Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Chapter 9 An Unexpected Encounter and the Beginning of Romance

After mastering the art of flying on a sword, Hua Qiangu felt exceptionally relaxed. One day, she found a quiet pond, intending to take a good bath there and relax her mind and body.

Humming a little tune, she took off her clothes and slowly stepped into the clear pond. The warm water enveloped her body, making her sigh softly in comfort.

"Oh, this feels so great! I haven't felt this comfortable in ages! Humph!" Hua Qiangu muttered to herself, a contented smile spreading across her face.

Just as Hua Qiangu was enjoying this rare moment of relaxation, Dongfang Yuqing hummed an unknown tune and swayed towards the pond carrying a bucket. He had come here to fetch water, never expecting to stumble upon such a scene.

When Dongfang Yuqing reached the edge of the pond, he looked up and his eyes widened in shock; he froze on the spot. In the pond, Hua Qiangu's naked body was faintly visible in the water, the misty vapor adding to its ethereal beauty.

Dongfang Yuqing's face flushed bright red instantly. He quickly turned his head away and stammered, "This... what should I do! I... I actually saw the young lady in such a state, oh dear, what a sin! What a sin!"

Hearing the sound, Hua Qiangu was startled and instinctively shrank back into the water, shouting in a panic, "Who? Who's there? Don't look!"

Dongfang Yuqing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. With his back to the pond, he said, "Miss, please don't be afraid. My name is Dongfang Yuqing. I came here to fetch water, but I never expected... I never expected to offend you. I deserve to die!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu felt both ashamed and angry. She huffed and puffed, "You...you still said you wouldn't mention it again! Humph, you'd better leave now, you're not allowed to stay here anymore!"

Dongfang Yuqing stood still, frowning and saying seriously, "Miss, this is no small matter! Since I have seen your virginity, I have ruined it. I must take full responsibility and marry you! This is a must!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "What? Marry me? Are you out of your mind? Humph, I don't even know you, why should I marry you? Get out of here, stop talking nonsense!"

Dongfang Yuqing quickly explained, "Miss, this is a huge matter in my eyes! Although I, Dongfang Yuqing, dare not call myself a gentleman, I absolutely cannot do something that would ruin someone's reputation and then shirk responsibility! Miss, please agree to my proposal, and I will definitely treat you well!"

Hua Qiangu stamped her feet anxiously in the water, splashing water everywhere. She shouted, "I don't want to! Go away! I don't want to marry someone I don't even know! This is so annoying!"

Seeing Hua Qiangu's firm refusal, Dongfang Yuqing felt a little disappointed, but he still said persistently, "Miss, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Let's get to know each other first. Maybe after we get to know each other, you'll be willing to marry me! You see, isn't that a kind of fate? Oh, please give me a chance!"

Hearing him say that, Hua Qiangu calmed down a little. She said irritably, "Fine, then turn around first. I'll get dressed and we'll talk later!"

Dongfang Yuqing quickly replied, "Okay, miss, I'll turn around right away and I promise I won't peek!" With that, he obediently turned around, his back to the pond, but in his heart he was thinking, "This girl is really something else, but I like her just the way she is. Hehe, I must find a way to make her marry me!"

After a while, Hua Qiangu got dressed and came out of the pond. She walked up to Dongfang Yuqing, looked him up and down, and said, "Hmph, now you can tell me who you are. Also, why did you come here to fetch water?"

Dongfang Yuqing looked at Hua Qiangu with a smile and said, "Miss, as I just said, my name is Dongfang Yuqing. I came here to fetch water because I live nearby and rely on the water from this pond for my daily life. And you, who are you?"

Hua Qiangu crossed her arms and said, "My name is Hua Qiangu, and I'm a disciple of Changliu Mountain! Humph, I just wanted to come here to take a bath today, who knew I'd run into someone like you..."

Upon hearing the name "Hua Qiangu," Dongfang Yuqing's eyes lit up immediately. He exclaimed with delight, "Oh my, so you're Hua Qiangu! I've heard of a girl named Hua Qiangu from Changliu Mountain before. She's quite special. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved! Haha!"

Hua Qiangu looked at him with some doubt and asked, "Oh? You've heard of me? Hmph, what have you heard of me?"

Dongfang Yuqing scratched his head and said with a smile, "I heard you're very hardworking and ambitious, and you're not afraid of difficulties. You've been working hard to cultivate. I think a girl like that is really amazing! Haha!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu felt slightly better. She snorted and said, "Of course! I won't let anyone look down on me! Humph!"

Just then, Hua Qiangu suddenly remembered that she quite liked the character Dongfang Yuqing when she watched the TV series "The Journey of Flower." A thought flashed through her mind: "Wow, I never thought I'd actually meet him in real life! And he seems pretty good too, hehe!"

Seeing that Hua Qiangu had suddenly fallen silent, Dongfang Yuqing asked, "Miss, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Oh dear, please don't be angry!"

Hua Qiangu snapped out of her reverie and said with a smile, "No, I just suddenly remembered some things! By the way, you just said you would take responsibility for marrying me, but that won't do. But we can be friends first, and we can talk about the future later!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing was somewhat disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Alright, since you say so, let's be friends for now. But I won't give up on pursuing you, I'll definitely make you willingly marry me! Haha!"

Hua Qiangu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then you can keep working hard. But let me make this clear first, I'm focused on cultivation right now and don't have time to talk about love with you!"

Dongfang Yuqing nodded quickly and said, "Understood, understood. You just focus on your cultivation, I'll support you from the side. We can get to know each other better when you have time! Haha!"

From then on, Dongfang Yuqing often appeared by Hua Qiangu's side, occasionally bringing her little trinkets or telling her interesting stories about the outside world. Their relationship gradually became closer through these interactions.

Once, Dongfang Yuqing came to see Hua Qiangu with a delicate little box, and said with a grin, "Bone, look what good things I brought you! Haha!"

When Hua Qiangu heard him call her "Bone," she was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "Why are you calling me Bone? Humph, but what's in this box? Open it and let me see!"

Dongfang Yuqing opened the box, inside was a beautiful hairpin. He picked it up and gently inserted it into Hua Qiangu's hair, saying, "Gugu, this hairpin is so beautiful! I thought it suited you perfectly the moment I saw it. You look even more beautiful wearing it! Haha!"

Hua Qiangu touched the hairpin in her hair, feeling sweet inside. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Dongfang, this hairpin is really beautiful!"

On another occasion, Hua Qiangu encountered a problem in her cultivation and was frowning when Dongfang Yuqing appeared.

Seeing Hua Qiangu's troubled expression, Dongfang Yuqing asked with concern, "Bone, what's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation? Oh, don't look so gloomy, tell me about it, I'll help you think of a solution!"

Hua Qiangu sighed and said, "Dongfang, I keep getting stuck on the circulation of spiritual energy. I just can't get it right. I'm so anxious!"

Dongfang Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "Bone, don't worry, let me take a look." As he spoke, he carefully examined the spiritual energy in Hua Qiangu's body and then patiently explained it to her.

With Dongfang Yuqing's help, Hua Qiangu quickly resolved the issue of her spiritual energy circulation. She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Dongfang, you're amazing! Thank you so much! Humph!"

Dongfang Yuqing laughed and said, "Bones, why are you being so polite with me? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters! Haha!"

And so, Dongfang Yuqing and Hua Qiangu's relationship grew better and better, while Hua Qiangu continued to advance on her cultivation path. Although she would occasionally have some minor conflicts with Ni Mantian and others, with Dongfang Yuqing's companionship, her days became more warm and enjoyable.
