Chapter 40: Night Market of Luofeng Town

  Beautiful woman 037 Luofeng Town Night Market

  He stood in front of the mirror, wearing a brocade silk similar to those worn by young masters from noble families. He had an urge to smash the wall. With his delicate features and the faint rouge between his eyebrows, he exuded an air of elegance that was unmatched. Although it wasn't enough to make people mistake him for a woman, he would undoubtedly be described as handsome.

  A man is said to be handsome, but he doesn't know how others feel. Qing Shui would rather look like a beast than be thought of as handsome in this way...

  Qing Shui looked at the beautiful clothes on her body with a bitter expression. That Si Tu Bu Fan was wearing this kind of clothes, only looking much more expensive. Every year during Chinese New Year, even the children of wealthy families in Qingjia Village and nearby villages would wear them, but the grade would be relatively lower. Before, Qing Shui had also worn them, but never felt as awkward as today.

  "If it's not made by Mother, I absolutely won't wear it!" Qing Shui found an excuse for herself that she couldn't avoid wearing!

  Qingshui turned to see her mother's satisfied eyes, but unfortunately, that mother did not want her child to grow up beautiful and lovely. How could a beautiful woman like Qingyi give birth to an ugly child?

  "Looks good, I don't know how many girls will want to marry you in the future." Qing Yi helped Qing Shui adjust his collar, cuffs and sleeves, smiling happily.

  "Mother, let's go to the town and take a look! I think I've never been to the town before, it's already New Year's, I remember that Qinghu said the town is quite lively!" Qing Shui looked at his mother, thinking of his fourth uncle Qing Hai's words. What he didn't expect was that his mother would wait for him every day at the door, and most importantly, she had been worried about him in her heart.

  "Alright!" said Qing Yi happily! A hint of guilt in his eyes, he was busy taking care of the family business, and Qing Shui had left him at home when he was a bit older, coming back to visit every now and then. Fortunately, this child was independent and strong, most importantly, he was the chairman!

  Outside, the sky was not yet dark, but the trees on the street were hung with "light stones", a kind of stone that emits a faint light. Because there are many such stones, their quality is uneven, and it's said that the light stones in villages and towns are the lowest grade, being the least bright. Legend has it that the light stones in the main cities of some states shine as brightly as the moon.

  This was the time when the lanterns were first lit, but there were no lanterns. The effect of these glowstones was even better than lanterns in Qing Shui's eyes. Qing Shui followed his mother out of the Qing residence and headed towards Feng Luo Town, which wasn't too far away.

  Wutong Town got its name from a giant Wutong tree in the town, which is said to have been inhabited by a phoenix in ancient times. The town was named after the fallen phoenix. Even now, some old people still talk about it with a mysterious tone, as if they had seen the phoenix themselves!

  Because Baili City and Wutong Town are relatively far apart, and it's a mountain road, many people find it difficult to travel between the two cities, which has led to Luofeng Town becoming more prosperous. Also, Luofeng Town is the only town in this area!

  So generally buying and selling things can be done in Luofeng Town! The main point that promotes the prosperity of Luofeng Town is that many merchants from Baili City will come here to collect animal hides, meat, crops, and some warriors enter Qingjia Village on the west side of the million-li mountain range for training, they need to replenish supplies in this area!

  Qingjiazhuang is just over a thousand meters away from Luofeng Town. Although it's called Luofeng Town, it's actually still within Qingjiazhuang, because this entire area of hundreds of miles around is all called Qingjiazhuang. This makes Qing Water very puzzled, making Luofeng Town seem like the "capital" of Qingjiazhuang!

  People kept passing by on the road. Since the Qing family was a big family in this generation, many people would greet them politely when they saw someone from the Qing family!

  Children in groups of three or five, dressed in festive attire, playing and chasing each other on the street, at this moment anyone's mood will calm down!

  "Qīng Shuǐ, how's your training for the past half year?" Qīng Yī asked with a smile, looking at Qīng Shuǐ who was now a head taller than him.

  "It's okay!" Qing Shui smiled and gave a reply that made Qing Yi happy!

  The son said it's okay, then it's okay. Qing Yi knew that Qing Shui never boasted about his own strength, just like he didn't even know that his own son wasn't as weak as he seemed on the surface!

  Unconsciously, they had already arrived at the entrance of Luofeng Town. Qing Shui saw the legendary magical Wutong tree and couldn't believe it himself. It was his first time here; for over a decade, he rarely left the gates of the Qing residence, and even when he did go out, it was just to stroll around the few mountains at the entrance of their home.

  Qīng Shuǐ saw this Chinese parasol tree and still felt shocked! It would take more than a dozen adult men to encircle it, with a height of over 100 meters, its dense branches and leaves resembling a super-large umbrella, leaving Qīng Shuǐ speechless, perhaps the phoenix had indeed once lived here.

  Luofeng Town is not very small, about ten miles in circumference. Even now that the night has fallen, the streets are still crowded with people rushing to and fro, especially since it's almost New Year's, every family will take a break to celebrate, so the streets are filled with the sounds of hawkers calling out their wares nonstop! The prosperity is comparable to some big cities in the past life.

  The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, producing a fine woman. The green water appears, coming to the town occasionally can see some beauties, with fair skin, tall stature, plump and slender, after all, there are many people, but still lack a few beauties, only compared to the light dress, there is still some distance.

  Sometimes some beauties would glance at Qing Shui, and whenever this happened, Qing Yi would smile and point to Qing Shui: "Qing Shui, look quickly, there's a little beauty looking at you."

  Qīng Shuǐ was very happy at this time, but what made him happy wasn't the beautiful woman looking at him, it was seeing his mother's attitude and the emotional atmosphere between mother and son.

  Looking at other people's families with parents accompanied by children, or young men and women being affectionate and happy, elderly couples supporting each other...

  Qing Shui inadvertently saw a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his mother's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Qing Shui knew what his mother was thinking about, unfortunately, he didn't even have a tiny bit of chance before reaching the Xiantian realm...

  Qīng Shuǐ saw that his mother was particularly fragile and exhausted at that moment, the exhaustion was in her heart, a kind of helplessness towards the future, there was no chance to turn things around!

  "Mother, I remembered something. After the New Year, I'll be an adult. You promised me that after the New Year, you would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for me and then tell me about Father." Qing Shui grasped his mother's hand, and when he mentioned his father, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, which made Qing Yi's heart skip a beat.

  "Mother will definitely tell you what she promised, but you must listen to Mother's words!" Qing Yi showed a slightly forced smile, her beautiful eyes lovingly looking at Qing Shui.

  "Don't worry, Mother, you have a son, and your son will take care of everything for you!"
