In the depths of the serene lake, the lake rippled on top of Qiu Haitang's head. She sat upright without moving. Her long eyelashes, slightly raised nose, rosy lips, and uncombed black hair cascading down to her waist and buttocks like a waterfall. She was enchanting and beautiful.
After a while, she opened her eyes and sighed faintly. Unknowingly, she had stayed at the bottom of the lake for so long. She had never secluded herself for such a long time. It was as if she had been forgotten by the world.
Of course, only one person knew that she was there, and that person had clearly forgotten about her. These damned and heartless males!
She had been in the Foundation Establishment realm for many years and had a solid foundation. After converting her cultivation technique into the Rouge Heart Dye Technique, she had broken through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm with the help of Grandma You's Rouge Heart. However, she had yet to completely refine it and was still a distance away from the peak.
To take that step and form her own Rouge Heart was not an easy task. She did not have the Origin Spirit Pill, and it was too difficult to break through by relying on her own strength. She got up and paced back and forth in the cave.
If not for the rapid improvement of her cultivation, she almost doubted that she could stay here for so long. Although she was tired of the hustle and bustle, after being lonely for a long time, she realized that living alone was not so simple.
She tucked her long black hair to the side of her face. Although she was a cultivator, she firmly believed that the meaning of life was not just cultivation. She could not allow her appearance to silently wither in the long river of time. All of her cultivation was to pursue the man she loved, and then use the Yearning Dye Red Thread secret technique.
Since people's hearts were fickle, she would use a red thread to bind them together. Who would that person be?
The first thing she thought of was Hwa Seung-zan, but she immediately rejected it with a smile. Although she loved him to the point that she was willing to give up her dignity, she did not want to force things to this extent. If the other party was heartless, what was the point of relying purely on a kind of technique to maintain their affection?
Then, that fiery red hair appeared before her eyes. With a wicked smile, she muttered, "North Moon … bastard!"
Dong dong dong!
At this moment, a knocking sound came from above. Begonia looked up. She saw a familiar smiling face outside the crystal wall.
"North Moon!"
Li Qingshan stepped into the abode at the bottom of the lake. This abode had not changed much from when he left, although it had undergone some simple decorations. But it was still as empty and boring as a prison. Compared to her original extravagant and gorgeous cave residence, it was like heaven and earth.
"It must have been hard for her to stay here for so long!"
Looking at Begonia again, Li Qingshan couldn't help but be moved. At this moment, she was wearing a plain and indifferent dress, and she had a kind of beauty that had been washed clean. Her skin was as white as snow, but perhaps it was because she had stayed at the bottom of the dark lake for too long, so her skin had a lustrous white color. She stood there in a natural and unrestrained manner, and a pair of charming and beautiful eyes looked over. At the same time, it exuded an indescribable charm.
From Begonia's point of view, he had changed quite a bit as well. He had lost some of his arrogance and recklessness, and had gained a lot more stability and calmness. The way he looked at her also made her very satisfied. But when she thought of the intimacy in the past, it still felt like it was yesterday. Waves rose in her heart, and she couldn't control herself.
Her expression did not change, and she poured tea, polite and yet distant, blaming him for giving her the cold shoulder for so long.
Li Qingshan asked, "You're about to pass the second heavenly tribulation, right?"
"Yes." Begonia was a man of few words.
"Here." Li Qingshan threw a brocade box to her.
Begonia caught the brocade box, opened it, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Origin Spirit Pill."
Li Qingshan put his hands in his pockets, turned around and left, leaving the cup of tea untouched, and the smoke curled up.
"Wait! You're leaving just like that? "Begonia didn't expect him to leave just like that, without the slightest bit of hesitation. Her heart was a little flustered.
"What else can I do? I don't think you want to talk to me. "
Li Qingshan turned around and said. She didn't give him a good attitude, so he didn't want to ask for a snub. Of course, if he used force, Begonia naturally wouldn't be able to resist, but he wasn't a pervert, and wouldn't go so far as to specifically do such things.
"You're really cold and heartless!"
Begonia said angrily. His indifferent and indifferent attitude had angered her in an instant.
Li Qingshan smiled, and said, "If the heavens had feelings, the heavens would grow old. You can also be considered a cultivator. I think with your talent, if you thought less about matters of love, you would have long passed the second heavenly tribulation."
"You can leave! There's no need to come again! "Begonia threw the Origin Spirit Pill back forcefully.
"You can't be blaming me for not coming to see you all this time, right?" Li Qingshan caught the Origin Spirit Pill, and with a flash, he arrived behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and said by her ear.
"I don't care, let go of me!" Begonia snorted coldly, and struggled with all her might.
Li Qingshan could feel her plump buttocks rubbing against each other, and when he looked down, that snow-white ravine was rippling violently.
"Then I'll give you a simple explanation. I've been cultivating for a while now, fought Si Qing and the others twice, and killed E Dan. Recently, I've always been hunted down by his master. Have you heard of his master? He's from the Manor of Myriad Beasts of the Dragon province. He's called some Beast King or something. He's really powerful. "
He said it with great ease, but Begonia could hear the thrill in his voice. E Dan was not that easy to kill, let alone a "Beast King". To a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was a powerful figure of legends. Being hunted down by him was almost certain death.
While she cultivated in peace in the secret dwelling he had constructed, he had made a terrifying enemy because of her, and he had to go through dangerous battles outside. He had always been giving his all in silence. He could have done whatever he wanted, but he had never asked for anything from her.
In her heart, his coldness immediately turned into silent responsibility, and she felt extremely apologetic.
"I don't know … I should have known that E Dan wouldn't just let the matter rest after killing so many of his disciples. It's great that you're fine."
"This is not good news for you. My enemy is your enemy. After all, everyone knows that you're my 'woman'."
Li Qingshan lifted Begonia's chin, and she raised her head to meet his gaze. She understood that he was angry at her for giving him the cold shoulder, and she could not help but smile.
"If it weren't for you, I would already be dead. I'm afraid this is my fate."
Begonia sighed softly. There was a hint of helplessness, but not much sadness. Her eyes were shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, which made her look even more alluring.
"I don't believe in fate. Everything depends on one's own effort!"
Li Qingshan stuffed the Origin Spirit Pill into her hands, and let go of her rather reluctantly. If he continued to maintain this attitude, he could not guarantee what he would do. This time, they would meet again. For some reason, he had a feeling that he did not want to offend her too much. Perhaps it was because he was not drunk this time!
"Can you tell me in detail what happened outside?" Begonia turned around. She yearned to know what he had experienced.
"Alright!"
Li Qingshan recounted the adventures of the North Moon. Inevitably, there were some elements of falsehood in the story, to fill in some blanks, to cover up some flaws. And the most falsehood was all about Begonia, such as "I've been thinking about you at that time!" or "Ever since I found out that E Dan was rude to you, he was someone I had to kill no matter what. He's someone I have to kill no matter what, even if I have to provoke some Beast King. "
This was his personality. When Begonia ignored him, he would not bother to say a word. But when she gave in, he was willing to say some nice things to make her happy. It had to be said that this was rather difficult. When Li Qingshan said these words, even he himself felt a little uncomfortable. His acting skills were far from normal.
Begonia was an intelligent woman who was very good at reading people's expressions. She should have seen through his clumsy lies at a glance, but … Even though she said, "I don't believe you!" She still wore a bashful smile on her face. Towards the end, her eyes shone with extraordinary splendor, looking extremely touched. The tenderness in her eyes continued to expand.
This made Li Qingshan understand why it was said that female cultivators' love tribulations were the heaviest, and ordinary people should not get involved with them. Seeing the joy that came from the bottom of her heart, she was practically glowing, exuding an incomparably moving charm. Thus, his sweet words became more and more smooth, to the point that even he himself almost believed them to be true.
"Mm, at that time, I might have indeed thought about her, but I was interrupted by that E Dan's strange cries, so I had no choice but to kill him first!"
At this time, his hands and feet were very well-behaved, only holding her lily-white hand and gently caressing it. Because admiring her radiant beauty at that moment, appreciating the affection flowing in her eyes, was an enjoyment that far surpassed lust. Bashful laughter, concern, coquettish anger, all kinds of expressions were extremely moving. If he were to indulge in lust, it would instead be a kind of destruction to this beauty.
Begonia's eyes were filled with smiles. "You really let him call you Ah Yue!"
"Yes, I called him Ah Qing, and Ah Dan and Ah Zhen. You really should have seen the expressions on their faces at that time."
"You're really rotten to the core." Begonia laughed wildly. "Why don't I call you Ah Yue from now on as well!"
"Then I'll call you Ah Tang?" "No, it sounds awful. Just call me by my name."
Li Qingshan then said tenderly, "Hai Tang."
"Hm, that's too mushy." Begonia frowned, but she felt a strange shudder in her heart. Her cheeks flushed red.
"Si Qing arranged so many women for you, why didn't you touch them? Or are you lying to me! "
"I swear to the heavens, this is definitely true. It's because compared to my Hai Tang, they are like fireflies to the sun and moon. I really can't arouse any interest."
"When did I become your woman?" "Didn't you already accept your fate?" "Where there is a will, there is a way." "I regret it." "Hee hee, it's already too late."
Of course, there were many loopholes in these words. After such a long time, if he really yearned for her day and night like he said, could it be that he really couldn't find a bit of time to see her?
However, she automatically ignored all of them. Even if she thought about it, she felt that not only did he have to cultivate outside, but he also had to fight against powerful enemies. He shouldn't be distracted, and he didn't want to bring trouble to her. If she blamed him for this kind of thing, then she was simply the kind of woman who didn't know what was good for her.
She wasn't stupid, she was just too infatuated. Hwa Seung-zan had never spoken to her like this before, and she didn't care about other men. This woman, who had always yearned for love, was actually hearing these sweet words for the first time in her life. No matter how intelligent and sharp she was, her mind was still a bit muddled.
It wasn't that sweet words could trick her, otherwise these words wouldn't have fallen into Li Qingshan's hands. All this time, his help and care for her had not been fake. He had long since touched her heart, planting a seed in her heart. These words were just an opportunity for the seed to germinate.
Li Qingshan thought that if he could see numbers like favorability, he would definitely see that her favorability had increased by a large amount. As expected, he couldn't be a nameless hero. It was foolish to just practice and not speak. He had practiced what he needed to practice, and said what he needed to say. This kind of result was as natural as floating clouds and flowing water.
In the end, her eyes naturally overflowed with gentleness and concern, practically melting his heart. She shyly called out "A Yue" in a tone that made half of his tiger bones melt.
When it was time to part, Begonia was reluctant to part. Li Qingshan suddenly asked, "Haitang, do you have money?"
At this point, if a modern person were to hear this sentence, they would definitely treat it as an emotional scam program.
"It's something like silver notes."
Li Qingshan explained further. He vaguely remembered that when he gave Grandma You's hundred treasures pouch to her, there were many silver notes inside. At the time, he didn't care about it at all, but after Sun Fubai's reminder, he remembered.
"I do."
Begonia could never have imagined that the reason he came looking for her was because of these silver notes, which were of little use to cultivators. However, these silver notes couldn't be exchanged for a single Origin Spirit Pill even if they were all put together.
Li Qingshan said, "I have some use for them."
As a result, Begonia took out all of the silver notes, but it was much more than what Li Qingshan had originally imagined. She had been the sect master of the Sect of Clouds and Rain for many years, so she controlled the Parlour of Clouds and Rain's accumulated wealth. Grandma You did not care too much about the money either, leaving it in her care.
Before he left, Li Qingshan said, "Haitang, don't be in such a hurry to ingest the Origin Spirit Pill. If you fail the tribulation, I'll be sad!" He was not lying.
"Yeah, I'll be careful." Begonia had never been so docile before. She said rather bashfully, "In the future, if you have nothing to do, come and sit!"
"I will." Li Qingshan smiled and pecked her gently on the lips before turning around and leaving gracefully.
Begonia stood there blankly. She touched her lips. The gentle kiss had touched her much more than when he had taken advantage of her in the past.
Only a while later did she return to her senses. She spread her arms and spun around on the spot. She was extremely delighted, and her footsteps became light. The gloomy dwelling at the bottom of the lake seemed to receive sunlight as well.
She calmed down after much difficulty and began to look forward to their next meeting. She looked at the Origin Spirit Pill in her hand and thought about how she had to work harder on her cultivation. No matter what he said, she believed they were destined to be together.
Li Qingshan left the bottom of the lake, but he wondered whether what he had done earlier was right or wrong. However, he cast this thought to the back of his head very soon. How could the right and wrong of the world be so easy to distinguish? What was done was done. There was nothing for him to regret.
As a result, he handed the silver notes to Sun Fubai before attending a banquet in the Parlour of Clouds and Rain at night. He formally took over the Sect of Clouds and Rain and obtained a source of wealth. The hundred-year plan of the school of Novels began vigorously. To Li Qingshan, this was nothing major. The Divine Talisman of Great Creation was not particularly important either. It could barely be regarded as the least important out of his cultivation paths, but it had truly affected the fates of countless people.
