บท 473: Chapter 259 Bossi's Intention_1
Returning to Thunder Emperor City, Qin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The city was practically covered in lights and decorations.
Even atop the city walls, every hundred meters or so, there was a huge silk red flower.
Inside and out, it was the same.
In a word, the whole city exuded festivity.
"No wonder the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, rich and powerful, has such efficient methods. With their financial influence, the whole Thunder Emperor City ends up working for them."
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and then went straight to the inner city.
Originally, he had planned to go directly to meet Ning Fengzhi or Qiandaoliu to tell them about the negotiations with the Aquipeia Forest.
But looking at the time of day, as it was almost midnight, he thought about it and decided to discuss this tomorrow instead.
So he made his way to Qian Renxue's courtyard.
At that moment, Qian Renxue was in the bathroom, lying in a milky white bathtub, her body hidden amongst thick bubbles, revealing only her small head.
She was humming a song, which showed just how excited and happy she was.
But the sudden appearance of a figure startled her.
"Who?"
Raising her hand, the bathwater shot out like arrows towards the figure in front, attacking furiously.
In her view, anyone daring to appear suddenly in the bathroom constituted an invasion.
Whoever it was, they were going to be shot full of holes first.
Ding ding ding ding.
But as the water jets reached the figure, they seemed to hit an impassive barrier, exploding instantly but not harming the silhouette at all.
"Xue'er, are you trying to murder your own husband!"
"If you attack me again, I'm going to spank you..."
Qin Xiao said with a mischievous smile.
At the same time, Qian Renxue could clearly see Qin Xiao's face.
"You really are the worst..."
Qian Renxue's face showed an expression of utter speechlessness.
She didn't expect Qin Xiao to have such a bad sense of humor.
"Everyday life needs a little fun, doesn't it?"
"You should be thankful that I'm someone who knows how to set the mood..."
Qin Xiao laughed nonchalantly and then pulled at his clothes, which naturally slid off.
"Ah, you..."
Seeing Qin Xiao now completely exposed before her, Qian Renxue became flustered, "This is the bathroom, you know..."
"Exactly, we haven't yet made any memories in the bathroom... Today's check-in will unlock a new achievement..."
Without waiting for a reply, he slipped into the bathtub.
Through the night into day.
As the morning sun began to rise.
Qin Xiao felt a tickle in his nose and opened his eyes to find Qian Renxue teasing him with a lock of her hair.
"Oh, being naughty first thing in the morning, are we?"
Qin Xiao said, about to enforce his authority right there and then.
"Wait, wait, I'm wrong, okay?"
Qian Renxue quickly pleaded for mercy.
It was too much for him, really...
"Didn't you say yesterday that you had matters to discuss with your teacher and your grandfather?"
Qian Renxue quickly spoke up, trying to divert Qin Xiao's attention.
"Indeed."
Qin Xiao listened to Qian Renxue's words and calmed down, "Then let's go together, meet Sect Master Ning and your grandfather, and then I'll take you to meet Er Long and Zhu Qing. You'll get acquainted with each other, and in a few days, we'll all enter the Qin family's home together."
"Mmm..."
At the mention of the Qin family, Qian Renxue gave a soft acknowledgment.
...
Upon seeing Qiandaoliu again, Qin Xiao noticed that his smile seemed a bit mischievous.
Even without a word from Qiandaoliu, Qin Xiao felt his gaze was blatantly meaningful, speaking volumes without sound.
It seemed to say, "Kid, from today on, I'm your grandfather..."
Looking at Qian Renxue by his side, Qin Xiao decided to let Qiandaoliu enjoy his laughter.
After all, hadn't he spirited away his most cherished granddaughter?
This was a substantial benefit, far outweighing any mere title, wasn't it?
On the surface, it was a loss, but in reality, a significant gain!
"Sect Master Ning, I called you and the Great Priest here to inform you that the Soul Beast King in the Aquipeia Forest has agreed to let humans continue Soul Hunting. However, they can only enter through the southeastern entrance, and the range of activity is limited to within three hundred miles. Another point is that you must remind the Soul Masters who enter not to slaughter soul beasts indiscriminately."
"That's very good," Ning Fengzhi's eyes shone, "Rest assured, I will strictly require every Soul Master who enters the Aquipeia Forest."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, "Also, regarding my wedding, I appreciate all of your efforts, Sect Master Ning."
"Hahaha..." Ning Fengzhi burst into laughter upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, "We're all family, no need for formalities. Helping you is helping myself, isn't it?"
Unlike Qiandaoliu's blatant "I'm your grandfather," Ning Fengzhi never adopted an "I'm your father" attitude, which Qin Xiao found quite reassuring.
"It's a pity, though, that Qinghe has disappeared without a trace; no one has been able to contact him. It seems he won't be able to attend your wedding," said Ning Fengzhi with a hint of regret in his voice.
Ning Fengzhi didn't notice that when he mentioned Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue's delicate frame visibly shuddered.
Qin Xiao, however, found it rather amusing.
For all of Ning Fengzhi's intelligence, he could never dream that Qian Renxue had been playing him for so many years.
The Xue Qinghe he had been longing for stood before him as Qian Renxue, and she was also one of Qin Xiao's brides.
But as the show must go on, Qin Xiao feigned a sigh, "Xue Qinghe and I go way back. While he may not be here, I believe that if he knows of my marriage, he will undoubtedly be very happy."
"Indeed."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "I'm sure he'll send his blessings from afar... "
