Chapter: 822 (1/2)

AST 822 – Towards Flowerfruit Mountain

After half a month, Qing Shui prepared to leave.

The people from the Qing Clan merely made a token attempt at stopping Qing Shui from leaving. They knew that Qing Shui had his own matters to attend to, hence they didn’t excessively urge him to stay. However, he constantly carried his own children around. With both Qing Ming and Qing Yan having learned to call out father and mother. Their baby voices made him reluctant to leave.

This time round, he did not mention a specific time that he would be back as even he was unsure when that would be.

“Lass, let mommy carry you, daddy has things to do.” Shi Qingzhuang smiled as she went over to carry Qing Yan who was in Qing Shui’s arms.

What made Qing Shui happy was that the little lass refused to let go of him, causing Shi Qingzhuang to not know whether to laugh or cry. After a round of coaxing her, Qingzhuang at last managed to carry the little girl over.

This time, only a few of the girls sent Qing Shui off. Canghai Mingyue, Shi Qingzhuang and Mingyue Gelou didn’t. Yiye Jiange, Wenren Wu-shuang and Huoyun Liu-Li stood on the back of the Fire Bird along with Qing Shui.

The place where Qing Shui wanted to go to was Flowerfruit Mountain. He decided to head there to examine the place once again and to conveniently visit the underwater palace at the bottom of the lake to see if he could help awaken the woman in the crystal coffin.

“Qing Shui, let me go with you.” Huoyun Liu-Li looked at Qing Shui.

“Wait for a while longer. Currently, I’m not strong enough to bring you guys. Very soon, as long as you wish to go, I’ll bring you guys along wherever it may be.” Qing Shui smiled as he looked at Huoyun Liu-Li.

“You always lie to us, it’s the same every time.” Huoyun Lou-Li pouted, but she wasn’t angry. She understood that things were not easy for Qing Shui. Furthermore she knew that he was fighting for survival, his own as well as that of the Qing Clan and the Heavenly Palace.

“You must be careful, we’re still counting on you. When you’re back, I’ll agree to anything you want.” Wenren Wushuang grinned as she looked at Qing Shui, her gorgeous face showing a slight blush.

“Wu-shuang can no longer endure it.” Huoyun Liu-Li looked at Wushuang with a teasing look as she revealed a cunning smile.

Yiye Jiange was silent the whole time. Her expression was tranquil to the point that even Qing Shui was unable to grasp any fluctuations in her feelings.

“Hehe, then I’ll need to come back earlier.” Qing Shui licked his lips and smiled at Wenren Wu-shuang.

Wenren Wu-shuang lowered her head, her face turning scarlet.

……

“Alright, head on back. Don’t need to worry about me.” Qing Shui saw that half a day had already passed, and made them rush back to the Qing Clan before dusk.

“Qing Shui, be careful,” Huoyun Liu-Li whispered as she hugged Qing Shui.

“Alright, I know, don’t worry.” Qing Shui replied as he smiled and patted her back.

After that, Qing Shui hugged Wenren Wushuang. However, he didn’t say anything, only hugging her tightly before letting go. After a moment of hesitation, he walked up to Yiye Jiange.

“I’m leaving!”

“Alright, pay attention to your safety.” Yiye Jiange smiled gently, her beautiful eyes were filled with much concerns.

Qing Shui nodded his head and hugged her gently. He could feel both his and Yiye Jiange’s hearts beating really fast at the same time. When he realized her heart was beating fast as well, he calmed down instead.

“We’ve already been husband and wife for such a long time, yet you still feel so nervous,” Qing Shui whispered softly at her ear.

Upon hearing Qing Shui’s words, Yiye Jiange softly embraced Qing Shui and relaxed her entire body. At this moment, Qing Shui felt her body pressing tightly on his.

Qing Shui really meant what he said. After the incident with Di Qing, he recalled that in the past she did not allow him address her as master and she also didn’t object to small intimate moments between them. Why would a girl like her let him take advantage of her to such an extent? Even now, the close contact they had also illustrated a problem.

At the very least, he was currently greatly superior to other men. All along, he was unable to have a clear grasp of how Yiye Jiange felt. But when they both felt nervous at the same time, that proved that the both of them really cared for each other.

……

Qing Shui waved his hand and left on the Fire Bird, leaving only Yiye Jiange, Wenren Wushuang and Huoyun Liu-Li. They watched until the Fire Bird disappeared into the distance.

“Sister Jiange, he is a moron when it comes to the affections between men and women. Are you sure you want things to stay this way? At that time, I was also the one who thickened up my face and……” Huoyun Liu-Li blushed when she was asking Yiye Jiange.

“We’ll let nature take its course. In the past, even though I didn’t make it clear with what I said, he should still be able to understand what I meant,” Yiye Jiange said with a smile.

“But it seemed like he was enlightened today.”

“He is the timid type. He is lustful yet he never dares to confess it. Just like with Sister Jiange, if she doesn’t make it clear to him, I doubt that he would ever confess his feelings. He feels inferior. If it had been in the past, I think he wouldn’t even dare to hug her,” Wenren Wu-shuang continued on with a smile.

”

“That’s true, no wonder Wu-shuang seduced him just now.”

“Liu-Li, if you continue saying that about me, I’m going to slap your bum.” Wenren Wushuang said, embarrassed.
