98: Chapter 98: Back then, Bai Moxian was the number one beauty on the Eastern Wilderness's list of beauties.
[This Liu Longyan is too black-hearted, actually using a honey trap.]
Liu Longyan: "..."
Which one of us is actually the black-hearted one?
You're even pretending to be the Liu Family's son-in-law.
[But I have to say, even if Liu Longyan is a bit black-hearted, her figure is truly beyond reproach.]
lecher.
Liu Longyan gritted her teeth in anger.
"At most two taels," Liu Longyan said, biting her pearly white teeth.
"One jin. If you don't give it, I'm leaving," Li Qing said indifferently.
"Also, get away from me."
Li Qing had a look of disgust on his face.
This scene fell directly into Liu Longyan's eyes.
"Li Qing..."
Liu Longyan was so furious.
You're actually acting disgusted by me?
I, Liu Longyan, haven't even shown disgust toward you yet.
You lecher.
This Young Miss is going to die of anger.
Liu Longyan huffed and pushed Li Qing away.
[She's angry, she's angry.]
[Wah-ka-ka, very good. Liu Longyan, you must keep it up.]
"You..."
Liu Longyan's pearly white teeth were almost crushed from gritting them.
This bastard.
"Son-in-law, you've misunderstood the Eldest Young Miss. It's not that she's stingy, but that the Family only has two taels of enlightenment tea left," said a middle-aged man dressed in a gold-threaded green robe with a cupped-hand salute.
"So poor?" Li Qing frowned.
Liu Longyan: "..."
The Liu Family members: "..."
Is the Liu Family even remotely associated with being poor?
"Bring it here. If I don't see the tea, I'm leaving," Li Qing said, extending his hand toward the middle-aged man.
"Someone, go and bring all the remaining enlightenment tea to the son-in-law," the middle-aged man immediately ordered.
In the crowd, a high-ranking member of the Liu Family immediately transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Soon, the person returned and handed a white jade box to Li Qing.
Li Qing opened it, took a glance, and then put it away.
"Are you satisfied now?" Liu Longyan looked at Li Qing, gritting her teeth.
"Not satisfied. It's still eight taels short of a jin," Li Qing said indifferently.
Liu Longyan rolled her eyes.
You're freeloading our Liu Family's enlightenment tea and still complaining it's too little.
I can't even be bothered to talk to you.
"This Young Master is tired. Find me a place to rest."
"Let's get this straight first: if the place isn't good, I'm going to start swearing."
Li Qing said while stretching.
"Li Qing, don't go too far," Liu Longyan said, unable to bear it any longer.
"Then I'm leaving," Li Qing glanced at Liu Longyan.
[Heh, you plot against me and still expect me to give your Liu Family a good attitude?]
[In your dreams.]
[If it weren't for the drama to be seen at the Corpse Viewing Assembly, even a dog wouldn't come to your Liu Family.]
"You..."
I'm not angry, I'm not angry. If I get angry, he'll be pleased.
Liu Longyan tried her best to calm her emotions.
"Son-in-law, please rest assured. The Dragon Court Hall has already been prepared for you," the middle-aged man said hurriedly.
They couldn't let the son-in-law leave.
His strength was not inferior to the Eldest Young Miss. Now that the Corpse Viewing Assembly was imminent, he was a vital combat force for our Liu Family.
"Lead the way."
Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.
Then, surrounded by a group of Liu Family high-rankers, Li Qing left.
Only Liu Longyan was left standing alone on the spot.
"Wait, I'm the Eldest Young Miss of the Liu Family, okay?"
"There's such a large person standing here, can't you see me?"
"They actually just left me here."
Liu Longyan was so furious.
She stomped her foot and soared into the sky, heading in another direction.
Liu Longyan didn't want to see Li Qing right now; she was already full from anger.
Meanwhile.
Liu Family, Dragon Court Hall.
This hall was one of the halls with the densest Spiritual Qi in the Liu Family.
After Li Qing sent the Liu Family high-rankers away, he sat down at a nearby jade table. Just as he was about to taste the spiritual fruit on the table, a series of 'thump-thump' sounds suddenly echoed in the hall.
A White-haired Old Woman, holding a cane, entered the hall with a hunched body.
This White-haired Old Woman was very strange, with a black circular mark on her forehead.
"Black Sun Mark, White Demon Immortal."
Li Qing blurted out.
"You know who I am?"
A flash of killing intent crossed the White-haired Old Woman's eyes.
[Crap, how did I let that slip? It's over, it's over. This old hag won't try to kill me, will she?]
"Who is speaking?"
The White-haired Old Woman shouted loudly.
"No one is speaking," Li Qing said, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
[I'm afraid no one would ever imagine that beneath this aged body is wrapped a peerless beauty.]
[Back then, the White Demon Immortal was the top-ranked beauty on the Eastern Wilderness Beauty List. Unfortunately, she cultivated the incomplete Ageless Longevity Art, and her body suffered a backlash. Although her Lifespan increased several times over, her face turned into this ghostly appearance.]
I heard it clearly this time.
It's the person in front of me.
He didn't open his mouth, and it wasn't a voice transmission; it seemed to be his inner thoughts.
I can actually hear this person's heart.
Interesting.
A sharp glint flashed in the White-haired Old Woman's eyes.
[I remember that every night of the full moon, the White Demon Immortal's aged body temporarily regains its youthful appearance. Otherwise, she would surely go insane.]
[In the end, it's the child of destiny Gu Beichen who obtains the Complete Manual of the Ageless Longevity Art and helps her solve her physical issues.]
[Because of this, the restored White Demon Immortal falls in love with Gu Beichen.]
[Sigh, it's another one of those old-fashioned cliché tropes. I can't even be bothered to criticize the author.]
[Of course, Gu Beichen won't actually fall for the White Demon Immortal. He only accepts her in order to engage in Dual Cultivation with her.]
[However, this White Demon Immortal is incredibly clever. When Gu Beichen tried to drain her cultivation, she forcibly interrupted him and managed to escape his clutches. Her methods are truly impressive; she's a ruthless one.]
[But although she survived, her heart died.]
[Her cultivation could never advance another inch for the rest of her life, and she eventually died of old age.]
[How tragic.]
What?
The Complete Manual of the Ageless Longevity Art?
That thing actually exists.
The White Demon Immortal's heart trembled.
She only came today because she saw the Family give all the remaining enlightenment tea to this person and wanted to take some for herself, but she never expected to receive such an unexpected surprise.
However, the idea that I would fall in love with someone named Gu Beichen is simply too absurd.
Of all the men in the world, who could possibly catch my eye?
[I actually know where that Ageless Longevity Art is. If this White Demon Immortal dares to make a move against me today, I'll find a time to go and destroy it.]
"Don't!"
The White Demon Immortal blurted out.
Her concern had made her lose her composure.
"Don't what?" Li Qing looked at her, completely baffled.
"It's nothing."
"It seems you recognize me, young friend."
The killing intent in the White Demon Immortal's eyes vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.
At this moment, she didn't dare to gamble.
"I don't."
Li Qing flatly denied it.
[This Young Master obviously knows who you are.]
[This Young Master even knows you're a master at the Fifth Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Dao Attainment Realm.]
[However, only on the night of the full moon when you regain your youthful appearance will your cultivation be at its Peak.]
[Right now, you're at the First Heaven of the Immortal Terrace Human Emperor Realm at most.]
[If we really start fighting, This Young Master isn't someone to be trifled with either.]
He even knows about that.
He's not afraid of the current me.
In other words, this person also has cultivation at the First Heaven of the Immortal Terrace Human Emperor Realm, or at least his combat power has reached that level.
A sharp glint flashed in the White Demon Immortal's eyes.
As expected, someone who could catch Liu Longyan's eye is no simple character.
Fortunately, I didn't act rashly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Are you interested in watching the moon with me, young friend?" the White Demon Immortal suddenly laughed, the bark-like wrinkles on her face slowly smoothing out.
Li Qing: "..."
