Heaven's Orders and Darkness

The Halfman Taoist appeared shocked and incredulous when he did not receive any response. He bellowed angrily, "How dare you!"

Long Qing still did not reply.

A newborn beast might be weak, but its yearning for milk and the vitality it had were at their peak.

Long Qing was such a beast. He shut his eyes, intoxicated and serene. He greedily sucked in everything that he could, thirstily and innocently.

The peach blossom on his shirt grew darker and darker as his chest seemed to grow so deep; one could not see its bottom. It was a dark abyss, absorbing the aura from the old taoist priest's palm.

The old taoist priest withered. His body shrunk until it began to hunch over. He had pinned all his hopes and dreams on Long Qing, who stood before him, that he was even willing to give Long Qing half of his cultivation power. However, he then realized that something was wrong, and began to feel an immense fear.
