Chapter: 1384 (1/2)

AST 1384 – Yehuang Guwu’s Motherly Love… Troubles Arise Once Again, The Powerful Che Clan.

Hearing Qing Shui’s words, Yehuang Guwu was stunned as she looked at this exquisite lass in a daze. Even though she was so beautiful, she was unable to speak, ever. Yehuang Guwu felt that the heavens were being too unfair. Even though she was alone without anyone to rely on, why did she still have to be a mute?

It wasn’t that Yehuang Guwu despised her. When she heard what Qing Shui said, what she felt more was pity. She rubbed the lass on the head. When Qing Shui saw Yehuang Guwu’s expression, he knew that as long as the lass’ birth parents didn’t appear, Yehuang Guwu would treat her as her real daughter.

“Although she doesn’t have a Voice Meridian, she is very strong in other aspects. You win some, you lose some. And to be taken by Little Wuwu as your daughter, this is already considered to be a great blessing for her.”

“What ‘my daughter’? In the future, she’ll be your daughter as well. You’re not allowed to not like her,” Yehuang Guwu said angrily.

“Of course. It’s not as if I have never adopted a child before? My eldest child is adopted and is already in her 20s,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

Yehuang Guwu was stunned for a moment before she smiled. Although she was now very close to Qing Shui and knew that he had a number of wives, she didn’t know that he had children who weren’t his own. She didn’t know how many children he had either and only knew that he had children.

“Oh right, how many children do you have now?” Yehuang Guwu got Qing Shui to sit down on one side while getting the lass to be seated between herself and Yuan Su.

“Including this, I have 11,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Alright, give this lass a name!” Yehuang Guwu gave it some thought and said.

“We’ll call her Qing Jun!” Qing Shui thought about it and replied.

Yehuang Guwu smiled, “Alright. This is our daughter. You’ll have to give her some gifts!”

Qing Shui took out a set of things that were the same as what he had given his other children. He squatted down before the lass and placed them before her. There were also small bangles and the Longevity Lock which he helped to put on her.

Qing Jun looked at Qing Shui with big eyes and a happy smile broke out on her exquisite little face.

At her age, there would be some children who might still retain some faint memories but most children wouldn’t be able to remember things that had happened at this age.

Earlier on, Qing Shui told Yehuang Guwu that one would win some and lose some. Although she lost her ability to speak, she was powerful in other aspects. She had a strong aptitude, powerful memory and a great bone structure.

“Qing Shui, can the lass be treated?” Yehuang Guwu looked very happy when she saw Qing Shui bringing out so many things. She was initially afraid that Qing Shui wouldn’t like the lass.

“I don’t have the ability to do that now. She was born without a Voice Meridian and it’d be useless even if you were to use a medicinal pill which can revive the dead. Because she was born without it to begin with.”

Yehuang Guwu was a clever lady and didn’t say more. She already knew the answer. If even Qing Shui couldn’t treat her condition, then no one would be able to. She had the feeling that this lass had been abandoned.

Qing Shui looked at Yehuang Guwu. This lady had been showing too much motherly affection recently… However, he liked to see her kindhearted side. When she was together with the lass, she appeared especially beautiful.

Qing Shui had never expected to have so many children, regardless of whether they were of his blood or otherwise. However, Qing Shui could really treat them all the same. It was like how Luan Luan and Yuchang were treated no differently from Qing Shui’s own children.

…

As time passed, half a month went by. During this period of time, Qing Shui had headed back to the Qing Clan once. Yehuang Guwu had also gone back to the Western Oxhe Continent once. However, both of them only stayed for three days. Yehuang Guwu had missed the lass and returned very quickly while Qing Shui was worried about Yehuang Guwu and Yuan Su.

During this half a month, Yehuang Guwu and Qing Jun were really like mother and child, staying together all the time regardless if they were living, eating or sleeping. It made it hard for Qing Shui even if he wanted to spend a more intimate time with Yehuang Guwu.

Although Qing Jun couldn’t speak, the frequency of the smile on her face had increased. Qing Shui also started to try to communicate with her through sign language and also taught her words.

Qing Shui didn’t know of a lot of signs, but he knew of some basic ones. Qing Shui’s current train of thoughts were something that couldn’t be compared with how he was when he was in his previous life. All the things that he had seen before were all imprinted clearly in his mind. Therefore, Qing Shui could come up with a set of simple signs…

Although the lass didn’t have a Voice Meridian, she could hear. In Qing Shui’s previous life, those who were generally born a mute tended to be deaf as well.

Since she could hear, it was easier to teach her. Sign language was only a tool for communication.

Qing Shui would spend some time with her every day to teach her sign language, learn words, counting…

Every time Yehuang Guwu saw Qing Shui and the lass learning together happily, she felt extremely happy. Although there were no sounds of laughter, she could see that lass’ quiet smile and the lass’ exquisite little face was one that could invoke feelings of pity.

On this day, Qing Shui had only came out from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal for a short while when he heard some commotion outside. He frowned and headed outside.

“Get him out quickly! Our Old Master’s condition can’t be delayed! Otherwise, you people won’t be able to be held responsible for this!”

“I’m sorry, please produce your Guest Card,” a person-in-charge of the Imperial Cuisine Hall said politely.

“Guest Card? What’s that?” the man asked, puzzled.

“The Imperial Cuisine Hall isn’t open to the public. Only those who have a Guest Card can receive treatment.”

“Then quickly give me a Guest Card!” the man said anxiously.

“I’m sorry, the Guest Cards are all given out personally by the Miraculous Physician. I don’t have one either.”
