AGM 0029 – Bai Qing’s Talent
The hand that Qin Yao extended to Qin Wentian froze in mid-air as she looked at the demonic ape carrying Qin Wentian. She had a sense of surrealism, almost like she was in a dream.
This demonic ape doesn’t seem to be a true demonic beast; if it was, there would have been no way for Qin Wentian to rge his body with it. However, the expression that it was currently exhibiting through its eyes was so human, so real.
“Roar.” The demonic ape howled as it turned its back and galloped away. Every step it took shook the ground and caused a thunderous sound to ring out. Its body leaped into the air, and as it landed on to the ground once more, there were cracks within a 100 ters of its landing. The montum of that gigantic body was not delayed even slightly, and it continued leaping into the air. Swiftly, its figure blurred into a show while the thunderous sounds of its landing continued to echo throughout Sky Harmony City
“How is this possible? Summoning a War Beast? How is it possible that it would appear at Qin Wentian’s side? If that was not a summoning, then what was it?” Murin had seen many things and had extraordinary experiences, but even he had no idea about the origins of that demonic ape from earlier.
Qin Yao’s figure dashed behind the demonic ape, but she was stopped by Qin Ye. Currently, the Ye Clan was in full retreat, but Sky Harmony City was still under their control. If Qin Yao were to chase after Qin Wentian, it would be too dangerous.
However, their crisis was averted, albeit only temporarily.
Qin Ye cast a side glance at Murin, as he coldly stated, “My Qin Clan will rember today’s actions clearly in our hearts.”
Murin indifferently swept his gaze over to Qin Ye without even giving a damn; the haughty look in his eyes clearly expressed disdain. Putting Qin Ye beneath his notice, he replied, “Lady Luck seems to be smiling on you today. If you ever want to find , co to the Star River Association in the Royal Capital.”
After he finished speaking, Murin and the rest returned to the Star River Association without waiting for Qin Ye’s reply. In the eyes of a revered weaponsmith such as himself, the Qin Clan was rely a clan that has fallen to ruins and was about to fade away.
Qin Ye brought the mbers of the Qin Clan along as they opted to leave together with the mbers of the Emperor Star Academy. The spectators, who had been viewing from afar, still had a dazed look on their faces. Very quickly, rumors started to spread to all corners of the Sky Harmony City—Qin Wentian transford into a monstrous demonic ape and killed Ye Mo, whose cultivation was at the Yuanfu Realm. Currently, Qin Wentian was an extrely hot topic amongst the citizens of Sky Harmony City, as his exploits were discussed by countless people.
At the very sa day, another shocking event of the sa magnitude occured: from Chu Country’s northwestern direction, there was a legion of troops who arrived and destroyed the seal from the Sky Harmony City before rushing towards the Qin Residence. Rumor had it that these troops were the guards stationed at the northwestern region of Chu Country. In the past, their general was a battle commander under Qin Wu. After hearing the news of the Ye Clan leading their troops over to seal Sky Harmony City, they had rushed throughout the night in order to reach the city in ti
The situation and power balance of the Sky Harmony City once again underwent a drastic change. The Qin Clan regained their forr authority, Asura Wu fled in defeat, and the Bai Clan decided to relocate, preparing to move to the Royal Capital.
Bai Clan...Bai Qingsong seed to have aged drastically from the ti Autumn Snow condensed her Astral Soul, which caused him to be in high spirits, to the encounter with Qin Wentian, who suddenly revealed his power. Now, even his little daughter refused to heed his words.
“I will not leave with you.” Bai Qing calmly looked at her father as she spoke, However her words were now much colder, lacking their previous affection. During the past few days, she had been imprisoned by Bai Qingsong.
“Impudent! what happened to your filial piety?” Bai Qingsong was outraged.
“Filial piety? Daddy, you still rembered that it was you who had taught filial piety. You were the one who also taught benevolence and righteousness, but look at what you’ve done! Hypocrite! Repaying gratitude with enmity, almost causing the death of Wentian gege.” Bai Qing’s eyes were slightly wet; she hated her father imnsely, realizing that every thought she had of her father was a facade. Bai Qingsong truly was a hypocrite.”
(TL: “gege” ans older brother)
The psychological impact of personally witnessing her father betray his own beliefs was extrely cruel for a 15 year-old girl who had always thought of her father as her idol and had firmly believed in his kindness.
“Wentian gege? I’m your father! As for benevolence and righteousness, it is only possible if there are benefits to pave the way. Everything I do, I do it for the Bai Clan, for both of you sisters.” The look in Bai Qingsong’s eyes went cold. “Why can’t you be more like your elder sister.”
“Be like sister and keep a false pretence? She was so good that even I was fooled. I never thought she would be so evil, even when Wentian gege was so good to her.” Bai Qing coldly laughed.
“Stop being unreasonable. It seems like after all these years, I have raised and fed you for nothing. No wonder your sister is so talented and yet you can’t even cultivate.” Bai Qingsong was imnsely disappointed.
“Talent, do you an this?” Bai Qing continue laughing coldly, and abruptly, resplendent astral light shone brilliantly, lighting up the darkness and causing Bai Qingsong to freeze.
A faint shadow of an Astral Soul appeared atop Bai Qing’s forehead. This Astral Soul emitted extre Yin energy and seed to be a spirit from the netherworld, while the halo around it shined with a pure golden color.
A pure gold Astral Soul. Its origin was definitely the 4th Heavenly Layer or higher.
“Rumble.” Bai Qingsong felt that his brain was shaken, suffering from a concussion as he gaped. The 4th Heavenly Layer, Bai Qing’s first Astral Soul was condensed from the 4th Heavenly Layer! This discovery caused Bai Qingsong to be thunderstruck.
He saw the Astral Soul being slowly retracted back into Bai Qing’s body, and instantly, Bai Qing seed to transform into a nether spirit, emitting an exceedingly chilling Yin energy that made Bai Qingsong shiver involuntarily.
“Excellent! you are my daughter indeed, but the Astral Soul you condensed, why did you pick a Yin constellation?” Bai Qingsong continued to shiver.
“I’m not unable to cultivate. I just listened to Wentian gege, who instructed not to absorb the Yuan Qi from Heavens and Earth so that I could increase my affinity to sense the Astral Constellations. Not only that, he taught the art of ditation, so I was able to do what Elder Sister did and sensed the Constellations originating from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. Because of my disappointnt towards you, I continued pushing my senses upwards. I had already stopped caring about life and death, and even if I died, I still had to continue upwards. My intention and will were supported by my emotions, and when I finally managed to sense the constellations in the 4th Heavenly Layer, I was no longer conscious. It was not I who selected this Constellation, but rather, it was the Constellation that had chosen .”
“Although Wentian gege and I have no blood relations, his kindness taught how to be happy and maintain a positive outlook. His smile was so clean and pure. But you, as my father, taught hypocrisy, betrayal, emotionless, and cold-bloodedness. What qualifications do you have to be a father? You are not worthy!”
After saying what she had to say, Bai Qing turned her back and walked out, leaving Bai Qingsong to stand there dumbly like an idiot as a sentence repeatedly played over and over again in his mind: You are not worthy!
Closing his eyes, Bai Qingsong felt a trace of regret in the innermost corner of his heart. He was thinking what could have been if he had not betray the Qin Clan by breaking the marriage proposal. Both of his daughter had such shocking talent, especially Bai Qing, who had condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. This was a miracle even when compared to the entirety of Chu Country. However, she did not wanted to acknowledge him as her father.
Three days later......
There was a forest region in the west of Sky Harmony City. In that region, a puppy with snow-white fur was chasing its tail, running in circles. Beside it, the body of a handso looking youth laid on the ground.
The snowy puppy blinked its eyes, and it speedily dashed forward, leaving the area. Several monts later, it returned, and not only that, two young ladies were following its lead.
“Little fellow, why did you bring here?” One of the young ladies was clad in a white robe. With beauty that could be comparable to fairies, it was as if she was not from the human world. She ran behind the snowy puppy, as she abruptly paused. There was actually a human lying on the ground.
The snowy puppy crouched beside the body of the youth, its puppy eyes staring adorably at the white-robed young lady with a look so cute that it could kill.
“Qingcheng, we have been chasing this little fellow all the way from the Royal Capital to here. And now, because of a corpse, it voluntarily ca to look for us.” Beside the white-robed young lady, there was another lady clad in green. She glared at the little snowy puppy as if she were extrely displeased.
“This little fellow seems to be teasing us. With its speed, it could obviously evade us if it doesn’t want to be found. What a naughty fellow.” Mo Qingcheng shook her head as she laughed bitterly. After doing so, she walked to the side of the youth and checked his injuries before stating, “He is unconscious because he suffered grievous injuries. Not only that, he has expended all his spirit, energy and qi.”
After her diagnosis, Mo Qingcheng withdrew a dicinal pill from inside her robes and placed it inside the mouth of the youth. Soon after, the dicinal pill lted, and the mystical healing energies started to flow into the youth’s body.
“Are you mad? That was a top graded 2nd-level dicinal pill!” The lady clad in green was dumbstruck. dicinal pills could be classified the sa way as Divine Weapons. A top graded 2nd-level dicinal pill was enough to cause cultivators at the Arterial Circulation Realm to go crazy over it. It was exceedingly precious.
“This must be fate; if not, we wouldn’t have t him. Nolan, there’s a straw house not far from here. Let us take a rest over there.” Mo Qingcheng carried the youth on her back as she spoke to the lady clad in green.
“Crazy, you have really gone crazy.” Nolan shook her head. If the people from the Chu Capital knew that Mo Qingcheng was actually carrying a male on her back, no one knew how great a commotion it would have caused.
And what was even more despicable was that during the trip, the hands of the youth were actually resting on the area in front of Mo Qingcheng’s chest. Occasionally, they would co into contact with Mo Qingcheng’s twin peaks, causing her face to redden, making her look even more alluring.
“What are you looking at?” The girl clad in green glared at the snowy puppy, who was following them by the side, before adding in a low tone, “This brat had the luck of the devil, enjoying such advantages even when he is unconcious.”
“Nolan, he doesn’t know anything yet, and this little snowy puppy seems to have spiritual intelligence. Now that we have saved him, as I said before, this could be considered a form of fate.” Mo Qingcheng bitterly smiled. She had never thought that she be in such close proximity with soone of the opposite s*x.
“If the ten prodigies of the Royal Capital were to find out about this, I reckon that even if this kid has a few more lives, that would still not be enough for him.” Nolan shook her head; she was very clear about the status of the suitors who wanted to marry the white-robed lady. However, Mo Qingcheng’s heart had never once been moved by their attempts to woo her.
The two ladies arrived at the straw house, which was situated in an open area inside the forest region. It was a picturesque location, and there was even a creek beside it. Nolan was nursing the burning anger in her heart, but her anger soon turned into astonishnt as she witnessed the snowy puppy holding a few stalks of dicinal herbs in it’s mouth, walking back together with Mo Qingcheng. “This little fellow is actually able to find spiritual herbs?”
The snowy puppy increased its speed as it shot forward, quickly arriving at Nolan’s side and tilting its head. Nolan rolled her eyes upon seeing hints of provocation in its eyes.
“Arrogant bastard.” Nolan scolded in a low tone, but she was secretly amazed. Mo Qingcheng walked by and smiled. “I told you that it had spiritual intelligence, but I don’t know what type of demonic beast it is. No matter how hard I try to persuade it, it refuses to follow . It even led us to such a place.”
“Let boil the spiritual herbs.” Mo Qingcheng moved towards Nolan, who moved aside, relinquishing her position. The snowy puppy pranced about the straw house before lying down on the body of Qin Wentian. It only awoke after the spiritual herbs were fully boiled. Mo Qingcheng fed the dicinal extract to Qin Wentian.
Nolan deeply glanced at Qin Wentian, feeling bewildered in her heart. How could this fellow be so lucky that the most beautiful woman in the entirety of Chu Country would carry him on her back and feed him dicine?
TL Note:
Mo is a surna, Qingcheng ans a won so gorgeous that she could topple kingdoms.
