AST 1252 – There’s A Reward For Winning, Killing You Will Just Be Like Stepping On An Ant

Qing Shui felt very bemused, because the lady in his arms was the Eldest Princess. Moreover, it was in such a situation and she was feeling so satisfied…

Qing Shui felt this lady embracing him tightly and not letting him move. However, she continued to twitch rhythmically and he could only hug her until she was completely satisfied…

Right now, Qing Shui felt like he was on fire. However, what could he possibly do? This woman wasn’t thinking of doing anything at all. However, he hadn’t expected that it would end so quickly that he couldn’t even fully enjoy the feeling of having their bodies rub each other. He had wanted to stay in this state for a longer period of time since it would be another kind of enjoyment by itself and more of a mental impact.

After all, to come into contact with a lady, especially an unrivaled beauty like her, imparted feelings of lethal seduction and great enjoyment in looking at her expression.

Suddenly, Qing Shui felt a pain in his shoulder and an aggrieved voice rang out, “You’re a rascal!”

With that, the Eldest Princess ran away and her beautiful silhouette disappeared very quickly. However, she had appeared to be a little anxious. Qing Shui saw that his lower part was still upright, but there was a small area of moisture. This was her…

Qing Shui knew that the Eldest Princess must have gone to wash up and change her clothes. He didn’t know why he had this urge but thinking about it made it feel as if he were in a dream. Helpless, he could only forcibly suppress the nefarious flames in his body.

He could not get that woman’s misted and distant eyes out of his mind. Her expression when she was having a spasm made him almost lose his cool and make him do her there and then. He knew that in this life, he would have to be entangled with this woman.

He still couldn’t resist beautiful women. He admits that he liked her, but yet, at the same time, felt that he didn’t do the other women he had justice. Such contradictions made Qing Shui feel uncertain about whether to proceed or step back at times like these.

All of them were so outstanding. Although they hadn’t said anything, Qing Shui knew that no women would be willing to share a man with another. Although this world had polygamous system, Qing Shui had a very strong view of monogamy.

In his previous life, he had dreamt of having multiple wives and concubines, but in that society, no one could openly get married to two women and give them both equal status. Therefore, he had always felt that he hadn’t been fair to his women.

However, now that things had already come to this, it was impossible for him to insist on having only one wife. This was their destiny. This was also why Qing Shui had kept on telling himself that he mustn’t increase the number of women he had. He wanted to just pay the current debt and not add onto it.

Men and women were like yin and yang in the world. Without either side, the conditions for continued existence would not be fulfilled. Yin and yang innately had an attraction to each other. People tended to say that humans were creatures of food and l.u.s.t. This just showed how important l.u.s.t was.

The intersection and merging of yin and yang was a mysterious feeling. It would bring about a mysterious energy. That exchange of the two"s mental state and souls would make one feel as if he were in the heavens and forget about everything else.

Shaking his head, Qing Shui felt that everything from earlier felt so unrealistic. If not for the lingering scent that had been left behind, as well as the physical evidence left on him, he would have thought it was just an illusion. After waiting for a while but not seeing the Eldest Princess come out, Qing Shui knew that she must have felt too embarra.s.sed.

However, even if she didn’t come out, Qing Shui could go and look for her. Qing Shui now felt that this lady was very beautiful. He slowly headed for the room the Eldest Princess had run into.

This was his home. She had an interspatial silk sachet and thus could wash up and change here. Moreover, the Eldest Princess had gone to Qing Shui’s room before. When he saw that the door was tightly closed, he knocked softly.

The door opened very quickly. The Eldest Princess had changed into a golden phoenix pleated dress set. It was very bright and charming, and complimented the pink blush on her cheeks and the faint mist in her usually clear eyes. She took a look at Qing Shui and then avoided his gaze.

“Sister Su, are you alright…”

Qing Shui felt that his question really was something.

As expected, the Eldest Princess twisted one of his ears, “You little rascal. What can possibly be wrong with me…”

“If you’re fine, that’s great, that’s great. I’ll go cook some food for your supplement!”

“You’re not allowed to bring that up.” When had the Eldest Princess been so embarra.s.sed before?

Qing Shui hugged her and said softly next to her ears, chuckling, “Did it feel good earlier?”

The Eldest Princess s.h.i.+vered, “You’re not allowed to act so frivolous to me. What happened earlier should just be considered a reward for you.”

“I like this reward. If I am to win, you must reward me.” Qing Shui appeared insatiable.

“If you are to win, I’ll give you a reward. Fight well tomorrow. I’m heading off!”

The Eldest Princess left without any delay, disappearing from Qing Shui’s room.

After the Eldest Princess left, Qing Shui let out a long exhale. In the future, she would definitely become his. She would also become the head of the Heaven Secrets Academy and might even head out to the other three continents to vie for the top spot.

…

At noon the next day, a huge crowd was gathered near the Heaven Secrets Arena and it was an extremely lively scene. No one had expected to be able to watch another battle at the Heaven Secrets Arena within such a short time. Therefore, they were all very excited.

This time around, Qing Shui didn’t come very late. On the contrary, he came 15 minutes early. He stayed with the people from the Breezing Wind Veranda. There were now fifty percent more people in the Breezing Wind Veranda compared to last time. Qing Shui told the Eldest Princess to recruit new people, and to set higher conditions for joining. Another goal was for her to build up the cohesion in the Breezing Wind Veranda and let them feel like a big family.

Qing Shui was the first to appear on the Heaven Secrets Arena. He then cupped his fists together toward the people below the arena.

"Today, I am here because the Saint Child Band, the Lord Sect, and the Left Moon Hall have issued me a challenge. I won’t say much. Each partic.i.p.ant will be responsible for his own life and death today. The people who lose can choose to agree to the winner’s condition in exchange for having their lives spared. Of course, it will be dependent on the winner to decide whether to accept it or not. If you can afford to lose, then you still have a chance for regrets. I don’t like to be disturbed, but some people have been jumping around in front of me for quite a while.” Qing Shui said directly, further pus.h.i.+ng the limits with the other few groups.

“Arrogant. The other time, it was only by luck that he managed to get a draw against the Saint Child. Does he really think he’s that good?”

“He’s too arrogant. What right do you have to say that people are jumping around in front of you? You think too highly of yourself.”

“Later, he probably won’t even know how he died.”

“Qing Shui, we believe in you. Defeat them! They’re just people who are undeserving of their reputations!”

“That’s right. They only know how to bully others on the account of their own reputation. Cripple them!”

…

Fu Yantian once again landed on the Heaven Secrets Arena. His gaze as he looked at Qing Shui was still considered calm.

“You must be careful today. This time around, I won’t be holding back.” Fu Yantian looked at Qing Shui and directly drew out that War Halberd.

“If you lose, get your entire Saint Child Band to obey the Breezing Wind Veranda from now on.” Qing Shui said softly.

Fu Yanting was stunned. The reason Qing Shui had said this was because everyone could hear what he said. The person who went back on his words must pay a price. Another reason was because Qing Shui felt that Fu Yantian was still considered a man of his word. If he could surrender and pay his allegiance, Qing Shui would naturally have his ways of subduing him. Moreover, Qing Shui also knew that an arrogant person like him would definitely not surrender.

“What if you lose?”

“If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Alright. The people here will all be our witnesses. Let’s start!” Fu Yantian took a step forward and said.

“Make your move. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to do so later.” Qing Shui’s words caused Fu Yantian’s mouth to twitch uncontrollably. He seemed to have said this before in the previous battle.

“You don’t know what’s good for you!”

Fu Yantian unleashed all his prowess, activated the Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation, and unleashed an explosive bright glow. The War Halberd in his hand became increasingly translucent and glimmered in light, exuding a sharp killing intent.

A single spear to break the soul, separating man from world!(Need reference from c1241)

The Saint Child just used the powerful attack he had used previously.

“I’m going to see how you’re going to fend this off. How are you going to fight me if you’re not bringing out your demonic beast?”

This time around, Qing Shui didn’t call out the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant. Therefore, Fu Yantian attempted to cripple Qing Shui in a single move.

Big Dipper Sword!

Eight-Eight Divine Nebula Formation！

Seventh Wave of the Great Golden Buddha Palm!

Confinement!

Seven huge golden palms formed the shape of a lotus, confining Fu Yantian and his War Halberd.

Qing Shui’s current confinement abilities would not only be able to deal with Fu Yantian’s abilities of 2,000 suns, but also be able to contain someone who had a strength of 4,000 suns. The Eight-Eight Divine Nebula Formation wasn’t something that was just for viewing.

“Killing you now will just be like stepping down on an ant!” Qing Shui looked at the confined Fu Yantian and said calmly.

Fu Yantian was now stunned. To think that he was confined by the opponent’s spirit energy. How could he continue the fight? For him to be confined by the opponent’s spirit energy would require the opponent to have a spirit energy that was a lot stronger than his. Since Qing Shui could confine him, it would be easy for him to kill him as well.

It had only been a few days. How could he have gotten so strong? Could it be that he hadn’t gone all out the previous time…

“Fu Yantian, make your choice. Do you want to continue the fight or submit to the Breezing Wind Veranda?”

Silence fell, leaving only erratic breaths and astonished gasps.

Fu Yantian was completely disheartened. To think he had lost in just a single move. What kind of genius was he calling himself? What genius blessed by the heavens… In that moment, he understood that he had been driven to a corner.

“Pffft!”

Spewing out a mouthful of blood, Fu Yantian quickly shriveled as his vitality and cultivation leaked. He was crippled. Even if he didn’t die, he had already become a cripple.

Qing Shui didn’t continue to bring up any other conditions. He let out a sigh as he watched other people help Fu Yantian off the arena. The Fu Clan hadn’t managed to thrive under him, and in the future, it would only go into decline.

“Tian Jianxian, come on up!” Qing Shui said in the Lord Sect’s direction.

A tall and valiant looking man appeared on the Heaven Secrets Arena. He didn’t look that much alike Tian Jiange. He was rough but had a mystical aura. This gave off a very weird feeling. His abilities were on par with Fu Yantian.

Fu Yantian had been defeated in a single move. He couldn’t accept the two consecutive defeats. Having lived a smooth-sailing life for many years, suddenly losing to a person twice in a row was impossible for him to accept.

However, Tian Jianxian was no better. He was also feeling disheartened. He numbly walked up to the Heaven Secrets Arena. Although he wasn’t stronger than Fu Yantian, he had issued the challenge. Right now, he wanted to admit defeat, but admitting defeat was a humiliation to a cultivator. Furthermore, he was on the side of those who had issued a letter of challenge, together with the others. With what had become of Fu Yantian, he would be drowned in jeers if he were to admit defeat.

“You’re no longer suitable to lead the Lord Sect anymore. Support your younger brother to manage the Lord Sect. He’s more suitable than you. In the future, he’ll achieve greater things. I wonder if you"ll agree to my opinion?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

AST 1253 – Out of Fighting Spirit, Prowess, She Can Travel Around The Nine Continents?

Although Qing Shui’s words couldn"t be considered to be astonis.h.i.+ng, it dealt quite a big blow to Tian Jianxian. The Lord Sect was his hope. Without it, he would have to start all over again. If the condition was just for him to help his brother, with the latter’s talent, he would really be able to surpa.s.s him in the future. He would just need some time. Moreover, if his younger brother were to become the head of the Lord Sect, with the access to the best resources, his brother"s abilities would improve tremendously and would eventually surpa.s.s him in the future.

Although Tian Jiange was his younger brother, Tian Jianxian didn’t wish for his younger brother to surpa.s.s him. If that were to happen, he would no longer be the Tian Clan’s clan head.

“Seems like you’re unwilling. Then let’s fight. However, I can tell you upfront. If we were to battle, you’ll regret it for life.” Qing Shui’s words were filled with great killing intent.

Qing Shui didn’t wish to kill him nor cripple him with his own hands.

Keeping him alive was Tian Jiange’s motivation to advance. When the day where Tian Jiange had the capabilities to stomped Tian Jianxian down came, that would be the day that Tian Jiange would truly mature.

A strength 3,000 suns was one juncture, 2,000 sun was a small juncture. People like Fu Yantian and Tian Jianxian would come to a stop at around 2,000 suns of strength. This juncture wasn’t a great one, but it was neither insignificant. There were plenty of people who would get stuck here, never to attain a breakthrough in their entire lives. It was also considered normal to be stuck at this stage for 180 years.

Fu Yantian and Tian Jianxian had been stuck here for at least 15 years!

“I agree with your condition!” Tian Jianxian sighed. This step back was a thorn in his heart, but at least it wouldn’t subject him to become a cripple. They say that a man would know when to yield and when not to. However, this act of yielding today required him to pay too high of a price.

Qing Shui wasn’t surprised by such a result. He nodded and Tian Jianxian walked off dejectedly.

“Coward. You don’t even have the courage to fight it out.”

“Tian Jiange is really a c.r.a.p. To think that he colluded with external parties to chase his own elder brother off his seat.”

“What’s so strange about that? Tian Jianxian is the head of the Lord Sect, yet he didn’t take much care of Tian Jiange either. They are both brothers. Tian Jianxian can’t compare with Fu Yantian.”
“The Saint Child Band is over. I wonder what’s going to be of the Lord Sect?”

“It’s said that Tian Jiange is on very good terms with Qing Shui. I just wonder if Qing Shui will take control over of the Lord Sect.”

“Since Qing Shui could defeat the Saint Child in a single move, do you think that he’ll think much of the Lord Sect? If he wished to, even taking over the Heaven Secrets Academy will just be in a matter of time.”

“The Heaven Secrets Academy should be supportive of him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made him the Guest Custodian. It seems like he really has the capabilities of being one.”

“That’s right. It seems that the Breezing Wind Veranda will become powerful in the future. After today, the prowess of the Breezing Wind Veranda will change and there will be many people who want to join them.”

…

Qing Shui stood on the Heaven Secrets Arena and looked at the three influences, including the Left Moon Hall. “Come on up. If you guys can win after joining forces, it will still count as your victory.”

Qing Shui’s words caused many people to draw in a cold gasp of air. However, they quickly understood that he wasn’t just boasting. Someone who could confine the Saint Child with a single move would really be able to do something like this.

Qing Shui suddenly took one step forward. He could tell that the three people didn’t have much fighting spirit, but he still needed to do something. He circulated his strength to the maximum and swung his Big Dipper Sword.

Bloodthirsty demonic vines!

The huge bloodthirsty demonic vines were even more terrifying than before. Its huge branches were reddish-violet in color, as they soared into the air with densely packed sharp thorns which were over one foot long. When they swayed and made whizzing sounds, the auras they produced caused the blood from many people’s faces to be drained. That tenacity and swaying force would even be able to entangle and crush metallic essence.

When a person reached a certain level, he would be able to sense an estimated level of threat. Even the weaker people under the arena could sense how terrifying those bloodthirsty demonic vines were. The feeling was as if even a mountain could be crushed by those vines.

Qing Shui then tapped with his Big Dipper Sword, as he called out two more huge bloodthirsty demonic vines. This was also the greatest number which Qing Shui could call out for now. He was trying to display his prowess.

“We admit defeat. State your conditions. If we can, we’ll definitely agree to them.”

Although it appeared as if there had been no changes to the Saint Child Band, it could be said that it was over for them. The Lord Sect could also be considered to have changes in owners.h.i.+p. The people from the Left Moon Hall didn’t know what would happen to them yet.

However, they would probably not end up with a good ending. This was what the results for the losers were.

“I don’t have any conditions. You guys just need to be loyal to the Heaven Secrets Academy.” Qing Shui said softly.

Qing Shui felt helpless as well. The Eldest Princess was still not up to par yet. She still required a bit more time as she still needed more progress. As long as he was around, there was nothing to fear.

“We’ve always been loyal to the Heaven Secrets Academy.”

“Then that’s fine. One more thing. I’m a member of the Breezing Wind Veranda. We’ll let things today end here then!” After saying this, Qing Shui left slowly. When he said the last part, the three parties knew well what he meant.

The things today had ended and this result wasn’t beyond his expectations. It was because they were no longer on the same level. His spirit energy was unique and even without the Divine Nebula Formation, he would still be able to bind someone on the Saint Child’s level.

This time around, he left with the Eldest Princess and the others. Qing Shui’s and the Breezing Wind Veranda’s reputation had been spread out. Those with great judgment would be able to tell the relations.h.i.+p between Qing Shui and the Breezing Wind Veranda, and between Qing Shui and the Eldest Princess.

This person, who was the most beautiful lady in the Heaven Secrets Academy, had never been tainted by anyone before. Even someone like the Saint Child had not been able to accomplish it. However right now, there seemed to be an inclination for her to be taken by someone. This made many people glared at Qing Shui’s back view with great jealousy.

The things here were considered to had ended today. Qing Shui planned to leave for a while. It should be tomorrow, but if it was later, it wouldn’t exceed three days.

Qing Shui let the ladies head back first while he flew toward the Heaven Secrets Courtyard.

To Qing Shui, the Nine Palace Fog Formation was no challenge at all. After he entered, he saw that the two old men seemed to know that he would come.

“Come, come. You came faster than we had expected.” The old man wearing a golden dragon robe called Qing Shui over to take a seat.

“They’re too cowardly and don’t even have the courage to fight a single battle.” Qing Shui shook his head.

“They’ve received too great of a blow and won’t be able get over it within a short period of time. They might not even be able to get over from the blow their entire life. Their mental state isn’t firm enough and this is also considered to be a test for them.”

“Oh, right. Qing Shui, are you going to leave?” The old man with the surname Cao smiled and said to Qing Shui.

“Mhm!”

“When?”

“I’m thinking of leaving tomorrow. It won’t be later than three days.”

“Then be careful on your way. We won’t be sending you off.” The old man in golden dragon robe smiled and said.

“Thank you. Sir, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. There’s still something I have to get your advice on.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“What is it? Just say it. You don’t have to stand on ceremony then either. If you don’t mind, you can treat the two of us as your own family’s seniors.” The old man dressed in golden dragon robe now valued Qing Shui very highly.

“I want to know about the Demon Lord.” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

“The Demon Lord?” The two old men looked at Qing Shui in great astonishment.

“Yes, I wonder if the two of you knows anything?” Qing Shui now spoke to them differently. It represented that the relations.h.i.+p between the three of them had gotten closer.

“The Demon Lord isn’t from the Western Oxhe Continent. We only know that she’s the head of the Demon Lord Palace. She has made an enemy against all the righteous influences of an entire continent. They all say that she’s a demon and we don’t know the details either. The Western Oxhe Continent knows only the hearsays about her and they might not be accurate.” The old man looked at Qing Shui and said slowly.

“Qing Shui, you know the Demon Lord?” The old man with the surname Cao said in astonishment.

“I broke the seal on her back in the five continents.”

Qing Shui felt that there’s no need to conceal this and thus said it outright. However, when he said this, the countenance of the two old men seemed to be a little weird.

“We hope that you don’t look for her before you’ve reached the strength of 10,000 suns. Remember what we have said. We won’t do you harm. Otherwise, you’ll be in great danger. Wait till you’ve become stronger. You’ll then be able to hear from other people of her level on how to travel between the nine continents.” The old man wearing a golden dragon robe sighed and said.

“A strength of 10,000 suns? What level is that lady at? She can travel between the nine continents?” Qing Shui said in astonishment.

“It’s not good to know too much now. Remember what we’ve said. Work hard on getting stronger. In the future, the Heaven Secrets Academy will still have to rely on you. With power, everything else will be resolved.”

…

“Father, are you really not going to bring me? Please bring me along.” Qing Sha grabbed Qing Shui’s arm and said dejectedly.

“Haven’t we spoken about this? If you don’t cultivate, what will happen to you in the future? Moreover, I’ll come back frequently.”

Qing Shui tried very hard and finally convinced Qing Sha.

Yan Jinyu and the Seventh Princess both gave their blessings.

“La.s.s, you must listen to aunt.” Qing Shui brought Qing Sha to the Eldest Princess and said.

“Didn’t you say that I must call her mother previously? Why has it changed to aunt?” Qing Sha asked Qing Shui, as she looked at him seriously.

It was only then did Qing Shui realized that she had the potential to be a small demon. Her potential was slowly being developed.

The Eldest Princess blushed as she grabbed Qing Sha. “La.s.s, you’re teasing me as well now?”

“Haha, I listen to Father. If Father isn’t around, I’ll listen to you.” With that, Qing Sha looked at the two of them and left.

Qing Shui felt that the few of them already know that the relations.h.i.+p between himself and the Eldest Princess seemed to had changed. It was because he felt that even Qing Sha had noticed that. How could the others not realize?

“Bon voyage.”

“You haven’t given me my reward yet.” Qing Shui smiled and looked at the Eldest Princess.

“What reward? There’s no reward.” The Eldest Princess said unnaturally.

“A man must be true to his words. How can you go back on your words?”

“I’m not a gentleman, I’m a lady.” The Eldest Princess smiled and said.

“Uh. If you don’t give me a reward, I won’t let you be a lady.” Qing Shui looked at her and said seriously.

“I’m a lady. What can I be if I’m not a lady?” The Eldest Princess didn’t think much of it.

“You can become a woman as well.”

Eldest Princess: “…”

While she was stunned, Qing Shui kissed the Eldest Princess’ red lips and sucked on the sweet nectar in her mouth greedily. It tasted even better than the Spring of Life. He had one hand around her beautiful waist while the other one reached into her twin peaks from the lower hem of her clothes.

The Eldest Princess only had a short moment of oversight. When she regained her senses, Qing Shui’s other hand had also reached under her clothes and was on her beautiful b.u.t.t.

It took her a lot of force to get away from Qing Shui’s entangling mouth, one of her hands pressed down on the hand which he had on her b.u.t.t, not letting him move. Her other hand was around his neck.

“If you were to continue going overboard, I’ll let you have your wish, but I’ll disappear.”

Qing Shui felt very down. Why was it that all ladies liked to use this trick? He had no choice but to stop one of his hands. However, the hand which was at her twin peaks continued to move around. Qing Shui’s lower half body once again turned into the state it was like the other time.

Just like that, Qing Shui looked at that beauty and enjoyed its touch in great ecstasy.
