AST 1522 - Moonlight Tree, Moonlight Dew, Sacred Might Dynasty, Black Dragon (1/2)

Qing Shui felt nothing as he gazed at the men who had fainted on the ground. He smiled and walked toward Qin Qing and said, “My wife, your husband has beaten them. No one will dare to bully you again.”

The spectators maintained a safe distance to watch the situation unfold when they saw people fought here. They seemed to be discussing something too. Qing Shui’s hearing was exceptional. He could hear what those people were saying quite clearly too.

“It would be great if he can kill these people. It will be quiet and tranquil around here then.”

“That’s right. Those people are tyrannical. I pity my granddaughter - she was killed by these same people.”

“The good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished. Is this really a punishment for the evil this time? I really hope the gods have finally opened their eyes and punish them.”

…...

When Qin Qing heard Qing Shui’s words, she gave him a stare that seemed happy yet displeased at the same time before she walked away. Even though this incident was insignificant, it still had an effect on everyone.

Before Qing Shui left, he told the crowd that these people had been crippled to the point of being without a cultivation base, and they would not bully or hurt people anymore. He wanted everyone to know that they don’t need to be afraid of them any longer.

Even though these people didn’t know what kind of person Qing Shui and Qin Qing were, they knew that the evil in this area had been exterminated. However, Qing Shui was well aware that other criminals would eventually show up even if these people had been defeated. In spite of that, Qing Shui felt there was no need for him to interfere with these things anymore.

Since he had encountered this matter during his visit, he didn’t mind lending out a hand to help them. Besides, these people had actually tried to plan something against him. Weren’t they asking for trouble by doing so?

Qing Shui didn’t kill them. They were just some small bunch of criminals. Although some of them had a cultivation base that was considered to be strong in this area, Qing Shui couldn’t make sense of the situation. Brother Gou’s power was sufficient enough to create a powerful family clan in the Moonlight City. There was no need for them to come out as arrogant and presumptuous….

To be honest, Qing Shui wasn’t aware that Brother Gou had gotten an unexpected encounter this time. His natural characteristic was that of a quack and a hooligan. Even though he had some power, he liked that sort of style, which was much more arrogant than it was before. His behavior was that of a poor man, who would be anxious about his meal every day, but when he had money all of the sudden, he would buy a lot of rice and steamed buns. He didn’t even think of buying fishes or meat to satisfy his hunger…..

They would have to blame themselves for being unlucky. They were destined to end up in this misfortune.

Qing Shui and Qin Qing strolled for one round and went back to the inn. The inn was average, yet it was considered to be on a decent ranking in the Moonlight City.

A lot of people were having supper in here. Qing Shui suggested that they should have supper as well while stargazing in the night sky at the main hall.

Qin Qing nodded her head. Both of them then sat down on the seats next to the window. After a while, a waitress came to serve them while carrying their dishes on a decorative tray.

“Miss, I would like to inquire you about something. Do you know why this city is called Moonlight City?” Qing Shui asked the waitress as she was about to leave.

“Well, everyone here knows about it. The reason for your question is that this city is next to Moonlight Mountain.” The waitress replied with a smile.

“What about Moonlight Mountain? Is it famous?” Qing Shui randomly asked.

“Moonlight Mountain isn’t really famous, but it’s well-known for this part of the area. The mountain is filled with ferocious wild beasts, and it is said that there are some Moonlight Trees growing on the mountain as well. The trees are sparkly and snow-white in color and they are quite beautiful. A few drops of dew will appear on top of those trees too. They are called Moonlight Dew. Wild beasts will become more violent after eating those things. Moreover, the dews can be used as medicine to treat illness. The uses for these dews are aplenty, but the amount you can get is quite scarce.” The waitress explained patiently.

Moonlight Dew. Qing Shui was stunned. He had an impression of this thing and based on his memory, Moonlight Dew had the ability to increase the cultivation base of demonic beasts. He wasn’t sure whether the Moonlight Dew in this place has the same ability to do so. But as he listened to the waitress’ explanation, he felt that it would be possible with the Moonlight Dew here.

After the waitress had left, Qing Shui beamed, “Come with me to Moonlight Mountain and have a look!”

“Alright!” Qin Qing briskly agreed.

Qin Qing would normally talk with a few words, but occasionally, she would speak more than that. Sometimes, she would be stunningly cold, but at times, she would be like a vixen. However, Qing Shui was afraid to go closer to her when she was like that. She was simply was an unfathomable woman.

After they had supper, both of them left the inn and flew straight to Moonlight Mountain.

Moonlight Mountain wasn’t restricted for entry. People would make a living according to the given circumstances. This Moonlight Mountain had brought an imponderable wealth to the Moonlight City. One could say that half of the population in the Moonlight City was raised through their reliance on Moonlight Mountain.

Both of them managed to rush to Moonlight Mountain. The moon in the night sky illuminated the entire land like snow as if the ground had been draped with a snow-white layer of silver silk. This was a feeling of unspeakable pureness.

Perhaps because it was already night time, he was able to feel a faint coldness penetrating his skin. It felt quite comfortable. There was only one entrance to Moonlight Mountain in this borderland. This place was very quiet as they could only hear the singing of the insects around the area.

The sparkling snow-white Moonlight Trees should be easy to find. However, that woman said these things were valuable, and these trees would normally be found in the deeper areas of the mountain. Qing Shui immediately released his Dragon Slaying Beast.

Other than the extreme lethality of the Dragon Slaying Beast, it was also well-equipped with the ability of the Treasure Hunting Pig to seek treasures. He believed that this demonic beast should be able to lead him to find the Moonlight Trees.

He took Qin Qing and used the Nine Continents Steps immediately, appearing at the deeper parts of the Moonlight Mountains in an instant. The temperature in this area was lower than that at the borderland. At least the dripping water in this place could definitely be turned into icicles.

With the weather being this cold, could there possibly be dews formed on the tree? However, when he remembered that the dew wasn’t some sort of ordinary dew, he understood immediately. It should be possible to find those dews.

Both of them strolled through the mountains and searched around for the Moonlight Tree. Instantaneously, there were able to spot one. With one look at the tree, they were able to confirm that this was the Moonlight Tree they had been looking for.

This Moonlight Tree wasn’t that tall. The height of it was as tall as a human being. The tree was snow-white in color as if it had been covered in a layer of snow. It was filled with luscious leaves as well, yet the size of the foliage could only extend to about less than two meters apart. In spite of that, the tree itself was quite beautiful.

Qing Shui used his Heavenly Vision Technique to analyze the tree!
