60: Damn bad boy

"Young Master is brilliant." A crowd of followers praised, looking at Shi Yehan with fervent eyes.

Although Shi Yehan lost to Lin Chuqing, this did not mean he was weak.

Shi Yehan had been the top Heavenly Pride in the Central God Domain for many years, not because of his family background, but because of his strength, which was by no means undeserved.

How many Divine Bodies and Saint Bodies in the Central God Domain had been suppressed by Shi Yehan alone?

Even Lin Chuqing only defeated him after he suppressed his cultivation realm.

And it was Shi Yehan who conceded.

They suspected their Young Master had gone easy on her.

Shi Yehan smiled indifferently, his expression leisurely and content.

Even without Lin Chuqing, he wanted to fight Gu Qing to see if the disciples of the Star God Temple were as invincible as rumored.

Women admired strength.

As long as he defeated Gu Qing, he didn't believe Lin Chuqing would remain infatuated with him.

"Young Master, Xuanwu City has arrived."

"Mm, enter the city."

..."Tsk tsk, Chu Qing, did you see? You have captivated all beings."

In the room, Luo Rou's divine sense swept across the entire city, and everyone was discussing Lin Chuqing.

Every single one wished to behold Lin Chuqing's peerless grace.

This made her feel a sense of shared honor, a joy like watching her own cub finally transform into a dragon.

"Master, it's just a false reputation."

"Besides, people's hearts are hidden; who knows if they harbor admiration or sinister intentions?"

Lin Chuqing remained unmoved, her eyes closed, silently comprehending the Dao and divine abilities.

What contemporary Goddess, what unparalleled talent.

To her, it held no meaning whatsoever.

She only wanted to cultivate quietly, grow stronger, and accompany her beloved for eternity.

"That's true."

Luo Rou nodded in agreement, then looked up at her beloved disciple, smiling, "It's a good thing that scoundrel captured your heart before you grew up; otherwise, I'd be worried you'd become a stone woman devoid of emotion and desire."

Having accompanied Lin Chuqing for so many years, she knew how cold Lin Chuqing's heart truly was.

She had encountered many handsome, monstrously talented Heavenly Prides, some even willing to die for Lin Chuqing.

Yet, Lin Chuqing remained unmoved, leaving no trace in her heart.

It was as if, apart from the Dao, she sought nothing else.

"Master."

Lin Chuqing opened her eyes, a blush appearing on her exquisite face, feeling greatly embarrassed.

Clearly, she was very unwilling for others to bring up her past with Gu Qing.

She didn't want anyone to know that she used to hate Gu Qing the most when she was a child.

Who told him to constantly pull her pigtails and dirty her pretty dresses?

"Alright, alright, I won't say it, I won't say it..." Seeing Lin Chuqing's annoyed and lively expression, Luo Rou smiled with satisfaction.

Teasing her aloof beloved disciple had become her daily favorite hobby.

However... thinking that her beloved disciple would soon no longer belong to her, Luo Rou felt a pang of heartache and cursed, "That damned scoundrel..."

"Master, please don't forget that you are a well-educated and sensible young lady."

A fleeting smile flickered in Lin Chuqing's eyes.

Luo Rou immediately shut her mouth, adopting a dignified and elegant posture, appearing like a quiet, well-bred young lady.

"He's here..."

"Who's here?"

"A Qing is here."

"Then should I leave?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Gu Qing arrived at Xuanwu City in his void flying boat, swept his divine sense around, and looked surprised.

There were far too many young geniuses, and their numbers were still increasing.

In the sky, they came in twos and threes, riding flying swords or carriages, rushing from all directions.

They excitedly discussed how astonishingly beautiful Lin Chuqing was, how she possessed unparalleled grace.

He Ni sighed with emotion, "No need to be surprised. That girl is a celestial spirit manifested, possessing a celestial source. The immortal aura she emits has a fatal allure to all beings."

"Besides, everyone worships idols."

"Lin Chuqing defeated the top Heavenly Pride and became the uncrowned king of this era. If one can glimpse her peerless demeanor, they'll have bragging rights when they return."

Recalling her own youth, she too was once like this, the center of attention, like the heart of the world.

Countless Eternal Life magnates considered it an honor to invite her.

Heavenly Prides and monstrous talents regarded her as an idol.

They knelt for days at the foot of the mountain, wishing to become her disciple.

"The world bustles and hustles, all for gain, all for loss..."

Gu Qing nodded in understanding and immediately shut down his system. If he didn't, he would probably be bombarded with system messages when he met Lin Chuqing.

Arriving at the Drunken Immortal Inn, Gu Qing pushed the door open directly..."Tsk, another one who isn't afraid of death, relying on his status to bother Immortal Fairy Lin."

"What do you think, can he withstand a single move from Immortal Fairy Lin?"

"No, what kind of existence is Immortal Fairy Lin? Even the Saint Sons of Sacred Lands can't withstand a casual strike from her."

"But this pretty boy is quite handsome."

Lin Chuqing's door had been pushed open more than once.

There were always people who thought they were unique and endlessly charming.

But without exception, they were all severely wounded by a single sword qi from Lin Chuqing.

However confident they were when they arrived, they were just as disheveled when they left.

Facing those who lacked propriety and tried to pester her, Lin Chuqing never showed mercy.

Although her nature was kind, if anyone touched her bottom line, Lin Chuqing would always kill them decisively.

The Great Dao is ruthless; all living beings are like ants. Her kindness was only reserved for those she cherished.

"Hmm? Why isn't he coming out yet?"

The onlookers eager for a show were stunned, but they quickly realized.

Gu Qing must be the fiancé Lin Chuqing was waiting for.

"I truly envy Immortal Fairy Lin..."

The female cultivators in the Drunken Immortal Inn showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The news that Gu Qing was a true disciple of the Star God Temple had already spread.

The news was released by Lin Chuqing herself.

That was the Star God Temple, a Dao lineage that had been passed down for eons, transcending the mundane world.

Even a casual outer disciple from there was a figure of Heavenly Pride.

Because even a good-for-nothing didn't qualify to be a mere handyman disciple of the Star God Temple.

Lin Chuqing, on the other hand, was born with a divine face and celestial grace, monstrous talent, and was a truly deserving contemporary Goddess.

And she had a handsome fiancé with powerful talent and an unbeatable background. Her life was simply perfect. How could they not be envious, jealous, and hateful?

As for the male cultivators, they were driven mad with envy and jealousy towards Gu Qing.

Lin Chuqing was exceptionally graceful and a successor of the Secluded Immortal Palace, destined to wield its authority in the future.

Such a noble Goddess, they only dared to admire her from afar, silently revering her, not even having the courage to express their feelings. Yet, Gu Qing could marry her, accompany her on the Great Dao, and become a pair of celestial companions.

The more everyone thought about it, the more bitter they felt.

"Senior Sister Lin, do you still remember me, Lin Fan? If you don't like this pretty boy, even if it costs me my life, I will help you annul this engagement."

The handsome young man Lin Fan showed a determined expression, clenching his fists, secretly vowing.

He was once chased by a flood dragon, and it was Lin Chuqing who saved him.

Although Lin Chuqing might not care, or perhaps didn't even remember saving him, he had never forgotten the life-saving grace.

That terrifyingly peerless sword strike and the exceptionally graceful silhouette had been deeply etched into his mind.

"Hmm? Shi Yehan is here..."

"Now there's a good show to watch."

Ever since Shi Yehan lost to Lin Chuqing, he had declared that he would marry no one but Lin Chuqing in this life.

And the Shi Family also quickly expressed their stance, completely ignoring Gu Qing.

Two Heavenly Prides vying for one woman would surely erupt into a great battle.

No one knew who would ultimately emerge victorious, or who would win the beauty's heart.
