Heavenly Prison… It was a mysterious forbidden area and it was also a legend which circulated inside the Moxi Clan for millions of years. It was just 5000 years ago when the patriarch of the Moxi Clan opened a piece of ancient jade passed down by the ancestors. With that piece of jade, they managed to connect a space passage to the legendary Heavenly Prison. When the patriarch finally returned from the Heavenly Prison, his divine bloodline was greatly strengthened and he received a great boost to his strength. From then on, Heavenly Prison became one of the paths of trail that must be experienced by the Moxi Clan's patriarch candidate. Only by coming out alive from the Heavenly Prison would the individual receive the qualifications to succeed the position of the Moxi Clan patriarch.
According to the stories and legends left behind, the so-called Heavenly Prison was a place where souls were banished. People of the Divine Realm who violated the rules of the Divine Realm had their souls banished to the Heavenly Prison by Tianda and they would be stuck there for eternity. Within the Heavenly Prison, those banished souls were able to condense themselves into physical entities. They were able to unleash powerful attacks on the intruders, but they had no consciousness of their own. The moment anyone enters the Heavenly Prison, those souls would attack them relentlessly.
At this very moment, Li Qing held his Ice Sword and behind him. In front of him, there was a huge phantom of a god-beast which couldn't be seen clearly. His body was covered with blood and his handsome face pale to the extreme. After entering the Heavenly Prison, Li Qing was finally able to meet opponents who were able to threaten him. In front of him, there was a third grade god soul and several tens of angel souls.
Li Qing shouted loudly as he swung his Ice Sword. In an instant, he attacked the third grade god soul with cold qi emanating from his Ice Sword. Although the third grade gods were god of lower ranks in the Divine Realm, they were existences in the Blue Waves Continent. It completely ignored Li Qing's attack as it sent a punch towards Li Qing's chest.
Hong, Li Qing met the punch head on and was sent flying. In a flash, the angels surrounding Li Qing started to chase after him. They wanted to attack him while he was injured by the punch of the god-beast, but a rank 10 water magic appeared in the air. The rank 10 water magic, world of snow and ice, managed to slow the angels down and they were unable to catch up to Li Qing who was sent flying away by the punch. When Li Qing realized that he was falling towards a hillside, he took advantage of the terrain as he rolled downwards. Currently, Li Qing was in extreme pain as he felt as though every bone in his body was broken. His internal organs seemed as though they had been smashed into mush by that punch from the god-beast.
At this point, Li Qing didn't have the time to think about his injuries. His consciousness started to become hazy as Li Qing felt as though his life force was rapidly fading from his body.
"Congeal the senses, calm the qi. Disperse qi all over the body, limbs and bones. Stop all breathing and there would be no pulse..." At this moment, words flashed through the mind of Li Qing. This was the lifesaving technique Long Yi had taught him before leaving. It was known as Tortoise Breathing **. In an instant, Li Qing activated this technique as he stopped breathing altogether. Although he seemed to have died, his managed to maintain his body vitality. Moreover, the function of his entire body was also maintained. This was a peerless lifesaving technique.
Actually, Li Qing played a little trick when he was facing the god and angel souls. If he didn't resort to any tricks and fought the souls head-on, he would have been dead long ago and he would never have the chance to use his Tortoise Breathing **. The strength behind the punch was no laughing matter. It was the full strength punch of a third grade god soul… With Li Qing's current strength, there was no way he would be able to escape unscathed from the punch. When faced with the punch, Li Qing had no way to run as he was surrounded by the angel souls. However, he spotted the hillside in the distance and decided that he had to land in the hillside in order to survive. As a result, he faced the punch of the god soul head-on and placed a bet with his life on the line. When that punch of that third grade god almost smashed into him, Li Qing instantly made that phantom of god-beasts behind him appear in front of him. They forcefully blocked the punch, and Li Qing quickly casted the rank 10 water magic. The moment the world of snow and ice appeared to slow down the souls, Li Qing instantly activated his Tortoise Breathing ** in order to trick the souls. Thinking that Li Qing was already dead, the souls started to drift away.
Li Qing won the bet. At least, it appeared so for the time being. He managed to barely keep his life. As a matter of fact, Li Qing really drew the shortest stick this time. In this mysterious forbidden area, the majority of the souls were ordinary angels and other stuff which had the strength of angels. There were extremely little god souls, and the number of these third grade god souls could be counted on one hand. In the Divine Realm, Main Gods were on the top of the hierarchy. Under the Main Gods, there were Gods of the first to fifth grade. Generally, only fifth grade god souls would be trapped in the Heavenly Prison. Since the time the Heavenly Prison was made into a path of trail, every patriarch which emerged from the Heavenly Prison had never met a soul of a god higher than the fifth grade before. However, Li Qing managed to meet the soul of a third grade god inside the Heavenly Prison... There was only one explanation, Li Qing had really bad luck.
......…
Nine Deviation Village was located at the border of the Proud Moon Empire. Inside the Moxi Village, all the Moxi clansmen had gathered and appeared to be discussing something. Even Si Bi, her cousin Susu and her cousin-in-law were present in the meeting. All of them were waiting for the final result of 18th Path of Test, the Heavenly Prison.
Many people recognized Si Bi, and they didn't feel as though anything was off as she was wearing her signature hood.
There was a time limit for the opening of the space passage linking to the Heavenly Prison. Five hours on the Blue Waves Continent was equivalent to five days inside the Heavenly Prison. The ancient jade handed down in the Moxi Clan was able to keep the space passage open for Five Hours on the Blue Waves Continent. As such, the individual taking the trail would have to stay in the Heavenly Prison for five days before coming out. After five days, the person taking the trail would be sent out regardless. Naturally, there were many patriarch candidates in the history of the Moxi Clan who fell at the final pass. They were sent out of the Heavenly Prison with a corpse and they had to be brought back to the clan in a coffin. However, there were cases where the candidate didn't return. There was only one reason for his, and it was that they were completely annihilated inside the Heavenly Prison and their body was completely destroyed.
Si Bi looked at the timer in the middle of the square and muttered, "Ten more minutes, Li Qing, you must preserve."
Yes, despite the exceeding complexities between Si Bi and Li Qing, there was a complicated relationship existing between the two of them. It was impossible for them to become lovers in their life, however, they still cared for each other regardless. For Si Bi, she treated Li Qing as her younger brother. As such, she was worried for this younger brother when he entered the Heavenly Prison. She didn't want to see him fall and fail to become the Moxi Clan patriarch.
Susu patted Si Bi's hand as she said, "Don't worry, Li Qing will be fine."
Si Bi nodded her head and took a deep breath. Then, she finally said, "Yes, we should believe in him. He will certainly return alive because he has yet to see my husband."
Susu stared at Si Bi with a strange expression on her face as she asked, "Why does Li Qing coming out have to do with your husband? What's the connection between him and your husband??"
Si Bi smiled and replied, "To Li Qing, my husband occupies a higher position in his heart compared to me."
"Don't speak nonsense." Susu clearly didn't believe anything Si Bi was saying.
Si Bi no longer explained herself. She couldn't tell Susu the matter about Li Qing becoming Long Yi's servant. Besides, Long Yi had always treated Li Qing like a brother instead of a servant. The true question was whether the complicated relationship between Li Qing and Si Bi could be resolved. Was Li Qing really able to let go of the feelings he had for Si Bi?
As the patriarch of the Moxi Clan looked at the time, he had a calm expression on his face. However, hidden behind his calm expression was a tempest of emotions. His heart had already tightened up long ago as he was praying to the gods that Li Qing would be able to emerge from the Heavenly Prison alive. Li Qing was his blood and flesh. As the patriarch's son, Li Qing was entrusted with the patriarch's great expectations. If anything were to happen to Li Qing, as a father, the patriarch would be unable to control his emotions.
"Patriarch, there is only one minute left." The words of an elder made the sturdy body of the patriarch tremble. Unknowingly, the patriarch had his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles had become white.
This moment, all the clansmen of the Moxi Clan had their hearts in their mouths as they waited for the final moment to pass. No one knew when it happened, as the sky had already lost its luster and a cold wind started to brew. Big snowflakes started floating down from the sky as the whole world was covered in a blanket of white.
"Qian'er, what happened? Aren't you worried about Li Qing?" A beautiful girl grabbed the girl called Qian'er at her side and asked with concern in her voice. These girls were the ones who were talking about Li Qing when he had returned from the 17th path of test, the Underworld Demonic Forest. The girl called Qian'er was one of the girls inside the Moxi Clan who developed feelings for the aloof and handsome Li Qing.
"Big sister, I am fine. However, I have this nagging feeling inside me. Do you think the young patriarch would meet with an accident inside? He wouldn't be in trouble would he?" This beautiful girl called Qian'er covered her mouth as she said with a pale face
"Stupid little sister, young patriarch is so wise and mighty! How would anything bad happen to him." The other girl started to console Qian'er.
Finally, the timer started to ring as it signaled the end of the trail. Everyone instantly opened their eyes wide as they waited for Li Qing to be transported out.
A burst of dazzling light blinded everyone in the room as Li Qing appeared in the middle of the room. His clothes were stained with blood and his eyes were closed.
"Qing'er..." looking at the appearance of his beloved son, the patriarch of the Moxi Clan was no longer able to maintain his dignified appearance. He rushed up to examine Li Qing.
"Ah... How can this be? How could this happen? Qing'er..." The patriarch of the Moxi Clan checked Li Qing's pulse before he checked for his breath. In an instant, the patriarch's face turned white. With a loud roar, he collapsed into the snowland with tears flowing from his aged eyes.
When the rest of the clan members saw how their patriarch was acting, they had a clear idea on what had happened. They started to bawl as they stared at the lifeless figure of Li Qing in the middle of the room. Their young patriarch, the hope of their Moxi Clan had fallen at the final pass.
"Impossible, impossible… Li Qing cannot die." Si Bi muttered absent-mindedly as her vision blurred.
On the other hand, Qian'er was unable to accept the fact that Li Qing was dead and she fainted on the spot. At this moment, Qian'er wasn't the only girl who had fainted when they realized that their young patriarch was dead.
The elders behind the patriarch sighed simultaneously as they got ready to take away Li Qing's corpse.
"All of you get out of my way. There is no way Li Qing would die inside the Heavenly Prison!" Si Bi rushed over as she casted Holy Light Illuminating Heaven Magic.
As she rushed forward, she didn't have the time to care about her appearance. Her hood fell off her head as her long green hair fell past her shoulders. The clear and beautiful face appeared in front of everyone as she pushed past the elders who were already beside Li Qing.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at SI Bi. The elders were no exception.
"You are Si Bi?" One of the elders hesitated when he asked. Of course, he recognized Si Bi. However, he was shocked at her transformation. Wasn't she extremely ugly in the past?
Si Bi didn't reply the elder. She squatted in front of Li Qing's body as she recalled about the times she had spent with him. She felt sick in her heart when she thought about this younger brother of hers. When Si Bi examined Li Qing's breathing and pulse like the elders, she suddenly sensed that in the midst of the Li Qing's ice cold body, there was a trace of warmth flowing through his body. Could it be...
Si Bi's expression hardened as she wiped the tears off her face. Pressing her finger against Li Qing's neck, she started checking for his pulse again. No one bothered her. Si Bi's actions ignited the hopes of all the clansmen again. Seeing as Si Bi would suddenly become serious and check for signs of life, they naturally knew that it was possible that their young patriarch was still alive
Si Bi finally managed to feel a weak pulse after waiting for a long time. Instantly, she broke into a radiant smile as she declared, "Li Qing is not dead. He is still alive."
Regarding the concern Si Bi had towards Li Qing, nobody had anything to say about it. Under such circumstances, if Si Bi didn't have any emotional fluctuation, everyone would have thought that she was a heartless monster. Other than romantic love, familial love and friendship existed between the both of them.

The Hengduan Mountains was located a distance away from the border of the Proud Moon Empire. As such, it wasn't seriously affected by the cold weather as it was blanketed by lush green grass and towering trees.
Barbarian Bull appeared especially excited. His eyes emitted burning hot brilliance as he hummed a popular some from the beast-men clans.
"Barbarian Bull, stop, stop! We are going to rest here for now." Long Yi called out to Barbarian Bull who was still in high spirits. They had been on the road for a full day now. Could it be that this bull didn't know what hunger was?
"Boss, why are we resting again?" Barbarian Bull grumbled unwillingly. Seeing as how he was about to reach his hometown, he wanted nothing but to rush home as soon as possible. He wanted to see his beloved wife as quickly as possible. He hasn't seen her in two whole years!
"Don't be too hasty. You have to take a break in order to have energy later! How else would you be able to have a good sleep tonight without sufficient rest?" Long Yi smirked as he sat down under the shade of a big tree nearby.
Laughing foolishly, Barbarian Bull scratched his bull horns in embarrassment.
As Long Yi leaned against the huge tree, he stared far into the distance. Currently, they were in the vicinity of the Barbarian Bull Clan. At the same time, the Elven Forest wasn't far away. When Long Yi thought of Lu Xiya whom he had not seen for an extremely long time, his heart burned.
"My husband, look at Nika. She looks troubled..." Nalan Ruyue pulled on Long Yi sleeves as she said.
Turning his head, Long Yi looked at Nika who had the elven bow slung on her back. She was sitting on a large stone not far away as she stared blankly into the distance. She was sitting alone as her white jade-like legs were slightly trembling.
"What else could Nika be thinking about? Isn't she just thinking about this guy over here?" Bertha said as she shot a glance towards Long Yi. If someone were to say that there was nothing between Nika and Long Yi, Bertha would be the first to bite them to death. She would rather be beaten to death than to believe that there was nothing going on between Long Yi and Nika.
"Yes she is probably thinking of someone, but she isn't daring enough to make her moves on him." Nalan Ruyue snorted as she rolled her eyes at Bertha.
Bertha's eyes darted around as her face turned redder than a tomato. She stuck her tongue out at Nalan Ruyue without speaking.
Long Yi hesitated for a moment before standing up. He slowly made his way towards Nika as he had a weird look on his face. Currently, Nika rested her chin on her palms as those clever and beautiful eyes looked blurred. She appeared as though she was thinking about something and there was something weighing down in her heart.
"What's wrong? We are about to arrive at the Elven Forest. Aren't you happy?" Long Yi jumped on the stone and sat beside Nika. As her long hair fluttered in the wind, Long Yi managed to catch a whiff of her natural fragrance.
Coming back to her senses, Nika seemed as though she wanted to move away from Long Yi. However, she didn't move in the end as she sat there in the middle of the stone.
"I don't know. At first, I thought that I would be happy when we reach the Elven Forest as I would be able to join my people again. However, I don't feel any joy at the moment." Nika said in a soft voice as she appeared to have become extremely lonely. Her heart seemed to be enveloped with a layer of dense fog, and even she had no idea what she was feeling at the moment.
Long Yi opened his mouth to console her, but he had no idea what to say. In the end, he closed his mouth and say silently beside Nika. Long Yi was able to vaguely sense Nika's feelings, however he wasn't certain about what he felt. Perhaps, even Nika wasn't clear about her own feelings.
The two of them sat there quietly as they stared into the distance. The ice-cold mountain breeze seemed to have bound them together before separating them. The process repeated itself again and again she the both of them sat there without moving.
After a long time, Nika jumped down from the huge rock. Slowly turning around, she fixed her gaze on Long Yi's face. Currently, Long Yi looked as though he had a dazzling halo above his head as the sun rays bathed his body in golden light.
When he saw that Nika was staring at him, Long Yi decided to jump off the rock as well. However, the moment his legs reached the ground, he felt a fragrant wind blowing against his face as Nika rushed into his embrace. Her charge was so strong that Long Yi fell backwards and rammed into the rock behind him.
"Long Yi, can you hug me?" Nika muttered as she grabbed Long Yi tightly.
Startled by her actions, Long Yi hugged her back nonetheless. Currently, they were at the opposite face of the huge rock. This meant that they were hidden from Wushuang and the others as the hug they shared wasn't noticed by anyone else.
After enjoying Long Yi's embrace for a few seconds, Nika lightly pushed Long Yi away as she whispered, "Thank you for hugging me." The moment she was done speaking, she turned and walked away. Long Yi was stunned as he stood there looking at Nika's back view. Looking at the tiny back which was getting further and further away from him, Long Yi felt as though Nika was going against her true feelings. It was as though she was trying to keep herself away from Long Yi. The moment she turned away, he felt as if the distance between them got further and further.
Before long, the group was on the move again. During their trip, Nalan Ruyue drew closer to Long Yi as she asked him I "My husband, what did you do to Nika? She seemed to be in a worse mood after you went over…"
Long Yi made a wry smile as he shrugged his shoulders. He said, "How would I know, I am not the worm in her stomach."
"Long Yi, I know you definitely did something to Nika. Just before you came back, the both of you hid behind the huge stone. Don't think that I didn't notice that!" Bertha stared at Long Yi as she added. She was looking at the both of them really closely since the moment Long Yi approached Nika. Apparently, Bertha was carefully watching the both of them the moment Long Yi approached Nika.
"What in the world are you saying? Am I that kind of person to take advantage of everyone? It seems like your ** is itching." Long Yi said with a wicked smile..
Instead of backing down, Bertha winked at Long Yi and whispered in a coquettish voice, "My ** is indeed itching… Come, smack me if you want."
The breathing of Long Yi stagnated for a moment. This little fox was getting more and more outrageous. Long Yi decided that he had to find a time to properly punish her. Since she had actually dared to tease him in public, she was asking for it. Could it be that she didn't know she was blatantly asking him to commit a crime? Humph, since she dared to play with Long Yi, he would definitely give her what she wanted.
"Bertha! What are you whispering to Long Yi about? You are not allowed to seduce my husband! Don't seduce my husband in front of me." Nalan Ruyue stepped forward as she pushed Bertha to one side
"Long Yi, you seemed to have married a good wife." Bertha said with a grievance.
As he looked at the women who were bickering before him, Long Yi broke into a smile. This was good enough for him, Long Yi loved the lively atmosphere around him at the moment. In any case, he knew that these two women weren't truly at odds with each other.
"Suang'er, follow me, I want to talk to you about something. Let us just ignore these two and let them quarrel with each other. " Long Yi smiled and pulled on Wushuang's hand. Long Yi pulled Wushuang as the both of them flew towards the sky.
"Long Yi, do you have something weighing down on your mind? Is it because of Nika?" Wushuang pursed her lips as she asked.
Nodding his head, Long Yi had an intrigued expression as he asked, "Do you think Nika really likes me?"
"Well, if my guess isn't wrong, it would seem that way. However, she seems to be very hesitant. It looks like she doesn't dare to take the final step" Wushuang replied after thinking about it for a few seconds.
"Why would she be hesitant? Just a moment ago..." Long Yi explained what had happened just a moment ago.
Wushuang pondered for a moment before saying, "She definitely likes you. However, she seemed to have an emotional entanglement in her heart. After listening to your explanation, I think that Nika might have made up her mind to stay far away from you."
Long Yi made a wry smile and decided to not think about it anymore. He decided to let nature run its course. Although he could be regarded the veteran who had rolled about in a cluster of flowers for many years, he still found it difficult to understand the thought process of girls.
Before long, the scenery before their eyes changed. The territory of the Barbarian Bull Clan appeared before their eyes as they realized that they reached their destination.
Chapter 414: Surname Niu, given name Bi
Edits by BLIPBLOC
"Boss, we are here! The Barbarian Bull tribe is just in front of us." Barbarian Bull yelled at Long Yi who was floating in mid air with Wushuang. Before anyone could reply him, Barbarian Bull dashed towards his clan with all his strength. Currently, Barbarian Bull's speed was much faster than the time he ran from danger. It seemed as though all of his hidden potentials was dug out of him. This was the magical power of love.
Long Yi smiled as he followed behind Barbarian Bull with the rest of the squad. In his heart, he was truly happy for Barbarian Bull.
"Yinwa, I am back!" Using his large windpipe, Barbarian Bull blasted the news of his return. The shaking and fluttering leaves on the trees appeared as if they were welcoming him back.
The excited roar from Barbarian Bull had the effect of a thunderclap. The entire area went silent for a moment before people started pouring out of their tribe. They were obviously rushing out to welcome Barbarian Bull back to their clan. Barbarian Bull was the strongest warrior in the Barbarian Bull Clan. As such, he was naturally adored by everyone.
"I am back! Iron Bull, you became sturdier! Xi Bull, with your **, who would be able to fight with you?" Barbarian Bull excitedly greeted as the praises from his mouth never stopped.
After greeting everyone, Barbarian Bull looked all around as he muttered with suspicion, "Did Yinwa go out? Why isn't she here to welcome me?"
"Big brother Barbarian Bull, congratulation!" The Barbarian Bull clansman who went by the name of Iron Bull congratulated Barbarian Bull with a smile on his face. The rest of the clansmen joined in before long and everyone was congratulating Barbarian Bull.
"Why are you congratulating me?" Barbarian Bull was puzzled.
"Barbarian Bull, you're going to be a dad in the near future! Our Barbarian Bull Clan will have one more warrior." An older member of the Barbarian Bull Clan patted Barbarian Bull's shoulders as he explained with a smile.
Barbarian Bull was dumbfounded and didn't come to his senses for a long time. It was as though he was struck by a bolt of lightning when he heard the news. In the Barbarian Bull Clan, producing a child was an important matter. This was to ensure the continuation of the family's bloodline.
"You stupid bull, why are you in a daze? Why are you still standing here like a retard? Go home and take a look!" Long Yi kicked Barbarian Bull's ** as he scolded in jest. In his heart, he however was extremely happy. He was actually going to have a nephew soon.
"Return… Return home. Yes, I'm going home now!" As if awakening from a dream, Barbarian Bull excitedly somersaulted several times. Running wildly towards his house, he roared, "Hahaha Barbarian Bull is going to be a father now! Son, your father is coming."
Long Yi laughed as his glance turned sideways. He saw that the several women beside him were also smiling. Clearly, they were affected by Barbarian Bull's happiness.
"My husband, when will we have one?" Nalan Ruyue approached Long Yi with a red face as she whispered into his ear.
Long Yi was startled and asked, "Do you wish to have children?"
Nalan Ruyue hastily nodded her head. As a matter of fact, she didn't understand what was going on. Actually, she had made love with Long Yi a number of times, and that number wasn't small… However, nothing ever happened as her stomach didn't seem to show signs of getting pregnant. This made Nalan Ruyue secretly blame herself as she felt like she was the one who failed to live up to Long Yi's expectations.
"Wait until the situation in the Blue Waves Continent stabilizes. After that, we'll have some babies, okay?" Long Yi said with a smile. It had already been several years since he had arrived here at the Blue Waves Continent. Moreover, he was surrounded by numerous beauties. However, none of them were pregnant with his children. It wasn't because Long Yi had a problem with his **, in fact, his ** was still going strong. The reason none of them were pregnant yet was because Long Yi had used a method in order to control his **. In his previous world, Long Yi was part of the Dragon Group. During their missions, they often had to sleep with women… In order not to impregnate the other party, the members of the Dragon Group had a secret method to control their **.
The reason why Long Yi didn't wish to have children now was because the Blue Waves Continent had fallen into chaos. It was very unwise to have children at the moment. If something were to go wrong, it would be too late to cry.
"How many is a few? I don't want to have only one or two children, I want to give birth to either eight or ten of them." Nalan Ruyue smiled as she said. When she thought of being a mother, Nalan Ruyue emitted a motherly radiance.
"Long Yi, I also want to give birth to your children." Bertha squeezed in from the side and bashfully looked at Long Yi.
"Smelly Bertha, you are not allowed to vie with me." Nalan Ruyue furiously glared at Bertha as she scolded.
"Humph, why should I fight with you! You've been with Long Yi for so long, but there seemed to be no activity between the both of you. It's my turn, you should just stand to one side." Bertha looked at Nalan Ruyue as a cheeky smile appeared on her face.
"You… my husband..." Nalan Ruyue looked at Long Yi aggrievedly.
"There is nothing wrong with you, I have used a secret technique to control myself. The moment everything concludes, we'll have a baby, okay?" Long Yi smiled and pinched Nalan Ruyue's cheeks.
Nalan Ruyue nodded her head shyly as she slowly turned towards Bertha. A complacent smile could be seen forming on her lips as she mocked Bertha.
With a playful smile hanging on his face, Long Yi shook his head as he looked at Nalan Ruyue and Bertha who looked extremely cute while they fought. After looking at the two of them for a short while, Long YI turned his head towards Wushuang and Nika.
Although Wushuang smiled when she looked at Long Yi, there was a trace of sadness hidden in her smile. This was because she was unable to completely give herself to Long Yi. As for having a baby, she would have to wait for quite a long time.
As for Nika, she blatantly ignored Long Yi's gaze as she followed behind everyone.
Long Yi sighed. As many thoughts ran through his mind, he eventually reached Barbarian Bull's residence. Yinwa voice could be heard from where Long Yi was standing, and her voice was filled with agony. Barbarian Bull could be seen in the distance as he paced back and forth in the courtyard of his own house. The doorway of Barbarian Bull's house was guarded by several of Yinwa's close sisters as they prevented Barbarian Bull from barging into his own house.
"Yinwa, I am back… You must hold on." Barbarian Bull shouted loudly. Currently, Barbarian Bull's face was covered in beads of sweat.
"Ah... Barbarian Bull.... You damned heartless fellow." Yinwa yelled in pain as she rained curses on him. Everyone was shocked as no one expected Yinwa to start cursing the moment she heard Barbarian Bull's voice.
Puchi, Bertha covered her mouth and laughed up her sleeves as she whispered, "Truly amusing. In our Fox Clan, I have heard people cursing their husband while giving birth. This behavior seems pretty common among pregnant women. Ruyue, later when you are giving birth, will you also behave like this?"
Long Yi smiled. According to his understanding of Nalan Ruyue, she wouldn't curse Long Yi when she gave birth. However, when Lin Na gave birth, she might really curse Long Yi till her mouth went dry. Long Yi shook his head. Wait a minute, Lin Na didn't suit him that well. Not to mention the fact that she was not even his woman. Even if she wanted to curse, she would curse at her own husband.
"Only you'll curse like this. When I give birth to Long Yi's baby, I wouldn't have time to cry out in joy. Where would I find time to curse at him?" Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes as she said bashfully.
—————-
Long Yi stepped forward and patted the restless and worried Barbarian Bull on his shoulder as he said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
"This old bull knows… However, why is that child taking so long to come out?" Barbarian Bull rubbed his hands and said.
"Barbarian Bull, we had only returned to the Barbarian Bull clan five minutes ago. Think about how long you spend in the latrine. Yinwa is giving birth to a child here, how would it be so quick?" Long Yi smiled as he explained.
Barbarian Bull calmed down a little, but the girls at the side simultaneously laughed as they cursed Long Yi in their heart.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the courtyard. It belonged to the patriarch of the Barbarian Bull clan as Barbarian Bull's father came rushing towards his home.
"Father." Barbarian Bull hastily went over as he greeted his father.
"Dumb kid, you are finally willing to return to the clan. You made my poor daughter suffer so much! Luckily you managed to come back before the baby was born." The patriarch of Barbarian Bull Clan glared at Barbarian Bull. He looked like a stern father-in-law as he scolded Barbarian Bull.
"Patriarch, we meet again. Looks like patriarch is still full of energy." Long Yi stepped forward as he extended his greetings to the Barbarian Bull Clan's patriarch with a smile.
The patriarch smiled as he looked at Long Yi. He enthusiastically returned Long Yi's greeting as he knew Long Yi was equivalent to Barbarian Bull's elder brother. Moreover, this Long Yi had unfathomable strength. As such, the patriarch was extremely polite when he addressed Long Yi.
Since the army of the beast-men clans had carried out sneak attacks on the western border of the Nalan Empire, the relation between humanity and beast-men had deteriorated to the extreme. If it wasn't for Barbarian Bull leading the way Long Yi leaving a lasting impression on everyone the last time he came here, Long Yi might not have arrived with so little trouble.
"Eh, aren't you the little princess of the Fox Clan? I remember that you stabbed Barbarian Bull with a sword at the martial arts convention in the past. How are you friends with Barbarian Bull now?" The moment the patriarch's gaze landed on Bertha, many questions formed in his mind. This little fox lady who had learned the long-lost Vanishing Magic of the Fox Clan had left a deep impression in his mind.
Bertha smiled apologetically and stealthily shot a glance at Long Yi. The patriarch of the Barbarian Bull Clan was a shrewd figure. He was naturally able to gain an understanding of the situation with a single look from Bertha. He instantly knew that Bertha had something to do with Long Yi who was standing in front of him.
At that moment, Yinwa suddenly screamed loudly. Her loud scream was followed by the loud and clear cries of an infant.
"The baby is born! Boss, I'm now a father! I'm a father now boss!" Barbarian Bull was so excited that he nearly lost his consciousness. He was shaking as he grabbed Long Yi shoulders as he cried. With a sudden leap, he caught Long Yi by surprise as he gave Long Yi a bear hug. If Long Yi didn't take into the account the fact that Barbarian Bull had just become a father, he would have sent Barbarian Bull flying into the horizon the moment he pounced.
In the next moment, the sound of a room door opening could be heard. Barbarian Bull charged into the room followed closely by the patriarch who had just become a grandfather. For the beast-men clans, they didn't care about the child's gender. Regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, they would never discriminate against them.
"It's a boy, congratulation!" The midwife of the Barbarian Bull Clan handed over a little barbarian bull over to Barbarian Bull.
Hugging his son in excitement, Barbarian Bull strode towards Yinwa who was currently sleeping on the bed. She was still weak and Barbarian Bull spoke to her in a soft voice, "Yinwa, I am back. Thank you for giving birth to my son."
Currently, Yinwa didn't curse at Barbarian Bull any longer. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, "It's good that you came back. Let me see our child."
At the moment, Long Yi and the rest entered the room as they stared at the newly born little barbarian bull with curiosity. Compared to the average human infant, he was a size bigger. His body was covered with a layer of thin hair, and the features on his face were not clear at all. The only thing which stood out was the pair of little bull horn on his head. It looked especially cute.
"Big Brother." Immediately upon seeing Long Yi enter, Yinwa sat up as she wanted to perform her courtesy greeting. Long Yi used his true qi in order to stop her from sitting up.
"Yinwa, no need to be too polite. You have gone through hardships for these past two years. It was all my fault that the both of you were separated for such a long period of time." Long Yi apologized to Yinwa.
"Big brother must not say so! Thanks to you big brother, I was able to get together with Barbarian Bull. Besides, being able to follow you is Barbarian Bull's good fortune." Yinwa said. Long Yi sighed with feelings as he saw that Barbarian Bull's wife was so understanding. Compared to some shrews, she was much stronger.
"That's right! Boss, please choose the name for our son." Barbarian Bull who was holding a little barbarian bull in his arms said. Generally, the name of a newborn was named by one's elder. In this case, Long Yi was considered to be Barbarian Bull's elder. As such, Barbarian Bull gave Long Yi the privilege of naming his son. At the time when Barbarian Bull got married to Yinwa, they had kowtowed to Long Yi.
Long Yi held onto little barbarian bull as he teased little barbarian bull with his hands. Suddenly, Long Yi's eyes shone and he proclaimed, "Your Barbarian Bull Clan doesn't have the surname, but from now on, 'Niu' will be the surname of this nephew of mine. His given name shall be 'Bi'." Niu Bi was Bull B. From this moment on, this little child would definitely be an extraordinary Bull B... [1] [1] Niu (牛): bull, ox, cow, cattle; Bi (毕): complete, conclude, finish; as for the Bull B, raw have 牛B, so I could only write Niu B or Bull B
Chapter 415: Beauty's knee and the taste of a plot
The scenery on top of the Hengduan Mountains was fascinating at night. With myriads of stars shining on those towering mountains whose top couldn't be seen from the bottom, it looked magnificent and extremely beautiful.
On the peak of a mountain near the Barbarian Bull Clan, Long Yi was lying on a huge rock which protruded from the edge of a cliff. He was biting on a strand of grass as he stared blankly at the starry sky. With his eyes hazy, he seemed to be deep in thoughts. Sitting there alone, he looked as though he was isolated from the world.
He seemed to have already forgotten everything… He forgot that he came from another world, and he also forgot everything which happened in the other world. Yes, money, power and beauties. Long Yi had everything he had ever wanted at the moment. The things he possessed could be said that it would invoke the jealousy of the gods, however, there were still times where Long Yi would like to be alone. He actually enjoyed solitude once in a while.
"The sky sure is pretty, however, it can't be touched..." Long Yi mumbled as he reached out his hand. Reaching out towards the night sky, it was as though Long Yi was trying to reach towards an unattainable dream.
From the ground beside him, Long Yi picked up a piece of leaf. Spitting out the blade of grass in his mouth, Long Yi blew at the leaf, producing a sad melody. A sad song slowly drifted out into the night.
In the end, Long Yi's body suddenly became stiff and the music ceased abruptly. A familiar, yet unfamiliar face suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Little Qi..." Long Yi lost his grip on the leaf as it was blown away by the mountain breeze. It was swirling and fluttering as it floated down the cliff.
Long Yi's handsome face was distorted with agony as the past events he had deliberately forgotten were replayed in his brain like a motion picture.
.....
"Little Qi, this is an extremely pleasant melody. Why haven't I heard it before?" Under the starry sky, a man with a scarred face looked at the woman who was sitting opposite him as he asked in a tender voice.
"That is because it was composed by me. I can teach it to you if you want." Little Qi smiled as she looked at the scarred-face man with a warm look on her face.
"Of course I would like to learn it. I have nothing much left to do anyway. What is the title of this melody?" That scarred faced man smiled and asked. With a long scar on his face, the scarred-face man looked even more terrifying when he smiled. The scar was due to a knife wound which extended from his eye to his chin, covering half his face.
"Well, let's call it starry sky. Currently, only the both of us knows how to play this song. From now on, whenever you play this melody, you must think of me!" Little Qi didn't mind that terrifying smile as she looked at him shyly.
...…..
Coming back to his senses, Long Yi felt as though his face was wet. He raised his hand to clean his face, but before he touched his face, sparkling crystal clear water droplets rolled into his palm.
"Tears?" Long Yi sighed. Long Yi thought that he had already forgotten everything about his past world a long time ago. However, he realized that he had only buried his memories at the bottom of his heart. Although those memories were covered with a thick layer of dust, he had never forgotten anything.
When Long Yi was still thinking about his past life, he heard light footsteps. The teardrops at the corner of his eyes instantly evaporated as a calm expression appeared onto his face.
Nika was the person who was wandering about in the middle of the night. The moment she saw Long Yi standing at the top of the cliff, she jumped like a startled rabbit. She hesitated for a moment as she didn't know if she should stay or run away. She was about to turn around and run down the moment when Long Yi called out to her.
"The starry sky is very beautiful tonight. How about looking at it together?" Long Yi smiled and asked.
Even though she didn't answer him, Nika eventually started walking towards Long Yi. Her body responded more honestly compared to her consciousness.
"The only reason I came up here was because I heard someone playing music. I'm here to find out who it is." Nika sat down and as she explained to Long Yi the reason she was wondering about in the middle of the night.
Nodding his head, Long Yi caught a whiff of Nika's natural fragrance. His state of mind calmed down greatly.
"Was… Was that you?" Nika asked hesitantly.
As he heard Nika's question, Long Yi nodded his head. Seeing Nika's surprised expression, Long Yi chided with a cheeky smile on his face, "What? You don't believe that I was the one who played the nice melody?"
"I believe you. However, it sounded really sad. Only people who have experienced extreme sadness would be able to play that melody. You don't seem to be the type of person who experienced extreme grief before." Nika said softly.
"You don't need to show that you are sad. Neither do you need to show that you are happy. Happiness and sadness exist in your heart..." Long Yi looked into the distance as he quietly explained to Nika.
Nika was shocked when she heard Long Yi's explanation. It had been a long time since Nika had known Long Yi, however, it seemed like she had never truly understood him.
"Can you play it again?" Nika asked as she looked at Long Yi with a hopeful gaze.
Shaking his head, Long Yi laughed as he said, "Nope! It's enough to be sad once, why would you want to feel sad another time? I can play a happy tune for you if you like."
Nika was a like a chicken pecking grains as she nodded her head up and down.
Picking up another piece of leaf on the floor, a melodious melody drifted into the night. Instead of a sad melody, a happy song played out. It was a song which could make others feel happy as well. Nika's spirits lifted the moment she immersed herself into the song.
Nika held her chin in her palm and a smile appeared on her face. The song made her remember the happy times in the Elven Forest. She recalled her childhood where she and Princess Lu Xiya would often wander around Elven Forest picking up wild fruits as they chased after butterflies. She also recalled the time when she sneaked into the elven royal family's wine warehouse with Princess Lu Xiya. They stole and drunk the Hundred Flowers Wine till they were both dead drunk. In the end, both of them were found by the elders dead drunk in the wine warehouse. The only thing Nika remembered was the expression on the elders' face when they said that they hated iron for not becoming steel. When she thought about the things she did in the past, everything appeared funny.
Even though the song ended, Nika was still immersed in her happy memories. Her smile grew bigger and bigger and she eventually chuckled.
Her chuckle broke her train of thoughts as she came back to her senses. When she saw Long Yi staring at her with an amused expression, Nika felt her rage bubble up inside her. With a face red with both rage and embarrassment, she snapped at Long Yi, "What are you looking at! Haven't you seen people laugh before?"
"Of course I have seen people laugh before. However, none of them were as beautiful as you when you laughed." Long Yi said with a smile.
Rolling her eyes, Nika knew that Long Yi was only using sweet words and honeyed phrases to make her happy. However, she couldn't help herself as she was delighted when Long Yi praised her.
"Let's hear it, what did you think about just now?" Long Yi teased as he questioned Nika.
"Why do I have to tell you?" Nika snorted and turned her head away.
"As the saying goes, don't forget the person who dug the well after drinking water. It was me who made you happy, as such, sharing your memories with me isn't too bad." Long Yi smiled as he subtly moved closer to Nika.
"You… don't sit so close to me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Nika suddenly felt Long Yi's hand scrape past hers as her maiden heart started to beat wildly. She had no choice but to surrender as she volunteered to tell Long Yi everything she thought of.
Under the starry sky and gentle breeze, Nika began to tell amusing incidents of her childhood to Long Yi. Long Yi listened intently as his head leaned onto Nika's shoulder all of a sudden.
Nika who was in the middle of telling her story shouted angrily when she felt Long Yi's head on her shoulders. Instead of getting a reply from Long Yi, all she heard was Long Yi's soft even breaths.
"Is he asleep?" Nika didn't know if she should laugh or cry. Her stiff body slowly relaxed as she realized that Long Yi didn't lean onto her on purpose. In her head, she thought of kicking Long Yi down the cliff while he slept. However, even though she tried to kick Long Yi off the cliff several times, she was unable to follow through with her thoughts. On the contrary, she felt a strange burst of warmth as she looked at Long Yi's sleeping face.
Silently, Long Yi opened his eyes a little to stare at Nika's cute and pretty face. It seemed as though his little scheme had succeeded. When he smelled her delicate fragrance, Long Yi felt extremely comfortable and he never wanted to get up.
"Ai, only this time, only this time..." Nika sighed softly and she tilted her body towards Long Yi in order to make him more comfortable.
Gradually, Long Yi's head slid downwards, towards Nika's legs. As his head slid past Nika's soft mounds, he eventually reached her soft thighs.
"The profit of this time is big." Long Yi who was pretending to asleep had wicked thoughts running through his mind.
When Nika saw that Long Yi was sleeping on her thighs, a tender look flashed through her eyes. She couldn't help but to reach out her hand in order to lift the hair covering his face. Just as her fingertips touched the surface of Long Yi's skin, she felt as though she was electrocuted. In an instant, she retracted her hands in fright as she had never felt something like this before.
Long Yi who had planned an elaborate scheme unexpectedly fell asleep in the beauty's lap. All his plans were laid to waste as he couldn't resist the urge to fall asleep.
When the eastern sky had a trace of grey, Nika sighed softly. Time flew as the warmth of yesterday was firmly engraved in her heart. However, Nika was still Nika no matter what warmth she experienced. She was the guard captain of the Elven Forest and she was also the guard who would watch over Princess Lu Xiya from the shadows. Apart from being a guard, she was nothing else.
With a gentle lift, Nika removed Long Yi's head from her thighs. As she grabbed the elven bow at her side, she left. Just after taking two steps, Nika turned back in order to look at Long Yi for one last time. When she saw that Long Yi was still sleeping soundly, she rushed down the mountain like a gust of wind.
The moment Nika disappeared, Long Yi woke up as he climbed up the rock with a stiff neck. He stared into the distance with a pensive expression on his face as thoughts ran through his mind.
"This is such good weather. I wonder when the ice and snow in the Proud Moon Empire would melt." Long Yi muttered while stretching his body.
When Long Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain, he managed to sense a wisp of aura which seemed to be intentionally let out.
"Come out." Long Yi said with indifference.
A shadow quickly rushed over. He was covered with a layer of black cloth, which covered even his eyes. Long Yi couldn't help but think about how this fellow looked at stuff.
"Skynet number 8094 pays respect to Young Master. Captain Yin Jian has sent an urgent secret letter. Please take a look at it." The shadow handed over a sealed letter disappeared after giving Long Yi a formal salute.
Dispersing the magic seal on the letter, Long Yi straightened out the letter as he read its contents. A frown formed on his face as he read the letter.
"The secret emissary of the Proud Moon Empire secretly met and discussed something with the chief of the Bimeng Clan." Long Yi mulled over a single sentence in the letter. He smelled a conspiracy brewing.
This was a secret letter personally sent by Yin Jian, and he had stated that although there wasn't concrete evidence, there was definitely something going on. The situation seemed to be pretty serious and Yin Jian had said that he would send out more information as soon as possible.
Conspiracy? What conspiracy? Long Yi pondered as he dashed into the forest. He had made the decision to rush towards the Elven Forest with the rest of the girls the moment he got back. As for Barbarian Bull who had just become a father, Long Yi decided to let him accompany his wife and child.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the Elven Forest. It was merely a short trip as the group arrived at the Elven Forest on the night of the next day.
"Nika, without you, I don't think I'll be able to safely enter the Elven Forest." Long Yi recalled the first time he arrived at the Elven Forest. It wasn't a pleasant welcome for sure.
Compared to Long Yi, Nika was extremely excited to return to the Elven Forest. After a long time away from home, of course, she would be happy to be back. Naturally, she turned a deaf ear to Long Yi's complains as she completely ignored him.
"What's wrong? You're not nervous to be back are you?" Long Yi sensed that there was something different about Nika today and he couldn't help but laugh.
Taking a deep breath, Nika raised her head as she looked at Long Yi. Nika appeared as though she wanted to say something to Long Yi. However, instead of opening her mouth, she turned away as she ran into the Elven Forest.
Although he felt as though there was something wrong with Nika, Long Yi didn't think too much about it. Along with Wushuang and the others, Long Yi advanced into the Elven Forest.
"Ya! It's Captain Nika. Our captain is back!" Cheers could be heard inside the Elven Forest as they saw that Nika returned.
"Hey, I'm back too. Why is there no one here to welcome me?" Long Yi smiled and joked as he walked into the Elven Forest.
"Ah... Mister Long, you came back! However, why did you come back with our captain?" A cute girl who remembered who Long Yi was asked with a curious expression on her face.
"We met by chance, nothing more... All of you, return to whatever you were doing. I'll take them to meet the Queen and the Princess." Before Long Yi could answer the elf girl, Nika spoke up before him. Leading the way, Nika led the group deeper into the forest.
Under the hazy moonlight, the Eleven Forest was absolutely an illusionary fairyland. It was very quiet and it was auspicious with spiritual qi. For someone like Nalan Ruyue and Bertha, it was their first time in the Elven Forest. As such, they were extremely impressed and said that this journey was extremely worthwhile. As for Wushuang who had been here before, she was praising this place inwardly. Even though she had been here before, she was extremely weak at that time. She didn't have the time nor energy to properly appreciate the Elven Forest.
Currently, it was already late into the night. Most of the elves living in the Elven Forest had already fallen asleep. Rows upon rows of log cabins were dark and their residents were currently in deep sleep.
Even though most of the elves' residence were dark, Long Yi was able to see that the Queen's palace far into the distance. The Palace was brightly lit, and a graceful and beautiful figure was standing on the steps. Behind this figure, there were rows of elven guards. It was obvious who the person standing on the steps was.
"It's the Elven Queen." In an instant, Long Yi was able to determine the status of the person standing on the steps. That figure was something Lu Xiya could never compare to. That little unripe elven girl, she wasn't even close to the sexy figure the Elven Queen possessed. Long Yi felt as though something was burning in his chest when he thought about the ambiguous relationship he had with the Elven Queen. The moral dilemma made Long Yi feel even more stimulated as it seemed as though he was doing something wrong.
Walking towards the entrance, Long Yi stared at the Elf Queen who was looking with him with a complicated expression. It was as though she was looking at him with a smile on her face, but that smile didn't seem like a smile. Long Yi took a step forward as he said with an innocent smile on his face, "Your Majesty the Queen, long time no see. I've truly missed you. Eh, how come my little darling Lu Xiya is missing?"
"Smelly kid, I haven't seen you for two years, but your loose tongue hasn't changed. Do you need me to use these vines to sew your mouth shut? You don't know when to stop do you?" To the rest of them, they felt as though the Elf Queen was doting on her son-in-law. However, she still had the graceful of a queen when she chided him, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
Long Yi covered his mouth. He knew that some jokes should be stopped before he went too far. Especially since there were many other people at the scene. He shouldn't say too much....
"Lu Xiya had reached a bottleneck in her cultivation. She is currently in seclusion... It might take some time before she is able to leave seclusion. Seems like you chose a bad time to return this time." With a slight smile on her face, the Elf Queen broke the bad news to Long Yi. When Long Yi heard that Lu Xiya wouldn't be able to meet him soon, he felt heartbroken. After traveling for such a long time, he was unable to see his darling Lu Xiya… This is truly depressing.
As Long Yi was lost in his thoughts, Wushuang, Nalan Ruyue, and Bertha greeted the Elf Queen in succession.
With a smile, the Elf Queen returned their greetings. As she looked at Wushuang, she said, "Wushuang girl, did you come back from the Origin Ice? That should mean that your curse is completely removed now right?"
"Yes. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Queen." Wushaung smiled as she thanked the Elf Queen.
......…..
At this moment, Long Yi was alone with the Elf Queen inside a room. The atmosphere between them was quite awkward as they stared at each other. Not long after the Elf Queen came out to welcome Long Yi and his group, Nika lead Wushuang and others out of the Palace. She brought them to a courtyard in order to allow them to rest from their tiring journey. Only Long Yi was left in the Palace with the Elf Queen.
"Your Majesty the Queen, what exactly is the matter?" Long Yi looked at the Elf Queen who was elegantly sipping tea. Those bright red lips made him feel thirsty and uneasy at the same time. It didn't matter if Long Yi was standing or sitting, he felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the Elf Queen. After ten minutes, he was no longer able to bear the awkward atmosphere and decided to speak out.
Elf Queen smirked as she teased, "So, a sly fellow like you can also feel fidgety. Weren't you extremely complacent when you stepped into my Palace? What happened to your composure?"
"This is because of Your Majesty's charm. All the blame can be placed on you as you are simply too charming. If it was any other person sitting in your place, I would be calm and composed even if I were to sit still for several days and nights." Long Yi made a wry smile as he explained. Long Yi had no idea why, but he was extremely attracted to the Elf Queen. A single glance from her sent ripples through his heart and he involuntarily recalled the night where everything nearly got out of control.
"Don't think about those dirty things. I asked you to stay behind as I wanted to know what happened to you in the past two years. Focus on the relevant points!" Elf Queen scolded as she glared at Long Yi. Even though she was trying to keep an angry face while looking at Long Yi, an unusual feeling gushed out from the bottom of her heart.
Muttering to himself, he wondered what in the world the Elf Queen was thinking. For two people of opposite genders to spend time alone in a room in the middle of the night, it was simply asking for something bad to happen. Wasn't the Elf Queen simply asking him to commit a crime? Moreover, he didn't know whether the Elf Queen was doing this intentionally or not.
"Why are you mumbling to yourself? Why are you still not talking?" Elf Queen roughly guessed the thoughts of Long Yi. As a matter of fact, she had no idea why she asked Long Yi to stay behind in her Palace so late at night. Firstly, she had no need to make Long Yi stay behind just to tell her about the adventures he had in the past 2 years. Secondly, she didn't need to be alone with Long Yi in order for them to talk about his adventures.
Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and began to recount his adventures from the time when he returned to Soaring Dragon City. For example, the Extreme Yin Day. Xiao Yi's prophecy, the dark forces behind Long Zhan, the secrets behind Ha Lei, and the incident in the Lightning God Forbidden Area. Last but not least, he talking about the matters between himself and the Winged Clan. As for the situation on the entire Blue Waves Continent, Long Yi didn't mention anything about them. He knew that the Elf Queen already had intelligence on the situation and there was no need to talk about them in front of her.
Elf Queen listened attentively. 99.9% of the population wouldn't be able to experience a single thing on Long Yi's list in their entire lifetime. However, Long Yi was able to experience and survive so many miraculous encounters within the past 2 years. She truly didn't know what kind of freak he was.
"You obtained the inheritance of the Lightning God, didn't you? Does that mean that you are the next Lightning God? It seems like I have to salute you when I see you in the future." With a friendly smile on her face, the Elf Queen quickly praised Long Yi. In her heart, she was shocked even though she knew that this Long Yi would grow to become a powerful figure in the future. However, she had never expected him to be the next Lightning God. She had really underestimated him when she evaluated him in the past.

"Your Majesty the Queen, aren't you bullying me? Even if I were to become the Creation God, wouldn't I still be your son-in-law? If you ask me to go east, I will not dare to go towards the west. How would I dare to make you salute me?" Long Yi said with a bitter smile.
The Elf Queen let out a crystal clear laughter. Her laugh was clear and melodious just like a jade bell as her cheerful expression made Long Yi stare at her without blinking his eyes.
"What are you looking at now? Do you want to take a swim in the lake before you know how to behave yourself?" The Elf Queen rolled her eyes and said in displeasure. Even though she seemed to be angry with Long Yi, she was a little embarrassed in her heart.
With a hollow laugh, Long Yi touched his nose as he came back to his senses. Looks like the destructive power which the Elf Queen possessed was too big. Spending time alone with her made him feel excited and agony at the same time. Undoubtedly, Long Yi had some kind of evil thoughts towards the Elf Queen. However, no matter what he thought, he was only able to keep those thoughts in his head. If he really did something to the Elf Queen, then he feared that something bad would happen to him.
"There are so many peerless beauties around you yet you have an insatiable lust. It's truly easy to change rivers and mountains but it is hard to change a person's nature." Elf Queen sipped at the cup of tea in her hand in order to hide her emotions.
"When am I so lusty? Of course, it's because of you. Your Majesty the Queen, look into my eyes and you will realize that I am already in such a high-leveled realm that a low lecher could never compare to me." Long Yi said with a serious face as the look in his black pupils became deep. Leaning forward, he walked towards the Elf Queen.
Looking into Long Yi's eyes, the Elf Queen seemed to be looking into a black hole. It seemed to be able to suck her soul towards Long Yi's eyes and the Elf Queen quickly hurriedly turned her gaze away. Even though she managed to avoid Long Yi's gaze, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Gritting her teeth, she placed her teacup down on the table with a bang. Soon after that, Long Yi's offensive gaze disappeared.
"Grin cheekily and not take this seriously, and I will truly get angry." Elf Queen said with a calm face.
"I don't dare to do it again. Your Majesty the Queen, if you have something to tell me, please do so." Long Yi pulled a long face and as he sulked.
Seeing the wronged appearance of Long Yi, the Elf Queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she said, "It was my mistake, don't take offense. I remembered that you spoke about Xiao Yi's prophecy just now. I wonder what could that be?"
As his expression changed, Long Yi wore a serious expression on his face as he explained, "When Xiao Yi casted the Cosmic Celestial Magic Spell, someone interrupted her. As a result, I can only remember bits and pieces of the prophecy. Only when I entered the Lightning God Forbidden Area, I remembered the prophecy he spoke of. There were only four phrases, Blue Waves in chaos, Lightning God descends. Bloodshed due to a just cause illuminates the world. A single slash with a sword opens the vault of the heavens."
"Blue Waves in chaos, Lightning God descends, Bloodshed due to a just cause illuminates the world. A single slash with a sword opens the vault of the heavens." The Elf Queen muttered and pondered without speaking.
Instead of looking at the beautiful Elf Queen, Long Yi looked downwards towards the floor. He was afraid that he would be captivated by the Elf Queen again, which would lead him to do things which provoked the Elf Queen. It wouldn't be funny if he really made her angry.
"The first two phrases are easy to decipher. As for the third phrase, I wonder if it has any relations to the legend of the coming of doomsday. It would be a day where many gods would have their blood spilled in order to save the common people. As for the final phrase, I don't have any clue about what it means at the moment." The Elf Queen slowly said after pondering for a while.
"What legend? Why haven't I heard of it before?" When Long Yi heard the Elf Queen's explanation, he immediately asked. He had his interest piqued when he heard about the legend.
"This is a legend recorded in the ancient book of our Elf Clan. It's very normal for you not to know about it." The Elf Queen said.
Nodding his head, Long Yi continued the conversation with the Elf Queen. The interpretation of this prophecy didn't make any more progress but the sun was starting to rise in the horizon.
"It's late, you should go to sleep." The Elf Queen stood up from her seat as she said to Long Yi.
Seeing that the mature body of the Elf Queen was emitting a deadly mature aura, Long Yi involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He stood up as well as he stared at the Elf Queen with a startled face. Sparks flew between them as their gazes locked.
"Give me a good night kiss." Long Yi said impulsively, and he regretted the moment the words came out of his mouth. Last time, when he went out of control, he went for a kiss which resulted in the Elf Queen avoiding him. She didn't scold him in the past, and she gave him a peck on the cheek instead. It was like a dragonfly skimming over the surface of the water. Even though she kissed him, she gave him a warning right after. This time, she might truly be angry.

Looking at the continuously changing expression on the Elf Queen's beautiful face, Long Yi started to feel uneasy. He was afraid that the Elf Queen would chase him out of the Elven Forest in a fit of anger. That wouldn't be funny at all.
"Long Yi, come over here." After a good while, the Elf Queen sighed as she motioned for Long Yi to approach her. Her face reverted to her usual indifferent and graceful expression as she stared at Long Yi. He was unable to tell anything from her expression which greatly scared him.
Touching his nose like a child who was caught making a mistake, Long Yi slowly walked towards the Elf Queen. He was ill at ease as he didn't know if the Elf Queen wanted to teach him a lesson or not.
When the Elf Queen saw the uneasy expression on Long Yi's face, she couldn't help but smile. Tipping her toes, she gave Long Yi a quick kiss on his cheeks.
"This is just a goodnight kiss, you must not let your imaginations run wild. If you think about weird things after this kiss, you don't have to ever return to the Elven Forest." Staring into Long Yi's eyes, the Elf Queen said with a stern expression on her face.
Long Yi stood there like a wooden doll. He wasn't able to hear a thing the Elf Queen said as the only thing he could think about now was the red lips on the Elf Queen's face. Those lips had a devilish charm which could force him down the wrong path. Long Yi could feel a tingling sensation on his cheek which was spreading through his whole body.
"Long Yi, in the end, did you hear... eh..." When she saw that Long Yi was standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but scold him in an annoyed tone. However, before she could finish speaking, everything before her eyes became dark. She felt a pair of warm lips pressing against hers and a dense masculine aura surrounded her. A dizzy spell struck her as her maiden heart violently jumped. At that moment, the Elf Queen's mind blanked out as her entire body tensed up.
Compared to the Elf Queen, Long Yi had the complete opposite feeling. He felt as though he was floating amidst clouds and mist and a pleasant feeling swept through him. He had no time to analyze the consequence of his actions. When he saw that infinitely tempting pair of red lips, he pounced on the Elf Queen. He greedily ** her fair and tender lips as the tip of his tongue pried open the rows of her pearly white teeth as it entered her mouth. Inside the Elf Queen's mouth, Long Yi's tongue fought an intense battle with the Elf Queen's cute little tongue.
The charming body of the Elf Queen trembled. Both her lips and tongue experienced an extremely pleasant sensation and she could only passively accept Long Yi's unruly invasion in her mouth. Although she felt as though it was wrong for Long Yi to do such things, she responded to Long Yi's advances as she eventually returned his kiss.
After an unknown period of time, the Elf Queen gradually came back to her senses. No one knew how much time had passed. It could be one minute, and it could also be tens of minutes. No one was there to keep track of the time.
Heavens, how dare he? Long Yi actually kissed the Elf Queen so blatantly. This was the mother of his wife, Lu Xiya, he was talking about.
"Ah..." Long Yi screamed in pain as he retreated two steps. Covering his mouth with his hand, he stared blankly at the Elf Queen.
The complexion of the Elf Queen was flushed red and her towering chest was rising and falling rapidly. Currently, her calm and crystal clear eyes were burning with anger. There was a trace of loss of her face as she looked at Long Yi who was standing in front of her.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I..." Long Yi wished to explain himself, but it seemed to be useless. As he had already done things which he wasn't supposed to do, no matter how he explained, his explanation would seem to be full of loopholes. He had no idea why but he wasn't able to control himself in front of the Elf Queen. He unexpectedly lost his reason and forcefully kissed her.
"Nothing happened today, do you understand?" Elf Queen retracted her complicated look and her expression became ice-cold.
Long Yi quivered as he knew that what he had done was not redeemable. He could only hang his head in shame and reply her with a weak voice. He could taste blood in his mouth as it was truly a bloody kiss between himself and the Elf Queen.
Without another word, the Elf Queen disappeared into the hall with an icy-cold expression on her face.
"I'm in deep trouble this time. What in the world happened to me?" Long Yi weakly sat on the chair behind him. When he removed his hand which was covering his mouth, a bloodstain was revealed. Involuntarily, he recalled that warm kiss which made his soul fly to the highest heaven. All along, he had a wicked heart but didn't have the courage to act on his thoughts. Long Yi had no idea why, but he made the impulsive decision to kiss the Elf Queen while she was right in front of his face.
"Ai, in any case, I can't undo the kiss. I'll just stop worrying about it." Long Yi stood up as he muttered under his breath. The situation wasn't as bad as he imagined. The Elf Queen had told him to treat it as though nothing happened between them tonight. This shows that there was still room for redemption. Picking up his own teacup on the table, he finished its contents in a single gulp. After finishing his drink, he walked towards the courtyard arranged for him and his group. It was where Wushuang and the others were.
"My husband, why did you stay behind?" When Long Yi arrived at his courtyard, Nalan Ruyue was there to welcome him. Without her knowledge, she had waited for him the entire night without falling asleep.
"Well, I was discussing about some important matters with the Elf Queen. You don't need to wait for me, fool." Long Yi tenderly touched Nalan Ruyue's beautiful face, and a hint of warmth welled up in his heart. Along with the feeling of warmth, there was a guilty feeling towards Nalan Ruyue. In his heart, he thought about people's ambition. Were people's ambitions truly insatiable? Of course, for Long Yi, his ambition wasn't to become the strongest being alive. It was to possess countless beauties beside him as he lived his life to the fullest. He had so many beauties around him, but he still wasn't satiated. He went as far as to touch the Elf Queen which was, strictly speaking, a taboo love affair. Wasn't he just finding trouble for himself now?
Although he knew that the Elf Queen was off limits, her shadow was always lingering on his mind. It was impossible for Long Yi to completely get rid of her shadow in his mind. Her allure seemed to have a kind of soul attraction to him, which couldn't be controlled by reason.
"But, without you by my side, I cannot fall asleep. I always feel like something is missing…" Nalan Ruyue shyly smiled as she said. Since she and Long Yi already had an intimate relationship with each other, she was no longer reserved she spoke to him.
"Then... How about we go to Wushuang's room? It's livelier when the three of us sleep together." Long Yi grabbed the little hand of Nalan Ruyue and gently squeezed it as he revealed his wicked thoughts.
How could Nalan Ruyue not understand Long Yi's intentions? Her breathing immediately became hurried and said in a mosquito-like voice, "But, big sister Wushuang is meditating."
"What about meditating? If we wait for a while, she'll wake up eventually. If she doesn't, you'll sleep alone tonight." Long Yi ambiguously teased Nalan Ruyue while his other hand stroke her round and bulging pert buttocks. Nalan Ruyue already knew about the matter where Long Yi had a telepathic connection with Wushuang. She knew that Wushuang would feel uncomfortable whenever Long Yi had wicked thoughts in his mind. Although Long Yi knew that it was not likely for him to finish things up with Wushuang, wouldn't it be great if he could help her to reduce the uncomfortable feeling she felt? Perhaps, she would also be able to help him out... Wouldn't this satisfy the both of them?
"How can I? Then... Then let's go to big sister Wushuang's room" Nalan Ruyue blushed as she whispered in a mosquito like voice. In any case, this wasn't her first time sleeping with both Long Yi and Wushuang.
Long Yi smirked and picked up Nalan Ruyue. With Nalan Ruyue in his arms, he rushed towards Wushuang's room.
Currently, Wushuang was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed exclusive to the Elf Clan. A brilliant radiance was circulating her entire body as she meditated. However, the moment Long Yi entered the room, a clear fluctuation of spirit power appeared around Wushuang.
Long Yi directly rushed over to the side of Wushuang while carrying Nalan Ruyue as he kissed Nalan Ruyue with endless passion. He was sure that Wushuang would wake up from her meditation soon due to their telepathic connection.
Sure enough, when the charming body of Nalan Ruyue was covered with a layer of pink luster, Wushuang opened her eyes and her breathing was somewhat unstable. She ferociously glared at Long Yi with a semi-enraged expression on her face. However, the only reply she got from him was a strong tug into his embrace. All of her clothing was peeled off her body before long and she was now naked in Long Yi's bosom. Now, those towering ** were proudly standing upright as if two inverted jade bowls. The two bright red pearls at the tip of her ** were standing upright as if they were begging for Long Yi to give them attention.
Long Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he pushed Wushuang down above Nalan Ruyue. Now, those two peerlessly beautiful ** completed the picture perfectly.
The naked bodies of Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue were stacked together facing each other. They were able to feel the softness and fragrance of the other party's charming body and a strange feeling swept through them. Although it was weird, they didn't hate the feeling...
Long Yi looked at Wushuang's snow white **, and his heartbeat instantly accelerated. He extended his devil's talon and grabbed it. Feeling that amazing silky and elastic feeling on his fingers, the evil fire in Long Yi burned even more vigorously. With a strange cry, he pounced on Wushuang.
In the courtyard, Bertha stood rooted to the ground as she listened to those sweet moans coming from Wushuang's room. Not just moans, there were the sounds of rough and heavy breathing as well, it was coupled with the sound of flesh hitting each other. Sighing with hidden bitterness, Bertha silently disappeared into the surroundings.
While Long Yi was having the time of his life in the courtyard, the Elf Queen was tossing about in her own bed. She was unable to fall asleep, and the primary offender of this was naturally Long Yi. He had no idea what was going on as he was currently lost in the land of warmth and tenderness.
Suddenly, the Elf Queen sat up on her bed and her long hair cascaded down her back as if it was a waterfall. She muttered under her breath, "Perhaps, it was my mistake all along."
The thoughts of the Elf Queen became complicated. For Long Yi, she undoubtedly had a strange feeling towards him which was more the feelings an elder should have for their junior. This would definitely lead to an ill-fated relationship if the feeling between them led to anything more. She had long decided to thoroughly cut off this improper feeling but she wasn't able to do so after seeing Long Yi again after two years. She was incomparably happy in her heart when she knew that Long Yi had returned. As a result, she found an excuse to spend some time alone with him.
Originally, she had always been hiding her feeling very well. However, who would have thought that she would suffer a loss at the hands of Long Yi in the end? In a fit of excitement, she surprisingly agreed to Long Yi's request of a goodnight kiss. She thought that it would just be a goodnight kiss like before, but to her surprise, Long Yi forcibly gave her another kiss after she gave him his goodnight kiss. The Elf Queen was ashamed and felt lost after leaving the room as she had no idea how to react.
Recalling the scene of both their tongues intertwining with each other, the Elf Queen felt hot and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
"No, this absolutely cannot continue. Otherwise, Lu Xiya will hate me forever." Elf Queen forced herself to think about her daughter, Lu Xiya. In an instant, the hot feeling welling up inside her disappeared. Motherly love was greater than everything. In order to not hurt Lu Xiya, and in order to not violate that final line of morality, the Elf Queen decided to completely sort out her feelings. She decided to no longer condone her relationship with Long Yi. This kind of ambiguous feeling was something that shouldn't see the light of this world.
The Elf Queen had a sleepless night. However, she wasn't the only one experiencing a sleepless night in the Elven Forest. For example, Long Yi, Wushuang, and Nalan Ruyue were also having a sleepless night having wild ** with each other. There was also Bertha, who couldn't sleep due to the hidden bitterness in her heart. Not to mention Nika who seemed to be perturbed by something.
.......
Currently, the sky above the Elven Forest was already bright. Small birdies were already beginning to sing and the children of the Elf Clan had already started playing with each other in the grasslands.
Pa pa, two loud and clear slapping sounds resounded in Wushuang's room. A red handprint appeared on both the plump and smooth snowy white buttocks in front of Long Yi.
"Little lazybones, it's time to get up." Long Yi smiled and said, as his eyes appreciated those peerlessly beautiful ** lying on the bed.
"Don't disturb me, go away. Let me sleep for a while longer." Nalan Ruyue lazily grumbled in a flirty manner. She had made love to Long Yi the entire night last night, and her entire body still felt weak. She was unwilling to leave the comfort of her bed and she knew that Long Yi wouldn't force her to wake up.
As for Wushuang, she rolled over and sat up. She couldn't help but blush when she looked at Long Yi's grinning face. Recalling the absurd matter of last night, she was extremely embarrassed.
Chapter 418: Dragon Claw and being cold-blooded
Last night was truly absurd. Although she was overwhelmed with sorrow as she wasn't able to take the final step with Long Yi, she was sandwiched between Nalan Ruyue and Long Yi throughout the night. Throwing away her helmet and coat of main, she retreated a thousand li in disorder. In her confusion, she wasn't able to differentiate between male and female which led to many embarrassing events between Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue. Throughout the night, Wushuang caressed and kissed Nalan Ruyue as she had mistaken Nalan Ruyue for Long Yi. Now that she thought about it, she found it unbelievable. How was it possible for her to do such indecent stuff with Nalan Ruyue? Of course, the cause of all her embarrassment was due to Long Yi. He was the one who instigated Ruyue to do all those nasty stuff… When she thought about what happened last night, Wushuang's face flushed red once again.
Jumping out of bed, Long Yi dressed himself up. When he looked at Wushuang who was awake and sitting on her bed, he saw that she had a ferocious and ashamed expression on her face. Long Yi decided to shut his mouth and not mention anything which happened last night. As the saying goes, lose at sunset but gain at sunrise. In the Elf Queen's Palace, Long Yi ran into all sorts of trouble, even going as far as to enrage the Elf Queen herself. However, he was able to enjoy his luck with his wives the moment he returned. Although it wasn't his first time taking on two girls at once, he felt extremely satisfied. Initially, Long Yi had his first ** with Beitang Yu and Xiao Yi. However, when they were serving him at the same time, Long Yi had never been able to fully enjoy himself. This time, Long Yi was truly satisfied. When Long Yi thought about it again, he imagined two cold beauties entangling themselves with each other. The visual impact was too deadly and blood threatened to burst out from his nose.
"The two of you should rest for a while longer. The both of you should be extremely tired after tossing and turning about the whole night. Ai, I wasn't the one who played with you two the whole night. You were the ones who played with each other for the whole night!" Long Yi said with a mischievous smile on his face as he winked at Wushuang.
"So hateful, get out!" When they heard what Long Yi said, the two women instantly flushed red. They grumbled in a flirty manner as they simultaneously threw their pillows at Long Yi. Although they seemed to be grumbling, they had a naughty smile hanging on their lips.
"I'll go! I'm leaving now... The both of you can continue to toss and turn about on the bed. I'll definitely not laugh at the both of you." Throwing back the pillows at the two girls, Long Yi laughed as he replied them. Right after he finished speaking, he slipped away before Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue could take their revenge.
When he exited the room, Long Yi saw that Bertha was sitting on a stone bench under a big tree in the courtyard in front of his room. She was supporting her tiny chin with her equally tiny hands as she stared into space.
"Hey! Little fox, why are you up so early in the morning? Are you in the mood to enjoy the battle of the ants on the ground?" Due to the spring wind blowing in his direction last night, Long Yi was exceptionally cheerful today.
"Early? An elf came to invite all of us to lunch just now. How is this early?" When she saw Long Yi, a weird feeling welled up in her chest and made her somewhat upset.
"It's not too late... Let's go now if we don't want to be late for lunch." Long Yi smiled as he started walking out of the courtyard.
"What about Ruyue and Wushuang? Are you just going to leave them here?" Bertha stood up and followed behind Long Yi.
"They… Well, I fed them just now. They should still be full from their last meal. They won't be joining us for lunch." Long Yi smiled and said with ** expression on his face.
Bertha was startled for a moment. When she finally understood what Long Yi meant, she rolled her eyes at him. With a wry smile on her face, she cursed at Long Yi, "Big pervert! Licentious and shameless fellow."

"You dare to say that I am licentious and shameless? Do you believe that I'll show you how licentious and shameless I can be?" Long Yi got closer to Bertha and threatened her.
"I don't believe you. If you dare, you can try me." Bertha completely ignored Long Yi's threat as she puffed up her chest and said in a charming manner.
Long Yi licked his lips. This little fox was getting more and more outrageous. She was clearly seducing him. Could it be that she didn't know it was very easy to seduce him? If she became even a little careless, Long Yi would swallow her whole, without leaving her bones.
"What? You don't dare to do it? Coward!" Bertha snorted and said with disdain as she made a funny face at Long Yi.
"You were the one who taunted me... You'll see in the future." A trace of an evil smile appeared on Long Yi's face. Originally, he planned to let this ignorant little fox off after lightly teasing her. However, she was the one who delivered herself to his doorsteps again and again. She was obviously playing with fire. Long Yi was certainly not going to let her off.
"The one who regrets is a little doggy." Bertha stopped as she turned around to look at Long Yi in the eye.
With his lips curling upwards, Long Yi raised his devil's talons. Grabbing at the empty space in front of him, Long Yi slowly moved his hands towards Bertha's chest.
Bertha instantly became shy. She was about to turn around and run away, but after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and stuck out her chest towards Long Yi. Rather than Long Yi reaching out towards her chest, now it looked as though she was delivering her towering ** towards Long Yi.
In mid air, Long Yi's hands stopped. With his devil's talons only four to five centimeters away from her towering **, Long Yi could feel the heat radiating from her chest.
Suddenly, two figures turned the corner and coincidentally ran into Long Yi and Bertha. It was the graceful and bewitching Elf Queen along with Nika who was walking behind the Elf Queen. When they saw what Long Yi and Bertha were doing, they were stunned as they stood rooted to the spot.
Obviously, Long Yi and Bertha hadn't expected the arrival of the Elf Queen and Nika. They were also stunned as they stood there with a blank expression on their face.
"Your Majesty the Queen, ah..." Bertha came back to her senses and involuntarily took a step forward. As a result, her towering mounds of flesh came into contact with Long Yi's claws. Without thinking, Long Yi grabbed at the two soft round globes in his hands.
"You guys... you guys are too much!" Nika couldn't help but scold them with a bright red face. She had never expected that Long Yi and this fox lady would actually do such things in front of the Elf Queen.
Awkwardly retracting his hands, Long Yi laughed with embarrassment as he said, "This... Bertha and I were just playing. Don't mind us."
Bertha nodded her head, expressing serious agreement.
"It's not that you can't play. However, you should pay attention to your surroundings. It won't be good if other people saw the two of you doing such things." Elf Queen lightly rebuked Long Yi. Her tone didn't seem any different from before, but Long Yi was able to sense the difference. Previously, she used to be like a big sister and she treated him like a good friend. However, the voice she was using now had the tone of a master talking to their guest.
"The lunch is already prepared. Nika and I won't be able to accompany you as we have things to do." Giving Long Yi a faint smile, she brushed past him.
When the Elf Queen left, Bertha stuck out her tongue at Long Yi. However, she didn't realize that her face was still red hot when she looked at Long Yi. Although Long Yi was the one who gained something out of this, Bertha felt an unusual burst of happiness from the bottom of her heart. At least it was her beloved who took advantage of her, not some random guy.
"Let's go and have lunch! I am starving. Long Yi... what's wrong?" Bertha smiled as she turned around to once again. She managed to see that Long Yi had a blank expression as he was lost in thought.
"Nothing, let's go." Long Yi came back to his senses and smiled. From the Elf Queen's words, he could discern a bit of bitterness. It seemed like the Elf Queen had made up her mind to break off that ambiguous relationship with him.
Noticing that Long Yi felt a little sad, Bertha didn't ask any more questions. She started to joke around as she laughed at many little things. She was hoping that her cheerful attitude could make Long Yi's mood slightly better.
..............
On the altar of the Dark Church, there was a huge black temple situated at the center of it. Inside that temple, a blue-eyed middle-aged man wearing a black priest robe stood under the huge statue of the Dark God. He held an oval shaped black colored jade tablet in his hand as he repeatedly studied it. Although he would frequently chant an obscure incantation, the black jade tablet didn't seem to have any reaction.
"How can this be? I clearly followed the method to activate the dark magic power of the Dark Spirit Tablet! Why isn't it reacting at all?" The middle-aged man muttered as he had no idea what he was doing wrong. It had already been three months since he obtained this Dark Spirit Tablet. However, he didn't seem to have the slightest progress when it came to using the Dark Spirit Tablet at all.
When the man was deep in his thoughts, a dark mist appeared. Along with the dark mist, a graceful figure appeared in the hall. This woman appeared to be roughly 30 years in age and she had blue eyes. She was extremely beautiful and she was full of mature charm. Although she had an appearance similar to Feng Ling, she appeared to be a bit colder than Feng Ling.
"Husband, the Dark Spirit Tablet still didn't react?" With a soft voice, the woman asked the middle aged man. The trace of coldness instantly disappeared and was replaced by a loving and warm voice.
Shaking his head, the man kept the spirit tablet. With a downcast expression and a sad voice, he asked, "Lingr, how is that girl? Does she still hate me?"
"It's not like you don't know Lingr temperament. Why do you keep insisting to choose Lingr? Leng Youyou is also pretty good." The woman sighed softly.
"Sooner or later, the Dark Church will be handed over to her. To sit in the position of the leader of the Dark Church, she still has much to learn. Using and exploiting people are lessons she needs to learn in order not to be eaten when she grows up. This is the lesson I am giving her now." With an indifferent voice, the middle aged man explained.
"Do you want her to be ruthless enough to even exploit her family members?" The beautiful lady raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes. She would only be able to reach the pinnacle if she becomes completely merciless." The gaze of the man become ice-cold as he said in a razor sharp voice.
"Even you were unable to become completely merciless. Can Lingr do it? Although she is cold-blooded sometimes, you should know that she is in fact a kind and righteous child." With a light whisper, the beautiful lady shifted her gaze away from the middle aged man.
The middle aged man's pupils slightly shrunk and he showed a trace of agony. However, his expression returned to normal in an instant as if it never changed in the first place. Knowing that he would never be able to win his wife in a battle of words, the middle aged man left the hall with huge strides.
When she sensed that the middle aged man was walking away, the beautiful lady looked at his back view. She stared at the man who was her husband, who was also the Dark Pope. When he left the hall, her expression changed again as it reverted back to her icy-cold face. After that, a cold smile appeared on her face as she muttered, "My husband, since you were never able to become truly cold-blooded, I will help you accomplish it."
...…
It was the beginning of the fifth month of the 87** year in the Blue Waves Continent. The snowy weather which plagued the lands was finally showing signs of letting up. The temperature began to rise and the thick accumulated snow also began to melt slowly.
Although they knew that it would take longer than a day or two for all of the snow to melt, soldiers of the Nalan Empire and the Violent Dragon Empire were rejoicing. They had been freezing for so long and the heavens finally decided to be merciful. When they knew that the cold weather would be the least of their worries before long, they decided to resume the battle early and starting attacking the Proud Moon Empire again. The hot blooded soldiers would rather rush onto the battlefields than to stay quivering inside their quilts.
"You're mum! The snow is finally melting! This father can no longer suppress my **. All you bast*rds of the Proud Moon Empire, you all just wait for this grandfather Bear to come kill you all." Standing in front of the big military tent, Tyrant Bear roared loudly.
"General Bear, I think it would take at least one month for all this snow to melt. I think that General Bear should wait at least one more month before charging into the battlefield." A voice came from behind Tyrant Bear and it was precisely Nangong Nu's voice.
Tyrant Bear patted the shoulder of Nangong Nu which was already broad and said with a frown, "Yeah, this Tyrant Bear will wait until the snow is completely melted."
It had been snowing for a long time, the snow accumulated should measure a few feet deep at least, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait till there was no more snow to wage war again.
"That's not necessary. The temperature has been abnormal recently and there may be another season of unusual weather. The snow might melt very soon and you won't have to wait for so long." Beitang Yu came out of her tent and said as she looked at the huge ball of fire in the sky.
