"Are my words that disgusting? You're purposefully provoking me, aren't you? If you really want to die, I'll send you off right now! "
Li Qingshan was taken aback at first before becoming furious. Just what kind of physique did a second heavenly tribulation cultivator have? How could he vomit so easily? He was clearly purposefully trying to disgust him. Damn it.
"N- no …"
Ghost Shadow could not speak of his troubles. Surely he could not say it was all because of the female night roamers. Li Qingshan definitely would not believe him, and he was reluctant to mention the greatest humiliation of his life.
Actually, he had planned on committing suicide as soon as he removed the blood oath. Even if the blood oath would bite him, he would not care. However, after going through another nightmare, he suddenly felt like he could endure any pain and hardship in life. Since he had already endured the most difficult period of his life, what was there to be afraid of?
Li Qingshan's words had basically given him a sliver of hope, giving him some will to live.
"Forget it. I won't hold grudges against you. Just serve me well and atone for your crimes! Oh right, you're also a night roamer … "
Li Qingshan asked around and learnt that Ghost Shadow came from the largest and only night roamer clan in the Mist province, the Deep Shadow clan. The leader of the clan was known as the Shadow Queen.
When Li Qingshan listened to the Banyan Tree King's analysis of the situation in the Mist province, he had heard this name before. He had even asked about it out of curiosity, but the Banyan Tree King was reluctant to reveal it to others, so he was unable to gain a deeper understanding. All he knew was that she led the largest organisation of assassins in the Mist province, the Shadow Palace.
As for why he had escaped, Ghost Shadow was reluctant to talk about it. Li Qingshan did not ask about it either. He just thought it was because he could not stand the chauvinism of night roamers. "Since you're also a night roamer, stay with the night roamers under me for a while. They probably need you!"
They need me! Ghost Shadow's expression changed. He seemed like he was about to vomit again. He would rather be sent to assassinate the most dangerous of enemies than see a single female night roamer again, but he could not turn him down. In the end, all he could do was agree reluctantly.
… …
In the Asura Field. In a tree hole high up in the great banyan tree.
Ghost Shadow sat with the three sisters, Ye Liusu, Ye Liubo, and Ye Liuxing. They asked and answered questions.
Although several days had passed, the disgust in Ghost Shadow's heart had yet to dissipate. He was almost unwilling to look at the three of them directly. He wanted to play the role of a teacher. Teaching them the cultivation method of night roamers was the mission Li Qingshan had given him. He could not turn it down or brush it off.
The only thing he was glad about was the attitude of the three of them.
The one with the highest cultivation, the one called Ye Liuxing, had a very cold expression the entire time. There was a sliver of disdain in her eyes. He wasn't afraid of being despised. Anyway, he was already used to it in the Deep Shadow Clan. As long as they didn't look at him with "that kind of" expression, he would be fine.
However, Ye Liuxing would glance at "Ye Liusu" from time to time with a "that" gaze, which made him feel very relieved. "So you're not interested in the opposite sex."
Although Ye Liusu's cultivation wasn't high, she was still a Saint. However, he seemed to be the leader of the three. From their conversation, he learnt that she was even the leader of this clan. When he asked what the clan was called, Ye Liusu was taken aback. She thought about it for a while and said, "Yue Ying!"
Ghost Shadow used his experience with countless women to discover that Ye Liusu seemed to be inexperienced. He discovered that Ye Liusu did not seem to have any experience. Was she the same as Ye Liuxing, someone who liked the same sex? It did not seem like it!
Among the night roamers, this was basically as unbelievable as a child who had grown up in a brothel and was still a virgin at the age of eighty.
Among the three of them, Ye Liusu was the most focused. She constantly asked Ghost Shadow questions.
After being oppressed by Helicoverpa Rosa underground for several thousand years, she had lost a lot of important information on the cultivation method, let alone any progress. Ghost Shadow's arrival was basically a welcome rain after a long drought. Even if it went without saying, it would be of great assistance to her current cultivation.
She was extremely curious about the Deep Shadow clan. She never thought there would actually be such a powerful clan of night roamers in the world. She constantly asked the Shadow Queen how she led them, frowning in thought from time to time as if she did not agree.
However, the person who worried Ghost Shadow the most was still Ye Liubo. It was said that she was the one Li Qingshan trusted the most. She seemed like a typical female night roamer.
Back in Deep Shadow city, women like her would often be the most fearless when they humiliated him, which still lingered in his heart.
"You're saying … you were thrown in here by a person called Li Qingshan … not North Moon?" Ye Liubo asked.
Ghost Shadow had only learnt from their conversation that their master was actually the North Moon that the Dragon King Of The Sea hunted down. All he could think about his current fate was "serves you right". Even the Ten Daemon Kings could not kill him, yet he tried to assassinate him. What else could he do other than serve him right?
What left him even more surprised was the Banyan Tree King's attitude towards Li Qingshan. According to Ye Liubo, the Banyan Tree King actually referred to Li Qingshan as a "fellow cultivator". Even though the Banyan Tree King was known for his peace and neutrality, not just any random person had the right to be referred to as a "fellow cultivator" by him.
Ghost Shadow deeply doubted this. He must have just dug a great banyan tree into the Asura Field. With the Banyan Tree King's personality, he probably won't do anything for a measly branch, but if this makes it out, there'll be a show to watch.
The Banyan Tree King's status in the cultivation community of the Mist province was so great that it was unimaginable to cultivators from other provinces. He was like a benevolent grandfather. Children were not too afraid of him. Normally, they would even climb onto his back and tug at his beard, but if someone tried to harm him, the children would definitely leap forward and fight them.
However, if someone tried to harm him, the children would definitely leap forward and fight them. Many of these children had undergone the third heavenly tribulation. Even Li Qingshan had to repay his kindness.
"Oi, why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you!" Ye Liubo said impatiently.
"I can't answer that," said Ghost Shadow. This was the restriction of the blood oath. He could not purposefully expose Li Qingshan's secret.
"You idiot, don't you understand? This is his other identity. He uses it to move about in the human world, "Ye Liuxing said coldly.
"Is that so … You're the idiot!" Ye Liubo bellowed furiously. Ye Liuxing smiled coldly.
"Alright, stop arguing. Fellow Ghost, please continue explaining the fifth transformation of the Night Roaming God!"
This was within Li Qingshan's expectations. Since even Yu Wufeng and the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber knew about his dual identity, there was nothing wrong with telling them. Moreover, this was different from exposing the North Moon's identity under Li Qingshan's name. He did not have that many qualms.
Sure enough, since they had never had any contact with "Li Qingshan" before, they were not too surprised by this identity. The North Moon had done far too many shocking things. Disguising himself as a human and becoming a White Hawk commander really was nothing.
In short, after spending some time with them, Ghost Shadow was convinced that the three women did not have any romantic thoughts towards him. The pressure he felt decreased drastically, and he definitely did not feel any sense of loss at all.
He had already slept with all the women he should have slept with and should not have slept with in his ten lifetimes. From today onwards, he would sever his emotions. There were only two things that could interest him, which were assassination and cultivation!
At this moment, Li Qingshan appeared in the tree hole. Only then did Ghost Shadow see his other form. He had scarlet hair and eyes, and he was peerlessly handsome.
"Master!" Ye Liubo immediately threw herself over.
"Looks like you're about to undergo the second heavenly tribulation. Liusu, what's wrong? You don't want me to hug you anymore?"
Li Qingshan picked her up with a smile before extending his hand towards Ye Liusu. Ye Liusu placed her hand in his, and he pulled her gently. She leaned into his arms and could not help but say, "Thank you!"
What was she thanking him for? She was thanking him for bringing Ghost Shadow here, allowing her to take a step closer to her dream. She was thanking him for his warm embrace right now. Perhaps these two feelings had already merged together completely, such that they could not be separated. She yearned for the night roamers to love one another, instead of killing one another. She also yearned for his warm embrace, instead of his cold gaze and vigilance.
Li Qingshan whispered into her ear, "If you say something like that again, I'm going to spank you."
Ye Liusu's delicate face reddened slightly. She lowered her head and said nothing more. It made Ye Liuxing's face become colder and colder, but there was nothing she could do. Not only was he so powerful that she could not reach him right now, but as a bystander, she understood the best that Ye Liusu had already bet everything on him.
Ghost Shadow lowered his head and stared at the wood grain on the floor. It was not because he was concerned about "not looking at indecent things", but because this scene had stirred up far too many unpleasant memories. He was like a person who had eaten so much meat that he vomited and swore he would never touch any meat again. Even when he saw someone else eating lavishly, he would still feel very uncomfortable. He would even feel a sense of sorrow. You have no idea how disgusting this is!
Li Qingshan then asked Ghost Shadow, "Once they undergo the second heavenly tribulation, we'll have to prepare for a big fight."
Ghost Shadow lowered his head. "If the four of us work together, there'll only be a handful of places in the south that can stop us."
"Very good. We'll be making a quick move when the time comes. Alright, I won't disturb you any further."
Li Qingshan was just about to leave the Asura Field, but Ye Liubo wrapped her arms around him firmly, refusing to let go of him.
Li Qingshan patted her back. "Be a good girl. Cultivation comes first!"
"It's already been so long. If you still don't keep me company, how am I supposed to be in the mood to cultivate? I might as well just die," Ye Liubo grumbled.
"Don't spout nonsense," said Li Qingshan.
Ye Liusu said, "Fellow Ghost, let's stop here for today!"
Ghost Shadow was more than happy to do that. Although the attitudes of Ye Liusu and her sisters did not pressure him too much, his disgust towards women, especially female night roamers, had already become a form of hatred. He could not get over it, nor did he want to get over it. Not to mention that he had yet to recover from his wounds completely.
"You can return to your dwelling and rest!" Li Qingshan waved his hand and released Ghost Shadow from the Asura Field. He asked Ye Liubo in his arms, "How do you want me to keep you company?"
"Master, you already know the answer!"
Ye Liubo grumbled coquettishly. Without anyone else present, her expression was basically seductive. She gently licked his ear and rubbed her full chest against his arm.
