As the day gradually darkened, Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou returned to the world of souls. They walked in tandem with leisurely steps, until they reached the gate of the Lin Clan residence without guards. As soon as they passed through the gate, many pairs of eyes were looking at them with their mouths agape. Qing Shandian ignored all of that, while Qing Wenrou was embarrassed by the many gazes from the members of the Lin Clan.
Continuing to set foot, Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou reached the guest house, where Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua were located. When Qing Shandian was about to knock on the door, suddenly the door opened. However, Lin Lianhua stood silently in front of him with her mouth agape.
Seeing his mother who was showing such a reaction, Qing Shandian immediately said briefly, "An'er is coming home..."
Lin Lianhua immediately regained her senses, yet she did not immediately reply. His gaze fixated on the beautiful girl behind Qing Shandian, then he said, "An'er... Who's the pretty girl behind you? Why don't you recognize her?"
Qing Shandian cleared his throat lightly, then replied, "Ehemm.. Of course you won't recognize her, because this is the first time you've met... How is that, does she look pretty? " As soon as he finished replying to his mother's question, he turned his gaze to Qing Wenrou, then said, "Wenrou, this is my mother, Lin Lianhua... Come nearer.."
Qing Wenrou walked sluggishly in embarrassment while slightly looking down. She said, cupping her hands, "Hail Mother Lin... I'm called Wenrou..."
"Ah.. Shy girl.. Hih.. Did I scare you, Rou'er? Comein... We're talking inside." Lin Lianhua chuckled, then held Qing Wenrou's hand. Even the neglected Qing Shandian could only shake his head while smiling wryly.
As soon as they were inside, Qing Yuan who was sipping her tea became coughing when she saw a beautiful girl walking beside Lin Lianhua.
"Ohuk.uhuk... Hua'er, who is this? Why don't I recognize him?" Chirp Qing Yuan with a curious tone.
"Hide... Yuan gege, what do you think? Is it in pretty?" Reply Lin Lianhua while giggling..
"Uhh.. So lovely.. Tell me, where did you find this girl, Hua'er?" Sahut Qing Yuan was curious.
"Hide... Of course it was An'er who brought him here.. I think so, too, she's very pretty... Could it be that we will have a daughter-in-law sooner?" Reply Lin Lianhua again giggled, teasing Qing Shandian.
"Uhukis.. Uhukkc.. Uhukk... Ma'am, An'er brought her here to introduce you.. Uhh... What is daughter-in-law.. An'er's just a little kid who's suddenly big.." Sahut Qing Shandian with a grunt..
"Little boy... Say it! Whose girl did you steal? Don't tell me you took it from someone's hand." Said Qing Yuan in an interrogating tone..
"Uhh.. Fucking dad... Is An'er such a person? What is stealing.. He fell from the seventh heaven, and An'er caught him. Hows it? Beautiful isn't? Hmmmm... Even prettier than mom." Qing Shandian's chirp with origin replied.
"Little boy, don't compare your mother... She's the prettiest..." Sahut Qing Yuan defended Lin Lianhua..
Lin Lianhua who was watching those who started arguing, said coldly, "If you guys keep arguing, don't think about sleeping inside the house.. "
Hearing her mother's cold tone, Qing Shandian immediately went silent, as did Qing Yuan.
"Emmm.. Good you guys understand." Said Lin Lianhua, then she continued, "Rou'er let's sit down..." Take it to Qing Wenrou who was replied with a nod.
"Rou'er, can you tell me a little bit, where did you come from? And how did you get to know this little boy?" Continued Lin Lianhua in a relaxed tone.
Qing Wenrou who had gotten the frontal question from Lin Lianhua was silent for a moment. She looked at Qing Shandian only to find him smiling gently at her. After that momentary silence, he replied gently, "Actually, Wenrou is an independent cultivator. Wenrou was just a wanderer. Initially, Wenrou had a small group. However, due to an incident, we had to separate. Next, our meeting was due to accident. It happened at the Black Gold Trading House. An gege saved me from one of the young Lords of the Xing Clan. Because of An gege's friendly and caring attitude, we finally started getting to know each other." Qing Wenrou calmly made up an excuse that seemed logical.
"Uhh... Clan Xing! Again the fucking Xing Clan! Fortunately they were destroyed.." Lin Lianhua said with a hint of residual anger, when recalling the difficulty of her Clan due to the Xing Clan's actions. Then, he continued in a light tone, "Then, what are your plans now? Are you going to go back to being an independent cultivator again?.."
"Ah... That's.. Wenrou...."
Before Qing Wenrou finished her remark, Qing Shandian immediately interrupted, "Ehemmm... That's.. Ma'am, Wenrou will be An'er's traveling companion from now on. After the affairs within the Qing Clan were resolved, An'er wanted to adventure in this Tianxia Continent. An'er wants to know a lot of things. And again, how could you ask such a thing? Do you want to take off a girl as beautiful and graceful as Wenrou?.. Ck.ck.ck is a pity.. Didn't An'er one day also need a life companion? Uhh... I know, Wenrou is a very caring and loving girl..." Qing Shandian's face with a helpless expression.
"Haihi.. An'er, that's not what I meant. But, by the way, since when did mom's little monster grow up to be more mature?.." Temptation Lin Lianhua.
"Hehe.. Little boy, your journey is still very long... I don't mind if you're adventuring. But you have to remember one thing. Trust only those you think can be trusted. You don't know a lot about a person's character yet, so be careful. Do not reveal your identity. You certainly remember, don't you? Our clan, has very powerful enemies, which we don't even know who they really are." Qing Yuan warned.
"Emmm.. An'er will always remember the message of father and mother. After all, An'er isn't alone either, is she? There is a future beautiful daughter-in-law who accompanies An'er's journey... Ahaha.." Qing Shandian said with a laugh.
Meanwhile, the embarrassed Qing Wenrou could only quietly lower her head..
"Huhhh.. All right, our business is completely done.. Tomorrow, we will return to the Qing Clan... Hopefully everything is in line with our original plan... If not, uhh... Maybe it'll all be a lot of trouble." Sahut Qing Shandian relaxed.
"You don't need to worry about the Qing Clan. Father will try to convince the Elders and Clan Leaders. All right, now rest. Tomorrow we have to travel to the Snow Lotus City." Qing Yuan replied to Qing Shandian's words so as not to worry about the Clan. However, he suddenly remembered something, before saying, "Ohh.. An'er, you better build a new residence that is spacious enough for us personally. We can't keep going like this, can we?" Qing Yuan's mouth gave a suggestion.
"Ahhhhhhhh.. That's right, An'er also just remembered that. All right, An'er will do it. After all, An'er also has something to do. So, An'er won't bother you anymore." Sahut Qing Shandian while standing up. Then he looked at Wenrou, then asked, "Wenrou, do you want to stay with father and mother, or come with me?"
Qing Wenrou did not immediately reply, yet she turned her head towards Lin Lianhua.
"Go, accompany him.. If he does anything, then,... Hmphc... I'll punish him with a whip!" Said Lin Lianhua softly, before then saying with a cold snort.
"Well, Mother Lin, Wenrou will accompany An gege." Qing Wenrou then stood up to Qing Shandian and they came out of the guest house together.
...………………………...
Not far from the Area between Shangdi's Medicine Pavilion and the river as well as the waterfall, Qing Shandian and Qing Wenrou stood side by side. Currently, Qing Shandian was inspecting the 'Store' System to purchase a building as his family residence. After a long time of sorting, he finally found a magnificent and artistic building with two floors for 1 million PS, and he bought it. After that, he placed the building in an empty area in front of him. Furthermore, he bought a Cultivation Special Room for 2.5 Milliar PS, and placed it side by side with the previous residence. Seeing that, Qing Shandian nodded in satisfaction. He no longer needed to come here if he wanted to cultivate.
Looking towards Qing Wenrou, he said, "Let's go in..."
Qing Wenrou replied with a light nod as she said, "Well, An gege.."
As soon as they entered the residence, Qing Shandian immediately chose a room on the second floor, as well as Qing Wenrou. But they didn't rest right away. Instead, Qing Shandian took Qing Wenrou to the second-floor terrace while enjoying the night view of the soul world.
The silent atmosphere between them did not last long, as Qing Shandian opened the conversation.
"Wenrou, other than the Special Cultivation Room, is there anything that can quickly increase the strength of me and the Clan? If just meditating absorbed the spiritual Qi of the soul world, even though it was aided again with Special Space Cultivation, it was still fairly slow right? After all, not everyone has high potential." Said Qing Shandian while explaining his complaint.
Qing Wenrou did not immediately reply, she pondered for a moment before then replying, "It looks like there is... Firstly, An gege could still raise the Soul World to the God Class. With the System Points that An gege had, wasn't it very cheap?... Second, the God Class Cultivation Technique. An gege can check it out on the 'Store' system... Thirdly, there was a type of pill within the 'Store' system that could help absorb Spiritual Qi other than the 'Spiritual Qi Gathering Pill. If not mistaken, the name of the pill was 'Spiritual Qi Compressing Vortex Pill'. It was a high-tier grade-8 pill, yet it could be used by anyone with a cultivation base with the lowest at a 1-star Golden Core Level."
Finishing his words, Qing Wenrou again said, "With the current cultivation level of 2 Star King An Gege, if you want to quickly ascend to 3-Star, please, Wenrou thought the three things that Wenrou had explained earlier could help An gege. Perhaps, it would take at least 3 days of cultivation. And if you want to upgrade to 4-Star, at least 10 days. An gege certainly knew how difficult it was to increase cultivation. The higher, the longer it takes."
"Emmm.. I understand that very well... Maybe I'm too anxious and in a hurry." Sahut Qing Shandian while nodding.
"Anyways, being in a hurry is not a good thing, right? There are many things An Gege can do. Like, improving the profession of Alchemist and Array master that An gege had obtained. An gege certainly also knows the importance of a profession in the world of kuktivator right? Finding someone with a profession of a high class is not easy in this world. Even if they could find it, the requirements they would submit in return for them would also be sky-high and of course sometimes they would propose something even more troublesome. Furthermore, there are still other professions that An gege can learn and persevere. First was the Spiritual Beast Master. By relying on this profession, An gege could have a large army of Spiritual Beasts that would obediently obey An gege's orders. It was also good as an additional support force. If relying on a cultivator, not necessarily they could be completely loyal and trustworthy." Qing Wenrou responded.
He stopped for a moment, then continued. "Second is Weapon Master. With this profession, An Gege could upgrade, or even make weapons according to what An gege wanted. Perhaps, people think it would be very impossible to pursue 4 Professions at once. But, with An gege's intelligence, understanding, potential and talent, it was not impossible. The most important and primary... Wenrou believed that An gege could do all of that perfectly." Quiet Qing Wenrou with a very confident tone.
Upon hearing Qing Wenrou's last words, Qing Shandian was stunned for a moment, before then regained his senses. Looking at the figure of beauty in front of him who stood majestically while staring at the moonlight of the soul world, Qing Shandian smiled widely, then turned his gaze to look at the brightly shining moon. In a soft voice, he said, "You're right, Wenrou... I totally agree with everything you've explained. I don't know much about the outside world yet, and don't know what the cultivation world is like in reality.. I will take one step back, and pursue the 4 Professions you say... While occasionally, I would cultivate to increase my strength... In addition, I also need to learn the new techniques I got after upgrading the system.. Anyways... Thanks, Wenrou... You really pay attention to me. And thank you to everyone until today..." Qing Shandian's complexion was calmly accompanied by determined eyes.
Qing Wenrou who heard Qing Shandian's words of gratitude immediately turned her head. He looked at Qing Shandian who was standing looking at the sky with a calm expression on his face. As if, he had just released all the heavy burden on him.. With a gentle smile, he said, "After all, Wenrou will always help An gege to break the line."
"Ohh... Breaking boundaries? What limit is that? Is that also the boundary between us?.. Ummm... Wenrou, I'm a child, maybe in 7 years we can cross the line between us..." Qing Shandian's chirps with origin, teasing Qing Wenrou.
Qing Wenrou who heard Qing Shandian's haphazard remarks became very embarrassed by the reddish color of decorating her face up to her neck. He violently stomped on Qing Shandian's feet, then ran into the room while shouting, "Basic An stupid gege... Lecherous!!..."
"Ohhhh.... Wenrou, do you know that it hurts a lot?" Said Qing Shandian while grimacing in pain..
"Sense... You stupid An gege.. Bawdy... Shameless.. " Sahut Qing Wenrou who was already in the room...
After that, the atmosphere returned to its silence. Qing Shandian looked back at the sky for a moment with a big smile, then turned to enter his room.
