Outside the Fragrant Flower market, Chrysanthemum Fragilis and a group of clansmen watched as the envoy left with a long group. A third of them were shamans with a certain level of strength, while the remaining two-thirds were children below the age of fifteen. Li Qingshan was among them. Perhaps it was for a test or training, but they all walked. The envoy walked at the very front, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. He seemed rather graceful like an immortal.
"Sir envoy, you truly are extraordinarily graceful. No wonder the holy mother has sent you here for such an important job," someone praised.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis sneered slightly. This job is important? He clearly has no future, which is why he's been sent here to waste time! What bullshit envoy? He's just a lustful old man. In the past few days, he's found plenty of women in the clan to keep him company, yet he's still interested in her. Why doesn't he look at how many years he has left?
Her only worry was A 'Lu, but A' Hong and A 'Zi had both joined the White Lotus Sect now, while A' Hong had already arrived at the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect and become a formal disciple. Even an old coot like him would not dare to go too far. Not to mention, he was here too!
The envoy glanced back from afar and waved his hand at Chrysanthemum Fragilis gracefully. He also sneered inside. A mere matriarch is actually turning down my request. Does she really think she's some chaste woman? Xianghua Zi, that bitch, is bold enough to look down on an old man like me after she hooked up with the altar lord.
He could not help but glance at Xianghua Lu. He had to make up for all the vexation he had suffered from the mother and daughter pair with this little girl. It would be easy to coax a little girl who had yet to experience the world into bed. As long as he did not use force, even if her two sisters found out, they would not be able to do anything to him!
Xianghua Lu was completely unaware of all of this. She currently stared at Li Qingshan cautiously and with hostility. Li Qingshan did not look away as he walked forward slowly. "Are there flowers on my face?"
"There's shit!" Xianghua Lu said with a huff. He had clearly acted so boldly and rashly towards her in the hot spring, yet he actually acted as if it was only natural. He was practically detestable to the extreme, and her mother just had to say that she had to discuss everything with him. He really could not tell right from wrong. Who here did not treat her better than him?
As the youngest daughter of Chrysanthemum Fragilis, Xianghua Lu was born beautiful and adorable, so she was the center of attention in the team. All the barbarians, big and small, treated her with great respect. Some of the bolder ones even sang love songs and gave her all kinds of gifts. She felt that the outside world was not as dangerous as her mother had described it to be, except for this bastard with shit on his face.
Li Qingshan turned around and smiled. "Then you're a dog!"
"How dare you call me a dog!" Xianghua Lu was taken aback before tugging at his ear furiously, but Li Qingshan grabbed her casually. Xianghua Lu struggled a few times, but she was unable to break free, so she just allowed him to drag her away. She only muttered and cursed. Her face was slightly red, but she did not seem angry at all.
Li Qingshan only treated it as a gentle breeze. Actually, in the past few days, because he was worried about Ru Xin, he did not really go out of his way to provoke Xianghua Lu. It was just that this girl came to him time and time again, so he treated it as a way to relieve his boredom.
Countless hostile gazes shot over from the surroundings. If it were not for the envoy at the front, there probably would have been quite a few people who would have stepped in to save the damsel in distress already. The older shamans shook their heads gently. This girl was clearly interested in this pretty boy, or why would she be unable to break free with her strength? After all, she was a true shaman.
A cold light flashed through the envoy's eyes. This ignorant kid. Did he think he could touch the meat in his mouth just because he had some talent?
"Kid, you're called Goldie A 'yue. Did the Bone Eating barbarians eat your parents? I wonder if they ate their hands or feet first, "a young shaman with paint on his face said maliciously.
Li Qingshan considered it before spitting out a single word, "Piss off."
The young shaman's face changed drastically. With a swish, he drew his blade. "What did you say?"
"Stay further away."
"Oi, aren't you purposefully bullying him? What does the death of A 'yue's parents have to do with you? "Xianghua Lu frowned.
"You're hiding behind a woman, you coward!" The young shaman spat viciously and turned around to make his way to the front of the group. He sensed that the envoy was right beside him, and his anger had already vanished. He whispered, "Sir, I've already looked into everything. Goldie fort does indeed have a person called Goldie A 'yue, but he's not this age at all. I tried talking to him a few times, but he ignored me. Even when I tried to provoke him, he wouldn't say anything. There's something off about this kid's origins!"
"I'll deal with him tonight!"
Li Qingshan blinked his eyes. He had already sensed that there would be some setbacks on this trip, but the setbacks did not seem to be related to these barbarians. This was a reaction from the spirit turtle's spirituality.
The sun set and the moon rose up. The bonfire rose up and blazed fiercely.
After moving through the rainforest for an entire day, the shamans could still endure it, but the children had become utterly exhausted a long time ago.
Li Qingshan sat under a large, gloomy tree far away from the bonfire without any change in expression. Xianghua Lu sat right beside him and said proudly, "If it weren't for my fragrance, you would have been bitten to death by venomous insects already!"
Li Qingshan only laid down casually and used her legs as a pillow without holding back at all. He crossed his legs and assumed a comfortable posture.
Xianghua Lu was stunned by his shamelessness. She furiously extended her hand and pinched his face, but her movements were far too gentle. It was more like intimacy than punishment, and her expression gradually became sweet. Ever since that day in the Unaging Spring of Youth, a shadow had appeared in her heart. He was the first man who had kissed and caressed her like a woman, even though he was just a child.
She never thought she would see him again a few days later, and the days they spent together made the shadow constantly deepen. She only felt like he was different from anyone she had ever seen in her life. He seemed to glow as he stood in the crowd, able to outshine everyone else in the surroundings.
At this moment, a song rang out from beside the bonfire. It was a folk song about a young man courting a lady. Ten days ago, Li Qingshan still found it rather interesting, but now, he felt like he was sick of it, especially when the song was directed at Xianghua Lu beside him.
"He sings so well. Do you know how to sing?" Xianghua Lu giggled when she saw how impatient he was.
"Of course!" Li Qingshan said. In the past, he had even made prince Si Qing's face darken.
"Why don't you sing it?"
"If you want to listen, sure. Come, give me a kiss!"
"I don't believe you. You definitely don't know how to sing. I won't fall for it!"
Li Qingshan raised his head and kissed her lightly on the lips. Without waiting for her to come back to her senses, he began to sing softly, "Under the moonlight, the Phoenix Tail Bamboo, soft and beautiful like a green mist. The good lady in the bamboo house, dazzling like Ye Mingzhu …"
When the voice came out, even Li Qingshan himself felt that it was strange. The song by the bonfire immediately quieted down. Everyone turned their heads and perked up their ears to listen. They had never heard such a moving song before. It was beautiful and clear like the sounds of nature.
When the song stopped, everyone was still immersed in the song. Xianghua Lu, who was very close, had an expression of infatuation on her face. Li Qingshan shook his head. "The voice of a young phoenix is clearer than that of an old phoenix. This can also be considered one of the benefits of Phoenix Transformation!"
"It's too beautiful! Where did this song come from? Why have I never heard it before?" Xianghua Lu came back to her senses and said excitedly. She had completely forgotten her anger from being forcefully kissed.
"There's a lot you haven't heard before!" Li Qingshan yawned. Suddenly, the tip of his ears twitched as if he was listening to something!
At this moment, a group of people approached. They were barbarians of various sizes. They stared at Li Qingshan with vicious eyes. In the past few days, Li Qingshan had never spoken to anyone. Even if someone tried to talk to him, he would ignore them. He had nothing to say to these people. In the eyes of the bystanders, he was arrogant and out of the group, which made everyone unhappy.
They had been holding back all this time because they feared the envoy of White Lotus. Now that they had received a hint, they all leapt out. The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in their hearts, burning even hotter than the bonfire.
Xianghua Lu said, "What do you want?"
"Goldie A 'yue, we want to challenge you!" "A' Lu, this has nothing to do with you. Go away!"
Li Qingshan laid down leisurely on Xianghua Lu's legs and said indifferently, "I can see that you're all filled with death, so let's just forget about it tonight!" His gaze landed on the white-bearded, white-haired envoy of White Lotus beside the bonfire. His face also seemed eerie. He was afraid to directly use force against Xianghua Lu who had a background, but that did not mean he was afraid to lay his hands on a kid who was plotting to infiltrate the White Lotus Sect!
"You're about to die, yet you're still so stubborn. Cut him down!" The barbarians drew their blades with a swish and swung them down, using the method they were best at to deal with the problem.
Xianghua Lu was shocked. She had no idea why this group of people who were usually so friendly would suddenly become so vicious, trying to kill A 'yue. She was about to strike! The young shaman Li Qingshan had scolded away had already made his way over silently, planning to seize this opportunity to stop her.
Blades flashed and blood sprayed. Suddenly, there were miserable cries. For some reason, the barbarians who had tried to slash at Li Qingshan had all landed their blades on themselves. They rolled around on the ground in pain, and two of them had even directly cut themselves to death.
With that, everyone was stunned. Xianghua Lu had no idea what had happened, while the young shaman was even more confused. The people around the bonfire were even more confused. Only the envoy's expression changed drastically. In that instant, he seemed to see a mirror.
The Watermirror's Image had the effect of reflecting the enemy's attacks. Li Qingshan shook his head. Using it on these barbarians was basically overkill.
"What did you do?" The young shaman bellowed at Li Qingshan in a threatening manner.
The envoy stood up as well and said righteously, "Brat, how dare you harm the foundation of our White Lotus Sect? I won't let you off today. Everyone, take him down!"
The young shaman was about to take action when a gust of foul wind swept over with a powerful suction force, sucking him into the darkness behind the tree.
A huge python covered in patterns of money, radiating with daemon qi, extended its head out from behind the tree. Its neck wriggled and it swallowed the shaman.
"There's a daemonic beast!" The barbarians cried out.
"No, it's a daemon!" Li Qingshan corrected.
The snake daemon suddenly turned its head and stared at Li Qingshan and Xianghua Lu with its cold eyes. Its forked tongue flickered as it approached them.
Xianghua Lu felt all the blood in her body freeze. She had only heard of the terrors of daemons, but she had never seen one. Now that she had seen one tonight, she felt it was even more shocking than the legends.
Li Qingshan waved his hand impatiently. "Piss off and eat them!"
