Chapter 1511 - 1488: First to Seize the Opportunity
Zhou Qingling was the eldest young lady of the first-tier Zhou Family. Her talent and strength in martial arts were both extremely strong; she was practically the apple of the Zhou Family’s eye, and there wasn’t a single upper-echelon member of the Zhou Family who didn’t dote on her.
To the Sword Family, Zhou Qingling was a living goddess!
Even the Sword Family’s Patriarch, Sword of Impermanence, didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect toward Zhou Qingling!
"Miss Zhou, please don’t be angry, we don’t mean anything else by this. We just purely want to help you teach that despicable bastard Ye Huan, who’s impersonating the Huaxia Dragon Son, a lesson!" Sword of Impermanence’s aura vanished completely, and he secretly waved his hand behind his back, signaling everyone to cool down, not to rush, and to watch how he handled this first.
After doing all this, Sword of Impermanence gave an awkward smile and said, "Miss Zhou, here’s the thing. You’re probably still being kept in the dark by that scumbag Ye Huan, right? In fact, he’s not the Huaxia Dragon Son at all, he’s just a piece of trash with extremely thin bloodline!"
"He is the Huaxia Dragon Son! Your Sword Family just doesn’t have eyes, fine, but don’t drag me down with you!" Zhou Qingling cursed them out, burning with rage.
Zhou Qingling practically had the urge to slap this bunch of Sword Family idiots to death.
You had to know, she’d come to the Sword Family this time together with Sword Junlin!
Now that the Sword Family had offended Ye Huan, if Ye Huan misunderstood and thought she had some kind of connection with the Sword Family, not only would she be screwed, the entire Zhou Family might end up getting dragged into disaster because of this!
The Sword Family group didn’t know any of this; they broke into a cold sweat on the spot, never expecting Zhou Qingling to be this stupid.
To actually be fooled by Ye Huan’s sweet talk to this extent.
Looking at this, Zhou Qingling clearly believed Ye Huan’s lies with all her heart!
"Qingling, you really have been duped. Ye Huan is absolutely not the Huaxia Dragon Son! The real Huaxia Dragon Son is actually a friend of my Ling Family!"
"Qingling, I know you want to curry favor with the Huaxia Dragon Son, but after all, the one you truly love is me, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t have come to the Sword Family with me!"
Sword Junlin suppressed the fury of being cuckolded and forced a dog-licker’s fawning smile onto his face: "Since that’s the case, just obediently come back into my arms. In the future I’ll definitely become one of the core warriors under Lord Dragon Son’s command. When that time comes, I’ll absolutely promote you..."
"Ridiculous!"
Before Sword Junlin could finish, Zhou Qingling let out a sneer of contempt and cut him off on the spot.
Zhou Qingling was panicking inside. Love Sword Junlin?
If Ye Huan really believed Sword Junlin’s bullshit, how was she supposed to seduce Ye Huan?
Never mind seducing Ye Huan, he might even directly assume she was on the Sword Family’s side.
Zhou Qingling was flustered. If things really went in that direction, the Zhou Family was done for!
"Young Master Ye, you must absolutely not believe Sword Junlin’s bullshit. I don’t have the slightest bit of feelings for Sword Junlin; I purely treat Sword Junlin as a simp!"
The more Zhou Qingling thought about it, the more scared she got. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and directly dropped to her knees, hugging Ye Huan’s thigh, crying loudly: "I came to the Sword Family together with Sword Junlin only because I got word from a certain channel that you were coming to the Sword Family for a visit, so I wanted to come and pay homage to your mighty bearing!"
"I seriously don’t have the slightest half-penny’s worth of connection with the Sword Family. All that stuff they say about me and Sword Junlin this and that is pure delusional fantasizing. I’ve never once even given that simp Sword Junlin a proper look!"
"The only reason I didn’t publicly puncture the Sword Family’s delusional fantasies earlier was because I was worried you might have some unfathomable relationship with the Sword Family, and I was afraid that if I made things stiff with them, it would make you unhappy!"
"Young Master Ye, please don’t misunderstand me. I really, truly have nothing whatsoever to do with the Sword Family!"
Zhou Qingling was practically begging, pleading with Ye Huan not to misunderstand!
In reality, what did any of this have to do with Ye Huan?
Ye Huan didn’t care about any of this at all.
Instead, it was the Sword Family, all of them were instantly dumbfounded when they heard Zhou Qingling’s words, collectively stunned on the spot, their minds in chaos in the night wind!
As for the man involved, Sword Junlin, his entire body trembled; his heart chilled to the core. In utter disbelief, he rushed forward, grabbed Zhou Qingling’s shoulders, shook her repeatedly, and roared, "Qingling, tell me this isn’t true, tell me you’re talking nonsense! You actually love me, you’re just being forced by Ye Huan to say these things, right!"
"Bullshit! Sword Junlin, stop being so full of yourself!" Zhou Qingling directly flung Sword Junlin off, her finger slashing sharply through the air twice as she furiously scolded the Sword Family: "You people in the Sword Family have offended Young Master Ye to death, that’s your own damn fault. Don’t you dare try to pin it on me, Zhou Qingling! I have nothing to do with any of you, and stop daydreaming about me as some kind of Sword Family young madam. I’m declaring right here and now: Sword Junlin is not worthy of my liking!"
"The man I want must have a towering figure, god-tier looks, heaven-defying talent, and a top-tier identity! He has to be a super freak who qualifies for me to chase him instead!"
"Sword Junlin is literally just a simp who only knows how to fawn and grovel. The kind of man I look down on the most in this lifetime is exactly that kind!"
"And another thing, I’ll say it again: Sword Junlin and I came to the Sword Family solely to pay respects to the Huaxia Dragon Son—Ye Huan!"
Every one of Zhou Qingling’s sentences landed like a loud slap in the face, making the Sword Family group’s cheeks ring with the sound of smack after smack!
Outside the house, all the younger members of the Sword Family lowered their heads, faces flushed red. They really had been fantasizing about Zhou Qingling becoming the Sword Family’s young madam, arranging for an alliance between the Sword and Zhou Families, letting the Sword Family reap the benefits and then letting themselves get a share of the spoils.
Who could’ve known that Zhou Qingling had absolutely no interest in Sword Junlin!
She didn’t like Sword Junlin at all!
Not only did she not like him, she even looked down on him!
It was as if, in Zhou Qingling’s heart, Sword Junlin was nothing more than a clown!
"Damn! I actually thought Cousin Junlin was badass enough to win over the Goddess Zhou, but turns out he just got his face slapped. The Goddess Zhou wasn’t here for Cousin Junlin at all!"
"Back to the point, what the hell does that piece of trash Ye Huan have that’s so great? How did he manage to trick Goddess Zhou into being head over heels for him?"
"Just tricking probably isn’t enough. Have you guys noticed how insanely handsome this Ye Huan is? He’s so damn handsome I feel like chopping him up. With that face, what woman wouldn’t like him?"
"She got mesmerized by Ye Huan’s pretty face? Is the Goddess Zhou really that shallow?"
"Why not? Otherwise how do you explain what Ye Huan used to win the Goddess Zhou over?"
"I’m seriously screwed by fate. The Goddess Zhou is the late-night fantasy target of countless Ancient Martial Artists in the Endless Deep Mountains. Countless people want to get a taste of the Goddess Zhou’s fragrance, but for so many years she’s never had any scandals with anyone, and now this bastard Ye Huan steps in shit-luck and manages to land the Goddess Zhou!"
"We rallied the power of the entire clan to cheer for Cousin Junlin, and in the end the one the Goddess Zhou likes was never Cousin Junlin, but Ye Huan instead, damn!"
"You can’t really blame Cousin Junlin. Cousin Junlin’s looks are already high-level; outside, he could at least rival first-tier male stars. But his looks still get utterly crushed by Ye Huan’s. You can only blame Ye Huan for being too damn handsome!"
Outside, the Sword Family disciples let out a low roar full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Zhou Qingling had both looks and talent, and her identity was extremely high-level. Whoever managed to win Zhou Qingling would save at least ten years of effort.
A whole bunch of outstanding monster-level Ancient Martial Artists had tried to win Zhou Qingling over, but they all lost to her cold and stunning face. None of them expected that in the end, it would be this "trash" Ye Huan who took the prize first!
