Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

Warmth spread through her hand. Qian Rongzhi saw holy, golden light rise up from Xiao An. Then, the light spread through her body along her hands, enveloping her completely in the golden light.

Her wounds gradually healed, and subsequently, the vicious, uneven scars were erased bit by bit. This was not the effects of buddhist techniques. Instead, it originated from the power of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. Her appearance seemed to become even more charming than before.

Xiao An let go and receded to Li Qingshan’s side. Qian Rongzhi said gently, “Thank you.” She asked Li Qingshan, “Do you have water?”

With a snap of his fingers, a swirl of water wrapped around her body, washing away the filth and rags on her before vanishing as steam. It revealed her pale body and beautiful proportions, completely naked.

Li Qingshan had always been a person with very strong desires, but standing before this woman, his mind would always be as calm as water. It was no different right now. He could not even be bothered with shifting his gaze.

Qian Rongzhi was no different. She picked up her hundred treasures pouch and took out a dress, putting it on. She moved her arms and extended her legs in the process in a natural manner. She was neither trying to seduce him nor avoid him.

It was as if he did not treat her as a woman, and she did not treat him as a man.

Li Qingshan said, “Looks like you’ve suffered quite a lot.”

“Do you want to know?” Qian Rongzhi had already put on the dress. She was straightening out her hair before a mirror.

“Let’s hear it.” Li Qingshan was rather curious.

As a result, Qian Rongzhi told him what she went through casually. She said it so easily that it sounded like she was telling a story about someone else.

Even Li Qingshan shivered inside after hearing it all. He asked, “How do you plan on dealing with this gu?”

Qian Rongzhi said, “There’s nothing I can do about it, nor is there any need for me to do anything about it. As long as I let go of my shamelessness and hatred, it’ll naturally stop torturing me.”

The Venomous Snake hell had always been for punishing those who ran amok due to a lack of shame, those who sinned endlessly due to hatred. However, punishment was not its purpose. Instead, its compassionate purpose was to get the sinner to come to their senses and realise the sins they had committed so that they could attain redemption and salvation.

Li Qingshan mockingly asked, “Can you achieve that?”

Qian Rongzhi smiled in response. “Of course not. I won’t feel shame for anything. I hate everyone in the world!”

The venomous snake swam around happily, and she suddenly collapsed on her knees, digging her fingers deeply into the earth. Her smile became twisted due to the pain, but it also became more resplendent. Even if she sank into endless suffering within Avīci, she would never repent or mend her ways.

TL: Avīci is the lowest level of hell, where suffering is the greatest. It’s also what the late Swedish DJ Avicii named himself after.

PS: Shamelessly begging for monthly votes is like falling into the Venomous Snake hell, but even if I have to fall into the Venomous Snake hell, I’ll still beg to my heart’s content!





Chapter 354: No Title | Legend of the Great Sage




Looking at her like this, killing intent surged within Li Qingshan for some reason. She had already recovered her wounds, turning back into that pretty Qian Rongzhi, but she felt even more inhumane than the “monster” he saw earlier. He asked nonchalantly, “Does that include me too?”

Qian Rongzhi asked, “Are you a person?”

Li Qingshan was slightly aback. He sneered disdainfully, “As long as I can live to my heart’s content, does it matter if I’m a person or not? I didn’t want to get my nose in your business, but Xiao An divined that there was a chance for you to survive, which was why I paid a visit here.”

Qian Rongzhi glanced at Xiao An deeply. Xiao An remained composed the entire time, just like she was usually. She was expressionless.

Qian Rongzhi smiled, “Keep the items I had you to hold onto. You can treat it as a gift of gratitude.”

Li Qingshan took off on a cloud, returning to Clear River city with his “mission item”.

When Qian Rongzhi appeared before Han Qiongzhi in one piece, even Han Qiongzhi became surprised. After learning about her encounter with the White Lotus Mother and spending all that time tending to her heavy injuries in the forest, Han Qiongzhi smiled. “You have quite the luck. So much for my worries for you.” Even Han Qiongzhi had no idea about the role Qian Rongzhi had played in the mission to trap the White Lotus cult last time.

“Thank you for your concern, second senior sister,” Qian Rongzhi replied politely. Though, did she really have good luck?

Maybe she did. After receiving treatment from Xiao An, the benefits of the venomous snake of hell gradually presented itself. After the pain, her thoughts would always become especially clear. Her body and soul seemed to go through a few changes too.

Qian Rongzhi’s return caused quite a disturbance within the Hawkwolf Guard. Despite her usual manner of taking advantage of everything within her reach, she turned down Han Qiongzhi’s banquet for welcoming her back.

During those three months, she seemed to have established a slight connection with the venomous snake that burdened her. She gained a slight control over the time of the “punishment”, but she needed even more time before she could merge with it properly. The path of the future was within her grasps once more.

Returning to her residence alone, a familiar figure stood at the entrance. Qian Rongzhi said in surprise, “Little Tian, what brings you here?”

Chu Tian said with great concern, “I heard you returned. Where have you been all this time? I was very worried for you. There were many times when I wanted to search for you.”

Unfortunately, he never tried searching for her, not even once. Qian Rongzhi was not surprised by this at all. It was not because he was insincere towards her. She still held great confidence in her ability to manipulate and influence people. It was just that to certain people, nothing was more precious than their own lives.

As Chu Tian extended his hand over, her eyes lit up. If she held the hand right now, he would probably end up dropping to his knees, begging her to spare him, no matter how much of a genius he was. She would be able to find out about anything he was hiding, including any trump cards he possessed.

However, she hesitated before pulling her hand back in the end. Chu Tian was a genius that many people kept an eye out for. If he died mysteriously, the entire academy would definitely be shaken up. At a time like this, it would be much better for her to avoid causing any incidents. He had already become hers anyway.

She suddenly felt delight inside. She was still a sixth layer Qi Practitioner, but she now possessed a pair of fatal, venomous fangs that could harm these so-called geniuses.

Chu Tian was disappointed, but he felt ashamed too, so he just remained silent. When he heard how it was Li Qingshan who brought her back, he felt even more depressed inside. Why was that guy everywhere?

When Qian Rongzhi “accidentally” mentioned she had lost her hundred treasures pouch during the mission and was worried about her future cultivation, Chu Tian immediately gave her many pills and spiritual pills with great generosity.

Qian Rongzhi tried to decline the offer before accepting it in the end. “Thank you, little Tian. I will return all of this to you.”

Chu Tian stared at her face in fascination. He felt like no one was more charming and enchanting than her.
