AST 1475 - Yehuang Guwu’s Pregnancy, Yan Lang (1/2)

Even without Hua Rumei’s prompt, Qing Shui would’ve left together with Tantai Lingyan. But since Hua Rumei had already spoken, the atmosphere became a little weird. Hua Rumei precisely wanted this effect. Qing Shui smiled at Hua Rumei before he left with Tantai Lingyan.

The two of them walked side by side. Tantai Lingyan didn’t say anything but wasn’t unhappy. She casually walked along, and Qing Shui could even sense how carefree she was.

“Are you happy?” Qing Shui smiled as he asked.

If it was some other woman, Qing Shui wouldn’t ask this question. But this was a very good question to ask Tantai Lingyan because he had no idea what she was thinking of or how she felt right now.

Tantai Lingyan was stunned for a moment. This was the second time she had heard this question. Could it be that this question was very important to him?

“Why are you asking this?” Tantan Lingyan glanced at Qing Shui as they continued walking.

“I wish to know.”

“Is this very important?” Tantai Lingyan’s mouth curled slightly up. In that instant, it was as if a rainbow bloomed overhead. She was incomparably radiant.

“It is very important.” Qing Shui replied.

“Compared to the past, I feel more relaxed now. The pressure that was like a huge mountain pressing down on me has dissipated by more than half. I guess I can be considered happy?” Tantai Lingyan replied vaguely.

Qing Shui didn’t even know what to think after hearing that. Maybe it was like what she said, that she ‘could be considered’ happy. At the very least, it was not a bad answer. This was a good thing.

“What plans do you have in the future?” Qing Shui asked after being silent for a few moments.

Tantai Lingyan started a bit but soon recovered, “Are you planning to leave?”

Qing Shui contemplated a little before he replied, “Not for the time being. I still have something important I have yet to accomplish. I just want to hear what your future plans are. Regardless whether I leave or not, I’m already yours. I belong to the Demon Lord Palace.”

Tantai Lingyan pouted a little while staring at him. She didn’t know if Qing Shui was intentionally saying this or not but she felt that it was on purpose. It didn’t really matter even if it was so.

“In the near future, I only want the Demon Lord Palace to become more powerful. I don’t wish for any other powers to bully us.” Tantai Lingyan spoke lightly.

Qing Shui stared at her. Although this woman was cold at times, she was very kind inside her heart. Although the Demon Lord Palace was the leader of the four evil forces, they had never committed bloody atrocities or outrageously evil acts.

“This wish of yours will surely come true. After you become strong, there would be no one who would dare to touch the Demon Lord Palace.”

“The strength of an individual will only protect us for a moment. After this individual disappears, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Qing Shui was able to understand this sentence. His Qing Clan was a very good example. Although back then they weren’t that strong, they had enjoyed a high status because of Qing Shui gradually growing stronger. But if something had befallen Qing Shui back then, the entire Qing Clan would have surely been in miserable straits. If that’s the case, they might as well have never risen up before.

For all the large and powerful clans, there would certainly be an individual who carried the fate of the clan on his back. No matter how strong someone was, he wouldn't dare boast that he’s invincible. If there’s an accidental defeat, his clan would be in mortal danger.

“Lingyan, you are still young. At the very least, the Demon Lord Palace can have peace for thousands of years. With such a huge amount of time, there will surely be more new experts appearing. Even now, there are already so many experts like sister Hua, brother Zhan Yu, great elder etc.”

“Let’s hope so.” Tantai Lingyan sighed softly.

“Don’t worry. I can guarantee your wish will definitely come true.” Qing Shui seriously spoke as he looked at Tantai Lingyan.

“Let’s go. Shall we go for a walk at that place? Let me show you some of the demonic beasts I subdued.” After speaking, Qing Shui didn’t wait for her to reply and instantly pulled her along as they vanished and appeared again in a mountain valley.

Tantai Lingyan didn’t know what to say to Qing Shui’s domineering behavior. She didn’t feel put off by it and wasn’t angered as well. She was actually slowly getting accustomed to it and she knew it herself.

Was this really something she was getting accustomed to? Or was it because she didn’t reject it at all in her heart? If not, he wouldn’t dare to do this right? Also now...he was so tyrannical, holding onto her hand. He was too much at times, yet it was clear he knew how to maintain the proper distance, tiptoeing and dancing around the boundaries.

With a wave of his hand, Qing Shui summoned the Hell Nightmare Beast. Its body was earthen yellow. Only its gigantic head and four paws was completely black. Its claws shimmered with a cold luster, appearing heavy and incomparably sharp.

“You actually have the ability to cause a demonic beast to mutate?” Tantai Lingyan stared in astonishment at Qing Shui. Her sexy soul-stirring mouth was slightly apart, causing Qing Shui to want nothing more than to kiss her while sticking his tongue into her mouth.

Qing Shui licked his lips a little and shifted his eyes away with difficulty. Tantai Lingyan turned her head away upon noticing Qing Shui’s expression. Even her earlobes turned pink when she saw his expression.

“The method I’m using has a high failure rate, as much as 90%. Luckily I succeeded this time around. Not only does this demonic beast have the ability of super shield beasts, it even has some of the abilities of the Black Diamond Rat King. It also grants its owner an extremely powerful ability.” Qing Shui smiled as he stared at her. At this moment, there was a gentle softness in his gaze.
