Free Web NovelChapter 1480: Chapter 760: Settle Everything
...
"Because that despicable Situ Bufan is Shi Qingzhuang’s fiancée! Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. If I’m uncomfortable, naturally I must resolve everything, only then will I feel better!" Thinking of this, Qing Shui sighed softly. He didn’t know why Shi Qingzhuang kept appearing in his mind.
Qing Shui gently shook his head, trying to clear all the distracting thoughts. The idea of Situ Bufan possessing that cold beauty was enough to make his emotions spiral out of control as a wave of searing anger swept over him. Power and strength. These are the only things that matter in the Nine Continent World. With enough power, he can act as he wishes, even seizing those who have caught his interest.
As Qing Shui was lost in thought, Qing Luo took out a sealed box and handed it to Qing Shui. "Since you are so determined, Grandpa will agree to your wish... But Qing Shui, you must promise me that no matter what, you will never take this pill. Because if you do, any hope of reaching the Innate Realm will vanish like smoke in the air. Both your mother and I expect your growth in the future. Please remember this."
Even at this moment, Qing Luo continued to preach to Qing Shui about the dangers of the Foot God Pill. He worried that Qing Shui might find reaching the Innate Realm too difficult. Moreover, if any power in the future provokes or humiliates him, Qing Shui might, on impulse, consume that flawed Divine Medicine, thus burying his potential.
After all, the adult ceremony had ended, Qing Shui was no longer a boy but was officially seen as an adult man. Luoluo believed he would be able to think and make the right decision. Anyway, a person is entitled to have some secrets, so Qing Luo did not ask Qing Shui why he wanted the Foot God Pill. "Sigh, if only I had known he would make such a request..." Qing Luo shook his head. If he knew that Qing Shui wanted that piece of divine medicine, he wouldn’t have so boldly suggested that Qing Shui could take anything he wanted from the Qing Family’s treasure trove!

Qing Shui expressed his gratitude after receiving the sealed box. Then he noticed Qing Youu’s face was red, seemingly wanting to say something but refraining from speaking, for fear of interrupting prematurely.
"Grandpa..." After this voice sounded, there was no other sound for a long time.
Qing Luo laughed. His favorite grandchild since childhood was Qing Youu, so how could he not know what Qing Youu was thinking? Every time he wanted something, Qing Youu would show this special expression on his face. Qing Luo had just received six 100-year-old Fiery Fire Fruits, and Qing Youu had that expression on his face. How could Qing Luo not put two and two together?
"Hahaha, child, I know you want the 100-year-old Fiery Fruits. Giving you two is not impossible, but you must promise me that you will strive hard. Besides, after enhancing your strength, you cannot challenge others wantonly to show off your power." After saying this, Qing Luo took out two from the 100-year Fiery Fire Fruits and tossed them to Qing Youu.
Qing Shui and Qing Yi watched happily as Qing Youu held onto the fruits, clearly excited. At this moment, one could see the wonder, joy, sincerity, and gratitude for Qing Yi in Qing Youu’s eyes.
Afterwards, the three of them left, and Qing Youu excitedly said: "Aunt, Brother Qing Shui, I’ll go enhance my strength now. I’ll meet you afterward." He didn’t even wait for their response, then turned around and ran off at full speed.
Watching Qing Youu’s enthusiasm, Qing Yi laughed and said to Qing Shui: "Your little cousin Qing Youu hasn’t been able to sleep for days. He’s too excited."
"Indeed it is. In this cultivation-oriented world, what is happier than attaining great power?" Qing Shui smiled.
Back at their residence, Qing Shui decided to open the sealed box to see the infamous Foot God Pill. The box contained a small white bottle, palm-sized. Just as Qing Shui was about to open it, Qing Yi stopped him.
"Don’t rashly open it, otherwise, after brewing a cup of tea, the pill’s efficacy will be lost."
Qing Shui halted his actions, "Hmm, can’t I just take a peek?" Qing Shui really wanted to know what this notorious pill looked like.
"No." Qing Yi’s tone was unmistakable.
Ah, forget it, since he couldn’t peek at the pill, it was better to pack it back. Today was the 15th of the month. That was the day of the Lantern Festival in his previous world. In the Nine Continent World, games like lantern riddles were not popular, but the whole village was still bustling with an exceptionally lively atmosphere. People were everywhere, as if everyone residing in Qing Village was wandering the streets, enjoying the Lantern Festival spirit.
"Mother, it’s so lively there, let’s not just stay here." Qing Shui wanted to make the most of his time and enjoy the festival atmosphere with Qing Yi. After all, such opportunities were rare for both of them.
