In the Myriad Poison cult, Little Ann leaned on her sword with her right hand and held a seal with her left as she sat in the main seat of the hall. Pale-white flames burned in the depths of her eyes as if they were about to erupt, but they were suppressed by the buddhist light.
She did her best to maintain her composure, just like the surface of water, but below the surface was already surging. The corner of her eyes changed slightly, like she was in pain, like she was filled with regret, like she was constantly struggling.
The resplendent, swaying, golden buddhist light illuminated the gloomy hall.
Ru Xin gazed on from afar and was surprised, Just what is this cultivation method? Why does it give off the presence of a Monk King?
If the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty did not originate from buddhism, then it would have been completely crippled a long time ago under the Divine Nun of the South Sea's overwhelming power.
However, the White Bone Bodhisattva who created this cultivation method had originally gone from buddhism to the demonic. She had rejected everything about buddhism from a spiritual perspective, and she had just hunted down countless demonfolk as resources, which was why she could last until now.
Her emotions were mixed up, and even her memories from even earlier surged. She missed a certain face, the person called mother. When she thought up to there, she basically lost control as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Are … are you fine?" Ru Xin saw this and felt her heart ache for some reason. How could she not feel pained when she saw this tear-stained beauty? However, she composed herself very soon. This girl was not to be trifled with.
Little Ann gazed at Ru Xin through her hazy eyes, as if she could read her thoughts. Then, she asked gently as if she was rather embarrassed, "Big sister Ru Xin, can I eat you?"
"No! You! Can!" Ru Xin shivered inside, not because of the coldness of the question, but because in that moment, she actually felt an urge to agree.
Although she did not know what had happened to her body, after she gained natural emotions and expressions, the power of her charm seemed to have multiplied. Fortunately, she cultivated the [Heavenly Tome of Cloud Furnace] and had a heart of stone, which was why she was able to resist it.
"How stingy!" Little Ann pouted like a child who did not get her candy.
"Sorry, I'm very hard to eat." Ru Xin faked a smile, but found that her eyes gradually became clear. There seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, as if she had understood something.
"This … may be an opportunity!" Little Ann murmured with a hint of determination, which reminded Ru Xin of Li Qingshan.
The best resource for practising the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was actually not the demon hearts of demonfolk, but the śarīras of buddhist cultivators. It was just like how one had to study the buddhist dharma in order to comprehend the mysteries of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. From a certain perspective, this was a buddhist cultivation method.
The Divine Nun of the South Sea's lifetime of cultivation was definitely not poison to her. Instead, it was perfect nourishment. It could even give her the opportunity to experience the White Bone Bodhisattva's process of falling from buddhism to the demonic, allowing her to gain an even deeper comprehension of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was that her Path of White Bone and Great Beauty could not be completely crippled. This required tremendous resources, which was why he asked Ru Xin whether she could eat her or not! It was only after thinking this through that that she eased up. Her revenge prank had been deeply influenced by Li Qingshan's vile interests.
Qingshan, come back quickly! Little Ann and Ru Xin thought at the same time.
At that moment, Li Qingshan did not just feel coldness, but also murderousness. He never expected Gongyuan to react so drastically when she heard that he had a son. He thought, Don't tell me this ice woman is interested in me! Hehe, my charm sure is hard to resist!
However, his narcissistic thoughts came to an end, as the murderousness grew heavier and heavier. It was about to become actual killing intent.
"Wait, he's not my biological son. He's my godson, my godson!"
"Godson?" Gongyuan asked.
As a result, Li Qingshan explained the whole story. Gongyuan was surprised as well. Phoenixes actually still existed in this world, and the divine wutong tree had actually trapped him in the phoenix's nest for the sake of hatching the phoenix's embryo. He had actually succeeded.
If it were not for the fact that their minds were connected, she definitely would have treated this as a story that he had made up. However, the frozen sea abyss showed no signs of thawing.
"What, are you still dissatisfied with something?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Do you know what conduct they despise the most among the Merfolk?" Gongyuan said coldly.
"It's probably everything the fire devourers do." Li Qingshan blinked his eyes.
"It's the heartless, fickle, and fickle scoundrels. If you were all alone, then so be it, but you once said you're already engaged, so you shouldn't be so wanton and casual. It makes me look down on you. " Gongyuan grabbed Li Qingshan's hand around her waist and pulled it away forcefully, pressing it against Li Qingshan's chest. With a firm push, the Ice shattered loudly.
Li Qingshan nodded and rubbed his chin. "That's quite reasonable, but what you're implying is that if I'm not engaged, or if I'm involved with another woman, you can do whatever you want to me?"
"That's not necessarily impossible, but unfortunately, you'll never be able to do it! In this aspect, even the fire devourer that my sister is fond of is much better than you. "Gongyuan sneered in disdain.
"Forget it. Even if you're willing, why wouldn't I be willing? Even if a man is infatuated with you, just how much sincerity can you give me? You have to consider your own cultivation, you have to consider the development of the Merfolk of the South sea, and even your dignity as a queen is more important than that man! Isn't that fickle? You're not your sister. Pursuing true love or whatever is just wishful thinking. "
Li Qingshan laughed aloud, shaking up the abyssal sea. Originally, he thought Gongyuan would fly into a rage, but he never expected her to actually reveal an extremely rare smile after a moment of thought, although there was also a hint of a sigh. You're right. I'll never be infatuated with someone like my sister. I really don't have the right to request anything from others. " She said sternly, "That's why let's cut to the chase. Let's talk about how we can make use of each other. What do you want me to do?"
"Help me purge the demons and kill a few Demon Kings!" Li Qingshan smiled, revealing his fangs.
"What do I get in return?" Gongyuan shivered inside. The demon plague of the Mist province was extremely powerful, and fighting Demon Kings was even more dangerous. The King of Southern Yue's estate had asked her time and time again, but she had turned them all down.
"There's nothing at all." Li Qingshan laid out his hands.
"Li Qingshan, are you messing with me?" Gongyuan squeezed that out from between her teeth.
"If there's nothing in return, then it's not making use of each other!" Li Qingshan stared straight into her eyes. "Just treat it as a favour from a friend. Is that alright?"
Gongyuan was mildly surprised. She avoided his gaze and sank into her thoughts for a while. "Seeing as you'll still be of some use in the future, I'll help you out this time. Remember this kindness well and return it tenfold in the future!" After a pause, she added, "Also, we're not friends!"
"Sigh, I know you want to be my wife!" Li Qingshan murmured rather narcissistically.
"What did you say!?"
"Nothing. Alright, your majesty. I'll do as you say. Time waits for no one. Let's set off!"
Gongyuan returned to the Crystal palace and gave a few instructions before hurrying off to the Mist province with Li Qingshan.
Along the way, Li Qingshan asked, "Do you know Ye Weiyang?"
"Who doesn't know the Shadow Queen?"
"Why don't we call her again? That'll give us a better chance."
Originally, Li Qingshan was considering going to the Shadow palace to find Ye Weiyang if Gongyuan refused to help him. This king of assassins from the Mist province was also an extremely powerful helper. It was just that she would have to bleed a little, but as long as she could help Little Ann get through this, it was nothing.
"Then go ask her. I'll return to the South sea myself!" Gongyuan came to a halt and said coldly.
Although they were all "godfolk", the conflict between the seven ancient divine kingdoms ran extremely deep. The fire devourers and merpeople were not the only ones with deep grievances. For example, the accumulated grievances between the Giant Lumberfolk and the Fire Devouring Folk were no less than the former.
Merpeople and night roamers were both dominated by women, but that did not mean they could be friends happily. Night roamers were renowned for their fondness for scheming and scheming, purposefully inciting war among the various races in order to benefit from it. In the end, they could achieve their objective of weakening the six other divine kingdoms. Of course, it was not just night roamers who had this ambition.
As a result, the various divine kingdoms had always been a place where kings did not meet kings. As soon as they did, there would be war.
Although Gongyuan loathed Li Qingshan's carelessness, she could not help but admit that she did trust Li Qingshan. This guy could clearly distinguish between kindness and grievances, and he was straightforward. He was especially reliable in dangerous battles, helping her block fatal attacks more than once. And, there was an old saying from ancient times that even dead night roamers were not worthy of trust.
"Yeah, I've considered it. I feel like working together is enough." Li Qingshan immediately changed his mind. If there was free and useful labour, who would pay for it?
Gongyuan's face eased up slightly, and she caught up to Li Qingshan again, only to hear him shake his head and sigh. "Sure enough, there are no women who aren't jealous!"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
Dark clouds filled the sky, sweeping over from the south and rushing through the demonic clouds condensed from demon qi. Afterwards, heavy snow fell. This was a rare sight in the Mist province.
The demonfolk all raised their heads. A beautiful, hexagonal snowflake drifted through the air and landed on the tip of a demonfolk's nose.
The demonfolk only felt the tip of his nose turn cold before losing all of his senses, turning into a translucent ice sculpture.
"Enemy!" The demonfolk on the side only called out that word before following in his footsteps. The snowflakes seemed to be intelligent. None of them landed on the ground, drifting towards the demonfolk one by one.
Coldness permeated the air. The thick mist turned into a layer of frost, and the noisy demon cavern became cold and silent.
The Demon Commanders all demonified, but they did not launch an attack. Instead, they turned around and fled towards the demon cavern.
However, above the demon cavern, the snowflakes rapidly gathered and stuck together, turning into a huge snowman.
The snowman did not seem terrifying. As a matter of fact, it was rather simple and adorable. A smile hung on its round head, but with a casual swing of its round fist, it sent two Demon Commanders flying.
A black spirit turtle hovered in the thick, snowy clouds. Li Qingshan and Gongyuan were in there, working together to power the Heart of the Abyss.
"The snowman is pretty cute!" Li Qingshan glanced at Gongyuan in surprise. The snowman's strength had nothing to do with its appearance. It was completely controlled by the caster. He never thought she would have such a "normal" side to her.
"These demonfolk are only used to probe the reactions of the various factions in the nine provinces. How can they be considered a true demon disaster?" Gongyuan said. The godfolk were far more experienced with dealing with demonfolk than the humans and daemons.
"The snowman is pretty cute."
"That's enough from you!"
At this moment, there was a boom, and the snowman collapsed, scattering into the air as snowflakes.
