Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 223 - 28: I Am Not Jealous!

Midnight.

In the past, Xingluo Town was still bustling at this hour.

But at this moment, the street outside the inn has become quiet.

Yesterday, the Chang Family was wiped out, the Chang Family Patriarch turned into a demonic beast and devoured the residents of Xingluo Town, and a thousand spirit corpses attacked Xingluo Town.

This news has already spread to nearby towns and will soon reach Zhenyang Sect.

The prosperous Xingluo Town was also affected; some cultivators heading to the Northern Wilderness chose not to stay overnight as usual, and instead, left the town at night, preferring to sleep outdoors.

After all, Xingluo Town is unsettled at this moment, the guardian is dead, and a large number of spirit corpses have appeared; who knows what other disturbances will arise.

"My daughter! You died so horribly!"

"My lady, my lady! How can you leave me alone?"

"Chang Shengzi, give me back my wife! You should be chopped into pieces and sent to Abi Hell, never to reincarnate!!"

On the quiet street, the grieving families of female cultivators occasionally mourned and wept in a way that was heart-wrenching when they paid tribute.

"My lady, I soaked for a whole day yesterday; do I really need to bathe again?"

In the room of Xingyun Inn, Qin Gengyun was saying to Qiu Zhihe, who was sitting by the bed.

He had just come out of Mo Xiaolan’s room and returned to his room with Qiu Zhihe, intending to go to bed, but Qiu Zhihe stopped him and demanded he bathe before sleeping with her.

Upon hearing his words, Qiu Zhihe said lightly:

"I don’t like the smell of other women."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback and finally understood; his wife disliked the notion that he would carry the scent of other women after bathing with three ladies. Helplessly, he chuckled and walked to the bed, extending his hand before Qiu Zhihe:

"My dear, smell me, there’s no strange odor!"

Qiu Zhihe turned away coldly, looking disdainful.

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to obediently go take a bath.

Coming out, he donned his robe and went to bed; by now, Qiu Zhihe had already removed her outer garments and lay down. Qin Gengyun slipped under the thin blanket, embracing her soft body.

Qiu Zhihe no longer wore a cold face but gently leaned towards his embrace, quiet and snug together like a couple.

Peaceful and warm, tranquil and soft.

"My lady."

Qin Gengyun suddenly spoke:

"Thank you for understanding my friendship with Mo Xiaolan and allowing me to catch up with her."

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, lifting her head slightly, her eyes gleaming coldly:

"You’re already calling each other by name?"

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, not expecting his wife to be so sensitive, hurriedly saying:

"My dear, don’t misunderstand. She and I are just friends; Mo Xiaolan has long said she will neither marry nor pursue dual cultivation; her life seeks only the Great Dao."

"I know, I’m not misunderstanding."

Qiu Zhihe snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Qin Gengyun was stunned, cautiously leaning in to look at her face, but was pushed away by Qiu Zhihe’s small hand, and her petite body withdrew from his embrace, turning her back on him without speaking again.

Qin Gengyun was speechless, saying, "My dear, weren’t we just fine a moment ago? Why are you suddenly angry?"

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, still turning her back to him, with a cold tone that was somewhat exasperated: "At the Chang Mansion, surrounded by spirit corpses, you left me to save her."

Qin Gengyun was dumbfounded; was this an autumnal reckoning?

He hurriedly said, "No, my dear, you’re so powerful, those spirit corpses couldn’t harm you in the slightest. At that time, Mo Xiaolan and Si Minglan, Xiaoxue, and they were defenseless; I naturally had to save them."

"Right."

Qiu Zhihe laughed sarcastically:

"And there’s also Si Minglan and your Xiaoxue."

"..."

Qin Gengyun was dumbfounded; how did this get even more involved?

Meanwhile, Qiu Zhihe continued the reckoning: "They were swallowed underground by the Earth Mole, and you rushed down without hesitation. Do you know how worried I was? What would I do if you were in danger?"

"My dear, I’m sorry, I acted impulsively at the moment."

Qin Gengyun moved closer, intending to hug Qiu Zhihe from behind, but she turned and pushed him away with her small hands, then turned her back to him again.

It seems she’s really angry this time.

Qin Gengyun was puzzled and said:

"My dear, you asked Susu and me to heal Si Minglan and Fang Xue yesterday; today, you let me go catch up with Mo Xiaolan on your own initiative. I thought you weren’t jealous; how come suddenly..."

Qiu Zhihe snorted coldly: "I am your wife; of course I must save face for you in front of outsiders. But that doesn’t mean I’m not angry!"

"Also, I’m not jealous at all!"

The more Qiu Zhihe spoke, the angrier she became, suddenly turning around to kick Qin Gengyun off the bed!

"You’re sleeping on the floor tonight!"

With that, she turned her back and tightly wrapped herself in the quilt, clearly not leaving any for Qin Gengyun.

"My dear, my dear, I was wrong! Please let me sleep on the bed!"

Qin Gengyun rubbed his rear as he got up, trying to sneak back onto the bed, but was bounced back. Looking up, he saw a flash of light in front of the bed, a Guardian Array had appeared.

"Seriously?"

Qin Gengyun was speechless, did his wife actually set up an array?

Qin Gengyun, resigned, lay on the floor, pitifully saying:

"My dear, the nights are cold and lonely; won’t you let us share a quilt?"

Qiu Zhihe was already a bit soft-hearted, but suddenly hearing this somewhat familiar phrase, she snorted coldly and ignored him.

"My dear, my dear, can you truly bear to let me sleep on the floor?"

"My dear, my dear..."

...

"Senior Sister, have you decided?"

"Decided. There’s more than just the Celestial Beast Record among the Demon Sect’s evil techniques. I heard the Cyan Lotus Sect Leader’s relic is in the Northern Wilderness. I’ll seek it there; life or death, it’s better than being controlled by your master and living under others’ whims."

"Alright, Senior Sister, can you let go of my hand now?"

On the bed in the next room, Fang Xue said, blushing.

Si Minglan chuckled, retracting her hand: "Little Sister, we’ve bathed together several times, and you’re still shy?"

She had made up her mind and saw things clearly, returning to her previous charming and bold demeanor while teasing Fang Xue.

"Third Senior Sister, I..."

Fang Xue turned over under the quilt, her clear eyes filled with confusion in the dark:

"I don’t understand, why did Senior Sister betray you to Senior Brother Zheng, and why did Senior Brother Zheng do that? Isn’t Zhenyang Sect a renowned and righteous sect?"

Si Minglan laughed softly: "Ye Xiyue has her eyes only on herself, and on top of that, she practices the Supreme Heart-Severing Sword. The higher you cultivate this technique, the more heartless and unfeeling you become. It’s not just fellow sect sisters, even mentors, elders, and her parents she could discard at any moment."

The more Fang Xue listened, the more bewildered she became: "Such heartlessness and lack of loyalty, isn’t that worse than the Demon Sect techniques?"

"Ha ha ha!"

Seeing her wide-eyed and puzzled expression, Si Minglan couldn’t help but laugh, wrapping her arms around Fang Xue’s slender waist:

"Little Sister, you’re too cute. So-called Righteous Path, Demon Sect, these aren’t about justice and evil but about strength and weakness. The strong are the Righteous Path, the weak are the Demon Sect."

"Whether it’s Righteous Techniques or Demon Sect Evil Techniques, if one wishes to achieve Ascension, they must ultimately become heartless and unfeeling!"

"Haven’t you heard the story of Zhenyang Sect’s progenitor, Zhenyang?"

"In his humble beginnings, he was deeply and passionately loved by Sheng Tanglian, the Cyan Lotus Sect Leader of that time. Sheng Tanglian expended her efforts to pave a path for him unto the heavens."

"And in the end, Zhenyang personally killed Sheng Tanglian, thus becoming the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, achieving Ascension."

"Without such heartlessness and lack of sentiment, how could one ascend?"

Fang Xue was stunned, murmuring:

"If I wish to ascend, do I have to become heartless and unfeeling? But I seek the Dao to let my parents and I achieve immortality together!"

"If I’m already heartless and unfeeling, how can I even remember my father and mother?"
