AST 1590 - Victory, How About Sharing Your Man? (2/2)
Qing Shui couldn’t be bothered with summoning the Dragon Slaying Beast either. It would be such a waste if he didn’t use this sandbag to its full extent, showering it in attacks. The amount of killing techniques he could use was as endless as the waves in the Yangtze River.
At this moment, Qing Shui was incomparably relaxed, like he was able to do as he pleased.
While Qing Shui was enjoying the moment, the Silver Battle King Crab was tired of withstanding his blows. The huge body was sustaining injuries in quick succession. There were more than a few times when Qing Shui’s attack had even pierced holes through his remaining weapons.
While his weapons were not divine artefacts, they were still of legendary grade. It was now that he truly realized the astounding strength of the young man. However, like drowning amidst huge waves, there was not turning back for him now.
The Silver Battle King Crab was from an ancient battle bloodline; even with his combat skills and endurance, he was still pushed to the extent that he had ran out of breath. Even his strength didn’t seemed to be able to catch up with the battle; all four arms and four legs were sore.
How long had it been since he last felt this way? This time, he was already beaten to this state even before the fifteen minutes were up.
He knew that the battle was over too quickly and with his passivity, the exhaustion of strength had greatly increased too. Under the effect of the Ancient Battle Blood, the consumption was thrice the usual rate.
Qing Shui had never battled with such pleasure and even though he took quite a beating in the midst of it, he inflicted more damage in comparison. He was practically unscathed from the attacks he endured, but the injuries on the Silver Battle King Crab were apparent. Not fatal, but still soaked in blood.
The longer he fought, the more courageous Qing Shui got, as though he didn’t have the word exhaustion in his dictionary. That wasn’t all. The more he fought, the easier it got for him as well, and he could feel his strength increase as the minutes passed.
The people of the Sea King’s Palace were cheering loudly and ceaselessly.
“Not only does the Guardian of our Sea King’s Palace have the most potential, he is also the strongest. How powerful must he be to defeat the Silver Battle King Crab of the Sunset Palace at such a young age!”
“Exactly! It seems like the Sea King’s Palace will rise soon.”
“Guardian Qing Shui belongs to the Second Palace Mistress, and only she is a compatible match to this young man.”
“What are you talking about? It should be Qing Shui who’s a compatible match to our Second Palace Mistress.”
“That’s right, and the First Palace Mistress isn’t inferior to the Second Palace Mistress either. It’s only that she didn’t have the Immortal Aura. I heard First Palace Mistress fancies Guardian Qing Shui too.”
“We better not discuss this. Whether she fancies him or not isn’t something we should concern ourselves with. All we need to do is stay loyal to the Sea King’s Palace, and work hard for the Sea King’s Palace. Only when it’s strong can we safeguard our lives and kins.”
“That’s right, I was born in the Sea King’s Palace and I’ll stay here as a ghost even after I die.”
……
On the other hand, the Sunset Palace was dispirited. Even with the crowd of people that gathered, no one uttered a single sound. They seemed to be in disbelief that their Silver Battle King Crab—the strong warrior that they respected so much—was this badly defeated. With the aggravation, they would love to be able to rush forward and knock Qing Shui down.
“Come back, you’re defeated. Let’s go back!”
An elegant voice sounded and Qing Shui could identify it straight away. It was the Mistress of Sunset Palace.
The Silver Battle King Crab stopped all his movements at the sound of the voice. Although reluctant, rather dying than staying alive like this, he still respected his Palace Mistress. Whatever his Palace Mistress wanted him to do, he would do without a frown or with any objections. All he ever had was given by the Mistress of Sunset Palace, and it was her who saved his life before as well.
Naturally, Qing Shui stopped too.
“We’ll withdraw in fifteen minutes. We’ll forget about this matter, but if you refuse to accept, you can discuss this with me at the Sunset Palace.” The woman didn’t speak any more after.
Qing Shui didn’t reply either. He knew that this was an excuse for the woman to retreat. Although the Silver Battle King Crab had managed to keep his own life, he still bore a great burden. Even so, it would be hard for him to improve his cultivation any further, so there wasn’t much of a sacrifice.
Qing Shui returned without a word. At the end of the battle, the two women returned to the tent, deep in conversation about his fight.
“How strong are you? It seems like we’ve found a treasure this time.” A smile decorated Muyun Qingge’s beautiful face.
“I told you, I can take a beating, but I’m really not all that strong. Am I really a treasure?” With a smile, Qing Shui looked towards Yiye Jiange.
Desolation flitted across Muyun Qingge’s eyes, but she still managed a grin. “You’re Jiange’s treasure. She has changed a lot since your arrival. If this goes on, that insatiable spark in her will be buried by you.”
Muyun Qingge was definitely brave in saying those words, as even Yiye Jiange didn’t have the words to retort. With a flushed face and an annoyed glance towards Muyun Qingge, she retorted. “I told you it’s time to find a man.”
“How about sharing your man?” Muyun Qingge said with a giggle. She had said it as a joke, but that was how humans were. The worse they were at cracking such an obvious joke, the more likely they actually meant something by it.
