《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 1102 – A Normal Man
Advertisement
Cloud Boundless had a gratified expression. As expected, Cloud Billow was indeed worthy of being the one he chose. Even though he encountered such a bitter experience, he still didn’t lose his reasoning. If it weren’t for that thing…then what could the ancient King’s lineage and the new faction be considered as? They would have no chance of competing for the throne of the new King!
“Cloud Billow, I have already considered what you speak about. We can only endure today’s anger first!
“Hehe, but things won’t end like this. Since they were the ones that decided not to abide by the rules first, I won’t be polite either!”
He sneered coldly, and each word he spoke was filled with a dense killing intent.
As one of the strongest Clan Elders of the old King’s lineage, his strength nearly supported the entire family on his back. How could he be some weak or softhearted person?
Because of his change in status, Cloud Boundless had remained low key for all these past years. This caused many people to forget that he was once called Blood Carnage!
He looked at Cloud Billow and hesitated for a moment, “Who was the one that helped you in Nine Nether Pagoda?”
Although the three black-robed demons had died without anything left over, according to the post-scene investigation, they could approximately theorize what had happened.
And everyone was well aware of Cloud Billow’s condition. His bloodline had been completely restricted and he wasn’t able to summon any strength at all. It was impossible for him to have killed three powerful enemies while remaining fine.
The Nightmare Clan had already approached Cloud Billow with this question, but had only been given a perfunctory answer. At that time, Cloud Boundless was also there. The reason he asked this question again was because he wanted to get the truth from Cloud Billow.
Cloud Billow’s eyes flashed with hesitation. He pursed his lips together and slowly said, “It was Qin Yu…his strength is far greater than you believe.”
He looked up and stared at Cloud Boundless, continuing to say, “I promised him that I wouldn’t tell anyone about this. The reason I told Clan Elder is because I don’t want to hide the truth from you and because I also believe you won’t do anything that would harm Qin Yu. So, please keep this a secret.”
Cloud Boundless’ eyes brightened as he looked at Cloud Billow. He smiled and said, “So it was that boy. Before you spoke, I already guessed it was him…hehe, don’t worry, he was a treasure to begin with, but now I cherish him even more. I would never harm him.”

Three Demon Commanders had died beneath Qin Yu’s hand. This boy’s strength wasn’t ordinary.
But what left Cloud Boundless even more pleasantly surprised was that Cloud Billow’s attitude seemed to have undergone some joyful change.
Strictly speaking, this was the most important issue to the old King’s lineage right now. If he found the right opportunity, he could divulge the truth to Qin Yu.
As for whether or not Qin Yu would agree? Hoho, when it came to this, Cloud Boundless never felt any worries!
Even if Qin Yu refused, were they supposed to accept that? How naïve!
If a cow didn’t drink water, a person could press them down and force them to. Once they drank more and more, they would eventually get used to it.
If they wouldn’t get used to it? They would continue forcing them to until they got used to it.
Cloud Boundless was all smiles. He believed he could become a qualified farmer who raised cows near the river.
As he thought this, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. He wished he could capture that brat Qin Yu and tie him up.
As Cloud Billow lay in bed, he seemed to sense Cloud Boundless’ thoughts. He took a deep breath and slowly said, “Clan Elder, concerning this matter, I hope to personally speak to Qin Yu about it. Please don’t interfere.”
Cloud Boundless furrowed his eyebrows. Looking down, he hesitated. For other matters it would be fine, but when it concerned the future of the family, he couldn’t help but be cautious.
Cloud Billow said this…but for some reason he didn’t believe he was too reliable…if things dragged on for too long, who knew what would happen?
It was better to catch that person and get them in hand first.
As for feelings…those things could be slowly raised and nurtured. Moreover, if things went as Cloud Boundless hoped, Qin Yu would take a big advantage no matter how he looked at it. Would he still be dissatisfied?
Realizing his hesitation, Cloud Billow’s expression became even more dignified. “Clan Elder, I guarantee that I will explain this matter to him as soon as possible. Please give me some more time.”
Emphasizing this a second time was enough to indicate how much he regarded this matter.
Cloud Boundless stretched out a finger. “Three days. I will give you three days. If you don’t say anything by then, I will do it for you!”
Cloud Billow was speechless, but he also knew how anxious the Clan Elder was about this. Giving three days of leeway was already the limit.

“Very well. I promise you.”
Cloud Boundless smiled. “Good, then you should rest first. I am going to argue with those people at the Clan Elder Assembly some more. Since you have been wronged, you have to cry out. The louder and more pitiful you seem the more sympathy you’ll get. Even though we can’t strangle whoever was behind the scenes of this to death, we still can’t let ourselves suffer a loss.”
Cloud Boundless turned and walked out. When he stepped out of the room, his smile had vanished, replaced with a cold and callous look, like frost on a winter night. It could even be described as indignant and full of dreadful anger. He quickly hurried away.
Since he was going to act in a play, he had to commit to it. No matter what he did, he had to do it to the highest possible standards. He could not be careless about anything.
Although he was in Bluetile Courtyard right now, he’d had far too many dealings with those old things from the Clan Elder Assembly. Anyone who underestimated them would be in for a round of bad luck.
Seeing the door close, Cloud Billow smiled bitterly. But, the emotions in his eyes gradually calmed down.
Qin Yu’s figure, blocking the snake poison in front of him, appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
Perhaps this was destiny – it was him!
…
Cloud Billow was the future wielder of authority pushed by the old King’s lineage. He was a candidate to compete for the new King’s throne and his status was limitlessly honored.
But he was actually a she. When Qin Yu discovered this, he couldn’t stand still.
It was because of this that after the three black-robed demons committed suicide he had to hurry and leave. He feared he would reveal an abnormal expression.
Because she wasn’t unfamiliar to him. To be exact, they had some close contact before.
That’s right, after Qin Yu carefully thought over it, he could determine that Cloud Billow was the same woman he encountered on the eighth level of Nine Nether Pagoda!
Although she revealed a perfectly male state, after her bloodline was sealed by the restriction spell she was no longer able to conceal her aura. Qin Yu was able to feel incomparably familiar demonic energy fluctuations coming from her body.
Incomparably similar strengths that came from the same source might exist, but it was impossible for them to be the exact same.
Unless this strength came from the same person!
In order to save that wicked girl, Qin Yu had extracted a portion of her demonic energy. This was the best and strongest evidence – their demonic energy fluctuations were the exact same!
The successor pushed forth by the old King’s lineage, the candidate for the competition of the new King’s throne, was a woman? Hoho, this was the world’s greatest surprise!
The Nightmare Clan had never had a female King ascend to the throne. This wasn’t an issue of talent or bloodline, but because they only allowed males to inherit the throne.
Not all abyssal tribes were like this – it was a special rule of the Nightmare Clan. Of course, there were other similar abyssal tribes that only allowed females to ascend the throne. This was a well-known matter.
But this wasn’t the key.
The key was that the old King’s lineage had pushed forth a woman.
If this matter were exposed, it could be expected that the prestige of the old King’s lineage would sweep the floor and their influence would instantly collapse.
A woman that could never inherit the throne of the new King, how was she worth following?
Qin Yu faintly understood why the three black-robed demons at Nine Nether Pagoda didn’t brutally murder Cloud Billow but decided to suppress her and take her away.
They likely wanted to publicly reveal her status and then unleash an annihilating attack against the entire old King’s lineage.
It seemed that he had ruined something extremely important. Those people who spent so much painstaking effort on this plan must hate him to their bones.
Moreover, if the old King’s lineage that he inadvertently saved knew he was aware of this secret that they tried so hard to hide, they would be worried, right?
As for eliminating any worries, the simplest and most effective way was to make him vanish forever.
Qin Yu immediately thought back to that old thing Cloud Boundless and his laughing visage.
He rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly feeling depressed and helpless, as if there was nowhere he could turn to for assistance.
However, that didn’t mean there weren’t any harvests.
At the very least, Qin Yu had determined something. In terms of his sexual orientation, he was an average straight man.
This was an extremely, extremely important point!

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel) V2.
Andrew William. A perfectly average boring name for a perfectly average and boring boy. He wasn't particularly smart nor gifted. Not in academics nor in sports. He wasn't even as good as the other losers and "nerds" in his school. He could not remember the expansive lore of Star Wars, he could not recite the dialogue of Startek nor pull off any cool one-liners and quotes, and he couldn't beat the final level in most games without resorting to cheating or mods. All he had was half-assed knowledge of pop culture and comics, but the one thing he was good at, his one and only pride and calling in life? Making Youtube videos. No, it wasn't sad! He was actually quite popular, honest! He made videos of adventure and nature, although it was mostly of the creepy variety. Abandoned hospitals, old mines, long tunnels, and undiscovered caverns. And as ironic as it was predictable, it would, of course, turn out to be the reason that he died. Well, at least he could take comfort in dying doing what he loved, not many people these days could say the same, you know? The concept comforted him at least, but it turns out death is not always as permanent as people liked to think, because Andrew somehow found himself in New York City of all places after falling to his certain death in the Devil's hole, Death Valley Nevada., only thing was it certainly wasn't the New York that he knew of. The Fantastic Four? Stark Industry? Captain America's biography? Oh boy, and did he mention he's no longer human? His Asian friends had introduced him to the wonders of Isekai novels and mangas, but isn't the order a little messed up? Where's his meeting with the sexy and nice Goddess? Where was his intro or tutorial?? Explanation plz I'm a noob at cross-dimensional travel! Help? Setting? Menu? Status? May I please get to pick my own cheat power? No? I'm stuck as a virus? Well, At least the Prototype Virus was pretty darn cool and OP. Just not as op as being able to casually break the sound barrier in my sneakers or bench pressing the earth, but I'll just have to make do. Please don't be some fucked up Marvel continuity where Nazis and Hydra won or some shit. Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore

She labeled both of them as Humanity's Traitors and sends them into a dungeon where they were supposed to live. That is, with their masters and comrades, the Devils and their minions. The monsters in the dungeon were not likely to accept them as allies, instead, they were out to devour the delicacies that appeared in their home. Only despair awaited them. ---------------------------------------------------------- This novel is inspired from Neets's parallel world syndrome, Abnormal state skill and bunch of other jp novels, this is also my first time writing a web novel.
