Legend of the Great Sage

arlet hair that resembled flames and the blue hair that resembled the deep sea entwined.
They laid in each other’s arms, both handsome and beautiful.
They were like a natural pair of beauties, forming a tranquil, beautiful scene.

Li Qingshan gazed at the sky.
If he had been born in the Mist province, if he had encountered her much sooner, then so what if he remained in the South sea for good, serving as the son-in-law of the Crystal palace and assisting her in strengthening the Merfolk?

When he said she could not wholeheartedly love someone, he was merely bickering.
He did not actually care.
From beginning to end, just which woman he had been interested in could achieve wholehearted devotion? Han Qiongzhi had her parents and her clan, Ye Liusu wanted to usher a new period of prosperity for her race, while his impression of that commander Gu who had once made him fall in love at first sight was still as aloof as ever.

However, she actually believed him when he said that, and she was left at a loss as to how to respond.
She sure was innocent.

However, there were no ifs in life.

Li Qingshan shook his head and dismissed these pointless thoughts.
He had no idea how much of these feelings she could sense.
She did not budge at all as if she was sleeping.

The sleep was deep, drifting about hazily, reaching that lone island on the South sea…

“Big sister, don’t say anything more.
I’ve let you down.
However, one day in the future, when you come across someone you love, you’ll naturally come to understand how I feel.”

“That definitely won’t happen, as I’m not selfish like you!” Her icy-cold mind stirred as if she had just heard a terrifying curse, but it also led to a hint of envy and anticipation.

“No, it definitely will, as we’re exactly the same…”

The gloomy rain fell for several days on end.
Gong Yuan suddenly opened her eyes and broke free from Li Qingshan’s embrace with a flex of her tail.
She tidied her unwrinkled dress and said to Li Qingshan coldly, “Let’s go!”

“Aren’t you going to rest for a little longer?” Li Qingshan asked.

“There’s no need.
The next one is the last battle anyway.
Let’s end it quickly so that I can return to the South sea!”

“Alright!” Li Qingshan immediately became reinvigorated.
He crossed his legs, and the spirit turtle’s figure appeared on him.
He carried out a divination before he did anything.
“Hmm? This battle will be extremely dangerous!”

“Are there any battles that aren’t dangerous when they involve Demon Kings? Not to mention that you can no longer rebirth, so of course, it’ll be even more dangerous.
If you don’t want to go, I’m returning to the South sea.”

“Are you saying you don’t want to part with me?” Li Qingshan leaned against his hand and said with interest.

Gong Yuan snorted coldly and immediately flew away.
Li Qingshan followed close behind, grabbing her hand.
“Accompany me one last time!”

“Hopefully, it’s not sending you off one last time!” Gong Yuan said.

“Haha, if I have you around to collect my corpse, what am I supposed to be afraid of?” Li Qingshan smiled.

As they conversed, they rushed through the cloud layer, and the sunlight illuminated the sea of clouds.
Gong Yuan looked back, unable to forget that memory.
She thought to herself.

Little sister, I’ve actually always understood how you felt.
Just like you said, we’re so similar.
The only difference is I’m the elder sister, and you’re the younger sister.
The older sister has to protect the younger sister.
However… this bastard human-daemon is ten thousand times worse than that damned fire devourer!

……

Several hundred kilometers away, a few voices whispered in the demon cavern.

“Bone-eating Shaman King, are you certain they’ll come?”

“Are you doubting the Meditative Brain King’s divination?”

“Hehe, I would never.
I’m just asking.”

“Don’t worry.
We’ve already eliminated enough possible places.
This is definitely their last stop, as well as their final stop.
Everything is according to great evil god Qiongqi’s arrangements!”

The Demon Kings all fell silent.
Even across the boundless Demon domain, the great evil god Qiongqi was a demon among demons, an evil among evils.
It truly was quite unbelievable that he would actually pay attention to such an ordinary war in a foreign land.
Could it be that the Demon Kings that died earlier were all just bait he had put out?
