Chapter 691 – Balancing Water and Fire, Rising Up to Daemon Commander (1/2)

Han Qiongzhi could not help but sigh. Even for someone whose thoughts were not as delicate, Han Qiongzhi could still tell that a strange sense of understanding existed between them, which left her feeling a little jealous. However, Ru Xin had been extremely composed, which prevented her from losing her temper, as that would make her seem petty instead.

Li Qingshan gazed at the glass bottle in his hand. He had never said a single sugared word to this female confidante of his, even spending most of the time exchanging foul words, but their relationship was anything but normal. They only needed to say a single word to go through hell for each other.

He had always been a man who liked fine alcohol, who liked fine women, and who did not disguise his desires. However, whenever he was with a beauty like her, rarely did he ever become worked up. She was truly an outlier.

Han Qiongzhi said, “What, you can’t forget about her?”

“The world is going to keep spinning, so why can’t I forget about her?” Li Qingshan stowed away the medicine preciously and stood up. He laughed aloud. “How dare you look down on me earlier! I’ll let you taste my power today!” As a result, he picked up Han Qiongzhi and made his way into the bamboo loft.

Han Qiongzhi broke free from his grasp. “Hell no! You better use your school of Novels techniques to deal with it!”

Li Qingshan pushed her over on the bamboo floor boards and smiled. “That won’t be up to you to decide!”

Han Qiongzhi gazed at him. “You better try the effects of the medicine! I still have missions for the Hawkwolf Guard to carry out!”

Li Qingshan was taken aback. After obtaining the medicine, he was eager to try it; he wanted to see if he could break through the final barrier and reach Daemon Commander. This desire was so great that it surpassed all lust, but Han Qiongzhi had travelled a great distance to come and visit him. He could not just abandon her here, right? He had to get along with her well, but he never expected her to see through him.

“Go do what you need to do. Do you think I’ll be happy if you just try to get me off your back like that? When we do something like that, I hate it when you’re half-hearted. The world is going to keep spinning, so why must you rush something like this? Cultivation takes priority!”

Han Qiongzhi silently thought to herself, I might not be of any help to you, but I definitely won’t become an obstacle in your path of cultivation.

“Thank you!”

Li Qingshan held her face and kissed her deeply before smiling. “I’ll spare you today. I’ll definitely make you beg for mercy next time.

Han Qiongzhi’s face reddened. “Don’t even think about it!” Then her voice softened. “After you finish cultivating, don’t forget to come find me, or I…”

“Since the legendary Flower of Water and Fire doesn’t exist, where did this medicine come from?”

He was not too familiar with alchemy, but whether it were pills or medicine, it had to come from somewhere. It could only be produced by merging the effects of a few medicinal herbs.

He thought long and hard, but he was unable to think of anything. He would have to ask her the next time he saw her.

Li Qingshan removed the stopper and drank it all in one gulp. The taste was somewhat familiar for some reason, but before he could taste it closely, the liquid had spread through his body. After a slight refinement, it was immediately converted into a strange medicinal effect.

He tried absorbing it into his daemon core, and a sliver of joy suddenly flashed through Li Qingshan’s eyes. He held his breath as all of his muscles tensed up.

It really was effective!
