novelWaited for Me

Qin Haodong said, "Uh... I can't do that for the time being."
"Why? You don't like me anymore, do you? Or, have I done something wrong to make you unhappy?" Niu Cuihua eagerly said.
"No, no, I've always liked you. You also did a good job." Qin Haodong licked his dry lips and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Have you ever heard the old saying that a marriage without family blessings is an unhappy marriage?
"We're in a deadlock with your family now. Especially your brother, he wants to kill me at any time. Hence, it's not appropriate for us to sleep together now."
Niu Cuihua said, "But I don't care. I can break up with them for you."
In her mind, the impression of her brother and family was limited to Qin Haodong's description, without any emotional basis, so she didn't care about them at all.
"No, they are your relatives anyway." Qin Haodong had a serious look on his face and said, "Since I chose you, I must give you the best. I can't let you suffer a little grievance because of me."
Niu Cuihua said, "But what if they don't like you?"
"I'll find a way. I've thought it through. As long as my cultivation reaches the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, they will look at me in a different light even if I'm poor. At that time, I will come and propose marriage and they will then agree to let me marry you."
"But, how long will it take?"
Niu Cuihua said agitatedly, "It will take decades for an ordinary cultivator to reach the Grand Completion Realm from the Combination Realm.
"There are even some people who are unable to reach the stage of the Grand Completion Realm in their whole lives due to limited cultivation resources and talents."
"Don't worry. I have reached the early stage of the Combination Realm at the age of twenty. Moreover, I have obtained an Immortal Crystal. I will soon reach the middle stage of the Combination Realm. There are only two levels left before I reach the stage of the Grand Completion Realm."
Qin Haodong stared at Niu Cuihua and said, "If the relationship between a couple is for a lifetime, there's no need to stay together all the time. Don't you want to wait for me?"
In order to appease the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect in front of him, he racked his brains and even borrowed phrases from Stephen Chow.
"No, no, I can wait for you as long as you want." Niu Cuihua's eyes lit up and said, "Husband, what you said is really pleasant to hear. If the relationship between a couple is for a lifetime, there's no need to stay together all the time.
"But you have so many girls around you. Moreover, each of them is so beautiful and excellent. I'm afraid that you will suddenly ignore me."
Qin Haodong said, "How is that possible? No one can ever replace your position in my heart. Even if I die, I will remember your love in my heart."
As a woman from the Lingwu Continent, she had never heard such sweet words before.
Niu Cuihua's heart completely overflowed with happiness. She affectionately said, "Husband, really? You aren't lying to me, are you?"
"How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can dig out my heart and check, " Qin Haodong said with a guilty conscience.
He didn't know if Stephen Chow would come and get the patent fee when he saw his performance now.
"Husband, you are so nice to me. I will never separate from you." Niu Cuihua's cheeks were flushed a bright scarlet. She shyly said, "Husband, I'll wait as long as you want. Can you kiss me now?"
At this point, Qin Haodong could only try his best. He held Niu Cuihua's slender waist with both hands and kissed her passionately. frℯ𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋𝓷oѵℯl - 🅽🅽novel
After a long while, they slowly stopped.
Niu Cuihua said happily, "Husband, I'll go back and rest first. You go to bed early, too."
After that, she reluctantly left. Looking at her graceful back and thinking of the feelings ignited by the kiss just now, Qin Haodong felt that he was not playing with fire, but playing with a super nuclear bomb.
Once the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect regained her memory, would she directly burn him to ashes like how she treated Li Tianba?
However, it was not the time to think about that now. He could only be very cautious in his actions.
After Niu Cuihua left, he summoned the Three-legged Golden Toad out of his Spirit Beast Pouch and examined its injury.
The Three-legged Golden Toad possessed the dragon bloodline. Its defensive power and self-healing abilities were extremely good.
Although it was injured by Li Tianba, it had completely recovered at this time. It seemed that as long as it did not lose a lot of blood, a little injury was not a problem.
He put the Three-legged Golden Toad back in the Spirit Beast Pouch and took out the Immortal Crystal. Li Tianba had already been killed. The most important thing now was to improve his cultivation.
He set up a few formations in the room in succession and sat cross-legged with the Immortal Crystal in his hand. Then, he began to slowly absorb the Spiritual Qi inside.
Compared with top-level Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Qi contained in the Immortal Crystal was too immense and too pure. One Immortal Crystal was comparable to millions of top-level Spirit Stones. Moreover, the speed of the absorption was even faster.
Qin Haodong felt the overwhelming Spiritual Qi merge into his body. The Genuine Qi in his body became stronger with every second. His cultivation rapidly rose.
Finally, there was a slight click in his mind. He broke through the bottleneck of the early stage of the Combination Realm and reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm.
At the same time, the Immortal Crystal in his hand vanished, without even a trace of residue left.
He opened his eyes and felt the strength in his body. Next, he sighed to himself, "It's really a good thing. A low-level Immortal Crystal can actually improve my cultivation by a large level.
"It seems that in addition to the Spiritual Springs of the Four Kingdoms, Immortal Crystals can also improve my cultivation quickly if I can find more Immortal Crystals."
However, Immortal Crystals had always been a treasure that could only be found by chance. Li Mengyao 's Immortal Crystal was obtained from an ancient site. Thus, it was hard to tell how long it would take for him to find one again.
After breakfast the next day, Luo Dongqing, who reeked of alcohol, came to the General Mansion. After explaining the situation, the housekeeper took him to Qin Haodong and the others.
Seeing Luo Dongqing enter, the Little Witch went forward and grabbed his beard."We were almost beaten to death by the Associate Director of the Dragon Kingdom yesterday. As the teacher in charge of us, where have you been?"
"Wicked girl, quickly let go of me. Calm down! It hurts so much."
"No! I won't let you go! Who let you sneak out to drink? I'll tell my grandma when I get back."
Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter, the others couldn't help laughing.
Although Luo Dongqing was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he was no match for his granddaughter and could only look at Qin Haodong for help.
Qin Haodong said, "Well, it's all in the past. Let Director Luo go first."
"Hmph. I'll let you go this time because my Little Brother pleaded for you. Next time, I'll directly pull out your beard."
The Little Witch angrily let go of Luo Dongqing.
Luo Dongqing tidied up his beard and awkwardly said, "Little Qin, I didn't expect you to come to Rosefinch Kingdom. And, what happened yesterday?"
Qin Haodong gave a brief account of his experience and then said what had happened after they encountered the people of the Dragon Academy yesterday from beginning to end.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Little Witch said, "Geezer, look at the Dragon Academy's director, who has been following and protecting his students. Where have you been?"
Thinking that Qin Haodong had almost been killed by Li Tianba yesterday, she was full of anger.
"Well..." Luo Dongqing awkwardly said, "Yesterday, I went around the mountains and happened to meet the Red-eyed Spirit Monkey who brews the monkey wine.
"When those monkeys were not around, I secretly drank a little. I didn't expect that the wine would have such a strong aftereffect that made me drunk."
The Little Witch angrily said, "You unreliable geezer. When I go back, I will tell my grandma to make you quit drinking!"
Luo Dongqing quickly said, "My dear granddaughter, please don't do that. Just this once, I promise. It won't happen again in the future.
"At most, I will find Li Tianba of the Dragon Academy to avenge you later."
The Little Witch snorted and didn't say anything else.
Luo Dongqing said, "In fact, it's not my fault. It's Little Qin's fault. After he disappeared, I drank up all the wine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to compete with a group of monkeys for wine."
After that, he said to Qin Haodong, "Hurry up and get some more wine for me. My mouth has been dry and tasteless these days."
Thinking of how the geezer had risked his life to protect him in the Tortoise Spiritual Spring, Qin Haodong was very moved. He took out ten boxes of Wuliangye Liquor from his Storage Ring and handed them over.
"Great! I finally have wine."
Luo Dongqing immediately put away the wine, as if afraid of being robbed.
The Little Witch said, "Geezer, what are you doing here? Are you here just to ask for wine from my Little Brother?"
"What are you saying? I certainly have something important to do."
Luo Dongqing said, "Tomorrow is the day of the exchange conference between the Four Kingdoms. Just now, the chief steward of the Rosefinch Kingdom let me participate in a meeting where we discussed the rules of the competition tomorrow."
Qin Haodong said, "Haven't the rules of the competition been set in advance?"
Luo Dongqing said, "That's not necessarily the case. Usually, the rules continue to be used every year. However, they will be changed sometimes."
Qin Haodong said, "Are we all going?"
"The teacher in charge and the leader must be present. It's optional for the rest." Luo Dongqing said."Now, you've returned. I'll leave the leadership to you. Don't even think of slacking off."
Qin Haodong nodded. With his ability, he deserved to be the leader of the current team from the Tortoise Academy.
"Come on. Let's go together now."
After that, Luo Dongqing led the way. The others had nothing to do and left the General Mansion with Qin Haodong.
The meeting location was the Martial Arts Practice Field of Rosefinch Kingdom, which was also the place for the competition tomorrow.
When he arrived there, he saw Li Mengyao with the people from the Dragon Academy walking toward him.
Li Mengyao and the others had waited until dawn, but Li Tianba did not come back.
Rosefinch Kingdom notified everyone to attend the meeting. Thus, as the leader, she could only lead her people in.
Lu Mingju asked, "Your Highness, do you think something happened to the Associate Director?"
Li Mengyao frowned and said, "I'm also worried about this. But Associate Director Li is a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Even if he met a strong enemy, he could run away. He won't disappear so quietly."
Pang Ban said, "But Director Li hasn't come back yet. Where could he have gone?"
Li Mengyao said with a serious expression, "I don't know. Normally, Director Li is a person who cares about the overall situation. He won't miss today's meeting so casually."
At this time, Lu Mingju pointed to the front and said, "Your Highness, look, the people from the Tortoise Academy."
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. Zhao Long said, "That Qin Haodong is fine. Did Director Li fail?"
Lu Mingju said, "Even if the assassination failed, Director Li should have returned to us. He wouldn't have disappeared so quietly."
Li Mengyao said, "Let's go over and ask. Maybe we can get some clues from the Tortoise Academy."
After that, she took everyone straight to Qin Haodong and asked with a sullen face, "Qin Haodong, do you know where our Director Li is?"
