Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 529

Chapter 516B – To Wear the Crown, One Must Bear Its Weight

The Shi Family brother and sister were also on the third floor. But, they were just a bit further away so Qin Yu didn’t take notice of them.

“Little sister, let’s go over and test our luck. Perhaps we might have a chance!” Shi Zichi clenched his teeth, “If we just wait like this, we’ll end up waiting and waiting and doing nothing until we die!”

Shi Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat. She had been overly cautious and indecisive before, worried about the gains and losses, but she never thought that their Shi Family would be forced into such a hopeless situation. If they didn’t try to find a solution to save themselves, their family would really end up decimated. At this moment, they had to try anything they could. She took a deep breath and nodded, “Big brother is right. We really cannot wait any longer!”

Shi Zichi stood up. “Let’s go over!”

The two people began to walk over. But, coincidentally, before they got there, two other people had already arrived near the open lake windows. They were also a man and a woman.

A trace of chagrin appeared in Shi Qingqing’s eyes. This person Yao Bin was secretive in his movements like a divine dragon that only revealed his tail. If they weren’t able to speak with him today, she had no idea when they would next see him. And, what the Shi Family lacked the most now was time. She blamed herself for being too indecisive just now, otherwise how could her opportunity be seized first by others?

Shi Zichi paled. He took a wide step, wanting to go over. The bitter experiences he suffered in these last two days had caused a fire to simmer in the heart of the arrogant young master.

Suddenly, the woman up ahead turned around. Shi Zichi’s eyes dulled and he began to drool.

In his eyes, this woman’s face was blurry and hazy. But, there was an unexplainable beauty there, as if she were the most perfect woman he could ever come up with in his fantasies.

Her eyes seemed filled with warmth and affection. His breaths began to deepen as his heartbeat quickened.

“Big brother!” Shi Qingqing was shocked. She watched as her big brother started to sweat profusely and his breathing became ragged. He had an expression as if he had lost himself in ecstasy. She hurriedly pulled at him, but her efforts weren’t able to awaken him. Too busy to care about face, she took a cup of cold tea from a nearby table and splashed it on his face.

The red-faced Young Master Shi suddenly sobered up. He looked at the worry on his little sister’s face and the teacup in her hands that she hadn’t yet set down. A cold chill surged up from his heart and his knees suddenly weakened. His body wavered and he barely managed to keep himself standing.

Shi Qingqing asked, “Big brother, what is wrong with you?”

There was a hidden fear in Shi Zichi’s eyes. He glanced at the two people in front of him and said, “I’m fine, let’s return to our room first.” His voice was unexpectedly hoarse and rasping.

“Alright.” Shi Qingqing wasn’t an idiot. She also sensed that something strange was going on. She quickly summoned her family’s juniors and they supported Shi Zichi by his arms and left.

Qin Yu looked at the handsome man sitting across from him. His elegance was without compare and he looked calm and carefree. He seemed around 30 years of age, and his eyes were warm and insightful, containing endless vicissitudes of the years.

At his side was a beautiful woman emitting a mature atmosphere. Her waist was thin, her h.i.p.s were wide, and her curves were enthralling. She was like a thoroughly ripe peach about to drip water with a single touch.

The man was handsome and carefree and the woman was beautiful and charming; no matter how one saw it, they looked like a husband and wife that anyone would envy. But right now, Qin Yu felt nothing but nervousness.

No, to be more accurate, this was extreme nervousness!

Whether it was the purple moon or Cosmic Seacross Bell, they both entrusted Qin Yu with an extremely sharp sensory ability. Moreover, since he had activated a part of the Great Dao Body, he could almost directly ‘see’ the invisible rules between the heavens and earth.

This man and woman across from him seemed ordinary, but in Qin Yu’s eyes, the rules distorted all around their bodies, forming chaos. It was like they were walking black holes.

Qin Yu didn’t doubt that whether it was the man or woman, either of them had the strength to easily crush him to nothing with overwhelming power.

Calamity Immortal realm!

But in Heavenly Demon City, with the current situation happening, the only Calamity Immortals that would dare make such a blatant appearance must be super powerhouses of the Demonic Path.

Had his actions in the small world been exposed somehow?

But if he had been exposed, Qin Yu didn’t believe they would wait three days before coming for him. Because the temptation of the demon blood crystal was something that not even Calamity Immortals could resist!

Qin Yu forcefully maintained his composure and pushed his acting skill to its limit. He gently furrowed his eyebrows as if he were a little confused and then asked with a bit of hesitation, “Is there something I can help you with?”

The white-clothed man had a light expression. He smiled and said, “Just a chance meeting of fate. How about inviting us to drink some wine?”

Qin Yu suddenly said, “You two must have smelled the fragrance of the wine. This snowflower wine indeed has a wonderful flavor and fragrance to it. I just happened to be feeling lonely drinking by myself, so you two came just in time.”

Qin Yu lifted a hand. Duan San’er, who had already noticed what was happening here, immediately came running over. He asked, “My lord, is there anything you need?”

Qin Yu said, “Bring me two settings.”

Everything was soon brought over. Qin Yu personally filled the wine cups for the two. He smiled and said, “Please.”

Duan San’er fell back to the side. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Who were these two that they had such great airs around them?

He regarded Qin Yu as the eminent one who would change his destiny. This was what Duan San’er instinctively felt, so he naturally didn’t hope that Qin Yu would suffer any losses.

Even if this was just a minor matter…but…that woman was really beautiful…just one glance and he almost became shamefully hard…

The white-robed man lifted a cup of wine. He had a sniff and said, “Not bad.” He took a sip and closed his eyes a little as if mulling over the aftertaste.

The woman by his side suddenly said, “Yao Bin, just how much are you concealing over what happened in the small world?”

Qin Yu’s complexion changed. He said in a low voice, “Just who are you two?”

The woman’s voice was light, “You only need to answer.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath and his face darkened, as if he would erupt at any moment.

At this moment, the white-robed man opened his eyes. “We are just asking out of curiosity. If little friend isn’t willing to reply, there is no need to.”

Qin Yu’s complexion was cloudy and uncertain. After several breaths of time, he sighed and said, “It’s fine. Since I have the intention of joining the Demonic Path, even if I don’t say anything now, can I keep evading forever?” He directly faced the two people and said, “Yes, I was concealing some things, but everyone has secrets they don’t want others to know of. I already explained all the essential matters that occurred.”

The white-robed man smiled and placed the wine cup back down on the table. With a light ‘pa’ sound, Qin Yu felt his entire surrounding world shake. His heart began to beat out of control, forcing blood to flow through his body and race at a high speed, thundering through his veins.

Across from him, the white-robed man’s eyes brightened briefly before he returned to normal. He looked at Qin Yu and said, “Because of the severe casualties due to the accident within the small world, the Demonic Path has decided to accept all the cultivators who managed to survive. So, congratulations little friend, you will soon achieve your wish and become a part of the Demonic Path.”

He stood up and walked away.

The beautiful woman whose entire body was wreathed in an air of seduction glanced at Qin Yu, as if a bit surprised. Then, she followed behind the white-robed man.

It was only when they went downstairs that Qin Yu regained his composure. His body gradually returned to his control and his heartbeat restored to normal.

He stood up and took several steps across the floor. He looked down, but could no longer see the figures of the man and woman.

The uncertainty on Qin Yu’s face didn’t fade. He muttered, “Just who are you?”

The white-robed Lord Demon Envoy had a calm demeanor as he slowly walked along the side of Cleardawn Lake. There were many people on the road, but not a single person saw him, much less touched him. Before they came within a certain distance, they were shoved away. And what was eerily strange was that from beginning to end, no one realized this.

Yan Liu followed behind him. She would often look up at his back, warmth and affection in her gaze. There was none of the dignified bearing that belonged to a Calamity Immortal.

Finally, the Lord Demon Envoy came to a stop. He looked at Cleardawn Lake in front of him, his eyes clear and without any waves.

Yan Liu lifted the hair from her forehead, “You seem to value that young man very much?”

The Demon Envoy said, “He has the qualifications for me to place him in high regards.”

Yan Liu curled her lips. “His strength is one matter, but he’s actually a slippery little fellow.”

The Demon Envoy said, “Today, if it were anyone else, I fear they could only pretend that they don’t know of our status.” He paused and then continued to say, “To have a brain is better than not having a brain. At least it will help him live longer in this dangerous world.”

Yan Liu’s pupils sparkled. “You really do favor him?”

The Demon Envoy shook his head, “I am just suspicious.” His eyes suddenly turned sharp, “For so many years, this junior didn’t have any fame that spread out. Suddenly, he emerged in the world, becoming one of the Demonic Path’s proud sons of heaven. In this world, how could there be so many Zhao Qianyuans? So in this matter, I have no choice but to suspect him.”

Yan Liu revealed a thoughtful look. “Are you saying that Yao Bin might be related to what happened in the small world?”

The Demon Envoy took a step forward. “There is no evidence. This is only my guess. But I will suppress him for a period of time. If there is a problem he will naturally expose himself. If there isn’t, he can regard this as a form of tempering. I will compensate him in the future and that will be it.”

His back was towards Yan Liu and he evaded her look. A trace of guilt appeared in the Demon Envoy’s eyes. In truth, he wasn’t someone that was skilled in lying. This was especially so when it came to deceiving this woman who had deeply loved him for so many years.

But in this matter, he could not allow any mistakes to occur. He had to be sufficiently careful.

As the Demon Envoy whose status was respected by the Holy Palace, he led the True Demon Guards to Heavenly Demon City, arousing the interest of all factions. Every single one of his actions and movements could be explained thus far.

But at this moment, besides feeling some guilt, he felt even more joy. In fact, he had to use a great deal of effort to maintain his composure at this moment. This was because after waiting countless years, this day had finally arrived. He would secretly hide his thoughts and pay attention to his growth, until one day he had enough to bear.

This was because if one wished to wear the crown, they had to bear its weight!
