Chapter 129: My Saintess Seems to Be Boy-Crazy

Seventh time after three hundred breaths.

Qiu Zhihe turned her back, Qin Gengyun leaned in to embrace her, Qiu Zhihe struggled slightly, then stopped moving.

Qin Gengyun had a blissful smile on his face, feeling that at this moment, all the beauty in the world was in his arms.

In his previous life, he was a failure at the bottom of society, dying in his forties without ever marrying.

Coming to this cultivation world, he was still at the bottom, poisoned by Pill Poison, and still could only live to forty.

Qin Gengyun was once in despair, thinking this life would also end in a bleak outcome.

Yet in his darkest moment, he met Qiu Zhihe.

He knew Qiu Zhihe had many secrets, and knew his wife wasn’t as gentle and weak as she appeared.

But, what did that matter?

His wife was the only light in his life.

No matter where this light came from, he would hold onto it tightly.

Just like he was now holding his wife’s warm and tender body tightly.

"Wife, feeling better? Shall we continue?"

Qin Gengyun lowered his head and whispered softly at Qiu Zhihe’s petite earlobe.

Qiu Zhihe’s body trembled slightly, her voice somewhat soft:

"You, your injuries haven’t healed, you shouldn’t... indulge."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, then I’ll just hold you to sleep."

Qin Gengyun’s tone seemed to inquire, but his hold tightened, not letting Qiu Zhihe break free.

Qiu Zhihe’s mind was a mess, her head completely blank.

Back when she came to Yunling Town, she was dead in spirit, like a walking corpse.

If it wasn’t for Master telling her to reverse cultivate the Profound Ice and Fire Technique to restore her cultivation through Dual Cultivation, giving her the only hope.

Perhaps she would have already ended it herself.

At that time, she made up her mind to give up dignity and chastity, living only for revenge.

As long as she could quickly restore her cultivation, no matter who her Dual Cultivation partner was, no matter if they treated her well or not, sincerely or not, she didn’t care.

As a woman, she once imagined meeting someone she could share a deep bond with, fly together, and seek the Dao together.

But now she no longer held such intangible fantasies.

That night walking into the Marriage Pavilion, her heart was dead silent, then, the first man she met was Qin Gengyun.

She immediately saw that this man had Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, perfectly matching the Profound Ice and Fire Technique.

As for this man’s appearance and character, she simply didn’t bother to care.

That night, she pushed down Qin Gengyun, recklessly losing her chastity.

All the beautiful fantasies in her heart were shattered, the rest of her life was supported only by the will for revenge.

But unexpectedly, just half a year later, things had already exceeded expectations.

This man, whom she used as a Dual Cultivation tool, unknown from what point on, had already changed in her heart.

Even at this moment being rudely held in his arms, she couldn’t muster any anger.

Instead, there was more shyness and nervousness.

How could this be?

It’s all this guy’s fault, looking so honest at first, who would’ve thought he was so cunning, always saying confusing things!

If I restore my cultivation, how should I treat him?

"Wife, are you asleep?"

The guy’s voice came to her ear, Qiu Zhihe closed her eyes, ignoring him.

He chuckled, lowered his head, and kissed Qiu Zhihe on the side of her face.

"Wife, I’m sleeping too."

Qiu Zhihe’s body felt numb, her heart annoyed and bewildered, yet she unknowingly fell asleep in the warm embrace.

...

Next day.

"Wife, what do you think of Pei Daoyu?"

A family of three having breakfast, Qin Gengyun asked Qiu Zhihe.

He had already recounted in detail the Magical Combat with Chang Chunzi and how Pei Daoyu appeared afterwards.

Qiu Zhihe said without hesitation, "This person is not trustworthy."

Qin Gengyun nodded, "I think so too."

Liu Su was puzzled, "That Pei Daoyu stabbed Chang Chunzi and wants to give the Alchemy Workshop to you, what’s not trustworthy about that?"

Qin Gengyun said, "He was very close with Chang Chunzi, with Chang Chunzi dead, the Chang Family would first suspect him, he couldn’t distance himself."

"Besides, most likely it was he who incited Chang Chunzi to find me. Seeing how ruthless I am, with Chang Chunzi dead, he guessed I wouldn’t spare him."

"Rather than waiting to die, he’d rather turn to me, stabbing Chang Chunzi was to offer a pledge of allegiance, giving me the Spirit Pill Workshop was to bind me to him."

"If the Chang Family investigates, they will naturally find that the biggest beneficiary after Chang Chunzi’s death is actually me, then the Chang Family’s attention will naturally turn to me."

"For him, the best scenarios are two, one is me being considered the killer by the Chang Family and being killed by them, thus he’s distanced from the incident, maybe even benefits, continuing to cling to the Chang Family."

"The other is me overcoming the Chang Family, and he benefiting by following me."

"Considering this, handing over a small Spirit Pill Workshop places him in an unbeatable position, it’s really worth it."

"Damn!" Liu Su gaped, "Is this man that treacherous?"

Then pointed at Qin Gengyun, "You too, your head is full of tricks! Miss, you have to be careful, you might not even realize it when he sells you out!"

Qin Gengyun smiled wryly, "I never had these schemes before, it’s all for survival."

Qiu Zhihe lowered her head to eat without speaking.

Today, Liu Su was still supposed to give Qin Gengyun a medicinal bath, Qin Gengyun went to undress in the bathing room first, Qiu Zhihe suddenly pulled Liu Su into the kitchen and asked:

"What’s the background of the Chang Family?"

She was the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect, her peers at least elders or Sect Leaders of several Major Sects, she hadn’t even heard of such a small family as the Chang Family.

Liu Su blinked, "Saintess, you’re asking the right person, I’ve heard many people talk about the Chang Family back when I was at Yihong House."

"The Chang Family is in Xingluo Town, they are said to even be the managers of Xingluo Town, their ancestors seem to have produced a Golden Core Realm, not much in front of masters, but enough to bully those below Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators."

Qiu Zhihe said, "How many people are there in the Chang Family?"

Liu Su’s eyes widened, covering her mouth with her hands:

"No way, Saintess! Are you going to wipe out the Chang Family for that guy?"

Qiu Zhihe didn’t say anything, and Liu Su hurriedly advised:

"Saintess, calm down! Although the Chang Family is just a third-rate small family, their connections are wide, if you really wipe out the Chang Family, it will certainly attract attention. Your cultivation hasn’t recovered, you can’t take this risk!"

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, then said, "I know what I’m doing, go quickly."

"Okay."

Liu Su agreed and headed to the bathing room, looked back and saw Qiu Zhihe’s petite figure exuding an exceptionally strong murderous aura.

Sigh.

Just because they might pose a threat to your husband, you’ve decided to exterminate their entire family.

Liu Su sighed.

Saintess, should I say you are decisive in killing, or should I say you are love-brained?

"Susu."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly called out to Liu Su.

"Miss, what’s up?"

Liu Su stopped, Qiu Zhihe’s eyes flickered with coldness:

"Put your clothes back on."

"Oh, got it."

Liu Su shrank her neck, wearing an extra coat, wrapping herself up tightly before entering the bathing room.

Once Liu Su went in, Qiu Zhihe’s almond eyes slightly narrowed.

"The Chang Family, Pei Daoyu..."
