Night Without End-Chapter 1087 - 499: Affection

In the night, by the Shuyu River, the long slender branches of the silver willows sway gently in the soft light, as the breeze brushes through, creating ripples like shimmering waves.

Li Qingyue, with an unembellished face and dressed in white, had features so exquisite they were beyond reproach. She was clear and elegant, and her smile was like clouds parting the fog, as if surrounded by a radiant glow.

Usually, she was calm and dignified, but now, with Qin Ming holding her snow-white slender hand, and aware of Jiang Ran's approach, her delicate and fair face took on a slight red hue under the shimmering silver willow and the reflections of the Shuyu River.

Qin Ming remained exceedingly calm, perhaps due to long years of hardening in the snow and night fog of the Black and White Mountain, his face was quite thick-skinned, and he didn't let go, holding onto Li Qingyue as he smiled and greeted Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran, dressed in a blue robe, with the sound of bubbling Fire Spring behind her, appeared particularly transcendent, as if bathing in divine radiance, her graceful figure outlined in a golden edge. She exuded freshness and elegance, like a banished immortal from the heavens.

She glanced at the pair of large and small hands clasped together and teased, "If there were an artist with a skilled brush, this would make a perfect picture of a slightly embarrassed maiden by the river at night."

"What about me?" Qin Ming asked with a candid smile.

Jiang Ran said, "You, well, should blend into the night with the gentle breeze and silver willows, making up the backdrop, leaving just a vague outline at most."

While speaking, she even reached to grasp the other hand of Li Qingyue, as if wanting to take it over.

Qin Ming chuckled and said, "Young Master Jiang, you are really quite cheeky!"

Li Qingyue's flush faded, restoring her bright and genteel demeanor, as she smiled and said, "Ran Fei, stop messing around."

As the representatives of the Pure Land and Immortal Soil, they maintained a dignified composure in any situation, with light teasing barely causing a ripple in their Heart Lake.

Li Qingyue brushed with her hand, turning passive into active by holding Jiang Ran's slender hand, truly treating her as "Ran Fei."

Simultaneously, Li Qingyue moved slightly, yet did not pull away from Qin Ming's strong and warm hand.

By the Shuyu River, the most renowned historical sites of the Da Yu Imperial City were scattered around, with people coming and going, bustling like a shuttle, and many turned their heads to look at them, slightly dazed.

Qin Ming and the two women were so outstanding, it was as if they had walked out of an ink-and-wash landscape painting. The evening breeze blew gently, their clothes fluttered lightly, as if they were about to ride the wind away.

"Who is this brother, accompanied by two banished immortals?"

Many stopped to watch, feeling that although the two women stood amidst the mortal world, they remained aloof and otherworldly, like descending from the nine heavens, untouched by worldly smoke and fire.

"That brother is truly a divine person, to have such heavenly immortal female companions, and two at that, admirable and enviable!"

Some people whispered, their eyes bright with light.

Qin Ming stood tall like a pine, calm and composed; Jiang Ran's blue robe fluttered like a gentle breeze, fresh and lively; Li Qingyue's white dress was like snow competing with the silver willow, swaying with grace.

"Watching them, even this old man feels young again, as if returning to fifty years ago, experiencing anew that beautiful and vibrant youthful era."

Their silhouettes moved away, together blending into the night.

"That is Qin Ming, who with Spirit Field Realm cultivation, forcefully defeated the Fourth Realm's Cui Chonghe, completing his battle of rightful recognition. Who is weak, who is strong, who is the True Dragon, is evident at a glance, so the talk of being an abandoned pawn is finished!"

Some recognized their identities, causing a stir.

In recent days, the duel between Qin Ming and Cui Chonghe had spread throughout Da Yu, known in all cities of Ye State, with significant influence.

"No wonder, only such individuals could be worthy of those two fairies, surprisingly, he is the face of the Newborn Road."

"Pity his past, becoming someone else's substitute, nearly dying young, tracing back, he should be a descendant of Qin Master, one of the creators of the Chaos Scripture, his status not inferior to those of heavenly lineage, now proving himself not bound by common ties."

Passersby all watched, Qin Ming released his hand to avoid attracting too much attention.

Li Qingyue was calm and elegant, walking arm in arm with Jiang Ran.

Qin Ming realized he had indeed become just a part of the background, and said, "Young Master Jiang, you are going too far."

The two women laughed lightly, composed and at ease.

The three of them boarded a small boat, together gliding along the slightly glowing Shuyu River.

They distanced themselves from the water areas filled with soft music and numerous painted boats, arriving at a relatively remote place, with continuous chirping of insects on both banks, the fresh breath of grass and trees hitting the face, and carp occasionally leaping up, splashing out patches of crystal-clear water flowers.

Li Qingyue utilized the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, Jiang Ran activated the Mystic Lady Celestial Spear, forming a colorful light shield that enveloped the three of them, ensuring complete isolation from outside.

They talked about the journey to the Outer Domain and discussed the situation after the disappearance of Yujing.

Qin Ming spoke, "I will definitely go to pioneer, but it is difficult to travel with you all."

Mainly because he had concerns, the experiences in the heavens clearly told him that to join any Supreme Land, one must be adorned with a Magic Chain.

Rising from being a Loose Cultivator, he did not want to live without freedom from then on.

"Even if I don't join those supreme dojos, once near them, I might still be targeted. Senior Six Desires, am I right?" Qin Ming asked the Artifact Spirit within the Mystic Lady Celestial Spear.

Then, he asked the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, "I have already mastered the Six Ding Divine Fire, if I go to the place where Doushuai Temple is located, I guess the supreme dojo there won't ignore it, right?"

The two artifact spirits remained silent, wanting to say something but not knowing how to respond, as he spoke the truth.

Previously, Six Desires was extremely enthusiastic, even more aggressive than the artifact spirit of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, repeatedly inviting Qin Ming to join, but seeing his firm attitude, gradually gave up the idea.

The Blood Chain, that was never something Qin Ming wished for.

In fact, the Six Imperial was still somewhat reluctant, and although there was no recent movement, feigning giving up, if Qin Ming traveled with the two women and approached its supreme dojo, it might attempt kidnapping.
