Chapter: 1264 (1/2)

AST 1264 – Finally Encountering Di Chen, She Is Still Herself

Qing Shui once again stayed behind in the Imperial City for a few more days. During this time, he consumed the Swift Agile Pill. This pill increased both the offensive speed and the normal speed of the consumer by 50%. He felt really satisfied with it.

Summing them up, Qing Shui’s speed had already increased abruptly by a few folds. Hence, his strength would also experience a significant increase. Sometimes, the strength increased due to speed wouldn’t be shown directly but as for its ability to deal damage, it would increase tremendously. For example, his current Nine Continents Mountain attacked the target with two times of both his speed and strength. If it had been three or four times of his speed, its power would have been even more terrifying.

This time, considering that his raw speed increased by multiple folds, it would cause the power of his Nine Continents Mountain to become significantly more powerful. Its prowess wasn’t something which could be compared to that from before. This was also part of the reasons why Qing Shui was willing to help Fu Rong refine the Swift Agile Pill.

This was given by Fu Rong out of her own free will. Or rather, it was given by her for long-term plans. Even if she hadn’t been willing to give it to him, he would still think of a way to get one or two pills from her. After all, speed was just too important to a warrior.

Time was almost up. New year was also approaching. Qing Shui immediately used the Nine Continents Steps Effect and flew into the direction towards the Hu Clan. He hoped that Di Chen would appear, he felt both excited and worried to see her.

It had been slightly more than one year since he came to the Western Oxhe Continent. He had been quite satisfied with his current speed. If it wasn’t because he was aware of the strength in the Western Oxhe Continent, Qing Shui wouldn’t have considered his long travel time to be fast. Nevertheless, he had already regarded himself as being very lucky right now.

It was already a few days later by the time he arrived at the area where the Hu Clan was located in. By the time he reached there, he was naturally welcomed with open hands. Qing Shui on the other hand, noticed that there was now another girl.

The girl was really beautiful and looked similar to Hu Yiya. Compared to her, she looked more mature and fresh. Her eyes were curved slightly upwards at the end, which made her looked a bit charming. However, with the lotus attire across her body, it caused her charmingness to become even fainter.

Hu Yiqian!

Qing Shui assumed that this girl was Hu Yiqian, the girl from the Lotus Sect! Qing Shui managed to sense a familiar aura from her body.

“Qing Shui, here, let me introduce her to you. She is my sister, Hu Yiqian. I never expected for her to come back this year. Furthermore, she came back so early.” Hu Yiya said happily.

“Nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too!” Qing Shui politely greeted her back.

“I have already heard things regarding Mr. Qing. Sister Zhisha will help you with your stuffs. It will be a lot better compared to me helping you.” Hu Yiqian said straightforwardly.

“Oh, I still have to thank you guys. If not for Sister Min taking me to Miss Diwu, I think I won’t even know who to look for to seek help.” Qing Shui was telling the truth.

“You are welcome. This is a strength belonging to yourself. Even without us or the Diwu Clan, no one is really capable of stopping you for now.” Hu Yiqian said with a smile.

Hu Yiqian spoke really highly of Qing Shui.

“Oh yes, is Miss Diwu back yet?” Actually, Qing Shui had been wanting to ask Hu Yiqian this question upon his arrival.

“It should be quite soon now. At most, she should be back within three days.” Hu Yiqian said in a certain tone.

Upon hearing these words, Qing Shui felt a lot steadier. The only thing he didn’t know was whether Di Chen would show up. Back then when she left, even Qing Shui himself didn’t know about the situation. Unknowingly, they had already been separated for around eight years.

As he thought about all of this, he felt a bit sad. Since his lifespan had increased, eight years here weren’t really anything. But all in all, Qing Shui’s mind was still stopped at the concept from his previous incarnation. Eight years, in his previous incarnation, how many eight years could a person have to be at their most perfect age? How many people could possibly stand eight years of being separated from their loved ones?

By merely asking a few questions, Qing Shui already knew that the Lotus Sect didn’t really leak out their information to the outside world. Hence, he also stopped to inquire about the sect itself. Even Diwu Zhisha herself also refused to tell him about it, let alone Hu Yiqian.

Originally, Qing Shui wanted to meet them in person as he was reluctant to wait for three days. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the direction there. Furthermore, it seemed they had a specialized route they took to travel back and forth to the Lotus Sect. Hence, he had no choice but to give up on this idea.

Qing Shui lived through the the three days in torment. Early in the morning on the third day, he was already high up in the sky as he looked around the entire place. He had never expected himself to be so impatient now. If Di Chen didn’t show up, he felt that he might not be able to withstand that kind of feeling. If she didn’t really show up, he wondered if he would force Diwu Zhisha and Hu Yimin to spill out the location of the Lotus Sect.

It was just like a couple who loved each other from his previous incarnation, who promised each other to meet up today after half a year and the feeling they harbored when they were waiting for each other to show up. Qing Shui stood in the sky as he waited. He had been doing so since early up in the morning until the sun rose.

Was this the third day? Qing Shui didn’t know if Hu Yiqian meant the fourth day when she mentioned three days later.

Qing Shui never realized that he had so little patience. It was as if he couldn’t even wait for a day.

All of a sudden, Qing Shui stared at the south. There was a black spot which was advancing towards here at a really high speed.

Qing Shui felt unusual and the blood in his heart was also boiling. Without much thought, he immediately activated his Nine Continents Steps Effect and instantly appeared not far in front of the black spot.
