Yaoguang Holy Son

Li Qingyue kept her head lowered.

She followed behind Yan Wushuang and Yang Wuzheng, her face full of shame and anger.

Her small hands clenched beneath her sleeves, and her eyes were icy, giving her the air of someone itching to kill.

The innkeeper's strange look surfaced in her mind.

One woman and two men sharing a room.

The entire room looked as though they had fought hundreds of rounds in it.

It was a complete wreck.

Especially that large bed, which had broken into several pieces.

She still remembered the innkeeper's expression when he saw the shattered bed.

Bewilderment!

Shock!

A wicked grin!

Surprise!

Heartache!

And more besides.

In the end, they had to pay over ten jin of source stone before the innkeeper would let them leave.

As they left, he even muttered in apparent admiration, "Impressive! She can still walk!"

That had infuriated Li Qingyue so much she had almost wanted to kill him.

"Hahaha..."

Looking back at Li Qingyue's fierce expression and her lack of anywhere to vent her anger, Yan Wushuang burst out laughing.

Even Yang Wuzheng pressed his lips together, pretending to admire the scenery while secretly watching Li Qingyue out of the corner of his eye.

The innkeeper's expression back then had made the little girl instinctively cover her eyes.

She had even formed the Five Elements Mountain in her palm, looking ready to kill him to silence him.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Li Qingyue flew into a rage, glaring fiercely at Yan Wushuang.

She had discovered that Yan Wushuang was the secretly mischievous type. When they first met, he had seemed so honest, getting embarrassed whenever she teased him.

Though he was somewhat careless with others, he had still looked after her, often roasting meat for her to eat.

His goofy smile could even make people lower their guard.

But now that they knew each other well, his true nature had been completely exposed.

She even suspected that Yan Wushuang had only been playing dumb in front of her, while his heart was actually blacker than a lump of coal.

"No! How could I possibly be laughing... hahaha!"

One moment, Yan Wushuang was forcing down his laughter with a perfectly serious face; the next, he could not help bursting out laughing again.

It made Li Qingyue grit her teeth with hatred.

If they had not been out on the street, she would have given him a few more blows.

"You'd better watch yourself!"

Li Qingyue gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

Even now, remembering the innkeeper's expression made her ears burn.

The illustrious future Ruthless Great Emperor had actually been brought low by such a trivial matter.

"Of course. Thank you for the reminder, Qingyue. I'll be very careful!"

Yan Wushuang promptly replied, his face utterly earnest.

Buzz!

The void trembled slightly, and five-colored radiance flowed over the palm beneath Li Qingyue's sleeve.

Right now, she wanted nothing more than to hit Yan Wushuang.

She could not bear it another moment!

But just then, three streaks of light descended from the sky.

With them came a voice tinged with eagerness. "Fairy Qingyue, we meet again!"

Before Li Qingyue could react to those words, Yan Wushuang and Yang Wuzheng both stopped short, staring straight at the Tianquan Saint.

"Ahem! Brother Yan, Brother Yang!"

The Tianquan Saint greeted them with a hint of embarrassment.

"Greetings, Tianquan Saint, Sister Yuping..."

Li Qingyue spoke, only to realize that the person beside the two of them looked somewhat familiar, though she did not know who he was.

"Little Sister Qingyue, this is the Yaoguang Holy Son!"

The Tianxuan Saintess seemed to notice Li Qingyue's confusion and offered an introduction.

"Greetings, Yaoguang Holy Son!"

Li Qingyue promptly greeted him, quietly walking over to the Tianxuan Saintess.

Her eyes discreetly studied the Yaoguang Holy Son.

His looks were certainly fine: handsome as a scholar, dressed in white, with a tall, lean, sturdy frame.

He also possessed a gentle, composed air of nobility.

A kindly smile rested on his face, yet his eyes were cool, creating a sense of distance.

He was like an immortal high above, gazing indifferently upon the multitudes below.

Li Qingyue had noticed that the holy sons and saintesses of these Holy Lands seemed to favor white clothing.

At least, nearly everyone she had seen wore white. Only Yan Wushuang was somewhat different, wearing either a green or a blue robe.

"Greetings, Fairy Qingyue!"

The Yaoguang Holy Son smiled and nodded slightly. After greeting Yan Wushuang and Yang Wuzheng, he stood silently to one side and said no more.

For a moment, silence settled over the gathering.

"Let us set off, then!"

Seemingly sensing the awkwardness, the Tianquan Saint spoke, quietly glanced at Li Qingyue, then transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

The six of them flew toward the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Li Qingyue stood beside the Tianxuan Saintess, her small hands gripping the saintess's arm tightly, envy written all over her face.

Though she had condensed the five elements emperor script, she still could not fly.

Her true qi, imbued with the attributes of the five elements, was still some distance from divine power.

She could, however, work out quite a few ways to dodge and maneuver, as well as lightness techniques like those in the martial arts novels of her previous life.

"Why are your ears so red? Did something happen?"

With her arm linked through Li Qingyue's, the Tianxuan Saintess looked her over and noticed that her ears were suffused with blood.

They were intensely red.

"No! Nothing happened!"

Li Qingyue answered instinctively, her face flushing at once with a trace of fierceness and vexation.

Why did embarrassing memories always ambush her like this?

She did not want to die of embarrassment!

She wanted to kill everyone who knew!

"Were you bullied?"

The Tianxuan Saintess whispered softly beside Li Qingyue's ear, her orchid-fragrant breath falling across Li Qingyue's neck.

In that instant, Li Qingyue felt warmth spread over her neck.

Her arm was also nestled between two strange, warm, soft mounds.

Nothing underneath... no! She must be wearing a dudou... ah... Li Qingyue, what are you thinking?

You have them yourself!

As soon as those thoughts rose in her mind, Li Qingyue ruthlessly suppressed them. Even so, her face flushed again.

Her whole body stiffened, and she hardly dared move.

She would never have dared imagine such a scene even in her dreams.

Yet now, it had happened to her as naturally as any everyday occurrence.

"And you still say nothing happened?"

The Tianxuan Saintess reached up and pinched Li Qingyue's cheek. "If anyone wrongs you in the future, remember to tell your big sister!"

"I'll settle the score for you!"

Hearing the kindness in the Tianxuan Saintess's words, Li Qingyue nodded slightly.

She realized that, as she was now, she could offer no help at all to those who treated her well, beyond saying thank you.

"And... be careful of the Tianquan Saint!"

For this last sentence, the Tianxuan Saintess switched directly to voice transmission.

Li Qingyue's expression shifted in slight surprise.

She was no fool. In the Tianquan Saint's every action, she could sense the attention he paid her.

Yet now, even the Tianxuan Saintess had warned her.

Without divine power, she could not even transmit her voice. Though she had many questions at that moment, she had no way to ask them.

She could only turn her head slightly and look toward the figures wrapped in divine light ahead and to the side.

Just then, one of the figures within the divine light turned his head slightly.

The next moment, a gentle voice sounded in Li Qingyue's ears.

"Fairy Qingyue, this journey is extremely dangerous. Yuping and I will do everything we can to keep you safe."

"There is only one request we need your help with!"

"Get close to the Tianquan Saint and earn his trust!"

"I know you have many questions, but I cannot explain right now."

"The more you know, the greater the danger."

"Also, the Tianquan Holy Land... no! Do not readily trust anyone from the Seven Great Holy Land of the Eastern Wasteland, the Three Great Families, or the Ten Great Families of the Northern Plains, nor those from certain factions in the Central Continent."

"Of course, that includes me!"
