The river that stretched underground was not the one Li Qingshan had discovered — that was only one of the main streams. Instead, it was densely woven together like a spider's web.
After experiencing the wonders of the Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas, Li Qingshan's ambition swelled. He was no longer satisfied with just refining a single river. Although the range completely exceeded his own territory, none of the other Daemon Generals were bold enough to stop him.
As a result, whenever he arrived at the mouth of a tributary, he would disperse his daemon qi. Even with the Spirit Turtle's divine powers, the process was still extremely slow.
However, he was in no hurry. He advanced forward slowly, all for the sake of establishing an underground network of water that belonged to him.
At the top of Cobweb city, in the dark bedroom, a snow-white figure was vaguely visible behind the heavy curtains.
Helicoverpa Rosa laid on the bed completely naked. She opened her vermillion lips slightly and spat out a thread of silk. At the same time, her ten fingers danced about. Even her eight legs danced about in a dazzling manner, constantly twisting and twisting the silk as if she was weaving something.
Her expression was serious and focused. Although she was naked, there was not the slightest hint of it. Instead, she seemed extremely natural.
At the same time, her cold, haughty, and cruel bearing had completely vanished.
Right now, she seemed more like a craftsman, an artist, carefully polishing her work. She had completely forgotten about her senior sister outside. None of the outside world's interference could affect her.
However, Li Qingshan's large-scale refinement of water still alarmed her.
Helicoverpa Rosa raised her head. She could clearly sense Li Qingshan's daemon qi permeating her body. She bit her vermillion lips gently. A vicious light flashed through her eyes, but it only lasted for a moment. She lowered her head again and returned her focus to the work at hand.
Actually, this was the spider's mode of killing. They would spend a long time preparing for the moment of surprise when their prey fell into their web.
… …
"Croak croak! Great king, great king! "
The ice frog bounced around in Li Qingshan's hand. The ice spring it occupied was also the source of a system of water that Li Qingshan wanted to refine.
Li Qingshan smiled and said, "It seems that you are about to take that step. Let me give you a hand."
Ice Frog was among the demon soldiers under Li Qingshan. He was the strongest among them. Furthermore, he seemed to possess a special bloodline, which allowed him to unleash the power of ice.
A few years ago. After a few years of bitter cultivation, he could be considered to have reached a certain critical point. However, if he wanted to truly break through, it would take years.
However, when Li Qingshan took out the Water God Seal and tapped it gently, a ray of blue light entered the head of the ice frog.
Immediately, the Ice Frog's body emitted a brilliant blue light. The Demonic Core in his body emitted an unparalleled chill that permeated his entire body.
"Plop!" The ice frog turned around and jumped into the ice spring.
"Become a beauty to repay my kindness!"
Li Qingshan chuckled. He felt the ground tremble slightly, and the spring suddenly lit up. It spat out a bolt of lightning, which flickered continuously, getting brighter and brighter.
After a long while, the trembling gradually subsided, and the lightning slowly dimmed.
A handsome youth with icy blue hair crawled out of the spring. He said, "Croak, croak, thank you, great king!"
After careful inspection, Li Qingshan confirmed that this was indeed a youth and not a young girl. He said with a disappointed expression, "Alright, I guess I'm unlucky. I'll give you a name. Let's call you … Little Blue! Sigh, I hope Little Red is a female! "
Adhering to his usual tasteless naming principles, Li Qingshan casually named the ice frog 'Little Blue'. As for the 'good name' 'Little Red', it was something he had thought of on a whim. He felt that it was very suitable for the big red carp.
"Croak, croak, good!"
The ice frog of the past and the current Little Blue naturally had no objections. They did not have much of an idea of whether human names were good or bad. It was not until many years later that they finally understood. By the time they resented it, it was already too late.
Li Qingshan guided Little Blue to swim against the flow and continue cultivating in Moon Court lake. Afterwards, he spread his daemon qi into the spring and completed the refinement of another system of water.
Right when he was about to continue on his journey, he sensed a familiar aura rapidly approach him. Li Qingshan smiled and withdrew all of his aura. He took a step back and merged with the rock.
A figure stepped out of the darkness. Ye Liusu arrived beside the spring. She wore a luxurious, black cloak and a silver circlet on her head. The silver crescent moon hung down to her forehead, making her seem mysterious and noble.
She looked around, struggling to hide her eagerness. She was rather disappointed that she could not see Li Qingshan.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, an arm hugged her from behind. Her whole body tensed up, then relaxed, and gently leaned into his embrace.
"Master, I- I can sense your daemon qi."
Afterwards, she abandoned the group of night roamers and directly rushed over to see him. Her face heated up slightly as she experienced a feeling she had never experienced before. She only felt extremely at ease in his arms. The exhaustion from scheming against the night roamers vanished silently.
"How's your great cause of unifying the world going?"
"It's alright, because master …"
"Let's call you something else! That doesn't suit you. "
Li Qingshan smiled. Although calling the proud Ye Liusu his master was a very delightful matter, it was exactly because of this that he would never be able to call him like Ye Liubo, from the bottom of her heart and filled with emotion.
"T- that's not too good!" Ye Liusu hesitated before turning around and looking at Li Qingshan with shining eyes. "When there's no one else around, I won't call you master, alright?"
"Up to you."
Ye Liusu smiled faintly and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, offering up a kiss rather bashfully and immaturely. She stopped there, her eyes brimming with undisguised affection.
She didn't want to just be his servant. When she chose to give up everything and follow him to roam the world, she understood her own feelings. This kind of desire became stronger and stronger, and he heard the voice in her heart. His heart was very sweet.
"Do you want a gift?" Li Qingshan smiled.
"Yeah."
Ye Liusu was nowhere near as awe-inspiring as the great king Ye Liusu of the past. Her coldness and decisiveness before the night roamers had completely vanished. She was as docile as a young lady in love.
"Then close your eyes."
Li Qingshan took Ye Liusu with him and travelled upstream. They passed through the ripples and finally arrived in Moon Court lake. They passed through the formations and arrived in the Clear Court sect of the past, the current Moon Court dwelling.
"Alright, you can open your eyes!"
"What's this!?" Ye Liusu opened her eyes and saw the rising and falling palaces and pavilions under the moonlight.
"This is Moon Court lake. I've already refined it. This island originally belonged to a sect called the Clear Court sect, but I chased them away. From today onwards, it will be the Moon Court dwelling, as well as the territory you want under the starlight! "
Li Qingshan pointed at the sky. It was currently late at night. The bright moon hung in the sky, and the sky was filled with stars.
"This … is mine …"
Ye Liusu's mind seemed to drift towards the stars along with Li Qingshan's hand.
She had wanted to establish a territory above ground a long time ago, but she understood that human cultivators were not friendly to otherfolk. Moving recklessly would only make the night roamers a target.
Although she had this ideal, she still had to listen to the advice of reason. Not to mention that a territory without any guarantee of safety was completely pointless.
Yet now, Li Qingshan had personally given her the territory she had always dreamed of, completing her long-cherished wish. It went without saying what kind of surprise she felt.
Ye Liusu returned to her senses and pushed Li Qingshan to the ground. She could not express her feelings with words. All she could do was hug him firmly with all her might.
Li Qingshan laid on the soft grass and saw the corners of Ye Liusu's eyes moisten, twinkling like starlight before turning into tears very soon. She seemed even more beautiful and enchanting than before.
He felt faint joy in his heart too. He wiped away Ye Liusu's tears and held her delicate face, kissing her gently on the lips.
Ye Liusu responded clumsily, extending the tip of her tongue into his mouth. He immediately sucked it in and tasted it.
Li Qingshan pulled off the black cloak on Ye Liusu. Her clothes underneath were similar to when they first met. The simple, black armour only covered the most important parts. Her slender waist was exposed, and her skin was covered in flower-like patterns. It was mysterious and sexy.
Li Qingshan turned around and pressed her under him. He smiled. "When we first met, I think we were in this position."
Ye Liusu's face flushed with embarrassment. Back then, she never thought there would be a day when she would willingly lie beneath him. Her eyes suddenly flashed. "Actually, I have another ideal."
"What is it?"
"I've read a human book in the past. It's about the matters between a man and a woman. They are each other's only. If one of them dies, the other won't be able to survive either. It makes me very envious. I hope I can have someone like that too. However, night roamers don't have feelings like that. I never dared to hope for it either, until I met you. "
Ye Liusu was rather shy, but she was very calm. She seemed like she was ready to let him do whatever he wanted.
Li Qingshan's heart shuddered. He was extremely touched by her confession, but Ye Liusu's expression could not help but make him think of Han Qiongzhi.
He wondered if she had emerged from secluded cultivation. He wondered if she had succeeded with Foundation Establishment. He wondered when she would return.
Li Qingshan flipped over and laid down on the grass. He gazed at the starry sky and murmured to himself, "The only one." The stars turned into Han Qiongzhi's face of longing. He felt a hint of guilt inside.
His usual caressing of Ye Liubo was just a master's love for his pet. Moreover, he had never actually done anything, so there was nothing to feel guilty about. As for his sexual intercourse with Helicoverpa Rosa, it was more like a great adventure filled with danger and passion. His fate was still uncertain, so there was no time to feel guilty even if he wanted to.
However, with Ye Liusu, he had truly fallen in love with her. There was nothing he could do to avoid it.
"What's wrong?" Ye Liusu propped herself up and asked in confusion.
Li Qingshan pulled her into his arms and shook his head with a smile. "Nothing. I just remembered something I promised you, but I didn't fulfill it."
Fortunately, this was not his past life, or he really would have committed a heinous crime. In this day and age, even the icy-cold Han Anjun had a great number of wives and concubines. As a result, the rumors between him and Ru Xin continued to circulate endlessly. Han Anjun did not come knocking on his door and force him to move out of the Chain mountains either.
Compared to this, what troubled Li Qingshan even more was his identity as a daemon. This was truly a major issue. If he did not handle it well, he would definitely hurt both himself and others. (To be continued …)
