AST 1538 - Black Demon Mountain, Poison Dragon Pool, Poison Dragon Flower? (1/2)

Qin Qing smiled while nodding. She then lifted her wine cup and drained it. Her beautiful eyes brightened all of a sudden.

“This is the nicest wine I’ve ever tasted. The immortal brews of legends are only ordinary when compared to this.” Qin Qing seriously spoke.

“If you like it, you can drink as much as you want.”

“You brewed this yourself?” Qin Qing’s beautiful eyes stared at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui thought for a while, then understood why she asked that question. This was because this wine couldn’t be bought anywhere and he himself said that she could drink as much as she wanted.

Qing Shui simply smiled.

After drinking a cup, Qin Qing became more and more astonished as she looked at Qing Shui. “This isn’t normal wine, it has the effect of cleansing one’s spirit and washing meridians while improving one’s foundations!”

“I have plenty of good items. I will gift some to you if you like.” Qing Shui naturally would give items to her if she liked it. He wanted to give them to her before this but there was no appropriate occasion.

“Sister Qing, have we brought trouble to the Qin King Manor this time around?” Qing Shui could see that Qin Qing was worried.

“Nope!” Qin Qing smiled, but a trace of worry still flickered in her eyes.

Qing Shui could sense it but didn’t probe further. She would tell him if she wanted to. It seemed like the Great Qin Dynasty wasn’t as peaceful as what it seemed on the surface. There were not many people in the Qin King Manor but everyone was extremely powerful. Perhaps, they had inadvertently become a threat to someone.

….

The next day, Qing Shui and many members of the Qin King Manor sat together and had a meal. More than half of the experts in the manor were present. The old man and Qin Baifo were extremely happy, staring at Qing Shui with delight in their eyes.

When Qing Shui saw their smiles, he also felt a little more relaxed in his heart. The Qin King Manor was much more powerful that he imagined. Maybe they truly had no regards for the Gu Clan. When he thought of the Gu Clan apologizing to him, he felt that things weren’t so simple.

Qin Qing was present as well. In front of her clan members, she was still as quiet as ever. Her nephews and nieces were all fond of this beautiful aunt. Qin Qing was very famous in Qin King City; everyone knew of her.

She was known as Fairy Qing, a beautiful and powerful woman. The number one in the youngest generation.

……

The matters between the Qin King Manor and the Gu Clan had temporarily quietened down. Qing Shui discovered that he has no other issues to attend to. He came here because of Qin Qing and now that her grandfather’s issue was solved, he had nothing to do. His current relationship with her was more than good friends but still had not reached the level of lovers yet.

“Qing Shui, let me bring you to a place.” Qin Qing led Qing Shui out of the manor.

“Where?” Qing Shui curiously asked.

“You will know once we have arrived.” Qin Qing laughed.

…….

Black Demon Mountains!

Qin Qing brought Qing Shui to a mountainous region which had a chilly black fog permeating the atmosphere. “There are several treasures in the mountains, but this black fog contains a very strong poison.”

Qing Shui thought of his Nature Energy and Area Dominance as he spoke, “I’m not afraid of poison. But are there any other dangers? I wonder if there’s any good items in there?”

“I’m not sure exactly what treasures you would find. But it’s extremely dangerous. We have to be careful.” Qin Qing shook her head and replied.

The Black Demon Mountains were considered a forbidden ground because of the poisonous miasma that permeated the atmosphere. There would very rarely be people going in, but there would still be some. Qin Qing was one of those who had entered before and she had unintentionally discovered an ancient ruin which was filled with extremely dangerous demonic beasts. She hurriedly exited that place and didn’t return ever since.

It has been over ten years since then. However, after she was acquainted with Qing Shui, she suddenly felt that there was a chance they could succeed if they explored the ruins.

“Take this, it can provide some protection against poison.” Qin Qing handed Qing Shui a pearl. After taking out the pearl, a silvery bright light winked into existence, with a boundary of ten meters.

Poison Avoidance Pearl!

Qing Shui had a Water Avoidance Pearl before and had heard of Fire Avoidance Pearls, as well as the avoidance pearls of the other elements. To think that he actually encountered a Poison Avoidance Pearl now. This could be considered as quite a good treasure.

“What about you?” Qing Shui asked. He saw that Qin Qing didn’t seem to have another pearl.

“My physique is unique, the majority of poisons wouldn’t affect me. When I came by in the past, I didn’t have a Poison Avoidance Pearl with me but I was completely fine.”

“My physique is special as well. You’d better take this, just in case.” Qing Shui returned the Poison Avoidance Pearl to Qin Qing.

Qin Qing didn’t receive it, “Are you a chauvinist?”

“Am I?” Qing Shui stared at her in surprised.

“Yes. And it’s a large portion of your character.” Qing Qin spoke seriously.

Qing Shui turned red, “How do you know that it is indeed ‘very large’?”

Qin Qing stared at Qing Shui’s expression. Realizing what he was referring to, she blushed instantly, “You are such a bad egg!”

Staring at the pouting Qin Qing, Qing Shui laughed. He pushed the Poison Avoidance Pearl into her hands, “Look, actually I have a Poison Avoidance Pearl as well.”

Qing Shui activated Area Dominance and a milky white halo of light surrounded them. The radius was even larger than the Poison Avoidance Pearl and its protection was even more thorough.

Upon seeing this, Qin Qing didn’t insist. However, she couldn’t help but smile in her heart at Qing Shui’s reference earlier. Although she felt a little weird, she wasn’t angry.
