“If you want to kill me, then I’ll blow up my daemon core and take you down with me!”
Lolth suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Li Qingshan. To his surprise, there was no longer any hatred or resentment, only suffocating coldness and stillness.
Her voice was feeble, even slightly hoarse, but Li Qingshan instead became afraid to dismiss this threat of hers. He felt extremely surprised inside. He discovered that she had become slightly different from the Spider Queen Lolth in his memory.
Actually, Lolth was not playing dead. She was not naive enough to think she could fool Li Qingshan like this. Instead, she was tasting the lingering feeling of what she had just gone through, tidying her thoughts.
This entire matter had obviously utterly disgraced her, but she did not find disgrace in the matter itself. She had no concept of being defiled. It had nothing to do with love. Reproducing was the most ordinary matter in the natural world.
She felt disgraced because someone weaker than her had conquered her. If Li Qingshan were a Daemon King, she would not put on any resistance at all, as in the natural world, the strong obviously had the right to choose their partner.
The issue was that Li Qingshan was merely a Daemon General and her subordinate at that. He had gone against her and insulted her despite being nowhere near as powerful as her. Naturally, she was furious and completely refused to accept this.
Li Qingshan would have never thought that he had actually guessed correctly.
Although it was humiliating, Lolth did indeed experience unprecedented pleasure. The extreme pleasure that came from pain and powerlessness reawakened a certain part in her heart that had become numb from her easy and comfortable life.
She seemed to have returned to the past when she was still a spider. Hunger and danger were everywhere, and she had to abuse and slaughter every single day, or she would be abused and slaughtered by cruel nature instead.
The heavy darkness was no longer filled with emptiness and boredom. She had found the meaning of cultivation once more.
If Li Qingshan found out about how great of a significance his actions were to her, he would definitely be filled with complacence. Perhaps he really might hope he could conquer the proud Spider Queen.
Unfortunately, he had guessed the start incorrectly, but he was right with the end result.
Lolth was prepared to carry out a hunt, not for revenge, but to carry through with the instincts nature had endowed her with.
“How can I bring myself to? You’re the mother of my child!”
Li Qingshan let out a toothy grin as if he was backing down and afraid she would actually do that.
As a daemon who had spent her life fighting for survival the moment she was born, her will to survive was deeply embedded in her instincts. This was why even if she voiced a threat again during intercourse earlier, he did not take her seriously. However, once her life was being threatened, he would never underestimate her resolve.
A Daemon Commander blowing up their daemon core was not something to joke around about.
This was still due to the fact that Li Qingshan’s strength was insufficient. If he were a Daemon Commander too, he would have great confidence in staying alive, and Lolth would not be able to threaten him like this. As a result, forcing her to submit in order to survive would not necessarily be impossible.
However, the killing intent in Li Qingshan’s heart instead intensified. His hand slid down her face, grabbing her by her beautiful neck that was as slender as a swan’s.
I think she’ll turn into quite the trouble. Killing her before she blows up her daemon core is probably impossible, but if I use up the remaining seventy percent of my power of belief, I should have a chance at surviving considering the toughness of my body.
As if a thick layer of dust had been wiped away, the Spider Queen became extremely sensitive to danger. Her body immediately tensed up, and the daemon core in her body was on the verge of exploding.
This was an icy stalemate that appeared every day in the natural world. When a lion hunted a buffalo, it also had to worry about whether the buffalo's horns would kill it.
Should I feign submission for now? No, once I show any weakness, it’ll only consolidate his determination.
The natural world was filled with disguises and bluffs, but there was no such thing as feigning respect and sincerity. The weak would definitely be destroyed.
Chapter 493: Where the Dream Lies | Legend of the Great Sage
During the oppressive stalemate, spiritual qi of the world surged into Lolth’s body violently. As her daemon qi recovered, her physical strength slowly recovered as well.
Li Qingshan’s opportunity to kill her slipped by bit by bit.
Finally, Li Qingshan took action. He drew back his hand slowly.
Was he going to spare her, or was this the premonition of an attack?
Lolth dared not be careless, afraid that he was trying to toy around with her.
Li Qingshan had already made up his mind inside.
I even spared Fu Qingjin, yet I’m afraid of revenge from her? Yes, when a Daemon Commander loses her mind, she won’t be something that can be compared to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who overly relies on his sword. Oh, so I’m supposed to spare those who pose a smaller threat and kill those who pose a larger threat? Isn’t that just posing around, bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Against someone like Fu Qingjin, even if they fought for another century, he would have never broken through to the fourth layer. The path leading to beyond the Nine Heavens would definitely be filled with twists and hardships. He could clearly imagine the horrific wounds on brother ox as if they were right before his eyes.
Compared to the enemies he would face in the future, Lolth was absolutely nothing. I’ll just keep this little spider as a stepping stone for my advance!
However, Li Qingshan was reluctant to let Lolth off so easily. He sat down to the side and crossed his legs, smiling. “I know you refuse to accept this and think I won unconventionally. That’s not exactly wrong. However, victory is victory and defeat is defeat. I’ve won this battle. Will you admit that?”
“I admit that,” Lolth said coldly. This had always been the most basic principle of the natural world. Fairness and justice meant nothing. There was only a boundary between life or death.
“From today onwards, I no longer listen to your command. I possess the right to rule over half of the underground territory. The daemons will go to you, while the night roamers will go to me. That’ll be my spoils of this battle. What do you think?”
“That’ll work. However, not half, but all of it. From now onwards, your command is my command. You are welcome to enter my chambers as you please. In human terms, you are my husband.”
Lolth said calmly before even revealing a chilling, enchanting smile at the end.
“You’re planning to kill your husband!” Li Qingshan laughed aloud, revealing what she was thinking in a single sentence.
The thing that Lolth feared the most was Li Qingshan taking off after finishing up with this. With his ability to hide his aura, she really would not be able to find him, and with his powers, it would be very easy for him even if he wanted to go to another province. As a result, she cast out bait in an attempt to make him remain in this territory.
She believed that as long as they fought again, she would definitely be able to kill him. As a matter of fact, she had already become rather eager for that now. In a short while, she had already recovered a lot of her daemon qi.
“I’d advise you to only challenge me again when you have absolute confidence. Next time, I might not necessarily be so generous, mother of my child!” Li Qingshan smiled as he held Lolth by her chin, shaking her head around.
