Chapter 228: Entering Qin City!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Currently, the Southwest Continent was under the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. Its previous pavilion master had suddenly disappeared. During the Heaven Dao Union conference, Sky Phoenix Pavilion had already started following Qin City blindly.

At the moment, the Cloud Heaven City had already fallen into Qin Clan’s control. In addition, Qin City had used the Heaven Dao Union’s name to entice and control the Raging Flames Castle and other underground factions in Northwest Continent without any restraint. In fact, Qin City’s evil clutches already covered the whole Southwest Continent and the Northwest Continent.

Yang Dingtian had always treated the Northwest Qin City as his life nemesis. However, in Qin Wanchou’s eyes, the Cloud Heaven City was merely a portion of his battle strategy.

Furthermore, Qin Wanchou had an extremely outstanding successor, Qin Huaiyu!

In Yang Dingtian’s heart, he had always treated the Northwest Qin City as a martial faction. But from today onwards, he had to change his opinion about it.

Perhaps, the Yin Yang Sect still treated themselves as a martial faction and operated as such. However, the direction Northwest Qin City was heading was to become a country.

Southwest Continent together with Northwest Continent. The territory Northwest Qin City had controlled of was already several times bigger than any country on earth. This was already a powerful country. It was just that its governance was somewhat more scattered for the time being.

“Shen Lang, I’m willing to return to the old me. However, I need time to do it.” Qin Mengli hugged onto Yang Dingtian and spoke softly, “Qin Huaiyu had already sent someone over to warn me about your affairs. They won’t interfere if I’m going to continue living so shamelessly and extravagantly. However, if I’m going to stop my relationship with Ye Wuzheng and be together with you, they will use all of their strength to stop it.”

“I understand…” Yang Dingtian immediately smiled bitterly.

Yang Dingtian knew that the biggest enemy in Qin Wanchou’s eyes was not the Cloud Heaven City but White Cloud City.”read comics on our webnovel.live”

As the Northwest Heaven Dao Union second strongest faction as well as being in-laws with Mystic Heaven Sect, the White Cloud City was the biggest stumbling block for the Northwest Qin City to unify Northwest and Southwest Continent.

Therefore, on the surface, Qin Mengli had to be Ye Wuzheng’s wife. Subsequently, Qin Wanchou wanted to marry off his fourth daughter to Ye Feng, the idiot Young City Lord.

“Shen Lang, therefore, we mustn’t rush this and can only take it slowly.” Qin Mengli commented softly, “Although I love you, I’m still the Qin Clan member. Big brother is the person who dotes on me the most. Therefore, I will have to think about Qin Clan’s interest as well.”

Yang Dingtian shut his eyes slowly and sighed, “I understand. I will not make things hard for you.”

Qin Mengli kissed Yang Dingtian and said, “En, let me handle the rest. You don’t have to be bothered about it.”

Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, “Ah Li. When I said that, I would not make things hard for you referred to, not forcing you to leave Ye Wuzheng as well as wandering around the world with me. This includes me not killing Ye Feng during the martial arts competition. However, you can dream on if you want me to hand over the girl of Foxman Race!”

“No way!” Qin Mengli, “Is she that beautiful to the point that you’re unwilling to part with her?”

“She’s only 12 years old. And this has nothing to do with her loveliness. This would still be my attitude to it even if she were extremely ugly.” Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, “You know, I hate this point of yours the most. Your own life is life, but others’ lives aren’t? That was a beautiful and pure life. I will absolutely not let her die without any reason. I wandered around the world and is not interested in being a power seeker. I’m only interested in the ultimate secret behind this world. My dream is to rescue this world completely. Therefore, I treasure all kinds of life.”

“I will never be able to do it if you want me to handover this girl unless you kill me.” Yang Dingtian replied decisively.

Immediately, Qin Mengli looked at Yang Dingtian quietly. When she saw Yang Dingtian’s passionate and brave gaze, her heart had somewhat fallen into intoxication and adoration unknowingly. Furthermore, there was a kind of inferiority.

“Alright. I shall follow you. However, that girl of Foxman Race cannot stay beside you. You have to send her here and let her be by my side.” Qin Mengli replied.

“Sure.” Yang Dingtian commented, “I had already planned to do so even if you weren’t going to ask for it. However, I will need to look for her and learn the Foxman Race’s language regularly.”

Qin Mengli replied, “What’s so fun about learning the Foxman Race’s language. It’s just a small demi-human race.”

Yang Dingtian replied, “I’m extremely interested in any kind of unlearned knowledge.”

“You can see her anytime you want if she’s at my side.” Qin Mengli replied, “Let me handle the martial arts competition as well. I will never let you fall into a dangerous situation. I will not let the person I love to suffer from any injuries.”

Yang Dingtian immediately turned silent before replying, “As a matter of fact, I’m prepared to compete in the contest.”

“What? Why?” Qin Mengli inquired.

“I love you and wish to protect you. I don’t want to hide behind your back and live without any purpose.” Yang Dingtian continued, “Furthermore, I’m fully confident that I will be able to defeat Ye Feng.”

“Impossible. His cultivation is way higher than you.” Qin Mengli replied.

“In short, I’m confident.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Furthermore, I had agreed to his contest. Thus, I’m even safer. You have to know that the person who wanted to kill me is not Ye Feng, but your husband, Ye Wuzheng. Indeed, he couldn’t do anything to you, but it was the same for you as well. You wouldn’t be able to stop it if he really wished to kill me. If you’re thinking of ways to refuse the competition, he would still think of other ideas to kill me, and it would be even harder to defend against it.”

Qin Mengli bit onto her jade tooth, and her beautiful face became ice-cold.

Yang Dingtian was right. She was the person with the third highest authority in Qin City. However, all her status was due to the pamper of Qin Wanchou. She controlled a terrifying amount of wealth but had practically no authority at all. She didn’t own any territory and didn’t have any troops that were loyal to her. If they were going to have a battle, she wouldn’t hold an advantage against Ye Wuzheng.

“Once the big brother had resolved the issue with White Cloud City, I will definitely dismember Ye Wuzheng into a thousand pieces.” Qin Mengli said coldly.

After which, her gaze turned gentle again as she replied, “I really wish for that day to arrive earlier. When the time comes, I will be able to marry you legitimately.”

Yang Dingtian hugged Qin Mengli silently. He didn’t give a reply to her speech.

Qin Mengli whispered, “Husband, don’t you look forward to marrying me?”

“I’m certainly looking forward to it. I even dream of marrying you.” Yang Dingtian said, “However, you’re ultimately different from me. You still love the life of being rich. Meanwhile, I prefer traveling around.”

“Do you like to visit brothels?” All of a sudden, Qin Mengli inquired.

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “Nope. Over the years, I had basically no contact with any woman.”

“Once we get married, I will wait for you at home while you travel around. You can just return home once a year or two and accompany me for one or two months. I’m not a woman who is incapable of enduring loneliness. In fact, I only have a partner in a year, even when I was self-indulgent. Furthermore, they stayed for less than half a month. Thus, most of the time, I would be alone…” Qin Mengli whispered.

Before she finished speaking, she discovered that Yang Dingtian was frowning in unhappiness.

Qin Mengli chuckled, “Darling, you’re getting jealous when you listen to my past…”

“Alright. Stop talking about it.” Yang Dingtian replied impatiently.

“Sure, sure. Everything that happened in the past is my fault, as I didn’t keep myself pure for you who didn’t appear until now. In the future, I will use my remaining life to compensate you…” Qin Mengli spoke delicately.

From this point on, Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli’s cold war came to an end.

******************************************

During the night, Yang Dingtian’s thoughts were in a whirl when he saw Qin Mengli, who was in his embrace, sleeping soundly with a face that was filled with happiness.

At the start, Yang Dingtian was disgusted and held contempt for her. But now, he was filled with sympathy for her. Originally, he only had thoughts of exploiting her. Now, it had somewhat changed.

He had already planned out how to obtain the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map in his mind. In that case, his attitude toward this woman had somewhat changed as well.

The best ending would be obtaining the Mystic Flame map and stop using his Shen Lang identity. In name, he would continue wandering around the world. But in reality, he would never be back here again and would make Qin Mengli think that her lover, Shen Lang, had already died while wandering around the world. It was true that she would be hurt, but her heart might not be filled with happiness. At the very least, there was a man that loved her till he died within her heart.

*******************************

The next day, at around nine o’clock in the morning.

Both troops left the Red Stone Castle and continued their journey toward the Northwest Qin City. On that morning, there were quite a number of people who saw Yang Dingtian leaving Qin Mengli’s room. However, all of them turned a blind eye to it.

There was an additional group of troops other than Qin Mengli and White Cloud City troops when they left the Red Stone Castle. Red Stone Castle Master, Qin Zhongtian, led a group of three hundred men and advanced towards the Qin City together. He also wanted to participate in the Qin Clan Lord’s birthday celebration.

A few days before, Yang Dingtian would still put on an act and rode his horse as he traveled the journey as this group of thousand-men cavalry’s commander. But for the subsequent days, he no longer put forth an act. He had basically spent the rest of his time inside Qin Mengli’s chariot. In any case, there wouldn’t be any danger for this whole journey.

Most of the time was spent playing chess and fooling around with Qin Mengli. Either that or they would be playing cards.

Yang Dingtian had also discovered that Qin Mengli’s need for that sort of stuff was extremely low, so much that it was a little weaker than the majority of the women. What she preferred was the feeling of Yang Dingtian accompanying and pampering her. This had indeed caused Yang Dingtian to be somewhat startled. After a long period of interactions, he discovered that Qin Mengli was actually relatively simple-minded.

For the rest of the time, Yang Dingtian had used it to study the Foxman Race words and language together with the Ji’er, the girl of Foxman Race. At the start, it was only Yang Dingtian learning from her. After which, Qin Mengli had also joined in the fun. However, she stopped learning and was bored to death after learning less than a hundred words.

She pestered Yang Dingtian not to learn it as well since she didn’t want to study it. She would either run over to act coquettishly, kiss, or be intimate with him. As such, it had caused the 12 years old Ji’er to turn red from embarrassment.

At the start, Yang Dingtian played the game of Go with Qin Mengli. There was also Chinese chess. But ultimately, they played the Gomoku the most.

(NOTE: Gomoku is another strategy-based board game.)

This had gone beyond Yang Dingtian’s expectation because Gomoku was extremely simple when it was compared to the game of Go. Furthermore, it couldn’t be played on a normal tabletop. Originally, he felt that Qin Mengli’s thoughts were very deep and would definitely be fond of the game of Go. But in reality, ever since they started to play Gomoku, Qin Mengli had practically not touched the game of Go anymore.

When they were alone, they would play Gomoku or Chinese chess. But in the end, they no longer played Chinese chess and only played Gomoku.

When Su Mei was around, the three of them would play Fight The Landlord.

Finally, they added in Ji’er, and the four of them started to play mahjong. Yang Dingtian truly didn’t want to produce mahjong. Yang Dingtian finally didn’t have the heart to continue this on when he saw Ji’er Ashina standing at the side pitifully every single time, causing him to produce mahjong. From then on, it became impossible to stop once he started it.

Mahjong was truly worthy of being called the king of entertainment. Ever since the four of them started to play mahjong, the majority of their entertainment activities inside the chariot had become playing mahjong. Gomoku and Chinese chess became rarely played, and the game of Go had been left untouched since then.

Once they started playing mahjong, the time passed by even faster.

However, whenever Yang Dingtian ran into the West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng occasionally, the chilliness in his gaze became even denser. Even Ye Feng’s gaze was like looking at a dead man when he saw Yang Dingtian.

Just like that, Yang Dingtian played mahjong and studied the Foxman Race words and language throughout the journey. During the day, they would rush their journey and would rest during the night. This group of enormous troops wouldn’t even run into any vermin, let alone any dangers.

Furthermore, every time they passed by a city, they would enjoy sumptuous entertainment. And during the next day, when they were about to leave, their troops would increase by a dozen to several hundred men.

When it was about five days before Qin Wanchou’s 50th birthday, Yang Dingtian and the others had finally made their way into the Northwest Qin City; the true central location of the Northwest Continent.

Qin City Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu, had personally brought his men and welcomed them outside the city that was 50 miles away.

Of course, Yang Dingtian didn’t appear when Qin Huaiyu had come over to welcome and meet them. In fact, Qin Mengli kept on requesting him to be by her side at all times. However, Yang Dingtian rejected it to show that he was not the slightest bit interested in holding power.

Afterward, near 5,000 troops entered the Qin City majestically under Qin Huaiyu’s lead!
