Chapter 600 (1/2)

AST 600 – Obtaining a treasure, Arriving at the Central Continent again

Qing Shui was not worried that the Thunderous Beast would not be able to survive in his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. The Thunderous Beast’s ability to adapt was very strong. Furthermore, Qing Shui had decided to bring the entire Golden Buddha Aura Lotus into the Realm.

Qing Shui knew that he had to be quick. In the event that the Old Thunderous Beast had not met any accident and suddenly returned, they will be in deep trouble!

Qing Shui took out his Water Repelling Pearl and directly thrust it into the water. He wanted to transport the entire Golden Buddha Aura Lotus as well as the little Thunderous Beast within it into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

Qing Shui was quite surprised to find that the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus actually had roots above the riverbed. The roots extend about a hundred meters into the water. Under the water, the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus had rhizomes which were as thick as a human’s body. They were like a huge python, the fibrous roots intertwined a large, complicated and extended mess.

Keep!

Qing Shui pushed his spirit energy to its peak. He brought the entire Golden Buddha Aura Lotus into his Realm and placed it into the pond. Luckily for him, his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal had become much larger after he raised it to the sixth layer. The pond had expanded a few times in size. The depth of the pond barely contained the plant but the plant had to extend outward.

It was said that once the Thunderous Beast opened its eyes, it will protect the first person it saw for its entire life. Most of the time, however, the first thing that it saw was the Old Thunderous Beast.

After he had placed them properly, Qing Shui left the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and flew out of the water. Qing Shui inferred that the Old Thunderous Beast must not have left more than a year, otherwise the baby Thunderous Beast would have already opened its eyes.

From what he observed, the baby Thunderous Beast would open its eyes soon. Before that, the Old Thunderous Beast will definitely rush back if it was still alive. With that in mind, Qing Shui knew that they have to leave this place quickly.

At this moment, Di Chen was puzzled because the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus suddenly disappeared. Additionally, she wondered why Qing Shui dived into the water. Just when she suspected that something was going on, Qing Shui suddenly came out of the water.

“Sister Chen, let’s go. Quick.”

Qing Shui pulled Di Chen’s sleeve and ran back to their camp quickly. Qing Shui did not want to explain the situation with the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus right now, as he sensed imminent danger. He had the intuition that he was correct.

Di Chen felt weird when Qing Shui ran and pulled her along by her sleeve. She could not say what this feeling was and neither did she know what this man was thinking. She only knew that he was very good to her.

Qing Shui quickly packed up the tents and other things. Without even eating breakfast, they sat on the Fire Bird and flew towards the Central Continent speedily. Mid-journey, they also flew to the west for about ten thousand miles.

Even though they had escaped, Qing Shui felt that the Old Thunderous Beast might have met its demise. After all, the beast would not leave the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus for more than three days. It will accompany the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus till its death but it will also die if the plant dies.

Another rumor said that a Thunderous Beast would only give birth to its young when it was about to die. However, Qing Shui was afraid that something might happen to them, which was why he left hurriedly.

“Qing Shui, why are we leaving so quickly. What did you see?” perplexed, Di Chen asked Qing Shui as they flew on his Fire Bird.

“I’m afraid that the Old Thunderous Beast will appear.” Qing Shui was still worried as he looked behind them.

“Old Thunderous Beast?”

“Yes, there was a baby Thunderous Beast within the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus. It had not opened its eyes. I got it out.” Qing Shui replied thoughtfully.

“A Thunderous Beast cannot leave its Golden Buddha Aura Lotus. It takes one thousand years to mature. Unless you use those sort of legendary pills which can boost its growth rate. Unfortunately, that sort of medicine or items were rare treasures. You won’t be able to buy them even with money nor exchange for them.” replied Di Chen, who did not look happy at all. She seemed to be trying to tell Qing Shui that the baby Thunderous Beast had little worth. Even though they had the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus, the baby Thunderous Beast was still too pitiful.

“I wanted to give it to you because of this, since I have a way to expedite its growth.” Qing Shui touched his nose, feeling a little awkward. He just directly kept it without even offering it to her just now.

I don’t want it! The better the demonic beast is, the longer it takes to mature. By that time, I would already be an old woman.” Di Chen replied casually.

……

After two months, the Central Continent was finally within sight.

“Sister Chen, which country should we go to first?” Qing Shui asked with a smile.

“You can decide. I prefer to not think about anything right now and not make any decision. It is relaxing this way.” Di Chen laughed lightly as she looked at Qing Shui.

She had worn her snow white veil again but Qing Shui felt he could still see her beautiful smile!

Qing Shui touched his nose as he heard those words. This woman was a woman with her own strong views. Over these years, she had always been a quick and decisive person. She made all her decisions on her own and was very opinionated. Despite that, she actually said something like that to Qing Shui, he found it rather unfamiliar.

“Well then, let’s go to Xing Hai Country first!”

Since they were already at the Xing Hai Country, it would be impolite to not pay the Qianyu Clan a visit since he had some connections with them.

“Qing Shui, if we plan to go to the Di residence in the future, you must act as my husband..” Di Chen seemed to have thought of something as she whispered to Qing Shui.

Her veil covered her face, but it could not cover her heart. Qing Shui was amazed that he could feel her anxiousness. It was just like when they were at the dream among the sea of flowers.

Di Chen seemed to have felt it too. Her elegant eyes held a peculiar expression as she looked at Qing Shui. At this moment, there was a sort of ambiguous romantic attraction.

Red-Lined Snake!

Qing Shui could not help but remember the Red-Lined Snake. Trying to remain calm, he broke the gaze and laughed, “Since Sister Chen is not afraid, what am I afraid of. I’ll just do what you want.”

“Then, we should start acting now… otherwise, it will be easy for others to see through our act..” This was the first time her unique and calming voice faltered. She actually showed some hesitation.
