"Hmm?"
Qin Chuan and Lao Luo's eyes lit up. The woman blushed slightly, said nothing, and left with Qin Chuan and Lao Luo.
Things had taken an unexpected turn, but it was a pleasant surprise. They hadn't expected to succeed on their first try; this daughter was definitely Lao Luo's.
This made things much easier. If it were just the woman, she might not have been able to persuade Palace Master Wu, but with this little girl, it was a different story.
This was absolutely the best source of emotional support. Even tigers don't eat their cubs; this is the natural order of things, and no normal person can escape it.
Back at Palace Master Wu, when he saw the woman, he was slightly shocked, and when he saw the little girl in her arms, he was completely dumbfounded.
His previously cloudy eyes gradually cleared, revealing a glimmer of life. Before, his eyes were like those of a terminally ill person, a condition that Qin Chuan, despite his medical skills, couldn't cure.
Medicine can't kill; if someone is determined to die, even the best elixirs are useless. But now, it seemed that wasn't necessary; everything was alright.
Tears welled in the woman's eyes. She hadn't known that Lord Wu had already taken his revenge, and in fact, she hadn't expected him to be capable of it, so she hadn't thought of coming to find him.
But she hadn't expected him to have achieved his revenge. If she had known, she would definitely have come to find him, not for any other reason than to see the man's relief after his vengeance.
She was the one who understood Lord Wu best, and loved him most. She stood there, looking at him, a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were red.
Lord Wu now understood everything. Suddenly, he ran over and picked up the woman and the little girl.
Qin Chuan and Lao Luo went outside. Lao Luo was overjoyed; the gloom in his heart had dissipated. Qin Chuan
felt the same way. He naturally didn't want Lord Wu to die either. He hadn't been able to dissuade him before, but this time he had, and the feeling was different.
"Let's have a drink today! Cheers!"
Qin Chuan and Lao Luo drank together, while Lord Wu naturally stayed with the woman. After so many years and so much had happened, they needed to pour out their hearts to each other.
Zhao Han had already left. After Qin Chuan defeated Bei Chu Dao, she left a letter the next day and departed.
There was only one sentence:
"See you again someday, take care."
Qin Chuan shook his head, his heart slightly heavy, but a smile quickly appeared on his face. He wasn't afraid Zhao Han would run away; with his abilities, finding her would be a piece of cake once he was strong enough.
Zhao Han left. Hall Master Wu and the woman went to Pengcheng, to that idyllic village. Qin Chuan and Lao Luo stayed there for a few more days.
Hall Master Wu decided to settle there from now on, telling Qin Chuan and Lao Luo to visit whenever they had time, and he would treat them to drinks.
Finally, he bowed to Qin Chuan without saying anything; everything was understood without words.
Hall Master Wu owed Qin Chuan something, something he knew he couldn't repay, so he wouldn't. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
...
Half a month later, Qin Chuan left. When he left, something huge had happened: the Bei Chu family was almost wiped out.
This was a major event; the Bei Chu family, nominally the largest family in the Five Continents, had actually suffered such a fate.
The fuse was the families of those wicked young masters killed by the Bei Chu family head. It was just missing a spark; once that spark
ignited, many people intervened, some openly, some covertly. For a family to become the number one family in the Five Continents, they weren't just standing on the bones of countless others, but on the bones of countless more.
This outburst nearly wiped out the Bei Chu family, and countless people fled in the end. The powerful number one family of Wuzhou vanished instantly.
The power of the masses is boundless, and this incident revealed its terrifying nature to many. Sometimes, methods and abilities are more terrifying than strength.
Following the times, utilizing geography, and understanding human psychology—these are the great principles, just as good and evil cannot coexist, and evil cannot prevail over good.
In fact, the idea that evil cannot prevail over good is the same as the cycle of division and unification. A truly unified world has never been completely unified, but many areas are unified.
Qin Chuan didn't care about any of this. He had already left the Five Continents region; everything here was no longer relevant to him, and he probably wouldn't return.
Alone again, Qin Chuan felt a mix of relief and bitterness. People around him were leaving one after another; where should he go?
The Nine Heavens Land—unfortunately, he couldn't go there now, but he was determined to go. As long as he persevered, one day he would reach the Nine Heavens Land.
Icebergs!
Here lay an endless expanse of icebergs, covered in snow, with glaciers stretching for thousands of miles. The scenery was breathtaking, but as far as the eye could see, there was no one, only the cold north wind constantly blowing.
Qin Chuan walked on the ice, the ice layer beneath his feet hundreds of meters thick. This was a massive ice mountain range, or rather, an ice plateau.
On the ice, there were some plants—ice lotuses, ice fruit trees…
What a wondrous world, each with its own way. Here were plants, animals, and even monsters; each place nurtured its own people, its own world.
Qin Chuan decided to traverse this icy world. He didn't know how vast it was, but he knew that as long as he kept moving forward, he would eventually leave.
Half a month later, Qin Chuan had ventured deeper into this place. The demonic beasts he encountered were already quite powerful, but compared to Qin Chuan's current strength, they were still insignificant. He
also surprisingly encountered several ice lotuses, though only one was old. This
was a valuable item, essential for many elixirs, but incredibly rare. Growing on ice and guarded by powerful demonic beasts, it was extremely difficult to obtain.
Hmm?
Qin Chuan looked into the distance, his body trembling. Was this an illusion? He stared in disbelief at the woman in the distance.
The Space of Longing?
No, this wasn't it. This wasn't the feeling in the Space of Longing.
Clad in white, her beauty surpassed even the frost and snow. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like bright stars, as black as ink, unfathomable. Her face possessed a domineering aura, radiating a majestic beauty from her icy skin and jade-like bones. Her
clothes couldn't conceal her unparalleled grace; her shoulders were sharply defined, her waist slender, her breasts high and firm, her perfect figure a testament to the wonders of creation. So proud, she was a perfect woman.
Qin Chuan walked uncontrollably to her, feeling a sense of déjà vu; how many years had it been since he'd last seen her?
A faint, delicate fragrance, like orchids and musk, emanated from her. She possessed a majestic presence, unparalleled beauty, and exceptional grace, blessed by nature, like a celestial being descended to earth. Her divine bones were sculpted like jade, her body radiating divine light. A woman like her was one in a million, uniquely gifted and unmatched.
She was a woman of breathtaking beauty, a beauty that
could topple empires!
