AST 1697 - Killing Second Palace Lord (2/2)

“Qing Hanye is yours. I won’t fight with you anymore.”

Qing Shui looked at the Second Palace Lord with a frown creased on his forehead. He didn’t like hearing words coming out from the Second Palace Lord’s mouth and he didn’t particularly like seeing his face either. This kind of behavior didn’t seem to make him a man at all.

“I will not fight her for the Eastern Peak Dragonwolf Palace anymore. Just let me go!” the Second Palace Lord continued with a calm demeanor.

Qing Shui was shocked by his words. When he first saw the Second Palace Lord earlier, he thought that a talented man such as himself would not be one to give up that easily. Qing Shui had an impression that he would be a person who was willing to die rather than surrender himself. Yet, he didn’t expect this the Second Palace Lord to concede defeat this easily.

Instead of expressing his opinion directly, Qing Shui continued to approach the Second Palace Lord. It wasn’t necessary to drive a person to the edge, however. Initially, Qing Shui had planned to kill him, but now he was unsure as he pondered whether he should insist on killing him or not.

Qing Shui didn’t intend on killing someone in this sort of situation. He really had a hard time taking his life, as he would feel uncomfortable killing this person through this way. However, there might be problems in the future if he decided not to pull the roots after cutting the weed.

Qing Shui kept looking at him in order to see the hatred and malice in his eyes. As long as he was able to see any of those emotions, he could have easily killed him off. However, there were none of those in his eyes.

Qing Shui curled a smile on his face. Without any hesitation, he took his Golden Battle Halberd in his hand and pierced through the Second Palace Lord’s heart.

The calmer this man was, the more suspicious it was, especially during this sort of situation. Because of that, Qing Shui did not hesitate to kill him off. Everything would end once he had died.

The Second Palace Lord gazed at Qing Shui with bewilderment. Even until the point he died, he did not close his eyes. Based on his understanding toward Qing Shui, he shouldn’t have died. If he wasn’t dead, he would have a chance to exact revenge in the future. Unfortunately….

Qing Shui didn’t revel in the death of the the Second Palace Lord too much when he saw him falling over. With one swipe, Qing Shui disposed the corpse by dissipating it in water.

After standing on the same spot for a long time, Qing Shui then returned to the Sunset Sea King Palace. He didn’t go back to the Eastern Peak Dragonwolf Palace, for the Second Palace Lord was already dead. He believed that Qing Hanye would be able to have control of the Eastern Peak Dragonwolf Palace in her hands very soon. If that was the case, then even if there was a small breach, it would be crucial to the development in the future.

When he went back to the Sunset Sea King Palace, he saw a laid-back Yiye Jiange reading a book inside a pavilion near the pond at the courtyard. Her beautiful silhouette and her demeanor seemed to fit completely within the realms of Heaven and Earth. This was a harmonious and superb scenery.

When she heard Qing Shui’s footsteps approaching, Yiye Jiange turned her head to look at him. Seeing an understanding smile granted to her by Qing Shui, she gave him a look that could overthrow nations.

Unconsciously, Qing Shui put on the happiest smile on his face. His emotions were easily influenced by Yiye Jiange’s state of mind.

“Good boy. Were you naughty?” Qing Shui knelt beside Yiye Jiange and pressed half of his face at her slight stomach bump.

“Who did you fight with again?” Yiye Jiange asked softly. Even though Qing Shui had changed his clothes, she was able to sense that he had fought with someone. Perhaps this was an intuition of hers.

“The Second Palace Lord of Dragonwolf Palace. He is gone forever.” Qing Shui calmly replied. His voice did not waver in the slightest.

Yiye Jiange raised her head and gently caressed Qing Shui’s head. Her fingers slipped into his hair. She did not say anything else. Both of them enjoyed the silence for the moment.

“I don’t know when I will be able to settle down. I yearn for stability, but it seems getting peace isn’t that easy.” Yiye Jiange let out a quiet sigh.

In Qing Shui’s heart, Yiye Jiange was a pure and otherworldly woman. Yet because she was such a woman, she could never escape some of her mortal battles, no matter how hard she tried.

“Trust me. You will get some peace, and soon at that.” Qing Shui was unsure despite saying those words. He also knew that Yiye Jiange was extremely worried about the battle because of her pregnancy at the moment.

“I am already very content about my life. No matter what, I am very happy. The only thing I fear is that I might have troubled this little guy.” Yiye Jiange smiled and shook her head. At this exact moment, she was so holy and pure. Qing Shui was dazed and stunned by her demeanor.
