Chapter 1301 - Waiting For Who
“It’s you! Clam King of Mirage Sea, what have you done!?”
Si Long was enraged, pointing straight at Shen Mengdie. A streak of golden light immediately pierced her head, so sharp and eye-dazzling that it seemed like it could cut through their vision and draw blood.
Li Qingshan wanted to provide support, but he was one step too slow. When he looked at the others, no one actually managed to respond in time, whether they were human or daemon.
The expressions of the female Daemon Kings all changed drastically. If that finger had been directed towards them, they probably would have been in danger of dying on the spot.
However, Shen Mengdie’s head rippled as if she did not actually exist, just a reflection in the water. The hole in her head gradually closed up. She continued to smile in the exact same manner.
“Oh, and who did I think it was? So it’s you! Have you also come to congratulate this fellow Li?”
“I spared your life back then. Not only are you unthankful, but you’ve actually come here to ask to die! Let me send you off then!”
Si Long sneered, approaching Shen Mengdie step by step. His pupils turned into golden dragon eyes, locking onto her firmly. Shen Mengdie’s rippling body stabilised as if even the s.p.a.ce there had been sealed up.
“Fellow, today is my day of great joy! That would be inappropriate!”
Li Qingshan stood in front of Shen Mengdie. His burly body was like a mountain, preventing Si Long from locking onto her aura and enduring all of the pressure himself. He glanced backwards and grinned. “Nicely done!’
“Li Qingshan! I’ll give you one more opportunity. Submit to me, and I’ll forgive you for everything else. I can even guide you to the Mortal realm so that you become a guest of the Myriad sect!”
Si Long stopped. The only person who could stop him in his steps today was the unpredictable man before him. He spoke like he was a great lord who stood high above the ma.s.ses, trying to pacify a law-breaking bandit.
“Si Long, we’ve already come so far, and you’re still trying these petty tricks. Don’t you just find it ridiculous?”
Li Qingshan raised his head. His scarlet eyes were like flames, looking down on Si Long.
When great masters clashed, it was just not about powers and abilities. It was a clash of will and spirit as well. As long as he was still hopeful, hoping that he could avoid this battle through pacifying him, his momentum would immediately weaken, and his chances at victory would plummet.
On top of that, Li Qingshan possessed an edge in terms of spirit with what Shen Mengdie had done. Cuckolding would always just be better than being cuckolded. He felt just that little bit happier inside.
“Why don’t you stick around for a little longer? We can compete once you’ve said your toast for me. I heard that fellow Su is the greatest beauty in the world. Tsktsk, I never thought I’d have such great fortunes today! If you can afford to wait, we might as well fight after we’ve gotten married and had our honeymoon.”
“You’re- asking- to- die!”
Si Long squeezed out four words from beneath his teeth. Never had he been so humiliated before.
His aura surged violently, like a dragon rising up to the heavens, roaring away furiously.
Whether it were the great cultivators or the female Daemon Kings in the surroundings, they all retreated, unable to remain within ten steps of him. They could not muster any thought of opposition either.
Li Qingshan’s scarlet hair swept back as his robes buffeted in the winds, but he remained as still as a mountain. He only crouched down slightly, like the prelude to a tiger pouncing at its prey.
At that instant, murderousness rushed into the air.
Rumble. A series of thunder made everyone feel like something was weighing against their chests, such that they wanted to cough up blood. All they had experienced was a clash of their auras.
The great cultivators came to a realisation that this was not a battle they could interfere with at all. Perhaps all they could do was momentarily distract Li Qingshan, to make him attack them. The outcome might be decided in that split second, but it was very likely to cost them their lives.
At this moment, Shen Mengdie emerged gracefully from behind Li Qingshan. “Hey, why don’t you take a look at where you are, the two of you?”
“Where’s Mirao? What have you all done?” Si Long could vaguely sense that something was amiss today. He was still worried about the Nine-tailed Fox Empress’s safety.
“Hey, what are you waiting for? Let my bride in here right now!” Li Qingshan licked his lips. He was determined to make cuckolding Si Long a reality.
“Alright, alright, since you’re both in such a hurry, then… the chosen hour is here!”
Shen Mengdie called out. Countless flowers bloomed in the surroundings, filling the entire palace. They constantly spiralled, stealing everyone’s gazes and adding to the cheery atmosphere.
A bride dressed in red bridal clothes emerged from behind the palace. She paused with each step, like steps to a dance. The beaded curtains rippled as the ta.s.sels drifted lightly. Every single step she took landed on everyone’s hearts.
She wore a great red, bridal veil that hid her face, but she gave off a charm that could not be put into words, immediately drawing over everyone’s gazes. She even directly defused the battle that was on the verge of erupting between Li Qingshan and Si Long, as neither of them could devote all of their attention to the powerful enemy before them anymore.
Despite all this, she continued to carry the umbrella. The handle rested against her shoulder as she twirled it gently in her hand. She even carried a cat in her arms. If it were not for her attire, she basically did not seem like she was here to be married, more like a young lady from a n.o.ble family on an outing.
Li Qingshan became certain at the very first moment that this woman was the legendary Nine-tailed Fox Empress. There definitely was no other person who could exhibit such charms.
For a moment, he was filled with a mult.i.tude of emotions too. Was she using him to test Si Long, or was she actually marrying him? None of this could be a part of Si Long’s schemes anyway. There was no man who would do something like this for a scheme. Si Long had absolutely no need to do it either given his strength.
Hmph, so be it if it’s real or fake! If it’s fake, then I’ll make it real!
“Big Blacko!” The cat cried out in joy and lunged towards Li Qingshan, turning into a young lady mid-air and embracing Li Qingshan firmly.
“Xuanyue.” Li Qingshan brought his arm around her waist and smiled. “Are you the maidservant coming with the bride?”
“I’m your master! Master!” Xuanyue pointed at his head viciously.
“Your master is almost going to become my wife,” Li Qingshan said with deep meaning. Regardless of what kind of scheme was hidden behind all of this, now was the time to expose it all.
“Mirao, what exactly is happening? Is it one of your jokes? If it’s a joke, then you’ve gone a little too far. I really can’t accept this.” Si Long furrowed his brows heavily. His face was originally filled with fury and bewilderment, but in the end, it all just turned into a wry smile.
“Heehee!” The woman extended her hand under her bridal veil to cover her smile.
Li Qingshan’s heart rippled. He felt a little like he was floating, almost tempted to go up and remove her veil to see exactly how she looked.
“If I say this is a joke, can you forgive me?” An enchanting voice drifted out from beneath the bridal veil, like it was composed of wonderful musical notes.
Si Long sighed. “How can I say no? I know I’ve made you suffer from all the waiting, which is why you’re playing with me. So be it, so be it. I’ll make things up to you once I deal with this Li Qingshan.”
If he had not seen her with his own eyes, Li Qingshan definitely would have thought Si Long was a spineless fool, but he could understand it a little now. Probably even he would not be much better. This woman was basically a monster. He could not help but increase his vigilance, guarding against both her and Si Long at the same time.
The woman sighed. “This isn’t a joke.”
Si Long shuddered. He widened his eyes. “What did you say? Have you forgotten about the promise between us?”
“What promise?”
“You said you would wait…”
