Chapter 285 - Lu Li Loses to Meng Qing!
“Hmph! Die!” shouted Lu Li furiously, throwing out his fist. He didn’t care whether Meng Qing was a woman or not as he landed half a meter away from her.
At that moment, Meng Qing’s eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with ice. She threw both her palms, ice energy rolled in waves around her fists. Her hands collided with Lu Li’s fist. The whole courtyard shook violently. Everybody sensed the ground shake.
“Hmph! You’re so weak, you’re definitely going to die!” Lu Li was pushed back a step and looked even grimmer. He clenched his fists and jumped again.
Meng Qing looked like a cold and noble celestial being. Even though she had the strength of the fourth Holy Spirit Emperor layer and Lu Li the fifth, she was convinced she could defeat him.
Maybe some people had forgotten how strong she was because she hadn’t fought in a little while, including Lin Feng, who was used to protecting her, but Meng Qing had never given up cultivation.
She was the only heir of the Snow Region. Meng Qing’s goal was to surpass Miss Snow and become a snow celestial being of the new generation. Therefore, Meng Qing knew that she couldn’t lose this one.
Meng Qing’s silhouette flickered, an ice trail appeared behind her. She appeared above Lu Li’s head, a snow lotus in her left hand, which she threw at him.
Lu Li’s expression changed quickly. He hastily retreated and threw a punch to stop Meng Qing’s snow lotus.
“Ridiculous, I will show you that Lin Feng isn’t the only one who can defeat you. His wife can defeat you, too,” said Meng Qing, smiling with icy beauty. She raised her arms again, and two more snowy-white lotus flowers shot towards Lu Li.
Three explosions shook the air, the courtyard trembled even more violently. Meng Ke looked at her in amazement. Lu Li was hurled away, blood splashing miserably.
Meng Qing was chillingly grim as she landed on the ground. Her dress fluttered in the ice-cold energies. Her face was still covered with rime as she looked at Lu Li mockingly and said, “Your attacks can’t even reach me, you think you can compete with him? How come you feel so confident?”
“You...” Lu Li’s expression looked ferocious. His heart and viscera were burning, he coughed up warm blood again. His three energies had weakened greatly.
He had not thought that Lin Feng’s wife, who was relatively unknown, could be so strong. Even though she only had the strength of the fourth Holy Spirit Emperor layer, he understood that she wasn’t weaker than Lin Feng.
“I will come back to you and your husband, I will regain my reputation. Hmph! Wait and you’ll see!” shouted Lu Li furiously, standing up unsteadily. He wanted to leave the courtyard.
“Hehe! You’re in a rush? Don’t you want to fight against me, Lu Li?” jeered someone at that moment. Lu Li suddenly looked glum. He raised his hand and saw Lin Feng and Meng Jin standing on top of the wall surrounding the courtyard.
“Don’t overestimate yourself. I will be able to tell you the same thing soon. Wait and you’ll see!” said Lu Li. He felt humiliated, how could he stay there? He continued running away.
“Haha! Awesome! Will Lu Li ever dare act arrogantly again after this?” said Meng Ke, bursting into laughter. He hated Lu Li, but because of Chen Zhan, he didn’t dare act like that.
Lin Feng and Meng Qing had completely humiliated Lu Li, one of the ten best disciples of Sword Mountain... so he left!
“Meng Qing, come with me,” said Lin Feng, ignoring Meng Ke. He just looked at Meng Qing and walked to a room.
Meng Qing bit her lips and glanced at Tian Chi. Tian Chi nodded and smiled indifferently, “Don’t worry, don’t let your emotions overtake you.”
“Thank you, brother.” said Meng Qing with a smile. She was relieved to hear that. She slowly followed Lin Feng into the room.
It was the first time they had a heart-to-heart talk regarding cultivation.
Meng Ke and his brother were both fascinated by this couple, but they left silently. Tian Chi was seated on a chair outside, chanting mantras. A golden aura appeared around him and illuminated Sword Mountain.
The atmosphere was a bit oppressive in the room, Meng Qing and Lin Feng remained silent. They just stared at each other.
After a long time...
“Husband, I...”
“Meng Qing, it’s alright, if you’re sure, I support you. Go ahead.”
Meng Qing was nervous. She loved Lin Feng, but she still felt embarrassed.
She broke the silence, but Lin Feng interrupted her and smiled.
Meng Qing took a deep breath and nodded seriously, “Husband, I have made up my mind. I want to make the Snow Region rise again. Our child is grown up now. You’re also focusing on cultivation. I also need to continue progressing.”
“Right, Meng Qing. Back then, you just supported me and neglected your own self because of me. Now, I need to support you, what kind of husband would I be if I didn’t support you?”
“Husband, thank you for your support!” said Meng Qing, smiling sweetly. She was as beautiful as a lotus flower. Even though she looked cold, Lin Feng was used to it.
Meng Qing had absorbed spiritual snow Qi, after which she had become even colder, but she was still Meng Qing, the woman Lin Feng loved the most in life.
“Meng Qing, you’re not any weaker than me. Now, how do you intend to become stronger?” asked Lin Feng, holding Meng Qing in his arms and smiling.
“My two teachers told me that Miss Snow had spent time in an influential group before coming back and creating the Snow Region, they wanted me to go and spend some time in that group.”
“What influential group? One of the Six Groups or one of the Five Governments?” asked Lin Feng. He was curious now.
But Meng Qing shook her head and said looking confused, “Not part of the Six Groups of the Five Governments, but it doesn’t seem to be one of the Four Temples or Three Dynasties, either.”
“Oh? What influential group could it be then?” asked Lin Feng. He was puzzled. What was that supposed to mean?
“I’m not sure either. I can only fumble my way along.” Meng Qing looked a bit sad and disappointed. She had thought she’d easily find the influential group her teachers had told her about after arriving in the Central Continent, but it was not the case.
“What’s its name?”
“Spiritual Snow Island.”
