Chapter 1299: Setting Foot in the Dragon Province, Entering the Jade Gates
âUnderstood.â
Li Qingshan answered, but the interest in his eyes only increased.
RÄhu Xiaoming realised he had made a miscalculation. If he could accept a warning like that, he would not be Li Qingshan. If the foxes of Yousu were all too anxious to see the world be thrown into disorder, he was not any better.
Bang!
The white, jade gates of the Jade palace swung open completely. An elegant and exceedingly beautiful woman stood at the entrance, her hair white like snow and her clothes white like a fairyâs.
Her collar and sleeves were decorated with flakes of frost, which swayed in the wind. The snowflakes circled around her, like a snow fairy that had ended up in a mortal world.
However, she held a great axe in her hand, crystal-clear and brutal in appearance. She stared at Si Long outside with her pure-white eyes, freezing all of his thoughts.
âXiaoâe!â
Si Longâs expression changed. He never expected to encounter her here.
âThe Frost-feathered Moth King!â
Li Qingshan was surprised. The white-haired woman was the Frost-feathered Moth King he had saved from beneath the Ice Sword cliff.
Didnât she have a feud with the Nine-tailed Fox Empress?
In the past, he had left Xuanyue to her, exactly because he did not want Xuanyue to become involved with Great Xia. He never expected her to be in the Jade palace.
The wind and snow howled, growing fiercer and fiercer. The cold was bone-piercing.
The Frost-feathered Moth King unfurled a pair of white wings. Her head full of white hair flew up into a mess as she swung the Divine Axe of Profound Ice with both hands. The sky full of snow revolved rapidly around the ice axe, turning into a tornado that rose straight up into the sky like a furious, white dragon.
âSi Long!â
The Frost-feathered Moth Kingâs voice was filled with icy, bone-piercing hatred. She grasped the opening that Si Long had shown due to his emotions and swung down suddenly with the Divine Axe of Profound Ice.
The snow tornado poured down, like the collapse of a pillar from the heavens. It was unstoppable.
The officials rushed over, either calling out âProtect his majesty!â or âBe careful of any sneak attacks from the wretched daemon behind!â
No wonder the Clam King of Mirage Sea told me to come. Itâs a pincer attack against Si Long. The swing of that axe is very powerful, and the technique behind it is subtle enough. Looks like sheâs recovered her strength and gained control over the weapon spirit in the axe. There probably arenât a lot of people who can block a direct blow. However, thatâs still nowhere near enough to defeat Si Long!
Li Qingshan shook his head. He was not optimistic about the Frost-feathered Moth Kingâs attack, nor did he have any intentions of coordinating with her.
Si Long recovered mentally. With a wave of his right hand, he ordered all of the officials to back down.
He wielded his left hand like a sword and pierced the wind and snow instantly, pressing against the Frost-feathered Moth Kingâs forehead.
Time seemed to freeze there. The officials all stopped with various expressions. The Divine Axe of Profound Ice hung over Si Longâs head, unable to drop even an inch further.
Boom!
The snow tornado that poured down immediately dissipated. The ice and snow it had gathered was like an avalanche, producing a deep chasm several thousand metres long in the ground. The Sovereign Dragon King was in the vicinity of the attack too, so a faint, golden barrier rose up, blocking the entirety of the attack.
âXiaoâe, long time no see!â
Si Long pulled back his hand slowly, completely ignoring the Divine Axe of Profound Ice hanging over his head. He stared straight at the Frost-feathered Moth King; his gaze softened.
âSi Long, youâve finally gathered the courage to attack me directly. And I had thought you were going to try some other treacherous scheme!â
The Frost-feathered Moth Kingâs lips curled into a sneer, recovering her usual cold and emotionless state.
Taking a step backwards, she moved out of the way and raised her hand. âSince youâve passed my test, please come in! Today is a day of great joy for you. Please do not be late.â
Li Qingshan played Si Longâs attack through his head again and again to determine his strength.
Sure enough, the difference in strength is far too great. It canât be made up for with just a weapon!
He said to Gu Yanying and the others, âWait outside to reinforce me. Iâll go in to attend the wedding, as well as destroy it in the process!â
Si Long nodded. âYeah. Today really is not the time to catch up. If I have ever let you down in the past, I will make it up to you to the best of my ability. Please forgive me!â
He glanced backwards. A tremendous aura barged into the Dragon province. With a smile on his lips, he soon set foot in the Jade palace.
The officials behind him soon entered in single file, carrying various kinds of exotic treasures that were covered in red silks. They were the betrothal gifts that Si Long had prepared carefully.
The Frost-feathered Moth King blanked out slightly. Suddenly, a voice filled with joy and surprise rang out, âXiaoâe, it really is you!â
Scarlet hair danced through the air, passing through the wind and snow and setting foot in the Jade palace at last. He pulled Bai Xiaoâe into his arms tightly, scorching like a ball of flames.
âItâs the wretched daemon!â âBe careful, fellows.â
The expressions of Great Xiaâs officials changed drastically. No one thought he would arrive so hurriedly and swiftly. All of them behaved like they were facing a powerful enemy. Facing him at such a close range, their lives could be lost at any moment. They could not afford any carelessness.
Si Long frowned. Who knew whether it was because of his subordinatesâ improper reaction or because Li Qingshan had pulled Bai Xiaoâe into his arms.
Li Qingshan easily overwhelmed any resistance that Bai Xiaoâe put up and smiled. âYou bunch of trash, stop acting like that! Iâve been formally invited to come!â Then he said slowly and tenderly to Bai Xiaoâe in his arms, âXiaoâe, that faithless man doesnât want you, but I donât mind you. Just accept me!â
Bai Xiaoâe could not help but look towards Si Long with some hidden anticipation.
Si Longâs frown eased up; he clasped his hand. âSo itâs fellow Li. Iâve failed to welcome you from afar, so please forgive me. Since youâve come, please receive the bride with me and then come back to Dragonshead mountain with me for a drink!â
Mirao definitely had Xiaoâe receive the guests as an attempt to test my sincerity. Sheâs definitely watching from inside the palace. If Iâm overly intimate with her, Mirao will definitely be unhappy. Sheâll think I still have some lingering feelings.
So be it! Fixation on trifles can ruin bigger things! Li Qingshan, after today, Iâll turn all of your women into playthings.
Li Qingshan could clearly sense the malice. âAlright, thatâs exactly what I was thinking. Just like how you should resolve grievances instead of deepening them, letâs have a proper talk!
The more the enemy decided to be patient, their killing intent only became more obvious. What a hypocritical bastard!
He could sense how Bai Xiaoâe no longer struggled in his arms, so he let go of her instead. He said, âLeave here!â Afterwards, he strode towards Si Long.
One step, two steps, three stepsâŠ
His daemon qi constantly rose, like a tiger on the prowl. The two of them rapidly approached each other.
Si Long seemed to be smiling, while the officials stood ready for battle, like a colossal dragon occupying the place.
A battle was on the verge of erupting.
Bai Xiaoâe suddenly drifted over. The Divine Axe of Profound Ice landed between Si Long and Li Qingshan. âElder sister Su invites the two of you into the palace.â
âIâm afraid fellow Li might not have the courage.â Si Long smiled, refusing to defy what that âelder sister Suâ wanted.
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. âI just happened to be wanting to see how the bride looks. After that, I can put in a good word, just in case she ends up with the wrong person.â
Bai Xiaoâe asked, âAnd what if the bride refuses to change her mind?â
âI might have to butcher the groom then.â
âAnd what if the bride refuses to let that happen?â
âThen Iâll have to kill them both so that they die a loversâ death!â
Anger flashed through Si Longâs eyes. If Li Qingshan said he wanted to kill him, he could laugh it off, but he could not allow anyone to threaten her.
Bai Xiaoâe blinked her eyes and glanced at Li Qingshan deeply. She suddenly said, âLi Qingshan, I swear to the heavens that if you succeed with that, Iâll pledge myself to you, to pay you back for saving my life back then!â
