AST 1475 - Yehuang Guwu’s Pregnancy, Yan Lang (2/2)

“What ability?” Tantai Lingyan was also curious. After all, it’s very rare to find an ability which Qing Shui would say was powerful.

“An increase of one-fold to my defence.”

If it was someone else, increasing one-fold in defence might not count for anything. However, Qing Shui was different. The Ancient Strengthening Technique itself was a god-grade cultivation art. His Nine Yang Golden Body, Paragon Golden Armor, boosted by this powerful ability granted by ‘Foolish Loyalty’, made him become a nigh-indestructible existence. A human-shaped super shield beast and Dragon Slaying Beast all in one.

Tantai Lingyan knew very well how monstrous Qing Shui’s defence was, but even she was shocked by his present strength. After which, she smiled and stared at Qing Shui, “This is truly a good news indeed.”

This is the first time Qing Shui really saw her smile. Although it was just for a short moment, it felt like the spring wind. It also had a strong infectiousness and soon after, he unconsciously also smiled. This was something like an uncontrollable impetus.

“You are so beautiful when you smile.” After a long time, Qing Shui recovered from his daze as he praised her.

“Did I even smile?” Tantai Lingyan seemed as if she hadn’t even realised that she had smiled.

“Mhm, you did. Please smile more in the future okay? It only adds to your beauty.” Qing Shui squeezed her hand.

Tantai Lingyan didn’t say anything but the expression on her face grew more gentle. Suddenly, she felt that her relationship with this man was very close. It was a closeness in terms of their soul. It was unknown how long it had been since she had had this kind of feeling. Now that this feeling had seized her, it was like meeting someone very familiar in a crowd of strangers, only more intense.

This was the first time she had felt like just sitting down leisurely, drinking tea with this man and enjoying the quiet moments of life. This feeling was something she liked, and she would unconsciously glance at Qing Shui time to time. He wasn’t bad looking at all, much more handsome compared to the vast majority of men. Although he exuded a little demonic charm, he still had that steely aura of a man.

“Am I nice to look at? You can do anything you want to me. I won’t resist.” Qing Shui teased lightly.

“Nope, you’re very ugly.” Tantai Lingyan calmly looked Qing Shui in the eye as she replied. The tone of her words was very casual, not forced at all.

“You are lying.” Qing Shui smiled.

She wasn’t like other women. Some of her emotions were suppressed tightly, not shone on her face at all. One had to meticulously study her micro-expressions. He knew that her heart wasn’t fully opened to him yet. Only when her barriers were completely down would this icy woman show him her love.

……

Time passed by, day after day. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During this period of time, Qing Shui would be at home. Today, Yehuang Guwu gave birth to a baby boy.

After Qing Shui entered the room, he saw Yehuang Guwu’s weakened constitution. She was carrying the little bundle of joy in her arms, as a gratified smile could be seen on her face.

“Qing Shui, he really looks like you.” Yehuang Guwu smiled. In the surroundings, Qing Shui’s other women were all smiling as they looked at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui took over carrying the baby. The baby had large clean eyes, unlike the babies in his previous world who needed a short period of time to cleanse their eyes of ‘eye wax’. Maybe it was because the spiritual qi in this world was much more abundant and that his parents both had special physiques. The skin of this new-born baby was just like jade.

“Give him a name.” Qing Yi laughed.

After Yan Zhongyue’s return, Qing Shui’s mother had felt something finally settle down in her heart. She was much calmer than before.

“Let’s name him Yan Lang!” Qing Shui spoke after thinking for awhile.

Qing Yi started for a moment before smiling as she nodded.

Previously, his babies were all surnamed Qing. Since they were already named, they wouldn’t change it. But now since Yan Zhongyue had returned, Qing Shui’s surname by right should be Yan and not Qing. Hence, the babies born in the future would all take the ‘Yan’ surname. When he passed his son to Yan Zhongyue and told his father that the baby would be surnamed ‘Yan’, Yan Zhongyue’s eyes actually were actually welling up.

Actually, he didn’t mind what surname his grandsons and granddaughters took as they were all family to him. However, he was still touched by the gesture.

In this year, the Qing Clan’s population grew again. Their manor expanded, and even more formations were laid down. The Imperial Cuisine Hall also expanded and was much larger compared to before. The Qing Clan’s web of human connections naturally grew larger as well.

There was no need to say much about the strength of Qing Clan. They had many connections in the Phoenix Dance Continent. Many major powers owed favors to the Qing Clan and would naturally stand on their side. In fact, they were deadly loyal to the Qing Clan because of Qing Shui. But even without Qing Shui, the current Qing Clan was strong enough as well. After all, quite a few of Qing Shui’s women were extremely fearsome existences.

The Qing Clan could be said to be at the summit of a continent. It was only that they preferred to keep a low profile, and had no wish to contend for the resources of the Phoenix Dance Continent. But even so, their influence and authority was greater compared to any other power.

Furthermore, the strength of the Qing Clan was still growing. Those other clans and sects who had a little judgement all knew that, in a few decades, the strength of Qing Clan would reach a point where they could only gaze up in admiration.

Qing Zun, Qing Yin and Qin Ming’s strength had already reached the initial grade of Martial King. Qing Ming also finished his coming of age ceremony. The four generations of the Qing Clan all had a meteoric rise and this year, Qing Hui and Qing Hu were both married. Their partners were members of two great clans in the Phoenix Dance Continent. Qing Shui wouldn’t object as long as the two parties in question were truly in love with each other. It was fine as long as they are happy together.

Qing Hui and Qing Hu’s strengths weren’t weak. They were considered powerful existences within the clan. Ever since they had departed from the Hundred Miles City, the life they had experienced in Central Continent up had all caused them to transform a lot. They didn’t have the arrogance of the nobility, but rather, an identity even more precious.Previous ChapterNext Chapte
