Legend of the Great Sage

rred to others.

“This must also be the price I must pay in pursuit of power!”

Gong Yuan let out a sigh.
If she did not practise the All Water to Ruin’s End that left such an opening in her heart, how could he have gotten his way with her so easily? Under the influence of the power from Ruin’s End, she was cold to the limit on one hand, unaffected by anything in the world.
On the other hand, she seemed completely vulnerable when she faced him, even desiring him instinctively.
It was basically a trial she was fated to face.

When the tearing pain gradually faded away, she brought her arms around Li Qingshan’s neck and proactively kissed him on the lips, except it seemed a little clumsy due to her embarrassment.

Li Qingshan could finally launch a reckless attack now.
An enchanting moan rang out right beside his ear.

Under the state of dual cultivation, their thoughts were connected, and their minds resonated.
It was a form of enjoyment well beyond imagination.

Quite a while later, Gong Yuan lay on Li Qingshan’s chest with a face filled with exhaustion, with an appearance that was actually quite meek.
The influence from the power of Ruin’s End had been pacified by the spirit turtle, so she began to demonstrate the tenderness that female Merfolk were born with again.

Li Qingshan ran his hand down her smooth, soft back, making it all the way down and grabbing a handful of softness.
He could not help but get back to work again.

“Don’t touch!” Gong Yuan grumbled.
Her body was not as tough as his.
She only maintained this state because she savoured the complete harmony.

“Then I’ll go find someone else.” Li Qingshan smiled.

“Don’t you dare!” Gong Yuan said furiously, immediately demonstrating her bearing as the Merfolk Queen.
She even began to radiate with coldness.

“What don’t I dare?” Li Qingshan had never been one to be threatened.
Many different faces naturally appeared in his mind.

“Then you can piss off!” Gong Yuan was so furious that she trembled gently, immediately cutting off their connection.
She propped herself up, about to leave.

Li Qingshan smiled.
“Oh my, how mighty of you, your majesty.” However, he saw tears running down her cheeks, turning into shiny mermaid pearls, which surprised him.
He never expected her to be like that.
He pulled her into his arms in a hurry and consoled her with everything he had.
“What’re you crying for? I’m just saying and thinking about it as a joke…”

Gong Yuan turned her head away from him.
“I feel saddened inside, so what’s it got to do with you? Go and start your harem! But I will never be a part of it!”

Li Qingshan smiled wryly.
Being gentle like water was even more difficult to deal with than cold, frozen ice.
This path to the harem sure was long with a heavy burden! However, this did feel quite nice.
He had been reluctant to leave in the first place too.

Afterwards, they held hands and returned to the Crystal palace.
Gong Yuan did not keep their relationship a secret.
Her meek and gentle appearance left all the merpeople utterly stunned.
They all thought Li Qingshan was someone from beyond this world since he could pacify her.

Afterwards, they wanted to hold a grand wedding for them.
A merperson’s selection of a mate for life was an extremely important affair, not to mention the fact that it was the Merfolk Queen.

“I still owe someone a wedding…”

In Gong Yuan’s magnificent residence, Li Qingshan rested his head against her thigh as everything that had happened between him and Han Qiongzhi flashed through his head.
Back then, he was already prepared to ascend, so he refused to tie her down with all the grievances he had.
Out of guilt, he swore to never wed with another again.

Gong Yuan was slightly bitter about this, but she actually accepted it gently, postponing the wedding willingly.
All she said was, “However, when you’re with me, you can only think of me.”

If a regular woman said that, then it was just for say, but they were basically connected at all times.

“Obviously.”

He stayed several days in the Crystal palace.
The two of them travelled around together, admiring the grand sights of the South sea.
They did not spend all their time entwined together either.

At the same time, Li Qingshan controlled his mirror clone to do something big in the nine provinces.

Of course, this had nothing to do with women, and it did not take much effort either, but it determined the entire future of the World of the Nine Provinces.
