AST 2234 - Trouble Arose from a Bite, Beihuang Fan’s Cave Realm (1/2)

The Imperial Cuisine Hall had grown larger now with the influx of new people. There were some who came over from the Taiyi Immortal Palace, and even Beihuang Liefeng was there.

The Golden Yakshas were allied with the Demon Gate. Qing Shui’s victory was equivalent to breaking a limb off of the Demon Gate. It didn’t matter whether the Demon Gate or the Golden Yakshas were the limb to the main body. Either way, it was a great loss to the Demon Gate and the Five Tiger Immortal Palace.

The Divine Palace and the Taiyi Immortal Palace were more than pleased to hear the news. The opponents had been old nemeses of theirs and it was only natural for them to be happy when these enemies were weakened.

The Golden Battle God suggested Qing Shui to take over the Divine Palace once more but Qing Shui declined. Instead, he asked, “Elder, is there something called the Nine Continents Divine Palace?”

Golden Battle God grew silent. Qing Shui had posed the question when there wasn’t anyone else around.

“Yes. It’s a superior existence. If you ever meet them one day, you must think of a way to join the Nine Continents Divine Palace,” Golden Battle God gave a straight answer.

“Doesn’t the Divine Palace surpass the Nine Continents Divine Palace? Is it that crucial to join the Nine Continents Divine Palace?” Qing Shui asked curiously.

The Golden Battle God let a bitter laugh slip and said, “The Nine Continents Divine Palace is the mightiest existence among all Divine Palaces. While that doesn’t provide much affirmation, any Divine Palace would feel a sense of belonging with the Nine Continents Divine Palace. It is the headquarters of all Divine Palaces. A holy place. It is the mightiest existence which surpasses my years in multiples. It has been passed down for countless years. It is near impossible to ever surpass the Nine Continents Divine Palace.”

Qing Shui understood now. The existence of the Nine Continents Divine Palace was real and it was the peak of the golden pyramid. Besides the Nine Continents Divine Palace, there were many others with the Nine Continents as part of their label.

There would surely be a chance for him to meet them. Pushing the thoughts about the palace aside, Qing Shui focused his energy on strengthening himself again as well as the Divine Palace.

Beihuang Fan smiled at Qing Shui and said, “Not bad!”

Qing Shui chuckled and asked, “Did you miss me that much after just a few days?”

Beihuang Liefend watched as his daughter’s smile was laced with a tint of embarrassment and annoyance. The sight made his heart swell with relief and happiness. After all, he had been worried about his daughter for all these years.

Beihuang Fan’s face flushed a deeper red when she noticed her dad’s smile.

“Father-in-law, this is a little gift from your son-in-law. I Hope you’d find it to your liking.” Qing Shui presented a variety of items, of which some were of the alcohol variety.

“You jerk.” Beihuang Fan wanted to strangle Qing Shui.

“Hahaha, alright. I’ll accept it. You must take good care of Fan’er.” Beihuang Liefeng responded gleefully.

“Father…” Beihuang Fan retorted with a mixture of annoyance and anxiousness.

Others smiled as they watched her, before turning to Qing Shui. ‘You just barely met the mark for the Goddess of the Northern Emperor.’

Beihuang Fan was the most beautiful woman, the goddess of the Northern Emperor Domain.

“I didn’t accept anything, so it doesn’t matter what you said,” Beihuang Fan snapped angrily before turning on her heel and walking away.

Qing Shui couldn’t tell if she was truly angry or just embarrassed. At this moment, Beihuang Liefeng chuckled and said, “Imp, stop standing there and go coax her.”

Qing Shui scratched his head and replied, “Alright, I’ll go right now.”

Beihuang Fan was alone in the backyard, venting to no one about Qing Shui being a jerk.

“Little Fan Fan, you’re becoming more and more like a delicate lady. Here, let your husband coax you,” Qing Shui spoke up shamelessly.

“Disgusting. Get away.” Beihuang Fan glared at Qing Shui.
