Begonia was meditating at the bottom of the lake. Suddenly, she felt the water ripple and the lake water was separated. Her face lit up. She stood up to look in the mirror and used her slender fingers to tidy up her hair. When she turned around, North Moon appeared in front of her. She hid her joy and was about to speak when she saw Hwa Seung-zan beside him. She was shocked.
"Xiao Hua!"
"Hai Tang?"
The moment she turned around, Hwa Seung-zan almost didn't recognize her. She was dressed in plain clothes, and she was more beautiful than he remembered. She exuded a captivating charm.
This wasn't just because she was practicing Mind Dyeing Rouge. When she walked out of the shadow of the past and listened to the moving sweet words, she regained her confidence in herself. Naturally, she looked radiant.
Begonia cast a questioning look at North Moon. Li Qingshan crossed his arms. "This man found me. He said he wanted to see you. He has something to say to you."
"I don't want to see him. Please ask him to leave!" Begonia turned around. She didn't want to be entangled with him anymore. She didn't want to be misunderstood.
Li Qingshan looked at Hwa Seung-zan. Although Hwa Seung-zan was smart, he didn't know what to do in front of this woman who he had let down so much.
"Hai Tang, it's better to be clear about some things. If there's a knot in your heart, it'll be detrimental to your practice."
Li Qingshan shook his head. His body slid backward and disappeared into the lake as he spoke.
"Hua Chengzan, what else do you have to say now that everything has happened!?" Qiu Haitang sucked in a deep breath and said without even looking back.
"That day, I couldn't stand up for you upstairs. It was the biggest shame of my life. Since then, I've been tossing and turning in bed. I'm filled with regret. I … "
At this point, Hwa Seung-zan choked and couldn't continue.
Begonia slowly turned around. Seeing him like this, her heart softened. "Now that things have come to this, what's the use of saying these things?"
Hwa Seung-zan said sincerely, "It's useless. But please believe me, if I were alone, I would be willing to die for you."
"I believe that you are not a coward. But I want to ask you, if it were Gu Yanying, what would you do? "
"Sorry, I don't remember her anymore."
"You don't remember?" Begonia widened her eyes in surprise. She would have believed Hwa Seung-zan if he had said that he had forgotten anyone except for that woman.
Hwa Seung-zan recounted the strange experience of the night. When the shadow of losing Gu Yanying shrouded him, the various memories of Begonia suddenly became vivid. He could not help but think, if he had not met Gu Yanying, if he had taken the Water of Oblivion earlier, would there have been a different ending?
Begonia let out a long sigh. "Then I really have to congratulate you! I can help you answer the question just now. If it were Gu Yanying, you would have thrown everything to the back of your mind just to make her smile. I understand this feeling. "
"But do you know? At that time, I never asked you to throw everything away for me. I only wanted you to lie to me and comfort me. Whatever you can do for Gu Yanying, I am willing to do for you … But it's all in the past. Now you are doing well, and I am doing well too, am I not? "
Begonia turned her head and wiped the corner of her eyes. She let out a long sigh. After saying these words, she felt a lot more relaxed. Hwa Seung-zan was still the same Hwa Seung-zan. But unknowingly, he had lost the magic that made her fall head over heels for him.
"Yes, this is the only thing worth celebrating. Otherwise, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
"Let's not talk about these disappointing things. I will use tea in place of wine to congratulate both of us for breaking free from our shackles and seeing the light of day again. As expected of childhood sweethearts. Both of us are equally unlucky. "
Begonia smiled faintly and regained her composure.
"Indeed, it's time for me to sober up."
The two teacups clinked lightly in the air. Their eyes met, and everything in the past returned to calmness from the intense atmosphere.
…
Li Qingshan stood on the surface of the lake and silently felt the changes in the Water God Seal. Over the past year, the power that had been eroding his waters had been spreading continuously. It had now occupied a third of his waters, and there were no signs of it slowing down.
It was clear that the other party had a large piece, or rather, a large number of Water God Seals. If all of this was said to be the Dragon King Of The Sea's attempt to force him out, then it was not surprising that he could take out so many Water God Seals.
He only smiled in response to this. So what if I have to give up on the entire body of water? It's not like I only want this body of water.
He had not wasted the past year. Under constant practice and experimentation, the conflict between the spirit turtle and the phoenix had been greatly reduced. Although he was still some way off from merging fire and water, he believed he would be able to unleash the true ability of the phoenix very soon.
This was all thanks to the two Daemon Kings, the Banyan Tree King and the Golden Cicada Spirit King. Over the past year, Li Qingshan would go to the Asura Field to chat with the Banyan Tree King when he had nothing to do. His clone resided in the lava and flames deep underground. When the Golden Cicada Spirit King had the time, he would chat with him as well.
Whether it be in terms of cultivation or intelligence, they were existences that stood at the apex across the nine provinces. Just a few words of advice would often enlighten Li Qingshan, allowing him to benefit tremendously. The value of this opportunity was immeasurable. It was no coincidence that Li Qingshan had gained their favor. The Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine had made him the most resplendent new star of the current daemons, while the Will of the Nine Heavens gave him the boldness to speak to Daemon Kings on equal footing.
Li Qingshan's cultivation was very important too. After undergoing the second heavenly tribulation, his strength might not have undergone any overwhelming changes, but his cultivation level was closer to the essence of the world. With that as his foundation, the difficulty of cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine was greatly reduced.
According to his calculations, as long as he truly consolidated his cultivation of the first layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa and possessed the two innate abilities of the Phoenix Transformation, he would be able to reach Daemon Commander.
By then, his innate abilities would increase by another four. That way, he would possess twelve innate abilities, and the innate abilities he already possessed would become stronger as well. His overall strength would undergo a qualitative change.
By then, no one at the second heavenly tribulation would be his opponent anymore, and killing him at the third heavenly tribulation would not be easy either. He would possess the power to protect himself across the entire nine provinces.
If he could reach the fourth layer of the Phoenix Transformation like the Spirit Turtle Transformation and merge water and fire, refining a daemon core of water and fire where water and fire coexisted, he would probably be able to reach the peak of Daemon Commander. He would possess the strength to challenge Daemon Kings, and if he took a step further, he would be a true Daemon King. Moreover, he would be a Daemon King with sixteen innate abilities. By then, he would be able to move unhindered across the nine provinces. How delightful would that be?
However, up to this point, he had only cultivated the first four of the nine transformations of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, the ox demon, tiger demon, spirit turtle, and phoenix. Moreover, he had basically only cultivated half of them. Probably even when he broke out of this world and leapt out of the well, he would not be able to cultivate any of the transformations. He just wondered if he would have the opportunity to see the transformations of the remaining two demons and two gods.
Li Qingshan gazed at the sky. His gaze pierced through the clouds, the stars, and the moon, directly towards the distant space. He extended his arm as if he wanted to pluck a star. The corner of his lips curled into a smile.
"Ten thousand years? It won't take that long! "
Hwa Seung-zan's figure rose from the bottom of the water. When he saw this scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of shock in his heart. He followed the direction of his finger and looked up, but all he saw were dark clouds.
What was he looking at? What was in the sky that was attracting him?
In the endless heights that no one had ever reached, in the depths of the heart that even love could not touch, the dream would never die!
Li Qingshan retracted his arm and looked back with a smile. "How was the discussion?"
"The way you looked just now …"
"What?"
"It was admirable and inspiring."
"Hah, I'm not interested in men."
"Me neither. Thank you. After being entangled for so long, it's time to start again. "
Hwa Seung-zan raised his head and gazed at the sky. He had ended two relationships of love and being loved. He had let go of all his stubbornness, guilt, and pain. Would he be able to restore his former glory and reclaim the title of genius?
Of course, there was no need to think about the number one genius. The person in front of him was standing there. It seemed impossible to be the number two genius. Little Ann was firmly in this position. Other than these two people, he believed that he would not lose to anyone else.
He did not say any more nonsense like "please take good care of her". After cupping his hands, he left in a natural and unrestrained manner.
Li Qingshan returned to the bottom of the lake. Begonia was sitting in front of the dressing table with her back facing him. Her eyes in the mirror slanted. "Are you familiar with him?"
Although the lake was deep, she was worried and listened attentively. Naturally, she could hear their conversation. She felt that their conversation was very special, like they were close friends.
"We've only met a few times." Li Qingshan came behind her and pressed his hands on her shoulders.
"You're quite generous." Begonia was originally afraid that he would misunderstand, but when she saw his relaxed and casual look, she was very dissatisfied. "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with him?"
Li Qingshan smiled and leaned over to her ear. "When I was outside just now, I was crazy with jealousy. But I believe in you." Her messy red hair blended into her long black hair. She felt a slight itch on her neck. She raised her eyebrows and said provocatively, "If I really change my mind and rekindle my old feelings, what will you do?"
"Kill him. If you can't end it, I'll end it for you."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad and hate you for the rest of my life?" The corner of Begonia's eyes raised slightly.
"No one will be sad forever. I think you're very easy to coax. Compared to being forgotten as a stranger, it's better to be hated for the rest of your life."
"How domineering! I'm not easy to coax! "Begonia bit her lips, but her eyes were filled with joy.
"Is that so?" Li Qingshan held her face and leaned over to kiss her lips. She did not resist and let the tip of his tongue open her pearly white teeth. She even took the initiative to respond with her fragrant tongue. Her delicate body leaned softly in his arms, and her plump breasts rose slightly.
When their lips parted, a strand of saliva flowed out.
Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Isn't this easy to coax?"
Begonia turned around. "I want to drink!"
"You still want to drink?" Li Qingshan smiled bitterly. Although he liked to drink, the number of times he drank tonight was a little too much.
"What, you don't want to?"
