Chapter 654: Chapter 369: The Regret of a Broken Appointment (2)

Li Ye naturally noticed what he was doing and felt that he might have misunderstood something.

Yet, it was too late to say anything.

Because the Key was looking at him.

“Sorry.”

Li Ye sighed deeply and took the initiative to step forward.

“This matter is indeed my fault.”

“Too many things happened so I forgot about my promise to Yang Ke Dao You. No matter how you blame me, it’s only right.”

Actually, the Key was indeed a bit upset.

They agreed to meet after three years, and he was full of anticipation, waiting for the next meeting, even contemplating what he would discuss with Li Ye.

He even thought about bringing Li Ye to the East Pole Dark Sea for a tour, letting him see his treasure vault.

Yet as years went by, it turned into three years, then another three.

He had already made thousands of porcelain pieces, each crafted by his own hands, painted with plum blossoms, but Li Ye still hadn’t come.

For the first time, he felt the solitary chill of the wind and snow of the East Pole Dark Sea.

So much so that… He almost considered destroying the sea blessed by the wind and snow.

Luckily, just as he was losing his mind, he sensed a power, and began to struggle, finally allowing Li Ye to see him.

Even if he became frantically struggling, covered in scars, injuring his own foundation, he did not care.

Therefore, despite the anger and hardship in his heart.

He just smiled lightly and proactively held Li Ye’s hand:

“It’s all right.”

“Our lifespans are very long, and we have plenty of time to drink tea and discuss Dao.”

This remark made Li Ye feel even more guilty.

He’s not foolish; having cultivated the Emotion Song to perfection, he could clearly sense that this “Deity” was already… quite uneasy, and even his power was becoming diluted.

Maybe at some point he would suddenly turn into foam and melt away in the sunlight.

So, was it because of him?

Sigh.

The price for breaking the promise was indeed too heavy.

His mind spun rapidly.

Soon, he figured out what had happened.

So he thought carefully for a moment, tightened the grip on the Key’s hand, and invited, “With my position as the Lord of One Realm, and using the Spiritual Power of this sea to supply, it should be enough to stabilize a space portal.

Would you like to connect your world with mine?

I will give you a piece of the sea—though not as vast as your domain, it can still hold the wind and snow and the blooming plum blossoms.

In this way, you can come find me anytime.

Look…”

Li Ye hadn’t even finished speaking.

The Key tightly gripped his hand, the veins even popping out.

“Okay!”

“What do you need me to do?”

“I have a lot of Tribulation Ash here, I can give it to you.”

“Is this enough?”

Li Ye looked at him, said nothing, just lightly patted his hand: “During leisure time, watch the winds and clouds rise, when active, drink tea and discuss Dao with Yang Ke Dao You, this is my promise to you.

Honored by all in heaven and earth, I shall never break my word.”

He clearly did not realize how powerful his words were, but anyway, after hearing them, the Key was delighted enough to throw out a whole bag of porcelain.

If they weren’t precious artifacts, presumably they would’ve shattered over the ground straight away.

Clusters of plum blossoms grew around them, overshadowing the sun, stirring snow amid sunlight, creating a magnificent scene of wind and snow, eager to establish a place to drink tea and discuss Dao right there.

— In fact, the Key really thought so, and thus undertook accordingly.

A plum blossom grove rose from the sea.

Snow fell over the sky, petals flying amongst.

He warmly invited Li Ye to sit on the porcelain mat made from Tribulation Ash, then took out a teapot also made from Tribulation Ash, plucked a few petals from his head to put in, and boiled it using seawater.

The whole operation was almost too much for Li Ye to bear.

How was he supposed to explain that the seawater here was different from that in the East Pole Dark Sea?

Tea brewed with seawater…

He helplessly received the cup that the Key handed over.

Draining the “salty and fragrant” tea with thick floral scent.

Instantly feeling somewhat unwell.

But the Key seemed unable to taste the rich salt flavor, drinking cheerfully, so he could only follow suit, cup after cup.

Truly experiencing what it’s like to drink tea until full.

Don’t say…

Aside from the strange taste of the tea, the Spiritual Power it contained was indeed quite pure, with a kind of heaviness honed by the wind and snow, if an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator drank a cup, perhaps breaking a small realm wouldn’t be a problem.

After all, it’s the essence of a unified “world” Deity’s Divine Body!

So, very quickly he adapted.

While they leisurely drank tea here, his actions didn’t cease, he was using his abilities to fix the Xiangshui Tree.

— At the distant end of the sea, the world of wind, snow, and plum blossoms unveiled its curtain.

…

At the same time.

Elsewhere.

The Dragon Clan frozen into ice sculptures finally broke free from the power of heaven and earth, shaking off icicles from their heads, wagging their tails to remove ice, and flying out of the sea.

Still unsatisfied, they said:

“Don’t let me find out who did this! Or I’ll call my grandpa to beat him up!”

“Hmph, just when we crossed space and were still unstable, come and fight us for real now!”

“Yeahyeah… er, Uncle Qingshu.”

The boastful young dragons saw the grim-faced—no one knew how to recognize a dragon’s grim face, but it was indeed grim—Ao Qing flying over.

Then.

“Smack!”

He directly swatted them back into the sea with his tail, while scolding:

“Every one of you is a moron!”

“I went through great effort to sign a contract with them, and you’re messing it all up?”

“Do you really think being born a dragon makes you a true dragon?”

At this moment, he was truly angry.

It’s all due to the ancestors spoiling them, after all, the Dragon Clan’s reproductive ability is exceedingly poor, sometimes requiring the dragon soul to return to the Suspended Sea for rebirth.

Such newly born Dragon Clan members are extremely rare.

It’s uncertain if even one emerges in a century.

This led the old dragons from the Dragon Clan to pay exquisite attention to the newly born, nurturing them as if they were children even at a hundred years old, and sometimes even porky kids…

This time Ao Qing and the ancestor Ao Kou also decided to let them suffer the hardship — others couldn’t dare sharpen their knives towards the Dragon Clan, only the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect could.

Furthermore, the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect wouldn’t just kill and break them open to dissect and divide the flesh and blood, but they would cultivate them slowly to collect resources.

For Spirit Beasts accustomed to the artificially created luxurious environment of the Four Seasons Sect, this was certainly a good thing, but if it were these dragons eager to pierce a hole in the sky… then it would be more painful than death.

But it was deserved.

He was already eager to see how Li Ye would handle…

“Hmm?”

Ao Qing suddenly felt something was wrong.

He lowered his eyes to look at the sea below.

And saw a giant, verdant tree akin to a green dragon, stretching out branches and vines, retrieving the fallen young dragons one after another.

In the process, several other dragons belonging to Li Ye were targeting them fiercely — indeed with cruelty, beating them to the point of their skin tearing apart, even attempting to flay and extract tendons.

Having become part of the Dragon Clan, they understood the structure of dragon bodies to the fullest extent, plus being Spirit Beast Spirit Plant converted Dragon Clan, in their world dealing death meant true death.

Not to mention these guys dared to “insult” Li Ye!

Each one was furious and burning with anger.

If there weren’t at least a bit of sanity left to leave them one breath, presumably several would already head for rebirth.

Ao Qing absorbed every detail.

Paused for a moment, said:

“Their bodies contain extremely pure Dragon Clan blood marrow, why not consume it, all flowed into the sea, benefiting the fishes.”

When these words were spoken.

“…”

Both those who were beating and those being beaten fell silent.
