Of course I don’t like him.” Canghai Mingyue was speechless.
“Actually, emotions can slowly be nurtured after marriage…” Qing Shui spoke like a wise man as he nodded his head to Canghai Mingyue.
After a certain amount of silence, Qing Shui broke out laughing, “Okay, I will stop teasing you. Tell me what I should do, how can I help you? Would our pretty Miss here be more gentle to me, and take pity on this little guy here, okay?”
Canghai Mingyue, “…”
Canghai Mingyue discovered that she was totally helpless in front of Qing Shui. How many years had it been since someone dared to be so impolite to her? This brat’s mouth dared to say anything.
Huoyun, at the side, giggled non-stop. She caused Canghai Mingyue to feel even more bashful.
“Tomorrow, you would pretend to be Sister Mingyue’s hubby. We will just say that both of you are already married. This way, the guy should stop his fantasy.” Huoyun Liu-Li giggled.
Canghai Mingyue asked Huoyun to be by her side today just so she could say that!
“Relax, but how should I address you? Mingyue, Yueyue, Beloved Waifu, Honey, Dear…” Qing Shui snickered as his thoughts ran wild.
The moment Canghai Mingyue heard the words ‘Yueyue’, she was totally unable to show her face. That next sentence of Qing Shui kept resounding in her mind. “Yueyue, let’s go. It’s time for our baby to drink milk!”
“I don’t care what you address me as, but you better act the part well. You are also not allowed to take advantage of me.” Canghai Mingyue breathed heavily as she gazed at Qing Shui.
“Oh, hmm… then there’s gonna be some difficulty. If we don’t appear like a couple, it’s impossible to get the guy to believe, right?” Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he stated seriously.
“Then… you are not allowed to be too cheeky.” Canghai Mingyue blushed again as she lowered her head.
“Yueyue, maybe we should think about how you would address me to make him give up the idea of pursuing you.” Qing Shui added.
“Hmm… Hubby?”
“Yes? Did Yueyue miss me?” Qing Shui snickered.
Mist clouded Canghai Mingyue’s eyes as she hurried pulled Huoyun and left the room.
As they left, Qing Shui bitterly smiled as he stood at the windows, gazing at the departing back views of the two beautiful girls. Who would have thought that Canghai Mingyue would make such a request of him?
These kind of “harming others but no benefits to oneself” things weren’t things he would do usually. After all, Canghai Mingyue wasn’t his woman. Despite so, they were still friends, and ultimately, he still decided to help her.
In the afternoon, Qing Shui lazed about in his room and finally took out the Ferocious Tiger Departing the Mountains Portrait to hang it up in his room. Qing Shui laid on his bed and meticulously analysed the portrait.
Although he had already reached the Great Perfection Stage for his Tiger Form, Qing Shui discovered that there were still improvements to be made. Akin to his Deer Cantering Technique, practicing his Tiger Form despite it already being at the Great Perfection Stage would still enable him to gain increments in his attributes. Qing Shui wondered what came after the Great Perfection Stage. Could it be that his Great Perfection Stage wasn’t the real level? Only the stage after his current status could be considered the genuine Great Perfection Stage.
Qing Shui spent the entire afternoon studying the portrait, as well as the formless aura the tiger in the portrait seemed to emit. He immersed himself in the concept of the painting.
At night, Qing Shui learnt that the Canghai Couple also agreed to this. After all, they didn’t want to force their daughter. If his bosom buddy really came, Canghai would also find it difficult to reject him. After all, they had a friendship over several decades.
“Qing Shui, be careful tomorrow. That little guy is a 8th grade Xiantian expert. He would definitely challenge you. Do you have confidence?” Canghai inquired.
Upon hearing the words of Canghai, Qing Shui frowned. A 8th grade Xiantian expert was someone on the level of Skysword Sect Sovereign, Gongsun Sanqian. Qing Shui sighed. Why were the friends of Canghai so powerful? Even their descendents had this level of might. All these made Qing Shui even more curious about Canghai.
“What happens if I injure the guy tomorrow?” Qing Shui smiled in response.
“Hmm, as long as you don’t kill him, injuries don’t matter.” Canghai sighed.
This reply caused Qing Shui to be slightly stunned. It seemed that matters weren’t that simple as shown on the surface.
However, Qing Shui also knew that if his opponent was at the level of Gongsun Sanqian, he wasn’t that worried. After all, he had his hidden weapons, the Big Dipper Sword, and his mastery over the 3rd waves of the Nine Waves Great Golden Palm…
