AST 1264 – Finally Encountering Di Chen, She Is Still Herself (teaser)

Qing Shui once again stayed behind in the Imperial City for a few more days . During this time, he consumed the Swift Agile Pill . This pill increased both the offensive speed and the normal speed of the consumer by 50% . He felt really satisfied with it .

Summing them up, Qing Shui’s speed had already increased abruptly by a few folds . Hence, his strength would also experience a significant increase . Sometimes, the strength increased due to speed wouldn’t be shown directly but as for its ability to deal damage, it would increase tremendously . For example, his current Nine Continents Mountain attacked the target with two times of both his speed and strength . If it had been three or four times of his speed, its power would have been even more terrifying .

This time, considering that his raw speed increased by multiple folds, it would cause the power of his Nine Continents Mountain to become significantly more powerful . Its prowess wasn’t something which could be compared to that from before . This was also part of the reasons why Qing Shui was willing to help Fu Rong refine the Swift Agile Pill .

This was given by Fu Rong out of her own free will . Or rather, it was given by her for long-term plans . Even if she hadn’t been willing to give it to him, he would still think of a way to get one or two pills from her . After all, speed was just too important to a warrior .

Time was almost up . New year was also approaching . Qing Shui immediately used the Nine Continents Steps Effect and flew into the direction towards the Hu Clan . He hoped that Di Chen would appear, he felt both excited and worried to see her .

It had been slightly more than one year since he came to the Western Oxhe Continent . He had been quite satisfied with his current speed . If it wasn’t because he was aware of the strength in the Western Oxhe Continent, Qing Shui wouldn’t have considered his long travel time to be fast . Nevertheless, he had already regarded himself as being very lucky right now .

It was already a few days later by the time he arrived at the area where the Hu Clan was located in . By the time he reached there, he was naturally welcomed with open hands . Qing Shui on the other hand, noticed that there was now another girl .

The girl was really beautiful and looked similar to Hu Yiya . Compared to her, she looked more mature and fresh . Her eyes were curved slightly upwards at the end, which made her looked a bit charming . However, with the lotus attire across her body, it caused her charmingness to become even fainter .

Hu Yiqian!

Qing Shui assumed that this girl was Hu Yiqian, the girl from the Lotus Sect! Qing Shui managed to sense a familiar aura from her body .

“Qing Shui, here, let me introduce her to you . She is my sister, Hu Yiqian . I never expected for her to come back this year . Furthermore, she came back so early . ” Hu Yiya said happily .

“Nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too!” Qing Shui politely greeted her back .

“I have already heard things regarding Mr . Qing . Sister Zhisha will help you with your stuffs . It will be a lot better compared to me helping you . ” Hu Yiqian said straightforwardly .

“Oh, I still have to thank you guys . If not for Sister Min taking me to Miss Diwu, I think I won’t even know who to look for to seek help . ” Qing Shui was telling the truth .

“You are welcome . This is a strength belonging to yourself . Even without us or the Diwu Clan, no one is really capable of stopping you for now . ” Hu Yiqian said with a smile .

Hu Yiqian spoke really highly of Qing Shui .

“Oh yes, is Miss Diwu back yet?” Actually, Qing Shui had been wanting to ask Hu Yiqian this question upon his arrival .

“It should be quite soon now . At most, she should be back within three days . ” Hu Yiqian said in a certain tone .

Upon hearing these words, Qing Shui felt a lot steadier . The only thing he didn’t know was whether Di Chen would show up . Back then when she left, even Qing Shui himself didn’t know about the situation . Unknowingly, they had already been separated for around eight years .

As he thought about all of this, he felt a bit sad . Since his lifespan had increased, eight years here weren’t really anything . But all in all, Qing Shui’s mind was still stopped at the concept from his previous incarnation . Eight years, in his previous incarnation, how many eight years could a person have to be at their most perfect age? How many people could possibly stand eight years of being separated from their loved ones?

By merely asking a few questions, Qing Shui already knew that the Lotus Sect didn’t really leak out their information to the outside world . Hence, he also stopped to inquire about the sect itself . Even Diwu Zhisha herself also refused to tell him about it, let alone Hu Yiqian .

Originally, Qing Shui wanted to meet them in person as he was reluctant to wait for three days . Unfortunately, he didn’t know the direction there . Furthermore, it seemed they had a specialized route they took to travel back and forth to the Lotus Sect . Hence, he had no choice but to give up on this idea .

Qing Shui lived through the the three days in torment . Early in the morning on the third day, he was already high up in the sky as he looked around the entire place . He had never expected himself to be so impatient now . If Di Chen didn’t show up, he felt that he might not be able to withstand that kind of feeling . If she didn’t really show up, he wondered if he would force Diwu Zhisha and Hu Yimin to spill out the location of the Lotus Sect .

It was just like a couple who loved each other from his previous incarnation, who promised each other to meet up today after half a year and the feeling they harbored when they were waiting for each other to show up . Qing Shui stood in the sky as he waited . He had been doing so since early up in the morning until the sun rose .

Was this the third day? Qing Shui didn’t know if Hu Yiqian meant the fourth day when she mentioned three days later .

Qing Shui never realized that he had so little patience . It was as if he couldn’t even wait for a day .

All of a sudden, Qing Shui stared at the south . There was a black spot which was advancing towards here at a really high speed .

Qing Shui felt unusual and the blood in his heart was also boiling . Without much thought, he immediately activated his Nine Continents Steps Effect and instantly appeared not far in front of the black spot .

At the moment Qing Shui spotted the enormous Blue Luan, he felt fired up . Even though it had been a long time since he last saw it, he could still confirm that this was the Blue Luan owned by Di Chen .

It was just that compared to before, the Blue Luan was way bigger now . Similarly, the aura it emitted was also a lot stronger .

This was the same kind of demonic beast as Qing Shui’s Fire Bird . Hence, it would have enormous hidden potential within its body . Of course, the gap now between Blue Luan and Qing Shui’s Fire Bird was too large . It was inferior to the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant even though the gap wasn’t actually as big . This caused Qing Shui to feel really shocked . It seemed that the Blue Luan also had some unusual encounters here .

He quickly looked towards the two figure on top of the Blue Luan . One of them was Diwu Zhisha . Qing Shui didn’t settle down his sight there . He immediately looked towards the other woman .

At the moment when he saw the figure, a feeling of familiarity emerged deep down from his heart . The eagerness he felt from before seemed as if they had been irrigated and turned into the current enormous surprise .

This was the figure which he had thought all day and night . It was precisely the one which he had been pursuing since he arrived in the Western Oxhe Continent . A profound yet graceful aura surrounded around her body as they emitted powerful life force .

Di Chen!

Like usual, she still wore snow white imperial robes . Her hair was tied in a bun and it had a phoenix hairpin stuck in it, giving people the feeling like she was untainted by even a speck of dust .

Just like before, her face was still covered by a snow-white veil . The only part of her face exposed was the black yet extraordinarily beautiful pair of her eyes .

She shared a bit of the momentum as well as gorgeousness which Canghai Mingyue had and also the extraordinary and unique feeling which belonged to that of Yiye Jiange .

Compared to before, Di Chen looked almost the same . However, the feeling she gave Qing Shui changed and felt a bit strange . Despite so, it wasn’t as distant as he had thought .

“Thank you Miss Diwu . Later on, Chen`Er and I will visit you in your house . I will definitely pay you back with great rewards . ” Qing Shui smiled and told Diwu Zhisha .

“It’s fine . You cured me . If you’re to really argue over it, I feel like I’m the one who earned more . I will welcome you to my house at anytime . For now, I’ll take my leave first . ” Diwu Zhisha said with a smile . After that, she nodded at Di Chen and left .

Qing Shui looked at Di Chen and slowly approached her . From the time they met each other until now, he hadn’t heard Di Chen said anything . But from her eyes, he could see a bit of contradiction in it .

“You only left behind a note . I felt abandoned . ” Qing Shui explained with a smile . By now, he had already walked up next to her .

“Qing Shui!”

Qing Shui felt a bit uncomfortable when he heard her called his name this time . Like usual, her voice still sounded like the voice of buddha, it still sounded as natural as ever . But compared to before, the way she called out to him sounded really awkward .

After all, it had been so long since she last mentioned this name .

“I was really afraid that you might have forgotten about me . By the time I figured out you’re here, I made haste to come here . But I soon realized that I wasn’t strong enough . Hence, the only thing I could do was cultivate hard . I still needed to arrange all the things back at home . I am scared that when I’m gone, other people will lay their hands on the Qing Clan . So I ended up strengthening everyone from the clan as well . At last, I managed to settle everything nicely before I came here . ” Qing Shui explained slowly .

While Qing Shui was speaking, the expression on Di Chen’s face changed . She came from the other five continents . She was already aware that Qing Shui was still too weak at that time to able to come to this place . But as it turned out, he still came here for her in the end .

Actually, ever since Di Chen arrived here, her grade had already reached a stable state . The situation brought forth by her violent increase in strength had begun to weaken slowly . After all, there were still quite a lot of people here who were more powerful than her . While she listened to Qing Shui, her eyes slowly looked more calm .

Naturally, Qing Shui saw her reaction . However, he only stopped for a while before he continued: “Even though I dare not say that I’m invincible there, but so far, I haven’t seen anyone who is able to stand against me . Who knew that I was nothing here and nor was I able to receive any information about you . That kind of unsettling feeling……is something you can never imagine, I was also scared that you might not recognize me when I see you and might end up killing me . Hence, the only thing I could do was to cultivate like mad so that if you happened to not recognize me by then, I would just snatch you away by force . Don’t you ever think about running away from me in your entire life . You are my woman . ”

“How would I not recognize you? Don’t even mention about killing you . ” Di Chen said gently . The corner of her eyes looked a bit wet . There was also a faint smile on her face, and also a bit of heartache . She felt really conflicted .

He gathered up his courage and went on to approach her . He held her white hands with both of his hands . Qing Shui’s mind was really calm . He looked at her without blinking even once . It was as if he wanted to make up for everything within this short period of time .

Di Chen let him held her hands as he pleased . It was because she was really afraid of the feelings from before that was why she decided to leave . As time passed by, the figure in her heart got clearer and clear and a sense of familiarity beckoned to her .

“Qing Shui, the Lotus Sect doesn’t allow their disciples to get married . ”

“I heard that it’s allowed to do so . ” Qing Shui said without much care . Seeing Di Chen like this, he felt relieved . It seemed that she didn’t forget about him, at least for now, she hadn’t . It might feel awkward at first but very quickly, they managed to recover back to like how they used to be around each other .

“For normal disciples to get married, they’ll have to leave the Lotus Sect . ” Di Chen said softly .

“Alright then, why don’t you leave the sect as well? Following me will definitely be better than staying in the Lotus Sect . ” Actually, Qing Shui disliked it when a particular sect restricted their disciples from doing this and that .
