Chapter 648: Deep affection – Generous love

Chapter 648: Deep affection – Generous love

Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh

When Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui arrived, Shi Yan still wore a gloomy face, as he was yet to figure out the solution.

Yang Tian Emperor and Cao Qiu Dao’s group were also upset and gloomy; their countenance looked heavy. They were stressed because of the pressure from the seven ancient factions.

When the two elegant beauties, whose appearance and bearings were more exquisite than Fan Xiang Yun, arrived, Cao Qiu Dao and Yang Tian Emperor changed their faces, starting to gather their powers. They all looked tense.

They thought that the seven ancient factions had started their operation. Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui were their first wave of attack. The two men were preparing to kill them.

At this moment, Shi Yan frowned and woke up from his deep thought. Seeing the two beautiful women who had a love knot with him, he tried to beam a smile.

"Why are you here?

"

"Lin Meng, Nie Ruo, and Guan Ho are about to attack you guys. We’re here… to tell you to leave early. Don’t wait until they come.

" Bing Qing Tong’s pretty eyes held a faint streak of affection. She smiled elegantly.

"It’s good that you’ve reached the Third Sky of Spirit Realm.

"

Han Cui's eyes brightened as she smiled gorgeously.

"You, this b*stard! Can you stop making people worry about you? It's obvious that you have an excellent natural endowment. Why do you always put yourself in difficult situations? Sigh, I don't know what to tell you.

"

Hearing Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui, Yang Tian Emperor’s group was startled as they felt something weird here.

They had heard about the story between Shi Yan and the four ice flowers of the Ice Emperor City… However, they couldn’t confirm if it were true or not. Today, as they had finally seen the two gorgeous women and their soft voices, they immediately recognized that the truth could be more unbelievable than the rumors.

"You guys shouldn't have come here. You should stay in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. Why do you want to come here for troubles?

" Shi Yan felt warm. He put aside his worries for a moment and then smiled.

"Where are the others? How were you doing in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain?

" He was referring to Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu.

"They can’t get out. Otherwise, they should be here already.

" Bing Qing Tong bit her lips. She was always a noble and cold woman, but now, she looked like a little girl who had just tasted love.

"Go, we will go with you. It’s alright if we can dodge this calamity. The power of the seven ancient factions is much more dangerous than what you’ve imagined. Your force… I think you can’t deal with them.

"

She knew the seven ancient factions force was imposing. She knew Lin Meng’s group was determined, and she also knew that Shi Yan was stubborn. Asking him to leave his people and join the seven ancient factions was impossible. She didn't talk much to persuade him.

"If I could leave, I would have left already.

" Shi Yan smiled and then shook his head, talking to Yang Tian Emperor’s group.

"Don’t hasten. There’s always a will. Give me more time.

"

Yang Tian Emperor smiled and waved his hand.

"You guys should talk. I need to run some errands.

"

Cao Qiu Dao and Shi Jian were also tactful. They smiled and then left. The worries they had settled.

Both Yang Tian Emperor and Cao Qiu Dao were the heroes in the Endless Sea. After a hundred years, they had been through so many kinds of dangers. Their minds and hearts were persistent and brave, such that nothing could compare. They would never be cracked easily by the current problem.

Everybody dispersed, as Shi Yan, Bing Qing Tong, and Han Cui sat together by the lake, where waves rippled beautifully with the sun, moon, and stars shining above their heads. Wind breezed, blowing the refreshing scent towards them. The three looked peaceful and harmonious.

"Have you ever… missed us?

" Han Cui kept silent for a while and then asked weakly. Light flashed in her beautiful eyes, as a trace of longing appeared on her charming face.

"Sometimes,

" Shi Yan turned to look at her, flashing his white teeth in a radiant smile. The sinister and cold manners of the past vanished.

"But I'm so busy. Each step I've taken is full of danger. I've been fighting with many people… I don't have much time…

"

"It’s alright,

" Bing Qing Tong's soft, delicious lips parted as she whispered.

"We don't wish for many things. As long as we have a position in your heart… even if it's tiny, it's enough for us. Our ages are much different… We understand… We aren't matched…

"

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui had been famous in the Divine Great Land for so many years. Their age was actually much bigger than his.

However, women who cultivated martial arts could keep their youth as their realm increased. At the same time, their Ice Jade Technique was specialized in retaining one’s appearance. It helped them preserve their beauty forever. At first glance, they were just in their twenties.

However, they knew their real ages. During the time they had spent together, they always felt small, as they thought that they had taken advantage of Shi Yan. They had never wanted to occupy him.

As time flew, Shi Yan had reached the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, the same realm as theirs. With their knowledge, they knew Shi Yan would go on to a wider world. Their thought of occupying Shi Yan had soon been cut off.

In this great land, strong warriors could do what they wanted. They could rule the others, or… they could destroy the whole world.

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui had gawked at Shi Yan’s progress, watching him about to surpass them. Gradually, they felt helpless. They thought that they should seize the time and spend more time with him. Although this affection was short, it was enough to comfort their hearts.

Most of the women treasured their love. And, they would always want to sink into the river of love.

Women who practiced martial arts didn’t dare to fall in love. Since they weren’t resolute like men, a relationship could entangle them for the rest of their lives, affecting their progress on the martial road.

These four women knew that they had sunk deep into this affection after Shi Yan left the Ice Emperor City. They always wanted to know his situation. During the quiet nights, they had yearned for that figure.

"We just want… just want to stay with you more.

" Han Cui was usually a strong woman. But under this ambiance, where the sun, moon, and stars reflected themselves radiantly in the lake, she seemed to turn weaker.

"We women… are like that. When a man takes our hearts, we will become weak… and useless.

"

Shi Yan sat quietly. A puzzled thought appeared in his eyes as he felt so many flavors appear in his heart.

He had left them determinedly because he considered the four women an ingredient of the love in his life. They weren't his main course.

However, at the most critical moment, these two women didn’t hesitate to go against the seven ancient factions. They didn’t care about their lives coming here for him. They were like a rock falling into the lake of his heart, rippling vehemently.

"I’m an inborn heartless. I’m selfish, too. I’m not a good person. I don’t know how to make up for your good deeds…

" Shi Yan turned his head away, his eyes flurried.

"It… I still have you… in my heart.

"

Light glowed from deep inside Bing Qing Tong’s and Han Cui’s eyes. They seemed to be revived. Their soul, spirit, and mind seemed to be sublimated.

Shi Yan was surprised. His Soul Consciousness started to sense as he said,

"You… Your souls seem to have changed!

"

"

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui hadn’t felt the change in their bodies yet. Hearing Shi Yan, a divine light sparkled in their eyes. Halos bloomed from them, as their aura was changed obviously.

After Shi Yan left, the inner world of Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui wasn't steady. Their hearts were puzzled, and they couldn't progress their power. Both their soul and realm were affected, as they were all covered by a gray mist that they couldn't see through.

This was Mara – the most dangerous obstacle in cultivating! If they couldn't get over it, they would have to stay in their current realm for the rest of their lives.

(Mara is the demon of temptation in Buddhism – TL)

At this moment, Mara in their hearts had been swept away, leaving their souls clean and safe. They no longer felt the dim curtain that restrained their hearts. Also, their realm seemed to be increased.

"Follow me. At this moment, you’re about to break through easily. I’m making it up for you, giving you something that I can.

" Shi Yan stood up, waving his hand. A translucent halo covered the two women.

Just like a meteor crossing through the Perpetual Night Forest, Shi Yan brought Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui swaying through many gaps in the forest. After an hour, they got to the lake.

Releasing the Earth Flame, he took Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui, who didn't understand anything, to the lake bottom, heading towards the Creator’s Divine Pond.

Near the ancient formation, Ye Chang Feng, Li Zheng Rong, and Di Shan were adjusting themselves with their eyes closed.

Di Shan and Li Zheng Rong had entered the True God Realm, and they had created their God Soul. At this moment, they were enhancing their new realm. Magical earth and heaven energies were twirling around them.

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui didn’t know Di Shan, but they knew Li Zheng Rong. They couldn't help but shout, their faces astounded.

The alchemists and blacksmiths in the Divine Great Land were the groups of special people with noble status. They were famous, but their progress in martial cultivation was always slower than the other warriors. Even Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui had heard about Li Zheng Rong, who had been stuck in the Spirit Realm for so many years.

They had never thought that Li Zheng Rong could eventually break through to the True God realm and seclude in this ordinary lake. This was hard to believe.

"It’s true. Old Li has entered the True God Realm warrior. From now on, he has discovered a new world.

" Shi Yan smiled, pointing at the wonderful spiritual station.

"Bing Tong, you go in there then release your soul. Calm it down and let the station guide you.

"

Bing Qing Tong followed his words and flew up. She was still suspicious. When she was about to reach the station, she turned her head and asked,

"What will happen?

"

"Ten days later, you’ll reach the True God Realm. No risks. Nothing unexpected.

" Shi Yan smiled.

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui were dumbstruck.

"Sisters-in-law, Shi Yan isn’t joking. It’s real. My teacher and Uncle Di Shan have finished that process.

" Ye Chang Feng giggled, his face inviting people to beat him.

Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui were startled when he addressed them ‘sister-in-law.’ They blushed, but joy filled their hearts.

"Go pursue the higher realm,

" Shi Yan urged.

The beautiful eyes of Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui glowed like the diamonds. They couldn't help but shiver. They were overwhelmed by this big joy.
