Legend of the Great Sage

d at one end of the cloud alone and gazed at the pure-white ground.
When she waited for his return, perhaps it was a form of hardship, but she still clung onto a ray of hope.
Yet now, she had to watch as he travelled further and further away.
Eventually, he would completely vanish from her world.
Just what kind of despair was that?

She rubbed her eyes and looked back with a smile.
“Don’t worry.
I might not be able to become your cultivation partner, but I won’t become your deadweight either.
You have to do your best to travel a little further.
You have to become a hundred times better than that bastard Si Qing.
You have to make everyone look up to you!”

Within the wind and snow, she was like a ball of fire, which dazzled Li Qingshan’s eyes.
His heart burned with even greater fervour than when he gave Si Qing a fierce beating.

Han Qiongzhi arrived before him, holding him by his cheeks and asking him, “Do you want me?” Her face was completely red, but her eyes remained fixed on him.
She said seriously, “My husband, I want you!”

Li Qingshan pulled her into his arms with a single stroke and kissed her on her lips before collapsing together on the cloud.
The mist surged and enveloped them, and the entire cloud vanished into the cloud layer too.

。

He could still remember when he first saw her.
He did not have any good impression of her.
Even when he accepted her courtship, he had done so reluctantly.
Back then, his head was still full of Gu Yanying.
Only after spending a period together did he develop these romantic feelings for her.

Among all the women he had seen in his life, she was not the most beautiful, nor was she the one who made his heart throb the most, let alone the one who provided him with the greatest existence.
With closer thought, even this romance was surprisingly ordinary.
Sometimes, it even gave him the feeling that he did not transcend to a whole new world.
Instead, he had remained on a certain university campus and was involved in a plain relationship.
There was neither the awkwardness and repression of the cowshed, nor were there the ups and downs after he had left the mountains. 

However, when he looked back, only this period of plainness had made him want to pause and stop, keeping him from thinking about some aspiration beyond the Nine Heavens. 

Following the deep kiss, Li Qingshan began disrobing her as he gently kissed her neck.
His heart was filled with tenderness.
Even his actions became especially gentle.

Slap! Han Qiongzhi smacked the back of his head.
“What’re you dilly-dallying around for?”

“I’ve never seen a woman who’s so bad at reading the mood like you!” Li Qingshan widened his eyes.

“Hmph, you’ve finally given yourself away! Tell me, how many women have you done this with?” Han Qiongzhi said.

Li Qingshan lowered his head again to seal her lips with his mouth.
With a forceful tug, there was a rip, and he tore apart the red clothes.

“My clothes…” Han Qiongzhi said vaguely.

Before long, enchanting moans rang out from the clouds, drifting and dispersing in the snow and wind.

 ……

Several days later, in Han Qiongzh’s dwelling.

“Do you think you’ll become smarter if you eat this thing?”

Han Qiongzhi laid in Li Qingshan’s arms lazily and lifted up the Fruit of Wisdom.
They were both naked, filled with a healthy and vigorous sense of beauty.
They faced each other calmly without any embarrassment.

“What else can happen?” Li Qingshan yawned.
Even he felt a hint of lethargy after several consecutive days of entanglement, but not because he was exhausted.
The Strength of the Earth could support him physically forever.
He had just completely relaxed mentally.

“You said you ate one before, so why don’t I feel like you’ve gotten any smarter?” Han Qiongzhi asked.

“Because I’ve always been very smart, so the effects clearly won’t be obvious.
It’ll definitely have an effect if you eat it!” Li Qingshan grinned. 

Chomp! Han Qiongzhi could not be bothered with refuting him, eating the Fruit of Wisdom in a single gulp.
“You can go now.
Don’t get in the way of my cultivation!”
