Chapter: 940 (1/2)

AST 940 – Trifling Issues, Chi Ao and Chi Feng, Hidden Reason

The old village head looked at the surroundings and said, “Everyone go back and have your meals first. Gather here earlier in the afternoon and let the Mister give you some guidance.”

“Mister, what do you think?” the old man smiled and looked at Qing Shui.

“I’ll leave that up to you. I’ll be staying here for a day.” Qing Shui looked around and smiled.

Cheers broke out and the group was dispersed. Everyone knew that Qing Shui had something to discuss with the village’s head, so they all smiled and left.

Qing Shui looked at the old village head and then he looked at the siblings and was taken aback. As expected devil reincarnations… their potential and talent did not lose out to Luan Luan in the slightest.

He wondered who their parents were, to be able to give birth to these kids.

There were rumors that their parents had died. It was said that after their birth, their family members had died one after another. Qing Shui didn’t dismiss this rumor, but there was one thing he couldn’t agree with. It was said that reincarnations of the devil tended to bring great negative influences to the people around them, causing them to die one by one. It wasn’t to the extent that all of their family would die from the moment they were born. Their pernicious aura wasn’t as strong at their birth and the pernicious aura was only especially strong and malicious toward the person’s kin. Those who weren’t blood-related would be unaffected. This was a pernicious aura that came from one’s blood and bones and would be extremely detrimental to individuals from the same bloodline.

If the siblings had been taken in by the old village head since they were young, then there were two possibilities. The first one was that their parents were left with no choice but to abandon them. The second possibility was that their parents were aware that the siblings were the reincarnations of the devil and had heartlessly thrown them away in fear of encountering a great disaster.

Qing Shui guessed that their parents were still around somewhere. It was impossible for people from ordinary families to have such physiques. As such, Qing Shui felt that the clan which had abandoned them must be very powerful—they might not be from the five continents.

Qing Shui looked at the siblings in astonishment. In the past year, they had experienced a tremendous change. Even their heights and appearances had changed. People with such physiques were all elites.

In just one year, the two of them had already reached Xiantian. Additionally, Qing Shui knew that their progress would be even faster from now on. Their progress speed was like Luan Luan’s. After reaching Xiantian, they would advance very quickly and would rarely come across bottlenecks. Even if they met bottlenecks, they would be able to break through them very quickly. They were born with their lifespans ripped off from them and their short lifespans wouldn’t increase even when their cultivation did.

However, God was fair. When it took away some things, it would make it up with something else.

Chi Ao and Chi Feng were still young, but it would be the prime chance to raise their cultivation from now onwards. Within ten years or so, they would be able to reach a considerable height. However, they would also face the problem of their short lifespan in that time. Their lifespans were destined to be similar to a person who had a Heart of Seven Orifices. It was destined to be tough for them to live past 40 years old.

The last time he was here, Qing Shui had left them a few things. He left them each a Wondrous Fruit and a Physique-Enhancing Fruit. These fruits could slightly increase their potential and lifespan. He had made a ten-year promise with them and he wouldn’t break it. He would lend them a helping hand when the time comes—as long as he had the ability to do so.

“Uncle!” Chi Feng was very happy to see Qing Shui.

Although this lass looked very shy, she was very intelligent. However, individuals with a powerful spiritual sense would be able to sense the powerful pernicious aura she had.

Qing Shui could sense that their pernicious aura was stronger than before and fell into contemplation. As they grew stronger, their pernicious aura would become stronger and it could have negative effects on the people around them.

“Mmm, Lass Feng has grown taller.” Qing Shui smiled. He really wanted to treat this pair of siblings well.

It was rare to encounter people with these physiques even in a hundred years. He didn’t wish to see them die after only living for 40 years.

He also wanted to see what level their physiques and Luan Luan’s Heart of Seven Orifices could reach. He could help them along the way. After all, it would be hard for them to rely on themselves alone.

“Uncle, we feel that our aura has grown increasingly stronger. The people around us can’t get used to it. Why is it that grandfather and Uncle don’t have such aura?” Chi Feng gave it some thought before asking Qing Shui.

“Tomorrow, Uncle will give you something. It can block off some of your aura. Don’t think about it too much. This aura can hasten your cultivation speed,” Qing Shui said as they walked.

“Thank you Uncle!” Chi Feng said happily.

Compared to Chi Ao, Chi Feng was slightly more outspoken.

“No need to stand on ceremony. If you have anything you want or anything you need help with, just let me know.” Qing Shui’s tone was very soft, but it felt very sincere.

“Uncle, your wife is so pretty!” Chi Feng smiled and looked at Yu He.

“She is very pretty, but she’s not my wife.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“In the future, she will be. It’s just a matter of time.” Chi Feng blinked. Her eyes had a slight cold gleam. She now looked very cute, but she’ll probably change slowly in the future…

After saying that, Chi Feng secretly smiled and looked at Yu He. Although she was young, she was very intelligent. She only said what she said because she could tell that Yu He wasn’t against it.

Qing Shui didn’t say anything, but Chi Feng got called over by the old village head. Experienced in worldly matters, he could naturally tell that there was something between Qing Shui and Yu He. This was why he only got his granddaughter to stop, but didn’t say anything else.
