C5 (1/2)

In the depths of the forest, Hong Qing looked at Shang Xue and then looked at Hong Ling who was still in her cradle, his eyes full of smiles. Even though he was wounded all over, he was still as handsome and threatening as ever, giving off an indescribably graceful temperament.

”Xue'er, just call him Hong Ling!”

Hong Qing turned around and played with the baby in his arms. He took down a golden order badge and placed it into the cradle.

”Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Qing!”

Shang Xue nodded and took the cradle from Hong Qing's hands. The couple stood by a quiet lake side, she lowered her head and lightly kissed her son's forehead, a white light flowing from her lips into the baby's forehead, and then turning into a crystal within Hong Ling's Violet Palace.

Slowly walking to the lakeside, Shang Xue extended her hand into the lake, the energy in her hand circulated, and the Authentic Qi source continuously poured into the lake.

Crack, crack, crack. A small ice boat was created and Shang Xue placed the bundle wrapped around Hong Ling into it. She raised her hand and gently touched the ice boat.

”Let's go!”

Hong Qing heaved a long sigh, and took the lead, walking towards the road that they came from.

”En!”

Shang Xue nodded, tears streaming down her face. She gently bit her lips, the thin lips were bitten through, and the salty blood was swallowed by her. Finally, she stood up and turned her head, step by step, to leave this lake that had made her sad.

The old man sat on a huge rock, constantly blowing on the bowl of tea in his hands. His gaze swept across the large lake before him and let out a long sigh. Finally, he said nothing more.

Hong Qing and Shang Xue knelt on the ground, looking at the old man who was leisurely drinking his tea, his eyes filled with pleading.

In the sky, Hong Ling's Primordial Spirit looked down quietly as it clenched its fists.

”Miss, you know the temper of the madame!” The old man sighed, ”Not many people in the family know about you and Young Master's wedding, but someone will be coming soon.”

”Elder Han, I know, so I'm begging you, don't kill him!”

Shang Xue looked at her husband, who was covered in wounds, and could not help but plead.

”If this old servant followed the family rules and killed the young master, what would happen to you, Miss?” the old man muttered as he sipped his tea.

”If he lives, I live. If he dies, I die!” Shang Xue gritted her teeth and refused to back down.

The old man finally looked at the young man in front of him seriously. He knew the temper of his young miss, if not, he wouldn't have dared to marry Hong Qing on his own.

”Forget it, forget it. Since that is the case, I will trouble young miss to join hands with young master to receive this blow from me. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will throw away my old face and bring all of you back for punishment!”

With that, he casually took out two jade bottles and placed them in their hands.

Hong Qing and Shang Xue looked at each other, broke the jade bottle, took out a red pill and swallowed it.

Boom! Boundless medicinal power instantly dissolved. The couple's severely injured bodies actually recovered in just a few breaths. Their cultivation recovered completely, and their eyes became even more serious.

”Young Miss, Young Master, sorry for offending you!”

Elder Han stood up and tossed aside the half bowl of tea in his hand. Turbid tea shot up into the sky and instantly turned into a river.

The surging river water continuously surged in the air, instantly condensing into a roaring dragon.

Hong Qing and Shang Xue were holding onto their swords, their cultivation was no longer concealed, they had released all of it.

Boom. A monstrous aura surged out in an instant, and this aura continued to rise without end.

”The early stage of the Void Unity Stage!” Elder Han's eyes narrowed. ”Not bad, not bad!”

As he praised, his pupils contracted as a monstrous water dragon soared down from the skies.

and Shang Xue roared out, and the long swords filled with Authentic Qi stabbed out at the same time. Boundless Sword Qi whistled, and instantly rushed towards the water dragon.

A boom could be heard, and the water dragon shattered. Blood trickled out of the corners of their mouths as they both fell back.

Elder Han smiled slightly. The water flow that exploded in midair instantly froze, turning into sharp ice stalagmites.

Before Hong Qing and Shang Xue could react, the sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. The ice bamboo shoots that filled the sky fell down, enveloping the couple within.

The two streaks of cold light collided against each other in the rain of ice. Countless ice stalagmites were chopped into pieces, causing Elder Han to furrow his brows. He then raised his hand and lightly slapped the air.

All the ice bamboo shoots fell down with an unstoppable momentum. The originally resplendent sword light disappeared. On the ground, two badly mutilated figures laid quietly, their bodies covered in countless sharp ice bamboo shoots.

Elder Han clapped his hands and took the half bowl on the rock. He gently bit into it and bit off a small piece of the bowl. Then, he began to chew happily.

With a wave of his hand, the ice and snow that had enveloped the two of them disappeared.

”Your Excellency has been gazing at the sky for so long, are you still not leaving?”

The old man's tone was cold, completely devoid of the calm he had earlier.
