Chapter 924: Confession

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the City of Ancient Emperors, Qin Wentian’s name was beginning to gain notoriety. The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the daughter of the Xiao Emperor, and the sons of the Xuan Emperor were all involved in this storm. In addition, the news of Xuan Xing’s death soon circulated around the city. Several days later, Xuan Xing’s name disappeared from the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and a new name appeared.

Qin Wentian was now ranked #100 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

This ranking led to many discussions. Many felt that Qin Wentian’s ranking was too low. After all, he’d personally killed the #27-ranked Xuan Xing with his own hands without the aid of an immortal weapon.

But there were also some who felt that Qin Wentian’s ranking was too high. His cultivation base was only at the seventh-level. His strength had only soared through his use of secret arts. It wasn’t a strength he would naturally exhibit under normal circumstances, and there would surely be side-effects of using such secret arts to increase one’s cultivation. The descendants and disciples of immortal kings and emperors all understood that there was a limit to the strength boosted by such secret arts, and Qin Wentian had most likely paid a heavy price for using them.

And as for Qin Wentian’s true combat prowess, he who was at the seventh-level lacked the means to become more proficient at using the God’s Hand. This was why he couldn’t activate it for a second time after his original God’s Hand was broken apart by the Xiao Emperor. Similarly, this ‘power’ he depended on was too unstable to be relied on, so his ranking should be lower than #100.

There were many discussions regarding Qin Wentian’s ranking. Qin Wentian was different from the other geniuses, and the person in charge of determining the ranking probably had no clear idea how to rank him, so they’d temporarily ranked him at the #100 position. In the future, there would probably still be changes.

However Qin Wentian had no time to care about any of this—actually, he had no inkling of these events at all.

In the City of Ancient Emperors, there were expansive areas of wilderness that were immeasurably vast and incomparably mysterious. Since the creation of the City of Ancient Emperors, no one could confidently say that they had fully explored the place. Several young geniuses had gone to explore the depths of some of these mountains, yet they all vanished completely. No one knew what had happened to them.

Presently, in a certain area, there was a quiet place adorned with cliffs all around, with a waterfall nearby. It was similar to a paradise, separate from the rest of the world.

Amidst the green peaks, a simple abode could be seen. Strange rocks formed a craggy terrain outside of the humble-looking hut. Gusts of gentle wind blew by, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

Atop a gigantic rock, a flawlessly beautiful figure sat quietly in cultivation. She was like a fairy in a painting, her appearance so beautiful that her looks could mesmerize all who viewed her.

An instant later, this beautiful figure slowly stood up and turned around, staring at another silhouette who lay peacefully in a deep slumber.

This flawlessly beautiful figure was naturally none other than Qing`er. And as for the person sleeping on the ground, he was none other than Qin Wentian.

Qing`er walked to Qin Wentian’s side and crouched down, staring at the peaceful expression on his handsome looking face. He seemed so peaceful, as though he wasn’t concerned about the consequences of his last attack. He knew that she would definitely bring him away to safety.

Qing`er’s cold-looking countenance gradually turned gentle with warmth. All the ice melted away, and the light breeze fluttered her hair, causing some strands to brush across Qin Wentian’s face. As she stared at him, many memories of the past surfaced in her mind. All of a sudden, a sweet smile appeared on her lips, causing her beauty to deepen even more.

"Thank you for taking such a short time to find me," Qing`er’s melodious voice rang out. After which, she slowly stretched her hand out, and after some hesitation, her gentle jade-like hand caressed Qin Wentian’s face, her smile growing more and more radiant.

"In the past, you slept for a long time. I wonder how long it will take for you to wake up this time around?" Qing`er whispered quietly. Suddenly, a pair of bright and clear eyes blinked open. The hand stroking Qin Wentian’s face trembled and stilled, and her beautiful smile froze.

As if by reflex, Qing`er retracted her hand with lightning speed and stood up instantly. Her countenance returned to its usual cold demeanor as she spoke, "You’re awake."

"Qing`er, what were you doing?" A flicker of a smile appeared in Qin Wentian’s eyes as he stared at the flawlessly beautiful figure before him. His amusement seemed to affect her composure, and she nervously replied, "Just checking to see if you're feeling better."

After that, she turned her back to him, as though not daring to meet Qin Wentian’s eyes. A strange expression flashed through her beautiful eyes, and her face colored slightly, but swiftly returned to normal as though nothing had happened.

"Qing`er." A voice drifted from behind her. Qing`er turned, and her face was smooth from expression.

Qin Wentian continued to say nothing. He merely stared at her silently, the smile in his eyes as clear as ever.

When Qing`er saw him looking at her without a word, she wanted to turn around again. But then she heard Qin Wentian say in a low voice, "Qing`er, it wasn’t easy finding you. Let me look at you a little longer."

Qing`er looked at Qin Wentian, and he couldn’t tell what she was thinking about from those calm eyes of hers. After which, she then spoke, "You’d better rest well and wake up early tomorrow."

After speaking, she turned and walked to the top of the gigantic rock nearby and stood there quietly.

Qin Wentian stared at her back with a look of gentleness on his face. After some time, he slowly closed his eyes and adjusted the energy circulating in his body. His energy reserves had been completely sucked dry. The consumption rate of his previous battle was too terrifying. First, he’d fought with the God’s Hand. After that, he transformed into a great roc, and finally, he ended things with the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay, killing Xuan Xing and injuring himself alongside Xuan Yang.

After defeating Xuan Yang, his energy reserves were fully exhausted. Luckily for him, his current cultivation base was incomparable to before, and he had a stronger recovery rate. With his stronger cultivation, the boost in power of the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay had also minimized. But at the same time, so were the side-effects. The consequences of using it weren’t as dangerous as before.

Time slowly flowed by. Qin Wentian focused on his recovery while Qing`er stayed by his side.

And now, Qin Wentian could finally move about freely. He sat on the gigantic rock in cultivation and had been in this posture for more than ten days, his eyes closed in complete focus.

Finally, Qin Wentian’s eyes opened. There was no sharpness within, only a gentle calmness. The setting sun from the horizon cascaded its shining rays over the mountains, covering them with a layer of beautiful light. The waterfall nearby bubbled and gurgled, and together with the setting sun, it was a picturesque scene.

A flawless figure walked out from a cave hidden by the waterfall. As she stepped out, the water splashed over her, drenching her silky black hair. Clothed in a simple, yet flimsy dress, her perfect figure was further accentuated, and under the beautiful light of the sunset, she seemed to give off a sense of holiness, stunning Qin Wentian as he stared at her.

Qing`er noticed Qin Wentian’s presence. And when she walked over and saw the dumbstruck look in Qin Wentian’s eyes, she stared coldly at him. Her beautiful, translucent eyes flashed with a strange expression, and she walked away, entering the simple hut ahead while leaving behind traces of a mesmerizing fragrance.

"A beautiful scene in the human world, huh…" Qin Wentian mumbled. A cool wind gusted, Qin Wentian turned his head and caught Qing`er staring at him.

"Qing`er, you are still so beautiful even when you’re angry," Qin Wentian teased and stretched his body, still oblivious. Of course, he would be thick-skinned. Otherwise, Qing`er would have attacked him by now.

"Shameless," Qing`er spoke.

But the tone of her words sounded melodious to Qin Wentian. Smiling widely he stared at Qing`er and shrugged. "Qing`er, if we could live like this forever, wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing?"

"What about Qingcheng?" Qing`er’s cool voice rang out, startling Qin Wentian as he stared at her in bewilderment. He didn’t expect Qing`er to say Mo Qingcheng’s name at that moment.

Staring at Qin Wentian’s expression, Qing`er lowered her head and also fell silent.

Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, then looked at Qing`er and spoke gently, "Qing`er. I will never let Qingcheng down. But similarly, I will also never let you down."

It was very rare for Qin Wentian to openly state his true feelings. He knew that he owed a promise to Qing`er. When Qin Wentian said it would be wonderful to live forever with her, Qing`er had responded by asking about Qingcheng. From this, one could see that in Qing`er’s heart, she had already considered Qin Wentian as her lover. If not, she would have disagreed, and she wouldn’t have mentioned Mo Qingcheng. But since she did, it was clear that this matter had always been in her heart…

And although Qing`er was a woman of few words, her actions had undoubtedly confirmed her relationship with Qin Wentian. She was willing to stay here to take care of him forever, without taking a step beyond his side. In fact, after taking a bath at the waterfall, she hadn’t avoided Qin Wentian when he saw her. Qing`er was already treating Qin Wentian as someone very close to her.

Every one of Qing`er’s actions caused Qin Wentian to sense the depth of her emotions for him.

Qin Wentian’s words had startled Qing`er, and she stood there in a daze, as though she’d never expected Qin Wentian to suddenly say such a thing. With that statement, it was clear that Qin Wentian had placed her position in his heart on the same level as Qingcheng’s.

After a while, she turned and walked back to the hut, replying in a low voice, "You’d better increase your strength as soon as possible. Qingcheng has been waiting for you for many years."

And with that, Qing`er walked into her room in the abode and didn’t come out.

Qin Wentian stared at her back, a rueful smile on his face. Qing`er was still the same as ever. But in this case, what did she mean by that? Was she fine with their current relationship or not?

And as for Qingcheng…was she still doing well?

Inside her room, Qing`er lay quietly staring at the ceiling in a daze. Right now, her heart was beating extremely fast, and a rare look of nervousness was on her face. Slowly, the state of her heart gradually calmed down.

Qing`er’s beautiful eyes blinked as a warm smile appeared in her eyes. She then closed her eyes slowly, as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, so beautiful it could mesmerize the soul. It was unfortunate that Qin Wentian couldn’t appreciate such a beautiful scene!
