AST 2057 - The Blazing Fire Domain (1/2)

“I am sorry. Can you please listen to me and don’t give up until the last moment?” Qing Shui regretted hitting her butt just now. He had been too careless.

He also didn’t know why he would suddenly do that. After all, their relationship had yet to develop to the point where he could do that. What he did was rude. It might have to do with the time when Shen Huang embraced Qing Shui or let him hold her hand.

“I don’t blame you. No one has ever dared to do that to me. Since my life is about to end, this might be the closest interaction that I have ever had with a man.” Shen Huang blushed. She said it very softly.

Qing Shui’s heart shook. He had even begun to think that he wanted to make Shen Huang his own woman. However, he knew that he mustn’t take advantage of other people’s misfortune. Shen Huang might not reject it if Qing Shui was to suggest something that was over the line. However, Qing Shui was unable to get himself to do that. Doing so would just make him unhappy for the rest of his life.

The bell for the New Year has rung. It was like the great ball across heaven and earth. The ring from the bell marked that the previous year had ended and a New Year was about to begin.

“Eldest Mistress, let’s make some preparations to head off to the Blazing Fire Domain.” Qing Shui said in a firm tone.

“Qing Shui!” Shen Huang was about to say something but stopped halfway.

“Why are you so good to me? Our relationship isn’t worth for you risk your life like this.” Shen Huang looked at Qing Shui.

“Are you suspecting that I might be thirsting for your body to the point I can even throw away my own life?” Qing Shui smiled and asked.

“You aren’t someone like that. I believe in you.” Shen Huang said in a serious tone.

“If I tell you that I am seeking to get your heart and make you fall for me, will you believe me?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Then do you love me?”

Qing Shui shook his head, “I don’t!”

“You are a player. You have many wives, and every one of them is beauties that can topple over cities. But for some reason, I just can't get myself to hate you. Even as a woman, I don’t have any friends, not to mention men. I can't help but feel that I am a failure?” Shen Huang laughed as she made fun of herself.

Qing Shui felt that Shen Huang was a very lonely person. She had no relatives and friends. He couldn't imagine how she lived her life. The only thing she had left was her subordinates. There were many things which she could get others to do for her. It was not that she didn’t try to interact with anyone, nor was it that there was no one who wanted to be her friends. The problem was the people, who got close to her, had agendas. Thus, she never viewed them as real friends.

“Who said that you are alone? Don’t you consider me as a friend of yours?”

“Yes. You are my friend. I have already treated you as one since a long time ago. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come looking for you to celebrate my New Year, and I also wouldn’t have found you at a time like this.” Shen Huang muttered a few words.

“Alright, let’s head off to the Blazing Fire Domain.” Qing Shui told Big Tiger that he would be leaving for a while and requested him to say hi to Yu Xixuan on his account after New Year. He also said that he would be back within a month.

After packing some stuff, Qing Shui gazed at the fireworks in the sky before he grabbed Shen Huang and vanished immediately. The Nine Continents Step!

Qing Shui used the Nine Continents Step a few times in a row. From the map, he could tell that the Blazing Fire Domain was located very far away from the Northern Blue Domain. If he was to rush his way there, it would take quite a long time even with the Nine Continents Step. Shen Huang had less than a few days left to live, thus, Qing Shui immediately marked a location close to the Blazing Fire Domain with his Five Elements Space.

Moving on, Qing Shui brought Shen Huang along and instantly arrived at that place.
