Chapter: 1157 (1/2)

AST 1157 – Four Kings Street, Extremely Positive Person, Plagued With Relationship Issues

Adding one more seat made it seem a little squished but everyone shifted backward a little and it was just nice. Yan Yangzhao picked up a cup and took a sip.

“Brother, this wine is the best that I’ve ever drunk. Tsk tsk, in terms of age, it might not be the longest but the wine itself is superb. It should bring great benefits to cultivators of all levels,” Yan Yangzhao said and took another sip. Such wines were extremely hard to come by.

“Look! It’s the young master from Yan Clan!”

“That’s right, Miss Yan just came by a few days ago!”

“Did you guys see how respectful Young Master Yan was toward that lady? Who is she?”

“He had addressed her as Fairy Tantai earlier. Only the people from the Sacred Land can be referred to as fairies. And they must be of quite a reputable standing. The only Sacred Land in Yan City should be Southern Sea’s Putuo Mountain!”

…

Qing Shui kept quiet. He hadn’t thought of making use of someone else’s reputation since it would be meaningless to him. However, he didn’t mind coming into contact with some people, like Yan Clan for example.

It was because even if he were to get stronger, he would still need a platform. This wasn’t something which Yan Clan could give him, but he would still need their help. Moreover, he had quite a good impression of Yan Yangzhao and it wasn’t a bad idea to make friends with him either.

Very quickly, the vat of Plum Blossom Wine was finished up by the four of them. They all felt as if they wished they could have more. However, even if Qing Shui were to bring out another vat, they wouldn’t drink anymore. It was because it would be a waste of such great wine for it to be just chugged down like that.

“I spent the whole night forging yesterday and connected the sword for you. You can take a look and see if you’re satisfied.” Qing Shui smiled, took out the Cloud Eruption Healing Sword and passed it to Yan Yangzhao.

When everyone saw the sword, they were all stunned by the aura on it. Qing Shui knew that they must have been affected by that warm spiritual Qi. This was the aura which could provide healing qualities.

Yan Yangzhao picked up the Cloud Eruption Healing Sword, channeled in his Qi and then looked at Qing Shui in surprise. “Brother, you really managed to fix it for me. I’ve brought this sword to many blacksmiths but none of them could do anything about it. My younger sister really has good judgment. I’m very satisfied with this sword. Although it can’t give me an additional life daily, it can give me another half a life.”

“I was just lucky. It’s good that you’re satisfied with it!” Qing Shui smiled and said before describing the capability of the sword. This was something which all powerful blacksmiths could do.

Tantai Xuan cast Qing Shui a strange look. She had been looking at Qing Shui ever since the mention of Miss Yan. Even her Master thought well of this guy. He seemed to know a lot of stuff and was highly skilled. She already knew that his cultivation level was high. The wine he made was the best she had ever drank; the meals he cooked could cause imperial chefs to die of shame; and it seemed that his forging ability was even better than those powerful blacksmiths.

“Brother, since you have the company of beauties today, then I shan’t disturb you. I’ll come to express my thanks to you again tomorrow,” Yan Yangzhao stood up and said, smiling.

“Brother, this is nothing much. If we’re brothers, then don’t be making a big deal out of it,” Qing Shui spoke calmly.

“Then… alright, I shan’t stand on ceremony then,” Yan Yangzhao said, waving his hand to bid goodbye to the two ladies and left.

“Qing Shui, are you busy here? If not, accompany us to go shopping. It’s rare that you can get a breather,” Yu Ruyan smiled and said.

“What’s there to be busy about? No matter how busy, I’d still have to accompany my wife,” Qing Shui chuckled.

Tantai Xuan smiled, speechless. She didn’t want to say anything now since she wouldn’t be able to get anything good out of it and might even end up getting teased by this guy.

She was a great beauty but was neglected time and time again. She didn’t care about this but still felt a little uncomfortable. This was an instinctive problem people tended to have.

The three of them headed out and they informed old man Wang on their way. The Divine Weapon Street was just right outside. The Firecloud Blacksmith Store was located in quite a decent location along the Divine Weapon Street but was just a little small. However, Qing Shui felt that the size of the shop didn’t really matter to him.

“Where shall we go? The Divine Weapon Street is filled with blacksmith stores and there’s nothing much to look at.” After they stepped out of the store, Qing Shui asked the two ladies.

“Let’s go to the Four Kings Street!” Tantai Xuan suggested.

“You’re the host, you call the shots. Just the name sounds quite special,” Qing Shui looked at Tantai Xuan and said.

“The Four Kings Street is quite a distance away from here. It’s better if you can bring us there. It’s about 10,000 Li to the north. The reason the street is called this name is because there are four great clans there who are considered to be powerful existences in the outer cities. Moreover, the four clans have political marriages and are on very good terms. They are considered to be the ones dominating the region.”

“Oh? Are there fun things in Four Kings Street? Could it be that your…” Qing Shui said with a teasing gaze.

“What are you talking about? The Four Kings Street is well-known for the wishing stone they have there. It’s said that if one were to make a wish there, the chances of having your wish fulfilled would be very high,” Tantai Xuan said, with slight annoyance.

Qing Shui didn’t expect that a lady like Tantai Xuan would like such things as well. He thought that only little girls would be interested in things like making wishes.

The three of them rose into mid-air and Qing Shui once again took Tantai Xuan’s soft hands. Of course, he did the same for Yu Ruyan. The warmth from the two hands caused him to feel a little light-headed.

Yu Ruyan was his woman and holding her hand gave Qing Shui a warm feeling. It was just that Tantai Xuan’s hand kept on trembling slightly and he even felt that she seemed to have a slight urge of wanting to pull back her hand.

She felt helpless about this too. This was the second time. Before they came to the four continents, this guy had already hugged her before. The more she thought about it, the stranger it felt. Toward this man who had helped her before, this man who had a persevering character, she didn’t know how she felt about him. She didn’t dislike him but neither did she like him either.
