AST 1296 – Happiness Of A Family Reunion, Yiye Jiange Wants To Leave, An Opportunity That Belongs To Her And The Seven-Headed Crystal Beast?



“Father!” Qing Yan said happily .

Although she was an introvert, she was unlike Shi Qingzhuang . Because Shi Qingzhuang now had a daughter, she was a little different from how she was at the very beginning . She was more cheerful and was especially happy to be in a big clan like the Qing Clan .

“Yan`er, did you miss Father?” Qing Shui looked at his petite daughter who was like a little crystal princess and was unlike Qing Ming who would often get dust all over . Amongst all the kids, he was the most sorry-looking . No one knew what he did before he just came back .

“I did, every day . I thought I’ll only be able to see Father after I’ve grown up . ” Qing Yan wrapped her arms around Qing Shui’s neck endearingly .

“In the future, Father will come back once a month to visit . How is that?” When Qing Shui heard Qing Yan’s words, he felt a little bad . He knew that parents had a good influence on their kids, and there was no other way out . Therefore, the help that the Five Elements Divine Flags brought to him was immense . Unknowingly, he felt especially thankful towards that lady .

Putting aside being able to have a safety buoy, just in terms of being able to use this to spend time with his children and wives, Qing Shui already felt that it was a priceless and divine artifact . Some things don’t wait for people, for example, children growing up . If he didn’t see them while they grow up, even if he had all the means in the world, he wouldn’t be able to turn back time . All that was left would just be regrets .

“Really?” Qing Yan lifted her head and looked at Qing Shui with her eyes opened wide .

“When has Father lied to you? Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely do it . Come, let’s have a pinky promise . ”

Qing Shui smiled and then reached out his finger .

Qing Yan happily extended out her finger and hooked it with Qing Shui’s . “Pinky promise, not allowed to change for 100 years!”

“Alright, I’ll never go back on my words . They’re all witnesses, alright?” Qing Shui lowered his head to kiss Qing Yan’s cheek . This was her daughter, the product of the love between him and the woman he loved . Hugging her gave him a strong feeling of connection of the blood . Hugging her felt like he was carrying the most precious crystal in the world .

Qing Yan’s happy and crisp laughter rang out very far away . It was a very influential laughter .
Qing Shui put down Qing Yan and turned to take Qing Yu’s hand . Qing Yu pouted so much that she would even be able to hang a small bottle on her lips . She appeared so aggrieved as if she was on the verge of crying .



“Hmm? Who made our lass angry? Tell Father, I’ll help you teach the person a lesson . ” Qing Shui felt especially happy . People said that the greatest happiness was a reunion with the family . It was an elevation of the spirit, the purest happiness . Even sex couldn’t be compared .

Standing here, he wouldn’t feel lonely as being here was like his life’s harbor . This was home, a place which produces love . Everyone here was selfless, being able to throw away their lives for each other willingly .

After people had sex and gained enjoyment, if they were lonely, they would still return to their lonely state after the happiness . Sex without love was just a satisfaction of lust .

“It’s Father . You don’t even take a look at Yu`er after coming back for so long . ” As she replied, the lass’ tears fell down like a waterfall .

Since young, Qing Yu had been the most domineering . Qing Zun, Qing Yin, and even Qing Ming would give in to her . Furthermore, she had always been headstrong . As long as Qing Shui was around, she would always have him to herself . When Qing Shui carried two children, one of them was always her . If he were to carry one, he could only carry her .

Right now, after going one round, she still didn’t have her turn . Therefore, the lass was now angry .

“Come, let’s wipe away those tears . You’re already a big girl now, how can you still be crying your eyes out? It’s Father’s fault to have angered our Yu`er . How do you want Father to make it up to you?” Qing Shui wiped away her tears and said as he smiled .

“I want Father to spend more time with us this time around . ” Qing Yu’s big intelligent eyes shimmered as she said .

“Alright, since our Yu`er has spoken, I’ll have to agree . ”

Qing Yun had already seen Qing Shui earlier . Qing Long took Zhu Qing’s hand and walked up to Qing Shui . Qing Shui squatted down . Qing Long was the youngest and looked dignified and strong, just like a tiger cub . He was especially cute .

Qing Shui carried the little guy and got familiarized with him very quickly . It was only after that did he headed out to the hall with his family . Yiye Jiange, Canghai Mingyue, Huoyun Liu-Li, Di Qing, Hai Dongqing… All of them were around, except Mu Qing .

Luan Luan and Yuchang were around as well . Right now, Luan Luan was the strongest in the Qing Clan . Yiye Jiange and the other ladies had also gotten tremendously stronger and were all top notch existences, at least in the five continents .



Although they were powerful in the five continents, they were still a far cry from the experts in the Western Oxhe Continent . Therefore, Qing Shui prepared some things which could raise their cultivation . He had been saving medicinal pills and other things for them .

Qing Shui took out puppets, snacks, and other stuff to distract them first . Qing Bei, Qing You, and the others were all around and the hall was extremely lively . Everyone had a share . Qing Shui had plenty of good things in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal .

Looking at the many people in the Qing Clan, although Qing Shui didn’t give up on them, it was hard to raise the cultivation level of all of them . It would require a lot of time, even if it was to only make them reach the Martial Saint level . Of course, the ladies on the Portraits of Beauty were an exception . Qing Shui had seen their achievements previously and the talent in their bodies had yet to awaken .

Di Chen’s potential had awakened, so did Yu Ruyan when she was on the Western Oxhe Continent and the same went for Tantai Xuan . The others at the Qing Clan had yet to awaken but it wouldn’t be long before they do . It was because they were all now Martial Emperor level cultivators .

The children had good foundations and were also very talented . Therefore, they were off to a good start . Qing Shui wasn’t worried about the children’s cultivation in the future . The ones he was most worried about, was his mother’s cultivation, Shi Qingzhuang, Huoyun Liu-Li, Yun Duan, and the others .

Therefore, he would think all sorts of ways to help them push up their cultivation .

He would also do the same to the rest of the people in the Qing Clan . Qing Zi’s child, for example, would be much better . Although the child’s talent wasn’t that great, Qing Shui had helped him since young, and with his medical skills, it would be a lot easier .

Unknowingly, half a day had passed . Those who were supposed to cook went to cook and those who were supposed to take care of the children did so . Qing Shui stood up and walked over to Qing Yi .

“Mother, I don’t have news of him yet, but I’ll soon be able to go look for him . ” Qing Shui at the sat opposite of Qing Yi and said .

“There’s no hurry . What matters the most is your safety . We’ve lived for so many years without him . Right now, you’re indispensable to the Qing Clan, therefore, nothing else is important . All that matters is for you to be well . Only with this would then there be other possibilities . ” Qing Yi said seriously to Qing Shui . There was happiness in her smile . This was her son .

“Mother, don’t worry . Right now, there aren’t many who can hurt your son . But father should be somewhere else which I can’t head to for now . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“There’s no hurry . So many years have passed . Qing Shui, you can make the decision for yourself . You must think of the entire Qing Clan . You have heavy responsibilities on your shoulder and we can’t do anything to help you . ” Qing Yi sighed and looked at Qing Shui .

“I only hope that Mother and the entire Qing Clan is well . With these, I’ll have endless energy . ” Qing Shui said happily .

“Is it true that you’ll be able to return for a few days every month in the future?” Qing Yi clearly didn’t believe this either .

“I have a treasure which can let me travel between the two regions once a month . Therefore, I can come back once a month . ” Qing Shui wouldn’t hide this from his family .

“This is for the best . You’ll be able to spend more time with Mingyue and the others . It hadn’t been easy for them . You should stay for a few more days this time around!” Qing Yi was very happy to know that Qing Shui was able to come back once a month . Or rather, she was happier than anyone else .

…

“Master!”

“Since you’re back, you should spend more time with them!” Yiye Jiange’s beautiful brows frowned as she looked at Qing Shui .

“I missed you!” Qing Shui knew that calling her Master made her felt bad and he held up her hand .

Yiye Jiange’s beauty was one of transcendence, without a hint of an aura of the mortal world . Before her, Qing Shui always felt a little bit inferiority . This feeling of inferiority wasn’t related to power as this lady was one which would make one feel that she shouldn’t be tainted .

In fact, his relationship with Yiye Jiange had been set into stone . It was just that they didn’t have any overly intimate contact .

“Are you here to infuriate me?” Yiye Jiange let Qing Shui take her hand as she said angrily . Right now, she gave more feeling of being a reliant and delicate lady . Her transcendent aura was a little faint compared to before, but it was still powerful overall . This was especially when they hadn’t met for such a long time, which made it hard for Qing Shui to take action .

“How could I dare?” Qing Shui took her hand and walked around the Qing Clan . The Qing Clan was quite big and they could have a walk around .

“Qing Shui, since you can come back once a month, I might be leaving for some time . ” Yiye Jiange hesitated for a while and said to Qing Shui .

Qing Shui was stunned . Could it be that all ladies on the Portraits of Beauty would bring so much trouble? However, he still said calmly: “What’s wrong? Is it because you don’t like it here?”

“That’s not it . Qing Shui, don’t think too much into it . The Seven-Headed Crystal Beast told me that it wanted to bring me to a place to cultivate and it would be able to inherit the legacy of the Crystal Beasts, allowing it to truly become an Ancient Spiritual Crystal Beast, or even stronger . It had brought this up many times, but I can’t leave since you’re not around . Since you can now come back once a month, and the Qing Clan is quite powerful now, I’d like to go take a look with it . ” Yiye Jiange looked at Qing Shui and said with a smile .

“Oh, this is good news . I’ll bring you there in a few days . At the very least, I must bring you to that place . I’ll be assured that way . ” Qing Shui was wondering what was wrong, but this was a good news .

The Seven-Headed Crystal Beast was tamed by Yiye Jiange after it had evolved from the Six-Headed Crystal Beast . It would only recognize a person it viewed as pure as its owner, and it must be a very pure person .

Qing Shui could still clearly recall the scene when Yiye Jiange had tamed the Seven-Headed Crystal Beast .

“You can’t go there . It said that it has a unique ability which can only be used once and that can bring us to the place . Only after it received the true legacy of the Crystal Beasts would it then become a true Crystal Beast . ” Yiye Jiange shook her head and said .

“So that’s it!” Qing Shui frowned . He was afraid that Yiye Jiange might be in danger .

“Don’t worry, there’s no danger . ” Yiye Jiange smiled and gently pat Qing Shui’s forehead .

Qing Shui took her two beautiful hands . He was wondering how he could give her some assurance for her safety .

“The Crystal Beast said that it’s a place where it can receive the legacy, and there won’t be any danger . Moreover, I’ll get huge benefits and will get a great improvement in my abilities . ” Yiye Jiange said once again .

“I’m still worried . ” Qing Shui gave it a lot of thought before he said .

“It’s a secluded crystal palace and it’ll bring me there directly . It’s an ancient ruin . Don’t worry, the Crystal Beast now has a few more abilities and there’s no issue for me to ensure my life . Moreover, only me and the Crystal Beast would be able to enter because of the imprint which has been awakened on its body . Therefore, there won’t be any danger . ”

“Alright, but you must still be careful . ” Qing Shui knew that Yiye Jiange really wanted to go . In the end, he agreed, primarily because he knew that the awakened imprint was of no danger . This was one reason why he had agreed . If it was like some other ancient ruins, he would definitely go with her . This imprint was like heading to a treasure chamber, and thus it was something to be happy about .
