Chapter 1371: Tenderness
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Unaging Immortal Mountains was in the center of three major powers of the eastern regions - near the Thirteen Prefectures, Paragon Sword Sect and Taihua Immortal Dynasty. It was still extremely famous as after all, it was an emperor-ranked power.
But because the Unaging Immortal Emperor was merely an initial-stage emperor, he didn’t have much influence when compared to the other hegemons of the eastern regions. But even so, immortal emperors were rarely seen existence, and even in the perspective of the entire immortal realms, although there are a number of emperors, they were still existences who stood at the absolute peak.
Any immortal emperors were able to become the tyrants of an area, lording over everything.
On the Unaging Immortal Mountains where the Unaging Immortal Emperor was at, it was located at the external boundaries of all three territories. But despite it being so, his fame had spread throughout. There were some disciples of the Thirteen Prefectures, Paragon Sword Sect and Taihua Immortal Dynasty who were talented in pill concoction, choosing to head over to the Unaging Immortal Mountains to improve their craft.
In the eastern regions, the Unaging Immortal Emperor could be considered a character standing at the pinnacle of pill concoction.
During these days, the Unaging Immortal Mountains was exceptionally lively. Under the mountain, numerous experts came to learn and among them, leading characters of many major powers could be seen. They weren’t all people of the mountain but their disciples and descendants are currently cultivating in the Unaging Immortal Mountains.
The Unaging Immortal Mountains would organize a pill concoction banquet every ten years, where the kin of disciples and other major powers might come to attend.
Hence, during this period of time, the mountain was exceptionally lively. Usually, the peaks of the Unaging Immortal Mountains were very quiet but today, this place was bustling with noise and life everywhere.
On a certain mountain peak, the friends and families of the disciples came by but the courtyard Mo Qingcheng was in, was extremely quiet. She was alone, and in the midst of concocting pills, revising the formula again and again.
"Junior sister Qingcheng." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Mo Qingcheng extinguished the flames and walked out. "Senior sister."
"Junior sis is here alone concocting pills again? Although the pill concoction banquet is about to start, there’s no need for junior sister to strive so hard, right? It’s rare for it to be so lively here, let’s go out for a walk." That woman smiled.
"I hope that I would be able to perform better at the pill concoction banquet and wouldn’t cause master to be disappointed." Mo Qingcheng faintly smiled.
"Master favors you heavily, it’s no wonder you wouldn’t want to let master down. However, right now there are many sisters there basking in the atmosphere. Why not go out for a walk?" The woman laughed.
Mo Qingcheng pondered for a moment before she nodded, "Sure."
"That’s right then." That woman laughed. After that, the two of them went out and came to a place where there were several people who already gathered there. Mo Qingcheng furrowed her brows, there seemed to be too many people here? In fact, there were even disciples from the other peaks who sought to pursue her.
At the Unaging Immortal Mountain, she only wanted to focus fully on her cultivation and didn’t want to be involved in any other matters.
"Junior sister Qingcheng is here." A young man stared at Mo Qingcheng as a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. Ever since Mo Qingcheng came to this place, the title of number one beauty had instantly been shifted to her. In addition, her talent for pill concoction was very high and she had high attainments in that as well. She naturally would become the target of envy by many.
Among the people here, there was some extremely outstanding heaven chosen too. For example, the young man before him was named Qiu Mo. He was highly talented in cultivation as well as pill concoction.
Mo Qingcheng’s expression cooled, she simply nodded her head.
"Senior brother Qiu, the banquet will soon start. Given your attainments, your performance later will definitely be extremely dazzling." The woman who invited Mo Qingcheng over earlier smiled happily.
Qiu Mo laughed, "There are several seniors that are more talented than me. But changing the topic, I’m sure junior sister Qingcheng will be able to display a brilliant performance at the concoction of sixth-grade pills."
"There’s another batch of people that just arrived, I wonder who are they relatives or friends of." At this moment, another group of experts appeared here. Some among them had very powerful auras. Clearly, they were from an immortal king power.
"Disciples of our Unaging Immortal Mountains are truly influential and have connections to everywhere. During these days, it’s unknown how many experts from the other major powers came over." Someone laughed.
"Yeah, in the past, we didn’t even know how powerful senior brother Qiu Mo’s clan is. Only when they showed up did we know. To think that there are so many immortal kings in your clan, how amazing." The woman who invited Qingcheng here praised loudly, causing many to nod their heads in agreement.
"Senior brother Qiu Mo also has such outstanding talent, easily becoming an immortal king. It’s only normal that his background is powerful. In fact, I heard that his clan is the lord of the city controlled by the Paragon Sword Sect." Another person laughed.
"Junior sister Ye Rou, I heard that your clan members arrived as well. There are immortal kings among them and your fiance is also an extraordinary character. Why don’t you bring them here so everyone can mingle together? Or could it be that you are afraid someone would snatch away your fiance?" Qiu Mo smiled. Ye Rou was somewhat embarrassed as she smiled, "He is just someone who comprehended a trace of immortal king might, how can he be considered as an extraordinary character? But as for junior sister Qingcheng, she has already rejected many outstanding young men, saying that she is already attached. Most probably, her man must truly be an extraordinary individual."
"Senior sister." Mo Qingcheng shot a look at Ye Rou. This was none other than the woman who invited her here. She shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want to talk about such matters.
And as expected, there was someone who instantly replied, "That’s right, junior sis Qingcheng has rejected plenty of apprentice brothers already, including some extremely outstanding elites. According to logic, Qingcheng’s man should be a dragon among humans, a heaven chosen of the highest peak. However, for such an important event like this banquet, he didn’t even appear? What is going on? Or could it be that junior sis Qingcheng is lying to everyone?"
"He’s very busy with his cultivation." Mo Qingcheng calmly spoke.
"Very busy with cultivation? With such a beautiful wife like you, he doesn’t even appear at this important moment and chooses to continue with cultivation?" Qiu Mo laughed.
"Sister Qingcheng, you might as well just give up on such a man. Given your talent and beauty, there are countless that would wish to pursue you." A young man spoke. Mo Qingcheng’s expressions turned cold. Such words were considered extremely insulting to her.
The meaning of these words was telling her to give up on Qin Wentian and choose some other man?
"Everyone here is a disciple of the immortal mountain, please show some respect when you speak." Mo Qingcheng coldly stared at them. After that, she spoke, "Senior sister, Qingcheng bids farewell."
After that, she directly turned and left, causing many people to stand there, stunned.
Mo Qiu stared at the back of Mo Qingcheng. Even when Mo Qingcheng was angered, even though it was just her back view, she was so astoundingly beautiful. If he could somehow manage to obtain her...
"Still acting so proud because of master’s doting on her." Someone commented in a jealous manner
"I wonder who would be able to subdue this maiden." Someone else spoke in a low voice. Many young men were fantasizing about that. But sadly, Mo Qingcheng didn’t even have Qiu Mo in her eyes, let alone others.
Also, on the main peak, even for characters more outstanding than Qiu Mo, they all failed to gain Mo Qingcheng’s favor.
At this moment, Qin Wentian was at the foot of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, outside the sect.
He stepped upon the stairway and entered, there was someone there directing the guests. That person smiled, "Are you two here to root for your kin or friend for the pill concoction banquet?"
"Pill concoction banquet?" Qin Wentian had a look of bewilderment on his face. Upon seeing that, the person there spoke, "Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"I came here to visit my wife, she is currently cultivating in the Unaging Immortal Mountains." Qin Wentian politely replied.
That person guarding the entrance had a puzzled look on his face. If the wife of this person was cultivating in the mountain, why didn’t he seem to know anything about the banquet? He then asked, "Which peak is your wife at? What is her name?"
"I’m not very clear she peak she’s on exactly. The name of my wife is Mo Qingcheng." Qin Wentian spoke. The expression of the guard froze when he heard that. Mo Qingcheng was extremely famous here because she was the number one beauty of the Unaging Immortal Mountains. This guard had seen her once before and her beauty had stunned him.
"What’s wrong?" Upon seeing the expression of the guard, Qin Wentian asked.
"Is it true?" That person stared straight at Qin Wentian.
"The Unaging Immortal Mountain is an emperor-ranked power, can it be that I would be so audacious to come here and make trouble?" Qin Wentian smiled. That guard nodded. After that he spoke, "You can enter then, that path will lead you to where she is."
Qin Wentian glanced at one of the paths ahead and nodded, "Many thanks."
After that, he ascended the mountain together with Qi Yu. The scenery here was elegant, yet Qin Wentian had no mood to admire them. Since he had entered, he naturally directly soared up into the air, swiftly arriving at the top of a particular peak. He then swept his immortal sense out, searching for Mo Qingcheng.
"Qingcheng."
A voice suddenly rang out in the mind of Mo Qingcheng. Right now, she was in her room, leaning against the railing of the balcony, staring at the misty mountain as she daydreamed. This sudden voice caused her heart to pound violently. She abruptly turned about and saw a figure appearing before her, smiling at her as boundless gentleness could be seen in his eyes.
Mo Qingcheng’s eyes reddened but a radiant smile could be seen on her face. Walking forward, she leaned her head on Qin Wentian’s body as she hugged him, silently listening to his heartbeat.
"Qingcheng, I came to see you." Qin Wentian gently embraced Mo Qingcheng as he stared ahead at the beautiful scenery. Being united with a loved one, everything felt as beautiful as a painting.
They didn’t move, even time seemed to have stopped. After a long time, Mo Qingcheng inclined her head. Tear stains could be seen on her face, yet her smile was as bright as ever, stirring the soul of Qin Wentian.
"You entered the immortal king realm?" Mo Qingcheng gently asked. Qin Wentian once said that he would definitely break through to the immortal king realm and now, seeing that he was here to see her, this means that he has broken through, right? Such a young immortal king. Mo Qingcheng truly felt proud of this man whom she loved.
"Mhm. How do you plan on rewarding me?" Qin Wentian laughed.
Shyness flickered in Mo Qingcheng’s eyes, she then spoke in a low voice, "Naughty fellow, you can have whatever reward you want."
"Hmm, I have to think long and hard about it then." Qin Wentian smiled radiantly as he continued hugging this woman he loved. As they walked towards the railing, he stared at the scenery here as he suddenly sighed. It was like he could sense Qingcheng’s loneliness.
"Qingcheng, just being beside me is enough reward for me." Qin Wentian spoke softly.
"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng leaned against him. Right now, how was she like the proud maiden of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, exuding a cold beauty that rejects everyone? Her beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness as she stared back at the man she loved!
