Chapter Two Arrives!
————————
Snowflakes fluttered through the air, falling on the quaint black stone pavement of ’Northern Pole Snow City’. Qin Yu, Shen Tufan, Marquis Kui Yin, and Duanmu Yu bid each other farewell and parted ways.
"I’m finally back," Qin Yu said with a hint of a smile on his face.
Having secured one of the three first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, Qin Yu was certain the first matchmaking spot would fall into his hands. Naturally, he felt a sense of relief.
Before approaching Mu Mansion.
"Uncle Lan and Li’er must be inside, right?" Qin Yu thought to himself as he stood in front of Mu Mansion. Just then—
"Little Yu, come inside," Jiang Lan’s voice directly echoed in Qin Yu’s mind.
"The Divine King’s divine skills are truly extraordinary," Qin Yu marveled inwardly and walked towards the grand entrance of Mu Mansion. The guards at the mansion, presumably having received orders from Jiang Lan, did not stop Qin Yu.
"Uncle Lan and Li’er are in the innermost courtyard," knew Qin Yu very well, partly because his power of space enveloped the entire Mu Mansion, and partly because... due to the Meteor Tear, he could sense Li’er’s location.
Familiarly navigating the corridors, he swiftly reached the innermost courtyard.
Li’er had been standing at the courtyard gate, looking out. When she saw Qin Yu, she joyfully ran towards him and they embraced each other tightly.
Uncle Lan emerged from the innermost garden and smiled upon seeing Qin Yu and Li’er together.
"Okay, Uncle Lan is watching," Qin Yu whispered into Li’er’s ear. Li’er’s cheeks turned slightly red before she let go of Qin Yu, yet she still held onto his hand.
Jiang Lan looked at Qin Yu and smiled, "Little Yu, how confident are you about securing the first spot?"
A broad smile spread across Qin Yu’s face, "Very, absolutely confident!"
"Absolutely?" Jiang Lan’s smile skewed playfully, "Little Yu, don’t fool me. I heard that Zhou Xian received a gift from the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate."
Qin Yu smiled confidently, "Uncle Lan, just watch when everyone gathers at the Holy Emperor Hall. The first spot will definitely be mine."
"Keeping secrets from me?" Jiang Lan laughed heartily.
Qin Yu also chuckled.
"Alright, since you’re fully confident, I won’t worry. I’ll leave you two alone now," Jiang Lan said purposefully, then left.
Following Jiang Lan’s departure, Qin Yu and Li’er were affectionate with each other.
After a long while, Li’er, lying in Qin Yu’s arms, looked up and asked softly, "Big Brother Qin Yu, are you really completely confident about the first spot? I heard that Zhou Xian received a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."
Qin Yu smiled slightly and gently flicked Li’er’s cute nose, "Don’t worry. He received a gift from the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, but I received gifts from both the Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate and Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate."
"Two Heavenly Venerates? Isn’t Piao Yu —" Li’er’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Although I can’t confirm the identity of the silver-haired and silver-eyed person, that gift is certainly related to Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate," Qin Yu said with a slight smile, "Alright, have utmost peace of mind."
...
The time spent with Li’er always passed very quickly. When Qin Yu left Mu Mansion, he had stayed there for a full three days.
Upon returning to Piaoyun Mansion, Qin Yu found Uncle Fu, Qiu Zhongfu, and others had been eagerly awaiting him.
By the time Qin Yu returned to Snow City, Uncle Fu and the others had already learned of his whereabouts since they could sense his position. They had prepared a lavish banquet, but it inexplicably took three days before Qin Yu came back from Mu Mansion.
In Piaoyun Mansion, Qin Yu led a comfortable life, simply waiting for the day to gather at the Holy Emperor Hall.
In the garden.
"In eighteen days, we’ll head to the Holy Emperor Hall to determine who will secure the first slot," Qin Yu murmured, picking up the wine jug from the table nearby and taking a sip.
At that moment, a Heavenly God Servant approached from a distance.
"My Lord, Princess Jiang Yan seeks an audience."
"Oh? Have her come here," Qin Yu hastily responded, wondering if Jiang Yan had also come to gauge his chances of securing a slot?
Over the past few days, many had indeed been probing him.
Among them, some had been instigated by Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian did not know about the three First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures Qin Yu possessed, but he was aware of the gifts bestowed by Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate.
Zhou Xian wasn’t sure whether his black Ruyi could match up to Qin Yu’s gourd.
"Brother Qin Yu," Jiang Yan came alone.
"Yan’er, what brings you here?" Qin Yu asked with a smile. Seeing Jiang Yan’s expression, Qin Yu was sure she had good news.
Jiang Yan chirped cheerfully, "Brother Qin Yu, Brother Luo Yu has ascended."
"Luo Yu? Jun Luoyu?" Qin Yu was slightly startled.
Jiang Yan nodded continuously, "Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on him. He ascended two years ago, and I even met him."
Qin Yu felt very happy inside.
"When you met him, what was Luo Yu’s reaction?" Qin Yu was curious about Jun Luoyu’s reaction. In Jun Luoyu’s eyes, Jiang Yan was just an Immortal Emperor with comparatively modest prowess, but upon his arrival in the Divine World and learning of Jiang Yan’s true identity...
Jiang Yan smiled proudly, "Hehe, luckily, Brother Luo Yu was very shocked at first, but he’s quite adaptable. Because of me, Brother Luo Yu was spared a thousand years of mining."
"I’ve been back in Snow City for a while now, why did you only come today? Were you with Luo Yu these past few days?" Qin Yu inquired.
Jiang Yan nodded cheerfully, "Yes. He’s in ’Luanshan City’ under the jurisdiction of Northern Pole Snow City, and that Chi Qing is there too."
"Chi Qing, the Green Emperor?" Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.
Jiang Yan nodded, "Yes, Green Emperor’s strength is indeed impressive. When he first ascended to the Divine World, he was already at the pinnacle of the Intermediate Divine Being level, and now he has become an Upper Level Divine Being. However, Grandmother would not integrate Chi Qing into Snow City until he reaches the Heavenly God Realm."
Qin Yu suddenly understood.
That explained why he had never seen the Green Emperor in Snow City all these years.
Qin Yu had to marvel internally. The Green Emperor really was formidable. He had stayed in the Immortal, Demon, and Spirit worlds for so long, and his soul had achieved the ’Soul Golden Core,’ which easily allowed him to handle beings like the Peng Demon Emperor during his Tribulation Crossing.
"Brother Qin Yu, do you have any assurance about securing the first slot for my sister’s marriage competition?" Jiang Yan asked as she nudged Qin Yu’s arm.
Qin Yu grinned, "Do you even need to ask?"
*******
Today, the ’Holy Emperor Hall’ of the Northern Pole Snow City was bustling once again, with eighteen candidates gathered, and thirteen Divine Kings sitting high above in the hall.
The entire hall was filled with laughter and chatter.
"Qin Yu, this spot is now between you and Zhou Xian," Marquis Kui Yin said with a laugh, as Qin Yu and Zhou Xian glanced at each other.
Confidence was evident on both of their faces.
Suddenly, Qin Yu, Zhou Xian, Duanmu Yu, and everyone else looked upwards. At that moment, the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Jiang Fan stood up smiling, immediately silencing everyone below.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Jiang Fan began with a smile,
"Ladies and gentlemen, ten years have passed, and the first slot for my daughter’s public suitors will soon be determined. Now, let the eighteen candidates present their gifts," Jiang Fan said as his gaze swept over the eighteen people below.
At that moment, Zhou Xian’s father, the Northwest Saint Emperor ’Zhou Huo’, laughed out loud, "Brother Jiang, let’s not make it so troublesome. As far as I know, only the Artifact Refining Master Qin Yu and my son Zhou Xian received blessings from the Heavenly Venerates. Let just these two present their gifts."
Jiang Fan just smiled and nodded.
Zhou Xian was the first to stand up and then walked to the center of the hall. After respectfully saluting the thirteen Divine Kings above, he said, "Uncle, the gift I have received is the ’Sulfur Flame Ruyi’ bestowed by the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate; this Sulfur Flame Ruyi is a Second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."
The thirteen Divine Kings above gave a slight nod.
Jiang Fan’s wife, Chunyu Rou, nodded and said, "This ’Sulfur Flame Ruyi’ is not only a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure but ’Ruyi’ also inherently carries a connotation of celebration; using it as a gift for a marriage competition is quite appropriate indeed."
Behind the Asura God King, Hou Fei was making faces at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry, but Hou Fei was anxious for him. Qin Yu gave Hou Fei a slight smile and gestured with his eyes to reassure him.
Just then the Asura God King suddenly spoke, "Zhou Xian’s gift is indeed good, but let’s take a look at Qin Yu’s gift as well."
Jiang Fan, also very interested in Qin Yu the Artifact Refining Master, immediately spoke with a laugh, "I have also heard that Qin Yu reached the top of the Heavenly Ascending Steps and thus received a blessing from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate."
Taking not a Divine King stance yet ascending the Heavenly Ascending Steps, the Divine Kings above looked at Qin Yu differently, while those beside them whispered among themselves.
"Qin Yu, please present your gift," Jiang Fan said with a smile looking at Qin Yu.
Immediately, all eyes turned to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu also smiled and saluted Jiang Fan, who was his future father-in-law. How could he be disrespectful?
Qin Yu smiled as he stood up and then walked to the center of the hall, standing next to Zhou Xian. Before Qin Yu could speak, Zhou Xian addressed him, "Brother Qin Yu, you received a gift from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate. I wonder what treasure he bestowed upon you? Please, show us."
Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry.
He flipped his hand and brought out the Green Spring Gourd. The many Divine Kings on the stage could feel the unique aura of the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure emanating from this ancient bronze gourd.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "This is the Green Spring Gourd. The Green Spring Gourd is also a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. It can shoot out Green Springs to attack and bind."
Upon hearing that Qin Yu’s item was also a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, Zhou Xian couldn’t help but laugh.
"Both are second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, but whose is slightly better?" Jiang Fan said with a smile. "According to the original rules, let the thirteen Divine Kings judge, and the one with the most support wins."
Chunyu Rou smiled and said, "Although both treasures are second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, I think this ’Ruyi’ carries a sense of joy and might be slightly superior. Unfortunately, I don’t have a vote."
Qin Yu glanced at Chunyu Rou.
"This future mother-in-law seems to support Zhou Xian," Qin Yu said with a hint of a smile on his lips. "Depending on this Green Spring Gourd, it is unlikely to win. I can only..."
At this moment, the Divine Kings above began to prepare for the judgment.
"Hold on." Qin Yu’s voice echoed throughout the entire hall, causing all the Divine Kings to pause and look at Qin Yu.
Zhou Xian frowned and said, "Brother Qin Yu, the Divine Kings are contemplating their judgments. Why are you interrupting them?"
"Qin Yu, please speak if you have something to say," Jiang Fan said with a smile.
As an Artifact Refining Master, Qin Yu still had some influence.
Qin Yu looked up at the thirteen Divine Kings and spoke loudly, "Honorable Divine Kings, I didn’t say that my gift was this Green Spring Gourd. There’s no need to compare it with the Sulfur Flame Ruyi."
"It’s not the Green Spring Gourd?" Most people in the hall were puzzled.
Qin Yu said with a smile, "Just now, Brother Zhou Xian asked me to show everyone the gift bestowed by Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate. So I brought it out. That doesn’t mean my gift is the Green Spring Gourd."
"May I ask, Brother Qin Yu, what then is your gift? You know, the gift must be bestowed by a Heavenly Venerate," Zhou Xian interjected.
"Of course, I know that."
Qin Yu glanced at Zhou Xian and then looked at the thirteen Divine Kings above, "My gift is not the ’Green Spring Gourd’ given by Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate, but the ’Luo Yu Saber’ bestowed by Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate."
Qin Yu immediately put away the Green Spring Gourd, and at the same time, a black war saber with a surface covered in blood-red light appeared before him.
"Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate?"
Zhou Xian’s expression changed drastically, and all the Heavenly Gods in the hall were shocked, even the expressions of the thirteen Divine Kings suddenly froze.
The strongest and most mysterious among the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns—Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate!
Qin Yu continued to speak loudly, "This saber is named ’Luo Yu’, and it is a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. My sincere gift is this Luo Yu Saber!"
A gift from Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate?
A first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?
The entire hall of the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace fell silent, with only the sound of Qin Yu’s voice echoing.
