112: Hair tied up

“Chu Mengxuan?”

Qin Feng looked at Qin Yang, a meaningful smile on his face. “Young people are very open-minded. If the other party doesn’t mind, the process isn’t that important.”

He paused, then continued, “Besides, I’m not as upright as your father. If you can make it a done deal, we can completely take over the Chu family.”

“As expected of you.”

Qin Yang understood, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for Zhang Yi and the Imperial Guards to withdraw.

The personalities of the two brothers, Qin Chuan and Qin Feng, were completely different.

Qin Chuan was upright and heroic.

Qin Feng, however, focused more on benefits and efficiency.

Regarding the marriage alliance with the Chu family, he also wanted to maximize benefits and completely seize the initiative.

“It’s up to you.”

Qin Feng smiled at Qin Yang and turned to open the door.

“Uncle Feng!”

“Oh, here to play with Qin Yang?”

“Yup~”

“Then you two play. I need to go find your father.”

“My father is drinking with Uncle Chuan~”

Qin Feng, being tactful, found an excuse to leave.

Qin Yang looked towards the door.

He saw Chu Mengxuan striding boldly into the room.

Her hairstyle was still the fresh and playful bun, with two loose pigtails bouncing happily with her movements.

Her sweet face was beaming with an innocent smile; she looked like a soft target at first glance.

“Are you comfortable staying here?” Chu Mengxuan raised her hand in greeting and sat directly on the bed.

“Your guest room is a bit small.”

Qin Yang also sat on the sofa, his eyes in scanning mode.

Today, Chu Mengxuan wore a short qipao with red flowers and white leaves, two peonies perfectly designed on her chest, making her look full and vibrant.

The qipao was slit up to her thighs on both sides, revealing her shapely legs.

“Tsk.”

“She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?”

Seeing Chu Mengxuan’s attire, Qin Yang couldn’t help but suspect that this girl might not be as foolish as she seemed.

Otherwise, how could her outfits always perfectly align with his preferences?

Qin Yang’s gaze was unreserved, making Chu Mengxuan’s ears flush.

She subconsciously tugged at her qipao, as if to withdraw her 'benefits', and said, “Um, didn’t you ask me before if I knew about glowcrystal?”

“Hmm? glowcrystal!”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up. Hearing that there was serious business to discuss, the evil fire in his heart immediately dimmed a few points. He asked, “Is there news about glowcrystal?”

He had not only asked Gu Yu about the two Materials, Sacred Tear and glowcrystal, but also inquired with Chu Mengxuan.

After all, Jingming City was a Holy Land for forging equipment, and many rare Materials would appear there.

Chu Mengxuan nodded and said, “There’s news! Do you remember Zuo Dongdong?”

Qin Yang nodded: “You mean the Holy Light Bishop.”

Chu Mengxuan: “Her mentor is very powerful, an Epic-tier Holy Light Archbishop, and he happens to have a glowcrystal.”

“How much does he want for it?” Qin Yang asked.

To forge the goddess amulet, only the glowcrystal was left.

If he could successfully forge it before going to Lizhou, that would be for the best.

Chu Mengxuan said disdainfully, “Why would a Holy Light Archbishop care about money?”

“Then what does he want?”

“He wants… wait, I forgot…”

Chu Mengxuan took out her phone and scrolled through her chat history.

Then, she played the voice message Zuo Dongdong had sent.

【Qin Yang perfectly cleared the Goblin Kingdom before, so he should have seen the entire plot of that Secret Realm. Can you ask him if he can share the Secret Realm’s plot? It’s very important to my mentor. If he can, the glowcrystal is his.】

“The plot of the Goblin Kingdom.”

Qin Yang took a deep breath.

He had just instantly killed the monsters when he went in, so he hadn’t actually seen that plot.

However, on the Star Gazing Platform, he had inquired about the Compassionate Holy Maiden.

The general story was… the Compassionate Holy Maiden was originally a Holy Light Bishop named Canali.

Canali’s team was attacked by monsters during an adventure and was completely wiped out.

Severely injured, she was captured by Goblins and taken to their lair, where she suffered inhumane torment.

In the dark, subterranean cave, she gave birth to many small Goblins.

One of them even developed intelligence superior to its kin, capable of communicating with Canali and possessing rich emotions.

Canali was greatly surprised.

She realized that this Goblin’s Bloodline wasn’t just stronger.

Instead, it had broken through the racial barrier.

As Canali was continuously forced to give birth, more and more similar small Goblins appeared.

Some small Goblins even mastered Holy Light Spell.

They called Canali “Holy Mother.”

Surrounded by these offspring, Canali escaped the Goblins’ captivity and emerged from the underground cave.

The moment she saw sunlight again.

Canali received a revelation from a higher dimension.

As long as the Goblins’ Bloodline was continuously purified, their potential would constantly strengthen.

Eventually, they would become a race more powerful than Elves or the Dragon Clan.

And after giving birth to the Divine Child, Canali would also become the deity of this race.

Following that vague guidance, Canali led her numerous offspring into a Holy Light ruin and established the Goblin Kingdom.

She intended to rely on these offspring to continuously purify their Bloodline and give birth to the Divine Child from the revelation.

After a long period, Canali purified the Goblins’ Bloodline to the tenth generation.

Finally, before the eleventh generation Divine Child arrived, Qin Yang appeared.

“I have to say, this Canali is quite unlucky.”

Recalling the plot of the Goblin Kingdom, Qin Yang grumbled inwardly.

But then he thought, he couldn’t say he was doing evil.

Perhaps Canali’s ultimate mission was to hand over the Divine Child to him?

Thinking this, Qin Yang said to Chu Mengxuan, “Have Zuo Dongdong send over the glowcrystal. I will personally organize the plot information.”

The information he knew should surpass the original plot, enough to exchange for the glowcrystal.

Of course, Qin Yang would definitely not mention anything about the Divine Child.

Chu Mengxuan asked in surprise, “You’ll organize it yourself?”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes at Chu Mengxuan: “Otherwise?”

Unknown secrets were extremely valuable; finding someone else to organize them would be squandering wealth.

Even if Qin Yang didn’t organize it himself, he would give it to Xiao He to do.

However, Chu Mengxuan didn’t think that much.

She just felt that Qin Yang had changed too much compared to before.

Not only was he so powerful that she could only look up to him.

He had also become polite and understood proper boundaries.

He was like heaven and earth compared to that mischievous wastrel he used to be.

If not for his burning gaze, which was still exactly the same as before, Chu Mengxuan would have thought Qin Yang had been taken over by Possession.

However… Chu Mengxuan wasn’t as resistant to Qin Yang’s gaze anymore.

After all, she would also subconsciously sneak glances at him.

Thinking of these things, Chu Mengxuan couldn’t help but lower her head, her ears burning.

Just then, a pleasant scent wafted over.

Chu Mengxuan suddenly opened her eyes, and in her bright pupils, an irresistible face was reflected.

“You… why did you suddenly get so close?”

Chu Mengxuan shrank back on the bed.

Qin Yang said, “You know about the marriage alliance, right?”

“I know.”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t think much of it. It’s just moving into your house, isn’t it?”

Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction and smiled, “Then tie up your hair.”

“What?” Chu Mengxuan was startled, not understanding what he meant.

Qin Yang pushed her down in one swift motion and said, “I said, tie up your hair.”

...Dong!

Above the Chu Residence, a bell-like sound echoed.

“Is that the sound of the Golden Bell Shield?”

Chu Mengchen, who was drinking with Qin Chuan, frowned and said to Chu Jing, “Go see what’s happening.”

Chu Jing, however, smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing, just the weak point of the shield breaking.”
