Chapter: 1267 (1/2)

AST 1267 – My Calm Mental State Has Been Completely Destroyed By You

Qing Shui and Di Chen unknowingly stayed at the Diwu Clan till it turned dark. Diwu Zhisha tried to make them to stay, but he still wanted to go back to the Heaven Secrets Academy before the new year. Therefore, he didn’t wish to waste even one day worth of the Nine Continents Steps.

Seeing that Qing Shui was so insistent, Diwu Zhisha stopped persisting and told them to be careful on their way.

After he bid them goodbye, Qing Shui used the Nine Continents Steps directly, proceeding forth 20 times in a row while he carried Di Chen. Although Di Chen didn’t know how far they had travelled each time, she knew that it was very far. She looked at Qing Shui in astonishment.

“In the future, I’ll bring you around with the Nine Continents Steps. There are places which we can go directly. We can stay a little longer at beautiful places, but there are also places which we should just skipped through.” The upgrade of the Nine Continents Steps this time around was beyond estimation.

After he used the Nine Continents Steps 20 times consecutively, Qing Shui called out his Fire Bird. The color of the black bird, which was the same as a black jade, gave off a different kind of astonishing beauty. When Di Chen saw the Fire Bird, she was clearly taken aback. “You’ve gotten another Luan-typed demonic beast?”

“This is that Fire Bird. I hadn’t expected that he would become like this either. Why not let it be a match for your Blue Luan?” Qing Shui took Di Chen’s hand and jumped up.

“Be serious. Stop with your smooth-talk.” Di Chen had already gotten used to this man’s teasing, and he was the only one who would dare to tease her like this. However, she liked this. There were people who tried hard to appear in their best before her but then take any possible chance to stare at her. It was fine if she didn’t notice but if she did, it would feel very distasteful.

“Is my tongue really that smooth?” Qing Shui smiled and put his face close.

Di Chen blushed. She had no way to deal with Qing Shui. This man knew his limits well and the best way to deal with him is to change the topic.

“Where should I go after leaving the Lotus Sect?”

“If you were to leave the Lotus Sect, I’d like for you to go to the Heaven Secrets Academy. In the future, the control over the Heaven Secrets Academy would be in you guys’ hands.” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

People from his previous life would say that women must have their own career and can’t be overly reliant on men. All intelligent women would know this. It was because if they were to become too reliant on men, they would just be like decorative vases. However, their lifespan as decorative vases won’t be long and their attractiveness would drop as the time passed. Although Qing Shui wasn’t fully agreeable to such thinking, he felt that it did make sense. And earlier, from what Di Chen had said, it was clear that she didn’t want to just be a decorative vase.

“You guys?” Di Chen looked at Qing Shui, puzzled.

“Great Yu Dynasty’s Eldest Princess is also at the Heaven Secrets Academy. I had initially planned on letting her gain control of the Heaven Secrets Academy. It’ll be even better if you can do the job since I’ll feel even more confident then.” Qing Shui said quickly. He hadn’t told Di Chen about the matter with the Eldest Princess previously. It wasn’t because he was trying to hide anything, since there were no way he could keep things hidden.

“Oh? Seems like this is another soul mate of our Young Master Qing.” Di Chen smiled and said.

“Nothing has happened between us yet.” Qing Shui said as he appeared to be a little guilty.

“You pick other things up really fast, but it’s a pity that you still don’t know how to lie.” Di Chen said happily.

“There’s still nothing that has happened between us. Aren’t you angry?” Qing Shui said, a little awkward.

“I am. From the very start when I met you, I knew that you won’t have just one woman. What’s the difference with a few more?” Di Chen said, relaxed.

Qing Shui never knew Di Chen’s real thoughts and he hugged her gently. “Having you is already a great blessing for me, but I’m just a b*stard. All of you are very outstanding and I can’t bear to let go of any of you.”

“Are you a fool? Who’s asking you to let go? If you’re one who likes new and discards the old, and is an unfeeling person, who would be willing to stay with you? This is life, you don’t have to feel this way. I’m very happy now too.” Di Chen touched Qing Shui’s face. Her beautiful face that could cause the downfall of countries and cities now was full of tenderness and love.

“I’ve once had a dream of another world. In that world, every man can only be married to one woman. They’re not allowed to have two wives. If one wished to have two women, he must do it secretly and only one of the woman could be given an official status. I’d dreamt that I had a very bad life there, not having a single woman with me, and no one likes me…”

Qing Shui looked at Di Chen and slowly said some stuff. He won’t tell anyone his own secret. This secret could only be left to rot in his body.

As long as humans can’t enter the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui would also keep it a secret forever. He didn’t know if it was possible for people to stay in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, but he felt that the chances of it being possible wouldn’t be high. However, it wouldn’t be totally impossible.

In the world of cultivators, when one reached the realm of False Gods, the person would be like a god who was on earth. Those people should have many treasured items with them. However, Qing Shui still felt that there weren’t many which could compare to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

“That’s your dreams. Dreams are the direct opposite to reality. It seems like you’re very scared of losing us. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a dream like this.”

“You’re my baby. In this life, the next life, and the life after, you’ll still be mine.” Qing Shui said with dominance.

“Greedy guy.” Di Chen smiled in reply.

“Oh, right, why didn’t you let Sister Ruyan go to the Heaven Secrets Academy?” Di Chen knew that Yu Ruyan had come.

“She’s at Putuo Mountain.”

“Since you have a soulmate in the Heaven Secrets Academy, wouldn’t it be better for her to be in the Heaven Secrets Academy?” Di Chen looked at Qing Shui and asked.

“Ruyan and a member of the Putuo Mountain are close as sisters and thus she had chosen to stay at Putuo Mountain. Moreover at that time, I hadn’t gone to the Heaven Secrets Academy yet.” Qing Shui felt a little guilty as well when he mentioned the Putuo Mountain, but it was still fine since there was really nothing between him and Tantai Xuan.

Unknowingly, it had already turned dark.

“Let’s go down to have a rest and continue the journey early tomorrow morning.”
