Chapter 376: Chapter 175: He Makes People Gnash Their Teeth, He Drives People Mad with Longing_3

"Senior Sister Man’Er is still following him."

Fu Manman laughed, "Though he is restless, he has a rare merit."

"What is it?"

"He doesn’t falsely fall in love with someone. If he likes, he truly likes." Fu Manman sighed, "A man who is both bad and good. He makes people grit their teeth, makes people obsessed."

She raised the corners of her mouth, "Qingyao, you are a good child, listen to me, stop following such a man, it’s not worth it, give up early and find a better man."

Luo Qingyao was listening intently, and suddenly laughed when advised to give up,

"If Senior Sister Man’Er gives up, I’ll give up too!"

Fu Manman gritted her teeth and thought, damn it, he’s not falling for it!

...

"I’ve chosen a good husband for our Qingyao."

Luo Tianyuan lay at the stern of a small boat floating among the clouds in the high sky, holding a wine gourd leisurely pouring wine into his mouth, with a touch of wine red on his face.

At the bow, an equally white-haired old man in a fisherman’s shirt sat, holding a bamboo fishing rod, casting the line into the cloud sea, fishing for who knows what. He was Ming Xuesong of the Ming Family, one of the twelve families of the Everlasting Realm alongside the Luo Family.

The two were longtime friends.

Luo Tianyuan was the current patriarch of the Luo Family, and Ming Xuesong was the elder of the Ming Family, plainly speaking just a retired old man of the family, appearing only when needed.

Ming Xuesong was very focused, his eyes fixated on the direction where the fishing line extended.

"In the past, you used to always talk about Ling Xian, now it’s always Qingyao on your lips. When Qingyao can hold her own, what else will you worry about?"

Luo Tianyuan squinted, "If Qingyao can hold her own, I won’t be the patriarch, I’ll come fish with you."

Ming Xuesong wasn’t impressed, "My little boat can’t accommodate you, the great immortal."

"Aren’t you curious about the kind of husband I’ve chosen for Qingyao?"

Ming Xuesong’s tone was calm, but his words carried undisguised critique, "Do you even need to think about it? If you really had good judgment, you wouldn’t have sent their parents to the Fallen Immortal Land of Evil Mountain. Knowing full well it’s the most dangerous place..."

Luo Tianyuan quietly gazed at the deep blue sky.

Ming Xuesong paused seeing him silent for a long time, "Didn’t mean to hit a nerve."

Luo Tianyuan lightly smiled, "Pain is good, it ensures one doesn’t forget." He threw the wine gourd at Ming Xuesong’s back, "You think you’re my best friend so you can see right through me? Old Ming, let me tell you. I originally refused to let them go to Evil Mountain. But... they told me, they represent the patriarch’s faction, had to take the lead to voluntarily go to Evil Mountain, only then others would follow, so they wouldn’t speak ill of me."

Ming Xuesong fell silent for a moment, "That’s why they have such excellent two children."

"Do you really not want to ask what kind of person I’ve chosen for Qingyao?"

Ming Xuesong turned to look at him, "First time seeing you so invested, eager to show off, huh."

Luo Tianyuan chuckled, "Because he is truly special."

"How special?"

"He is a very ambitious person."

"There are many ambitious people in the world."

"But if I say his ambition might provide a strong wake-up call to this drowsy world?"

Ming Xuesong: "You think so highly? What about his capabilities?"

"Though his ability is not low, capable of splitting open the Sword Domain of Guardian Sword Island with one slash. But I’m sure, ability is the least noticeable of his many excellent qualities."

"Split open that Sword Domain with a single slash?" Ming Xuesong’s calm expression finally shifted.

"Yes, just one slash!" Luo Tianyuan’s eyes were bright.

Ming Xuesong asked again, "Is he good to Qingyao? Since he’s the husband, that’s the most important thing, right?"

"I admit he’s impressive, but if I find out he harmed Qingyao, I’ll give him a beating, even if it costs my old life."

Ming Xuesong took a sip of wine, then tossed the wine gourd back, "Old man, you’re actually the one who’s hurt Qingyao the most."

Luo Tianyuan’s face seemed much older, with a bitter smile, "Yes, yes, you’re right. After Ling Xian takes over as patriarch, I’ll go to Evil Mountain, if I can’t find them, I’ll die there."

"Ling Xian? You plan to let Ling Xian take over? I remember, wasn’t she still wanting to venture out?"

Luo Tianyuan said, "She said, among the two sisters, at least one must stay at home to guard the legacy left by their parents. Since the younger sister aspires to explore the world, she will stay."

Ming Xuesong glanced at him, "Old man, instead of going to Evil Mountain to die, it’s better to protect the sisters’ dreams. Can you bear to see the elder sister sacrificing her own dream for the younger sister’s dream?"

"Of course not."

"I know nothing is more tragic than a dead heart. But you can’t let your heart die now, even if only one breath remains, you must hold on. The future will only be more turbulent. The Fallen Immortal Land of Eternal Night Snow Mountain will awaken in three to five years. Who knows how many will rise and fall."

Luo Tianyuan paused in silence, just about to speak, when suddenly, the fishing line in Ming Xuesong’s hand tightened abruptly, bending the rod into a crescent.

"Big catch!" Ming Xuesong’s eyes shone brightly, his aura shooting straight into the sky, "Help me steady the boat!"

Luo Tianyuan stood up, planted his feet firmly, locking the entire boat in space with a fierce sword force.

Ming Xuesong’s fisherman’s shirt shook continuously, producing mournful creaks of tearing.

The veins on the back of his hand stood out like little snakes wriggling around; with a muffled shout, he suddenly exerted force, the rod almost breaking but holding. The fishing line flashed a dazzling light amid the cloud sea.

Then, a colorful cloud carp with a tail flame that looked like a rain bow, burst out of the heavy clouds, leaving an arc of light behind.

Ming Xuesong reeled in the line, looked at the cloud carp hanging on the hook, and frowned.

"Something’s wrong."

Luo Tianyuan walked from the stern to the bow, took a look, only to see every scale of this cloud carp had grown in reverse, his expression changed instantly.

"Reverse scales?"

Ming Xuesong said in a deep voice, "Carp with reverse scales... indicates the passage of something ominously terrifying." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Luo Tianyuan immediately formed a sword technique, slashing towards the cloud sea ahead, after a moment, the cloud sea parted, and an aura leaked out.

He frowned and said, "Murderous aura leaking, this is... someone from the Slaughter Hall!"

Luo Tianyuan said, "The only one who can cause reverse scales on cloud carp, is her."

The two looked at each other, simultaneously shouted a name,

"Jiang Sha!"

"The Horror Cloud Sea over Jade Guardian Forest a while back was also her doing, right? What’s she doing in Changsheng Continent?" Luo Tianyuan’s brow was heavy, "Changsheng Continent has neither her enemies nor is a Killing Ground, she can’t be here to sightsee."

"Whatever it is, we need to notify the other forces to prepare."

"Yes."

Ming Xuesong smoothed the reverse scales of the cloud carp, threw it back into the cloud sea, then steered the boat back.
