The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 322 - I Hope You'll Always Remember Me!
A protective formation was also set up around that Spiritual Spring, meant to deter anyone who wanted to spy on the cultivators inside. The higher the level of the formation, the higher the level of its defensive formation. The spring that Qing Shan entered was one of the three best Aquaculture Springs in the city. To Qing Shan, this formation was as much as he did not need.
"Huhftt!! There are only women in this town. So what advantage can they get from spying on me while soaking in the water?"
Suddenly, the wooden door opened. The shadow of a woman emerged from the mist of evaporating springs. It was Wu Shi. His face reddened in embarrassment as he put on his bathrobe.
According to Mo State tradition, husband and wife must share the same spring. Since she was still pretending to be Qing Shan's woman, she had to enter the same spring as Qing Shan.
Previously, he had been protected by Qing Shan from the attack of demon general Yi Lan and survived unscathed. That's why he came to see Qing Shan. Moreover, he intended to persuade Qing Shan to let Chen Xiu go.
And he bravely came there even though he was ashamed.
“Eh? I never expected you to come here. Haha!' Qing Shan teased Wu Shi.
Upon hearing Qing Shan's words, her cheeks immediately became even redder like tomatoes.
“Can't you be a little serious?! I'm so embarrassed! But you seem to be in good shape because you can still joke with me. Turns out, this spring is very helpful in your recovery.”
Wu Shi was quite relieved to see Qing Shan's current condition. However, when he walked to the side of the spring, he could not take off his own clothes and enter the spring.
He quietly muttered to himself, 'This country is really very open... Why should a husband and wife share the same bath? Don't they feel ashamed for themselves…? Even when a married couple is making love, there is a cover that covers the body.”
“Emm. If you're embarrassed, you don't have to take that bathrobe off. Jump into the water. These springs have abundant spiritual qi that not only helps in improving the cultivation realm, but also nourishes the skin. If you are still embarrassed even while wearing your bathrobe, then I will close my eyes!”
Qing Shan deliberately closed his eyes but narrowed them to peek at him once in a few seconds.
"Easy! I don't want to trouble you.” Said Wi Shi a little annoyed by his actions. Then, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Before, while still in Demonic God City, my feet had been touched in an indecent manner by him. When I was captured by that female demon, she almost saw my entire body. I don't think it's worse than before because I'm still wearing this bathrobe!'
Finally, Wu Shi could only bite his lips and go into the spring water. He felt a little uncomfortable because of his robe.
He stayed one meter away from Qing Shan and leaned against the rock. He started talking but then hesitated.
“Is there something you want to tell me? Let me guess. You want me to let go of Chen Xiu, don't you?” Qing Shan smiled faintly. He knew this Wu Shi cared deeply about justice and truth.
“Really! Fellow Chen was also a white flow cultivator. He is a man of good manners and morality. Besides, I heard that when he was in the country, he never …. ”
Wu Shi intended to tell Qing Shan about Chen Xiu's good behavior but Qing Shan waved his hand with a frown on his face.
“If you want me to let go, then I will do as you say. But, I don't like you praising other men."
"I'm getting a little tired now!" Qing Shan's head became dizzy as fatigue took hold of his body. He closed his eyes once more and slept while leaning against the stone wall.
What a grueling journey across several countries with relentless killing and bloodshed.
Wu Shi blamed himself for what happened to Qing Shan because he brought a lot of trouble to her. Moreover, Qing Shan did not even complain but acted contrary to his desire to save her.
In the conversation he wanted to say, he actually had more words to speak to Qing Shan at this moment. Once they leave this country, they might not meet again in the future. Twenty more days were the last day for them to spend time together.
When Qing Shan's snoring voice sounded, Wu Shi let out a long sigh.
'I don't think I have a chance to talk to him anymore. Did you know that you were always so stubborn? Maybe after you increase your cultivation realm in the boundless ocean region, you won't suffer in this way anymore.'
Wu Shi stood up and quietly approached Qing Shan. He was so close that his arm touched Qing Shan's hand.
He gathered the courage within himself to surround Qing Shan's neck with his hands, and hugged him. He placed Qing Shan's head directly on the soft part of his chest.
His face reddened once again but he hugged Qing Shan even tighter.
Qing Shan who was already sleeping soundly felt his face curl up into a fragrant and tender area. He was curious where he was but his eyelids were too heavy to open.
Unknowingly, night had arrived in that City. Some cherry blossoms will fall on the surface of the spring whenever a gentle breeze blows. The dim light of night evokes a melancholic atmosphere in the koya but can still look beautiful.
Yidou City was actually a place for cultivators heading into the region of the boundless ocean.
"I hope you'll always remember me." Wu shi's voice was so small that it was barely audible.
He then placed his lips on Qing Shan's forehead. Since this was the first time he had kissed someone, he immediately pulled his head back as soon as his lips touched Qing Shan's brow skin.
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Qing Shan's physical body had mostly recovered but his sea of consciousness had only healed a little.
The level of damage in his sea of consciousness was incredible. Therefore, he would need a long time to recover, perhaps at least a few years.
"It seems that I can only fully recover in the Golden Palace." Qing Shan muttered as he came out of the spring and immediately put on his new robe.
