Chapter 0 62. Qin Gou Visited
No wonder Mo Qingxin was so accommodating even after her conditions were rejected. She had been waiting for him here all along.
From this moment on, a faint smile appeared on Qin Gou’s lips. He didn’t argue or debate, but calmly watched Mo Qingxin’s performance.
“The news of my appearance must not be revealed. For future matters, follow my son’s arrangements.” As she spoke, Mo Qingxin glanced at Qin Gou with an air of pride. However, his unusually gentle smile sent a chill down her spine.
If Qin Gou had glared at her, Mo Qingxin wouldn’t have been nervous, as it would have meant he was powerless against her and merely resorting to anger. But now… it felt as though she had courted death by trying to win a verbal spat.
A moment later, as they walked out of the council hall, no matter how Mo Qingxin’s fiery red figure flitted before his eyes, Qin Gou remained silent. He only returned to his cave dwelling and, under Mo Qingxin’s nervously watchful gaze, sealed the entrance with various grand arrays. Then, he took out the rouge box, causing the Soul Locking Crystal Coffin to appear before him, and reached out to touch it.
“Qin Gou, I was just teasing you earlier, trying to have some fun. You won’t be staying in the Female Country forever anyway, so don’t be so angry,” Mo Qingxin said with a dry laugh, a sense of dread rising within her even though she didn’t understand what Qin Gou was doing.
“Angry? I’m not angry,” Qin Gou replied with his usual smile.
“Then what are you doing now? Why are you touching my Soul Locking Crystal Coffin?” Mo Qingxin asked, confused.
“Nothing, I’m just really thirsty,” Qin Gou said, his eyes narrowing slightly with a knowing look.
Mo Qingxin was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly. “Don’t joke, Qin Gou. You’ve already sworn a Spirit Oath, so you can’t use such methods to threaten me anymore. If the power of the Heavenly Dao retaliates, even you won’t survive.” Mo Qingxin’s heart immediately settled. So, it was just the same old tricks. Not worth worrying about.
Just then, Qin Gou finally found the so-called ‘hidden hole’ on the edge of the Soul Locking Crystal Coffin, barely an inch in size.
With a single thought, Qin Gou activated his Freedom Intent form, shrinking himself to the extreme of one inch. He twisted his body and instantly drilled into the opening. Once inside the relatively spacious Soul Locking Crystal Coffin, he quickly resumed his original size, lying on his side beside Mo Qingxin’s true body.
“You… Qin Gou, what do you want to do to me? Get out quickly!” Mo Qingxin trembled all over, her face turning pale as she screamed.
Qin Gou reached out, gently pinching Mo Qingxin’s soft, fair cheek, and said with a smile, “Didn’t I tell you? I’m very thirsty.”
Outside the Soul Locking Crystal, Mo Qingxin’s semi-transparent consciousness also showed a distorted face as if being pinched, and she asked with confusion, “What does your thirst have to do with coming into my Soul Locking Crystal? I told you, the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot be defied, and I won’t be afraid of you acting rashly anymore! Also, I warn you, if you stay in there too long, it will be difficult for you to get out.”
“Still don’t understand?” Qin Gou chuckled in amusement. “Then take a good look back at what you said in the council hall just now. What did you say I was to you when I came here?”
“I…”
Mo Qingxin scratched her head awkwardly. “I said I was your mother, and you were my own son, and that I embarrassed you in front of the citizens of the Female Country.”
“That’s right.”
“But what does that have to do with being thirsty? If you’re thirsty, you go drink water. What else could you drink…” In an instant, Mo Qingxin felt as if her throat was being choked. Her pretty face turned as red as blood, and she stammered, “Boss, are you joking? No, it can’t be what I think it is, can it?”
“That remains to be seen.” Although he said this, Qin Gou’s gaze inadvertently swept over Mo Qingxin’s chest.
“No, please don’t!” Mo Qingxin regretted it deeply. What kind of evil had possessed her to provoke this terrifying man?
“Why not? Didn’t the Saint Ancestor Empress herself eagerly say it? Since we are in such a relationship, this sort of thing is only natural. After all, this seat is a young and ignorant, mischievous rascal who is still growing.” Qin Gou said with great seriousness.
Mo Qingxin immediately looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears, stamping her feet anxiously beside the Soul Locking Crystal. “I was wrong, I was terribly wrong! Boss, please let me go. Oh, right, it’s actually because I got my period, so I was emotionally unstable and accidentally spoke nonsense. It’s forgivable!”
“Is that true? Let me see!” Qin Gou smiled slightly, his expression now one of great concern. “It’s not a small matter for a generation’s Realm Lord to be affected by such a condition.”
“No!”
Mo Qingxin was so terrified that she almost fainted on the spot, exclaiming in horror, “I was talking nonsense again, I’m really wrong! My mouth is too loose, I always speak such nonsense!”
At this moment, Mo Qingxin finally seemed to understand why the Nine Saint Monarch had always tolerated Qin Gou’s bullying. It was because any slight resistance in front of him could easily lead to him turning the tables and bringing even greater misfortune. This person was too terrifying. Was the current misfortune that had befallen the Saint Monarch and herself their punishment from the Heavenly Dao, to atone for their past transgressions?!
“Alright, alright, I don’t want to drive another Realm Lord mad. Just tell me, will you dare to fool around again in the future?” Qin Gou poked Mo Qingxin’s body’s face again and asked impatiently.
“Never again, I’ll never dare to again in this lifetime. I will honestly serve you from now on,” Mo Qingxin shook her head vigorously, her small hands waving like fans.
“That’s good. However, a slight punishment is still necessary.”
As he spoke, Qin Gou suddenly took out a brush from his Nas storage ring and began to quickly write and draw on Mo Qingxin’s snow-white neck downwards.
“No, boss, stop! Even if you want to write on my Soul Locking Crystal Coffin, you can write whatever you want, but please don’t write on my true body. It will…”
Mo Qingxin said hurriedly, but Qin Gou was too fast. In an instant, several large characters written in a vigorous hand, ‘Arc-Moon Qin Gou visited here,’ along with a somewhat mischievous drawing of a person in a diving pose, were completed.
“Don’t worry, this ink will disappear in a couple of days.”
However, Mo Qingxin’s consciousness stood frozen on the spot, with the exact same text and pattern appearing on her chest.
At the same time, throughout the Hidden Female Country, all the special portraits and stone sculptures of the Saint Ancestor Empress enshrined in the homes of the citizens, used to absorb faith and incense power, also displayed the celestial master’s exquisite artistry. In less than three seconds, the entire country was in turmoil.
“Presumptuous!”
“How dare you insult the Saint Ancestor Empress like this?”
“This person deserves to die!”
“No… This Qin Gou of Arc-Moon Mountain, isn’t he the father of the Holy Son that the Saint Ancestor Empress mentioned earlier, and thus the Saint Ancestor Empress’s Dao Companion! And this so-called ‘visited here’…” A crowd of high-ranking officials in the Female Country exchanged glances and fell into silence.
Until, as if a startling remark awakened someone from a dream.
“So, this existence seems to be merely stating facts?”
“And this existence is perhaps too modest. After all, the Holy Son is already so old, so a mere ‘visit’ is certainly not enough.”
