Chapter 289: Young Qing's Dream Reward (4K)



Led by Senior Sister Meng, Sch Jing circled around, soon arriving at a door with a plaque above it.

Glancing at the plaque, which read 'Tranquil Chamber,' Sch Jing's lips twitched. He stepped forward, twisted the doorknob, and entered.

Inside, Li Qi sat in a wheelchair, a purple sandalwood desk in front of him, engrossed in a scroll.

After nearly a month apart, Sch Jing noticed a significant change in Li Qi's appearance. His once-bald Mediterranean haircut now had sparse patches of hair, and his previously withered face seemed to have regained some vitality. He wore reading glasses, making him look five or six years younger than before.

"Master, why is only the Tranquil Chamber labeled?" Sch Jing asked as he approached Li Qi.

If there had been a sign indicating Senior Sister Meng's training room, he wouldn't have opened the door so casually...

This classic lucky pervert scenario seemed fortunate, but it was more troublesome than it appeared. Fortunately, Senior Sister Meng treated him like a child and didn't hold it against him.

"Oh? Little Jing, you're back," Li Qi said, looking up from his reading and immediately putting down the scroll. He wheeled himself over to Sch Jing.

"The plaques for your personal training rooms are still being made... What's the matter?" Li Qi removed his glasses, his aged and cloudy eyes shifting between Sch Jing and Meng Qingjiao.

Sch Jing maintained his composure, "It's nothing, I was just curious... By the way, Master, when are we holding the moving celebration banquet?"

Li Qi didn't notice anything unusual about Sch Jing, but he saw Meng Qingjiao's cold eyes shift slightly, avoiding his gaze.

Although it was a subtle movement, Li Qi, with his experience, immediately understood its significance.

His eyes flashed with realization, and he smiled, comprehending. "Since you're back, we'll find an auspicious day soon... Little Jing, you've brought great honor to your old master this time."

Sch Jing smiled, "It's all thanks to your guidance... Master, you seem much younger. Have you had some recent breakthrough?"

Li Qi proudly ran his hand through the sparse hair on his Mediterranean haircut, "Did you notice?"

"I've been studying the Yellow Maiden Energy Art day and night, and I think I've made some progress. It's like a withered tree coming back to life... If you have any questions about this technique, just ask me."

Sch Jing's eyes lit up, "That's great! I actually have a question. After reaching the Small Fulfillment realm, I feel like my progress has slowed down. Is there any trick you can teach me?"

Li Qi was taken aback. Small Fulfillment?

He had only just begun his training a few days ago and was still several steps away from Small Fulfillment. How could he teach at this stage? Li Qi had thought that with his own knowledge and the insights he gained from studying Taoism with the young Taoist nun, he would have a good grasp of the Yellow Maiden Energy Art and make rapid progress.

Li Qi cleared his throat, "Taoist martial arts emphasize gradual progress and natural development. You must maintain the right mindset and avoid impatience. Just keep practicing steadily."

Sch Jing smiled, "I understand, Master."

Li Qi nodded, examining Sch Jing from head to toe, and nodded in satisfaction.

His disciple was perfect in every way, almost too good to be true. He had impeccable talent and temperament, and his respect for his master was unwavering.

After winning the U19 championship, his first words were of gratitude to his master...

Li Qi felt that even if he were to lie in a coffin right now, he would rise from the dead in the middle of the night, laughing with joy.

As he thought, his gaze shifted to Meng Qingjiao, causing her to tilt her head slightly in confusion.

Such a talented disciple shouldn't be given away to another family...

Li Qi's eyes narrowed in thought.

Meng Qingjiao had practically been raised by him since childhood, and their relationship was more like that of a grandfather and granddaughter.

Furthermore, due to past events, Li Qi always felt a sense of guilt towards her, treating her with extra care and love, like a cherished gem. This treatment was unlike any other disciple, and now, Sch Jing was added to the mix.

Having his most beloved disciple and most cherished disciple together would bring him even greater joy.

At this thought, Li Qi began to fantasize about the dreamlike family harmony of the two of them honoring him in the future...

'This might work...' Li Qi's eyes gleamed with determination.

Although he wasn't sure about Sch Jing, Meng Qingjiao would surely... As long as she had the intention, no man could resist her.

Li Qi had absolute confidence in his granddaughter's charm.

"I feel a bit bad for Ning Dazha..."

Li Qi thought to himself.

However, he believed that since his disciple was so capable, having a few dozen women was not a big deal. After all, he had his fair share of romantic encounters in his youth.

Li Qi wasn't a chauvinist; instead, he believed in the strong prevailing. If someone was exceptional, it was only natural for them to possess more resources.

If Sch Jing were a woman, he would have felt the same about his disciple having a dozen male partners.

"Little Jing," Li Qi said with a kind and benevolent smile.

"Hmm?" Sch Jing was puzzled.

"Recently, I've been thinking of having your senior brothers and sisters start practicing the Yellow Maiden Energy Art to compensate for the shortcomings in our Dragon Concealment Stream's internal cultivation. But since you acquired the Yellow Maiden Energy Art, I should ask for your opinion... What do you think?" Li Qi asked.

"Of course, it's not a problem," Sch Jing nodded, not hesitating at all. It wasn't just about the Yellow Maiden Energy Art; he didn't feel the need to keep any of his martial arts secret.

Even if his enemies learned them, he wouldn't care.

If they could practice it, then let them try. If they could beat him, he would consider himself defeated.

Initially, Wu Xuanzhu had the same attitude when Sch Jing learned the Seamless Execution. Such high-level individuals had an extraordinary mindset, and they wouldn't worry about their disciples surpassing them. No matter how others practiced, they couldn't possibly become more powerful than themselves.

"Since you agree, there's a small issue now," Li Qi said leisurely.

"The Yellow Maiden Energy Art is a Taoist internal cultivation method for health, and its energy routes involve many sensitive parts and acupoints in the body... I'm not in a position to teach Qingjiao."

"Since you're quite proficient in the Yellow Maiden Energy Art... Then the task of teaching Qingjiao the Yellow Maiden Energy Art is entrusted to you."

Sch Jing was taken aback by what he heard, feeling that something was amiss.

"Master, this..." He hesitated to speak.

Before he could finish, Li Qi interrupted and asked Meng Qingjiao, "Qingjiao, what do you think?"

Under Sch Jing's silent gaze, Meng Qingjiao nodded with a calm expression.

"Good, then it's decided. When you have time, go find a room and start practicing," Li Qi clapped his hands, his wrinkled face beaming with joy.

Sch Jing found the situation a bit awkward...

...

Contrary to Li Qi's suggestion, Sch Jing didn't start practicing with Senior Sister Meng after staying at the new Dragon Concealment Dojo for a while.

He had some idea of what his master was thinking, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Just like how not all couples who go on blind dates end up happily married, these things can't be forced.

It was best to let things develop naturally. If you tried to force it, like making a bull drink water against its will, it might resist even more.

After leaving the dojo, Sch Jing hurried to the university, leaping onto tall buildings and moving swiftly like a martial arts master.

His current speed, even without going all out, was astonishing. It was no less than a high-speed train, and he moved in a straight line like one.

In less than five minutes, he reached the university's entrance.

He entered like a gust of wind, invisible to everyone, but his presence caused many female students' skirts to flutter, eliciting shy screams.

He made his way to the university library, heading straight to the seventh floor.

In the old and historic library, Sch Jing stepped inside, and a faint, familiar fragrance wafted into his nose.

The scent calmed his mind, just like the feeling the owner of the fragrance gave him.

He looked around and saw her sitting in the same spot, alone, as if she had been waiting for him all this time without ever leaving.

Her waist-length ponytail cascaded down, and her delicate and elegant features made her approachable, like a childhood friend or a next-door neighbor. Only her serene lavender eyes added a touch of mystery and tranquility to her aura.

Sch Jing glanced at the book she was holding.

"The Quicksilver That Will Eventually Devour Gold."

"Thud—"

The book was closed, and the serene girl turned to look at him, a hint of a smile in her lavender eyes.

"You're back."

In that moment, Sch Jing felt a strange sense of healing in his heart.

It was like a hardworking husband returning home to a welcoming smile from his young and beautiful wife... He felt that his efforts were worthwhile.

Shaking his head, he dispelled these odd thoughts and chuckled softly, "I have returned, unharmed."

Scheng Jing walked forward, extended his hand, and summoned the Non-Existent Beast. An invisible fissure opened on his palm, releasing two swirling gusts of wind, one pale green and the new pale red.

Wu Youqing observed this, her gaze lingering on the invisible fissure emitting the winds for a while before shifting to the swirling gusts.

She reached out and took the two gusts of wind from Scheng Jing's hand, speaking softly:

"There are nine Primordial Winds in total. One is with the Xu Clan, one with the Inverted Cross Church of the New Cross Church Nation, three with the Secret Martial Society, two with me, and the remaining two are currently unaccounted for."

"For over two hundred years, these nine Primordial Winds have never been gathered together. No one knows the full extent of their combined power."

Wu Youqing turned to Scheng Jing, her eyes softening, "It's one of my few hopes, and you've successfully brought that hope to me... Ajing, what reward do you want?"

Scheng Jing tilted his head, "Reward?"

Wu Youqing spoke gently, "You've exceeded the task requirements... Even if you want a somewhat excessive reward, I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Scheng Jing thought for a moment. He didn't have anything he particularly desired. If he had to say, it would only be the Divine Relic...

However, compared to the Divine Relic, he felt that the help he received from Wu Youqing was too much, to the point of feeling a bit indebted.

He wanted to say that he didn't need a reward, but that would also be a bit unreasonable, as if he was in a hurry to repay Wu Youqing.

After some hesitation, he wasn't sure why, but perhaps it was the world-class embrace from Senior Sister Meng that stirred his emotions, or the sense of security he felt from Wu Youqing.

Scheng Jing's mind suddenly went blank, and he hesitated, "Um... How about a kiss?"

Wu Youqing was stunned.

Scheng Jing's face immediately changed, and he regretted his words.

What was he saying? That was too bold.

He moved his lips, quickly waved his hand, and said, "Never mind, forget I said anything."

At this moment, Wu Youqing hesitated but stood up and silently walked over to Scheng Jing's side.

"Boss, you..." Scheng Jing exclaimed in surprise.

Is this real, Ah Qing? Are you serious?

Wu Youqing looked at him with a complex expression, a faint blush appearing on her elegant face, making her even more captivating.

She spoke softly, "I said that even if it's a somewhat excessive reward..."

Scheng Jing broke into a cold sweat, "Can I take it back?"

Wu Youqing glared at him, "What are you saying to a girl who has finally gathered the courage?"

Girl... That's right, Young Qing Buddha was only in her teens.

In her daily life, she was too mature and reliable, causing Scheng Jing to subconsciously overlook her age.

"Then... Do you need to prepare?"

After some thought, Scheng Jing asked.

Wu Youqing shook her head and said softly, "...Just close your eyes."

Scheng Jing felt like a novice again, even though it was just a kiss, he started to feel nervous.

He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, his emotions complex.

He wasn't easily swayed by women or beauty; even someone as enchanting as Yujia Shinelu didn't faze him, and he was almost unaffected.

However, it was undeniable that at this moment, he was indeed expecting something.

Because... this was Young Qing Dream.

She was the woman who seemed to know everything, could solve any problem, and was like a wish-granting deity.

Scheng Jing couldn't deny that he had strong feelings for her... Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly blurted out such words.

With his eyes closed, his already sharp senses of hearing, smell, and touch became even more acute. He clearly felt the girl approaching him.

The delicate fragrance grew stronger, and her slightly hurried breaths gently brushed against his face. He also sensed the heat emanating from her body.

Then, an incredibly soft and wonderful sensation spread from his lips, accompanied by a slight warmth and moisture.

In that instant, a tingling sensation spread from Scheng Jing's lips to his cheeks, scalp, neck, chest, and abdomen... throughout his entire body.

He gently opened his eyes and exchanged a glance with Wu Youqing, who had finished the kiss and returned to her seat, twirling the hair in front of her face with her fingers.

The latter turned her face away, avoiding Scheng Jing's gaze, and spoke in her usual calm tone, "Alright, I've given you the reward you wanted. No more next time..."

Scheng Jing's eyes narrowed in thought.

It was as if, after the deed, he had entered a sage-like state, and his rationality returned.

No, he felt like he had been taken advantage of.
