I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 451 - 283: Weapon Master, New Divine Soldier_4

Reaching out to pull the Purple Dragon Essence Wood Spear from the ground, Qin Yuesheng immediately felt its weight in his hand; though the shaft was crafted from Elder Huai’s fine wood, it was still quite hefty.

In this way, Qin Yuesheng now possessed five Divine Soldiers, making significant progress towards wielding one in each of his eight arms.

After swinging it a few times to get accustomed to the feel, Qin Yuesheng then held the Purple Dragon Essence Wood Spear upside down and said to Wang Dachui, "You did well this time. Although this Divine Soldier wasn’t forged by your own hand, a reward is still in order."

Qin Yuesheng casually took out several silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Wang Dachui, "Spread them around among everyone, don’t be too stingy. You take the lion’s share."

Wang Dachui grasped the silver notes with delight, "Thank you, young master, thank you so much."

Having contracted Qin family’s blacksmith shop and brought apprentices to work, he wouldn’t have earned so much even if he labored tirelessly for a year. Qin Yuesheng’s generosity allowed Wang Dachui to celebrate the New Year in advance.

Picking up the Purple Dragon Essence Wood Spear, Qin Yuesheng left the place with Bai Ningxuan.

...

Having not returned to the Qin Mansion for a long time, Qin Yuesheng arrived bringing with him a tall woman. Even though Qin Yuesheng had already adjusted his appearance with a disguise spell, his return still caused quite a stir within the Qin Mansion.

After all, the charm was evident to all; sometimes being too handsome is simply unavoidable.

The young maidservants of the Qin Mansion sneaked peeks at Qin Yuesheng along the path, their eyes spinning like wind-up toys, faces flushed with excitement, whispering among themselves.

"You wait in my room, I have matters to tend to. Once I’m done, I’ll come for you." Passing through the central hall, Qin Yuesheng spoke to Bai Ningxuan.

"I’m quite quiet, why not let me follow?" Bai Ningxuan tried to haggle.

Qin Yuesheng decisively shook his head; after visiting his parents, he still planned to see the little girl Su Lanyin at the Su Mansion. He couldn’t let Bai Ningxuan, who blurts out all sorts of embarrassing words, tag along, lest she be overheard by Su Lanyin, which would definitely cause trouble.

Two women are bound to be troublesome, and Qin Yuesheng preferred not to invite trouble upon himself.

Fortunately, Bai Ningxuan was quite obedient. Qin Yuesheng summoned a maid, instructing her to accompany Bai Ningxuan to his residence for a rest, making sure to entertain this guest well.

After attending to Bai Ningxuan’s matters, Qin Yuesheng immediately had another maid lead him to find Qin Feng.

...

The back garden.

On a stone table etched with a chessboard, Qin Feng was seated opposite the Lu family patriarch, playing chess.

By the time Qin Yuesheng arrived, thirty moves had already been played.

"Dad, playing chess?" Qin Yuesheng laughed as he plopped onto a stone chair beside them.

"Yuesheng’s back." Qin Feng felt immediate joy seeing his sole child return from wandering outside for days; he relaxed his grip on the chess piece container.

Qin Yuesheng pinched a black piece from Qin Feng and casually placed it on an empty spot on the board.

"Uncle Lu looks good." Qin Yuesheng greeted the Lu family patriarch.

He used to play well with the Lu family son, and thus was familiar with the Lu family patriarch.

"Still alright. Qin old brother, your Yuesheng grows more handsome by the day; look at him, handsome enough for any young woman in Cyan Yang City to want him for a husband. Your boy won’t worry about finding a bride."

Qin Feng chuckled, "He takes after me, takes after me."

"The Su family daughter has recently been betrothed to that Du family lad. The union between these two families will surely be a lively affair for Cyan Yang City." The Lu family patriarch casually remarked as he placed a white piece.

Qin Yuesheng’s thoughts stirred, "Uncle Lu, could you be speaking of Su Qiaoqiao and Du Tankang?"

"Correct, it’s those two kids."

Qin Yuesheng’s face unknowingly held a smile, quite genuine.

Before Du Tankang managed Nanyan Treasure Studio, he was one of Qin Yuesheng’s few friends, and Su Qiaoqiao is Su Lanyin’s older sister, already having feelings for Du Tankang.

Knowing that the people he knew were finally to marry filled Qin Yuesheng’s heart with sincere joy.

Even though Qin Yuesheng now possessed Seventh Layer of the Internal Power Realm strength, even though he was a Life Star person, even though his collection of divine skills and soldiers exceeded others.

Yet Cyan Yang City remained his hometown; this place and its people were the ones he cherished and valued the most, a place of the purest feelings, free from treachery or scheming.

"Du Tankang is getting married; as a friend, I must give him a grand gift." Qin Yuesheng mused.

"Yuesheng, how long will you stay this time? Your stepmother went to burn incense at the Land God Temple in the southern city this morning. I’ll have them prepare your favorite dishes." Qin Feng inquired.

"Maybe two or three days. I’ll need to head out again later for some affairs. Dad, I have some matters, so I won’t disturb your game with Uncle Lu anymore." Qin Yuesheng stood up, promptly ran out of the courtyard.

"Your child has changed a lot; in two or three years, I might not even recognize him." The Lu family patriarch remarked.

"Boys change rapidly; it’s normal. Never mind, let’s continue our game."

...

Su Mansion.

Su Lanyin was clad in a tailored light blue outfit in the courtyard; with a wave of her hand, a whirlwind flew forth from her palm, immediately tearing every petal from a flower four steps away, leaving behind a lone stem.

"Ah! I did it!" Seeing this, Su Lanyin couldn’t contain her joy, jumping around like a delighted little rabbit.

Suddenly, a pair of hands emerged from her sides, gently encircling her soft waist, drawing her into a firm embrace.

Su Lanyin felt her back and head collide against a muscular chest—definitely not a maid’s.

Startled, she immediately swung backward towards the chin of the person behind her, planning to use the Seven Elements Creation Spell she learned to repel them.

"Ah!" Who knew the person was extremely agile, suddenly tilting their head away and lightly pressed their lips against Su Lanyin’s pale right cheek.

"Little beauty, you’re quite unreasonable; I’m merely giving you a hug, and you’re already plotting to attack your future husband. What’s there to gain from that?" Qin Yuesheng teased.

Thinking herself a victim of some rogue, Su Lanyin’s face turned pale until she recognized the familiar voice and the silhouette she dreamt of night and day. Her eyes immediately brimmed with tears, her nose reddened instantly, and her lips trembled. Tears helplessly streaked down her cheeks.

"Brother Yuesheng."

Turning to tightly clutch Qin Yuesheng’s waist, burying her head into his chest with an aggrieved whimpered call, her voice carried both sobs and a bit of a childish tone.

This petite sound was music to Qin Yuesheng’s ears, prompting him to gently stroke Su Lanyin’s back, comforting her softly, "It’s alright, I’m right here."

"I missed you so much." Su Lanyin whispered, planting a gentle kiss on Qin Yuesheng’s arm.

"Same here."

The two stood embracing for a while; for Su Lanyin, it was the happiest moment in the world.

However, Qin Yuesheng found the posture slightly awkward, due to Su Lanyin’s height; he couldn’t comfortably rest his chin on top of her head.

Thus, he gently pushed Su Lanyin away, grabbing her hand to roam the courtyard together.

Though Su Lanyin preferred the comforting embrace, giving her a profound sense of security, she felt too bashful to ask for it directly, choosing instead to follow Qin Yuesheng, gazing intently at his profile.

"Brother Yuesheng, you’ve grown even more handsome," Su Lanyin murmured softly, head tilted.

...

The Du family and Su family were set to host a grand wedding feast, naturally becoming the sensational news and joyful event of Cyan Yang City.

For these five prominent families’ celebration, the whole city revels; tables will fill the town, allowing every household to share in the joy. Such an affair poses no burden to their wealth.

Knowing that his venture to the Central Plains might keep him away for long, Qin Yuesheng decided to stay temporarily in Cyan Yang City, waiting for Du Tankang’s wedding to conclude before moving onward.

That evening, Du Beilun visited the Qin Mansion, having heard from Lu Juncheng that Qin Yuesheng had recently returned to Cyan Yang City.

Du Beilun and his brother wouldn’t miss this opportunity, planning a feast at the Yao Yu Building that night, reuniting with childhood friends to drink and play, indulging in a merry time.

Essentially, it served as Du Tankang’s last bachelor spree before marrying.
