Chapter 186: Chat on the Mountaintop

The mountain winds were biting cold. Lin Dong gazed at the
graceful and beautiful figure before him which stood at the
edge of the cliff, as a soft breeze brushed over, causing her
fine black hair to gently flutter, creating a free and elegant
look.

With regards to this sudden aid, Lin Dong was evidently

extremely astonished. Never did he imagine that this woman,
who was full of murderous intent just a while back, would
actually come and save him on her own accord.

“Cough…”

The silence on the mountaintop lasted for a long time, before

Lin Dong finally let out a dry cough and clasped his hands
together: “Many thanks to miss Ling Qingzhu for helping
me.”

“I saved you only because I want to kill you.”

Just as Lin Dong’s voice rang out, a soft and indifferent reply
caused his expression to turn awkward. Soon after, he bitterly
laughed and said: “Isn’t that overdoing it a little?”

Ling Qingzhu did not reply. She gazed at the mountains in

the distance, while her clear eyes remained ice-cold.
However, under that icy coldness, was an extremely faint
ripple. Moments later, she turned and looked at the youngster
as she said: “You are too weak.”

There was no contempt in her voice, only an undeniable fact.

“No one started out strong.” Under those clear yet cold
pupils, Lin Dong sighed as he slowly said.

“Two years later, you still won’t be Lin Langtian’s match.

Your challenge towards him is meaningless and merely
nothing more than a loser trying to show off with some
impressive final words.” Ling Qingzhu said in an indifferent
manner.

Upon hearing Ling Qingzhu’s words, Lin Dong’s expression

instantly darkened. Perhaps because of some unexplainable
matters of the heart, he was able to remain calm despite Wang
Yan’s and the rest’s disdainful sneers. However, standing
before Ling Qingzhu, the first woman whom he had intimate
relations of the flesh with, he was unable to bear these words.

“I will defeat him two years later!” Lin Dong deeply breathed
in, staring at Ling Qingzhu as he slowly uttered each word.

Ling Qingzhu gazed at the youngster, whose eyes were filled

with an incomparable stubbornness and an unwavering
determination, as if she was unable to understand where he
drew his confidence from. Moments later, her eyelashes
moved slightly as she tilted her head and said: “I’ve saved
you this time only because I want you to promise me one
thing.”

“What happened in the old tomb will forever rot in your

stomach, and can never be known. In fact, even you must
pretend it had never happened!”

Upon hearing the coldness in Ling Qingzhu’s voice, Lin Dong

did not know why but the blood in his body suddenly felt as
if it was about to surge, as he clenched his fist so tightly that
creaking noises sounded out. He had long anticipated this,
however, the heart of a youth after all contained various
kinds of unrealistic and immature fantasies.

Yet, at the same time, he also clearly understood that Ling

Qingzhu was not a woman who would give her heart and
body to someone who had taken her. This woman was too
prideful and it was very difficult to imagine if there would
ever be a man who she would fancy in this world. In fact, Lin
Dong believed that the two of them would never have
crossed paths, if it were not for what had happened in the old
tomb.
She was a phoenix that soared in the skies, and Lin Dong was
merely a young wolf, which was still running towards the
path of power. Even if they somehow met by chance, he could
never hope that the phoenix would pause and stay by his
side.

Lin Dong clearly understood all of this, yet, even though he

understood, accepting it was not easy. Although this
youngster knew how to endure patiently, he likewise had an
extremely strong self-esteem. He was able to bear the
humiliation he had suffered under Lin Langtian, but it was
very difficult for him to maintain an indifferent attitude in the
face of Ling Qingzhu’s serene tone.

From a certain point of view, the latter affected him so much

more.

“Because I am weak?”

“Even if you were Lin Langtian, my words would not

change.” Ling Qingzhu’s eyes slightly lowered, but her tone
remained undisturbed.

“If I am

stronger than Lin Langtian?!” Lin Dong abruptly raised his

head and firmly stared at Ling Qingzhu.
“Are you courting death?”
Ling Qingzhu’s long, shapely eyebrows slightly knitted
together, as her ice-cold voice sounded out: “If you continue, I
will kill you right here. Don’t think that I do not dare!”

“Don’t be under the impression that I am dishonoring you. If

what happened between us was even the least bit exposed,
don’t even bother mentioning yourself, even the entire Lin
Clan will definitely be completely exterminated. If you are
not a fool, you should know why it cannot be. No matter how
much willpower you have, some things are absolutely
impossible! As a person, assess your capabilities and act
accordingly!”

Upon hearing Lin Qingzhu’s icy voice as she spoke those last
few words, Lin Dong looked up to the sky and deeply
breathed in. A long time later, he finally replied in a low
voice: “I will not mention what happened between us in the
tomb to anyone…perhaps you might find this beneath
contempt, but the fact remains that you’ve saved my life
today. This debt will be repaid by Lin Dong in the future!”

“If you want to return this debt, talk about it again when you
possess the qualifications to participate in the Hundred
Empire War.” Ling Qingzhu cast a glance at Lin Dong, before
she elegantly turned around and gracefully left.
“Hundred Empire War?” Lin Dong was stunned.

“When you have truly surpassed Lin Langtian, you will

naturally have the qualifications to know what it is. However,
if you cannot even reach this point, your willpower and
arguments will be nothing more than useless drivel and a
joke.”

“If I can rise above the others in the Hundred Empire War,
will I have the qualifications?!” Lin Dong seemed to have
sensed something from Ling Qingzhu’s slight change in tone.
He immediately raised his head, and stared at the exceptional
figure atop the green lotus, as he said in a low voice.

He believed that Ling Qingzhu should understand what

qualifications he was talking about.

Sure enough, Lin Qingzhu’s beautiful figure slightly paused.

She was silent for quite some time, before she replied in an
indifferent manner: “Just barely enough. However, I do not
believe that you will reach that point. This is not contempt
but merely being realistic. Regardless of whether you accept
it, it will not change.”

Lin Dong stared unwaveringly at the beautiful figure which

seemed to be made from all the spirits of heaven and earth.
His eyes suddenly turned extremely passionate and
unbridled: “That day will come. At that time, I will once
again stand before you and tell you that, a woman that I’ve
slept with will definitely be mine!”

The youngster’s suddenly fearlessness and unbridled manner

directly caused the beautiful figure to turn rigid. One could
imagine how wonderful the view of that absolutely beautiful
face under the veil would be.

“Bang!”

Sure enough, Lin Dong’s wanton words drew a palm of green

light, which ruthlessly slammed into his chest, smashing him
into a boulder, such that even a trail of blood flowed out from
the corner of his mouth. However, Lin Dong did not seem to
be in pain at all, and instead heartily laughed out.

“I will only allow such blind and foolish words before you
have truly reached the stage that you have spoken of this one
time. Or else the consequences will not be offset by a single
palm. I have already shown the utmost mercy to you, if you
push this any further, I will kill you.”

The exceptional figure on the green lotus slightly tilted her

head, gazing at the youngster who was practically embedded
in the boulder, whose gaze remained as passionate and
stubborn as before. An extremely faint disturbance suddenly
surfaced in those clear eyes.

“Lin Dong, I hope that you will not be this weak the next time
we meet. A truly strong person is not all talk.”

A soft voice hovered about the mountaintop, as the green

lotus started to glow. Soon after, it transformed into a green
light under Lin Dong’s gaze and swept towards the horizon.
In a few breaths, it completely disappeared.

Gazing at the light as it disappeared into the horizon, Lin

Dong deeply breathed in, before leaping off the cliff. He spit
out the bloody foam in his mouth; the woman’s palm attack
seemed to be heavy, but it was clearly also within the limits.
Or else, it would not be so simple as spitting out one or two
mouthfuls of blood for him.

“Kid, you’ve indeed been clouded by lust. If that woman was

truly angered, you would not survive even if you had nine
lives.” The small marten appeared before him and let out a
strange laughter.

“Then, should I hold it in? What if I explode from doing so?”

Lin Dong chuckled as he stared at the spot where Ling
Qingzhu had disappeared, before he said: “When I meet her
next time, I will honorably tear off her veil.”
“Bold, heh. However, it is a little difficult to achieve. To
honorably tear off that woman’s veil is much more difficult
than defeating Lin Langtian.” The small marten straightened
its claws, not holding back as it spoke: “Although I do not
know the identity of that woman, it should be somewhat
extraordinary. A poor brat like you is too unskilled to pick up
a woman like that.”

Lin Dong softly chuckled, as he ignored the small marten’s

insult. Regardless of how powerful and incredible Ling
Qingzhu’s status was, he would not give up so easily.

She did not believe that he would be able to reach that step,
then Lin Dong would prove her wrong in the end!

Even if this required a huge amount of sacrifice and

hardwork, Lin Dong would not regret it at all. After all,
everyone only gets one shot at life, if one lives life without
ambition, one would have wasted it!

Hence, Lin Dong’s goal was that once he became a truly

strong practitioner, he would once again stand before her. He
did not want to prove anything to her out of hot bloodedness,
rather he wanted to show her that the young man she had
rejected years before on that mountaintop, had reversed her
words!
Perhaps this kind of thinking and goal seemed too absurd for
now. However, Lin Dong would not give up.

“Don’t think too far into the future. Be realistic kid. This time,
in order to escape, you used eleven thousand Pure Yuan pills.
Right now, you have only ten thousand left…”

While Lin Dong was staring into the horizon, the small
marten’s causal words suddenly caused his face to stiffen. An
extreme heartache gushed out in his heart, eleven thousand…

“That son of a b*tch!”

The number of Pure Yuan pills on his hands had shrunk. This
heartache caused Lin Dong to grit his teeth as he cursed
Wang Yan countless times. How could this be a battle, it was
practically using money to beat others!

“Thankfully, we managed to snatch that fellow’s Qiankun

bag. His status in the Wang Clan is pretty high, so he should
be quite wealthy…”

While his heart was aching, Lin Dong suddenly remembered

the Qiankun bag he had snatched from Wang Yan. He
hurriedly took it out and started flipping through it. He
wanted to find out just how wealthy that fellow was!

“You had better not cause me to suffer a loss!”

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and uttered as he opened the
Qiankun bag.
