Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

Li Qingshan turned around and smiled. “So you’re a dog then!”


“How dare you call me a dog!?” Xianghua Lu was taken aback before flying into a rage to pull him by the ear. Li Qingshan caught her casually, and Xianghua Lu put up a slight struggle before completely giving up and letting him drag her along. She only pouted and swore, but there was not a lot of anger on her slightly-red face.

Li Qingshan only treated it as a small, pleasant distraction. Actually, during the past few days, he did not really go out of his way to provoke Xianghua Lu, as he was worried about Ru Xin. However, the girl had come at him time and time again, so he treated it all as a diversion from his thoughts.

Countless hostile gazes shot over from the surroundings. If it were not for the sake of the envoy at the front, probably a lot of the younger people would have jumped in involuntarily and tried to play the hero already. The older shamans shook their heads. The girl was clearly interested in the pretty kid, or why would she not be able to break free with her strength? After all, she could be regarded as a proper shaman.

Cold light flashed through the envoy’s eyes. Did this overconfident kid really think he could touch his meal just because he had some talent?

“Kid, you’re called Goldie A’yue, right? Did Bone Eating barbarians eat your parents? I wonder whether they ate the hands or the legs first,” a young shaman smeared with colours said maliciously.

Li Qingshan thought about that question and spat out two words, “Piss off.”

The young shaman’s face changed drastically. He drew his blade with a swish. “What did you say?”

“Right now.”

“Oi, aren’t you just trying to make trouble? What’s the death of A’yue’s parents got to do with you?” Xianghua Lu frowned.

“Hiding behind a woman! What a coward!” The young shaman spat viciously and turned around, making his way to the front of the ground. He sensed how the envoy was right beside him, and his anger vanished. He whispered, “Sir, I’ve already gotten to the bottom of this. Goldie fort does have a person by the name of Goldie A’yue, but his age is completely off. I tried to talk to him a few times, but he completely ignored me. When I try to aggravate him, he says nothing either. There’s something completely off with this kid’s origins!”

“We’ll deal with him tonight!”

Li Qingshan blinked his eyes. He had anticipated a long time ago that he would run into some trouble during this journey, but these troubles did not seem to come from these barbarians. That was what the senses of the spirit turtle told him.

The sun fell and the moon rose, and so did the campfire blazing away.

After travelling through the rainforest for an entire day, the shamans could still hold on, but the children had become utterly exhausted a long time ago.



Li Qingshan sat under a dark tree far away from the campfire calmly. Xianghua Lu sat right beside him and said proudly, “If it weren’t for my fragrance, those venomous insects would have bitten you to death already!”

Li Qingshan simply laid down casually, using her lap as a pillow without holding back at all. He crossed his legs and assumed a comfortable pose.

His shamelessness stunned Xianghua Lu. She extended her hands and pinched away at his face, except her actions were overly gentle that it felt more like intimate contact than punishment. Gradually, her expression sweetened. Ever since that day in the “Unaging Spring of Youth”, he had cast a shadow in her heart. He was the first man to treat her as a woman and kiss and caress her, even though he was only a child.

She never thought she would meet him again a few days later, and during the several days of contact, the shadow rapidly grew heavier. She simply found him different from all the people she had seen so far. He seemed to glow as he stood in the crowd, overshadowing everyone around him.

At this moment, singing rose up from the campfire. It was a ballad from a young man, seeking for love from a young woman. Ten days ago, Li Qingshan found this to be pretty interesting, but by now, he had grown sick of it already, especially when the song targeted Xianghua Lu who was right beside him.

“Look at how nice their singing is. Do you know how to sing?” Xianghua Lu saw how annoyed he was and giggled.

“Of course!” Li Qingshan said. Back then, he had even sung until prince Si Qing’s face sank.

“Let’s hear it!”

“If you want to hear it, sure, but give me a kiss!”

“I don’t believe you. You definitely can’t sing. I’ll never fall for this!”

Li Qingshan raised his head and kissed her gently on the lips. Before she had even returned to her senses, he began singing softly, “Under the moonlight, the fernleaf hedge bamboo, soft, beautiful like the green mist. The fine lady in the bamboo loft, dazzling like luminous pearls…”

TL: The lyrics come from the song “Fernleaf Hedge Bamboo in the Moonlight”. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoOCghRRNPE

The moment he began singing, even Li Qingshan himself found it unusual. The singing by the fire immediately stopped. Everyone looked over and listened closely. Never had they heard such touching singing before. It was as magnificent and light as the sounds of nature.

By the time the singing stopped, everyone was still taken away by the song, and Xianghua Lu who was only inches away was completely enamoured. Li Qingshan shook his head. The songs of a young phoenix surpasses the old. Let’s just say this is an advantage from the Phoenix Transformation too!

“That’s so nice! What is this song? How come I’ve never heard of it before?” Xianghua Lu returned to her senses, overwhelmed with excitement. She completely forgot about being angry from having a kiss forced on her.

“There are plenty of songs you haven’t heard!” Li Qingshan yawned, and his ears suddenly twitched. He seemed to be listening for something!

At this moment, a group of people pressed closer. The barbarians of various ages stared at Li Qingshan viciously. Over the past few days, Li Qingshan had never talked to anyone. Even when people tried to talk to him, he ignored them. He had absolutely nothing to say to these people, but he came off as wildly arrogant in the eyes of others, which led to everyone’s discontent.

The reason why they had done nothing yet was because they feared the envoy of the White Lotus cult. Now that he was impelling them on, they all leapt forward. The flames of envy blazed in them, burning even hotter than the campfire.

Xianghua Lu said, “What are you trying to do?”

“Goldie A’yue, we want to challenge you!” “A’lu, this has nothing to do with you, so step aside!”

Li Qingshan laid leisurely in Xianghua Lu’s lap and said in an unconvinced fashion, “I can see death looming over all of you, so just forget about it tonight!” His gaze landed on the sagely, white-haired, white-bearded envoy of the White Lotus cult by the fire. His face seemed sunken too. He dared not use force directly against Xianghua Lu who had a background, but that did not mean he dared not lay his hands on a kid who tried to slip into the White Lotus cult with malicious intentions!

“You’re still so stubborn when death is right in front of you! Hack him to pieces!” The barbarians drew their blades loudly and swung around madly, dealing with the problem in the way they were most adept at.

Xianghua Lu cried out. She had no idea why these people who had been so kind the entire time would suddenly become so vicious and try to kill A’yue! Right when she was about to take action, the young shaman that Li Qingshan had told to piss off slipped over silently, prepared to seize the opportunity and stop her.
