The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 284 - Not Destined
"Hmm?" Run Kang was shocked silently.
He then studied Qing Shan with his senses but ignored him after learning that Qing Shan was only a late stage Harmonious Realm cultivator, after all, another step broke through to the realm of the Golden Realm and could be said to be the Semi Golden Realm.
Originally, his intention to release his pressure was to gain the admiration of Jin Zhu who was in the Semi Soul Realm.
However, he did not expect that Jin Zhu would not be able to hold back his aura and it was Qing Shan who looked fine under his intimidating pressure.
"Hehe! This little friend seems to be blessed by lady luck for having some sort of artifact that can withstand my pressure. Its alright. Since you are Wu shi's junior, I won't rob you.”
He arrogantly assumed that Qing Shan was relying on some sort of artifact to evade his pressure. Assuming that, he had never seen Qing Shan again. Instead, he turned towards Wu shi and began to reveal his attention to him.
“Wu Shi, your beauty never stops amazing me. Even though we hadn't met for a hundred years, your beauty still managed to captivate my heart. That year, I offered to give you a million spirit stones for your smile. However, you rejected my offer. Every time I think about it, I get disappointed. Could your heart be made of stone? After all, aky didn't think that we would meet again in this country. Maybe we are destined to meet again, what if..”.
“I am not destined to be with you ..” Cut Wu Shi while knitting his brows and distance himself from Run Kang, then approach the place where Qing Shan is.
He didn't like this guy's wild attitude. Her blatant display of pressure made her hate him even more. As for the exchange of his smile with a million spirit stones that happened a hundred years ago, it had turned into a story on the lips of everyone in the Southern continent. However, Wu Shi did not like that at that moment. Instead, his hatred for Run Kang grew deeper.
He now admired Qing Shan more than this Run Kang. It was because Qing Shan's heart and feelings were as deep as a bottomless puddle of water. And the most important thing he felt was that he and Qing Shan had something in common, namely the indomitable and unyielding attitude they had in their hearts. The things that Qing Shan maintained were even harder and heavier than his.
When they were still in the Yan Country, Wu Shi had stayed on the ship and asked about Qing Shan from every Yan State cultivator who passed by the ship every day.
They said that there was a newly appeared and mysterious Soul Realm Cultivator defeating the demonic woman of the Soul Realm. Wu Shi knew clearly that it was Qing Shan. He understood that Qing Shan did not like what fame anymore by using a pseudonym.
The Dragon Valley Ancestor Zhang En knew had also appeared in the Dragon Valley and defeated the seven Ancestors of the great sect of the Yan Country. Wu Shi knew that it was actually Qing Shan himself in disguise.
No matter how famous Qing Shan was with his disguise, he did not mind and always smiled as he recalled Qing Shan.
Qing Shan also won against the two Soul Realm cultivators from the Tropical World Palace envoys. The incident had caused quite a commotion among the Gold Realm cultivators in the Yan Country. When he heard the news as well, he was shocked and at the same time, felt sorry for Qing Shan. This was because Qing Shan's actual cultivation was only a late stage Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. Although Qing Shan had yet to form his Golden Core, he had always acted stubbornly like how he forced himself to fight against those Soul Realm cultivators.
When Qing Shan returned to the ship, Wu Shi only secretly played his flute for her and gave her a sweet smile.
“You are really stupid!” Wu Shi spoke inwardly.
He finally realized that Qing Shan was now leaving a deep impression in his heart. However, she was not prepared to tell Qing Shan about it because she knew that her emotional debt to Run Kang was too heavy. He felt that there was no point in giving Qing Shan an additional problem to deal with.
In the past, he would still start a conversation with him, considering him a straight path cultivator even though he hated him. Right now, he thought that his actions used to be ridiculous.
In the eyes of Wu Shi right now, this Run Kang was nothing compared to Qing Shan, even if he was the famous envoy of this Tropical World Palace.
Right now, Wu Shi was carrying out an action that shocked Qing Shan and simultaneously provoked Run Kang. He gently held Qing Shan's hand and looked at her, giving her a beautiful smile.
That smile was extremely rare as if spending all of his happiness for six hundred years cultivating to put it on his face.
While the Gold Realm Experts who were spying on their ship from earlier using their spirit senses were instead captivated by that smile.
“Run Kang, we're not meant to be together. I was just destined to be with her.” Said Wu Shi.
There might not be another chance to meet each other in the future once they parted ways and entered the boundless ocean region. If he missed this opportunity to hold Qing Shan's hand this time, he would probably regret it later.
“Eh. Fellow Wu Shi, what are you doing? You very clearly want to add more trouble for me !" Qing Shan told him using telepathy. He actually thought that Wu Shi was only doing that so that Run Kang would not bother him more and more.
“You can call me Wu Shi only!”
"What?"
"It's okay. You were right all along. I am a troublesome woman. However, I will not change my attitude and true self and will not change.”
"It's okay. I owe you something first. All right, then let me help you deal with this annoying fellow. Fortunately he is one of the emissaries of this Tropical World Palace of ours. With the World Law, he has no right to hurt me because of his personal problems. However, he might make it difficult for me during our journey into Tang Country after this.”
Qing Shan smiled bitterly and gently shook his head. She was not afraid of Run Kang but she had to be always vigilant. From the bottom of his heart, he was also unwilling to see this Run Kang harass Wu shi.
Respectfully, he turned towards the already angry Run Kang and said, “Kan Cultivator Run Kang, Wu Shi is my friend. It's true he wasn't meant to be your soul mate. Since you are the envoy of this World Palace, you must not continue to bother him, right?”
"Friends?!"
Run Kang's eyes glared at the two of them holding hands and gritted their teeth furiously.
His gaze then stopped on Qing Shan with ferocious hostility. But he immediately changed his expression with a calm gaze, hiding his hostility towards Qing Shan. Although he had a wild attitude, his wildness was only due to the divine ability of his divine intent. His state of mind was still at the level of the Soul Realm realm, and was not easily agitated and disturbed.
