu Dingjun pulled Qing Shui wrist as he said amiably.

Before Qing Shui could introduce Di Chen, Qianyu Feifei had already blurted out that she was Qing Shui’s wife. Qing Shui knew that he could not oppose that.

A short time later, Qianyu Qingqing returned. She greeted him happily when she saw him. After knowing that the beautiful veiled lady was his wife, she also said that Qing Shui was a fortunate man just like Qianyu Feifei had complimented him…

“Uncle Jun, are you familiar with the Duanmu Clan from Zhongyuan Country?” Qing Shui could not help but ask when he thought about the Duanmu Clan. Even Elder Ge from Greencloud Continent was unfamiliar with them.

“Duanmu Clan? Qing Shui did you provoke them?” Qianyu Dingjun said in a manner as if he had lost his voice, his face grim.

“No I did not provoke them, I just wanted to know what was their influence like in Zhongyuan Country?” Qing Shui replied quickly. From Qianyu Dingjun’s expression, he could tell that Duanmu Clan was an extremely large and powerful clan.

“Duanmu Clan is very famous throughout the Central Continent. They can’t be considered the very top, but they are within that circle. The head of the Duanmu clan is a woman. She is also Duanmu Ling’s wife. Duanmu Ling died at a young age, leaving his young child and his wife. Nobody would have thought that such an enigmatic woman would actually be so powerful. She managed to support the entire Duanmu Clan by herself.” Qianyu Dingjun voice was filled with admiration even as he explained.

“How is Madame Duanmu’s character?” Qing Shui asked with great interest.

“She is an amazing woman. She is kind and charitable. She is someone that is very benevolent and sympathetic. She is honest and upright and values loyalty. On the other hand, she can be very cruel to her foes and she never shows mercy to her enemies. All in all, she has a good relationship with people and has a good reputation.”

“Some time back, she was poisoned. Uncle Jun do you know anything about that?” Qing Shui wondered why nobody stepped forward to help her during such a situation. Her daughter had to run to Greencloud Continent, bearing that sort of pain… If she had not met him, she probably would have been met with a tragic fate.

“I know. There were a lot of controversies because of it. That situation between the Duanmu Clan and Dongguo Clan where both families were enemies of each other. The Dongguo Clan poisoned Madame Duanmu using some unscrupulous method. They planned to annihilate the entire Duanmu Clan. Unfortunately for them, they were stopped by Madame Duanmu’s friends. Actually, Duanmu Clan could defend themselves but after Madame Duanmu was poisoned she lost the abilities to use her hands, which led to a split in the clan. Someone wanted to take this chance to control the clan so they colluded with the Dongguo Clan. The poison that Madame Duanmu was poisoned with is called Poison Marsh Kirin. The poison is from Dongguo Silang’s demonic beast. In such a situation where there was trouble outside as well as internal conflicts in the clan, Madame Duanmu could only depend on her friends. But for some reasons, after a bit over a year, she was actually cured. There were alchemists within her group of friends but it was rumored that the person who cured her was actually from another continent. “

“So, what it is like internally at the Dongguo Clan and Duanmu Clan now? Qing Shui knew that Madame Duanmu was fine now and that it was he himself who cured her.

“They got the punishment they deserved. It only took three days.” Qianyu Dingjun seemed somewhat sad and even a little bit emotional.
