Chapter 1674: Chapter 1706: Stirring Hearts, the Flutter of First Love
Qin Shuang was all smiles on her face, but in her heart, she was cursing.
Damn it, they just explored one treasure site and caused the Qin Family to lose an ancient divine corpse for no reason. If they were to freely explore, wouldn’t they end up taking away the entire Secret Realm?
Fortunately, the Family Head was farsighted and had set up restrictions at every treasure site in advance. With the unique method of the Qin Family, the formation patterns can be activated to teleport all cultivators within a hundred miles away.
These four individuals were acting too unsettling; she didn’t have the guts to let them continue exploring. Better to be safe and invite them into the family first.
Once they are in the Qin Family’s mansion, the Family Head will have a plan.
“Alright then, too much greed can be overwhelming. One corpse is enough for us to digest for a long time. We trouble the Immortal to lead the way.”
Li Xiaobai also smiled confidently, which made Wu Tianchou grind his teeth.
That face of getting advantages and still pretending to be modest really makes people want to beat him up. Of course, you need a long time to digest it, since you’ve taken away the entire corpse of the Giant Spirit God!
As for us, we worked so hard and only managed to get one or two drops of blood essence. These days, comparing people can really make one angry.
“Let’s go. I’ve long heard of the Qin Family’s reputation. Today is the perfect opportunity to see it.”
“Indeed, perhaps we might even see that First Miss of the Qin Family at the mansion!”
“And who knows which experts are on the martial arts contest stage; maybe we could win the beauty’s favor!”
The three Clan Leaders echoed in agreement; they hadn’t forgotten the main purpose of this trip. Discovering benefits in the Secret Realm is delightful, but the most important thing is to get on good terms with the Qin Family’s young lady, enter the Qin Family, and find a chance to approach Qin Tian, which is the best opportunity to act.
Having a master of a domain with experts surrounding him, a direct assault would be the dumbest way. It’s wiser to approach stealthily and assassinate without leaving a trace.
“Are you also here to participate in the martial contest to win the bride?”
“There are countless experts on that stage, so be careful.”
Qin Shuang seemed to be casually chatting, subtly inquiring about the background of the people in front of her.
“Naturally, at this critical moment, the young cultivators appearing in Abyssal City are either here to admire the Immortal or to marry the Immortal. Since ancient times, heroes have found it hard to overcome the beauty’s charm; of course, we have to give it a try.”
Wu Dazhuang said.
Wu Tianchou laughed sinisterly: “Just the thought of sparring with various forces excites me. I’ll make these rookies realize what a real gap looks like!”
“I see, Sister Xiufang is the most outstanding within the Qin Family. Not only is she talented and learned, but her cultivation level is also profound. Everyone believes Young Master Qin Ming is the first among the Qin Family’s younger generation, but in reality, Sister Xiufang is not inferior to him.”
“For the young masters aiming to marry into the Qin Family, it’s probably going to be quite difficult, but seeing the four of you in action is still an eye-opening experience.”
Qin Shuang smiled faintly. She was also a daughter of the Qin Family, of the direct lineage, but born of a concubine, with a lower status and slightly weaker bloodline than Qin Xiufang. She had not attracted much attention in Abyssal City.
“That’s indeed so; the martial arts contest stage is full of dangers, a true test, but that’s what I thought before. After witnessing Sister Qin Shuang’s impressive presence, I now believe she is not one bit inferior to Qin Xiufang.”
Li Xiaobai stared at Qin Shuang’s almond eyes and said word by word.
“Exactly, the eldest Miss of the Qin Family has a noblewoman aura that I don’t like. I appreciate Miss Qin Shuang’s wild nature. I believe, with time, you will become the female War God of the Abyss Domain!”
Wu Tianlong nodded in agreement.
Li Xiaobai nonchalantly came out with it: “Sister Qin Shuang’s cultivation is excellent, she’s beautiful, kind-hearted, and sweet-voiced. Her strategy in the Secret Realm makes her stand out among the prodigies.”
“I really wish to marry Sister Qin Shuang. I wonder who in this world would have such fortune!”
Their banter left Qin Shuang somewhat at a loss, her pretty face flushed. These were two young experts with incomprehensible cultivation levels; at least she had never seen such young geniuses. Now, there were two of them showing her favor, extending olive branches, which was something she had never seen before.
“It’s just a fleeting encounter; it’s overwhelming to receive the favor of two young masters.”
Qin Shuang lowered her head, and the speed of the warship increased considerably.
“No, no, when love lasts long, does it matter about day and night?”
“I feel an instant connection with Sister Qin Shuang. Today, upon entering the Qin Family, should I have the chance to meet the Family Head, I will surely talk about this matter.”
Li Xiaobai was full of empty chatter, serving up sweet talk and flattery.
“Please, young master, show some self-respect. The Family Head has already arranged a good match for Shuang’er.”
Qin Shuang’s head lowered even more, her voice as small as a mosquito, her usual heroic spirit vanished, replaced with a shy demeanor of a young woman.
Qin Bai and the others were dumbfounded; this Li Xiaobai was a seasoned player in love, with just a few casual words, he had stirred the heartstrings of their big sister. She had never lost her composure like this before.
“Ahem, ahem…”
Wu Tianlong was about to speak to intensify his efforts, but Wu Dazhuang stopped him, secretly transmitting: “Tianlong, your sweet talk is too greasy and awkward, not as smooth as that young friend’s. Better to say less and watch more; after all, you’ve lost in age, which isn’t your fault.”
Wu Tianlong: “…”
Having lived for centuries, it was the first time someone said he lost in age, but upon reflecting, it was true. For hundreds of years, he had been focused on cultivating hard and managing his family, never having time for romance; he indeed couldn’t compare to this Li Xiaobai in terms of sweet-talking.
Since they were all on the same boat, it didn’t matter who won over Qin Shuang; their ultimate goal was the same: to kill Qin Tian!
“Good match?”
“Sorry to be blunt, but besides Tianlong and me, no one is worthy of Miss Shuang’er.”
“I’m not targeting anyone; I’m just saying the younger generation in Abyssal City is trash!”
Li Xiaobai clasped his hands behind his back and said arrogantly.
“Showing off like the wind, always by my side, leaking with dominance.”
Wu Tianlong folded his arms, watching quietly as Li Xiaobai performed.
Wu Dazhuang whistled, turned away with Wu Tianchou, pretending not to hear. This foreign clan leader was truly trying his best to enter the Qin Family.
“Please, step aside into the mansion and rest for a while. Shuang’er will truthfully report today’s matters to the Family Head.”
Qin Shuang felt her pretty face burning as if on fire.
The cultivation within her body involuntarily circulated, forcibly calming her inner turmoil. The fluttering feelings from earlier lingered in her mind for a long time.
The warship, marked with the Qin family’s insignia, passed without hindrance, heading straight to the city below.
The group arrived outside the Qin Family estate.
Qin Shuang dared not look at Li Xiaobai and said softly, “Please, young masters, come inside and sit for a while. Servants will attend to you. Shuang’er will go find the Family Head first.”
