Chapter 279 Mu Qinglian's Feelings
" Young Lady… Young Lady Mu…"
" What is it, Ling'er?"
" Someone wishes to meet you, Young Lady."
" Didn't I say? I am not going to meet anyone today." Mu Qinglian spoke in an annoyed voice. " Tell them I am cultivating."
" Ara~ I didn't know Saintess Mu could blatantly tell a lie like this."
Mu Qinglian's body shivered when she heard the familiar voice. " Elder Meng, I am not in a good mood right now. So, it would be better if you leave right away."
Meng Zhi chuckled when she heard that. " Ah, Such a cold tone. You learned that from Elder Sister Xia, didn't you."
Mu Qinglian sighed, realizing this seductress wasn't going anytime soon. " I…Haah…Big Sister Meng, You know I am angry right now, no?"
" You are angry? For what?" Meng Zhi sat before Mu Qinglian sigh a small smile. " Angry because I slept with Long Ming?"
" Yes."
" But why?" Meng Zhi rubbed her chin, becoming thoughtful. " I mean, Why would you? You are simply his senior sister, No?"
" I… No! I am not!" Mu Qinglian couldn't help but get chided.
" Anyone knows?" Meng Zhi looked at Mu Qinglian. " Anyone knows that you love Long Ming romantically?"
" I…I told him about that though…" Mu Qinglian's voice turned small. But then she gazed at MenG Zhi. " But, Isn't that inappropriate? For an elder like you to…engage…with such things…with a disciple?"
" Who made such rules. I don't think there are any rules like that here?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips. " Not to mention, Long Ming's title of True Disciple is similar to the positions of Elders."
" But just why?"
" Why not?" Meng Zhi shrugged. " He already helped me a lot. So, In return, I gave him a gift. It's not like I forced him to sleep with me? Both of us consented."
" Let me ask you again, Qingqing, Why are you angry?" Meng Zhi looked at her. " Ah, So you are thinking him as your prophesied husband, hum?"
Mu Qinglian bit her lips when she heard that. " Yes! I thought so! So what?!"
" Well, The problem is.." Meng Zhi chuckled. " You didn't tell Long Ming about that, did you?"
" Qingqing, You always tries to suppress your feeling, appearing cold to outside. Due to that, you didn't conveyed the feelings of your heart to Long Ming."
" How could he know about your feelings if you don't tell him? He isn't a roundworm in your stomach."
" I… I just felt…"
" You felt he naturally belongs to you, no?" Meng Zhi shook her head. " Just because you heard that men chases after women, you thought making Long Ming confess to you first."
" However, you forgot one thing. Long Ming isn't just any ordinary man. His charm, his capabilities, his talent, everything he possess was simply too high."
" With a flick of his finger, any woman would fall for him. For such a perfect man, it would be women who compete with each other."
" Now, If you remain cold towards him, why wouldn't he go after others, rather than coming to you?"
Mu Qinglian sighed as she lowered her head. Her eyes already glistening with tears.
" But…I just want him to love me…only me."
" Haah, It was indeed hard, Qingqing." Meng Zhi smiled bitterly. " Not to mention, he is someone who can't be sated with a single woman."
" Yet, I believe he never treated any of his lover badly. For any of his woman, he is willing to risk himself to save her. So, I don't believe he is being partial."
" Qingqing, Try to comprehend my words." Meng Zhi smiled. " Sometimes, It's alright to open up yourself. Sometimes, It's alright to convey your feelings to your loved ones."
" So, Don't try to shoulder all the burdens by yourself. You should try sharing it."
" I… I Understand, Elder Sister Meng." Mu Qinglian sighed. " It's just that…I feel Long Ming simply just can't walk with his pants on. Everytime he sees a beauty, he just goes after her."
" Well, I can't do anything about his nature." Meng Zhi shrugged. " Each person has their own flaws, right?"
" But he is too pervert."
" Ah, Yes. That's something I will admit." Meng Zhi grinned. " Actually, Your prophecy…I only remember a small part of it. Wasn't it the old scholar from Central Province?"
" Yes, It was him."
Mu Qinglian finally spoke what it was.
Heavenly Empress Crimson Sky prophesied about the great calamity and downfall of Four Seasons Valley, with a savior saving it in the end.
Similarly, years ago, when Mu Qinglian was newly appointed as the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, a famed daoist from Central Province visited Four Seasons Valley.
Due to the goodwill from Empress Crimson Sky's era, the daoist decided to help the Four Seasons Valley from some troubles. At that moment, Mu Qinglian was very curious, asking him about her marriage.
" Your love life is too unusual, Little girl." The amicable old man laughed lightly, rubbing his white beard. "It simply contains many ups and downs, like mountains and rivers."
" Your spouse has an otherworldly aura, a handsome young man transcending life and death. He will fall into your life like a meteor, and help you to lift your problems, like sun scattering clouds."
" However…I can also see a green line. I guess you are going to be pretty jealous…and probably, your spouse will have a lot of affairs other than you."
Meng Zhi laughed out loud when she heard Mu Qinglian reciting that daoist's prophecy.
" Haha, How true…He really guessed everything." Meng Zhi chortled. " However, I believe Qingqing is truly someone who lost quite a lot."
" Long Ming already tasted a lot of beauties, and you are still thinking about him."
" From now, start treating every girl as your competitor and try winning his heart." " So, Even you are my enemy, Big Sister Meng?" Mu Qinglian glanced at Meng Zhi.
" Why not?" Meng Zhi gave a sultry grin. " However, winning against me would be very hard, dear."
" Hmph, We shall see about that." Mu Qinglian pursed her lips before getting up.
" Thank you, Big Sister Meng, for clearing my thoughts. Now, I feel very light hearted."
" Since that's the case, Why don't you come to Blissful Heaven Temple with me?" Meng Zhi chuckled. " I am sure you can blow off some frustrations there."
" Tsk, Elder Sister Meng, You are quite devious, aren't you?" Mu Qinglian's lips curled.
" Very well, Consider this as Blissful Heaven Temple's bad luck."

Meanwhile, Long Ming was looking at the black orb with curiosity. ' Perhaps, the superior ingridients, the aura of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, and my luck, turned my natal weapon into something unexpected.'
' Does that mean I can easily feed it Imperial Weapons? Won't it make it more powerful?'
' Not to mention, I wonder what else it can absorb? Can it absorb people and extract their skills too? No…I don't think it eats living things…For now at least.'
" Alright, Dear…I shall give you a new name then." Long Ming held the black orb as he nodded.
" World Devouring Seal….You shall be called my World Devouring Seal."
Suddenly, the black orb shone with a dim radiance as it turned into a golden seal. With various intricate patterns embedded, in the middle, there was a black dragon whose mouth was open.
Turning into a ray, it entered Long Ming's body, resting in his divine sea.
' Now, Let's see my physique.'
Taking out the Sky Lightning Crown, Long Ming thought about starting his Minor Physique Tribulation.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
[ Ding! Constellation Great Crow of Dark Mystery is suggesting Host to not use it during the Minor Tribulation]
" Huh? Why?" Long Ming was baffled. " I believe it's going to be ten times stronger than an Imperial Physique Tribulation. How can I not use it if it guarantees my safety?"
[ Ding! Constellation Great Crow of Dark Mystery is shaking his head. He is saying that although it's very dangerous to cross the tribulation without the crown, it was worth it]
[ A tribulation is not only a punishment but also a way to temper the body, molding it according to the heavenly physique. If shortcuts are used, it's the same as having cracks in the foundation of a building]
[ Also, facing the tribulation will give you a deep insight, making the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physique more understandable]
" But I can't just risk my life like that?" Long Ming clenched his fist. " I don't have to take the harder path every time, do I?"
[ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mystery is chuckling. He is saying it's not like there is no way to cheat a bit]
[ He gives you a hint! If you can't bear the tribulation alone, then drag others into it. Sharing is caring after all]
" What bullshit are you…"
Long Ming was annoyed at first. However, his expression changed as he understood the hidden meaning behind the words.
" Hahaha! What a fucking evil idea…Yes, Why can't I do that?" Long Ming rubbed his chin with a devilish smile.
" Yeah…I believe the Sky Fountain Palace is going to be very troublesome. So…I can try ascending my tribulation there."
" Then, I guess I need to focus on my qi cultivation for now, yeah?"
[ Ding! Host finished the daily quest! Host gets 10,000 Credits!]
