The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 490 Skin-to-Skin Kiss
Qing Shi sincerely thanked Lu Zhou.

His words and expression were filled with gratitude.

Only she, the person directly involved, truly understands how great a favor Lu Zhou's enlightenment was to her.

It's no exaggeration to say that for her, who has always aspired to become an emperor, this was nothing short of giving her a new life.

Qing Shi was filled with fear. She couldn't imagine what the future would hold if she continued down that wrong path.

Regardless, one thing is certain: it was something she could not accept.

Lu Zhou raised his glass, waved his hand, and indicated to Qing Shi that she didn't need to be polite.

"I was just saying that!"

"What the future holds is up to you to walk!"

"Ok!"

Qing Shi smiled and nodded, brightening the world once again.

Her eyes, as she looked at Lu Zhou, were filled with a mixture of wonder, curiosity, and curiosity.

The more she got to know Lu Zhou, the more unfathomable he seemed.

She felt that the ethereal man before her was not only shrouded in mystery, but also exuded a fatal allure that was difficult for her to describe.

This made her feel that Di Tian and others, whom she had once thought were very good, were simply not comparable to her.

At this moment, she finally understood why Lu Zhou hadn't taken Di Tian, ​​or even her, seriously in his previous words.

Some people are truly the kind of people who, if you don't see them, are like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the moon; if you do see them, are like a floating speck gazing at the blue sky!

Only when you actually see and interact with them will you know what it means to be truly worthy of the reputation and to have a reputation that is far-reaching.

'Boom dong dong'

This is the sound of the Qilin beast stomping its feet in the void.

It comes from afar and then approaches.

Lu Zhou, Qing Shi, and Ling'er turned to look.

Then they saw Kane, the Golden-Winged Roc King, and the Red Phoenix riding their mounts toward them.

Kane and his group came to report to Lu Zhou that they had completely wiped out those who had dared to show their claws to them in the second city of the Human Ancient Road.

Lu Zhou nodded casually and completely put the matter out of his mind.

For him, there was really nothing worth worrying about.

It was Qing Shi who spoke up, mentioning Liu Ye's uncle, Liu Mingde.

She witnessed Lu Zhou's follower, the Golden-Winged Roc King, kill Liu Ye in full view of everyone.

This is tantamount to completely offending Liu Mingde.

As far as she knew, the Liu family was an extremely powerful clan on this ancient road, and she had heard that they also had very good relationships with some other law enforcement officers.

When Qing Shi saw Lu Zhou, she didn't take the matter of them killing Liu Ye to heart.

They assumed that Lu Zhou and his group were unaware of the Liu family's situation!
She believed that Lu Zhou and his group were indeed powerful, so powerful that even she couldn't fathom their true strength.

But as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Lu Zhou and his group still had to continue on this road, and who knows what tricks Liu Mingde might pull to scheme against them.

She was kindly reminding Lu Zhou that Liu Mingde was, after all, one of the enforcers of the ancient road, and no one knew exactly how strong he was or what kind of deep network of connections he had.

Just in case, it's best to keep an eye on it.

Lu Zhou understood what she meant and nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, Kane and the others had already learned the true identities of Qing Shi and Ling'er.

Qing Shi and Ling'er did not hide anything from them about this.

Putting aside Lu Zhou's relationship, the combat power that Kane and his group displayed was enough to earn Qing Shi's attention and respect.

Another great era begins, the path to becoming emperor is fierce, and the strong are on their way.

Qing Shi was about to leave.

Her close and intimate encounter with Lu Zhou deeply moved her.

She was eager to find a wonderful place to calmly heal her Dao injury, and at the same time, she carefully considered how she should proceed on her next path.
Before parting, Qing Shi told Lu Zhou.

"The Tenth City is known as the place of enlightenment on this ancient road, the star of sainthood."

She said that many years ago, she had made many amazing discoveries on the ancient life-bearing star below the Tenth City.

She suggested that after Lu Zhou arrived in the tenth city, he should travel around that ancient star more and take a look, as he might gain some valuable insights.

As he said this, Qing Shi also gifted Lu Zhou a secret map that recorded part of the situation of that ancient star.

This was drawn by her own hand.

These are all areas she personally visited when she traveled to that ancient star.

Lu Zhou unfolded the map and saw that Qing Shi had made many detailed annotations with Dao patterns on it. Even the opportunities contained in certain secret places were clearly recorded.

Lu Zhou even saw that the Daoist scripture in Qing Shi's hand actually contained more than just the Wheel Sea Scroll.

Besides the Wheel Sea Scroll, she also had the Dao Palace Scroll and the Four Extremes Scroll of the Daoist Scripture.

She attained all of this in a secret abode on that ancient star, in a place called Dayuepo.

Qing Shi noticed that Lu Zhou's gaze lingered on the location of Dayue Slope marked on the secret map.

He then smiled and spoke.

"Dayuepo is a highly renowned secret place on that ancient star of life. Over countless years, there have been many legends surrounding Dayuepo."

"Most of the people who have entered the trials of the tenth city and have heard of the Great Moon Slope will go there to try their luck!"

"That's why I went to Dayuepo back then, out of some curiosity."

"Then, by chance, they discovered a secret palace that seemed to be related to the Celestial Venerable of Morality, and finally, in that secret palace, they obtained the first three volumes of the Daoist scriptures."

Hearing her say that, Lu Zhou couldn't help but marvel at Qing Shi's good fortune once again.

This is really good luck.

Lu Zhou certainly remembered the ancient life star in the Tenth City, which was known as the Land of Enlightenment and the Star of Sainthood, as well as the Great Moon Slope located on that ancient star.

He now knows far more about the secrets of that place than anyone else, knowing that it is the place where the Celestial Venerable of Morality suppressed a part of the Holy Spirit's body and refined divine liquid.

He never expected that Qing Shi would also have such an extraordinary experience there.

This indeed confirms the saying that "Covering the Sky is the perfection of a group of people. In Covering the Sky, every person with an outstanding reputation must have their own destiny and fortune."

Lu Zhou did not refuse and smiled as he put away the scroll of secret diagrams that Qing Shi had given him.

Even for him, this scroll of secret diagrams was of considerable value, saving him a lot of time.

Before he could thank Qing Shi or think about what to give her as a return gift,

Qing Shi suddenly took out a jade slip from her sleeve, intending to give it to Lu Zhou.

She used her slender fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, then smiled and said to Lu Zhou.

"This jade slip contains information about the trials and observations I jotted down as I passed through each checkpoint over the years, all the way up to the fifty-fourth city where I sneaked back!"

"These might be of some use to you, Brother Lu, please accept them!"

Lu Zhou raised his hand and took the jade slip from Qing Shi's hand.

It was forged from the Nine Heavens Mutton Fat Jade Iron, which could be used to refine legendary weapons. Holding it in his palm, Lu Zhou could still feel the temperature emanating from the jade slip.

As he accepted the jade slip, Lu Zhou joked with Qing Shi.

Do you know how I suddenly feel right now?

Qing Shi asked in confusion.

"What does it feel like?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhou raised the jade slip and the scroll of secret diagram in his hand and continued to smile at Qing Shi.

"For the first time, I had the feeling that I was about to be kept by someone."

"what?"

Qing Shi was stunned, and her face almost turned dark in an instant. She was now somewhat sensitive to the word "sugar baby".
"I can't afford to support a dignified immortal!"

"This is just a small token of my gratitude for you enlightening me; it's nothing to mention!"

"Your poems will be richly rewarded in the future!"

Qing Shi was speaking the truth, but it also seemed like she was explaining something.

Lu Zhou shook his head.

"The idea of ​​'enlightening you' is a bit of a stretch, since ultimately it still depends on yourself!"

"But I am well aware of the value of this secret map and this jade slip."

Undoubtedly, although Qing Shi spoke simply, claiming that the information recorded in the jade slip was just something she jotted down casually in her daily life and was not worth mentioning.

But to be honest, the two gifts she gave to Lu Zhou at this time were both extremely precious.

In Lu Zhou's hometown dialect, this is almost as good as a walkthrough guide to clearing up to the fifty-fourth city.

For the other trial participants, this was nothing short of a treasure.

Even for Lu Zhou, it was extremely valuable, saving him a lot of time and allowing him to avoid many detours.

This doesn't quite reach the level Lu Zhou described, where he was being kept by Qing Shi.

However, it must be said that the fact that Qing Shi was able to give him these two heartwarming gifts at this time really made Lu Zhou feel quite favorably toward Qing Shi.

She is a very good person and an exceptionally perceptive woman. Even when giving gifts, she knows how to cater to his preferences and can guess what gifts will be helpful to Lu Zhou.

And just as described in the original work, she is a person who knows how to share, and she is always very generous to those she approves of.

This suited Lu's taste quite well.

Those from the Big Dipper know that even the Overlord Immortal is a follower of this path.

As Lu Zhou said this, he also thought about what he should give Qing Shi as a return gift.

He took out a divine light platform and handed it to Qing Shi.

Qing Shi was immediately shocked.

"How do you come to possess the Divine Light Platform?"

Qing Shi was all too aware of the value of the Divine Light Platform.

Especially on this ancient road, the Divine Light Platform has amazing effects, and even Emperor Ye described it as a supreme treasure.

If Qing Shi possessed the Divine Light Platform, she wouldn't have needed to rely on a special passage to sneak back like a thief.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: the Divine Light Platform in her hands must have been obtained legitimately through her achievements.

Lu Zhou laughed. "I found it!"

"This Divine Light Platform is yours!"

Qing Shi clearly didn't believe Lu Zhou's words. She knew all too well how precious the Divine Light Platform was, so how could it possibly have been picked up by Lu Zhou, who had only recently embarked on this path?

She looked at Lu Zhou and once again felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious in her eyes.

It was as if he was shrouded in layers of mist.

Qing Shi had a desire to peel away all the fog surrounding Lu Zhou.

Although she was curious about where Lu Zhou got the Divine Light Platform from, Qing Shi saw that Lu Zhou obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't press him further.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she asked Lu Zhou.

Why did you give it to me?

"Because I think you might need it before you can legitimately obtain a Divine Light Platform in the future!"

"Thank you, but no need. The Divine Light Platform is too precious, and Qing Shi feels unworthy of it!"

Qing Shi refused!
The refusal was straightforward.

Although she was indeed very tempted after seeing the Divine Light Platform.

But she felt that she already owed Lu Zhou a lot, and she felt that she should not accept such a generous gift.

Even offering some extremely precious treasure in exchange for it wouldn't work.

She felt that Lu Zhou, who had already offended an ancient law enforcer, would need the Divine Light Platform even more.

Lu Zhou, with his keen insight, immediately discerned Qing Shi's thoughts and intentions.

He smiled, too lazy to argue with Qing Shi.

No one could refuse what he was going to give away.

Then he reached out and grabbed Qing Shi's hand, placing the tiny, palm-sized divine light platform in her palm.

During this process, Qing Shi subconsciously wanted to hide and be on guard.

But Lu Zhou was too fast. Even a fairy as strong as her, who was about to break through to the Saint King realm, couldn't react in time before Lu Zhou grabbed her hand.

This greatly surprised and horrified Qing Shi.

As the saying goes, one can know the whole leopard from a single spot.

This alone gave Qing Shi a certain degree of foresight regarding Lu Zhou's combat strength!

Let her discover that Lu Zhou's combat strength is stronger than hers.

It was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

However, Qing Shi had no interest in delving into the matter any further at this moment.

Because she could feel the warmth of Lu Zhou's palm.

Qing Shi was stunned.

My head is buzzing again!
This was not the first time she had ever had her hand held by a man.

It was also the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a man.

She also discovered that she didn't seem to mind having such physical intimacy with Lu Zhou.

There seemed to be a hint of secret delight in him.

This made her feel flustered and uneasy, an emotion she had never experienced before in her life.

Qing Shi was almost completely short-circuited; a blush began to spread across her skin, which was as white and smooth as mutton fat jade.

She had already drifted off into her own world.

This prevented her from hearing anything Lu Zhou said next.

It was only when Lu Zhou waved his hand in front of her eyes that she was startled awake.

Upon waking up, Qing Shi quickly withdrew her hand.

Then, as if she had stepped onto a whirlwind, she rushed to Ling'er, who was waiting for her on a distant mountaintop.

Then, she grabbed Ling'er and disappeared.
Lu Zhou was taken aback!
He subconsciously squinted and touched his chin with his arms crossed.

Then he chuckled, a slight smile curving his lips as he looked in the direction where Qing Shi and Ling'er had disappeared.

Lu Zhou suddenly realized that Qing Shi was actually quite fun.

Unexpectedly, the celestial maiden, who always appeared calm and dignified in the original work, had this side to her.

On the other side, Ling'er, who had already been carried away a long distance by her young mistress, finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her gaze towards her young mistress was also full of teasing.

This almost caused Qing Shi to break down again.

Clearly, even though they were quite far apart before, Ling'er still saw Lu Zhou suddenly reach out and grab her young lady's hand.

Of course, Ling'er must have seen her young mistress's momentary panic.

This not only shocked Ling'er, but also made her quite amused.

This was the first time she had ever seen her young mistress in such a state.

"You little brat, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to even make fun of me now, huh?"

Qing Shi tried her best to put on a stern face, and habitually raised her hand, wanting to pinch Ling'er's cheeks full of collagen, wanting to teach Ling'er a lesson.

But then she realized that she was still holding the Divine Light Platform in her raised hand.

This immediately silenced Qing Shi.

"what?"

"Could this be the Divine Light Platform?"

Ling'er blinked and exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be that the treasure that Young Master Lu just gave to Miss is this very item?"

Ling'er had seen it before; it seemed that Lu Zhou had given something to her young lady.

However, she couldn't see clearly what it was.

It was only at this moment that she realized it was actually a divine light platform.

"My goodness! Young Master Lu is so generous! He's even willing to give Miss a treasure like the Divine Light Platform!"

"Does he, like those other men, also have feelings for you, Miss?"

"Is he expressing his love for you by gifting you such a priceless treasure as the Divine Light Platform?"

"Miss, what do you think of him?"

Ling'er was shocked, so shocked that she even blurted out her native dialect.

She was not only surprised, but her mind also habitually began to make all sorts of connections.

If you give her more time, she might be able to come up with the names for Lu Zhou and Qing Shi's child!

Qing Shi seemed completely oblivious to the gasps of surprise that Ling'er was letting out behind her.

Otherwise, she would definitely have given Ling'er a flick on the forehead.

She turned around and looked back at the road she had come from, lost in thought, her mind wandering elsewhere.

After a short while, Qing Shi nodded to Ling'er, indicating that the Divine Light Platform was indeed a gift that Lu Zhou had prepared for her.

Qing Shi handed the Divine Light Platform to Ling'er and said to her.

“His men killed Sun Ye, and I heard that Sun Deming’s favorite person was Sun Ye.”

"It can be said that he has already formed a deep enmity with Sun Deming. Sun Deming will definitely find an opportunity to attack him. He will definitely need the Divine Light Platform more than I do in the future."

"I cannot accept this Divine Light Platform, neither morally nor logically."

"Ling'er, go and return the Divine Light Platform to him. Thank him for me, and tell him that Qing Shi appreciates your kindness!"

Upon hearing Qing Shi's words, Ling'er immediately nodded and turned back to find Lu Zhou.

But she left quickly and returned even faster.

Upon seeing Qing Shi looking at her, Ling'er said to Qing Shi with a strange expression.

“Miss, I’ve told Young Master Lu everything you just said to me.”

"and then?"

Qing Shi pressed for an answer.

Then she saw Ling'er take out a divine light platform and say something to her.

"Then."

"Then Young Master Lu took out another Divine Light Platform from his person. He said that this thing was not very useful to him, and that he might find another one later, and he would give me one then."

"what?"

These words not only left Ling'er speechless, but also made Qing Shi's lips twitch.

Just then, she heard Ling'er say something else.

"Young Master Lu also asked me to tell Miss that if you consider him a friend, you should accept this Divine Light Platform; otherwise, he will return the jade slip and secret map that you gave him."

Qing Shi remained silent, her eyes misty, as she reached out and took the divine light platform that Ling'er presented to her, remaining speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard Ling'er whispering behind her.

"Um, Miss, I think Mr. Lu is a very nice person."

"Look at him, Young Master Lu's combat strength is not only terrifyingly mysterious, but his wealth is also mysteriously abundant. He has collected countless imperial scriptures. His fortune is even more astonishing than yours, Miss!"

"Oh, right, Young Master Lu is also very generous. Most importantly, he's incredibly handsome, with an ethereal and otherworldly air—he's practically perfect! Wow!"

Ling'er, who was a bit infatuated, finally got a flick on the forehead from her young mistress.

It brought tears to her eyes.

But as she watched Qing Shi, who had already put away the divine light platform and was flying rapidly into the distance, she smiled like a little fox who had just stolen a chick.

"If you keep dawdling, you'll be staying in the Second City by yourself. I'm leaving now."

Just then, she heard Qing Shi's seemingly calm voice.

Ling'er quickly replied with a smile.

"Oh, I'm here, miss, wait for me!"

Before she finished speaking, she chuckled and quickly chased after Qing Shifei in the direction he had flown.
