Chapter 1040, So She Actually Knows How to Smile

Translator: Silavin

 

Cold!?

 

Which fool did not know Lunar Palace was cold?

 

If this place was not cold, Lunar Palace would not be situated here.

 

This sudden voice was undoubtedly extremely presumptuous.

 

Even Tian Haoyu couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

 

No one understood who, at this moment, would dare act so brazenly here!

 

The speaker was naturally Qin Yichen.

 

With a single glance, he saw Lu Linghan.

 

At this moment she wore a white dress, willow eyebrows and Phoenix eyes, jade skin like snow. Between her brows her bearing was dignified and composed, without any hint of delicacy. Combined with her cold temperament and aloof expression, she truly resembled an Ice Goddess.

 

Her face seemed like a ten-thousand-year glacier. Nothing could melt it. Everything happening around her seemed irrelevant to her as well.

 

Yet precisely because of this aloofness, she attracted more and more pursuers. Even figures like Tian Haoyu were devoted to her, using every method imaginable just to make her smile.

 

During this period, he had expended countless efforts, yet Lu Linghan remained completely indifferent to him, utterly unconcerned with his actions.

 

At this moment, upon hearing this somewhat improper voice, this Ice Goddess, this Lunar Palace Fairy, trembled slightly.

 

She raised her head, following the sound with her gaze. Instantly, her bright eyes became misty, a layer of moisture veiling her vision.

 

[It’s you. You’ve finally come to fetch me!]

 

“What nameless nobody dares come here to offend Miss Lu?!”

 

“Exactly! How can he be so rude before the fairy?”

 

“I advise you to leave quickly. This isn’t a place you can come!”

 

Before Lu Linghan could say anything, those young prodigies in Cold Pavilion Hall all jumped out, criticizing Qin Yichen harshly to demonstrate their own status.

 

Indeed, without certain status and background, one probably couldn’t even enter Lunar Palace.

 

Naturally, none of them had seen Qin Yichen before.

 

Though news of the True Dragon Martial Soul had spread, only a few from the upper echelons of Saints Heavenly Manor had actually seen Qin Yichen.

 

“I can’t come?” The corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth curved into a wicked arc. Instead of retreating, he advanced toward Lu Linghan.

 

In this place, no one was more qualified to come than him!

 

“You!” His action immediately enraged those young prodigies. Just as they prepared to teach this ignorant fellow a lesson, an overwhelming presence spread from this unfamiliar youth’s body.

 

*Roar!*

 

The True Dragon Martial Soul manifested, soaring into the air. A supreme pressure from primordial times rippled forth. All around, those young prodigies retreated several large steps. No one could block his path any longer.

 

He was like a God walking from ancient times, his presence vast and boundless as mountains and seas, crushing everything. Even Tian Haoyu’s expression changed as a layer of radiance spread from his body, resisting this pressure.

 

“This…” Tian Haoyu’s expression transformed drastically. Under this pressure, he actually felt an impulse to submit at the other’s feet. If not for his firm temperament, he would have lost composure.

 

“True… True Dragon…” Looking at that fierce Dragon Manifestation appearing behind Qin Yichen, everyone’s eyes filled with shock.

 

True Dragon Martial Soul!

 

Of course they had heard of this matter. However, that person possessing the True Dragon Martial Soul had been taken away by Saints Heavenly Manor Master. Who could have imagined this person would appear here!

 

“Heh!” The corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth curved upward. Ignoring everyone around him, he walked toward Lu Linghan.

 

Low profile?!

 

Why should he still keep a low profile?!

 

He would now be high-profile!

 

He possessed the True Dragon Martial Soul. He possessed the Demon Subduing Great Saint’s inheritance. What did he have to fear?!

 

After the incident with Feng Qianxue, Qin Yichen had already understood one principle.

 

The kind got bullied!

 

If he still wanted to keep a low profile at this moment, then countless troubles would follow.

 

Only by acting with high profile manner and shocking these people awake would they understand that he was someone they could not afford to provoke!

 

Tian Haoyu’s eyes flickered. After Qin Yichen ascended the steps, he finally spoke. “I presume this is Brother Qin. A pleasure to meet you.”

 

With his status, he could naturally investigate some information about the possessor of the True Dragon Martial Soul.

 

“En.” However, Qin Yichen showed no warmth toward him.

 

Toward a man trying to steal his Wife, how could he have any favourable impression of him!?

 

“Brother Qin, you’re being somewhat rash. Aren’t you afraid of offending the fairy?” Tian Haoyu’s mouth held a smile, maintaining his composure. His tone made it seem as though he and Qin Yichen were quite familiar.

 

“Offend her?” The curve at the corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth deepened. He dismissed his True Dragon Martial Soul and, under everyone’s gaze, walked before Lu Linghan.

 

“It seems he still doesn’t understand Fairy Lu.”

 

“Even with the True Dragon Martial Soul, he may not be able to move Miss Lu’s heart.”

 

“Lunar Palace’s Ice Goddess isn’t some baseless reputation!”

 

“I remember the last time someone tried to presume upon Fairy Lu and ended up frozen into an ice sculpture…”

 

When they all thought Qin Yichen would suffer, Lu Linghan seemed to have no intention of taking action.

 

Qin Yichen’s next move made them gasp sharply and caused Tian Haoyu’s eyelids to twitch violently.

 

Coming before Lu Linghan, Qin Yichen naturally extended his hand and pulled her into his embrace.

 

“This is what’s called presumptuous.”

 

Speaking thus, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he captured Lu Linghan’s tender lips.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Everyone in Cold Pavilion Hall, including those passing by outside who witnessed this scene, turned to stone.

 

Tian Haoyu had wanted to say something, but discovered that at this moment, whatever he said would seem pale and powerless.

 

This was clearly not Lu Linghan being unable to resist, but rather, she simply had not resisted!

 

She was willing!

 

However, no matter how they wracked their brains, they still could not understand why Lunar Palace’s Ice Goddess has been melted so easily, and instantly at that!

 

“I hope you all remember, that this Fairy Lu is my, Qin Yichen’s… Wife!”

 

After reluctantly releasing Lu Linghan’s lips, Qin Yichen embraced her slender waist and stood before Cold Pavilion Hall, declaring to the crowd.

 

“Wife!?” Many young prodigies felt as though struck by lightning, standing there dumbstruck, completely unable to process this.

 

Though Lu Linghan had a Daughter, no one had ever thought in that direction.

 

Could there truly exist in this world someone who could melt this Ice Goddess?!

 

Yet now they had witnessed him, the man who could melt the Ice Goddess!

 

Standing beside Qin Yichen, Lu Linghan’s eternally frozen pretty face actually showed crimson embarrassment. She allowed Qin Yichen to embrace her. Her aloof eyes brimmed with affection, and upon her pretty face appeared a heart-shaking smile.

 

To think she actually knew how to smile.

 

At this moment, she seemed like a completely different person from just moments before.
