The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 200

Chapter 200 One Year

After those messengers retreated, City Lord Su no longer had the tough attitude he had earlier. His expression was a little worried, “This time, I have completely offended the power of Xin’an City. What if they take revenge on our Jiangyuan City after they return?”

Li Qing comforted him, “There’s no need to worry. The elders of Xin’an City have tested my strength just now. An existence at the fifth level of the Xiantian realm won’t kill me unless it’s an old man at the sixth level of the Xiantian realm. However, those old men of the Lu Clan are in seclusion, so it’s impossible for them to deliberately kill me for this matter.”

“That’s right. As long as they aren’t confident that they can kill you, they won’t make a move easily.” City Lord Su couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

…

Facts have long proven that peace is not achieved through grievances, but through strength!

With his tyrannical strength, Li Qing had won peace for Jiangyuan City.

Indeed, as Li Qing had said, the people of Xin’an City did not take revenge on Jiang Yuan City.

On the third day after the two messengers from Wanqing City and Baifu City returned, the two cities actually surrendered. They each sent over 20,000 spirit stones with a respectful attitude, not daring to be arrogant at all.

They were really scared by Li Qing. Although they had the support of this tree in Xin’an City, they still felt that it was unreliable.

After all, Xin’an City was quite far away from here, so it was really uncertain if it could protect them. Moreover, being cared about by such a powerful figure like Li Qing always made people feel uneasy. It was like an abyss. If they were not careful, they might lose their lives. It was better to spend money to buy peace.

Actually, they had a better relationship with the Lu Clan’s Clan Master in Xin’an City. They could only borrow the Lu Clan’s might to pretend to be a tiger. There was no guarantee that the Lu Clan would definitely save them.

Especially after Elder Lu Song made a test, he felt Li Qing’s tyrannical strength. His fleshly body was unparalleled, and it was extremely difficult to kill him. For the sake of the overall interests, he would definitely not easily attack Jiang Yuan City, so as to avoid future troubles.

Now that Wanqing City and Baifu City had paid 20,000 spirit stones, Jiang Yuan City would definitely not attack them again. Otherwise, it would be treacherous and would make the world shameless.

Although this was a bit humiliating, it was nothing compared to a small life. Of course, it was hard to say whether Wanqing City and Baifu City would secretly stumble or seek revenge on Jiangyuan City from the experts of Xin’an City.

In fact, since the two sides had already formed a grudge, it was unlikely that they would give up so easily. City-to-city wars usually lasted for many years. Perhaps after a few years, they would have another chance to rely on, and they might even come back.

Jiang Yuan City’s sudden acquisition of this wealth could be considered a pleasant surprise.

The Su Clan had never thought that they would be able to extort this amount of spirit stones. They had never expected that the two messengers would actually toast without taking any punishments. They dared to be so arrogant and put forward all sorts of demands. As a result, City Lord Su angrily retaliated. In the end, he actually succeeded in obtaining compensation.

Each family had 20,000 spirit stones, which added up to 40,000. This was definitely a great fortune. Even with the wealth of Wanqing City and Baifu City, it would not be easy to take it out.

This was an unexpected windfall. Under City Lord Su’s strong request, Li Qing also took away 20,000 spirit stones and divided half of them. After all, it was mainly due to his deterrence that he was able to succeed.

After such a long period of cooperation between Li Qing and the Su Clan, they could be considered to be mutually beneficial. Both sides had gained a lot.

Through the influence of the Su Family, Li Qing had obtained a large amount of wealth, and it was much more convenient to collect medicinal materials and other things. On the other hand, the Su Clan relied on Li Qing’s strength, and their power also expanded rapidly. Now that they had ruled three cities and dominated one side, it was only a matter of time before they rose to prominence.

…

This matter had finally come to an end. The days had entered a short period of peace, and nothing major had happened.

Ever since Young Master Baifu had learned the secret of the devil technique, Li Qing had long wanted to enter the Misty Forest to investigate and see if there were any fortuitous encounters inside. However, Su Jingxiang’s terminal illness had not been completely cured, and she needed his help. She could not leave for a moment, so this matter had dragged on.

It seemed that he had to cure Su Jingxiang’s terminal illness before he could leave this place and do what he wanted to do.

These were the fetters of the human world, binding the world tightly together like a large net, denying them freedom. But it was precisely because of these companionship that the world became even more exciting.

Because of the last rejection incident, the relationship between Li Qing and Su Jingxiang seemed to be a little rusty. The two of them were polite when communicating and didn’t dare to overstep it at all. It was as if their minds were focused on treatment and there was no longer the ambiguity of the past.

However, Su Jingxiang always wore alluring blasphemy clothes in the process of treatment and was exposed in front of Li Qing, which made him want to spit out blood and dry his mouth.

This girl’s blasphemy was obviously not like this in the past, and she was very conservative. Why had her style changed recently, becoming so sexy and attractive?

“Could it be that you want to seduce me?” He muttered to himself. However, when he looked up and saw her calm expression, he felt that he was thinking too much.

Time passed peacefully. Spring and autumn passed, and another year passed.

At this moment, in Li Qing’s room, the two of them were treating the lunar meridians.

After a period of time, Li Qing gently put down his hands and finished retracting his contribution. The treatment this time was finally over.

Li Qing took a long breath and looked at Su Jingxiang, her eyes unconsciously flashing with a trace of astonishment. After such a long period of treatment, she had recovered greatly. Her complexion was red and her expression was bright. She had actually become even more beautiful.

Coupled with her sexy and alluring blasphemy clothes, which gave off a charming charm, even Li Qing’s firm willpower could not help but feel his heart stirring.

He quickly concealed these strange emotions and said, “After a year of treatment, your situation has improved a lot. You have absorbed a large amount of lunar energy and your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Now, I think you should be able to absorb the lunar energy in your body on your own, right?”

At this moment, Su Jingxiang’s cultivation was already at the Houtian 7th layer. In just a year’s time, he had reached this level. His speed was incredibly fast. It had to be said that this was a miracle.

However, it was also because she had absorbed a large amount of lunar energy that she had achieved such results, which could be considered an understandable range.

Hearing Li Qing’s words, Su Jingxiang couldn’t help but be stunned. These past few days, she had become accustomed to being treated with Li Qing, cultivating together, improving together, and enjoying their time together.

Now that he suddenly heard these words, could it be that he wanted to end this relationship? This way, the two of them would no longer be able to cultivate together. This caused her to panic.

Her face gradually turned a little pale and she said pitifully, “Don’t tell me you hate me so much?”

Li Qing felt puzzled. Where was this going? Didn’t he just ask her if she could absorb lunar energy? Why did he become disgusted with her?

He said gently, “How could that be? Where did you want to go? Didn’t I just ask? It would be a great thing if you could cultivate on your own.”

“If I were able to absorb lunar energy on my own, would you still be cultivating with me?”

Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said, “Uh… Well, I don’t want this anymore. It’s not convenient.”

Su Jingxiang looked a little unhappy. “You clearly hate me. It’s good for both of us to cultivate together. I can absorb Lunar Qi faster, while you can temper your own True Essence and speed up your cultivation. Isn’t that not good?”

“However, it’s still not convenient for a woman who is innocent and innocent to not be married to a man or a woman…”

Su Jingxiang said righteously, “Where’s the inconvenience? This is treating the illness! Doctor Renxin, don’t think that you’ve seen my body naked, as if there’s something wrong, don’t think wrong.”

Li Qing was somewhat speechless. Instead, he thought wrong. He could only helplessly say, “But … I still have my own things to do. If I want to go out and train, I can’t stay in the Su Clan forever, right? For example, I plan to explore the depths of the Misty Forest recently.”

Su Jingxiang rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, so you want to go out. If you had said it earlier, there would be no problem.”

Li Qing couldn’t help but be delighted, “Then you agreed? Since that’s the case, you can cultivate alone in the future.”

When Su saw Li Qing’s expression, she immediately became angry and said unhappily, “No way! What I meant just now is that you can go out and do your own things. It’s fine to go anywhere to train. However, you still have to cultivate with me when you come back.”

After saying that, he directly stood up. Regardless of whether Li Qing agreed or not, he immediately put on his clothes and ran away.

Li Qing was left standing there in a daze, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

No matter how stupid he was, he could still feel that Su Jingxiang still had thoughts of him and wanted to fight for all kinds of opportunities to stay by his side. However, she did not directly express it. She just silently waited. Even if she wanted to refuse, she could not talk about it. After all, the other party hadn’t said anything, so if he hurriedly rejected it, it would be a bit suspicious of being self-absorbed.

This kind of love of hers seemed to moisten things silently, permeate people’s hearts, and was hard to refuse.

After Su Jingxiang came out, her originally angry appearance immediately disappeared. In exchange, she had a face full of red clouds and whispered, “If you want to get rid of me so easily, there is no door. I will always pester you and use love to influence you. However, wouldn’t my performance just now be a bit too eager to let him see anything strange?”

When she thought of this, she felt extremely embarrassed. She covered her face with both hands and laughed from time to time. She did not know what she was thinking.
