Therefore, there’s no need to worry about Ah Qing at all.
Silently swallowing the sweet fruit in her mouth, Shi Qingjun slightly furrowed her brow.
Leaving aside Ah Qing, a woman who had almost completely given up, the most crucial point in Li Zhibai’s words was actually the Demon Race.
She’s still not aware that Xu Chang’an is likely to possess the ability to ’break the boundary’ disregarding levels, but Li Zhibai ntioned it for a reason, so she will seriously consider it.
But the Demon Race...
It’s actually sowhat troubleso.
The construction of the Great Barrier in Qing Province took a very long ti, and the Demon Race within the barrier is not worth ntioning, leading to Shi Qingjun being nearly completely unaware of the situation outside Qing Province.
She only knows that outside Qing Province, there are demons everywhere, and nothing else.
She is completely clueless about the top combat abilities, the numbers, or the special tactics of the demons outside the domain.
However, Shi Qingjun is very certain about one thing, and that is her strength.
Both the Human Race and the Demons outside the domain are under the Heavenly Dao; Shi Qingjun used to be the person closest to the Heavenly Dao... unmatched by anyone, thus she was once qualified to disregard the so-called extra-domain demons.
Even outside the domain, she was the absolute number one.
However, her cultivation has now been forcibly reduced by twenty percent.
Twenty percent seems not much, but in fact, it essentially moved her from a level where she could crush Ah Qing to needing to engage in a fight, spending so thoughts to defeat her.
In Shi Qingjun’s mind, this was already a significant weakening.
The Heart Demon Tribulation caused her considerable harm, although given so ti, she could ascend back, but it would take at least a few years to recover.
Additionally, her connection with the Heavenly Dao was becoming weaker... making the originally insignificant extra-domain demons now a threat.
Moreover, she’s sowhat aware that there are thods of communication between the demons inside and outside Qing Province, but she does not know them.
"..."
Shi Qingjun gently rubbed her forehead with her finger.
Suddenly, a sense of regret began to grow.
Because it wasn’t due to a lack of ability that she was unaware, it was because she wasn’t interested, thus she didn’t know.
Previously, even if the core secrets of the Demon Race were laid before her, she wouldn’t have glanced at them.
Overall, when one’s eyes are only on the Heavenly Dao, discussing anything with them is aningless.
Besides, before the fall of her realm, if she wished, nothing could be hidden from her eyes, even if the great demon barrier remained unbroken, she understood the opposing side thoroughly.
This was the dominion of Immortal Chaoyun, known for dwelling high within the Nine Heavens, causing the demons within the domain to remain very obedient and withdrawn.
But...
That was in the past.
Hmm... Although, now due to Xu Chang’an’s ergence, whether it’s Lingyu, Celestial Tribulation, or Great Sun, all are elevating the mystique and fearful prestige of ’Immortal Chaoyun’ to another level, emphasizing a feeling that she alone occupies the Immortal Realm, while others are re ants.
Under such threats, demons inside the domain would have sches but completely dare not contact the demons outside.
But Shi Qingjun knows her own situation.
She is presently in a period of weakness.
So now, she wants to know but is rather unable to understand.
"..." a gentle sigh.
How useless was she in the past? How could she be so ignorant?
As a woman, under these circumstances, she can’t help but develop so dissatisfaction with her past self.
Just like Zhu Pingniang.
Whoever ntions the forr fairy Zhu Tongjun before Zhu Pingniang now, she herself could practically die from embarrassnt.
Truly, it’s worthy of being a teacher and a student, both have risen so dissatisfaction towards their past selves.
"I... have changed quite a lot." Shi Qingjun took a bite of the fruit in her hand, looked at the small bite mark on the fruit, and slightly tilted her head.
At this mont, Ah Qing had already left.
She went to so celebration banquet with a group of ladies, to eat and drink.
Hmm...
She felt it necessary to ntion this to Ah Qing, because unlike her, Ah Qing indeed has connections with the demons within the domain...
Shi Qingjun isn’t concerned with the Demon Race, but remains sowhat attentive to Ah Qing, who is equally at the Qiankun realm, even if only a little, she understands so things.
It’s not surprising, after all, Ah Qing was once the worst woman under heaven, her objectives were the Heavenly Dao and Shi Qingjun, having unified the Demon Sect, she naturally wouldn’t give up cooperating with the demons within the domain...
After all, she is a half-demon, and hasn’t shed her bloodline.
If Wen Li can accomplish this, why can’t Ah Qing?
Therefore, Ah Qing could completely transform her bloodline between the human and demon races, whether she is a pure human maiden or one with Jade Scale Flower Pupils... is all between her thoughts.
Then based on Ah Qing’s previous character...
How would the demons inside the domain or outside consider her?
Hmm.
If there truly were soone who could disregard human safety and collude with the demons, shattering the Great Barrier, plunging the realm into devastation rely for a chance to ascend, Ah Qing indeed would be the only choice for the Demon Race.
Hence, it’s extrely probable that Ah Qing has garnered the genuine ’trust’ of all the demons, under such circumstances, she proclaid herself the greatest bad woman before Yun Qian... and she wasn’t wrong.
But now, Ah Qing seeks a peaceful life, so the trust of the demons... will likely go to waste.
Of course, Shi Qingjun doesn’t understand Ah Qing’s relationship with the demons thoroughly, as a large part of her thoughts are actually occupied by the delicious juicy fruit in her mouth, and only slightly considers it.
Shi Qingjun: "..."
This world is just peculiar in this way, many things change completely without even a trace of logic.
In short.
Now that Yun Qian has gone up the mountain, she will take more care, and as for the Demon Race’s secret techniques and movents, she usually needs to spend ti enjoying pastries, perhaps won’t have much thought to spare.
Leave it to Ah Qing.
She will handle it well.
Therefore, Yun Qian’s safety... doesn’t need to be a concern.
Thinking up to here, Shi Qingjun closed her gemstone-like eyes, only opening a slit after a while, showing a bit of glowing luster.
Yun Qian... her safety?
Ms. Yun.
That Ms. Yun.
She rembered her nightti chat with Xu Chang’an by the lakeside, seeing Yun Qian holding an umbrella stepping out from the house, then standing on the shore gazing at her and Xu Chang’an’s figures from afar.
The girl was like a shadow in the wind, like a flower in the water, standing there yet appearing to be at odds with the world, as if she inherently didn’t belong there, feeling extrely bizarre.
Instinctively, Shi Qingjun sensed a strong discordance with the word ’protection’, she always felt... if anyone truly needed protection, it absolutely wouldn’t be Yun Qian, and absolutely shouldn’t be Yun Qian.
Does that girl really need protection?
At this mont, Shi Qingjun’s rationality and emotion experienced a slight conflict; rationally speaking, Yun Qian seed so weak, of course she needed protection.
However, Shi Qingjun, closely attuned to the Heavenly Dao, valued her ’sixth sense’ even higher than her rationality.
It’s also the reason why she wants to ’befriend’ Yun Qian.
’I always feel... becoming friends with her, being able to speak with her... is very important.’
Just then, a timid little girl quietly sat beside her, hugging her arm.
"Sister Shi, later... the girls are planning to do Moxibustion and Massage, would you like to go too?" she asked, her face flushed.
"Hmm... Hm?" Shi Qingjun’s train of thought was interrupted: "Moxibustion?"
"There’s a dedicated room in the Flower Moon Building," the little girl nodded earnestly, "Moxibustion is very comfortable and warm, you’ve been sitting all night, why not co have a look? It won’t take much ti."
"..."
Shi Qingjun thought about it.
Forget it.
She temporarily couldn’t figure out Yun Qian’s matters, so decided not to dwell on it.
As for Moxibustion, she could go or not go; it’s a nonchalant affair.
Thus, with a little girl enduring shyness to invite her, Shi Qingjun had no reason to refuse.
She should try it.
At present, she’s inclined to try things.
"However, my body is crystal-clear, lacking any acupoints, does Moxibustion still have effect?" Shi Qingjun asked.
"... It should have, probably."
