Chapter 80: An ulterior motive
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Besides, Sheng Xiao is famous for being proud and cold. When did he become so kind-hearted?” Lin Jiansheng snorted and said what he really thought. “I think he has an ulterior motive. He likes you.”
Hearing Lin Jiansheng’s analysis, Yu Huang could not help but think narcissistically, ‘Could it be that Sheng Xiao really likes me?’
Yu Huang touched her mask and immediately rejected this possibility.
Everyone loved beauty, let alone Sheng Xiao, a privileged person. A person like him would definitely find a beautiful and talented woman as his wife in the future.
“Master, don’t make wild guesses. How can you not know what kind of image I have now?”
Lin Jiansheng was furious when he heard Yu Huang disparaging herself. “What kind of image do you have? Are you inferior to others just because you’re disfigured? I only know that you’re a Beast Tamer with a high-level beast form and a genius who became a Level 2 Purifying Spirit Master at the age of 18! In my eyes, you’re not inferior to Sheng Xiao!”
“So what if he’s the young master of the Sheng family? You’re also the young master of the Yin family! In terms of family background and cultivation talent, how are you inferior to Sheng Xiao? Sheng Xiao is even older than you by a few years. It’s hard to say who is better!”
“What, you’re already feeling inferior?” Lin Jiansheng was exasperated at Yu Huang’s low self-esteem. He knocked Yu Huang on the head forcefully and scolded, “What’s the use of feeling inferior? You have to believe that you were born to make others feel inferior!”
After being reprimanded by Lin Jiansheng, Yu Huang finally realized that her thoughts were groundless.
Yes, she was Yu Huang, a woman who had reigned supreme in the Doomsday Era. Even if her looks were ruined, she was still a queen among women! “Mentor, did you eat candy this morning? Your words are so sweet.”
Lin Jiansheng blushed and felt that his reaction just now was a little too extreme. “I hope you can understand this principle. If a person really rejects you because of your looks, then he is not worthy of you at all.”
“Mentor, you are right. I just think that Sheng Xiao doesn’t have that kind of intention toward me.” Sheng Xiao treated her generously and without ambiguity. He did not seem like he wanted to woo her.
She was old but not mentally old. She had ulterior motives toward Sheng Xiao.
Lin Jiansheng said in an experienced tone, “Just watch. If that kid doesn’t have any ulterior motives towards you, I, Lin Jiansheng, will never be able to become a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master in my lifetime.”
This oath was ruthless.
The corners of Yu Huang’s mouth curled up slightly as she said with a smile, “Then let’s wait and see.”
The journey was long. Yu Huang focused on reading while Lin Jiansheng dozed off.
He had a dream of a past from 18 years ago.
When he woke up, Lin Jiansheng looked at Yu Huang with an especially gentle and loving gaze.
Yu Huang was a little tired from reading. When she raised her head and stretched her neck, she saw Lin Jiansheng’s loving gaze and could not help but feel baffled. “Why are you looking at me like that, Mentor?”
Lin Jiansheng leaned back in his chair and sighed. “I dreamed about what happened on the day of your baby shower.”
“Huh?”
Yu Huang said, “Father told me that my father brought me back from the Upper World. I was less than a month old when I returned.”
“Yes, you were still very young back then and very clingy to your father. You didn’t even drink milk when others fed you. You only drank milk when the Prime Master personally carried you.”
Yu Huang had long forgotten her childhood memories. She asked Lin Jiansheng, “What did you dream about?”
Lin Jiansheng rubbed his forehead and smiled. “It’s strange. I dreamed of Sheng Xiao.”
“Sheng Xiao? He went to my one-month-old celebration?”
“Yes, he was more than seven years old that year. He went to the Yin family with his father, Grand Master Sheng.”
As Lin Jiansheng recalled, he said, “You were already very cute when you were a month old. Your skin was fair and tender, and you were especially likable. That day, many children surrounded your bed to tease you and wanted to hug you. In the end, you cried the moment you were touched.”
“But it’s strange. When it was Sheng Xiao’s turn to hug you, not only did you stop crying, but you even grabbed his fingers tightly with your little hand. Everyone praised you for having good taste. You found a great son-in-law for the Prime Master the moment you were born.”
“I remember that the Prime Master and Grand Master Sheng verbally betrothed the two of you to each other…” Speaking of this old matter, Lin Jiansheng also felt that it was funny. He laughed at Yu Huang.” Do you think that this is destined between the two of you? ”
Yu Huang rolled her eyes. “We can’t skip this topic?”
Being despised by his beloved disciple, Lin Jiansheng rubbed his nose awkwardly before sitting down cross-legged to meditate.
–
There were five continents and three seas on the Holy Spirit Continent. Among them, the Hundred Beast Continent, the Xixia Sea, and the Light Sea were all relatively special existences because the people living in these three regions were not humans.
The Beast Continent was the beastmen’s territory, and the Xixia Sea was the merman’s territory. The Light Sea was the resting place of the elves.
The citizens of the Divine Moon Empire had a legal citizenship permit and were free to enter any continent or sea region except these three regions.
As a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master, Lin Jiansheng was free to enter and exit the Xixia Ocean and the Light Ocean, but Yu Huang was not.
The plane finally stopped at a harbor on the shore of the Xixia Sea coast. The moment they alighted, Yu Huang was brought to the waiting area of the Divine Realm Continent by the staff. Lin Jiansheng took Yu Huang’s identity card and prepared an introduction letter for her. However, the notary at the harbor prepared a pass for Yu Huang.
The waiting area was set up in the main hall. It was very spacious, and every state had a territory divided by a kind of transparent and hard glass.
Yu Huang sat in the waiting area of the Divine Realm Continent. Through the transparent glass, she could see the waiting area of the Hundred Beast Continent diagonally opposite and the waiting area of the Light Sea directly in front.
This was the first time Yu Huang had seen a real beastman in real life. She couldn’t help but feel curious and look towards the waiting area of the Hundred Beast Continent.
In the waiting area, there were many tall orcs sitting or standing. These orcs all looked strange. Some had human heads and snake tails, some had human heads and ponytails, and some had human heads and spider bodies.
In short, it was a dazzling sight.
Yu Huang felt that dragging these people from the Hundred Beast Continent to the Divine Moon Empire to film a horror film would scare a child to tears without any special effects.
The resting area opposite Yu Huang was the territory of the elves. Yu Huang originally thought that the elves were like the elves in Earth’s film production, The Lord of the Rings, where they were all slender, handsome, and beautiful.
However, when she saw the true appearance of the elves, she was immediately shocked.
The appearance of the elves was very strange. They all had a pair of wings, but they were not beautiful bird wings, but bat-like black wings.
The elves had strange facial features. Their noses were too high, and their lips were triangular. When they spoke, they would always reveal a mouthful of white teeth. It was a little funny.
The difference between these elves and the elves Yu Huang had imagined was too great, so Yu Huang could not help but feel disappointed. At this moment, Lin Jiansheng walked over with a pass.. When Yu Huang saw Lin Jiansheng, she immediately felt that Lin Jiansheng’s bald head had become cute.
