Li Qingshan and Little Ann looked at one another and smiled. It sure had been a long time since they had heard these two names!
"So you're still alive, and you've even become so powerful. That's fantastic. I don't have to go to the Meow Sea anymore." Xuanyue rubbed her chest with her claws and let out a great sigh of relief. She said hesitantly, "Then … do you still treat me as your master, meow?"
"I've never been your master!" Li Qingshan said in exasperation, but he still smiled.
"Dammit, you really have fallen out with me! Don't forget, I was the one who personally engraved the two words on your head! Otherwise, how could you have come up with such a good name, meow? " Xuanyue leapt onto Li Qingshan's head gracefully and slapped his horn heavily with her claws, reminding him not to forget about this favour.
"I was tempted to kill you back then!" Li Qingshan stared at the cat's eyes.
"Haha, you were angry for quite a long time back then, but didn't you still accept it obediently? Come, call me master again!" Xuanyue's furry head stuck out from Li Qingshan's head as she stared at him with her different-coloured eyes.
"Did you see just how powerful I was earlier?" Li Qingshan rubbed his forehead.
"It was very powerful. You became as tall as a mountain and killed all of those despicable guys. You're basically even more powerful than master!" Xuanyue said excitedly.
"You …" The Dark Queen was taken aback. Even she felt some reverence towards the current Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan stood up and pointed at his head. "I just happen to be lacking a pet. Can you give this cat to me?"
Before the Dark Queen could even say anything, Xuanyue called out, "I'm not your pet! I'm your master! Master! "
"Heh. That's not up to you! "Li Qingshan lifted her up. He still remembered how she had kidnapped him to the Dragon province back then.
"Mother," Little Ann nodded towards the Dark Queen and said to Chu Lie King in the sky, "Father, please stop!"
Chu Lie King was silent for a while. "Xuan Yue, do you know that you are the public enemy of all the Buddhists in the world?"
"If anyone wants to kill me, then let them come. I won't hold back against people outside of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga." Little Ann shook his head gently. She did not mind adding a few more Skull Prayer Beads.
Until today. Even if the Left Master of the Lingguo Temple wanted to kill her, the "Enemy of Buddha", he would have to think twice. Although the people of Buddhism had no lack of sacrificial spirit, they knew their limits. There would be no suicide attacks.
Chu Lie King closed his eyes. He heaved a long sigh. In the cultivation world, the strong were respected, and the opinions of the weak were not needed. Without a doubt, she had embarked on a path that went even further. Compared to that, even the position of King Chu was nothing! Then he gazed at Li Qingshan deeply, unable to hide the hatred in his eyes at all. "Li Qingshan, our grievances are as great as the mountains and the seas. We cannot coexist under the same sky!"
"You're not the opponent I want, nor are you my opponent! If you want to hate me, then hate me. However, today's matter isn't that simple. I don't know what the Sword Collection palace is plotting, but it doesn't matter. " Li Qingshan shrugged. When he had the time, he would pay a visit to the Sword Collection palace again and slaughter the Two Elders of Heaven and Earth, as well as remove all the swords on the Sword Collection peak along the way.
Chu Lie King took off. He personally believed he could put up a fight against Li Qingshan, but if he included "his own daughter" on the side, then there really was no chance of victory at all. If he continued arguing, he would only be asking to be humiliated. As he gazed at the setting sun that sank into the horizon, he suddenly felt a sense of desolation. He knew it would probably be difficult for him to get his revenge.
The Dark Queen gazed into the distant horizon and suddenly felt rather sad. Little Ann's voice rang out from beside her. "Mother, father is in a bad mood. You should go keep him company!"
"Then you …" The Dark Queen was reluctant to part with him.
"He probably doesn't want to see me right now," Little Ann said.
"Xuanyue, why don't you return to the Umbral Yin sect with me? You can wait for your mother there too. You've been separated for so many years, so it's best if you spend some time together," said the master of the Umbral Yin sect. However, his sinister tone really did not match the tender content.
"Just Now, thank you very much." Li Qingshan clasped his hands at the master of the Umbral Yin sect. Although he was rather disapproving of his actions of watching from the sidelines and wavering with the wind, he did not become enemies with him after all. And, if it were not for his finger in the end, there really would have been some trouble once Chu Lie King's Green province cauldron fell.
"Hehe, it was nothing. I should be thanking you more for allowing the Umbral Yin sect and the Sword Collection palace to decide a victor," said the master of the Umbral Yin sect.
Under the Dark Queen's earnest gaze, Little Ann nodded in agreement. The Dark Queen smiled, and a lot of her gloominess vanished. "I'll be returning very soon!"
Right when she was about to fly off, a slender hand grabbed her sleeve and turned around. It was a young lady with a crescent moon on her forehead.
"Xuanyue, sorry, I almost forgot about you. Come with me!" The Dark Queen was in an extremely good mood, apologising for once. However, it was rather strange. She basically never revealed her human form before him.
"There's no need, master. You've already found the real Xuanyue. I don't need to be your Yue 'er anymore." Xuanyue smiled, revealing her sharp canine teeth.
"You don't have to leave. I will treat you just like before!" The Dark Queen was not a person who cared deeply about relationships, but she still developed feelings after spending so many years with him.
Xuanyue shook her head, and the bells on her neck jingled. The Dark Queen glanced at Li Qingshan and did not try to make him stay any longer. "You can come back whenever you want!"
Little Ann and Li Qingshan had agreed to meet again when the Golden Cicada Spirit King ascended. Then, they would set off for the Umbral Yin sect. She had benefited quite a lot from this battle, so she just happened to be in need of a peaceful place to cultivate in seclusion, refine the śarīras and repair the Skull Prayer Beads, or perhaps forge another white bone arcane treasure. She did not fear the attacks of buddhism, but she did not want to be disturbed.
Xuanyue watched the Dark Queen's figure travel off into the distance until it vanished into the horizon. Just now, she turned around. "Oi, Big Blacko, do you still keep your word?"
"Of course not!" Li Qingshan rubbed the horns on his head.
"Then let's set off!" Xuanyue pointed in high spirits.
"To where?"
"The Dragon province!"
"That's the south!"
"What does it have to do with meow!?" Xuanyue flew into a rage out of embarrassment.
"It's fine. Actually, the Mist province is very nice. The people from the Dragon province are all very annoying."
"Nonsense! Ma 'am Nine-tailed Fox Queen is both meow and powerful. Only a bumpkin daemon from the countryside like the Mist province would like it! "
"You're just a measly Daemon General, yet you act so recklessly before this Daemon King! Whatever, as long as you like it! "
Li Qingshan wrapped his arm around her waist and unfurled his wings. In the next moment, he had already arrived beyond the clouds. His gaze passed through the clouds and gazed at the undulating mountains. The monks of the monastery were still submerged in the sacred atmosphere, prostrating on the ground and completely ignoring everything around them. If he had never witnessed the boundless buddhist dharma, he might have mocked them for their ignorance, but right now, all he could do was sink into his thoughts.
The Unraging monk sensed something and raised his head. His chubby face was filled with helplessness.
Li Qingshan waved goodbye with a smile. Suddenly, he felt a hint of unease, but it vanished in a flash.
