Chapter 311: Chapter 309: Qingsu Island Trivial Matters (Part 1)

Su Qing didn’t immediately extract this Spirit Stone.

Instead, he placed it inside the Synthesizer.

He was descending to Qingsu Island.

Just as he landed,

he saw Xiaoqing, as well as Dahuang and the White Fox.

"Master," Xiaoqing landed happily on Su Qing’s shoulder.

"Mm."

Su Qing nodded, then asked with a smile, "How are things on Qingsu Island?"

"Master, everything is normal at present."

"Run an Inference for me. See if any of those Cultivators left behind any measures targeting me."

"Yes, Master."

"There are none," Xiaoqing quickly replied.

Xiaoqing sent a mental message, "Master, after the last incident, the Array Plate now purges all soul auras on the island every hour. Even the faintest trace of a soul left by a passing mortal is cleansed away."

"That’s good. This way, I won’t be discovered when I leave."

Su Qing smiled.

However, he soon saw a woman with fiery red hair suddenly rush over,

only to stop right in front of him.

Seeing her, Su Qing smiled, opened his arms, and walked over.

"Long time no see." Su Qing hugged the woman with fiery red hair.

Seeing him in the flesh, Su Hongshang finally felt a weight lift from her heart.

"Where on earth have you been all these years?" Su Hongshang whispered, feeling the warmth of Su Qing’s embrace.

"Cultivating, of course," Su Qing said with a laugh, stroking her hair. It was smooth and silky, and carried a faint scent of orchids.

Su Qing bent down slightly, slid one arm under the crook of Su Hongshang’s knees, and swept her up in a princess carry.

Su Hongshang naturally wrapped her arms around Su Qing’s neck.

"Did you break through to Divinity Transformation?" Su Hongshang noticed Su Qing had become even more handsome.

He had an indescribable, otherworldly quality, like a banished immortal. Even his faint smile could tug at one’s heartstrings.

He seemed to float on Immortal Qi.

"Of course. Come on, let’s go back to my room."

The sight of Su Qing carrying the acting Lady of the Island was immediately spotted by the Cultivators who often stayed on Qingsu.

"That guy is carrying the Lady of the Island! I know the Isle Lord hasn’t been dead for long, but isn’t this a bit too soon to be looking for Dao Companions?"

"Are you an idiot? Can’t you see that the man carrying the Lady of the Island is a near-perfect likeness of the statue?"

"And he’s way more handsome than the statue. That person *is* the Isle Lord!"

"What!"

"The Master of the Immortal Realm!"

"Damn... He’s so handsome even I’d have to step aside."

"What are you even thinking about? This is the Immortal Realm! The Master of the Immortal Realm has appeared!"

...

Everyone was utterly astonished.

Ever since that sudden surge in Spiritual Qi, the master of the Immortal Realm had not been seen again.

Everyone thought Su Qing was dead.

Now, with so many people gossiping, word of this news had spread to all the major powers in the Marketplace.

Tang Dan had also heard about it.

"Anping, you watch the shop. I’m going to ask around. I have to see this with my own eyes."

Zhang Anping had grown into a young man. His eyes were shrewd, and he had come to understand a great deal about the world.

"Okay, Master," Zhang Anping said with a serious nod.

However, Tang Dan didn’t get to see him,

because Su Qing had quickly returned to his residence.

Then, a Grand Array instantly filled the residence.

The beauty in his arms knew what was about to happen.

"Can I go bathe first?"

"Of course you can, Hongshang." Su Qing gave a wicked grin. "Let’s go together."

"Ah!" Su Hongshang cried out shyly as Su Qing carried her to the bathroom.

Su Hongshang grinned wickedly to herself. ’Hmph, I’m going to give you a run for your money today!’

A fierce battle was inevitable.

As the saying goes, reunion after a brief separation is sweeter than a honeymoon.

The three-year itch had to be scraped to the bone and purged.

...

...

「One day later.」

Su Qing was panting for breath.

Seeing Su Hongshang’s messy, fiery red hair, her flushed, rosy complexion, and her alluringly exposed figure, Su Qing couldn’t help but pull the blanket over her.

He didn’t know what had gotten into Su Hongshang yesterday; she had seemed intent on draining Su Qing dry.

If Su Qing’s body hadn’t been so formidable, he probably would have been defeated.

In her efforts to defeat Su Qing, Su Hongshang had held nothing back.

Unfortunately, her technique wasn’t refined enough. Under Su Qing’s fierce offensive, Su Hongshang was defeated.

Su Qing had just cleaned himself up and gotten dressed.

He saw Su Hongshang lying on her side. Now that she had recovered, she smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to make your little Maid wait any longer?"

"That girl has been waiting for a long, long time. She’ll probably wait until she turns into an old hag." Su Hongshang’s gaze on Su Qing grew a little hazy.

’It really feels like a dream...’

"No rush. I just got back to the island, and there are still many things I need to handle. We can deal with that later when I’m free."

"Also, thank you for helping me manage this island." Su Qing smiled and walked over to Su Hongshang.

He gently kissed her on the forehead, then left the room.

Qingsu Island’s smooth development was in no small part thanks to Su Hongshang.

Xiaoqing was waiting at the door.

Because Xiaoqing knew its master would want to ask about the situation on the island.

"Master."

"Mm. Are they waiting outside?"

By "they," he definitely meant the people in the residential area—

his master and the others.

"Yes, Master," Xiaoqing nodded.

"No rush."

Su Qing knew that Luo Xingya was also in his residence.

The girl wasn’t bad. Su Qing’s efforts in nurturing her hadn’t been in vain; she had already reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Luo Xingya’s Cultivation progress was actually quite good.

She could be considered a prodigy. Most Cultivators couldn’t match her speed of advancing from First-Layer Foundation Establishment to Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment in just three years.

’Forget it. It’s not like I can keep helping her with the Synthesis Technique forever. Let nature take its course,’ Su Qing thought.

He sent a voice transmission.

"Xingya, go pour me a cup of tea. And while you’re at it, tell my master and the others to leave my door for now."

Luo Xingya, who was in the middle of her Cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes. But the abrupt interruption disrupted the flow of her Cultivation Technique, causing her qi and blood to surge in reverse. A trickle of blood escaped the corner of her mouth.

"Why are you so careless?"

Su Qing’s voice sounded again.

A faint green aura appeared around Luo Xingya.

Luo Xingya immediately felt her body recover.

"Don’t get too excited. Hurry up and do what I told you."

After Su Qing’s voice transmission, Luo Xingya finally understood. Her young master was back!

It was just that the soundproofing in Su Qing’s residence was too good.

Yesterday, Su Qing was like an ox plowing a field, while Su Hongshang was like a lark chirping softly.

The good soundproofing meant that Luo Xingya, deep in her Cultivation, had no idea Su Qing had already returned.

Luo Xingya was so happy she ran right out of her quarters.

She saw her young master, and Lord Xiaoqing on his shoulder.

Feeling as if she had fallen into an Illusion Realm, she was incredibly excited and quickly poured Su Qing a cup of tea.

"Young Master, Enlightenment Tea." Luo Xingya presented a teapot and poured a cup for Su Qing.

Su Qing nodded.

Luo Xingya knew she still had a task to complete.

She walked to the main door of the residence, opened it, and saw Tang Dan, Ouyang Mingming, and the others waiting for Su Qing.

The only one she didn’t see was Song Zhining.

At that moment, Song Zhining was still fishing, still in the middle of his Cultivation.

Ever since he started fishing, Song Zhining had grown especially fond of the fishing lifestyle.

...

"Lord Ouyang, Lord Tang, Lord You... The Young Master says you may all head back for now."

Hearing this, Ouyang Mingming frowned. "That brat. I’ve been waiting for a whole day. Is he still not coming out?"

Among everyone present, Ouyang Mingming was the only one who dared to say such a thing.

Luo Xingya silently shook her head.

Seeing this, Ouyang Mingming said with a sigh of resignation, "Alright, Xingya, I’ll head back too. I didn’t mean to blame you just now."

...

As for Su Qing, he was listening to Xiaoqing’s report on the situation over the past three years.
