Chapter: 661 (1/2)

AST 661 – Madam Duanmu, Assistance

The young man trembled and told him everything, not daring to hold back anything. In the end, the old man’s brows started to furrow. In his fury, he killed the young man with his palm and looked into the distance with glaring eyes and clenched teeth.

“Elder brother!” at this moment, a few elders walked over.

“Let’s talk inside!”

…

When Qing Shui and the three ladies rushed over to the Di Clan, they saw someone. It was a lady Qing Shui who unexpectedly didn’t know how to face.

Madam Duanmu!

Qing Shui had never expected that she would come. They had just met a few days ago, but to Qing Shui, it seemed to have been a very long time ago. Most importantly, Qing Shui had not expected her to come again.

She was having a chat with Di Qing’s mother. A graceful and poised lady would always be the center of attraction. Madam Duanmu’s disposition and charms were unrivaled.

The last time they had said goodbye, it had been very emotional for Qing Shui. Now, Qing Shui could easily tell by using his spiritual sense that her cultivation level had reached the Grade Nine Martial Saint level. Qing Shui realized that his spiritual sense seemed to have become stronger after he had grown stronger.

A strength of 4800 countries!

After sensing Madam Duanmu’s strength, he was astonished. He had not thought that their ‘cultivation’ last time would have made her so much stronger.

After thinking about it, Qing Shui noticed a pattern. Women tended to get the greatest benefits when they go through Duo Cultivation for the first time. Another factor that should be considered was the lady’s potential as well as her cultivation.

The benefits that Qing Shui had received from Madam Duanmu were tremendous. At the same time, she had gained even more out of it. This was how Duo Cultivation was. Qing Shui was amazed by Madam Duanmu’s strong physique as it was comparable to a lady like Canghai Mingyue, who had appeared on a Portrait of Beauty.

After seeing Qing Shui, Madam Duanmu’s expression turned a little unnatural and her gaze became a bit flighty. However, Qing Shui and the three ladies walked up to them very quickly.

“Aunt Ruyan, you’ve come.” Di Chen said happily.

Both Di Qing and Yuan Su also greeted Madam Duanmu happily. After all, they knew how strong she was. A strong expert joining them at this juncture made them very happy.

“Madam, you’ve come!”

In fact, Qing Shui was not very calm either but he still greeted her with smiles.

“Mmm, you guys have come back.” Madam Duanmu calmed down and smiled at Qing Shui and the others.

The three ladies left after giving their greetings. Qing Shui and Madam Duanmu were friends, and amongst those present, he was the closest to her. Therefore, the job of receiving Madam Duanmu naturally fell onto Qing Shui. Moreover, Qing Shui couldn’t be considered an outsider in the Di Clan. Not only was he the husband of the Di Clan’s Young Miss, he would also play the most important role in the upcoming ‘Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death’. Everyone’s lives were placed in his hands.

“Have you been well?”

Qing Shui asked casually but after saying this, he could feel that it was impossible for them to go back to how they were before. Now, there was a strange feeling between the two of them.

This strange feeling between them could as easily send someone down a wrong path as much as a right path. It could even cause a barrier to be formed between people, turning them into complete strangers.

Madam Duanmu smiled and nodded, “Mmm, have you been well too?”

“Mmm, I’ve been well! Why have you come here today?” Qing Shui knew that Madam Duanmu was also trying hard to make it seem as if they were the same as before. He did not dare to meet her gaze too much either.

Qing Shui knew that he was selfish. After that incident with Yu Ruyan, there were things that couldn’t be forgotten so easily. But so what if he couldn’t forget them? No matter if he could or could not, it would just be adding on to his troubles.

Hearing Qing Shui’s words, Madam Duanmu was stunned for a slight moment before she quickly recovered. “How can I not come when this has happened? If something were to happen to you, how am I going to answer your family members?”

Madam Duanmu smiled and said although she was feeling a little messed up.She did not even know why, but after the previous time, she had thought of keeping away from Qing Shui from and not meet him anymore.

However, she also thought that it was unfair to Qing Shui. What had happened previously was not his fault. After one had attained Xiantian, one would be able to have a very long life. It was very normal to come across things that one had no control over. Therefore, Madam Duanmu decided not to try and not think too much about it. However, it was still very hard to do so, to the extent that she didn’t know how to not think about it.

“I didn’t mean it that way. I feel bad to keep troubling you.” Qing Shui knew that his words earlier were not really suitable and he quickly apologized.

“Earlier, I had a chat with Mister and Madam Di. You’re the one planning out for the ‘Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death; with three people participating, including yourself. Qing Shui, can you include me as well?” Madam Duanmu asked.
