AST 1518 - I’m at the peak of false gods. What capabilities do you have to fight against me? (1/2)

When Qing Shui heard Qin Qing’s words, he knew that she was alright and didn’t mind. But he still continued pressing on, “Let me take a look. As long as I know for sure you are fine, I will leave here. If not, I will stay here to guard you forever.”

When the sound of his voice faded, Qing Shui felt his words were extremely mushy and even filled with ambiguous affection. He knew it wasn’t suitable but since the words were already spoken, there was nothing he could do about it.

Qin Qing was silent behind that door. Qing Shui stood outside with trepidation in his heart. He didn’t know when, but he actually started to care for this woman.

Qin Qing was very beautiful, able to cause an empire to topple. Qing Shui also knew that she was one of the portraits of beauty. When he had nothing to do, he would often see Qin Qing in his Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. Inside the realm, the time ratio was different from the outside world. He has already obtained Qin Qing’s portrait of beauty for over ten years hence Qing Shui felt that they have been acquainted since a very long time ago.

Suddenly, a clicking sound rang out as the door opened. A perfect figure appeared before Qing Shui, smiling at him. “I’m alright. You can rest at ease now!”

Qing Shui also laughed, but he didn’t know what to reply. Between the two of them, their friendship couldn’t be considered deep. But through the interactions between them recently, their friendship was definitely deeper compared to ordinary friends.

“What’s wrong with you?” Qin Qing felt a little panic when she saw Qing Shui staring in a daze at her. She couldn’t help but to lower her head.

“Mhm, nothing. It’s good that you are alright. Rest well, I will see you tomorrow.” Qing Shui got all panicky as he spoke. After that he waved his hand and departed, feeling awkward.

Qing Shui left. Qin Qing smiled as she stared at the vanishing back view of Qing Shui. In the depths of her heart, there was an explosion of the most brilliantly beautiful fireworks. Sadly, Qing Shui wasn’t able to see this.

Since the start, Qing Shui was always very calm but today, he was actually in a fluster. He realised that he has fallen in love with Qin Qing. But as to why he fallen in love with her, he wasn’t able to give voice to the reason.

If it’s because of her strength and beauty, Qing Shui didn’t believe so. If he loved someone, he didn’t merely love a part or two of them, but their entire being instead.

After returning, Qing Shui entered the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. Only after a long moment did he tidy up his thoughts. At the end, he still decided to let nature takes its cause and wouldn’t evade her intentionally.

The six-yang pill has finally been concocted and there was quite a number of them. However, the seven-yang pill still needed time to refine and concoct. Also, his experience bar has reached the limit and he couldn’t gain any more experience points in alchemy. Despite so, Qing Shui was too lazy to find out the reason why.

With the earth divine stone, the time to refine a seven-yang pill shorten by a fold.

……

Durin the next day, a special person appeared in the Imperial Cuisine Hall. This person was an old man, and although his aura wasn’t considered domineering, his character was extremely oppressive and demanded to see Qing Shui.

Just so coincidentally Qing Shui came down and noticed the old man instantly. Because the strength of the old man was very high, he appeared to be like a small sun to Qing Shui’s spiritual sense.

The old man looked extremely aged with a headful of white hair. But his muscles were taut and didn’t appear to be weakened despite his advanced age. His bright eyes shone with an ancient archaic air and his long brows and large mouth actually cause him to emanate a sense of heroism.

“Old man, what’s the reason for your presence here?” Qing Shui had a slight smile on his face as he walked over.

The old man studied Qing Shui for a long time to the point where Qing Shui almost cursed out loud, wondering if this old man was an old gay.

“I’m from the Hua Clan.” The simple words of the old man caused Qing Shui to start.
