Legend of the Great Sage

way, when they said those things, Han Qiongzhi was sitting on top of Li Qingshan crankily.
Both of them were completely bare, confronting each other with sincerity.

Faced with a “naked” threat like that, all Li Qingshan could do was yield.
He shook his head firmly, and only then did Han Qiongzhi let go of him in satisfaction.
“That’s more like it!” In the next moment, Li Qingshan rolled over and was on top.

So-called “cultivation partners” were people who could bring help to each other’s cultivation.
If the conditions were met, then even two men could be cultivation partners and cultivate together.
However, when it came to “partners of love”, there was no need for anything like that.
Sometimes, they would instead negatively influence one another.

As cultivators, personal independence was extremely important, but becoming husband and wife like regular people was about sacrificing a part of the independence to contribute to the family, which would lead to a dilemma that was difficult to resolve.
It definitely was not as simple as finding each other annoying because they had spent too much time together.

Even Li Qingshan who did whatever he wanted had almost chosen to directly break through to the fifth layer of the spirit turtle for her sake in the past, embarking on a path that was much more difficult.
The various dilemmas Han Qiongzhi faced because of him went even more without saying.
No matter how deep their love for each other was, it could not withstand something like that.

As a result, the two of them did not cohabit like that.
Instead, they would meet up once in a while, ranging from every one or two days to every three or five days.
They spent their remaining time on cultivation, which created a special way in how they got along.

Han Qiongzhi was not the type of woman who would be trapped by this kind of love, bothered by it endlessly.
She possessed some of the straightforwardness of a man.
As a result, she opened her mind and let him do whatever he wanted without probing deeply into these secrets.
If he had not been like that, she would not have liked him in the first place.

However, when they were together, she definitely exercised her rights as his primary woman.
She could not even put up with him making intimate contact with the women he conjured.
She did not force herself to accept all of him, nor did she force him to do every little thing the way she would like him to.

Actually, she was no less busy than Li Qingshan.
Apart from cultivation, she also had responsibilities from the clan and missions from the Hawkwolf Guard.
She was different from Qiu Haitang.
She did not live purely for the word “love”.

She had also once sincerely told Li Qingshan that if he actually grew tired of her one day, all he had to do was tell her honestly.
He would not be forced to do anything.
She would personally pen the divorce letter and pass it to him.

At this moment, Li Qingshan felt a familiar aura grow near.
Ru Xin trudged through the snow.
Perhaps because she sensed Han Qiongzhi’s existence, she stopped and hesitated before continuing on her way, eventually appearing in his field of view.
Her clothes were even whiter than snow, and her skin was like jade as she stood elegantly.

Han Qiongzhi immediately broke away from Li Qingshan’s arms.
She stood up and clasped her hands.
“Fellow Ru, long time no see!”

It had been a very long time since she had seen Ru Xin.
Surprised filled her eyes.
In the past, she was already a relatively outstanding beauty, but now, she gave off an icy-cold, transcendent feeling.
If it were not for her lively eyes, she might have mistaken her for an extremely delicate jade statue.
She could not help but develop a sliver of caution towards this woman who she had heard being mentioned with Li Qingshan the most.

“Fellow Han, apologies, I’ve interrupted your intimate session.”

Li Qingshan spread his arms with a smile.
“Actions over words.
You can do it too!”

Before he had even finished speaking, an icy-cold blade was placed against his neck.
Li Qingshan laid out his hands helplessly.
“Looks like we need to wait until this tigress is gone.”

Ru Xin smiled.
“Alright, big brother Qingshan.
Just like usual?”

“Big brother Qingshan!” Li Qingshan felt like he had just been punched in the gut.

“Just like usual?” Han Qiongzhi raised an eyebrow and swung down.
Li Qingshan ducked in a hurry, and the sharp blade aura swept over his head.

“Heh, it’s just a joke, so please don’t misunderstand, fellow Han.
Fellow Li has many beautiful women, but I’m fortunately not one of them.”

Li Qingshan curled his lip.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to cause misunderstandings if you say it like that?” Han Qiongzhi said, “Hmph, misunderstandings?”

“When your wedding arrives, I will definitely offer up a lavish gift.
Hopefully you haven’t been cut down by fellow Han by then!”

“You two take your time.
I’ll take my leave for now.”

Li Qingshan pulled Han Qiongzhi into his arms and said to Ru Xin, “Alright, stop joking around.
Come in and have some tea! You definitely didn’t come here for nothing.
Why are you looking for me?”

Ru Xin said, “Don’t worry about the tea.
I’ve already refined the medicine you wanted.”

“Medicine? What medicine?” Li Qingshan could not recall him ever asking Ru Xin to refine some medicine for him.

“Hmm? You forgot? It’s for erectile dysfunction… Ah, almost slipped up with my mouth!” 

“You already said it!” Li Qingshan said vexedly.

“I see now! No wonder!” Han Qiongzhi drew out her voice and looked at Li Qingshan with a disdainful gaze.

Ru Xin took out a glass bottle filled with faint, red liquid and placed it into Li Qingshan’s hand.
She patted his hand with a smile.
“Take good care of your body!”

When the tips of their fingers touched, Li Qingshan felt that her hands were icy-cool, just like cold jade.
Was it because of the Heavenly Tome of Cloud Furnace?

He gazed into her eyes.
“Tell me, what is this medicine exactly?”

“Medicine for balancing yin and yang, for merging water and fire.
It can guarantee an early pregnancy and scaling to new heights.
Why don’t you test it out?”

Han Qiongzhi heard “balancing yin and yang” and “an early pregnancy”.
She became giddy.

However, Li Qingshan heard “medicine for merging water and fire” and “guarantee scaling to new heights”.
The meaning hidden in that left him extremely interested.
He still wanted to say something else, but Ru Xin had already clasped her hands gracefully and trudged away through the snow.
