Chapter 506 - 505: Mu Wanqing
Yiu Huatian was very unwilling.
His imperial ambitions had yet to begin, how could he die here?!
In his last remaining consciousness, there was a trace of shock and nine parts regret.
He was accustomed to being invincible and overbearing in his world, and upon suddenly ascending to the Upper Realm, he thought the people here would be stronger, but after easily killing a group of people, his confidence soared again. Considering that the Ascenders from his world were also extremely powerful, he realized that he might also be a top-tier strongman in this world, so he didn’t take the young Ding Ling seriously.
But who would have expected that Ding Ling would be so ridiculously strong!
"As expected of the Upper Realm..."
"If I had known earlier, I would have been more cautious and not chosen to make a move on that young man first. Being prudent and rational might have allowed me to survive this calamity peacefully!"
Yiu Huatian perished completely in his frustration and regret.
The last remaining glimmer in his eyes vanished entirely.
Mu Wanqing looked at Yiu Huatian, then at Ding Ling, her pretty face, radiant like a new moon and with the purity of snow on flower trees, was etched with bewilderment and helplessness.
"Sister Mu."
Zhong Ling flew off her horse, ran to Mu Wanqing’s side, grabbed her, sized her up for a moment, and said with a smile:
"You’re okay, that’s really great."
"How can you be so sure I’m alright?"
Mu Wanqing came back to her senses, her face cold as she said:
"And..."
She looked at Ding Ling with a complicated expression:
"Just now, the one who saved me was?"
"My Brother Ding."
Zhong Ling’s dimples appeared on her pretty face:
"His name is Ding Ling. We’re quite a match..."
She was chattering away.
But Mu Wanqing felt annoyed and confused, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
She was initially very surprised and shocked to see Zhong Ling being so intimate with a stranger! It was unprecedented!
Even with that bookworm Duan Yu, Zhong Ling was at most friendly and fond.
But seeing her with Ding Ling, the two clearly had feelings for each other, especially Zhong Ling, showing an infatuated look towards Ding Ling. Mu Wanqing saw this, her heart stirring, unable to remain calm.
She listened to what Zhong Ling said.
Feeling both envy and jealousy.
If Zhong Ling was not exaggerating, this Brother Ding of hers was too outstanding, too perfect!
Recalling the scene where Ding Ling easily defeated and killed Yiu Huatian, Mu Wanqing felt a sense of panic, apprehension, and unease. She had initially thought of threatening Ding Ling a bit.
But now she dared not.
She let out a long sigh.
Zhong Ling tilted her head in confusion:
"Sister Mu, what’s wrong?"
"You tell me what’s wrong?"
Mu Wanqing walked to the side, picked up Yiu Huatian’s Treasure Sword, glanced at Zhong Ling, then around at the surroundings, finally looking at Ding Ling and Yiu Huatian, and suddenly placed the sword across her neck.
"Ah!"
Zhong Ling reacted quickly, darting forward, grabbing the sword tightly, her delicate hand bled, her pretty nose wrinkled with pain, as she whimpered:
"Sister Mu, what are you doing!"
"Let me go!"
Mu Wanqing didn’t answer, scolding Zhong Ling:
"Stay out of my business!"
Zhong Ling looked at Mu Wanqing’s face, suddenly realizing:
"Ah! I remember now. Your master said if anyone lifted your veil and saw your face, you had to marry him, and if you couldn’t, you needed to kill yourself! Or kill the other party! Is it because of this?"
Mu Wanqing instinctively glanced at Ding Ling, blushed, and remained silent.
"This, this..."
Zhong Ling took advantage to take the Treasure Sword from Mu Wanqing’s hands, looked at Ding Ling, then at Mu Wanqing, and suddenly, bit her lip, and stomped her foot, saying:
"At worst, I’ll marry Brother Ding with you!"
"...!!"
Mu Wanqing was first stunned, then blushed like fire, saying:
"What are you talking about!"
"I must be with Brother Ding no matter what."
Zhong Ling seemed to see through her inner world, suddenly looked at Ding Ling, and nervously asked:
"Brother Ding, can I marry you?"
Ding Ling’s eye twitched slightly, this came too suddenly.
However, thinking of the ancients’ regard for purity, and the subtle changes in Zhong Ling’s mindset during this time, he slowly nodded under her expectant gaze.
Zhong Ling, a girl, was so brave and proactive, and he already had a fondness for Zhong Ling, how could he have a reason to refuse now?
"Brother Ding agreed!"
Zhong Ling cheered, turned, and hugged Mu Wanqing:
"Sister Mu, you don’t have to kill yourself. Now we can be together again."
"..."
Mu Wanqing felt extremely complex and tumultuous.
She was instinctively somewhat jealous of Zhong Ling, but thinking that Zhong Ling knew Ding Ling first, she had no right to be jealous, and couldn’t help but feel a bit aggrieved, yet Zhong Ling was willing to marry Ding Ling with her; such broad and generous mentality she absolutely didn’t have, and couldn’t help but admire.
However...
Mu Wanqing’s mind flashed the image of that bookworm Duan Yu.
She looked again at Yiu Huatian’s body.
Ding Ling hadn’t lifted his veil, but he truly was the first man to have seen her face!
And she couldn’t kill Ding Ling, nor did she want to, so she opted to kill herself.
But now she couldn’t even kill herself.
Was it really necessary to marry Ding Ling, whom she had only met once?!
Her emotions surged, high and low, one moment like terrifying waves, another like a complex labyrinth.
Her heart was in a constant state of turmoil and uncertainty.
There was not a moment of peace.
[Achievement Medal Earned: You have won 100% of Zhong Ling’s affection and deep recognition.]
[Note: Zhong Ling is innocent, simple, and romantic. Initially, she didn’t realize, but after realizing, she fell in love with you. In a moment of urgency, she blurted out her desire to marry you in order to save Mu Wanqing. After realizing, she knew she couldn’t take it back.
Upon receiving confirmation from you, her affection for you overflowed!
She strengthened her resolve to follow you for life.]
[Achievement Medal Earned: You have gained high recognition from Mu Wanqing.]
[Note: On the outside, Mu Wanqing appears fierce, cold, and aloof, but internally she is gentle and delicate. Having lived in seclusion for years, she has rarely interacted with men. Like a blank sheet of paper, she is inexperienced and has clear distinctions between love and hate.
You saved her. Also, you were the first to see her face.
Initially, she was unwilling to marry you and didn’t want to kill you. Unable to kill you, she then intended to kill herself. Now persuaded by Zhong Ling, her emotions are still in turmoil and turbulent!]
Ding Ling paused slightly after hearing this, but didn’t think much, just waited for Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing to finish talking, then dismounted voluntarily, letting the Ferghana Horse be shared by the two of them.
His Lightweight Skill was high, and True Qi flowed continuously. Traveling with Lightweight Skill was much better than riding a horse.
Mu Wanqing was still unsure, thinking Ding Ling was showing her special care, her heart softened, and her thoughts of suicide faded a little.
