Alchemy Master

Chapter 627, Tender Affection

Translator: Silavin

In this hazy state, Lu Linghan seemed to hear the delighted exclamations of two small beasts and Little Ling’er, and then, in the distant horizon, there appeared to be a streak of light shooting rapidly towards them.

[Yichen!?] Upon seeing this streak of light, Lu Linghan’s chest rose and fell violently. She hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran out of the courtyard.

The streak of light grew closer and closer. When she saw the figure riding on a flying bird, a familiar graceful silhouette that was Xia Zilin, disappointment clearly flashed through her eyes.

Xia Zilin would come by every few months, but this time, it seemed like only a month or so had passed?

Moreover, somewhat unexpectedly, after drawing near, Xia Zilin’s speed suddenly slowed down, and her face seemed to bear an unusual expression.

“Sister Xia.” Lu Linghan suppressed the disappointment in her heart and forced a smile onto her face, calling out softly to the streak of light in mid-air.

Upon hearing Lu Linghan’s call, Xia Zilin finally lowered her head and stepped down from the wooden bird.

Just as Lu Linghan was preparing to take the latter’s hand and walk into the Qin Family Residence, she suddenly felt a gentle breeze brush past from behind, and then she felt herself being embraced around the slender waist by a pair of warm, large hands.

“I’m back.” Just as Lu Linghan was stunned, a soft whisper quietly sounded beside her ear. This immediately caused her delicate body to tremble violently, and the cold aura faintly emanating from her body also completely disappeared with this soft whisper.

Tears could no longer be concealed, bursting forth from her eyes.

“Aunt Xia!” At this moment, Little Ling’er’s laughter also rang out. She then bounced and skipped over to Xia Zilin’s side, pulling the somewhat dazed latter along as they walked towards the distance with great understanding.

For a moment, only Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan, who was tightly embraced by him, remained here. At this moment, it was as if only these two people existed in this world. They were wordless for a long time.

About an hour later, Qin Yichen and Lu Linghan, whose face was flushed red, finally emerged from a room in the Qin Family Residence.

Accompanying her beloved, Lu Linghan was like a newly wedded young woman, her pretty face filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Qin Yichen also lovingly embraced Lu Linghan, enjoying their mutual tranquillity.

He owed her far too much.

He had not been a good Husband, nor was he a good Father.

“Father!” This moment of tranquillity was soon broken by Little Ling’er’s excited cry.

“Ling’er.” Qin Yichen used his other arm to embrace Little Ling’er as she flew towards him, his heart filled with satisfaction.

If not for the matter of Feng Qianxue weighing on his mind, he truly wanted to spend his entire life like this, staying together with them.

“Haha, Yichen, you’ve returned but didn’t even greet us!” Outside the courtyard, Lu Heze’s hearty voice also rang out, followed by the sound of many footsteps as familiar figures walked in from outside.

People like Lu Heze naturally already knew about what had happened in Twilight City.

Regarding Qin Yichen’s strength, they could only describe it with amazement.

Of course, this was because they did not know about what had occurred in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, otherwise they would have been even more astounded.

That level was beyond their current reach.

Qin Yichen felt there was no need to make them overly worried, so he did not elaborate much on what had happened in the Imperial Dynasty.

However, he did have an important conversation with Lu Heze.

It was about the Withered Frost Grass.

He had already given the Feng Family several Compound Pill Formulas.

Moreover, with his preparations to move the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce to Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, as the Compound Pills spread it would clear the existence of the Withered Frost Grass would no longer be a secret.

In the future, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, which was rich in Withered Frost Grass, would face an upheaval.

With Qin Yichen’s current strength, he definitely could not protect the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. Even the Feng Family might not be able to.

Qin Yichen still remembered that in the past, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty had been a contested territory for many Forces. Forces like the Feng Family and the Six Imperial Dynasties all had footholds on the land.

However, these were only footholds, nothing more.

This showed how fierce the competition was.

Therefore, there was only one solution: concealment!

Fortunately, not many people currently knew that their Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was rich in Withered Frost Grass. Even in the Great Prosperity Grand Empire, very few people knew.

When word had spread initially, it was because large quantities of Withered Frost Grass had flowed out from the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, which was why those Forces had taken notice.

Therefore, as long as the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty did not sell Withered Frost Grass externally, it could be well concealed.

Lu Heze also understood the seriousness of the matter and naturally complied, strictly sealing off the area where Withered Frost Grass was cultivated.

After staying in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty for a few days and having arranged most matters, bidding farewell to his Parents and Grandfather, Qin Yichen took Lu Linghan and Little Ling’er and headed straight for Twilight City.

The matter of Feng Qianxue would eventually be known to Lu Linghan. This time, Qin Yichen did not intend to conceal his feelings.

During these few days, Ye Liangchen had also been extremely busy. Having finally arranged the affairs of Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, he was now leisurely lying in a courtyard in Twilight City with Zhao Ritian.

“Ritian, look how beautiful this scenery is!” Ye Liangchen squinted his eyes. If not for the sound he made, one might truly wonder if he had fallen asleep.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ritian glanced at the golden sunset. It was indeed beautiful, but this Fatty seemed to have nothing to do with such matters. In fact, one could say that his face ruins it.

“Fatty, speak plainly if you have something to say. Or shut up if you don’t. Stop beating around the bush with me!” Zhao Ritian could not be bothered to play riddles with him and impatiently scolded.

Regarding Zhao Ritian’s attitude, Ye Liangchen showed no anger. Of course, this had changed since Zhao Ritian had broken through to become a Human Grade Alchemy Master, and he was no longer a match for him.

“Look at all that golden colour. Doesn’t it look like gold coins are beckoning to me?” Ye Liangchen stretched out his arms in an embracing gesture, completely intoxicated.

“Idiot!” In response, Zhao Ritian kicked the former and spat out two words, summarising this Fatty who had fallen back into his greedy self again.

“Who are you referring to?” Whether it was his beautiful dream being kicked away or the latter’s repeated words that had provoked him, as the earth trembled, Ye Liangchen suddenly stood up.

“You. What about it?” Regarding Ye Liangchen’s reaction, Zhao Ritian showed no surprise. He squinted his eyes and made a highly provocative gesture.

“I’ll make sure you are nothing but a corpse!” Without another word, Ye Liangchen swung a punch. However, as it approached Zhao Ritian’s face, with the appearance of a subtle fluctuation, this fist suddenly changed to a palm, gently resting on the latter’s shoulder.

“En, you need to use a bit more strength.” Zhao Ritian was extremely satisfied with Ye Liangchen’s Technique. After quite some time, that subtle fluctuation finally dissipated, and Ye Liangchen reluctantly withdrew his hand, walking outside with a trace of anger.
