Ye Weiyang suddenly vanished, and a shadow landed on Li Qingshan's shoulder before climbing up his neck and lifting his chin. It was her hand. A gentle, eerie voice rang out from behind Li Qingshan. "Sure. Your bloodline is very impressive. Although the chances of you giving birth to a child are a little low, as long as you try a few thousand — ten thousand times, you'll succeed one day!"
There were many hybrids in the Mist province. The bloodlines of humans, daemons, and even otherfolk mixed together. Good bloodlines could give birth to extremely powerful descendants. Otherfolk normally did not marry outsiders because their bloodlines were extremely powerful in the first place. However, they were still nowhere close to divine creatures like dragons and phoenixes.
Li Qingshan's face stiffened. Even when it came to taking liberties, he had to choose who he was dealing with. The Shadow Queen was not as "pure" as Gongyuan. However, they were two complete extremes. In the Crystal palace, he had to keep his chastity, but in the Shadow palace, he had to be a stud until he went crazy. If only he could balance them out slightly.
"I think … I think you should just forget about it! Though, it's not like I'm begging you to take action. You've already obtained the spoils. The Divine Fire tablets are the divine artifacts of the fire devourers. "
"Hehe, you fickle man. Though, you're still missing a Divine Fire tablet. If you give me the Fire Tablet of Man, we'll be even."
"I can't help you with that. The Fire Tablet of Man isn't in my hands. If you want it, go down and ask for it yourself!"
"It's not like I know him. Don't you know him very well? Help me out! "Ye Weiyang whispered into Li Qingshan's ear.
"There's nothing I can do about that. It's not like I planted him …" Before Li Qingshan had even finished talking, a speck of scarlet light flew out from below. It was Zhu Yan's Fire Tablet of Man.
Ye Weiyang caught it in a flash, and the three Divine Fire tablets gathered together again. They immediately began to flow with light. It was extremely profound.
Li Qingshan looked down and saw Feng Xiwu standing with his hands behind his back. "Don't be so wishy-washy. Since he's helped you deal with a great problem, you should return the favor. I'll give him the Fire Tablet of Man for you. You can treat it as a greeting gift."
"You're really generous. Can't you give me a greeting gift? You don't understand the situation at all. This woman is clearly extorting me!"
Li Qingshan said. He was a person who could clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges, but Ye Weiyang had only appeared here because she had been arranged by the Banyan Tree King. Moreover, she had not made a move in the previous dangerous situations, and had only appeared after the battle was over to snatch the head and collect the spoils of war. This made it difficult for him to feel that he had been indebted to someone.
Besides, he also wanted a treasure like the Divine Fire Token very much! If he could obtain the Fire Tablet of Man, then he would be able to find a way to obtain the Fire Tablet of Heaven and Fire Tablet of Earth. After all, night roamers did not use fire. An incomplete Divine Fire tablet was not particularly useful either, so he was out of ideas now.
"No matter how much inside information there is, all I care about is the truth. I'd rather be betrayed than betray others. This is also a lesson for you. You might possess some of the phoenix's bloodline, but you don't have the heart of a phoenix. How can a lowly person like you obtain the phoenix's legacy? "Feng Xiwu disagreed.
"I don't see eye to eye with you!" Li Qingshan exhaled. He finally understood why people with noble temperaments were often difficult to get along with. People like them all had their own set of principles. They could not tolerate even a single speck of dust in their eyes.
"Thanks. You really are the divine wutong tree that coexists with the phoenix after all. Your realm of cultivation really is different from some daemons." Ye Weiyang returned to the rock with a flash.
"Yes, yes, yes. You better leave now that you've taken advantage of me!" Li Qingshan could not be bothered with her.
"What do you think? Do you want them? Why don't you consider the offer from before?" Ye Weiyang tossed the three Divine Fire tablets into the air and caught them like she was juggling, glancing at Li Qingshan.
Sure enough, Li Qingshan considered it before turning her down righteously. "Don't even think about it! I only sell my skills, not my body!"
"Then forget it." Ye Weiyang stowed the Divine Fire tablets away and said sternly, "I'll be taking the night roamers of Savage mountain with me."
"Alright. I hope you can treat them well. I'll go visit them."
Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo's figures appeared in Li Qingshan's head. He was rather reluctant to part with them, but he still nodded in agreement. It was not because he was heartless. After spending so many years together, their relationship was not exactly as deep as the ocean, but it was still quite deep. He had not even called them over for the attack on Fire Melt mountain this time precisely because he did not want them to take the risk.
However, even if he kept them by his side, the time they spent together would be extremely limited. The environment of the Shadow palace was without a doubt more suitable for their cultivation, allowing them to go a little further. Only like that could he avoid hearing about their deaths in a century or even a millennium.
"The King of Savages' words are law. Who dares to disobey?" Ye Weiyang spoke jokingly, but after personally witnessing the battle, her attitude towards Li Qingshan had changed drastically without a doubt. She no longer respected him just because of the Banyan Tree King. Instead, she respected him from the bottom of her heart, treating him as an equal. She even looked forward to his future. His good impression of the night roamers might have become a precious friendship.
Her gaze shifted and landed on Ghost Shadow. Ghost Shadow shuddered and called out, "My king!"
"You can't force things," Li Qingshan advised. After all, Ghost Shadow had just risked his life for him once.
"Then I'll be waiting for the King of Savages in the Shadow palace." Ye Weiyang bowed and turned into a shadow, drifting away in the mist.
"Thank you, my king!" Ghost Shadow said in a hurry.
"If you want to stay on Savage mountain, then that's up to you. I'll give the position of King of Savages to whoever undergoes the third heavenly tribulation!" Li Qing waved his hand, telling them that there was no need for them to put on an act. "But let's get this out of the way first. Don't commit any crimes under my name.
The title of "King of Savages" was not particularly important to him. The so-called authority of unifying the south was meaningless either. It was fine if he acted like a tyrant and took in a few lackeys, but lackeys were for dealing with trouble. Those lackeys who specially used their big brother's name to cause trouble and make trouble for their big brother were better off dead!
"Yes." The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber shivered inside. The more Li Qingshan cared about the title of "King of Savages", the more benefits it would bring them. If someone in the south disobeyed them, they would be harming the dignity of the "King of Savages", but Li Qingshan did not care at all. This was a very difficult thing to do.
The three of them bid farewell and left. Li Qingshan gazed in the direction of Savage mountain in the north. Little Ann asked, "Aren't you going to go back and take a look?"
"You understand tacitly!" Li Qingshan said. Although he had played a role in their lives in the past, the path was far too long. This was not even some separation.
"Unshackled by a false reputation, unaffected by worldly affairs. Not bad, not bad! Originally, I thought you were ruthless and stubborn, so I was worried whether you had the right or not. Looking at it now, you really are someone with the phoenix's bloodline after all. As long as you reflect on yourself and start from the beginning, you can still shoulder this duty! "
Feng Xiwu's praise rang out, and Li Qingshan could not help but shake his head. This guy really was a ten-thousand-year-old daemon after all. He still had a discerning eye. "Ruthless to the bone, stubborn by nature". Wasn't that exactly the demonic nature of the tiger demon and ox demon? However, it was probably impossible for him to "reflect on himself and start from the beginning".
"Oi, you've been going on and on, but you still haven't told me what duty it is."
"You'll know once you come down."
"Give me a moment." Li Qingshan said before taking out a formation he had prepared and casting it down. The formation was called the Fire Gathering Formation of Southern Bing. It was only slightly above average, nowhere close to the original protective formation of the fire devourers, and it could only envelop the main peak of Fire Melt mountain. He could not care about the four hundred kilometers of volcanoes, but combined with the geographical advantage of Fire Melt mountain, it could be considered to be rather powerful.
After casting down the formation, Li Qingshan stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the mountains. The original rivers of lava had turned into lakes, glistening under the sunlight. However, the volcanoes that had been extinguished by the storm were currently reviving, spitting out black smoke again. Probably before long, this place would return to how it used to be. A storm could not change a geographical environment like this.
Raising his head, the white clouds drifted about. The world was vast. It had been many years since he had come to the Mist province, and he had gone through battles and battles time and time again. Finally, he stood here. An even more profound path lay ahead, leading straight to beyond the Nine Heavens.
Then come!
Li Qingshan smiled at Little Ann and leapt down, landing in front of the divine wutong tree.
"Tell me. What's the mission?"
On Savage mountain, under the great banyan tree.
"Sister, we've won!" Ye Liubo said in surprise and joy.
"Yeah, we've won." Ye Liusu smiled, but she sighed inside.
Under Li Qingshan's orders, none of them could leave Savage mountain. They could only wait here for news. Just now, the Banyan Tree King had sent them good news, as well as another piece of news. The Shadow Queen was about to arrive. Actually, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Shadow Queen would take them back to the Shadow palace. There was no need for them to worry about the fire devourers' revenge. However, this concern did not diminish.
"Alright, you can pack up in peace. Once the Shadow Queen arrives, we can set off," Ye Liubo said in relief.
"Aren't you going to wait for him to return?" Ye Liusu was rather surprised. Originally, she thought Ye Liubo would stay here and wait for him to bid farewell, or she might as well go to Fire Melt mountain to find him.
"He's taken down Fire Melt mountain after so much difficulty. He must be preparing to enter secluded cultivation right now. Why would he return?" Although they had not spent a lot of time together, Ye Liubo believed she understood his personality after so many years of fanatical worship. She also supported his decision.
"It's fine. We'll still see each other in the future. Let's not fall too far behind." Ye Liusu patted her shoulder in comfort.
"Sigh, I'm so envious of Little Ann!" Ye Liubo let out a gloomy sigh. Only then did she show deep reluctance to part with him.
Ye Liusu asked herself, Was she envious? Of course she was, but no matter how fanatical her worship, no matter how deep her feelings for him were, it was impossible for her to be as supercilious as her, completely following his path!
"There's nothing we can do about it, because we're still normal people!"
Ye Weiyang rushed over from Fire Melt mountain very soon. The night roamers were already ready to set off. She could not help but nod in satisfaction. "Let's go, my clansmen. The banquet is ready. It's time to return home!"
