Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 1298 - A Promise of Millennia, the Fox of Yousu

Chapter 1298 - A Promise of Millennia, the Fox of Yousu

“What a tasteless name!” Li Qingshan said in contempt.

It was a pity that the s.p.a.ce-devouring beast was fiercely suppressed by the laws of the world as soon as it entered the Dragon province, or why would he have to take these s.h.i.+tty s.h.i.+ps seriously at all?

A hawk’s cry pierced through the air. The hawk spread its wings and circled around the mountains, its sharp eyes staring at the cauldron for stewing meat. Despite being on bad terms with the Heavenly Frost Wolf King, he could not help but feel some sympathy. He let out another long cry.

Li Qingshan raised his head and let out a roar filled with great vigour. The chilling aura drowned out the hawk’s cry and enveloped the incoming fleet of s.h.i.+ps.

The court of officials and generals that had accompanied Si Long here on the Sovereign Dragon King all became stern when they heard this roar. They had witnessed his powers a long time ago back on Dragonshead mountain. Now, the religious preceptor of the left and the others’ deaths had added to his infamy, enough to make them shake in fear.

Si Long gazed down at the boundless land and met the scarlet eyes that scorched like fire. Their gazes clashed violently in the air. He smiled and looked back. “My officials, just you watch how I capture and kill this wretched being today!”

He took note of the officials’ expressions and behaviour. After all, this was only a medium-sized world. There were many talents, but it was unavoidable for them to suffer from natural limitations. However, he had never planned on relying on them today in the first place. Once he returned to the Human realm, he would treat them as his most important followers, so he obviously had to demonstrate the bearing worthy of a wise lord right now.

The religious preceptor of the right stood forward and bowed. “May the sovereign succeed in this battle and claim this wretched being’s head to offer up to the heavens!”

The officials all said, “May the sovereign succeed in this battle and claim this wretched being’s head to offer up to the heavens!”

Si Long smiled even wider. “Today is a day of great joy for me, so there’s no need to be so murderous. If he’s willing to become my mount and pay for all the sins he’s committed, it’s not impossible that I’ll let him live. Let’s see how he chooses!”

“Benevolent be our sovereign. However, the wretched daemon is mad and unruly. I’m afraid he cannot be tamed that easily.”

“Then I’ll have to deal with him swiftly and forcefully.”

As he spoke lightly, the terrifying, insufferably arrogant Daemon King seemed to be completely at his whim already, such that he could execute him with ease.

These words rang out clearly. Anger flashed through Li Fengyuan’s eyes. This d.a.m.ned Si Long actually wants first father to become his mount! He’s getting too ahead of himself!

Gu Yanying leaned against her hand and gazed at the hawk soaring through the sky. Her mind seemed to have drifted off to a distant place already.

Rāhu Xiaoming was unfazed. He rubbed his belly and let out a belch.

Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed like a great statue, even more like a great flag. The smile on his face was cold and sharp.

The fleet rushed through the sea of clouds and sailed over. The sun rose up in the east as the west snowed. The resplendent sunlight dyed the snowflakes a golden-yellow, like gold leaf being scattered through the air. It was magnificent, making the Jade palace seem a little more dreamy.

The fleet finally stopped mid-air. With the officials behind him, Si Long disembarked from the Sovereign Dragon King, arriving in front of the Jade palace on foot. Even without those unnecessary and overelaborate formalities, he seemed extremely sincere and respectful. A smile stretched across his face as if he had already forgotten about Li Qingshan, completely submerged in the joys of the grand wedding.

A fragrance almost indiscernible lingered in the surroundings. He made his way up the steps, knocking on the white jade gates.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Even with his composure, he felt a little excited at this moment. Her beautiful figure had appeared countless times in his dreams. There, her appearance constantly changed, just like the myriad flowers that bloomed and wilted on the umbrella. It made him wonder if he had ever seen a woman like that in the first place. He thought inside, Mirao, I’ve returned!

Even if it were not for the sake of refining the nine provinces, he definitely would have returned, all for that promise.

……

“You want me to become your empress? But you’re clearly not an emperor yet. It doesn’t count if you call yourself one.”

The umbrella twirled away. The surprise on the woman’s face seemed both fake and real, while the mocking smile on her lips seemed to be both existent and non-existent.

“I swear I will definitely become a true emperor so that you can become a true empress!”

The man was solemn with a heart filled with affection. As the paramount ruler of the world, he was confessing to the G.o.ddess in his heart at this very moment like a mortal, promising her a fine life ahead.

“Why me? Don’t you have a lot of women? Such as that Bai Xiao’e. She must want to be your empress. She wants that so much that she’s basically going to eat me.”

The woman licked her lips, which made her seem even more gorgeous and tender, vaguely revealing her snowy-white fangs.

“Mirao, in my heart, even if you put all the women in the world together, they don’t even come close to a single hair of yours. As long as you agree, I will only belong to you.”

The man’s heart throbbed, taking a step forward and wanting to grab the woman’s sleeve. The umbrella blocked him.

“Sigh, but when you ascend, you’re going to the Human realm, while I’m going to the Daemonic Beast realm. How can we still be husband and wife?”

The woman sighed, furrowing her brows gently.

The man only felt like his heart was about to shatter. He was tempted to pull her into his arms and spend the rest of his life comforting her. He said loudly, “I can take you to the Human realm!”

“Then I might cause you a great deal of trouble.” The woman’s smile became a little wry. “My race is always like that.”

The man became gloomy. In this world, he was already the paramount ruler, but in the Human realm, he was nothing. Possessing an object of desire would always lead to problems. Taking her as his wife was basically like a child visiting the markets while carrying gold on him.

Many G.o.ds had perished because of her race in the past, and he believed the woman who he loved was even more beautiful than those women of the legends.

“You’re right. My strength is nowhere near enough, but I definitely won’t give up! Once I go to the Human realm, gain even greater strength, and come up with even better ideas, I will return for you. A- are you willing to wait in this world for me?”

The man hesitated. He also found his request to be a little too much. She was far more talented than him, so how could she remain in a world like this for so long?

“I refuse!”

The woman declined without hesitation.

“Yeah, I’ve been getting far too ahead of myself. Why would I, Si Long, deserve…”

The man was devastated. He smiled miserably and drooped his head, struggling to accept this.

“But I will wait.”

The woman raised her head. There was some powerlessness, but there was even more determination.

“R- really?”

The man felt like he had just been lifted from h.e.l.l into heaven, staring at her in disbelief. He could no longer hold back his feelings any longer, going up to embrace her.

The woman pressed against his forehead with her index finger and smiled gently. “You lecher, watch your manners. I’m not your wife.”

“In my heart, you already are.”

……

The sounds from the gates opening pulled Si Long back from his memories. Gazing at the beautiful, white figure behind the door, his smile stiffened slightly.

On the distant mountain, Li Qingshan stared at the palace gate with all of his attention too, temporarily setting aside his grievances with Si Long, antic.i.p.ating the appearance of this greatest beauty of the world.

He murmured inside, Dammit! b.a.s.t.a.r.d, move over!

Rāhu Xiaoming said in thought, “The Kingdom of Green Hills has three great clans, which are the Tushan clan, the Chunhu clan, and the Yousu clan. I wonder which clan the Nine-tailed Fox Empress is from.”

Gu Yanying said, “She should be from the Yousu clan. I heard her surname is Su, Su Mirao.”

“Then we’re really in trouble. Qingshan, you better just forget about that!”

“What’s wrong?”

“The three clans each have their merits. The Tushan clan is able, virtuous, and understanding, making a fine wife. The Chunhu clan is extremely clever, skilled in illusions and unpredictable. They both make fine partners. Only the Yousu clan is cunning and treacherous, most skilled in bewitchment. They’ve produced many women who are only too anxious to see the world be thrown into disorder, often causing great problems for people. The infamy of nine-tailed foxes was primarily earned by them. Even I would not want to become involved with them.”
