Chapter: 876 (1/2)
AST 876 – Complex Women, Thoughts, Mu Qing
Only when it was time to eat did the lady appear. Still wearing her golden phoenix gown, a faint smile on her face. Her beauty was noble and elegant, elegant to her core.
Taking a properly roasted leg of meat from the firepit, she took a seat beside Qing Shui, as that was the only empty place left.
There were tables and chairs within the cave, which were Qing Shui’s. He had bought a few in the Southern City Furniture Store and they had been brought into use now. These tables and chairs were precious, very clean without a single speck of dust.
When the lady had just come out and noticed all of these, she was in shock for a while. After that, she proceeded to look towards Qing Shu. Only this man would be able to have such luxurious behavior.
Exactly how big was his spatial storage device. This set of table and chairs took up a lot of space. Although the lady thought about all this, she still sat beside him. Taking small bites at a time, she continued to ponder.
The soup, stewed meat and such not far away emitted an enticing fragrance, which entered straight into the bottom of their hearts. With a whiff, they were already feeling slightly unable to wait and were itching to immediately eat everything.
Everyone else was all wolfing down their food, simply not caring about their image. Only the lady was not hurried or rushed. Although she was eating faster than the previous times, she still was graceful and elegant. It was to the point that it made other people unable to resist looking at her eating, as it was a kind of enjoyment. This was a feast for one’s eyes.
Just like her speech and her appearance made people feel that they haven’t seen or heard her enough. This was a kind of beauty where it was not necessary to possess. When people come across a perfect existence, for example scenery, environment, construction, object or person, they would be a feeling as if they haven’t seen enough and appreciation that comes from the heart.
This was considered appreciation, at least for a while.
When talking about furniture, Qing Shui thought about Di Chen and the Immortal Bed. That bed had always followed along with her and would go wherever she went. It was considered a pretty good thing, it was a pity that he did not get to practice his “workmanship”.
He he could not be bothered to deal with it recently and did not have that thought. Good furniture, cabinets, tables and chairs, curtains, carpets, beds were all incomparably priceless, as the majority of them were made using precious wood, with some of them even having some profound principles within.
Qing Shui decided he could research this in the future and not now.
After eating that oily meat, Qing Shui discovered the lady’s eating posture was still the same without any change. Not like those old people, who did not speak much, hands covered in oil.
So much meat and soup was consumed. A few of the old people went to wash the dishes, as it would be embarrassing to just eat by relying on “seniority”. Furthermore, they did not have the qualification of playing the senior in front of this youth, as the youth was not a Mu Clan member…
After cleaning up everything, everyone decided to rest for the afternoon before heading out the next morning. Qing Shui decided to walk around in the vicinity, familiarizing himself with the environment of the Sky Penetrating Mountains.
The lady watched as Qin Shui’s figure walked out and returned to her tent. She could see that he wanted to get used to the environment here, as he wanted to head deeper in.
Upon leaving, Qing Shui followed the mountain valley. The valley was broad below and got progressively narrower as it got higher, where it finally became a single person pathway.
After walking for a period of time, Qing Shui shook his head and sighed, “Big miss, there’s no need to follow me like that. It’s better to walk together.”
After saying that, Qing Shui turned around.
Behind a large stone, the Mu Clan girl walked out with a slightly embarrassed expression. Looking at Qing Shui, she slowly walked over. She was worried about him and she now wanted him to remain as safe as possible, as after all he was brought along by her and the other family members.
“You’re worried about me meeting with danger?” asked Qing Shui with a smile as he looked at the elegant and absolutely beautiful lady in front of him.
“I know you’re strong and you’re insistent on finding the Sky Penetrating Grass. I still consider myself familiar with this place. Furthermore, you can also see that I’ve a thing that’s slightly strange. Is it alright for me to go together with you?I promise that the Mu Clan will do their best to ensure your safety” asked the lady after thinking
“No!” replied Qing Shu straightforwardly.
Hearing his immediate answer, she was startled; she had never been rejected liek this before.she gawked for a while before smiling. She seemed to have suddenly discovered that she had already subconsciously lost the freedom and principles that she had in the past. She felt that she currently seemed to not be herself.
“Don’t tell me that one more person doesn’t equate to having one more piece of hope? Furthermore I’m more familiar with this place and the Sky Penetrating Mountains than you.” replied the lady softly as she looked at Qing Shui.
“I know you’re doing this for my well being, however you don’t need to take this kind of risk. Relax, if there truly was any trouble the Mu Family won’t blame you,” said Qing Shui as he shook his head.
The lady laughed bitterly for a while. She did not know what mood she was in now, after being ignored by this man again and again. Furthermore she had unexpectedly done such things. This was something that she would absolutely not think about in the past.
She did not know why? Could it be that she was curious? The Mu Family had asked her to take care of him. This wasn’t a reason, therefore the current reason was herself.
She felt conflicted. This was the first time she had met with a man that she did not hate and in addition was very strong, much much stronger than that group of boastful geniuses at the county city…
She definitely had not fallen for him. She was very rational. In addition, she knew that she would have to wed someone in the future, therefore she had to hold her future in her grasp. And this was her trying to give herself a chance.
