Chapter 1540 - 789: Innate Army
...
However, due to Yu Donghao’s unexpected recovery, the malice towards Yuhe Inn has significantly reduced. After all, the Yu Family was once Innate Cultivators.
Since ten years ago, even the descendants of the clan, especially the clan leader, have begun to regain confidence. Many hedonistic sons of the Yu Family have started causing trouble in the streets or flirting with girls without worry.
Now they have back-up. These hedonistic sons, especially the incompetent ones, cannot act so recklessly without the support of power.
Previously, the most arrogant clans in Baili City were the Situ Clan and the Xiang Clan. The Situ Clan had the most masters at the peak of Postnatal Realm, while Alchemist Lei was just a step away from Innate. The Xiang Family had leaders called "Xian Lang" for three generations. Baili City had a rule: in the battles of three generations, the oldest could not attack, but when one of the four clans had the Innate Army, these rules would lose their purpose because of their real strength.
All this did not greatly affect Qing Shui’s daily life. Qing Shui’s vision was not limited to Baili City. He looked out at the vast sky. Once he broke through to Level 4 of the "ancient enhancement technology," he would travel the Nine Great Continents. He would visit the most famous and magnificent places in the Nine Great Continents, learn fighting skills from the outside world, and chase the most outstanding Alchemists to experience the culture around the world.
However, he could only concoct the Golden Sore Ointment and was still far from Level 4. Nonetheless, Qing Shui was still content with his life. He cultivated and then spent half the day wandering around. Sometimes, he would purchase rare treasures with Qing Shi and Qing Shan. The only thing that brought Qing Shui down was when other young men tried to challenge him.
Since arriving at Qing Shui, he had been competing with all the more famous young men, so now someone dared to challenge Qing Shui again.
After breakfast, Qing Shui walked outside. Soon after, he "accidentally" met Yuhe. Seeing the mature and charming Yuhe, Qing Shui’s mood brightened up.
"You’re glowing, your smile is like a flower. Why are you so happy?" Qing Shui asked Yuhe with a smile.
Upon hearing Qing Shui’s compliment, Yuhe’s eyes smiled, and he reached out to pinch Qing Shui’s handsome cheek. "I’m free. When my husband’s family learned of my grandfather’s recovery, they proactively explained this to me!"
"Congratulations. In the future, you will find another ideal husband." Qing Shui said seriously, sincerely smiling.
Yuhe stared in a daze for a moment, then happily said, "Yes, of course!"
Qing Shui did not see the disappointment behind Yuhe’s happiness. It felt like a knife cutting open a wound. Yuhe quickly exchanged a few moments with Qing Shui and then said he had other matters to attend to before turning away.
Yuhe turned away. The moment he walked away, tears flowed uncontrollably. "When I know clearly that it’s impossible, why do I still hope to be with him? When I already know the ending, why does my heart still ache? He is like a Giant Dragon hibernating on the ground. He is destined to fly to the sky one day."
Yuhe did not know when he realized his heart was filled with Qing Shui’s shadow. Was it when he asked him? Or was it when he used his charm, with his sweet and bold compliments on him? Perhaps it was when he helped his grandfather regain his strength?
Yuhe felt confused. Now, he only knew that he would have an unforgettable feeling for Qing Shui. When he seriously said, "In the future you should find another ideal husband. Remember to invite me to your wedding," it was as if he could hear his heart breaking and feeling crushed. Qing Shui did not notice Yuhe’s strange behavior. If he hadn’t had a previous relationship with Shi Qingzhuang, he would have continued flirting with Yuhe and asked him to learn with him.
However, now all Qing Shui’s issues were focused on how to save Wenren Wushuang and Shi Qingzhuang. In the chaos, he subconsciously abandoned this thought. He sincerely congratulated Yuhe on soon finding the person she loved.
Qing Shui did not know Yuhe had changed a lot. At least he had some feelings for Qing Shui, the most possession in his heart.
Qing Shui was a simple man. The monogamy concept from the previous world was deeply embedded in his Spirit. Besides, Shi Qingzhuang was his first girl. It made him feel an inseparable feeling for him. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about having multiple partners or controlling a harem while wielding world power. He occasionally considered such lascivious matters. In reality, Qing Shui still couldn’t believe a mature woman like Yuhe, at least not now.
He thought of Yuhe, Shi Qingzhuang, and Wenren Wushuang. He would be happy to have any of them. If he wasn’t satisfied, it wouldn’t be considered real life. Instead, he would live in an absurd dream. Even though he had some connection with Shi Qingzhuang, it still had a long way to go to fully possess him.
If you don’t break it down when needed, there will definitely be consequences. He still hasn’t met the need for fickle behavior with any woman. It was a decision Qing Shui took a long time to make.
Qing Shui more than once wanted to go to Shi’s hometown to find Shi Qingzhuang. He even thought about proposing marriage at her doorstep, but Shi Qingzhuang was Situ Wufan’s fiancée. This was not the previous world. The perception of the Nine Great Continents’ people on this issue always made Qing Shui feel somewhat silent. If a girl was someone else’s fiancée or partner, then for another man to put his hands on them would be considered immoral.
