Chapter 2745: Intermarriage?!

“Y-you became a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!” Long Fei Yun exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Zhou Shu Qiu in a daze. Although he knew she was highly talented and had become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial,  he did not expect her to become a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! Qiu Ling had informed him about it via Voice Transmission. Therefore,  he was not surprised she had easily subdued Qiu Ling with just a move. After all,  as the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Sect,  her cultivation method,  Celestial Methods,  and Divine Abilities had to be at the earth-grade at least. On the other hand,  although Qiu Ling was a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial,  he only mastered an earth-grade cultivation method. The Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he mastered was only at the profound grade. Moreover, since Zhou Shu Qiu had a higher innate talent, it meant she had more Heavenly Veins compared to Qiu Ling. With that, she could mobilize her Celestial Origin Energy faster than Qiu Ling as well. It was no surprise that Qiu Ling was not a match for her.“I just broke through not too long ago,   ” Zhou Shu Qiu replied nonchalantly as she glanced at Long Fei Yun,   Then,   she shifted her attention back to Duan Ling Tian. She was slightly surprised. She had thought Duan Ling Tian would not be able to remain calm after the demonstration of her power. On the contrary,  he still maintained his composure. She thought to herself, ‘Isn’t he afraid?’ Then, she seemed to recall something as a smile bloomed on her face. ‘Right. The man whom Bing’er cares about can’t be ordinary after all.’

Duan Ling Tian met Zhou Shu Qiu’s gaze and calmly said, “Lead the way.”

“Brother Duan!” Long Fei Yun was shocked. He did not wish Duan Ling Tian for Duan Ling Tian to go with Zhou Shu Qiu since he did not think she had come with good intentions.

“Brother Ling Tian!” Huan’er’s expression,   hidden under the veil and hat,  slightly changed. Her slender hands tightly gripped Duan Ling Tian’s arm, clearly unwilling to let him go.

“Huan’er, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll just be gone for a while.” Duan Ling Tian smiled while he gently patted Huan’er’s hands that were tightly gripping his arm.

“Brother Ling Tian,       I’m stupid and useless. If I were able to completely master the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that I inherited in my memory,      she definitely won’t be a match for me! Even then,     I’m not afraid of her now even though I’m weaker!” Huan’er said via Voice Transmission. A hint of determination flashed in the depths of her eyes. As a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox that only came into being every 1,   000,   000 years,   she had also inherited techniques that allowed her to die along with her opponents. To protect Duan Ling Tian,  she was willing to die with the woman standing in front of her! Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of it. She had also sent him a Voice Transmission instead of speaking out loud because of Duan Ling Tian’s repeated warning not to reveal her inherited techniques in front of others.

“Huan’er,   she really wants to speak to me. If she wanted to harm me,  she can do it here without going to another place.” He patted Huan’er hands again. When he was certain she was no longer anxious, he gently extricated his arms from her grip. He was so gentle, as though she was a flower and he was afraid too much force might cause her petals to fall.

Seeing Duan Ling Tian’s action, Zhou Shu Qiu could not help but frown. She had already considered him as her best friend’s man to a certain extent. How could she not feel displeased when she saw how gentle he was to another woman?

“I don’t have much time,” Zhou Shu Qiu said coldly with a dark expression. An expression of contempt and disgust could be seen on her face as she thought to herself, ‘I don’t understand why Bing’er would like a womanizer like him. She even asked me to protect him if the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect targets him! I really feel sorry for her. This man is not worthy of her concern.’

“I’m coming,” Duan Ling Tian calmly replied. After he comforted Huan’er and promised to return as soon as possible, he nodded at Long Fei Yun before he walked up to Zhou Shu Qiu.

Zhou Shu Qiu led Duan Ling Tian away from the crowd through several streets before finally coming to a halt in an empty alley. After checking there was nobody in the surroundings, she let down her guard. She looked at Duan Ling Tian with a cold expression and asked, “Why did you come with me without putting up a fight? Aren’t you afraid that I might harm you?”

“If you truly want to harm me, is there a need to bring me here?” Duan Ling Tian rebutted.

“That’s true.” Despite her misunderstanding, Zhou Shu Qiu admired Duan Ling Tian’s courage and boldness. His expression did not change at all even though she injured the heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Her dislike for him lessened slightly in the face of his courage. ‘I didn’t expect a womanizer like him would be so brave.’

If Duan Ling Tian could read Zhou Shu Qiu’s mind, he would have smiled bitterly. How was he a womanizer? If he was, he would have at least ten women.

Finally, Zhou Shu Qiu said tonelessly, “Duan Ling Tian, you first appeared in Bloody Specter City that’s governed by Nine Specters County. The Nine Specters County is one of the 16 counties under the rule of King Qin’s Mansion of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom…”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged, inwardly, he was shocked. ‘As expected of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Their information network is really vast! In just half a year, Zhou Shu Qiu managed to discover my background.’ However, he also discovered there were many matters she was not privy to. For example, she seemed unaware that he had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven about ten years ago. She did not seem to know Huan’er’s background as well. Nevertheless, the information Zhou Shu Qiu obtained from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect was enough to surprise him.

“Since you know all these things, why did you instruct your sister to apologize to me? You’re a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. You’re more than capable of killing me to seek revenge for your sister.” Duan Ling Tian was curious. He really could not figure out why Zhou Shu Qiu did not intend to kill him even though she had discovered his background.

“Naturally, I have my reason. You’ll find out soon enough.” Zhou Shu Qiu did plan to reveal her relationship with Murong Bing, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. She paused for a moment before she asked, “Why does the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect want to kill you? Are you, as most people suspect, from a rival sect of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?”

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It looks like she’s not killing me because she’s worried I’m a disciple from a strong force outside the Wasteland as well?’ He was quite certain of this so he said, “What do you think?”

“Well, I don’t think so,” Zhou Shu Qiu looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully and said, “Through the information I obtained from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, I discovered that the reason the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect wants you dead is related to their disciple, Murong Bing.”

Murong Bing! When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhou Shu Qiu mentioning Murong Bin, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at her with a shocked expression on his face. He did not expect the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect to find out about this.

“Can you tell me what had happened between you and Murong Binh? Why would the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect send a Celestial Duke to kill you?” Zhou Shu Qiu asked.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.

After a brief pause, Zhou Shu Qiu said, “I heard that Murong Bing was originally slated to become the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. However, she’s out of the running now because it has been revealed that she has lost her virginity.”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. He thought being a Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect only meant Murong Bing could not have a relationship with a man. He did not know that one had to be a virgin to be the sect leader. This was good news to him. He did not want Murong Bing to live an ascetic life, she was his woman after all!

“However, for this reason, I heard that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect has decided on an intermarriage for her. I’ve heard that he’s a young man from a prominent family that’s even stronger than the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. I really pity Murong Bing…” Zhou Shu Qiu said with a sigh.

“Intermarriage?!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically when he heard Zhou Shu Qiu’s words.
