Chapter 447: 447 Old and Feeble_1

Translator: 549690339

After a year of such heavenly days, the current position of Qin Changqing and the Sect Leader was rather far from the Vast Wave Realm.

This year, for Qin Changqing, was indeed full of absolute joy and pleasure, fulfilling both his body and mind.

Now, during the day, Qin Changqing also liked to walk hand in hand with the Sect Leader.

However, after this year, although Qin Changqing had taken no measures.

The Sect Leader’s belly showed no signs of change.

Becoming pregnant was more difficult for those with Immortal Spirit Roots, which was something Qin Changqing had anticipated.

He wasn’t in a hurry, there was still plenty of time.

It wouldn’t be too late to conceive after the wedding ceremony, so as to avoid carrying a big belly at the wedding.

This journey was pretty uneventful.

In fact, Qin Changqing got to play the hero on several occasions, dealing with some petty thieves in secular kingdoms, and leaving behind tales of his swift deeds in certain areas.

After a year, Qin Changqing and the Sect Leader began their journey back home.

The route Qin Changqing chose for the return journey was entirely different, and finally led them through the Mo Yun Realm, back to the Vast Wave Realm.

At this time, there were still three months left until the wedding.

The North Region was already filled with cultivators from many other realms.

Because Qin Changqing had issued wide invitations, the number of arrivals was exceptionally high.

All the major holy land sent representatives, and they all took the occasion very seriously.

This was the first time Qin Changqing had actively distributed invitations.

Although Qin Changqing’s previous weddings were grand, he did not take the initiative to invite guests.

This was done by the holy lands that wanted to form a good relationship with Qin Changqing, and they sent their people on their own initiative.

Upon returning to the North Region, the Sect Leader went back to the Taichu Sacred Land, she was to be wedded from there.

The Taichu Sacred Land was considered to be her maiden home.

“Master Dongxuan, welcome”

“Senior Xuanding, please”

One month before the wedding, representatives from all the holy lands had already started to arrive.

These holy lands even dispatched important people familiar with Qin Changqing to attend.

For instance, the Taixu Sacred Land sent Master Dongxuan, while the Nine Tripods Holy Land sent an alchemist named Xuanding, who was renowned in his field and at a Combine Body stage of power.

The Sky Inquiry Academy still sent Master Feng Tian, while representatives from the other holy lands boasted strength at the Combine Body stage.

Lord-tier beings are not always available to be dispatched.

After all, the Lord-tier beings of each holy land were Tribulation Passing Stage powerhouses, and sometimes they were too caught up with their tribulation to get involved.

With the arrival of people from these holy lands, the bustling on Crouching Dragon Mountain increased.

One day, Qin Changqing welcomed an unexpected guest.

It was Ji Family, led by two people: one was the Combined Body of Ji Family whom Qin Changqing had met before.

The other was a Tribulation Passing Stage powerhouse, who was the great grandfather of Ji Ziling.

They brought Qin Changqing a generous wedding gift; they did not mention anything else and seemed to be here only to attend Qin Changqing’s wedding.

Seeing the arrival of Ji Family, Qin Changqing welcomed them without hesitation, showing them into his home.

Every visitor is a guest.

As long as they weren’t there to cause trouble, Qin Changqing would naturally treat them with courtesy.

As the wedding day drew closer, more and more guests arrived.

Many people arrived well in advance, naturally they did not all arrive on the same day.

The outer mansion of the Qin Mansion became increasingly lively.

And on this day, Qin Changqing received a message from the Sect Leader’s aunt.

The sect leader’s parents… are here!

They wanted to meet Qin Changqing.

This news didn’t really come as a surprise to Qin Changqing.

The sect leader’s parents weren’t too terrible to the sect leader. The previous incident was engineered by that woman taking advantage of the absence of her parents.

However, after the sect leader left, her parents didn’t go out of their way to look for her like her aunt did, instead, they had a daughter.

Over the years, the sect leader’s parents have been in the Purple Gold Holy Land guarding their daughter and have never come to visit her.

It is understandable, after all, inside the Purple Gold Holy Land, there still lingers the son of that woman. If they don’t guard, he might take advantage of the situation and harm their daughter.

Although that woman had dispatched people numerous times in the past, the news never spread.

The news dissipated the last time, when Qin Changqing emerged victorious and even the Purple Gold Holy Land suffered a loss due to his formidable strength.

After that episode, Qin Changqing had manifested his formidable strength and potential. Multiple holy lands were courting his favor, offering protection to the sect leader. It’s likely for this reason that the sect leader’s parents didn’t come looking for her.

Nevertheless, deep down, the sect leader harbored some resentment.

Upon receiving the news, Qin Changqing paid a visit to the Taichu Sacred Land.

Shortly, in the main hall of the Taichu Sacred Land, he met the sect leader’s parents.

The sect leader’s parents didn’t seem very youthful, appearing middle-aged.

Their cultivation base was still at the Deifying stage and hadn’t reached the Void Refinement stage.

Next to them was a young girl, presumably the sect leader’s sister, Dongfang Ning.

Dongfang Ning looked somewhat similar to the sect leader but paled in comparison when it came to attractiveness.

Perhaps due to her younger age and lack of hardships under her parents’ protection, she appeared carefree, resembling an innocent character from a television drama.

As for her cultivation base, she had already reached the Deifying stage, which was quite impressive.

Her spiritual root was probably not bad either. She was only a hundred years younger than the sect leader. Being able to reach Deifying stage at such a young age, she likely has a Heavenly Spirit Root.

The sect leader’s family was quite peculiar, with the parents giving birth to two prodigies.

However, both of them seemed to be aging rapidly. Given their cultivation level and age, their life expectancy had not yet crossed halfway.

I wonder if it’s because they had two prodigies.

This situation didn’t exist in the Qin family.

Of all the women in Qin Changqing’s life, except for the Hai Clan woman, the rest had many children, yet none of them had ever experienced physical depletion from childbirth.

Generally, female cultivators stop conceiving once it could potentially deteriorate their physical health.

When Qin Changqing appeared, the sect leader’s little sister looked at him with curiosity.

The sect leader, on the other hand, looked utterly serene.

“Qing, come, let me introduce you. This is Mengxian’s father and mother.”

Seeing Qin Changqing, the sect leader’s aunt took the initiative to introduce them.

“Uncle, Aunt, hello.”

Qin Changqing politely greeted them.

“This is Mengxian’s younger sister Ning.”

Then, the sect leader’s aunt introduced Dongfang Ning.

Qin Changqing gave her a slight nod.

“Qing, these years we’re deeply grateful for your care for Mengxian. The situation in Purple Gold Holy Land is complicated, and we were deeply anxious for Mengxian when Ning was focusing on her training to advance to the Deifying stage. However, we couldn’t leave due to the tight watch of that woman’s people on us. The moment we would step out of the Purple Gold Holy Land, we would potentially be used as pawns to threaten Mengxian.”

“After Ning broke through to the Deifying stage a few years ago, we wanted to seize the opportunity to leave. Once the news of your impending marriage with Mengxian spread, the powerful personage behind the Purple Gold Saint probably intended to improve relations with you and they specifically sent people to escort us over.”

The sect leader’s father explained a litany of reasons why they couldn’t pay a visit to the sect leader for the past few years upon meeting.

The reason for doing this was probably to prevent Qin Changqing from resenting them as well.

“Qing, as you are about to marry Mengxian, this is our first time meeting. Please accept this meeting gift.”
