The night breeze ruffled his scarlet hair.
Li Qingshan gazed at the stars and vaguely saw Han Qiongzhi's furious face. He smiled gently and let go of Ye Liusu, standing up. Looking back at the western horizon, all he saw was a streak of light flying over.
Li Qingshan leapt up and arrived in the air, blocking Hwa Seung-zan's path.
"Here you go again."
"We agree to your conditions. We can give you the Watermirror disc, but you need to hand over the Lightning Slaughter sword first." Hwa Seung-zan was mildly surprised before calming down. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Qingshan raise his hand and toss out the Lightning Slaughter sword.
"Aren't you afraid we'll go back on our word?"
Li Qingshan said, "Only if you don't plan on leaving the Hundred Schools of Thought in the future."
Hwa Seung-zan sighed gently. This was the confidence that came from absolute strength. Afterwards, he took out the Watermirror disc from his hundred treasures pouch. The Watermirror disc reflected the moonlight in the sky. It was like a full moon had landed in Hwa Seung-zan's hand, shining with bright and pure light.
Li Qingshan's eyes lit up. He smiled. "Isn't that great? We can all live in peace. We can each take what we need and cultivate on our own." Accepting the Watermirror disc, he turned around and returned to the island.
Hwa Seung-zan had prepared a lot of things, but he actually never had the opportunity to say them. However, what Li Qingshan had said was exactly what he had been aiming for. He actually felt rather disappointed that he had achieved his goal so easily.
Li Qingshan returned to the island. Ye Liusu saw the Watermirror disc in his hand and asked in surprise, "What's that?"
"The treasure of the Hundred Schools of Thought."
Li Qingshan stared at the Watermirror disc in his hand. He could not help but be drawn into it, as if the woman of his dreams was standing right in front of him, completely naked. He actually felt like he was unable to shift his gaze away.
Originally, it was just a flash of inspiration, but as it looked now, it was not as simple as it seemed. As Li Qingshan channeled his daemon qi into it, the daemon core in his body suddenly changed. It shone with rings of light.
Li Qingshan had refined many arcane and spiritual artifacts, but the spirit turtle's daemon core still reacted so strongly. This was the first time.
The function of the Watermirror Disc was not as simple as monitoring.
Ye Liusu said, "Master, this place is really too empty. I'll bring some clansmen over, they'll definitely be happy."
Hearing this form of address, Li Qingshan was slightly startled, but he saw that Ye Liusu had already returned to normal. However, there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes, as if she was blaming him. He placed all his attention on the Watermirror Disc.
Li Qingshan put away the Watermirror Disc. He pinched her cheek and said, "I didn't know that Liusu was so jealous."
Ye Liusu held his hand. Her gaze was gentle and filled with concern. "Cultivation comes first. I know that Helicoverpa Rosa won't just let the matter rest."
"Yeah, fair enough."
Li Qingshan nodded slightly. He wanted to kiss her. He had plenty of time. If he was defeated by Helicoverpa Rosa, then there would be no need to mention anything at all. Ye Liusu's sweet dream would come to an end. It would also end early. As a loser, all he could do was protect his own life at most. He still had to make a clear distinction in this matter.
Li Qingshan kissed Ye Liusu gently on the lips, bidding her farewell. Ye Liusu actually took the initiative to hug him and kiss him passionately.
It was as if the passion and boldness of a female night roamer in her heart had completely erupted after expressing her feelings, but that was not actually the case.
Just Now, in that moment, she had no idea what Li Qingshan had agreed to, but she could sense that he was thinking of another woman through her instincts as a woman.
Who was that woman? Ye Liubo? That was impossible, as she could sense that it was not a master's love for a pet, but a man's love for a woman, and the depth of this love completely surpassed his love for her.
She was rather reluctant to accept this. Although she knew he was not someone she could enjoy alone, she made up her mind to occupy a place in his heart. She was confident that she, Ye Liusu, was no worse than any other woman.
Li Qingshan could never have guessed that so many thoughts had already crossed Ye Liusu's mind in such a short amount of time. All he could say was that once a woman became interested in love, her thoughts would immediately become ten times sharper.
After a passionate kiss, Li Qingshan's desires were roused once again. He rubbed and played around with her supple bottom with one hand while his other hand landed on her chest. The tough, black armour obviously could not stop him. With a gentle flick, it shattered.
Her perky breasts jumped out. Although they were not as voluptuous as Ye Liubo's, her naked upper body had a kind of sculptural beauty.
Just as he was about to do something, Ye Liusu pushed him away fiercely. When their lips separated, Ye Liusu bit hard on his lips, as if she wanted to leave some kind of mark on him.
With a wave of her hand, the black cloak fell on her body again, covering her skin completely. She bowed and said, "Master, this subordinate will take his leave. Please cultivate well!"
Li Qingshan rubbed his head. This was the first time he had seen "hatred" in her eyes. He watched as Ye Liusu vanished into the lakewater. He rubbed the teeth on his lips and shook his head. It was best if he did not guess what was on a woman's mind.
After all, he was not like Hwa Seung-zan, who regarded the word "love" as the highest level of infatuation.
Although he had fallen in love with Gu Yanying at first sight, he had never been unable to forget or regret his longing for her. Being able to talk about that love at first sight many years later, he felt that he had no regrets. As for whether Gu Yanying agreed or not, it was not even important anymore.
Although he had some thoughts about pursuing a sincere love or something, after the lingering with Han Qiongzhi, he had almost exhausted all his feelings in this life.
At the end of the day, he had never intended to entrust the meaning of his life to one or a few women. Of course, the relationship between a man and a woman was also very important. It was probably on par with his pursuit of power and his desire for battle.
But compared to the dream of the Nine Heavens and the promise he made to Brother Niu, it was a lot less.
In the eyes of women, men always seemed a little ruthless. That was because the world of men was always too broad, but it was not as big as the ambition in their hearts.
The north wind called upon warriors to leave the warm home and rush towards the boundless sea. Even they themselves could not stop them.
This endless adventure and pursuit was where the meaning of life lay.
Li Qingshan calmed himself down and got rid of all distracting thoughts. He also arrived at Moon Court lake, prepared to properly study the Watermirror disc and see if he could improve his strength.
… …
In the depths of the lake, Li Qingshan stared at the Watermirror disc in his hand. Although daemonic qi pervaded the place, he immediately sensed the remnant mark left behind by Liu Changqing when he infused it.
It did not take him much effort to erase it. However, in the process, he discovered something. It seemed that even Liu Changqing had not completely refined the Watermirror disc.
On the other side, when Hwa Seung-zan returned to the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Thunder Slaughter wooden sword in his hand was practically snatched away by Zhou Tong. The way he caressed the sword was like caressing a lover he had not seen for a long time.
Meanwhile, Liu Changqing looked like he had lost his parents. He asked Hwa Seung-zan, "Did you give him the Watermirror disc?"
"Yes."
Liu Changqing let out a heavy sigh at first before becoming rather irritated. "The Watermirror disc is something left behind by an ancient cultivator. He's just a daemon, so don't even think about refining it so easily."
"Let's hope so!"
Li Qingshan had already begun refining the Watermirror disc. He immediately sensed a startling power hidden within the Watermirror disc. Was this a legendary arcane treasure? Li Qingshan shook his head. That was impossible. Even among Golden Core cultivators, there were not a lot of arcane treasures that could be used.
Perhaps it was because of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, or perhaps it was because Li Qingshan and the Watermirror disc really hit it off, but during the refinement process, he did not run into any problems like Liu Changqing had been anticipating. He easily refined the Watermirror disc completely, unlocking the part of its function that even Liu Changqing was unable to unleash.
"So that's how it is. It really is a good treasure, a good treasure!"
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. Then he thought about it. If he used the Watermirror disc to use the Watermirror's Image, he wondered if there would be other miraculous effects.
… …
Sixty years passed in the mountains, and no one knew the year of winter.
In the blink of an eye, autumn had already passed and winter had arrived. Moon Court lake was covered in a layer of white snow.
Ye Liusu had already moved a portion of the night roamers to Moon Court lake, beginning a new life. As for Li Qingshan, he did not stop at all, refining as many bodies of water as he could. With each additional river he refined, he would gain a portion of power and a portion of security.
On this day, Li Qingshan moved through the gloomy underground. He followed another underground river and arrived in the territory of another Daemon General. When the Daemon General sensed his daemon qi, he hid far away, afraid to come face to face with him.
At this moment, Li Qingshan sensed something. A strand of snow-white silk suddenly shot out from underground, piercing his neck.
Li Qingshan had already moved away. What was pierced was only an afterimage he had left behind.
The silk trembled, and Helicoverpa Rosa's voice rang out. "North Moon, come and die!"
Li Qingshan smiled. He was just about to agree to it and barge into the enemy's camp alone again.
The spirit turtle's daemon core suddenly gave him an extremely stern warning. It was actually even more intense than last time.
Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow. That was impossible. His current strength was more than ten times greater than when he took the risk last time. And, he had gained quite a few trump cards. He still had seventy percent of the power of belief in the Divine Talisman of Great Creation that he could use. And, with the speed of his wings of wind, even if he could not defeat her, he could still flee if he wanted to.
There were so many favorable conditions, but there was still such a great danger!
However, the spirit turtle's daemon core clearly told him that facing the Spider Queen this time would be one of the greatest life-threatening dangers of his life.
"Haha, mother of my child, you're far too slow. Once I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll obviously go."
Li Qingshan intended on waiting for Little Ann to emerge from seclusion after he refined the Blood Sea Banner, so that he would have an additional layer of protection for this trip.
With his current strength, it was impossible for him to break through to the fifth layer of the tiger demon, so there was no possibility for him to erupt on the spot. Taking this risk was completely pointless.
"I want you to come right now!"
"Right now? You've made me wait for so long, so you should wait for a while too! "
"Alright, I'll give you a month." The voice behind Helicoverpa Rosa immediately calmed down.
Li Qingshan instead became more and more cautious. The reason why Helicoverpa Rosa had backed down like this was clearly because she was afraid of scaring him away. In other words, she really did have the confidence to kill him. (To be continued …)
