AST 1826 - Westgate Hegemon, Foolish Sage Inheritor (1/2)

Lu Tong and Lan Lingfeng gave Qing Shui a friendly pat on the back before greeting Tantai Lingyan and Qin Qing. It was crystal clear to them that the two women belonged to Qing Shui.

Lan Lingfeng took pride in his extraordinary talent, but he had to cede to Qing Shui when it came to relations with women. He did not dare to have any wild thoughts about Tantai Lingyan, as there was an insurmountable gap between them.

But he wouldn’t know that if Qing Shui and Tantai Lingyan hadn’t had that beautiful misunderstanding. He wouldn’t dare to have such thoughts either.

The two women had stayed here for quite a while and became more familiar with the rest, it was akin to having a second home. Qing Shui also treated this place as his home, as they were brothers. Here, he felt just like home, meeting everyone made him feel satisfied and jovial.

Qing Shui and the two women had not been in the Imperial Cuisine Hall for a while. Previously, when they were here, they had to leave immediately, the two had lived here for a while before returning to the Demon Lord Palace.

Hence, Qing Shui decided to stay for a while since they were not far from the Sunset Sea King Palace, waiting for Lu Tong’s child to be born.

Zhong Jia did want to visit the Sunset Sea King Palace since it was nearby. With Qing Shui’s speed, it would be simple for Qing Shui to send him there.

Thinking about the birth of Lu Tong’s child, Qing Shui couldn’t help but recall the Vampiric Empress as she was already about four months pregnant. Still, Qing Shui did not want to be caught up in the issue.

He had already gotten a massive headache over it for a long time and even after some time, he was still unable to forget about the matter. He didn’t know what to do, should he visit when the child was about to be born?

Qing Shui was the weakest when it came to such kinship matters; he was unable to cut ties with anyone, even if she were an evil Vampiric Demoness, the Vampiric Empress, he was still the first and only male, and human, whose blood she siphoned and sucked.

He did not know why he cared so much, nor why he was struggling internally. He used to believe that the realm he reached was already satisfactory; that the vast seas and skies were for fishes and birds to swim and soar; that he had seen through the mortal world; that he could understand and handle everything…

Qing Shui stayed at the Imperial Cuisine Hall with Yu Niang and the rest whom he respected a great deal, as a mother, albeit powerless and ordinary, but still a respectable mother.

Qing Shui directly raised her to the Xiantian level, allowing her to live more comfortably while her children had already begun to cultivate. Meanwhile, she and Tianyi seemed to have gotten closer.

Tianyi was not a youth by any means but his cultivation was still acceptable. Though incomparable with the likes of Qing Shui, he was still a high-level Martial Saint, possessing medical skills unparalleled throughout the Imperial Cuisine Hall.

Perhaps it was the course of time, but Yu Niang was very young despite her numerous children, as she had her children young while her youth was preserved by Qing Shui and his Beauty Pellets.

Qing Shui still couldn’t quite wrap his head around it as Yu Niang already had four children, and then thinking about himself with Yu Ruyan and Mingyue Gelou, it was like a pot calling the kettle black.

Qing Shui could only catch glimpses but he was unsure. He didn’t ask Yu Niang given her shyness. A single person tending to four children was not easy and only with Qing Shui’s assistance was she able to turn her life around.

Qing Shui was still able to see some sparks and did encourage Yu Niang to find another husband, given her young age, but Yu Niang was afraid that her children would be apprehensive. Perhaps this situation had changed as even the youngest lass was already in her teens.

Most importantly, Tianyi was a master and a mentor to the children, treating them exceptionally well, meaning that Yu Niang had no qualms in that regard. If they were his children, they would truly be bound by blood.
