Chapter 495: Get Married When You Are 18

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Qian, who originally needed to rest in bed for a period of time to recover, only slept for a night with Yan Qingxiu’s help before recovering. This made Xu Yan and his wife very happy.

The couple treated Yan Qingxiu like an honored guest and showered him with concern and care.

Yan Qingxiu was shocked by the couple’s enthusiasm. He hurriedly packed his luggage and got Xu Qian to bring them around.

Mount Kunlun was high above the sea. There was not a single tree in the lofty mountains and steep mountains. All one could see was pure white snow.

After dark, they set up camp at the half hill point and lit a fire to roast beef and sheep.

Yan Qingxiu was not afraid of the cold at all. He sat on a big rock and roasted lamb for everyone in the snowy environment.

After roasting it, Yan Qingxiu gave the fattest lamb leg to Han Jun. Yan Qingxiu’s roasting skills were very exquisite. The mutton was roasted to a brownish-red color and was very fragrant.

Han Jun tore off a piece of mutton and tasted it. She was instantly conquered by the crisp and smooth texture.

The lamb leg was very big and Han Jun couldn’t finish it alone, so she gave some to Xu Qian.

Xu Qian had been in a daze. When Han Jun handed the mutton to him, he didn’t even reach out to take it. Han Jun called him. “Brother.”

Hearing this, Xu Qian snapped out of his trance and realized that there was a lamb leg in front of him.

He took the lamb leg and took a bite. Yan Qingxiu asked Han Jun, “Master, I gave that to you. Why did you give it to Young Master Xu?”

Hearing the word ‘master’, Xu Qian suddenly stopped chewing his food. He remembered that when he died, Ah Qiu was just a little Supremacy. Madam Dong called her master. Clearly, Ah Qiu had achieved very good results after his death.

Thinking that he had missed Ah Qiu’s growth and couldn’t see her shine in the Aosheng Continent, Xu Qian couldn’t help feeling slightly melancholic.

Han Jun said to Yan Qingxiu, “I can’t finish it.”

Yan Qingxiu said, “Your appetite has decreased, Master.” In the past, his master especially loved mutton and roasted mutton. The reason why Yan Qingxiu’s roasted mutton skills were so good was to please his master.

Han Jun turned to Xu Qian and said, “I’ll sleep in the same tent with you tonight.” She had a lot to say to Xu Qian and had to have a long chat.

Once Han Jun said this, Yan Qingxiu, Han Miao, Han Zheng, and Xu Qian were all stunned.

Xu Qian looked stunned. He thought he had heard wrongly. “You’re sleeping with me tonight?”

Han Jun nodded calmly.

Seeing Han Jun nod, Yan Qingxiu and Han Zheng couldn’t sit still anymore. The two of them stood up at the same time.

After Yan Qingxiu stood up, he just looked at Han Jun hesitantly, pretending to be angry but not daring to speak up. Yan Qingxiu was worried about Han Jun’s decision, but he didn’t have the guts to refute every decision his master made.

Yan Qingxiu didn’t dare to go against Han Jun’s decision, but Han Zheng wasn’t afraid.

Han Zheng pointed at Han Jun’s forehead and scolded angrily, “Second Sister! What nonsense are you saying? You are only 17 years old. How can you live in the same tent as Brother Xu!”

“You usually look like a rather sober person. Why do you lose your intelligence the moment you fall in love?!” After he scolded, he saw that Han Jun’s reaction was calm and showed no signs of repentance. Han Zheng glared at Xu Qian again. “Brother Xu! My elder sister is still underage, but you are an adult! I am a man. I understand a man’s nature. Don’t falsely promise me that you will only cover yourself with a blanket and chat with my elder sister when you stay in the same room!”

“If you really love my sister, you should respect her and love her! Not kidnap her to bed when she’s still young and ignorant!”

Han Zheng was furious! He didn’t hold back when talking to Xu Qian.

Han Jun’s heart warmed after hearing her brother’s words.

This was my family, always protecting me and thinking for me.

This was an experience that Yan Qingqiu had never experienced in her previous life. She loved and cherished her family.

Xu Qian was also very confused.

He hurriedly said to Han Jun, “Little kid, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Don’t harm me.” If he really brought Han Jun into his tent tonight, Han Zhan would send him to prison tomorrow night.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Han Miao said softly, “Jun’er, listen to my advice. Girls still have to love themselves.”

Han Jun said with a cold face, “I just have something to say to Xu Qian. The kind of conversation where I won’t take off my clothes.”

Everyone was embarrassed.

In the end, Han Jun still entered Xu Qian’s tent.

Xu Qian couldn’t ignore Yan Qingxiu and Han Zheng’s covetous eyes. After entering the tent, he didn’t close the tent tightly and left a gap.

They lived in a cave that sheltered them from the wind. It wouldn’t be very cold even if they left a gap.

Seeing Xu Qian’s action, Han Zheng’s tense face relaxed.

Han Jun hid her body in a warm sleeping bag. Xu Qian’s sleeping bag was very close to hers. Xu Qian squatted in the tent and stared at Han Jun for a long while before entering his own sleeping bag.

He had just laid down when he heard Han Jun say, “Qu Jingtian, after you left everyone in the Aosheng Continent wanted to beat me up. They won’t tolerate me.”

Xu Qian knew nothing about the development of the Aosheng Continent after his death.

Hearing Han Jun’s words, Yan Qingxiu’s heart clenched.

Xu Qian asked her, “What happened after I left?”

Han Jun asked him, “Do you really want to know?”

“Mmm.”

Qu Jingtian wanted to know everything about Ah Qiu.

Han Jun had been recovering her memories these two days. She basically remembered everything about the Aosheng Continent.

Han Jun told Xu Qian, “That year, when I woke up, I realized that you had already died in my arms with a big bloody hole in your chest. I planned to follow you…”

When Xu Qian heard this, he widened her eyes and glared at Han Jun. He scolded her softly, “Silly!”

Han Jun actually felt warm at being scolded. “Qu Jingtian, I haven’t heard you scold me in a long time.”

When Xu Qian heard this, his heart ached again.

He took his hand out of the sleeping bag and grabbed Han Jun’s left hand.

Han Jun interlocked her fingers with him and heard Xu Qian say, “Ah Qiu, I gave you my heart because I want you to live well. If you really follow me and die, you will be letting me down.”

“Qu Jingtian, dying for you is also my intention.”

Xu Qian instinctively said, “But I want you to live!”

Han Jun suddenly flew into a rage and roared. “But what I want is for you to live!”

Xu Qian was speechless.

No one was wrong, but they loved each other too much.

Xu Qian silently held Han Jun’s left hand tightly. After a moment, she sighed. “Ah Qiu, when you are 18 years old, let’s get married.”

He didn’t want to waste another second. He couldn’t wait to marry Han Jun and make him his wife.

Han Jun tilted her head and looked at Xu Qian’s handsome brows. After a moment, she nodded and said, “Qu Jingtian, I’ve been waiting for this sentence for many years.”

Xu Qian remained silent and held her hand tightly.

Han Jun was too happy. She couldn’t help reaching into her bag with her right hand and taking out a toffee.

As their father liked to eat toffee at home, the siblings developed the habit of silently eating one toffee to calm down when they were agitated or sad.

The taste of the toffee melted in her mouth and Han Jun gradually calmed down.

She swirled the toffee in her mouth with the tip of her tongue. As she played with that candy, she said, “Back then, I indeed wanted to die with you. Just as I was about to draw my sword and commit suicide, your master, the Immeasurable Venerable, arrived. He sensed that you were still alive and followed your tracks all the way to the Abominable Land. He originally wanted to secretly kill you and take your heart to achieve his goal of ascending.”

“When he rushed over, he happened to see you lying in my arms covered in blood. He realized that in order to save me, you didn’t hesitate to sacrifice your heart to me. He had raised you for so many years for your heart. When he realized that you had given it to me, he was angry and furious. He tried to kill me and take away the heart in my body, but he was not my match.”

Yan Qingqiu was an evil spirit and was born with terrifying strength. She had also studied under Qu Jingtian for a hundred years and was already very capable. Even the top ranked Supremacy Wuliang was not her match.

“Supremacy Wuliang was nearly killed by me. In the end, he sacrificed 100 years of his cultivation and used the Blood Shield Art to escape from me. I carried your rotting corpse and hid in the land of extreme evil for a year. I used parasol wood to build a coffin for you and hid your rotting corpse in it. Wherever I went, I brought you…”

Xu Qian’s heart ached uncontrollably just from hearing Han Jun’s description. He didn’t even dare to think of that scene.

Han Jun had always had a cold expression. Even when she was narrating the most sorrowful past, she didn’t show any sadness or depression. She was very satisfied just thinking that Qu Jingtian was still alive, that she could still see someone alive, smile, and call her little friend gently.

All the pain was in the past. The future was more worth looking forward to.

Xu Qian hid the warmth in his eyes and asked, “What happened after that?”

“After that…”

The aura on Han Jun’s entire body became cold. She said bitterly, “But I underestimated the shamelessness of the Immeasurable Venerable. After he escaped from the land of extreme evil, he purposely released the news that the Heartless Swordsman, Qu Jingtian, was killed by the evil spirit embryo. That year, in the demon-subduing war in the land of extreme evil, you split open the endless abyss with your own strength and sealed all the evil spirits and fiendish cultivators. After a great victory, you were heavily injured and went missing. From then on, the Heartless Swordsman, Qu Jingtian, became the savior of the Aosheng Continent. You were the savior of the Aosheng Continent, the idol of all the cultivators. Your holy statue was worshipped by all the countries of the Aosheng Continent. You were still alive, but your heart was killed and gouged out by the evil spirit embryo. Once this news spread, it raised a storm on the entire Aosheng Continent.”

“Thanks to Supremacy Wuliang, this evil spirit of mine instantly became a demon that everyone in the Aosheng Continent would kill.”

When Xu Qian found out about Supremacy Wuliang’s actions, hatred grew in his heart. He really wanted to kill Supremacy Wuliang right away!

“Did they bully you?”

Han Jun said, “I heard that there is a domain on the Aosheng Continent that has been covered by glaciers for tens of thousands of years. No one has set foot there. That is where high-level spiritual beasts live. An evil spirit like me can’t interact with people, so I decided to carry you to the Glacier Continent.”

“Before I reached my destination, I met that group of people. They were the most powerful cultivators in the Aosheng Continent. They were all super experts who had been instigated by the Immeasurable Venerable to come and avenge you. That time, a total of 88 of them came. All of them wanted me to tear me into pieces and even wanted me to hand over your body.”

“I refused. I fought with them for three days. They took turns, and in the end, I lost terribly because of my serious injuries. They wanted to take the coffin on my back. I tried my best to resist. In the process, your bones rolled down from the coffin and were torn into ashes by their powerful spiritual power. The wind blew them to the outermost area of the Glacier Continent…”

Since then, every summer, the periphery of the Glacier Continent would be filled with terpsichores.

“I wanted to kill the Immeasurable Venerable to avenge you. In order to avoid the pursuit of that group of experts, I hid in the Glacier Continent. Later on, I defeated the most powerful spirit beast in the Glacier Continent and signed a covenant with the spirit beast to become the owner of the Glacier Continent. After you died, I secretly brought some homeless children back to the Glacier Continent like you did. Gradually, the Glacier Continent became lively and established a country. I became the lord and king of the Glacier Continent, the king of all beasts. Those cultivators were no longer my match.”

“After more than 200 years, I finally achieved the ability to break through the Aosheng Continent to welcome ascension. I secluded myself for 10 years and made ample preparations for ascension. The ascension required 18 tests. I cleared them layer by layer, but lost at the last.”

At this point, Han Jun took the initiative to stop. She hooked Xu Qian’s finger and asked him, “Do you know what the last stage tests?”

Xu Qian thought seriously for a moment before saying, “Cut off all ties?”

“No.” Han Jun saw that Xu Qian couldn’t guess the truth and told him, “The 18th level is a shocking scam! It sends the ascenders into an independent space. That space is locked with the only dozens of medicine men left on Aosheng Continent! As long as the cultivators who participate in the clearing defeat any medicine man and take his heart, they will pass the test!”

Hearing this, Xu Qian’s breathing suddenly quickened!

“Do you understand now, Qu Jingtian? The so-called Immortal Cultivation on the Aosheng Continent is actually a scam! That is a scam that the high-level civilizations purposely made in order to kill the smartest and most powerful medicine man on the Aosheng Continent in order to prevent the Aosheng Continent from advancing to a high-level civilization to snatch resources from them! They purposely injected spiritual energy into the Aosheng Continent and scattered a group of seeded competitors there. These competitors are born with the talent to cultivate. They left their hometown and embarked on the journey of Immortal Cultivation to achieve ascension as their lifelong pursuit!”

“When these people’s abilities reach the recognition of the leaders of the high-level civilization planets, they will obtain the right to accept the approval of ascension. All the Immortal Cultivators who successfully killed the medicine man and dug out his heart can successfully ascend! The loser will be recognized as a failure and his soul will dissipate!”

“Qu Jingtian, those experts who successfully ascended are actually depriving the Aosheng Continent of its energy! They are true murderers!”

Universe civilization was divided into seven levels.

A first-grade civilization, which was also a planetary civilization, Earth Star unfortunately could only be called the most elementary planetary civilization. It would still need thousands of years to develop from a second-grade civilization.

Second-grade civilizations had also been turned into a constant civilization. This civilization had to use the stars as a source of energy for space exploration.

The third-grade civilization was also a Star System civilization. It could activate spacetime travel to travel across stars, understand black holes, grasp multidimensional space, use NDA information to strengthen its body, and connect with other Star Systems or higher civilizations…

After that was the Super Star System Civilization, the so-called spatial civilization, the Universal Civilization, and the ultimate divine civilization.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Aosheng Continent under the rule of the medicine men had already reached the peak of a second-grade civilization and touched the edge of a third-grade civilization. The birth of a high-grade civilization would definitely threaten the benefits of a higher-grade civilization.

Advanced civilizations also had their own rules and regulations. They couldn’t start a war with low-level civilizations, but they weren’t willing to see low-level civilizations successfully advance to high-level civilizations to snatch resources from them.

As a result, they thought of such a vicious method.

After hundreds of thousands of years of painstaking planning by the high-level civilization, the former ruler of the Aosheng Continent, the ‘medicine man’, was slowly slaughtered. Now, the remaining dozens of medicine men were all imprisoned in an independent space, waiting to be slaughtered by more cultivators.

When Yan Qingqiu entered the independent space and thought she was in an illusion, she met the clan leader of the medicine men. The clan leader smelled the scent of his own kind on Yan Qingqiu and showed mercy to her.

Their medicine man race’s body had been modified and was very powerful and special.

Unless one was willing, the heart of the medicine man race could not be transplanted into another person’s body to live.

Those hearts forcefully snatched by experts were either made into medicine or damaged for various reasons.

Only when the medicine man was willing to sacrifice his heart for someone could that person successfully survive with the medicine man’s heart!

And in Yan Qingqiu’s body, there was the aura of their kind.

The clan leader lost without a fight and admitted defeat.

Yan Qingqiu saw that the other party took the initiative to admit defeat and couldn’t help feeling surprised. After asking around, she realized that the top expert medicine man who once ruled this world was actually killed by an ascender!

After she discovered the truth of ascension, she took the initiative to forfeit and gave up the opportunity to ascend.

In order to prevent the cultivators who failed their ascension from divulging the truth, the leaders of the high-level civilizations punished every failure by scattering one’s soul.

As high-level civilizations couldn’t cross levels to hinder the development of low-level civilizations, the cunning Yan Qingqiu split her soul into ten pieces and integrated them into lower-level civilizations, waiting for Yan Qingxiu to gather the soul fragments to help her revive.

Only by hiding in the primary civilization world could she stop the high-level civilizations from searching for her.

Xu Qian was shocked to hear this.

He never expected that behind the so-called ascension to immortality hid such an inhumane truth!

The high-level civilization world couldn’t personally attack the low-level civilization world, so they let the low-level civilization kill each other. The originally smart and powerful medicine men were slaughtered one by one by the cultivators. The appearance of the cultivators was the true tragedy of the Aosheng Continent!

Xu Qian crawled out of his sleeping bag. He sat up and said to Han Jun, “Jun’er, we must go back and tell the truth. We can’t let those people succeed!”

Han Jun thought for a moment and said, “Wait a little longer. I want to accompany my parents through this life.”

“Okay!”
