Chapter 1036: Chapter 569: Ah Qing Wants to Find a Husband for Shi Qingjun (Double-Length Chapter)

Every woman wants to look a bit better in front of the one she loves, perhaps without any deeper calculations, just like Liu Qingluo... merely wanting him to glance at her one more time.

Now, even Ah Qing, who has never been so much like a woman, harbors such a naive thought. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ah Qing looks at the reflection in the mirror, with a hint of blush in her eyes, her slender jade-like fingers tucking the strands of hair by her forehead behind her ear, revealing a face full of girlish charm.

"I never thought... I would show such an expression."

She tilts slightly to the side, the corner of her lips forming a smile that’s not entirely a smile.

Wanting to laugh.

But unable to laugh.

What does it mean to be toyed with by fate?

She tells Zhu Pingniang that her greatest aspiration is to find a man for her "good sister." Back then, she wanted to see Shi Qingjun make a fool of herself... after all, for someone as independent as Shi Qingjun, finding a man would be the greatest disrespect she could conceive.

Yet now, it’s unclear what Shi Qingjun is like, and she has already fallen first.

What right does she have to laugh at Shi Qingjun now?

Even more amusing is... the name "Ah Qing" she now uses, which originally should have been Shi Qingjun’s. In some sense, indeed, she has found a romantic interest for "Shi Qingjun."

Uh oh, Shi Qingjun turns out to be myself.

Ah Qing places a finger between her brows, unable to hold back a sigh.

So... is this considered as bringing misfortune upon herself?

It should be, right?

But there’s no way around it. Even knowing that it’s pathetic, she still wants to look as best as she can. At least... at least to leave a good impression on the young master. Even if he doesn’t remember her, it’s alright; after all, they’ll definitely meet again in the future.

After all, as long as Xu Chang’an remains in the Cultivation Realm, he will inevitably have dealings with the Demon Sect.

Ah Qing thought about it and felt that if she could leave him with a lasting impression today, then at some point if Xu Chang’an learns that the dancer he once met is indeed the lady from the Demon Sect Holy Mountain...

What expression would he have?

It would certainly be interesting.

And if she were fortunate to become friends with Yun Qian—

His wife’s friend is the Mormon Sect Leader?

Looking forward to Xu Chang’an’s reaction would be even more exciting.

Banquet hall.

After Zhu Pingniang extricates herself from the embarrassment of being attracted to Xu Chang’an, she shifts her focus to the audience below.

She finally speaks up:

"Ah Bai, don’t you think... it’s quite unfitting for me to have raised a half-demon daughter?"

"Unfitting?" Li Zhibai shakes his head: "What’s unfitting about it? As long as it’s something you like, it fits well."

"...Ugh."

Zhu Pingniang clicks her tongue, sometimes her Ah Bai, like Yun Qian, can inexplicably say words that stir the heart.

Li Zhibai pauses for a moment.

Actually, she doesn’t really want to bring up the half-demon matter; Wen Li in front of her is a half-demon, and those memories hold nothing worth mentioning for Wen Li.

She then says, meaningfully: "Being half-demon doesn’t matter; it’s just that since you’ve given her a stable place, it’s best to do the best you can."

Often, for people like us, if we’ve given hope, let’s see it through.

"You can count on that." Zhu Pingniang replies with a smile: "I’ve already made detailed arrangements for Ah Qing’s matters... life, whether it’s earning silver as Qingyi, or even..."

Even having another half.

"Isn’t it all well planned?" Miss Lu murmurs from the side: "Clearly, both you and I are still single, yet you’re already arranging a partner for Ah Qing."

Miss Lu’s tone carries a bit of jealousy.

"???" Zhu Pingniang is baffled, then asks in surprise: "Lu’Er, how do you know I arranged a match for Ah Qing?"

Yun Qian: "...?"

Miss Yun unexpectedly opens her eyes.

Arranged a match for Ah Qing?

This doesn’t sound right.

Ah Qing’s Karma Line was tied to her husband by her own hands... even if she can’t become a concubine, at least she should be from the ’Yunqian Faction,’ but unexpectedly... someone else seems to be interfering halfway?

Stealing someone from Miss Yun?

Only to hear Miss Lu nod: "Huang’Er has been close to Ah Qing, and based on your recent arrangements, it’s obvious you intend to match them... quite a good setup."

Zhu Pingniang blinks, pouting: "You’ve really seen through me... Yes, I think those two Ni Zi pair quite well, aren’t they usually dubbed as ’the green and yellow don’t connect’? If they succeed... it’ll also make for a great tale."

Zhu Pingniang pauses in her tone, then says: "Ah Qing once told me that her wish was to find a partner for her deceased sister... she said it casually, but I took it to heart."

Since Ah Qing has such an idea, it means she also longs for a better half, so that’s why Zhu Pingniang intentionally or unintentionally tries to match Ah Qing with Huang’Er.

"Hope you’re not randomly pairing them." Miss Lu lightly sighs, knowing full well that Ah Qing likes Xu Chang’an... but then again, many people like Xu Chang’an; one more or less doesn’t matter.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Wen Li: "..."

Listening to the conversation between this pair of mother and daughter, they glance at each other without speaking.

It should be admiration.

It’s hard not to admire the renowned Fairy Tongjun of the Immortal Sect, now able to consider to such extent for the future of her daughter, even Li Zhibai can’t utter a single bad word.

Only Yun Qian at the side wants to say something but doesn’t open her mouth.
