AST 311 – Even An Ugly Daughter-In-Law Needs to Meet Her Parents-In-Law, Pure Gold Fishing Rod

“You rascal, daring to have the evil intentions but not the courage to follow it through!”

Hearing this, Qing Shui’s blood boiled. This demoness would always say things that gave him the urge to tear her clothes off and punish her right on the spot. Thinking of how he had still not succeed made Qing Shui feel very helpless, even though he had been aroused by her countless times since she knew how to pick the best locations. However, even when time passed, Qing Shui was not thick-skinned enough to peel off her clothes…

This time round, Qing Shui still felt very helpless, as Canghai Mingyue was around. Qing Shui did not know why he would be concerned over what this lady felt. He did not know if he loved the two of them, but he found it hard to throw them aside. It was like kinship, but yet something was different.

Qing Shui did not deny that he was a player, but he was not promiscuous. He had a strong yearning towards beautiful ladies, but would tend to give them due consideration. Qing Shui longed for a life with multiple wives and concubines, but he could not find it in him to say it out to them.

Letting out a sigh, he looked at Huoyun Liu-Li indecently as they headed for the back of the mountain amidst her pretty laughter. The afternoon sunlight casted long shadows for the three of them which occasionally overlapped each other.

Now in winter, many of the plants at the back of the mountain were bare, giving one the feeling of bleakness, lamenting how boundless the world is.

Qing Shui and the two ladies walked on the mountain path, stepping on the dry leaves blown off the branches by the wind. Qing Shui felt that this moment was very calming, such that he could even feel that his heartbeat was much calmer than before.

It might be because Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li were also feeling the same thing, so the three of them did not say a word. Whoever they met on the road would look at Qing Shui with envy. With the beauties as companions, it was an extremely joyful feeling.

“Qing Shui, will you be representing Starmoon Hall in the competition between the various halls next year?”

Qing Shui was not surprised that she would be asking this. After all, he had already defeated the Chief Disciple of the Starday Hall, so even if he wee to attend the competition between the various Chief Disciples, it would not be cause Gongsun Jianwu to lose face.

He probably would not have a choice of whether he would be the one to go either.

“Maybe. Elder Mo had once told me that the Palace Lord’s intention to let me participate in it.” Qing Shui chuckled, strolling around with the two ladies on the vast area at the back of the mountain.

The fluctuating landscape made Qing Shui feel astonished at the majesty of Heavenly Palace Mountain, and of the mystery of the Creator of all living things. This towering mountain which was tens of thousands meters above sea-level, with stone steps cut into it, leading all the way to the peak. Just this process alone was a great project, forcibly cutting into the mountains.

“I look forward to your performance on that day. It’ll definitely be an eye-opener!” Canghai Mingyue smiled, but her black profound eyes were hiding a tinge of worry.

“I actually am not very keen to participate in these events since my goal is not to defeat those Chief Disciples, nor is it to fight to become the top Chief Disciple. I just wish to live a normal life,” Qing Shui said and let out a sigh.

At that moment, Qing Shui’s disposition, plus his tone, made him appear like a person who had been through a lot. He also had on a manly charm which was hard to describe; something which he only had after his disposition had changed.

Qing Shui was not making a fuss without a cause. In his previous life, he was a stay-at-home nerd with no large ambitions, merely hoping that he would meet a lady he likes, have a simple family, to be with his parents, to have a pair of son and daughter in the future, have some money to spend. However, from the first day he came to this world, it was destined that this was just wishful thinking.

He had too many emotional burdens, which even if he were to put them down, he would not feel happy. It was why Qing Shui decided to topple that heavy mountain in his heart. Only then would he be able to live the simple life he wanted.

But after toppling it, Qing Shui knew that the simple life he wanted might have left him for good!

Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li saw Qing Shui’s expression and knew what he was thinking of and did not know what to say. Rather than consoling him, they felt that it was better for them to remain quiet.

“Qing Shui, you promised that you would stay at the Heavenly Palace for three years. It hasn’t been a year yet, you’re not allowed to go back on your word,” Canghai Mingyue said seriously, with an expression which was hard for others to tell what she was thinking about.

“Three years, three years is too far off. Mingyue, I promise you that I’ll stay here and spend next year’s new year here. After that, I’ll want to head home. I need to go back to do some preparation,” Qing Shui replied, looking at Canghai Mingyue seriously.

“Qing Shui, let me go back with you. I miss home,” Huoyun Liu-Li interrupted.

Her words ‘I miss home’ made Canghai Mingyue’s eyes turn dull, her expression down crested. Qing Shui grabbed onto her hand, giving her a bit of warmth, while at the same time, letting her know that he was very concerned for her, and that he was there for her.

“Alright, Mingyue, do you want to stay here at the Heavenly Palace or go with me and Liu-Li to our area? It’s quite a secluded area and is suitable for taking a break.”

Hearing Qing Shui’s words, Huoyun Liu-Li also realized that she had spoken the wrong words. She quickly said, “That’s right, elder sister can go back with me. We’ll go visit Qing Shui’s place. What do you think?”

Huoyun Liu-Li was very clever, immediately changing the topic to a one with a flirtatious mood, making Canghai Mingyue feel as if she was visiting Qing Shui’s family, admitting their relationship, or…

Canghai Mingyue looked a bit anxious, raising her head to look at Qing Shui, “Is it convenient?”

Her voice was very soft, but it made Qing Shui break out into a happy smile, “Even an ugly daughter-in-law would need to meet her parents-in-law, moreover Yueyue isn’t an ugly daughter-in-law, of course I’d be happy if you could come.”

“Qing Shui, what rubbish are you talking about?” Canghai Mingyue pounded on Qing Shui’s chest lightly.

Qing Shui looked at the rare embarrassed look she had on her face. He was used to her majestic and beautiful appearance that her current appearance gave him a tingling feeling.

“Then that settles it. After next year’s new year, we set off.”

The three of them started to chat about insignificant stuff. It may be because they had took paths which were more visible, they rarely came across lovebirds, and even if they did, they would just be kissing at most.

Just a few meters away was a couple who seemed as if they had been separated by life and death, and were furiously sucking and biting each other’s lips, their hands running over each other. But while their clothes were very messy, they were not baring skin.

It was such a deep kiss that it was as if there were no one around them. Qing Shui looked at them with interest, while the two ladies lowered their heads and rushed Qing Shui to walk faster. The couple got a shock and quickly separated, smiling at Qing Shui and said, “Hi, Qing Shui!”

“Mmm mmm, hi. The two of you please continue, continue!” Qing Shui grinned, not expecting the other party to openly greet him.

After walking for a short distance, they once again astonished a few other pairs of lovebirds who would all greeted Qing Shui warmly. There were even those who would throw suggestive looks towards him, saying that they would give up the spot for Qing Shui…

In the end, Qing Shui and the two ladies could only head back. Qing Shui guessed that it would be hard to have another chance to visit the back of the mountain anymore.

“How’s the back of the mountain? Shall we join them next time?” Qing Shui smiled teasingly.

“If you can get Sister Mingyue to agree, then I’ll agree,” Huoyun Liu-Li said slyly and blinked her seductive pair of eyes at Qing Shui.

They walked slowly, and when they arrived back at Cang Wuya’s residence, half the afternoon was already gone. Qing Shui felt that the day was a very fulfilling one, mentally.

Just then the sound of footsteps came from outside, and then a loud voice rang out, “Brother Qing Shui is here, right?”

Fei Wuji chuckled. “Qing Shui, let’s go out and take a look. See what 3rd Brother Hei has prepared for you as compensation.”

Qing Shui smiled bitterly and nodded. Other than Cang Wuya, they all headed out.

There was a tanned man and five young men behind him, each of them holding on to a box. The boxes did not seem very big; they were long and flat, but one of them was bigger than the rest.

“Elder Fei, Brother Qing Shui, this is a token of my appreciation to thank Brother Qing Shui for going easy on me.” 3rd Brother Hei said. He smiled then waved his hand.

The few men behind him who were carrying boxes came up to Qing Shui!

Fei Wuji chuckled and then kept quiet. Qing Shui did not expect the Song Clan to really send gifts, but after giving it some thought, he understood the reason why. Song Lang was also an expert of Martial King level. When met with failures, he can stand up again.

“Brother Qing Shui can take a look to see if the gifts are to your liking,” 3rd Brother Hei said with a smile.

Qing Shui looked at Fei Wuji, confused. The latter smiled and nodded.

Qing Shui looked towards 3rd Brother Hei, smiled and nodded. He then walked towards the first box, reached out his hand to gradually open it. What appeared before him was a thousand-Year Rosa Laevigata[1]!

Qing Shui looked at the thousand-year medicinal herb. While the Rosa Laevigata was considered an ordinary medicinal herb, once it reaches thousand-year, it would be like a sparrow rising to the ranks of phoenixes.

He also had some Rosa Laevigatas back in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, but they were still too young. Therefore, this thousand-year Rosa Laevigata was still quite good. At least it was something he could use.

Heading to the second box, Qing Shui opened it. What appeared before him was a rock that had a color which was a red as blood!

Red agate!

Qing Shui looked at its color, seeing that it was the size of a pigeon’s egg and the sharp aura it exuded, he was certain that it should be a grade 3 one. Qing Shui was quite happy with it since it would be able to give him even more powers.

Thinking about the black treasured stone, Qing Shui gradually closed the box, feeling that the red agate should be quite good. However, compared to the black treasured stone of the same grade, it should be slightly weaker. This world emphasized on agility and strength, and between the two, strength was more treasured.

It was just that Qing Shui was stumped on whether a 3rd grade red agate could be mounted immediately. Mounting on weapons required digging of “holes”, which would require “formations” and “Smelt Synthesis”.

Qing Shui thought of how it would probably be hard to even open holes on the Big Dipper Sword, but the Heaven Shaking Hammer might be a good choice. After all, this weapon itself emphasized on strength.

Qing Shui closed the lid. These two items were nothing to the Song Clan, but it was considered quite good for him, and the other three items would likely not be too shabby either. At least there should be one which was more presentable. Thinking about this, he opened the 3rd.

“Fishing rod?” Qing Shui looked at the red colored fishing rod which was folded up and placed in the box. He felt that this fishing rod had a mysterious power, and was surprised at the fact that it looked exactly the same as the one in his imagination.

“Pure Gold Fishing Rod!”

Qing Shui was very agitated for once. The Pure Gold Fishing Rod was a mysterious fishing rod which was forged using the mysterious Purity Gold. It was said that the Pure Gold Fishing Rod could be use to catch some mysterious creatures.

However, Qing Shui did not understand why the Song Clan would give him this. Did they not know how precious this Pure Gold Fishing Rod was? Or did they not get anything after using this fishing rod?

Qing Shui had not heard of Pure Gold in this world. It was not really some fantastic material, just a very rare and mysterious type of metal. The fishing rod looked extremely beautiful. Was that the reason why it was given to him as a gift?
