Legend of the Great Sage

e his title of the king of the south.

Compared to these feats, the news that this revealed left him even happier.
The Merfolk Queen Gong Yuan’s participation symbolised peace in the South sea.
Li Qingshan was no longer a lurking threat either.
If the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga found out how great of a help he had been, they would probably regret letting him come to the south.

And behind Li Qingshan was the shadow of a great Daemon King of the Mist province, which indirectly explained the stance he had taken.
If he could obtain his assistance, then the threat of the demon plague would greatly diminish.

At this exact moment, he suddenly turned around and said to the tiny banyan tree bonsai on the desk, “Fellow, is there something you wish to talk to me about?”

“I’d like you to save someone.”

“Who?”

“Li Qingshan.”

 ……

“Li Qingshan, have you thought of it?” Gong Yuan said impatiently, but there was none of the restlessness or despair that came from facing death in her voice.
She seemed more like a cold-faced wife complaining about her husband’s uselessness, who actually made them become lost in their journey.

“What’re you in such a hurry for? Aren’t I thinking right now? Stop disturbing me!” Li Qingshan was sick of the questions too, stroking his chin with one hand as he thought with furrowed brows.

“I think you can’t think of anything at all.
I actually almost believed you.
If I had known earlier, I’d rather just throw my life at them.”

“I’ve said it already, but don’t even think about dying in front of me.
Stay right here.
Didn’t you say you would collect my corpse for me?”

“Hmph, I think there’s no difference if it’s in front of me or not.” Gong Yuan scoffed.

“Then do you like it from behind or in front?” Li Qingshan smirked and slid his hand down her waist, but it was immediately frozen by her icy-cold gaze.
He pulled back his hand awkwardly and rubbed his nose to hide his shame.
“Fine then.
I’m only trying to ease the nervous atmosphere.”

Gong Yuan rolled her eyes helplessly.
Having been trapped until now, since when were they ever nervous? She sure would prefer a bit of a nervous atmosphere, but when she faced this careless bastard, even life and death seemed to stop mattering.

“Li Qingshan, you’re almost dragging me to your death.
Can’t you show me some respect?”

Li Qingshan considered that seriously and smiled.
“I can’t, Gong Yuan!”

“Why don’t I just make you perish with me right now?” Gong Yuan ground her teeth.

“Hold on, I’ve thought of it.” Li Qingshan took out the Asura Field and asked with a smile, “Which one do you prefer more, the Asura realm or the Demon domain?”

“Neither.”

Li Qingshan shrugged and entered the Asura Field.
Gong Yuan felt her entire body lighten up.
Finally, she no longer had to press up close to him anymore.
However, as she gazed at the endless darkness around her, she felt rather empty inside.
Her expression gradually recovered its coldness too.

A while later, Li Qingshan left the Asura Field again and brought his arm around her supple waist without holding back at all, pulling her into his arms.
He seemed extremely experienced with the entire movement.

“You win.
You’re going nowhere.”

Originally, he thought he could enter the Asura realm through the blood-red swirl in the Asura Field, which would serve as a final path of retreat, but when he went inside and took a look, the blood-red swirl had sunk into darkness too.
He had truly shattered the surrounding space thoroughly, such that even the Asura Field could not connect with the Asura realm.

“I knew it.” Gong Yuan snorted and adjusted herself into a more comfortable position.

“Seems bigger,” Li Qingshan said solemnly.
Through her open collar, he could see a world of snow-white, as well as the deep, dim gully.
He could feel her cool, full figure through the thin mermaid silk.
Even though this was not his first time, he still found it quite nice.

Gong Yuan stared at him coldly.

“Alright, alright.
Let me just ignore this nervous atmosphere then.” Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and smiled.
“This is the last choice left given the current situation.
Yuan’er, are you ready to become a Daemon King’s wife?”
