AST 2231 - Luo Qingcheng’s Evil Finger?

The creation of their Guardian Vine had greatly increased the cohesion within the Sea King Palace. A Guardian was far too important to a sect. The reason why it could be named a Guardian was because it was as strong as a G.o.d. From the aura it had when it was awakened, they knew that the strength of the bloodthirsty demonic vine was far from normal.

Any worries about the future would be solved with the existence of a Guardian. Most importantly, their Guardian was young and would be able to protect the area for a long time. The inhabitants were the first generation for the Sea King Palace, and the Guardian had each of their blood essences.

Only Qing Shui and a few others knew about the terror of the bloodthirsty demonic vine. He wouldn’t have to worry even if he left at this moment. Anyone around the area who wished to bring harm to the Sea King Palace and its inhabitants would incur the bloodthirsty demonic vine’s wrath.

Qing Shui had no plans of leaving just yet. The conflict with the Golden Yakshas hadn’t been resolved just yet and there was a possibility of their return. Qing Shui decided to stay back, and perhaps settle the score with the Golden Yakshas once and for all.

Spiritual Qi around the Sea King Palace was growing denser. This was the ability of the bloodthirsty demonic vine. Being a plant-type Guardian, it could rely on strength and converge Spiritual Qi to their area.

Qing Shui was itching for time to fly by faster. This way, he would be able to unlock the next level for the Hundred Treasure Chest and in turn, allow his own abilities to progress even further.

Qing Shui’s greatest desire at this moment was to move up the ranks of his cultivation. When the realm of his Heavenly Dao rises, that would be the time when he is finally able to unleash his full potential. At that point, the Stellar Transposition and his Divine Weapon, Flying Swords would be deadly weapons.

Qing Shui had a great time during these peaceful days with his wives and children. Even though they weren’t in full attendance, it was still better than spending time alone at the Imperial Cuisine Hall or during travels. However, Luo Qingcheng held on to every chance to devour Qing Shui…

The relations.h.i.+p between Qing Shui and Luo Qingcheng used to be clear. While they didn’t clearly define it, she had long considered herself to be his woman and the others had likewise thought so. Sometimes, even Qing Shui regarded her as his woman.

Luo Qingcheng had said it herself. She could remain single all her life, but if she were to marry, then Qing Shui would be the only one she would consider.

Qing Shui didn’t dare to reject as that would be a huge blow to a woman. This woman had once been willing to abandon her own status for him. Besides, she was charming and alluring. She was a mermaid, someone many men could only dream of having to themselves.

“Qing Shui, are you avoiding me?” She finally got the opportunity to spend time with Qing Shui alone.

“How is that possible? You’re a beauty. Why would I avoid you?” Qing Shui laughed and replied.

“I wouldn’t force you into anything. Do you have to be that fearful of me? You were so courageous in the past, even to the point of taking advantage of me. And yet, you’re avoiding me now. How infuriating.” Luo Qingcheng advanced towards Qing Shui, hooking her hands behind his neck. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui wrapped his arms around Luo Qingcheng’s slender and soft waist. The woman in front of him was a mature, dignified, enchanting, intelligent, and elegant woman. Qing Shui found that she was packed with all sorts of charm. What an extraordinary woman. She would be top of the tier wherever she went. She was great in the kitchen, graceful in the guest hall, and glamorous on the bed.

“Why are you yearning for love?” Qing Shui laughed.

“I’m just a regular woman. Isn’t it normal for me to feel so?” With her attention still on Qing Shui, her lips curved into a beautiful arc.

Qing Shui found that there would always be teasing involved with this woman. Sometimes, he couldn’t even gain any advantages.

“It’s normal, of course. I do wonder how you resolved it by yourself. Do you use your hands or some other tools?” Qing Shui nodded and asked seriously.

Luo Qingcheng licked her lips. “I used this finger.”

With that, she stuffed the finger inside Qing Shui’s mouth.

Qing Shui was startled. He watched the sly smile on Luo Qingcheng’s face, noting the slender finger in his mouth, and most importantly, what the finger had been doing.

Qing Shui didn’t contemplate further about the truth behind her claims and neither did he feel disgusted. Her finger teased Qing Shui’s tongue and he thought, “Get ready to be teased.”

Qing Shui kept his eye on Luo Qingcheng’s smile then stuffed his own finger into her mouth. Luo Qingcheng flushed red and retracted her finger, spitting out Qing Shui’s own before throwing him a charming glance.

“Let’s consummate our marriage today!” Qing Shui hugged her tightly.

“No. Once I’m ready, I’ll give you everything. At that time, I’ll make you feel like you’re in the seventh heaven,” Luo Qingcheng rested a hand on his chest, her tongue swiping across her lips.

Qing Shui lowered his head till his lips were beside her ear and whispered. In reflex, her face reddened even further and said, “Disgusting!”

“Why would it be disgusting? It’s something that all married couples do,” Qing Shui responded seriously.

“Wait until I’m your woman then,” Luo Qingcheng spoke softly.

As much as he was agitated, he didn’t want to force her into anything she didn’t want to. After all, it would be hard to let go after guarding her own body for so long. However, with her in his arms, he exhibited his nimble fingers once more as she whined in his embrace, weak in her limbs and bones. She watched Qing Shui with undisguised satisfaction.

“I was on cloud nine,” Luo Qingcheng whispered into Qing Shui’s ears.

“The real thing would have been even more comfortable,” Qing Shui said with a laugh.

In all honesty, it might not have felt better than Qing Shui’s techniques, but at least it would feel different. The collision between the visual and the sensation would naturally be stronger during the real deal.

Luo Qingcheng bit her lip and said, “Just a while more. My training during this period is critical. I don’t want to be distracted.”

She leaned forth and deeply kissed Qing Shui right after, leaving him stunned and feeling as if he had just been stolen a kiss.

…

The Golden Yakshas returned after another week. There weren’t many this time, just about a dozen. They were big in stature, about ten meters in height, with two of whom were slightly shorter. They were the ones who had fled previously.

Apart from the Golden Yakshas, there was a demonic beast. A Golden Wolf, only about a meter in size but it was glowing in gold. Its eyes were like miniature suns exuding a substantial radiance. Its aura seemed to be able to tear apart the atmosphere.

Qing Shui’s heart shook at the sight of the wolf. The Golden Wolf’s aura was petrifying. At this level, the size could no longer be used as an accurate measurement. Creatures at this level came in all sizes.

“Young man, there hasn’t been anyone who dared to bully the Golden Yakshas. Did you really think we wouldn’t be able to handle you?” An old man leading the Golden Yakshas came forward.

The old man shone in gold and he looked dignified, standing there like a mountain. Qing Shui was shocked. The old man’s cultivation was greater than every one of those he had met before, but he must have been within the Cave Realm still.

“I didn’t bully them. On the contrary, they weren’t doing what humans should. If you could come here and spout these words, then you must not have been anywhere near decent either. Without seeking the truth, you just want to pressurize others with your power,” Qing Shui said as he fixed his attention onto the old man.

“You’ve killed so many of my people and yet, I’m the one pressurizing others with my power?” The old man glared furiously at Qing Shui.
