Chapter 333 - 333: Reckoning the Past (2)
“But your real identity doesn’t have the same fame as your alias. I’ve only heard rumors about the Holy Prince along the way. There’s also a rumor about Li Qingshan,” Hua Xiangrong said.
“This is the meaning of the existence of an alias,” Li Qingshan said.
“Then how did you and my sister meet?” Hua Xiangrong asked with curiosity.
“We met in the Human World. At that time, you had already entered the Immortal Plane and your sister was imprisoned in Boiling Water Prison,” Li Qingshan said.
“The Human World can communicate with Boiling Water Prison?” Hua Xiangrong was confused.
“The story begins three thousand years ago…” Li Qingshan recalled the past and said slowly.
Hua Xiangrong immediately perked up and was very serious. She loved to hear the gossip of her sister the most.
She wanted to know how her sister, who was ordinary except for her appearance, managed to captivate such an outstanding brother-in-law. However, as Li Qingshan recounted, Hua Xiangrong’s expression became increasingly strange. She looked at Li Qingshan and felt that this relationship could only be described as extraordinary.
Hua Xiangrong waited for Li Qingshan to finish speaking. She eased up a bit and accepted the content. She said strangely, “So, you’ve never actually met my sister?”
Li Qingshan nodded. “Never.”
“And then, you made my sister wait for you for twenty years without meeting her?” Hua Xiangrong looked at Li Qingshan. She didn’t expect such a genius Immortal King to be so naive in love.
In Hua Xiangrong’s eyes, Li Qingshan was a typical example of someone who only cared about cultivation. He didn’t know how to get along with women, nor did he know how to handle relationships.
Once he felt a bit of affection and deemed the other party suitable, he straightforwardly set a 20-year agreement.
It was simple and straightforward.
After that, he continued to cultivate. For the sake of the promise he made, he advanced all the way to the Immortal King Realm. He wanted to fulfill his promise, but he discovered that her sister had already disappeared.
“Your sister agreed,” Li Qingshan said to Hua Xiangrong.
Hua Xiangrong chuckled, ” Perhaps this is fate. Neither of you had even seen each other. At that time, my sister wouldn’t have known how formidable you were. After just over a decade, you rose to the level of an Immortal King, becoming one of the top existences in the Immortal Plane.”
“I just want to find your sister now. She’s alone in the Immortal Plane. If she encounters danger, she definitely won’t be able to handle it,” Li Qingshan said worriedly.
Hua Xiangrong looked at Li Qingshan’s worried expression and said, “Don’t worry. My sister isn’t a fragile flower. She has fought her way from the Human World to the Dimensional Battlefield. She aimed to become an Immortal in the Human World. Her strength is remarkable. She will be fine.”
“Thank you for your comfort, but compared to your sister, you’re in more trouble.” Li Qingshan looked at Hua Xiangrong’s beautiful face and said seriously.
“What trouble do I have?” Hua Xiangrong’s eyes flickered. She avoided eye contact with Li Qingshan and muttered softly.
“I heard that the treasury of the Divine Court was completely looted and all the treasures inside were lost. It was done by a female thief. Do you know who was it?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
Hua Xiangrong rolled her eyes at Li Qingshan and said, “It’s me.”
“But I didn’t loot the treasury completely. I only took a few things from it. The rest I left untouched, ” Hua Xiangrong protested.
“What exactly happened?” Li Qingshan asked with concern.
“It’s hard to explain…” Hua Xiangrong lowered her head in shame.
“How did you enter the Divine Court? The security there should be tight. You were even able to loot the Divine Court’s treasure vault and escape. You’re only in the Inherited Immortal Realm. It’s not easy for you to do this,” Li Qingshan asked.
“I was deceived by someone,” Hua Xiangrong said with a gloomy expression, her voice muffled.
“Who is it?” Li Qingshan immediately frowned and said in an unfriendly tone.
Who dared to deceive his sister-in-law?
“The son of the Godly King, ” Hua Xiangrong gritted her teeth and said.
“What is your relationship with the son of the Godly King?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“I was traveling in the God Realm and met the son of the Godly King here. He was extremely attentive to me and said that he had fallen for me at first sight and wanted me to marry him, ” Hua Xiangrong said. “Did you develop feelings for him?” Li Qingshan asked.
“No!” Hua Xiangrong said firmly.
“I don’t like this kind of second generation, especially the son of the Godly King. It’s too stressful to have an Emperor as a father.” Hua Xiangrong shook her head.
“What happened next?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Later on, the son of the Godly King kept pestering me and asked me to go to the Divine Court with him. He said that he could help me find information about my sister.”
“I thought about it. The Divine Court is the ruler of the God Realm. Naturally, they have many channels of information. It would definitely be very convenient to find my sister, so I agreed and went to the Divine Court with him.”
Hua Xiangrong narrated.
“Did you get any news about your sister?” Li Qingshan immediately asked.
However, after asking, he chuckled self-deprecatingly. He knew that there was no news from Hua Xiangrong’s current expression.
“I was deceived. The son of the Godly King claimed to be helping me investigate, but in fact, he was coveting my body. After entering the God Realm, he kept saying that he was helping me investigate and came to look for me every day. His actions became more and more impudent. I once scolded him angrily and thought that he was deceiving me, so I wanted to leave.”
“Little did I know, he revealed his true colors, saying that everyone in the Divine Court was under his command, and I can’t escape.”
“He wanted to use force on me, but I refused to the death. I used a magic treasure to move through space and escaped from there.”
“However, that time, I was fleeing in panic. I unexpectedly ended up inside the Divine Court’s treasury. When I saw so many treasures inside, I thought that the son of the Godly King had deceived me and wanted to possess me. Thus, I took away some cultivation elixirs and divine medicines. There were only a few dozen of them. To the entire treasury, they were just a drop in the ocean. After that, I used the magic treasure to escape..”
