Chapter 726: Kingdom-toppling Beauty
Li Qiye remained unperturbed despite the old woman's True Dragon-like blood energy. He said dismissively: "I don't know whether I am invincible in this world or not, I only know that I will smash this carriage apart if the person inside does not come out! My patience is limited, I do not wish to repeat myself a second time."
"You!" The old woman was shaking with anger. Even Supreme Celestial Being Ye Qingcheng whom others called the number one genius of the Stone Medicine World wouldn't dare to talk to them like this. But now, Li Qiye dared to utter such arrogant words!
"Grandma, it is fine. It is about time for me to meet Young Noble Li." Right when the old woman was about to unleash her fury, a girl's voice came from the carriage.
This voice was completely charming and pleasant. Anyone who heard this voice would imagine that this girl had supreme beauty.
After hearing her young miss, the old woman had to swallow her anger. However, she still angrily glared at Li Qiye since she was especially annoyed at him.
The old woman opened the carriage's door, letting out a girl. The moment she appeared, the sun and moon were eclipsed and myriad existences were shamed!
Even the words "supreme beauty" were not enough to describe her. With a willowy and pretty figure, her perfect features couldn't be described with the pen. Calling such a peerless girl the number one beauty in the Stone Medicine World was still not enough.
She wore a light yellow dress that accentuated her kingdom-toppling beauty! She was so stunning that anyone who met her would immediately think that she was a celestial with an air of calmness. Her pretty eyes with spirited glimmers were even more radiant than the stars.
A celestial with great intelligence and confidence that was prepared to face anything. She didn't have an oppressive and arrogant aura either, but humility was not the right way to put it. Her temperament gave the sensation of perfection, like ink coming together with paper; it was too difficult to describe.
Madam Zi Yan's beauty could also be described as kingdom-toppling. Although her beauty was not the reason why she was renowned around the world, many people would agree that she was absolutely gorgeous. However, before this girl, even the madam’s beauty dimmed; she simply couldn't compare!
"She is…" Tie Yi was shocked after seeing this girl ahead and immediately drilled into the ground, no longer daring to show his face.
Li Qiye was as calm as ever as he gauged the girl from top to bottom without missing any details. In the eyes of others, his current appearance was one of a womanizer, causing the old woman to snort in great disapproval.
However, the peerless beauty ahead was very graceful and free. Despite Li Qiye's enjoyment, she was neither angry nor embarrassed.
Prior to this, Li Qiye had also met stunning beauties, such as Jian Wushuang. However, although Jian Wushuang had astonishing features, she didn't have the same aura as the girl in front of him. This girl held a noble air with formidable wisdom as if she would be unperturbed by anything! Based on just temperaments alone, Jian Wushuang couldn't compare to her.
The peerless beauty spoke slowly towards Li Qiye as if she was unstained by this mundane world: "I rarely meet people, but I can understand why Young Noble Li was unhappy."
Li Qiye looked at her and said: "Today, my mood was quite sour, but it’s much improved after seeing you!"
His words were obviously teasing her. Other women would not give Li Qiye a good reaction even if they didn't get angry. However, this girl didn't show her attitude and gently nodded to say: "It is a kind of honor to be able to improve Young Noble Li's mood."
"Not bad, not bad at all." Li Qiye smiled and said: "I appreciate girls like you! It is indeed difficult for others to not like such a smart girl. A supreme beauty needs more than just a good bag of skin; one needs a sense of self-awareness and wisdom."
Li Qiye's frank teasing would cause any beauty to be offended, but not this peerless girl ahead. However, the old woman next to her was angry enough for both of them as she maintained her cold glare on Li Qiye.
Even the madam standing by his side couldn't help but wryly smile. Only her Young Master would openly flirt with this peerless beauty like this.
"I am honored at Young Noble's praises." The girl chuckled, but this chuckle alone was so kingdom-toppling that it could steal the souls from others, causing them to be forever enchanted.
"A pearl in the night!" Li Qiye looked at the peerless beauty and praised: "Little girl, you have tempted me, so follow me."
"Ah…" The madam next to him was at a loss for words. This was rather too domineering. He actually wanted a peerless beauty to follow him on their first meeting!
However, the madam thought about it some more; wasn't it the same when she met her Young Master for the first time?
"Such a big tone, do you know who our Young Miss is?" The girl didn't answer, but the old woman couldn't help but say: "In this entire world, there are very few men worthy of our Young Miss!"
Li Qiye smirked and said: "In the nine worlds and ten realms, there are very few women worthy of marrying me! Either way, I want her, but not to marry her!"
"You!" The old woman was now shivering with rage. Anyone in this world would lose their mind when they met her Young Miss. Even the supreme celestial being, Ye Qingcheng, was no exception.
But now, this Li Qiye pushed it even further. He wanted her Young Miss to follow him, and he even dared to arrogantly say that he wouldn't marry her? She had truly never seen such an arrogant and egotistical man.
"Does Young Noble Li want me to become your concubine?" The peerless girl revealed a wonderful smile and shook her head: "I'm afraid I'm not used to being someone's concubine."
Despite the teasing, she remained unruffled and managed to display her amazing temperament. Such a look would captivate the heart of others.
"The more I look at you, the more I like you." Li Qiye smiled and said: "However, little girl, don't misunderstand. I only need you to be by my side! In the future, there will be a spot for you among my supreme generals!"
"Supreme general?" The old woman interjected and said: "My Young Miss will be the one to bear this generation's Heaven's Will!"
"With me here, who else is qualified to shoulder the Heaven's Will?" Li Qiye chuckled and said: "However, I like you. If you follow me, then in the future when we are at the apex, the master of the order of generals, the controller of the decree to the nine worlds will be none other than you."
The madam was moved after hearing this. Her Young Master's words clearly showed how much he valued the peerless girl before them. However, this was not surprising at all considering her origin.
The initially angry old woman was stumped and couldn't say anything. If she didn't know Li Qiye's abilities, she would definitely say that he was ignorant, but she knew the situation so she couldn't refute him.
The peerless girl looked at Li Qiye, revealing a smile that would cause all the flowers to lose their colors and said: "It is our first meeting, yet Young Noble Li is already entrusting me with such a great task, are you not afraid that I will decline due to the difficulty?"
Anyone else would think that Li Qiye was insane, but this girl with an amazing background answered in such a manner.
Li Qiye casually batted his eyes and said: "I am rarely wrong when it comes to judging people. Moreover, if you weren't capable, then the old geezer buried beneath the Star Cliff wouldn't pass his legacy onto you."
This revelation greatly shocked the old woman. She immediately stepped forward with an aura as fierce as an unsheathed divine sword, completely different from before.
It was clear that she intended to harm Li Qiye, even to the point of killing him in order to keep this secret!
Meanwhile, the confident girl was still calm. Her expression shifted a little after hearing him, but she didn't overreact. She shook her head gently at the old woman and said: "Grandma, we can't."
The old woman gazed at Li Qiye for a long time before snorting and went back behind the peerless girl. However, her old eyes remained fixated on Li Qiye as if she would attack at any moment.
Li Qiye only smiled leisurely against such hostility and said: "It is wise not to attack me. A Virtuous Paragon is no big deal for me."
The old woman felt extremely aggravated after being provoked by a junior like Li Qiye. if it wasn't for her Young Miss, she would have already tried to teach Li Qiye a lesson.
The peerless girl gently sighed and said: "Young Noble's conduct is impossible to predict. Very few people know this secret. Where did Young Noble learn of it?"
She was secretly shaken after Li Qiye's revelation because very few people knew about this matter, including even the sect she came from. And yet, an outsider like Li Qiye actually knew this secret!
"Don't be surprised." Li Qiye said: "Others might not know why the old geezer below the Star Cliff passed his legacy down to you, but I can tell you an old tale. A very long time ago, a rock fell down from the Bi'an Beastworld. However, the truth that the world didn't know was that it wasn't just one rock that fell down that year, but three!" 1, (Hybrid of tiger and dragon) a creature that likes litigation, are placed over prison gates (in order to keep guard).]
"I cannot permit you to live any longer!" The old woman suddenly became horrified and no longer hid her murderous intent. She instantly wanted to take action.
However, before she could get close to Li Qiye, the Imperial Draco-Bull raised its front hooves and kicked heavily. With a loud bang, the old woman was forced to take several steps back from the blow. It didn't matter that she was an amazing Virtuous Paragon!
726 TeaserLi Qiye remained unperturbed despite the old woman's True Dragon-like blood energy. He said dismissively: "I don't know whether I am invincible in this world or not, I only know that I will smash this carriage apart if the person inside does not come out! My patience is limited, I do not wish to repeat myself a second time."
"You!" The old woman was shaking with anger. Even Supreme Celestial Being Ye Qingcheng whom others called the number one genius of the Stone Medicine World wouldn't dare to talk to them like this. But now, Li Qiye dared to utter such arrogant words!
"Grandma, it is fine. It is about time for me to meet Young Noble Li."
[collapse] The [bi’an 狴犴 ↩Chapter 727: Ming Yexue
The old woman was astounded after being kicked back by the beast. She was a paragon yet was still blown back like this. One could easily imagine just how heaven-defying this seemingly inconspicuous buffalo was.
"Out of consideration for this little girl, I won't kill you. However, don't try to provoke me. Even a lineage like yours is not worthy to be in my sight!" Li Qiye slowly uttered.
The old woman's expression became a bit unsightly. No one had ever dared to speak in such a bold manner or look down on their lineage, but these words came out from Li Qiye's mouth today.
"Grandma, it's fine." The peerless girl gently waved her sleeve and shook her head again after seeing the old woman wanting to give them another shot.
The old woman finally stopped after receiving the command from her Young Miss. However, she was still cautious towards Li Qiye because he knew too much. If necessary, their lineage would use absolutely any means necessary to silence him.
Li Qiye stared at the girl ahead, then he walked from his carriage to her. The two of them stood face to face. It could even be said that they could feel each other's breaths.
They peered into each other's eyes as if they wanted to read something within that they didn't want outsiders to know.
After a while, Li Qiye began to gently caress the peerless girl's beautiful face. Such an action was completely out of line and would be intolerable to any other girl! The old woman's murderous intent rose once again. Her Young Miss was not for anyone to shame!
The peerless girl gently waved her sleeve again to stop the old woman. Meanwhile, Madam Zi Yan was in disbelief. She had guessed the girl's background, but her Young Master actually still dared to flirt with her like this on their first meeting.
What was even more astonishing was that this peerless girl didn't reject his advance. One must know that countless men in this world immediately fell in love with her at first sight. Even the most incomparable genius would instantly fall for her!
Li Qiye continued to gently caress her face with a very delicate motion as if she was his lover. At the same time, the peerless girl closed her eyes to feel his tender touch. It seemed that at this second, she was sensing his stroke while he was able to feel her heartbeat.
This scene became eternal, as if time had stopped. Both the madam and the old women were stunned while looking at the two.
The old woman knew her Young Miss all too well. She had never been close to people, but today, she accepted this gesture of affection from a stranger during the first meeting.
"This is… unbelievable." Tie Yi emerged from the ground to witness this scene unfold and was moved as well since he knew a thing or two!
No one knew how long this affectionate scene lasted, but Li Qiye eventually withdrew his hand. He gazed at the peerless girl inches away from him and gently shook his head to say: "You are not a descendant of the Ming Clan."
"Nonsense!" The old woman cried out in shock after hearing this: "Young Noble Li, one can eat carelessly but cannot speak without thinking!"
This had something to do with a great secret that their lineage would absolutely not want outsiders to find out.
The peerless girl gestured and said: "Grandma, it's fine. Young Noble Li is not an outsider."
"Young Miss…" The old woman was dumbstruck after hearing this because that word had many implications and secrets within.
The peerless girl stopped there and looked at Li Qiye to introduce herself: "I am Ming Yexue of the Alchemy Kingdom, it is my pleasure to meet Young Noble Li."
Ming Yexue! The main descendant of the Alchemy Kingdom, the number one beauty of the Stone Medicine World, a mysterious person who had always kept a low profile. Although very few people had seen her true appearance, her reputation was widespread in the entire world!
Who in this world didn't know the name Fairy Ming Yexue? Who didn't know about the descendant of the Alchemy Kingdom?!
Li Qiye smiled and gently shook his head to say: "No, little girl. To be more exact, welcome back. Stay by my side from now on."
Prior to this, he was uncertain whether they had met before. However, this familiar sensation and the unforgettable heartbeat that he knew so well…
To him, it didn't matter if this peerless girl was Ming Yexue, the descendant of the Alchemy Kingdom, she was still her!
"I still don't understand." The contemporary number one beauty with unfathomable strength couldn't grasp Li Qiye's intentions. He gave her a very familiar feeling, one of dependence and closeness.
"It is fine not to understand. The past is not important, you will understand in the future." Li Qiye smiled. At this moment, he was in a particularly good mood.
Li Qiye stretched out his hand, and although Ming Yexue was dazed for a moment, she gently touched his arm in a natural and relaxed manner as if this was how things should be.
While looking at this scene, the madam, the old woman, and Tie Yi were all astonished. This scene was so natural that people simply wouldn't want to destroy it.
This was the number one beauty of this world! Countless geniuses and imperial descendants wanted to court her but were unable to do so. At this very minute, she intimately held Li Qiye's hand like lovers. This action was as affectionate as it could be. Any spectator would be jealous at such a scene. The younger generation would be driven crazy by this since Ming Yexue was the goddess in many of their minds!
At this point, the old woman noticed her Young Miss following Li Qiye to his carriage. She was taken aback and hesitantly said: "Young Miss, I'm afraid this won't be good."
Li Qiye looked at the old woman who was nervous from wanting to protect her Young Miss. He only smiled and said: "Hundred-Life definitely didn't reveal many secrets to you."
"You, you are…" The old woman was astounded because just these words alone revealed a monumental secret. Even ordinary ancestors in their kingdom didn't know this. She was only able to become privy to it since she was the one who accompanied Ming Yexue during her childhood!
"Your Alchemy Kingdom has no notable secrets to me." Li Qiye sat on the carriage and said: "Besides, you don't need to be so paranoid. I will cherish this little girl more than anyone else. My protection for her will far exceed the likes of what your Alchemy Kingdom can provide!" Having said that, he gently stroked Ming Yexue's hair.
At this time, Ming Yexue was sitting next to him while Madam Zi Yan took the other side. Both of them were great beauties, especially Ming Yexue who was especially peerless. Such a scene was incredibly enviable and jealousy-inducing.
The old woman stared at Li Qiye for a while before choosing to be quiet. It was just as he said, there were many secrets that she did not know. For example, her Young Miss was said to be the descendant of the Ming Clan, however, very few people in the kingdom knew that this was not the truth!
Tie Yi looked at Ming Yexue following Li Qiye and couldn't help but wet his dry lips and murmur: "Damn, so amazing, is this actually happening?" He knew a particular secret, but he was still in disbelief after seeing this scene since it was just too shocking for him.
Ming Yexue's eyes fell upon Tie Yi who still had half of his body underground. She revealed a faint, charming smile and asked: "This Fellow Daoist… Have we met before?"
Tie Yi's expression greatly changed after hearing this; it was as if he had seen a ghost. He immediately waved his palms in denial and said: "No, no, no, Fairy Ming is thinking too highly of this lowly one. This lowly one is only a small, insignificant ant demon that has only heard of Fairy's great name; this lowly one has never seen Fairy's face before. Our meeting today is this lowly one's blessing that had been accumulated for three lifetimes." With that, he immediately drilled into the ground and escaped without a trace as if he was very afraid.
Li Qiye understood Tie Yi's action very clearly, but he didn't point it out. He simply stroked Ming Yexue's jade-like hand while closing his eyes, seemingly caught in old memories.
"I have some questions." After a while, Ming Yexue softly spoke to him. She was so calm and elegant that it would cause others to become intoxicated.
Even a beauty like Madam Zi Yan had to admit that calling her the number one beauty in the Stone Medicine World was not enough.
"I know, but none of that matters." Li Qiye said with a smile: "You will understand later. However, I have something to remind you of right now. Your Alchemy Kingdom has someone using the Heaven Suppression Formation, aiming to capture me! Out of consideration for you, I will not pursue this matter. However, if there is ever a second time, I will overturn the Alchemy Kingdom."
"Overturn the Alchemy Kingdom!" The old woman was upset at such words. She was from the kingdom and its direct branch at that. How could she be happy when Li Qiye said such things in front of her?
"I know you are annoyed with me." Li Qiye chuckled and said: "If you can meet Hundred-Life, let him know that your Alchemy Kingdom shouldn't forget your past mistakes. Don't forget the aftermath of the Divine Beast Realm!"
Such words rendered her breathless because she had heard a few legends that were known by fewer than few people. Even the kingdom's big shots didn't know about them!
"Young Noble Li shouldn't blame Grandma, she is just very protective towards me." Ming Yexue slowly said.
Li Qiye looked at the old woman and said: "I'm not mad at her. If I was, then the Imperial Draco-Bull wouldn't have simply kicked her away earlier!"
