Legend of the Great Sage

ook a step back.
“You can’t spout nonsense, my king!”

If he accidentally roused the fighting spirit of this Rāhu, then it would not be a joke anymore.

Li Qingshan shot him a glance.
The child did not respond at all.
He smiled.
“How am I spouting nonsense? If this continues, this kid is going to become an Asura Commander.
He definitely won’t be your opponent.”

Yin Qing could not help but be slightly tempted.
She studied the child’s figure.
As an assassin, this was exactly what she specialised in, striking when others were disadvantaged.
If she could obtain the Rāhu clan’s divine blood of immortality, then that would come with endless benefits.

“It’s best if you don’t get her to try.
Even if I’m reduced to a regular asura, I can crush the likes of her with a single finger,” the child said powerlessly, but his voice was filled with indescribable confidence.

Yin Qing shivered inside and immediately discarded the thought.

“Have you finally decided to talk? You only really find out when you try.
Don’t be afraid, Yin Qing.
He’s definitely putting up a front, which is why he said that,” said Li Qingshan.

Yin Qing was pained.
How could slaying a god be that easy? The huge eye that had appeared in the blood-red swirl had probably come for this god’s blood.

“I’ve already grown tired of battle.
You better not force me.”

“What if I insist on forcing you?”

Li Qingshan crouched behind the child, his murderousness building up inside of him, like a tiger about to pounce.
He revealed his sharp teeth, like he could bite at any moment.

“That fake murderousness basically makes me want to vomit.
Stop probing me out pointlessly anymore.
You’re annoying me to death!”

“Alright, you’ve read me.
I’m just curious.” Li Qingshan stood up.
“I, Li Qingshan, always pay back my debts.
You assisted me in the past, so as long as you’re in my territory, I’ll obviously ensure your safety.
No one will be able to touch a hair on you!”

The child turned his head slightly and saw him from the corner of his eye.
Li Qingshan’s expression was calm and determined.
He actually said he would ensure his safety with just his cultivation at the third heavenly tribulation, which was an absolute joke.
However, when it emerged from his mouth, it actually sounded convincing.

And, he had clearly seen one of the countless spying eyes already!

“You don’t owe me anything.”

“What’s your name?” Li Qingshan asked.

The child looked away and said nothing.

“You don’t want to tell me? That’s fine, but for the sake of convenience, let me give you one! Speaking of coming up with names, hahaha!” Li Qingshan’s eyes immediately lit up as he let out a mad laugh.

Xiao An blinked her eyes.
She knew he was about to unleash his “talent to come up with names” again.

Li Qingshan paced around the Asura Altar of Armaments, gazing at the sky at times and lowering his head in thought at other times.
He stroked his chin and contemplated for a good moment before his eyes suddenly lit up.
He pointed at the child.

“I got it.
Sun and moon form the character brilliance, or ming.
I’ll call you Xiaoming!”

“Xiao… Ming…”

The child squeezed out those two words from between his teeth.
His aura immediately erupted, and he sat up slowly.

“How’s that? It’s easy to say yet also deep in meaning.
It’s concise, yet anything but simple.
You can forget about your original name.
Right, Xiao An?” Li Qingshan smiled confidently.

“Yep!”

Xiao An nodded seriously.
Compared to Ji Xuanri, Xiao An really did sound much better.

“Xiao An…” As if he had confirmed that Li Qingshan was not intentionally insulting him, “Xiaoming” lay back down on the Asura Altar of Armaments, slamming his head against the rock.
“You’re fortunate that you encountered me in my present state…”

“Xiaoming, if you want some help with rousing your fighting spirit, could you take part in a fight for me?” Li Qingshan suddenly asked.

If he had the assistance of this asura child of a god, then his chances at victory would definitely increase drastically against the Hungry Ghost realm.

“Qingshan.”

Xiao An was touched.
If it were not for his concern for her, even in the face of utter doom, he would never ask anyone else for help.
