Of course, there was sothing a little strange in the way the surrounding female cultivators of the Liu Ying Clan were looking at Ling Changqing.
It was only because of the reserved and demure manner befitting well-bred ladies of a Noble Family that they didn't show it too obviously.
But that didn't an they were harmless. In private, they wouldn't show the slightest hesitation in tearing off Ling Changqing's clothes.
Liu Ying ng Luan felt a touch of regret. 'Young Miss Bingchan is still holding back a little, her behavior is a bit too reserved. I'll have to persuade her in private.'
'She mustn't forget, there are still many unmarried won within the clan. There's no shortage of outstanding, peerless beauties among them, flawless in every respect.'
'If the Young Miss doesn't seize this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to establish a special relationship with Ling Changqing, she'll face far too much competition when this Child of Destiny returns to his own clan.'
After a mont of deliberation, Liu Ying ng Luan decided to get straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Ling, I seem to recall... that Dao Companion the Dragon Race arranged for you, she's at the Golden Core Peak, isn't she?"
Ling Changqing glanced at her, slightly surprised, and nodded.
"Yes, but she recently underwent a Thunder Tribulation Baptism in the Dragon Transformation Pool. She's a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying ng Luan's expression changed slightly. 'The woman from the Dragon Race betrothed to Ling Changqing is a Nascent Soul True Monarch... Doesn't that put the Liu Ying Clan at a disadvantage?'
'Of course, the Liu Ying Clan has plenty of powerhouses. There are even a few unmarried Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and the Patriarch himself is at the Late stage Nascent Soul realm.'
'But in that case, how much benefit can the Young Miss really expect to gain?'
'After this training expedition is over, Liu Ying Bingchan should be able to advance to Golden Core Master, but that's obviously not enough.'
"Don't overthink it,"
Ling Changqing said calmly, "Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Human Race can't necessarily match the combat power of a Dragon Race expert of the sa realm, can they?"
In other words, anyone from the Liu Ying Clan who tried to get their hands on Ling Changqing would have to face not only the wrath of Luo Qingxuan, but also the even more unfathomable Queen Bai Qingyi.
Instead of celebrating a wedding, they would end up holding a funeral.
Liu Ying Bingchan suddenly looked up and said, "If that's the case, the Patriarch can ask our secluded Old Ancestor to step in. We will absolutely not put you in a difficult position, Young Master Ling."
She looked Ling Changqing directly in the eye, completely unafraid, and said softly,
"As long as you agree to beco my Dao Companion, Young Master Ling, I can introduce you to all the sisters of my branch of the family. You can have anyone you take a liking to!"
'Since we can't compete on quality, we'll have to compete on quantity. If we gather enough sisters and form an alliance, surely we can hold on to this Child of Destiny, right?'
Such was Liu Ying Bingchan's current plan. Beside her, Liu Ying ng Luan pondered for a mont and thought it was a good idea as well.
'Besides the female cultivators present, there are plenty of other sisters in the clan who didn't participate in the Dragon Soul Valley expedition. There are Golden Core and Foundation Establishnt cultivators among them. We can call them all over for Ling Changqing to see.'
"...Young Master Ling, what do you think?"
Liu Ying ng Luan looked at him, her eyes beaming with a smile. "If you are interested, I can arrange them all in their rooms. You can go and... chat with them. Whoever you take a fancy to can stay. How does that sound?"
As soon as she said this, all the surrounding female cultivators blushed, yet their eyes remained fixed eagerly on the handso, purple-robed young man.
Ling Changqing sighed internally. 'Who could possibly withstand this kind of temptation?'
'Then again, I'm quite tempted to challenge my own weakness...'
