Chapter 523: Chapter 523. The Battle!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qiu Yongkang left the restaurant full of hatred and anger. He knew that he was no match for the powerful Su Qing. He had the heart to succeed or die. As long as he planned it well, he still had a chance to take Xiaoying away.

Qiu Yongkang left the Moon Pavilion and bought gold foil for his parents and Qiu Yue to visit their graves. At the cemetery, Qiu Yongkang prayed for his parents and Qiu Yue to protect him. He wanted to take Xiaoying away and kill Su Qing to avenge them and help the Qiu family continue their family line.

After returning from the cemetery, he had been waiting outside the government office. The soldiers told him that Xiaoying and Su Qing were going to Jingshi Dao that day. The envoy of Tartan was going to propose marriage to Xiaoying’s grandfather.

Qiu Yongkang was so anxious that he even wanted to blow up the government office and take Xiaoying away.

But in the end, he calmed down. The explosives would not only kill Su Qing but also Xiaoying.

He loved Xiaoying to the bone and couldn’t bear to hurt her.

Just as Qiu Yongkang was about to find someone to lure Xiaoying out, he saw her carrying a small bundle out of the government office. Qiu Yongkang’s heart raced as he stared at Xiaoying, his hands clenched tightly.

He and Xiaoying were fated. Otherwise, why would she go out alone when she was about to leave Mo City?

Qiu Yongkang’s blood was boiling with excitement because of this thought. He did not act rashly and first confirmed if Xiaoying had any guards behind her.

God bless. Fortunately, Xiaoying’s personality was still the same as before: unwilling to trouble others…

She carried the small bag and walked quickly in the snow. Her footsteps were light, and no one knew what she was thinking. A sweet smile hung on her lips.

At this moment, Qiu Yongkang felt that Xiaoying’s smile was particularly glaring. She must be smiling because she thought of marrying Yelu Chun and becoming the Imperial Consort.

Had his Xiaoying forgotten about her childhood sweetheart? Did she forget about Big Brother Qiu?

Images of their childhood flashed past Qiu Yongkang’s eyes. A group of children were playing the game of getting married, and Xiaoying was the bride. Everyone asked her who she wanted to be the groom, and Xiaoying pointed at him without hesitation,

“I want Brother Qiu to be my groom!”

From then on, Qiu Yongkang had already decided that Xiaoying was his wife! They had bowed to heaven and earth, drank wine, and were only one step away from entering the bridal chamber.

Xiaoying had always liked to stick to him since she was young. Xiaoying would follow him wherever he went and smile sweetly at him.

When he caught butterflies for her, Xiaoying clapped her little hands and jumped up and down, saying,

“Brother Qiu is so awesome!”

He brought her to the river to catch fish. Xiaoying’s big eyes were sparkling as she watched. When he caught a fish, she ran over happily and said to him in admiration,

“Brother Qiu is so capable!”

Xiaoying feared the dark and insects, so he would help her catch insects. When it was dark, he would stay by her side. To protect Xiaoying and see her carefree, Qiu Yongkang felt happy.

To give Xiaoying a good life, he followed Shuisheng’s foster father, Bai Jiuxiang, and studied the Four Books and Five Classics diligently to obtain fame.

His master told him about Shuisheng’s background and asked him to assist Shuisheng in taking revenge. Qiu Yongkang agreed. Helping Shuisheng was helping Xiaoying. He had no regrets and was not afraid of death.

But…

If that devilish Su Qing had not appeared, everything would have been the same. Qiu Yue would not have died and would have married Shuisheng as she wished.

His parents would not die. They would see their grandchildren happily under their feet. With his talent, he would be able to give them glory and wealth and earn an imperial mandate for his mother.

He and Xiaoying would naturally be together, and they would have many children. Everyone would be envious of a perfect couple.

Qiu Yongkang followed them and thought about it. When he saw Xiaoying talking to the patrolling soldiers, he hid in the alley. He had been in Mo City for a long time and knew how long the soldiers would patrol. He did not make a move because he was waiting for the patrolling soldiers to pass.

He was worried that Xiaoying would ask them to send her off, but fortunately, Xiaoying rejected the leader’s suggestion and left alone.

Qiu Yongkang watched the soldiers leave before chasing after her.

Xiaoying heard hurried footsteps behind her and turned around to look. Qiu Yongkang took the opportunity to knock her out. After she was knocked out, she followed him like an obedient child.

The Taoist master used this medicine to do bad things. He would drug any woman he fancied and bring her into a secret passage to enjoy. After he was done playing, he would throw her into the alchemy furnace without anyone knowing and destroy the corpse.

The secret passage leading to Mo City was only known to the Celestial Master. He would enter Mo City once a month to capture beautiful women and enjoy them. When he attacked Mo City, he thought that it would be easy to take down Mo City with Qiu Yongkang’s great killing weapon. In order not to reveal his secret, the Celestial Master did not tell the Northern Barbarian Emperor about this secret passage. In the end, it was this secret passage that helped Qiu Yongkang.

Qiu Yongkang brought Xiaoying to the City God Temple and entered the secret passage. He left Mo City through the passage and brought her to the secret base of the Celestial Master.

He wanted to trap Xiaoying here and spend the rest of his life with her. For her sake, he would not seek revenge on Shuisheng!

To enjoy Xiaoying’s dependence on him, he didn’t immediately help her remove the knockout powder. Although Xiaoying was like a child at that moment and didn’t know how to interact with him, that dependence reminded Qiu Yongkang of his childhood.

He held her hand and sat on the luxurious white tiger skin stone bed. Under the white tiger skin was a mattress made of feathers. Lying on it was soft. When he slept, he could not sleep alone. From today onwards, he was no longer lonely.

Every day, he could see Xiaoying wake up in his arms and look at her sweet smile.

He wanted to enter the bridal chamber with Xiaoying now, but there were traces of other women and Taoist masters on the tiger skin. He did not want to complete his and Xiaoying’s life in such a bed.

When she woke, Qiu Yongkang wore his mask and looked at her. Xiaoying jumped down and tried to run, but Qiu Yongkang’s eyes flashed with sadness. “Xiaoying, I’m Big Brother Qiu!”

“Let me go.”

Xiaoying cried and begged him. Qiu Yongkang was furious,

“Let you marry that Yelu Chun?”

Seeing the crazy Qiu Yongkang, Xiaoying was so scared that she turned around and ran. However, she only realized she was in a cave when she ran out. She saw a cave entrance and ran towards it. Qiu Yongkang caught up to her and pressed her against the stone wall. He used a lot of strength, and she felt a piercing pain in her back. Qiu Yongkang held her hands down, his eyes flashing with madness as he growled at her,

“You can only marry me. I won’t allow you to marry anyone else. Xiaoying was scared to tears by Qiu Yongkang.

“You’re not Big Brother Qiu. Big Brother Qiu wouldn’t treat me like this…”

Qiu Yongkang saw that she was crying and let go of her hand. Like a child who had done something wrong, he took out a handkerchief to wipe Sakura’s tears and comforted her gently,

“Xiaoying, don’t be afraid. Why would Big Brother Qiu harm you?”

However, his gentleness scared Xiaoying even more. She pushed Qiu Yongkang away with all her might, not letting him get close to her.

“Xiaoying, tonight is our wedding night. You wait here obediently for Big Brother Qiu.. When I come back, we’ll enter the bridal chamber!”
