《Heavenly Will》Chapter 15 - A Mighty Slap To The Face
Advertisement
Qing Yun looked at Xiao Zhi with cold eyes. This fellow was indeed to displeasing to the eye, he was a fine example of a young master who didn’t see the world. The yang energy inside his body was in disorder, it was clear that he indulged in to many carnal pleasures. Therefore even his cultivation was a mess, although he was already over twenty he was just at the 5th layer of Houtian Realm.
“Ke, this guy actually dares to be so rampant before reaching Xiantian? This is practically trowing away his future. Hehe, from the looks of it he won’t be able to enjoy a woman’s touch for too long.”
Qing Yun mocked in his mind but he couldn’t help but feel a little pity for this guy, although it was only a little. The Qi Refining realm and Houtian realm were the most important for a martial practitioner to build their cultivation base. With a sturdy foundation, even if one wasn’t a genius they would still be able to achieve greatness.
But for Xiao Zhi this foundation was practically nonexistent. This fact left Qing Yun speechless, although it wasn’t wise to have too many joyous encounters before reaching Xiantian, no one paid too much attention this fact, there was no reason to. Even if one did the deed several times a week for a year it wouldn’t be a problem.
Qing Yun sighed helplessly, “How unrestrained must you be to reach such a state, and how come no one warned this guy, there aren’t any good doctors around here?!” Qing Yun was baffled. Was this guy an idiot or he just didn’t care? Although he pondered on this for a brief moment, upon looking at Xiao Zhi’s face he just shook his head, “This guy is definitely an idiot!”
Just then, a sweet scent passed through Qing Yun nose. It was very faint so one could register it, but how could Qing Yun miss it. As a doctor his sense of smell was at a complete different level from those people.
Qing Yun expression darkened, there was a hidden killing intent in his eyes. Even the last bit of pity he felt for this guy disappeared. It seems he didn’t end up in this state just by visiting courtesans.
“Brat, who the hell are you? You actually dare to interfere in this young master business? It seems you don’t value your life!” Xiao Zhi scowled as he glared at Qing Yun.
“This brother, we’re really sorry but we have an urgent matter to attend so we can keep brother’s company.” Qing Yun said politely while rubbing his palms together.
“Hehe,” Xiao Zhi snickered at this sight of Qing Yun. He didn’t even try to hide the contempt in his eyes.
One has to say, Qing Yun’s understanding of this guy couldn’t be more accurate. A pampered young master who thinks that everyone in this world would kneel before him thanks to the power of his clan.

Seeing Qing Yun meek appearance, Xiao Zhi confidence was boosted by who knows how many folds. That’s right, with Xiao Clan at his back who would dare to slight him in this Tianlong City.
“Brat, if you know what’s good for you, don’t stand in front of this young master!” Xiao Zhi had a haughty and arrogant expression in his eyes, as if looking down on the world was completely natural for him, like it was his right to do so. Qing Yun wanted to laugh when he saw him, this idiot didn’t even know that his precious lower part won’t function for much longer.
“Tsk tsk,” Qing Yun clicked his tongue, his tone and expression changed to one of pure ridicule while looking at Xiao Zhi, “The second young master of Xiao Clan is merely so, I never thought that a young master from the prominent Xiao Clan would be such a cheap bastard, you actually dare to seek the favor of a lady with that third-rate pendant!”
“You... you.. what did you say?!” Xiao Zhi was angered to the point of stuttering. He belonged to one of the 4 great clans in Tianlong City, he was the second young master of the Xiao Clan, he had never been spoken to like this before.
The meaning behind Qing Yun’s words were very clear, it was as if he wanted to infuriate Xiao Zhi on purpose.
Looking at how Xiao Zhi acted and his low level of tolerance, Qing Yun was filled with disdain. Xiao Zhi was just another useless spoiled brat from a large clan who did not know how high the heavens were. If he went out to adventure in the outside world on his own, he would inevitably offend someone he shouldn’t offend and invite misfortune on himself.
Turning his head, Qing Yun looked at Qing Su. The worry on her face was still present, there was a faint layer of Qi that covered her hands. It seems she was ready to go on a rampage if someone tried to hurt Qing Yun.
At this sight of her, Qing Yun could just laugh bitterly. He was sure that this seemingly delicate young lady wouldn’t even blink an eye before trashing those guys. With her power it was just a trivial matter, and she certainly wasn’t as frail and naive as she appeared. Although her beauty could be said to be one in a thousands years, what charmed Qing Yun even more was her graceful demeanor. There was beauty and elegance layered with an indistinct pride in the way she carried herself. She was blessed with beauty, intelligence and talent but she wasn’t arrogant. This kind of demeanor was not something to be found in a small clan like Qing Clan. Qing Yun even thought that Qing Yin and Qing Su weren’t from this clan originally.
Qing Yun shook his head and faced Xiao Zhi again. Xiao Zhi’s face was already green and the veins on his forehead seemed about to burst.

“Brat, I dare you say that again, see if I trash you in front of those people!” Xiao Zhi’s voice was filled with furry, even his body convulsed exaggerated. This brat actually dared to embarrass him, the second young master of Xiao Clan, in front of those people and Qing Su. How could he not be enraged?
This sight left Qing Yun speechless, although his previous words were infuriating, this guy’s reaction was to exaggerated, no?
Qing Yun coldly smiled, “What, are your ears deaf? Where did you even get that trash anyway, from the way I see it it’s not even worth five thousands silver. It’s one thing to buy it, but to actually dare to present it to a lady, how thick can your skin be!” Qing Yun voice was full of ridicule.
Xiao Zhi’s face became distorted. He glared at Qing Yun as if he was about to bite him to death any moment.
The onlookers were speechless at Qing Yun’s words. Not even worth five thousands silver? How can this kid speak about such a huge sum like it was just some change? Five thousand silver was equal to five gold. An ordinary family’s income is just around three gold a year, even those mercenary groups who hunt magical beasts would win just ten to fifteen gold a year. Of course it was one thing for clans and sects, even so five gold was still a huge sum in this Tianlong City.
Many of them thought that Qing Yun was just spouting empty words just to infuriate Xiao Zhi, but they didn’t even had time to finish that thought before Qing Yun following action left everyone stunned.
Without waiting for Xiao Zhi’s words, Qing Yun waved his hand, a silver light flashed before an exquisite light-blue necklace appeared in his hand. When the necklace appeared, a cooling aura accompanied by a bewitching fragrance, spread throughout the surroundings. The cooling aura made one’s heart feel at peace while the sweet fragrance invaded one’s very soul giving off a new-born feeling.
Silence. Everyone wore stunned expressions as they stared at Qing Yun. When the cooling aura accompanied by the sweet fragrance passed some people seemed so have entered a contemplation state, of course there were just around a dozen or so people that appeared to have gained something. Most of them were stunned because of Qing Yun action, there was the light-blue necklace that was obviously far from ordinary but right now they were more astounded by how this necklace appeared out of nowhere.
It didn’t take long for every one’s eyes to wonder on Qing Yun’s middle finger. There was a seemingly ordinary looking silver ring placed on it.
The silence lasted for a few moments before it was broke by someone inhaling a deep breath of air.
“That.. isn’t that a interspatial ring?”
“What, how can it be possible for this youth to posses such a treasure?”
“Ignorant fool, do you think that necklace came out of thin air? It’s obvious that that kid took it out from his interspatial ring!”
“That..”
“How come this kid has such a treasure? In this Tianlong City just some clan heads are in possession of one!”
“This kid’s background it’s not ordinary, to give something so precious to the young generation, who has such extravagance?”
“Ignorant bunch!” One of the people who seemed have entered a state of contemplation earlier finally spoke, “You don’t even realize what is the true treasure!”
“What did you said old man? Are you looking for a beating?!”
“Hehe, this old man has been stuck in this realm for years now, but thanks to the aura exuded by that necklace the old me can finally see the light of a breakthrough!”
“What, that necklace has such a heavenly effect, how is that possible? If it’s true, can you even out a price on such a heavenly item?”
“Who exactly is this youth? First the interspatial ring an now he took out such a heavenly item!”
Astounded discussions broke down everywhere, but this was the reaction expected by Qing Yun. He just smiled and turned towards Qing Su.
At this moment the most stunned people here were Qing Su and Su Fen. They were the ones who should know Qing Yun the best but right now even they felt as if they were looking at a stranger. They were the only people present here who knew that it was impossible for Qing Yun to posses an interspatial ring or to take out that necklace. But now that impossible happened in front of them how can they not be astounded?
Seeing their stunned expressions, Qing Yun let out a chuckle, “Little Su, your big brother is unworthy, all those years I never gifted you anything, I hope you can accept this meager gift and forgive this unworthy big brother of yours.” Qing Yun tone contained some self-blame.
Those word made everyone jaws drop down. A meager gift? Meager? What is this little bastard talking about? How does that even resemble something meager. Is this guy that humble or is he trying to show of?
Of course those people were smart so they didn’t really believed that. How could they not see what Qing Yun was doing. All he did was in spite of Xiao Zhi.
A slap to the face! This was a mighty slap to the face!

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.
