“Hehe, it was my first time kissing someone else’s butt…”
“Bastard, just die!” Shen Huang annoyingly replied . With a blushing face, she glared at Qing Shui, with no idea of her own allure . Her face exuded an indescribable charisma, one that could captivate crowds .
“Just give me another kiss…”
Shen Huang did not reply and continued walking . She knew that staying on this topic would only humiliate her even further . Saying ‘This bastard’ inwardly, but she did not actually hate him . She was just slightly flustered; even feeling something that she had never felt before .
Qing Shui smiled as he caught up, “Are you angry, my lady?”
“Who the hell is your lady!” Shen Huang ignored him and just continued walking .
“But I remember you saying that you’re my lady and mine alone . ” Qing Shui said, smiling as he watched her exquisite figure . It was as if a fairy was sauntering leisurely amongst the mortal .
“I won’t be saying that anymore in the future, you bastard . ” Shen Huang replied angrily .
Qing Shui’s words simply humiliated her . This rascal was too daring with his words .
“Okay okay, I am a bastard . Don’t be angry anymore alright? How about I let you kiss my butt?”
“I don’t want to, you’re so disgusting . ” Shen Huang was about to explode with anger . This little rascal really knew no bounds .
“I thought that if I got bitten somewhere you would save me . It turns out that I thought too highly of myself . ” Qing Shui said sheepishly .
Shen Huang froze . She turned back to look at Qing Shui, knowing that he was just playing around . After that, she lightly stamped her foot,“ You really know how to bully me . I know you’re just kidding with me . If it really happened as you said, I wouldn’t leave you to die . Don’t say such things next time, you big baddie . ”
Qing Shui let out a chuckle, imagining the scene of Shen Huang kissing his butt and it showed on his face . Shen Huang caught him and pulled Qing Shui’s ear, saying, “Get rid of those dirty thoughts . ”
… . . .
“Right, you said that there are no treasures on the Phoenix Mountain?” Qing Shui rubbed his nose . He knew the boundaries; he could not continue lest he came off as repulsive . Even though life was more exciting and invigorating with such thoughts, there had to be some self-restraint . Otherwise, too much would just disgust others .
“Of course there are, the Phoenix Mountain entices countless people to Phoenix City . Just for the sake of the treasure,” replied Shen Huang without hesitation .
“Why don't we also look for some treasures? We might be able to find some good ones,” said Qing Shui, then he proceeded to release the Dragon Slaying Beast .
“Treasures aren’t as easy to find as you may think . If they were that easy to find then they wouldn’t be treasures at all,” Shen Huang sighed .
“Yes, but I am not like the others . I have a treasure-seeking beast . This guy also seeks treasures,” said Qing Shui while pointing at the Dragon Slaying Beast .
No one knew that the Dragon Slaying Beast was once a treasure-seeking beast or a Spiritual Medicinal Beast .
“We could try looking for some since we don’t have anything to do anyway . Follow me somewhere, there might be larger treasures there,” Shen Huang suggested .
Qing Shui’s eyes lit up . Shen Huang’s troops were based in the Phoenix Mountain; it only made sense that she understood this place inside out . Furthermore, every force would have a team which was specialized to find these treasures . They would be called ‘the treasure-finding team’ . Every sect and clan had people with such skills .
The team members, especially the leaders, were all extremely important . Their character was an important aspect; since a treasure could easily entice people to covetously pocket it, or even devolve the situation into team-killing .
Furthermore, to establish a proper carrot-and-stick system, one had to maintain a tight grip on them . Not only did you have to strike fear in them, but you also had to make them respect you, or else the result would be subpar .
The Royal Phoenix Organization naturally had such a group of people . They scouted countless areas and found many treasures . Though a lot of them were rather mediocre, some of those treasures were still decent, and most importantly, they found a very peculiar area .
Phoenix Valley!
This was a very mysterious area . There seemed to be some intangible illusion preventing the people of the Phoenix city, even Shen Huang, from seeing anything out of the ordinary . However, judging by their intuition, this place definitely held treasures .
“Let’s go to Phoenix Valley! Someone highly skilled previously set down an illusion formation, or at least I think so; I can’t be absolutely sure . Are you interested in checking it out? Legend says that there was a Phoenix nest; there was an absolutely enormous Chinese Parasol Tree in there,” suggested Shen Huang .
“Alright, let’s go and take a look . Don’t worry, I am a formation master . It doesn’t matter what kind of formation it is, I will be able to break it . ” Qing Shui bragged .
At least from Shen Huang’s perspective, he was bragging . However, she knew that Qing Shui understood about formations . The first time Qing Shui saved her, it was through the means of breaking a formation, and hence, Shen Huang thought of bringing him to the Phoenix Valley to take a look . There were many formation masters in the world, but those who could break ancient formations were quite a few in number . At least amongst the ones that Shen Huang had come across .
She felt that out of all of the formation masters she knew, Qing Shui was the strongest one .
The Phoenix Valley was not far since it was in one of Phoenix city’s large mountains . Furthermore, they were out of the mountain . With their powerful and fast beasts, it did not take them long to reach the Phoenix Valley .
The rocks were dyed with bright and crimson-red color . Moreover, the surroundings seemed slightly warmer, but the air remained fresh . Though it was in the middle of the frigid winter, the Phoenix Valley was a fiery summer all year round .
They had deep cultivation bases . Otherwise, any normal person would sweat non-stop . It could be said that the weather here could steam buns . However, none of this had any effect on Qing Shui and Shen Huang since they did not sweat one drop . Instead of heat, they felt a light breeze blow past them with an indescribable comfort . The weather was good and since they could not feel the heat, with their body’s strong ability to adapt, it felt like spring for them all the time .
“We are here . Are there any hidden formations here?” Shen Huang said while pointing to the valley’s entrance in front .
Qing Shui took a look and did not see any formations,“ Let’s go in and take a look . ”
After walking in, they did not realize anything different . It seemed like any other valley, filled with flora and fauna . There were many huge Chinese Parasol Trees, especially the one in the middle . Compared to the rest, it was at least twice as large . It was the largest Chinese Parasol Tree in Phoenix valley .
Legend said that there were once many Phoenixes here, but it could have been just one clan or one family of Phoenixes that had occupied this valley . It could also very well be just a single Phoenix .
The Divine Phoenix Dragon was still a fabled existence . Qing Shui’s Dark Phoenix was also a species of Phoenix, but its bloodline was lacking compared to a true Phoenix . The bloodline of a Phoenix could be split into 3 different levels . A demonic beast’s bloodline was strictly hierarchical . A weak bloodline would perpetuate weakness, just like the exponential difference when multiplying different numbers by the same amount . The difference in bloodline level was even more unforgiving .
Qing Shui’s gaze stopped upon these Chinese Parasol Trees . His expression became even more serious . There were a lot of such trees, nearly around ten thousand or so . At the first glance, he could not sense anything, yet there was this strange and lingering feeling that he vaguely felt . However, even after a close inspection, he could not tell what was wrong .
“Do you also feel that there's something wrong with the Chinese Parasol Trees?” asked Shen Huang while looking at Qing Shui .
