AST 1835 - Sacred Mountain, Luo Slaughter Palace (1/2)

Qing Shui ultimately decided to head to the Vampiric Demoness Hills, as he didn’t want to leave behind any regrets. He believed in fate, as in this vast world, even enemies had to be fated to meet. It was also a form of fate to be enemies. Since there were so many other people in the world, why did it have to be you?

Qing Shui first visited the Sacred Mountain as he had some connections with them. It hadn’t been long since his farewell, but many things had happened since then, making this feel like a distant memory.

Sacred Mountain!

Qing Shui did not spend much time lollygagging. He rushed straight to the Sacred Mountain in ten days and coincidentally met Ru Meng at the entrance.

Ru Meng was the head maid that he had encountered the first time he had come and she was shocked to see him, then she smiled, “What brings you here?”

Qing Shui suddenly felt that the world was always changing. This cold and unapproachable woman actually smiled to welcome him.

“I’ve come here to handle a few things, is your Palace Mistress around?”

“She’s here. She knew you would come, but you came earlier than expected.” Ru Meng smiled as she turned to lead the way.

Qing Shui followed behind her, treading towards the peak of Sacred Mountain. He was still surprised that Sheng Jun would be so certain of his return. Muyun Qingge had spilled the beans when they left, and with her intelligence, it wasn’t hard to figure out what had happened.

He even asked Sheng Jun to take care of the Vampiric Empress. So, her confidence was not extremely surprising.

After walking for a while, they quickly reached the peak. It was still the same as before and he just happened to see a woman walking out.

Sheng Jun!

This woman was like an untainted fairy; she gave the same vibes as Yiye Jiange did, but there were only some similarities. Yiye Jiange felt purer and untainted, while this woman gave off an aura of immortality and undeniable nobility.

A pair of starry and incandescent eyes revealed a warm friendly smile. This was the major difference between her and Yiye Jiange. Although she seemed unapproachable, she was actually very amiable.

“You’ve come!”

Sheng Jun smiled as she spoke. It was like a reunion between old friends, not extremely close but very natural. At the peak of the mountain, the clouds floating around her painted a picture of a gorgeous immortal.

“I hope Fairy Jun is doing well!” Qing Shui smiled as he nodded, responding to her greeting.

Ru Meng had quietly left of her own accord.

“You left so hastily last time. I’ve already prepared a banquet.” Sheng Jun invited him.

Qing Shui was stunned, “You knew I was coming?”

“I had a feeling.”

“To think you understood me so well…”

“I don’t understand you.” Sheng Jun smiled, no longer playful and flirtatious, but a firm expression of intolerance towards anyone infringing upon her.

Qing Shui was not trying to take advantage of her. He was only realizing his folly after her response, but her clever words clearly spelled out their relationship.

Qing Shui awkwardly rubbed his nose and refrained from speaking, as that would only further the idea that he had designs on her, so he laughed it off as he followed her into the main hall.

There were only two of them at the banquet. Qing Shui was taken aback, but not surprised. Since out of all the members of the Sacred Mountain, he only knew her. Hence, she would naturally refrain from inviting others, as that would just make things more complicated.
