Chapter 566 A Woman 500 Years Older Than Her: The Night Mist Sea

A red dog barks all over the hillside; a famous person attracts a lot of trouble.

Being too popular is also a sin. Qin Ming always believed he could make his way in the world through his own abilities, so how did he become a "bewitching goddess"? He actually managed to make a fairy-like woman fall in love with him.

To be honest, this female immortal was indeed beautiful. Her waist-length black hair was so shiny it reflected the light, her skin was like solidified cream, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her oval face carried a gentle smile. She was fresh and elegant.

She didn't have the air of someone who's "500 years older"; on the contrary, she was still young. If you didn't know her identity, you would only feel that she was a beautiful and youthful girl.

Being favored by the fairy sister puts a lot of pressure on Qin Ming.

Faced with her gentle gaze, Qin Ming stood ramrod straight, like a spear rooted to the ground.

The silver-haired old man had strands of snow-white, translucent hair and a kind face. His resemblance to his son-in-law became even more apparent. He turned to the female immortal and asked, "What do you think?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, very good."

She smiled without showing her teeth, seemingly quite satisfied.

Qin Ming was bewildered. This fairy-like woman, who was at least five hundred years older than him, had actually taken a liking to him.

At this moment, he thought of the departed Qingyue and many other things. What should he do now? How could he break the deadlock?

Who wouldn't feel pressured if the woman was 500 years older than him? The two had no feelings for each other, were from different generations, so why were they "patched together"?

The silver-haired old man asked, "You have concerns? What is there to worry about? The two of you together are a perfect match, and this will be a beautiful story."

He believed that the other party already knew his background and was aware of the matter.

After all, he had approached Bai Meng, asked her many questions about Qin Ming, and discussed his purpose. Given Bai Meng's big mouth, she was sure she wouldn't keep anything to herself and would tell Qin Ming everything.

The Bai Meng lineage has had a bad habit since their ancestors—they have a sharp tongue. Otherwise, they wouldn't have angered a powerful being, had their teeth pulled out, their noses broken, and been cursed.

In fact, Bai Meng endured it with great perseverance, determination, and willpower. After all, this was a question from the dignified ancestor, and he did not want to reveal the "secrets of heaven" for fear of being beaten in the end.

He still held this ancestor in high esteem; otherwise, he wouldn't have "run away from home" after learning that Taixu's mansion existed in Sky City, instead going to hang out with Qin Ming and Pei Shuyan in places like Caishenfang, unwilling to linger under the old monster's nose.

A perfect match? After a few words came to Qin Ming's mind, he unconsciously looked at the female immortal.

The silver-haired old man thought to himself, "Why are you looking at her like that?"
The noble seventh-realm female immortal wondered if they were waiting for her to express her opinion, to see if she also agreed with the matter.
Although she was gentle, she exuded a certain aura in her every move. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, no problem. It's good to be together. You'll be a perfect couple in the future."

Qin Ming felt a little numb. He hadn't known how good his sister was when he was young... Now he realized that she was a celestial being, and she was being so proactive.

The key point is that she spoke with poise and elegance, without any hesitation or awkwardness, and in a very natural and generous manner.

Qin Ming pondered, could it be that the other party's confident demeanor was also implying a strong stance, intending to make a final decision without allowing for any questioning or rebuttal?

"What, are you still hesitating?" The silver-haired old man glanced at him sideways.

Qin Ming thought to himself: Sure enough, they're going to threaten me, using their power to intimidate me.

"Senior, you've misunderstood. What I wanted to say was..."

The silver-haired old man interrupted him, his expression softening, and said, "I know you have a woman you've known since childhood, a childhood sweetheart, but she's gone and will most likely never return. Because you don't understand how mysterious and profound that supreme Daoist field is."

The female immortal expressed her understanding, saying, "The obsessions of youth will eventually dissipate with the wind."

Qin Ming braced himself and said, "What have I done to deserve such high regard from you?" He wanted to politely decline.

The silver-haired old man said, "I know you may be in some trouble, but it's okay. Once we're family, none of that will matter."

The female immortal nodded and said, "At that time, I'll see who dares to touch the person I've chosen. Also, I'll arrange your future cultivation; you'll receive plenty of true scriptures and secret medicines."

At this moment, Qin Ming deeply understood what it meant to have avoided 500 years of struggle; even the fairy godmother had made arrangements.

The elderly man with silver hair nodded frequently, indicating his approval.

Qin Ming realized that the ancients were right: "A woman five hundred years older than herself can dominate the misty sea."

For a moment, he really wavered, even thinking about years and decades later. Was he really the son-in-law of an immortal family? What would his child's surname be?
He quickly took a deep breath, cutting off his chaotic thoughts.

If you don't strive when you're young, when will you ever fight? If you have an outdated vision and only think about avoiding five hundred years of struggle, it will corrupt your heroic spirit and wear down your ambition.

No, he absolutely cannot indulge in this gentle embrace. He must wield the gleaming white golden sword, his heart burning with lofty ambitions, his spirit soaring across mountains and rivers, like a dragon sweeping across the land!
But if he refused to her face, she would be embarrassed, and what if she turned on him? Qin Ming thought he could use the Dog Sword Immortal as an excuse to intimidate her.

If all else fails, he will uncover some secrets of the celestial being Liu Mo and then use that information to his advantage.

“Fairy Sister, I am not as good as you think. Your status is noble, like the bright moon hanging high, while I am just a minor cultivator in the third realm, standing in the dust.”

He silently thought to himself: Old Bu is more reliable when it comes to work, so he should be able to completely hide my true identity, right?

He dared to go to heaven because he had a rag on his body. Although it was useless and was usually ignored, even a "waste cloth" can shine in some way.

The silver-haired old man's eyes changed; the more he listened, the more suspicious he became.

The fairy sister's face stiffened slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she had misheard, and she stared at him intently.

……

Before an incense stick had burned, Bai Meng, who had been wandering outside for two days, returned to the magnificent mansion. After being summoned by the two patriarchs, he went to find Tang Yushang with a mysterious expression.

"Sister, the two ancestors have gone to see Brother Ming."

Tang Yushang was surprised and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? The previous matter is long gone. Why did the ancestor go to warn him again? That's not good."

Bai Meng was straightforward and said, "No, the Ancestor is considering taking in a son-in-law."

"What?" Tang Yushang was shocked.

"For whom?" she asked quickly.

"For you," Bai Meng said matter-of-factly.

Tang Yushang was stunned. In her mind, her ancestor was protective of her and had always stood up for her. He had previously gone to Qin Ming to warn him not to bully her.

Now, when she hears this news for the first time, she finds it unbelievable.

She was once beaten until she cried, but the ancestor didn't go to avenge her; instead, he asked the other party if they were married.

She mistakenly believed that her ancestor favored her and stood up for her. Now she was completely dumbfounded, and then she was trembling with anger and cold.

"what……"

Bai Meng said, "Sister, stop calling me that. I think you're just stunned for a moment and haven't seen your true feelings. Actually, you two are quite suitable for each other."

Xiao Bai, who loves gossip, said, "I'll go check it out for you and see what's going on."

In fact, Tang Yushang also quietly followed.

Not only that, Bai Meng first approached Pei Shuyan and Cheng Sheng, who were staying at the same inn as Qin Ming.

"Little White, come here." The silver-haired old man possessed profound knowledge and sensed them from a great distance the moment they appeared.

Even though this inn has a powerful background and is equipped with a super magic array, it cannot block his spiritual perception.

Bai Meng was indeed afraid of him; he felt intimidated every time he saw the patriarch.

However, after a moment, he couldn't help it, and the corners of his mouth kept turning up. In the end, he couldn't control himself and almost... laughed himself crazy.

Pei Shuyan and Cheng Sheng couldn't help but smile, their lips curling up in unison.

What a dreamlike, heavenly scene this was! Qin Ming was completely stunned and wanted to disappear into the ground.

Bai Meng temporarily lost his reverence for the Earth Immortal Ancestor and burst out laughing. How far had Brother Ming misunderstood that he actually thought he was going to marry the Earth Immortal Grandmother?

The silver-haired old man reached out his large hand, wanting to grab Qin Ming and crush him; he was truly at his wit's end.

His eyes were sharp, and he wanted to say: I value you and wanted to help you find a good match so you could marry your Daoist partner, but I didn't want you to marry my Daoist partner! He wanted to kick Qin Ming away. What was this kid thinking?
Even the grief-stricken Cheng Sheng found it absurd and wanted to laugh out loud. Qin Ming had gone on a blind date and taken a liking to the elders of the other party's family?
Pei Shuyan's calm and composed state of mind was shattered, and he grinned from ear to ear.

"I didn't!" Qin Ming tried to explain, as he had clearly declined at the last minute.

Moreover, it was all a misunderstanding.

In the distance, under the cover of night, Tang Yushang was also bewildered by the wind. Her earlier shame, anger, trembling, and coldness had all vanished, and she was truly shocked.

She thought to herself: I treat you like a brother, but you want to be my great-grandfather?!

In fact, this elderly couple of immortal cultivators were of a much higher generation than this, and Tang Yushang only referred to them as their great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

The fairy sister was naturally stunned at first, and quite angry that she almost got married.
However, she soon burst out laughing. At her advanced age of several hundred years, she could still have such a misunderstanding, which showed that she was as charming as ever.

If it weren't for the gentle fairy sister being there, Qin Ming might have been severely punished by the silver-haired old earth immortal.

Undoubtedly, the matter was temporarily shelved. The atmosphere was too awkward, and both sides felt it was outrageous, so they were speechless for a moment.

The two immortals thought it best to let things cool down first.

Even the next day, Pei Shuyan was still marveling, "A woman five hundred years older, she alone dominates the Sea of ​​Night Mist!"

Cheng Sheng felt that this was... truly difficult to judge!
Clearly, the two took this as dirt on Qin Ming, and provoked him to glare at them early in the morning.

Qin Ming warned them that this matter should be put behind them and they should not discuss it further.

The only person physically injured in this incident was Bai Meng, who was severely beaten.

"You're usually such a blabbermouth, always gossiping and spreading rumors, but when it really matters, you're completely silent and tight-lipped. It's infuriating!"

Bai Meng felt that he was even more wronged than Dou E.

……

The so-called grand gathering has begun. A group of old monsters have not appeared in their true forms. This great era is not friendly to them. They are all manifestations of a wisp of spiritual will. They are talking about the future and trying to come up with a set of rules.

It has now been determined that the Dao Ranking, the Golden Ranking, and the New Ranking will be dormant for a long time. For a considerable period of time, these Earth Immortals will be needed to guide the future direction.

As for the younger generation, most of them spent their time networking and enjoying drinks at the event.

Of course, many people of high status from various organizations and elders from various families also came to personally oversee the process.

Everyone knows that choosing a son-in-law and taking on apprentices are things that are not publicly discussed but are actually happening.

Inside the magnificent palace, crystal chandeliers swayed and glowed with the rosy light. Many people stood in small groups, while outside the palace, on the lush green grass, many more people stood and chatted animatedly.

Not far away, the Fairy Lake rippled, white mist and spiritual light rose, dragons swam in the lake, and five-colored divine lotuses emitted a sweet fragrance.

Many people are talking about the achievements of Yi Jian, Qian Cheng, Li Wanfa, and others, and they highly praise them.

"What about me?" Tang Yushang felt incredulous. Everyone was praising Yun Jianyue, Jingjiepai, Yin Tian and others. Had her achievements been swallowed up?

Da Tang finally confirmed that her killing of Lightning Beast, one of the Seven Heroes of the Celestial Clan, had been covered up. This angered her so much that she wanted to complain to Jin Bang, but she couldn't find him.

"Your identity is sensitive, so it's best to keep a low profile." In the end, it was the silver-haired old earth immortal who secretly advised her.

The fairy sister's voice also rang in Tang Yushang's heart: "Think about it, Xiaobai's ancestors were once gods, but they were cursed. And we, as descendants of the Lord of Jade Capital, also chose to stay on the ground. There must be a hidden reason and a cause."

Qin Ming learned at the meeting that during the great war against foreign powers, when his own camp was vulnerable, other mysterious forces came to the rear to probe, hoping to take advantage of the situation. However, they were intimidated by the phantom of Yujing and retreated.

A group of young and beautiful women gathered together, and someone asked privately, "Has Yijian arrived yet?"

"He's definitely here, but he might not want to reveal his true identity. The women of the Huang family might be able to get close to him."

The scene was naturally filled with extraordinary talents and various beauties. Qin Ming saw many familiar faces here, such as Li Wanfa, Yan Zhuohua, and Zhou Tiandao.

Bai Meng was very excited; it had seen several legendary spirits.

Pei Shuyan reflected: Who am I? Where am I? I've come to the wrong place!
Bai Meng nudged his shoulder and said, "Old Pei, how can you get distracted in a place like this?"

Qin Ming said, "Old Pei has a high spiritual realm. What you see is too superficial to him. He is a person with depth, ideals and ambitions. His eyes will not linger on rouge and powder. He has devoted himself to the Dao, and protecting all living beings is his pursuit."

Pei Shuyan retorted, "A woman five hundred years older than herself can dominate the Night Mist Sea."

Qin Ming didn't want to argue with him, so he picked up his wine glass and went to consult some experts on how to break the cycle of the Black Lotus of Reincarnation.

Because he missed Xiao Wu and Xiang Yiwu, who were trapped in the mysterious ancient temple, entangled with the black lotus, unable to escape, and he was powerless to use his strength.

"It's difficult for outsiders to get involved. It's a crisis, but also a blessing in disguise. It's a secret path that only those at the Great Thunderclap Temple whose lifespan is coming to an end can take... to break through the cycle of reincarnation."

Qin Ming listened carefully and asked several senior figures, but his brow remained furrowed.

Throughout history, the Huang family has had very few legitimate daughters. The criteria for judging them are very strict. They are not judged by bloodline, but by their innate qualities, talents, and so on.

It would be normal for the head of the family's own daughter to be rejected.

Why would the Huang family dare to recruit a saint-level genius as their son-in-law?

The so-called legitimate daughter, while not necessarily possessing unparalleled beauty or a smile that could topple cities, must at least be pure and virtuous, with a beautiful appearance, and must become a grandmaster in her early forties.

Only three people were selected from this generation, and all of them are outstanding.

It can only be said that the Huang family has a very deep foundation, with wonderful methods and secret medicines to support them, which is why they were able to raise more than one legitimate daughter.

Saint-level geniuses can break through to the fifth realm in their early thirties, and some may even be younger.

The eldest daughter of the Huang family is far inferior, so naturally she will not be very competitive.

At this moment, several women from the Huang family stood together, whispering amongst themselves.

"That Li Wanfa, could he have also climbed up the ranks by waiting indefinitely? If so, let's keep him as a secondary option."

"He practices Chaotic Energy, so we need to be extra careful."

Recently, rumors have circulated that older generations are seriously analyzing Chaos Force, believing that this method of killing is extremely complex, and may organize people to practice it in order to conduct in-depth research.

The main reason is that the power displayed by the sage in the battle of the enclave terrified and greatly alarmed the old monsters on various mountain peaks.

In addition, his disciple Li Wanfa also performed amazingly, once killing one of the seven heroes of the Celestial Clan.

Qin Ming, who also practices this method, possesses a certain degree of dominance within the same realm.

One sage is one thing, but everyone else in this system is incredibly capable. It just goes to show that this method has great potential and deserves our attention.

One of the eldest daughters of the Huang family said, "Xiaoyue, get close to Qin Ming and spend more time with him. It would be best if you could learn something from him and figure out the secrets of the system."

A woman dressed in a pale yellow dress whispered, "I am not the legitimate daughter, how can I get close to him? How can I ask him for those wonderful methods?"

"No matter what, you are a woman of the Huang family. How can you lack confidence? If Yujing were not isolated from the outside world, our clan's status would be far higher than it is now."

The other legitimate daughter nodded calmly and said, "Do you really want the three of us to approach a Chaos Force disciple in the third realm?"

……

In fact, all major forces are currently paying close attention to the Chaos Force.

The silk calligraphy and the Chaos Scripture of the sage lineage have been targeted by people. Of course, everyone knows that even if you obtain the scripture, it is difficult to master it. You need a suitable person to guide you and bestow the seed.

Therefore, many people's attention was focused on Qin Ming from the very beginning. He seemed to be a walking "dandelion of true wisdom," capable of releasing his seeds.

In reality, many people have a higher regard for his lineage than for the lineage of sages, after all, he walked this path on his own and seems to have more dominance in the same realm.
