“I lost my sister.”
Hua Yun’s words were filled with deep self-blame. Her voice had also weakened, like an injured sparrow that had been drenched in the rain. She sounded very weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Li Qingshan spoke gently, “Sister, what you did wasn’t wrong. Seeking immortality in the Human World is the right path!”
Hua Yun managed a bitter smile, choosing not to respond.
“Sister, did you know? The path to immortality has been closed by me,” Li Qingshan said seriously.
“What did you say?” Hua Yun exclaimed in shock.
Li Qingshan chuckled, expressing great joy. “After discussing your sister’s matters, I wonder if you’d like to hear about my affairs?”
“Tell me, sister is listening,” Hua Yun urged with impatience, eager to hear Li Qingshan’s story.
Li Qingshan sat down in front of the black hole, leaning against it. The lava-like formation patterns framed his face, presenting a picture of a peerless young man. Unfortunately, Hua Yun couldn’t see him.
She listened in silence. Li Qingshan’s story was even more extraordinary than Hua Xiangrong’s.
This time, Hua Yun didn’t doubt its authenticity. She knew what Li Qingshan’s personality was like. He wouldn’t make up such a lie to lie to her.
“Brother, are you saying you’re truly an Immortal now?” Hua Yun’s voice trembled slightly, conveying her profound shock.
“Attaining immortality in the Human World!” Li Qingshan declared.
“Brother, do you plan to open the Gate of Immortality?” Hua Yun took a deep breath, suppressing her astonishment as she asked.
“Sister, I am determined to open the Gate of Immortality!” Li Qingshan asserted firmly.
“Brother, what are your plans?” Hua Yun inquired.
“Release you!” Li Qingshan requested softly. Since meeting Hua Yun, she had been imploring him to release her. Li Qingshan had never agreed because he was worried that it would affect the Human World.
Now, unburdened by such concerns, he could release Hua Yun as he was invincible in the Human World, capable of subduing all adversaries.
Hua Yun remained silent.
The black hole echoed with stillness.
“Are you so delighted that you’ve become foolish?” Li Qingshan teased.
He truly wished to see the face of his sister, blessed with such a melodious voice.
“Brother, it’s not suitable for you to release me now,” Hua Yun replied with bitterness after a pause.
“What happened?” Li Qingshan asked calmly, aware that something must have transpired for Hua Yun to express such sentiments.
“Boiling Water Prison has been conducting a rigorous investigation lately. Releasing me would undoubtedly alert the higher-ups. You’ve caused a significant disturbance in the Human World, and you plan to open the Heaven Gate with your sword. I cannot delay you,” Hua Yun explained softly.
“Sister, do you want to come out?” Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
“Forget it. Since you’ve called me sister for so many years, I won’t harm you. Don’t let me out. I only have 1,000 years to serve in prison. A few hundred years have already passed. I’ll be fine after enduring a little longer.” Hua Yun rejected Li Qingshan.
“Sister, can you wait for me for 20 years?” Li Qingshan took a deep breath and asked.
“What do you intend to do?” Hua Yun inquired in surprise.
“Twenty years later, I’ll be in the Immortal Plane to fetch you from Boiling Water Prison!” Li Qingshan declared firmly.
“Brother, there’s no need…” Hua Yun’s voice was trembling, and her heart was thumping. At this moment, she was touched by a young boy, and her voice was soft.
Hua Yun knew Li Qingshan wasn’t someone who spoke without purpose. If he said it, he would do it.
“Sister, I’ll be very busy from now on. I have to open the Heaven Gate with my sword and enter the Immortal Plane to cultivate diligently!”
“I won’t have the time and opportunity to come over and talk to you again.”
“When you are lonely, just think of me. I will come twenty years later.” Li Qingshan declared firmly.
“Also, it’s my luck to be able to meet my sister. This luck was granted by you, and I will keep my promise.” Li Qingshan spoke gently, a faint smile on his face. The fiery red lava patterns framed his appearance.
The young man blushed!
Hua Yun’s mind was in chaos.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Her brain hadn’t figured it out yet, but her mouth couldn’t wait any longer. “I’ll wait for you!”
When she said this, Hua Yun’s mind went blank, and she felt stunned.
Was she under a spell?
Why did she say that? For the first time in her life, she said she would wait for a man.
Hearing this, Li Qingshan raised his head and smiled happily. He didn’t say a word, just smiled.
“What are you laughing at?” Hua Yun said in embarrassment.
“I just felt like laughing,” Li Qingshan said happily. “Sister, don’t you want to laugh?”
“I don’t want to laugh.” Hua Yun pouted.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Hua Yun let out a light laugh. Her voice was crisp and clear, like pearls falling on a jade plate, splashing into Li Qingshan’s heart.
“Alright, alright, stop laughing. Hurry up and reinforce the surroundings. If you don’t come again in the future, don’t leave any gaps.” Hua Yun urged Li Qingshan sweetly and with embarrassment.
“Understood!” Li Qingshan stood up and quickly reinforced the formation. With his current Immortal-level strength, the prisoners in Boiling Water Prison would never be able to escape.
After the reinforcement was completed, Li Qingshan stood in front of the black hole and said, “Sister, I’m leaving. I’ll be in seclusion for a while. Then, I’ll go to the Immortal Plane to improve myself. We’ll meet again in 20 years.”
“Brother, be careful. Don’t let sister wait in vain,” Hua Yun couldn’t help but say before they parted.
Li Qingshan nodded, turned around, and left, cutting off his desire to stay.
He now found another reason for himself to work hard.
In the past, Li Qingshan only wanted to go to the last peak to see the world.
Now, he had an older sister..
