Chapter 2073: 2073
AST 2073 - A Woman’s Mind, Back to the Northern Blue Domain



Once one of them was injured, Qing Shui no longer had any desires to continue fighting . Besides, he had more or less achieved his own objective . The battle had proven to be very effective for his own hardening and the Golden Battle Halberd in his hands was able to pierce through its target .

The charm of Iaido was now translated into the use of the Golden Battle Halberd . Qing Shui used to practice the art of Iaido for decades and had never forgotten about it even after many years . Now that his realm had increased tenfold from what it used to be, the power of a single blow had naturally increased in proportion .

A stroke of a Large Golden Dragon Palm Imprint was delivered from the Golden Battle Halberd, holding the last man in its clutches .

Using the Golden Battle Halberd to summon the Dragon-capturing Hands, he was able to lock down his opponents in just a moment . In additions, Iaido was used with the Golden Battle Halberd to land its mark on the man’s chest . Its impact sent the man flying backwards with blood and organs gushing out from the wound .

While it wouldn’t have finished off his opponent, he would never regain his cultivation in this lifetime either . At best, he could recover up to half of his current capabilities . Qing Shui would show no mercy to those who aided tyrants . At times, these people were pitiful but where there was sympathy, there existed factors to hate . For example, if Huo Lei needed women, the two men would capture one on sight for Huo Lei to abuse .

In smaller territories like the former Hundred Miles City, these people were just runners . However, at the Blazing Fire Land of the Haohan Continent, they were a part of a big clan . Hence, these runners had a high status here and were also very capable .

Qing Shui retracted his hand and looked back at Shen Huang, saying, "Let's go!"

Shen Huang nodded and said, "Let’s get out of here quick . I want to go back . There are still things I have to deal with . "



Qing Shui knew that Shen Huang was worried about the possibility of other Fire Manor members returning . The people who would arrive after this must be terrifying in strength so it was wise to leave now while they could . Even so, this woman wouldn’t allow herself to flee . She didn’t wish to leave here as if escaping .

"Mm . Now that I’ve beaten them up, it’s time to go . They won’t be able to catch up with us . " Qing Shui flashed a smile at Shen Huang .

Shen Huang was relieved, and a happy smile appeared on her face . This man was generous and open-minded, not at all petty and much less arrogant . He wasn’t pedantic either . This was nothing even for Qing Shui’s past life, but to flee during chaos was still embarrassing .

Qing Shui didn’t find it shameful . On the contrary; sometimes, one would be a fool not to run away .

With a reach of his hand to hold Shen Huang’s, he felt her pull .

From that gesture, Qing Shui understood immediately . The woman wasn’t the same as she was before . A person’s mind would broaden when at the brink of death; what used to be an impossible task would suddenly seem resolvable .

He was reminded of the previous life when a man—an ordinary man—who had an inferiority complex and never dared to confess to the girl he adored . Due to his low self-esteem, despite the many times he had attempted, he could never confess and was utterly convinced that she would never accept him . After all the effort he went through, he still couldn’t make himself confess .

Still, change was the only constant with life . The man had eventually been diagnosed with leukemia and without much time left in the world . When it happened, all his concerns seemed to have dulled and he didn’t care anymore . Even a confession to the girl didn’t seem like a difficult task anymore . It paled in comparison to the worries of life and death .



There was another case that was akin to this, except this person’s terminal illness and short prognosis were a mere lie . Hence, once he was declared healthy, his personality took a complete turn . He was a lot more cheerful than before . He became more positive, his skills had improved and he was more daring . He was a completely different person from the man who used to be afraid of speaking .

These incidents were also applicable to the martial world . Many would have an epiphany when tethering on the edge of life and death, changing the course of their fate in a split second . The fine line between life and death was also the easiest to break through . However, while escaping death was possible, the rate of success was less than 1 percent .

Therefore, going through a close call was a blessing in disguise . Whether it was the former technology world, or the current World of the Nine Continents, people who had survived a close call would gain a great deal in return .

What had just happened allowed Shen Huang to achieve so much more .

Qing Shui had planned to let go of her hand when he noticed Shen Huang's expression and understood how she felt . He didn't know what it would mean for him to let go but he didn’t want to put her on a difficult spot after witnessing her expression and the subtle reaction to his touch .

Slowly, Qing Shui let go of her hand, only to be stopped by Shen Huang, clutching onto his hand in a tight grip .

"What's wrong? Why are you letting go when you’ve held onto my hand for the past few days?" Shen Huang asked Qing Shui with a serious expression .

Qing Shui laughed . "You might have been affected by the threat earlier but you’re fine now . I know that this incident will embed me a little deeper in your mind, but I could still feel the shred of hesitance . I want you to be happy . ”

"Alright, Qing Shui . I don’t know if I love you, but you’re definitely the most important person in my life . " Shen Huang answered earnestly .

"I know!"

With that, Qing Shui landed at Dazang City with Shen Huang in tow .

This was the point that he had set their destination for earlier .

Seeing as New Year celebrations were still going on, the air was filled thickly with the festivity . In just a few days, Shen Huang had experienced a crucial turning point in her life .

"Miss, are you going back to the Imperial Cuisine Hall with me?" Qing Shui asked shortly arriving in Dazang City .

"Mmh, I will stay for a few days before returning to Phoenix City . " Shen Huang answered .

"If there is something you have to tend to, you can go back first . Otherwise, I can escort you . " Qing Shui had the Nine Continents Steps Effect, and would take him no time at all to reach Phoenix City .

Unexpectedly, Shen Huang nodded . "Let us head back to the Imperial Cuisine Hall first then . We can go back for a visit before returning to Phoenix Inn . I still owe you my gratitude after all, so let me treat you to a drink . "

The two returned to the Imperial Cuisine Hall and Big Tiger was elated . Nothing had happened in the past few days and the Imperial Cuisine Hall had already opened its doors for business . Due to what had happened previously, the Imperial Cuisine Hall became the most renowned in the Azure Rainbow City . There was no one in Azure Rainbow City who would provoke either the Imperial Cuisine Hall or the Yu Clan .

Everyone knew that the Zhan Clan had no power in this territory while the relationship between the Ji Clan and the Imperial Cuisine Hall was good . It was the Ji Clan, one of strongest clans in the Northern Blue Domain, that we were talking about . Furthermore, it was rumored that the Imperial Cuisine Hall had a good relationship with a few other powerful clans .

You couldn’t stay in such a place for long . Qing Shui had only been in Azure Rainbow City for a short while, but as much as it was a good layover, it wasn’t suitable for a long stay . Perhaps he would relocate the Qing Clan here in the future, or maybe it would never happen .

Qing Shui was not in favor of allowing members of the Qing Clan to be involved in this power struggle . If was fine for him to be caught up in it alone, but he didn’t wish to implicate the other members of the Qing Clan . Even so, some things were unpredictable, just like how you couldn’t always do as you wished .

Qing Shui had come to accept this unpleasant fact, just like his women . Some would keep up with him while others would not . This applied to his children as well . With time, it was inevitable that they would begin to drift and separate from him . This was a fact that couldn’t be changed .

He could only work hard at the foundation of all that was possible, and spare himself from any regrets in the future . His descendants would one day have descendants of their own . They would have to train well and increase their skills as Qing Shui would not be able to protect them forever . They would have their own lives to lead in the future, with their own circle of alliance, and their own effort to boot .

Qing Shui understood . He would not plan for his children’s lives; he could only give them some form of insurance and prevent others from bullying them . He would respect their decisions and give them his own set of conditions, such as training . He would give them the best possible foundation . As to how high they could build it up, it would have to depend on their own destinies .
