Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 1448 - : I am not Used to Being a Freeloader

Chapter 1448: I am not Used to Being a Freeloader

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Being the only daughter of a sovereign—after the Little Eagle King, Qi Qingchen was the next most important person present; she was the only successor to her father!

She had also reached the King-Ranked Realm, and she was widely read and a rare talent. Besides the young masters and young mistresses in the entire Earth Emanations Domain, even Mo Lingqiu had to be courteous when speaking to her. Her rank represented her status; if Qi Qingchen were to sit in the last row, who dared to sit in front of her?

Thus…

Many people started to look at Jiang Yi, thinking that Qi Qingchen’s strange action was due to him. Some people had also noticed that Qi Qingchen’s eyes had lit up slightly when she saw Jiang Yi.

But!

Jiang Yi did not take any action. He seemed to not even notice Qi Qingchen walking over and that young master giving up his seat in terror. Jiang Yi kept on eating savagely; he was behaving rather uncouthly and was just like a hungry ghost.

Qi Qingchen also did not do anything out of the ordinary. She only sat down quietly and asked a maidservant to change a new set of cutlery and tea for her. She then looked at everyone, smiled, and said, “What are all of you staring at? Continue with your conversations. I have just come to soak in the festivities.”

Yi Buhui once again looked at Jiang Yi with suspicion and caution in his eyes as he sent a voice transmission to Mo Huaisang next to him: “Lady Mo, is there anything special about this person?”

“I don’t think so!”

Mo Huaisang was also very curious. Jiang Yi was just a country b.u.mpkin that had ascended from the Lower Domain. The only thing special about him was that her grandfather liked him a lot. However, in Mo Huaisang’s eyes, Jiang Yi did not mean much. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had not given her any special instructions regarding Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi was of significance, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would definitely have informed her and the rest not to anger Jiang Yi.

She thought for a while as she sent back a voice transmission, slightly confused: “He is just here to accompany Di Ling’er; he is the Great Minister of Public Works of the Demon-Killing Pavilion.”

Yi Buhui could not make any sense out of this. Finally, he decided that Qi Qingchen did not wish to make too big a fuss out of her presence… or perhaps she was using another way to raise her own profile!

Yi Buhui smiled faintly as he gestured for everyone to be seated again as they continued with their idle chatter and banter. The atmosphere in the hall became boisterous again. However, many young masters still looked slightly preoccupied, constantly stealing glances at Qi Qingchen. Many young mistresses also became much more restrained and reserved with the arrival of Qi Qingchen.

The Little Eagle King’s gaze also occasionally looked towards Qi Qingchen, his eyes filled with his desire to conquer and possess her. He did not even try to mask his intentions at all. He was plainly trying to convey his desires: for Qi Qingchen to be conquered by him, for her to become his woman.

On the other hand, Qi Qingchen sat rather leisurely on her own, slowly drinking her tea, and completely ignoring the looks being thrown at her. She was like an old monk sitting quietly deep in the mountains, entirely relaxed and at ease.

Jiang Yi was also expressionless as he continued to eat his fill. However, he was feeling utterly helpless internally. Qi Qingchen had arrived so coincidentally; if his ident.i.ty was exposed, Mo Lingqiu would probably send him back to the Earth Emanations Domain immediately. He would not even have the chance to head to the Saint Spirit Mountain.

“Jiang Yi, I did not expect us to meet again so soon!”

A soft voice transmission rang out. Jiang Yi did not look to his side as he immediately sent a quiet voice transmission: “Young Mistress Qingchen, please do not send voice transmissions to me. Many people are watching me; I do not want to be gutted by all these young masters…”

Qi Qingchen’s voice transmission rang out once again as she said confidently: “Haha, what are you afraid of? With me here, who would dare to touch you?”

d.a.m.n…

Jiang Yi cursed silently; he did not know how to explain. He just sent a voice transmission over: “I have never relied on a woman to help me before; I am also not a freeloader. Young Mistress Qingchen, please do not bring trouble to me, okay?”

While Qi Qingchen did not reveal any emotions on the surface, she was internally lost for words. So many men were like mosquitoes trying to get close to her, and she couldn’t even chase them away; she had seen many of these over the years. However, she had never encountered someone like Jiang Yi before. She had talked to him proactively, and he actually wasn’t happy about that?

She actually did not have any special designs for Jiang Yi; she only purely felt grateful to him!

It was because of Jiang Yi that she managed to realize the spring water’s movement in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. That had indeed been a type of quintessence. As she had long reached the peak-stage of the Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d Realm, she was just lacking this final step to becoming a King-Ranked martial artist.

After she came out from the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, she paid an exorbitant price to enter the Primordial Mystic Realm. She spent three full days inside the mystic realm and finally made the final step and reached the King-Ranked Realm!

Before she had left the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, she had promised Jiang Yi that she owed him a favor. She did not expect to coincidentally meet Jiang Yi here in the Saint Spirit Domain. Hence, she naturally had come over to greet Jiang Yi and to express her thanks.

Since Jiang Yi deigned to engage with her, Qi Qingchen wasn’t going to embarra.s.s herself further. She paused as she sent a voice transmission: “I am staying in the Snow Moon Castle. If you need any help, feel free to come and look for me. I have said that I owe you a favor.”

After sending this voice transmission, Qi Qingchen stood up and cupped her hands at everyone, smiling and saying, “Everyone, I am a little tired. I will retire first. I will see all of you tomorrow at the battle arena!”

As Qi Qingchen rose, Yi Buhui and many others hurriedly stood up to try and convince her to stay longer. However, Qi Qingchen smiled slightly and shook her head in rejection. They could only regrettably let Qi Qingchen leave.

Suddenly, the Little Eagle King—who had not spoken a word since Qi Qingchen entered—opened his mouth. “Young Mistress Qingchen, please hold on!”

Qi Qingchen turned and smiled as she looked at the Little Eagle King, asking, “Little Eagle King, what do you have to say?”

The Little Eagle King stood up impressively. His gaze became exceptionally sharp this time as he stared at Qi Qingchen, saying, “I am lacking a woman. You should become my queen. What do you say?”

“Pfft!”

Many people choked and spat out whatever they were drinking. Jiang Yi also spat out the wonderful wine that he was just savoring. The Little Eagle King was a little too direct, right? Didn’t he know how to be a little tactical? After all, the entire Earth Domain’s top-cla.s.s young masters and young mistresses were present here today.

Yi Buhui and many others exchanged stares, at a loss at what was to be done, while Di Ling’er, Mo Huaisang, and other young mistresses’ faces all changed. They became rather dejected and dispirited. Many of them were looking at Little Eagle King with slightly hurtful glances. They seemed to be telling him silently that their hearts had been broken.

The Little Eagle King did not even bother looking at anyone else as he stared directly at Qi Qingchen with a wild and brazen look in his eyes, waiting for her reply.

Qi Qingchen’s expression did not change much, actually. She maintained her calm and cool posture as her eyes s.h.i.+fted as she continued to walk to the main door. When she was about to step out of the hall, she finally said, “Come and talk to me once you have reached the King-Ranked Realm. Right now… you still do not have the right to ask me that!”

Qi Qingchen’s words silenced the entire place. She was not giving the Little Eagle King any face whatsoever! Many were afraid that in his fury, the Little Eagle King would launch an attack here and now; everyone was starting to feel uncomfortable.

The Little Eagle King, however, did not explode in rage. Instead, his eyes revealed his desire to battle and fight as he laughed and said, “Not bad, not bad! Qi Qingchen, wait and see. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel in front of me to beg me to shower favor on you!”

Madness, uncouthness… barbaric!

This was what everyone present was thinking. However, after a while, everyone felt that the Little Eagle King’s words were pretty reasonable. Some young mistresses’ eyes once again floated a sliver of affection and love; they were touched by the Little Eagle King’s wildness and arrogance.

Jiang Yi saw that Mo Huaisang and others’ eyes burned with a fiery pa.s.sion as he rolled his eyes, speechless. These great family clans’ young mistresses were all the same: they didn’t like those that liked them but were obsessed with those that ignored them.

However, this seemed to be human nature after all: to not cherish what comes easy and to crave what one cannot get.

Since the banquet had reached this point, there was no need to continue it anymore!

The Little Eagle King then cupped his hands towards everyone as he made his way out as well. At the door, he suddenly looked towards Jiang Yi and sent a voice transmission murderously: “I do not care who you are. Stay away from Qingchen; she is my woman. If not… suffer the consequences!”

d.a.m.n!

Feeling numerous eyes looking at him, Jiang Yi was certain that the Little Eagle King had noticed his voice transmissions with Qi Qingchen. Jiang Yi felt aggrieved as he started to curse silently. This matter had nothing to do with him at all; he had no designs on Qi Qingchen at all. With his current strength, there was no way he could manage such a woman. Furthermore, he was also not used to being a freeloader!
