AST 1867 - The Third Prince of Golden Sacred Palace (1/2)
Qing Xiu had grown a lot since the time he left. Although he hadn’t reached a year old yet, he was still growing every day. The changes that he had gone through would be very obvious even if it had only been ten days or half a month not seeing him, not to mention half a year worth of time.
Luckily, the little brat was still unable to recognize people. Or perhaps, it might be because he had met very few people every day or perhaps he had already gotten familiar with Qing Shui’s aura that he didn’t repel Qing Shui. In fact, he really liked it when Qing Shui was carrying him.
“Did everything go smoothly?” Yiye Jiange asked Qing Shui after everyone sat down.
As of now, Qing Shui was feeling a bit ridiculous. His visit this time was originally to be by the Vampiric Empress’s side when she was giving birth to his daughter. They had established a husband and wife relationship with each other as a result. But in between, he also ran into incidents concerning the Sacred Mountain. Hence, he was very honest with his words and told them that everything went as planned.
“Yes, it all went well.”
“That’s good then. Also, there is one thing which I haven’t told you about.” Yiye Jiange remembered and said.
“DO NOT mention it!” Before Yiye Jiange could continue, Qing Hanye had interrupted Yiye Jiange.
Qing Shui looked at them confused, “What’s wrong?”
“Let Sister Hanye tell you about it. She doesn’t want me to tell you.” Yiye Jiange smiled as she pushed the responsibility to Qing Hanye.
Qing Shui smiled and looked at Qing Hanye, “Judging by your expression, you must have found a man whom you like.”
Qing Hanye was surprised by Qing Shui’s words. After that, she revealed a sad look, “Do you really want me to see another man so badly?”
Qing Shui had never expected for Qing Hanye to overthink so much. He was actually just teasing her before. But now, it seemed that it didn’t work as well as he planned. Besides, it was absolutely false to say that he would want to see her falling for another man.
“No, I am just confirming it. If there is really someone you are seeing then I must get myself prepared to turn him into a palace eunuch.” Qing Shui said in a serious tone after a moment of thought.
“All you do is to spout nonsense. It’s not much. It’s just that the third prince of the Golden Sacred Palace had once come here to declare marriage only to be refused by me. He seemed to be unwilling to give up. But so far, he hasn’t done anything too excessive. He would just come here every few days. I didn’t even allow him to enter the Sunset Ocean King Palace.” Qing Hanye said anxiously while looking at Qing Shui.
“Golden Sacred Palace? What is that?” Qing Shui realized that there seemed to be many things which he didn’t know about.
“It’s located deep within the Northern Ocean. Even around the area where we are located at, there are still many powerful forces in hiding. The Golden Sacred Palace is just one of them. It is located slightly further away from us compared to the Watermoon Cavern and the Wavemoon Cavern. The Golden Sacred Palace is also slightly more powerful than them. It is also called the Five-headed Lobster King Tribe. Inside their body flowed the blood of Ancient Bloodline Warriors.”
Qing Shui originally planned to criticize the person as nothing but just a demon but then he remembered that Luo Qingcheng and Muyun Qingge were beside him. Besides, this concept had been long gone from his ideology. So long as a person had the consciousness of a human, their look as well as their culture, they would be considered humans. Many centuries ago, humans also used to be merely apes and monkeys. They were humans’ original nature.”
Talking up to this point, something seemed to be going on outside. After that, a guard appeared at the entrance.
“My dearest Palace Lords, the guy has come again. He insists on coming in.”
“Let him come in.” Qing Shui quickly said. He wanted to see just what kind of a person he was to be so stubborn. It was very unusually for him to still be unwilling to give up even when he was facing Qing Hanye.
