Chapter 790: 777 Long Meng_1
"Chu Qin, what's wrong?" Bi Bidong, looking at Chu Qin's somewhat flustered expression, took his hand and asked, "You were just brimming with confidence."
"It's nothing, Dong'er!" Chu Qin, smiling at Bi Bidong, "Don't worry about me."
"Hmm..." Bi Bidong nodded.
"Boom!" After circling around the Pangu Statue for a week, their warship descended onto Mount Pangu.
"Brother Luo, you've arrived!" As the warship touched down, an old man with dragon horns on his head and a woman came to greet them.
The old man was none other than Long Wusheng, an Elder from the Ancient Family. The woman, appearing to be in her thirties and like Long Wusheng with two horns on her head, had ivory-white horns tinged with pale pink, exquisitely beautiful. Her beauty was equally sensational, and beneath her lustrous black hair was an incredibly gorgeous face.
Her pupils, too, were of that pale pinkish-white color, and on her long eyelashes were some scales of the same hue. Her nose and cherry-red lips were just perfect, without any flaws to see.
Above those delicate features, a light makeup was applied, adding an enchanting and captivating charm to her appearance.
Dressed in a pure white ancient robe, the enchanting curves beneath were intoxicating. Her crystal high-heeled shoes, matching her eyes, emphasized her tall and graceful figure vividly.
The woman exuded a feeling of refreshing beauty, as if a single glance could make one forget all the troubles of the world.
And her arrival was like a timely rain that diluted the anxiety that had just begun to bud in Chu Qin's heart.
This person was none other than the Young Master of the Qinglong Family, Long Wusheng's granddaughter, Long Meng.
"Dragon Brother, you're quite early!" Luo Gushen greeted Long Wusheng, "Eh? Little Meng is also here?"
"Grandfather Luo, long time no see." Long Meng smiled at Luo Gushen, her voice sounding like a sweet melody, enchanting and delightful.
"Elder Dragon, hello." At that moment, Chu Qin also went over to greet them.
"I am not worthy of such formality!" Long Wusheng immediately looked at Chu Qin and said, "Chu Qin, you are about to become the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family, how could I dare to accept a title of Elder from you!"
"Elder Dragon, I, Chu Qin, am not one to use strength to determine seniority. Yi Yi is my woman, and you and Yi Yi's grandfather are brothers. It is only right for me to address you as Elder," Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"Alright then, this old man will humbly accept it!" Long Wusheng then nodded his acknowledgment.
"Is he the supreme fighter mentioned by Grandfather, the one who's going to challenge the seven Great Elders today?" Long Meng's gaze immediately fell on Chu Qin, "He's so young!"
And at that moment, Chu Qin's eyes also rested on Long Meng, for he always had a feeling of déjà vu when he saw her.
"Chu Qin, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Long Meng. She has come specially to watch you challenge the seven Great Elders!" Long Wusheng said, pointing to Long Meng.
"Hello, Lord Chu Qin..." Hearing these words, Long Meng immediately extended her hand to Chu Qin.
"Hello, there's no need to call me Lord, just Chu Qin is fine." Chu Qin extended his hand and clasped it with Long Meng's!
"What a comfortable feeling!" This was the mutual thought of both Chu Qin and Long Meng.
Long Meng's skin was already as white as snow and delicate to the touch, naturally giving off a refreshing sensation. Chu Qin's skin, after having been refined by the Heavenly Tribulation and Divine Power, had long since become smooth as jade!
Unconsciously, both tightened their grip on each other's hands.
"Dong'er Sister, I feel..." Seeing Chu Qin and Long Meng's fingers tightly interlaced, Xiaowu whispered in Bi Bidong's ear.
"No need to feel!" Bi Bidong replied with a lovely smile.
Both Luo Gushen and Long Wusheng also wore amiable smiles. Luo Gushen thought that their two families were the closest amongst the Ancient Families; if they could get even closer through Chu Qin, wouldn't that be wonderful!
Long Wusheng thought that if the Qinglong Family could rely on the strong support of Chu Qin, it would be a huge stroke of fortune!
Hence, no one tried to intervene.
Chu Qin and Long Meng eventually let go of each other's hands, and Long Meng's cheeks turned slightly red. Chu Qin naturally shifted the topic and turned towards Luo Gushen and Long Wusheng, "By the way, Elder Luo, Elder Dragon, where will the competition be held today?"
"Right in front of Pangu Hall!" Long Wusheng said, "Lord Chu Qin, rest assured. Pangu Star is the critical point of the entire Pangu Great Array, and Mount Pangu is the very center of that critical point. No matter how big a storm you stir up, it will have no impact whatsoever on Mount Pangu and Pangu Star."
"Hmm, then I'm relieved." Chu Qin nodded and gave a glance with a smile at Long Meng, before he proceeded towards Pangu Great Hall.
Outside Pangu Great Hall, there was an enormous square that could fit around three million people. At this moment, the outskirts of the square were packed to the brim.
"I heard today, someone is going to challenge the seven Great Elders of Elder Hall one-on-one!"
"Impossible, who has the audacity to do such a thing?"
"Don't you know? This person is no ordinary man, a Xuan Mo who even the Pirate Empress herself couldn't handle!"
"How did I hear that he took advantage of the situation, just happening upon Xuan Mo and a Primordial Fierce Beast battling, picking up an easy victory?"
"Regardless, he's no ordinary person! Today, on Ancestral Emperor Pangu's birthday, things will definitely not be the same as before!"
...
Passing through the special passage for Elders and crossing the square, Long Wusheng and Luo Gushen, both took their seats in the Elder's area.
Chu Qin and all the ladies stood aside.
At this time, Elders like Sheng Lai and Ru Tian were all fixing their gazes on Chu Qin with looks full of ruthlessness, disdain, and incomprehension.
"Lord Chu Qin, why are those old folks staring at you all the time?" Xiaowu, looking at Sheng Lai, Ru Tian, and others, said somewhat angrily.
"Let them look!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "Your man is so handsome, what's to fear from people's gazes?"
Xiaowu nodded, but she was still slightly resentful. She made a face at the Elders and then pointed to her beautiful eyes, mimicking the motion of 'keep looking and I'll dig out your eyes.'
All the Elders simultaneously showed a look of disgust.
And at that moment, the doors of Pangu Great Hall slowly opened!
"The Pirate Empress is coming out!"
"Welcoming the Pirate Empress!"
The instant the doors swung open, at the scene, a million people simultaneously knelt toward the direction of Pangu Hall, bowing respectfully.
Their presence was like the splitting of stars!
Amidst the cheers of the multitude, the Pangu Empress flew out seated on a lotus.
The Pangu Empress today looked even more magnificent and imposing. She was seated on a golden lotus, dressed in a golden Dragon Robe, with a crown atop her head.
Today, the Pirate Empress was without her veil, revealing her perfect beauty to everyone present. She was a natural stunner, a beauty capable of overthrowing cities. Her skin was white and luminous, free of any flaw, like a peerless masterpiece just out of the kiln, making people afraid to even touch her, for fear of leaving behind the slightest impurity to ruin the most exquisite painting in the world.
However, even then, her eyes were cold and deep, giving one the feeling that they dare not look at her directly!
"The Pirate Empress actually isn't wearing a veil today!"
"I've grown so old, and finally, I get to see the true face of the Pirate Empress. I can die without regrets now."
"The gaze of the Pirate Empress makes one dare not look directly at her!"
Not only them, but even the older powerhouses dared not look too much, fearing the arousal of inappropriate thoughts.
Chu Qin, however, didn't feel this way at all; what was there not to look at when it came to his own wife?
At that moment, the voice of the Pangu Empress resounded, "Everyone, please stand up."
Her voice was simply too melodious, caressing one's eardrums, giving a feeling as if bathed in a gentle spring breeze. Her tone was already tender enough, but the sense of majesty seemed to be carved into the very sound, making it irresistible.
