My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 307 - 184: Intimate Phoenix
Boom!
The whips filling the sky disappeared, and Song Yiren's True Qi Shield shattered along with them.
Both of them took a step back and looked at each other from a distance, their chests heaving slightly.
However, Song Yiren's heaving was just slight.
Li Anning's slight heaving was full of a sense of oppression.
Li Nuo, carrying the paints he had bought, silently walked between them.
Being weak had its advantages, watching them fight, he needed not help, nor could he help either.
The first meeting between Li Anning and Song Yiren ended with a fight and they parted on bad terms.
Song Yiren snorted coldly and brushed off her sleeves as she left.
She walked into a small courtyard and exclaimed angrily, "This is infuriating!"
First annoyed by Song Jiaren, then by that busty woman, and she was helpless against both of them, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Song Ning'er was practicing her cultivation; curiously, she asked, "Master sister, what happened?"
Song Yiren gritted her teeth and said, "That busty woman, just you wait, someday I'll make you beg for mercy in front of me!"
"Busty woman?" Song Ning'er thought for a moment and said, "Master sister, are you talking about Sister Anning? Did you have an argument?"
"Sister Anning?"
Song Yiren frowned, was she Li Anning, 'the princess who could make all other ladies in the Imperial Palace seem colorless with a single smile'?
Her strange way of attacking just now must have been Legalism methods; if she hadn't been so dizzy with irritation from Song Jiaren, she should have recognized it immediately.
What 'makes all other ladies seem colorless with a smile'—aside from having bigger breasts, what else does she have?
And that 'yearning crazily after a day apart' Phoenix, how does Song Jiaren even fulfill her role as a wife, snatching her husband and not keeping him in check, allowing him to flirt around like that.
If she had stayed at Song Residence, he definitely wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet any Phoenix or Princess; he could only write poetry for her, play the guqin for her, and paint only for her!
After being angry for a while, Song Yiren gradually regained some rationality.
Actually—it wasn't all Song Jiaren's fault.
Cultivating the Yuqing Heart Technique to the fourth realm, although it doesn't sever all emotional ties, indeed makes one much more detached than normal people.
She understood that feeling.
Initially, when her mother had instructed her to cultivate the Yuqing Heart Technique, she heard from her elder sect sisters that after cultivating it, one could not marry nor experience the joys of womanhood, so she secretly cultivated another method while her mother was secluded.
By the time she found out, it was already too late.
Her meridians had been opened, and it was impossible to switch to cultivating the Yuqing Heart Technique. Although her reckless actions back then had led to a severe punishment, and each time she recalled it she would wake up from dreams startled, she did not regret her decision.
Thinking this way, Song Jiaren actually seemed rather pitiable.
But even if pitiable, she shouldn't snatch her husband...
They hadn't reached the final step yet; she still had a chance.
If the two were not fated, Heaven wouldn't have, eighteen years ago among a pile of stuff, allowed her to pick up that marriage contract specifically.
Yet, Song Jiaren had cultivated the Yuqing Heart Technique and still made such a choice.
It showed she genuinely loved her husband.

Song Yiren clenched her fists secretly.
Although temporarily Song Jiaren had seized the initiative.
But she had not lost yet...
At that moment, in another small courtyard.
Li Anning's expression became somewhat awkward when facing Li Nuo and Song Jiaren.
The courage she had just mustered was interrupted by Song Yiren, recalling the last incident, her face turned red, and feeling somewhat at a loss, she lowered her head and muttered, "Sister Jiaren, I..."
Song Jiaren looked at her, gently shook her head, and said, "Let's forget about it."
Li Anning suddenly looked up, surprised, and asked, "You've forgiven me?"
Song Jiaren softly replied, "There's no need to mention past matters."
Though she was indeed somewhat angry at the time, without those words, she wouldn't have come to some realizations.
Li Anning didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly; she had readied herself to be scolded or ignored, yet she unexpectedly gained her forgiveness so easily.
The sisters bore an identical appearance, but their personalities were entirely different as heaven and earth.
Li Nuo continued painting, occasionally glancing at his wife and Li Anning admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
Perhaps only his wife had such magnanimity.
Li Anning should feel lucky she practiced the Yuqing Heart Technique; otherwise, the person she'd be facing might have been Song Yiren.
He should take the chance to ask Li Anning about it—Imperial Palace should have many Martial Path experts, and countless Martial Path Classics saved; perhaps there's a solution concerning the Yuqing Heart Technique.
His wife was called away by the Old Lady, Li Nuo stepped out of the room and exchanged glances with Li Anning; both tacitly avoiding mentioning the incident from a few days ago.
Li Nuo walked over to her, saying, "Do me a favor..."
Since forcefully kissing him, being with him made Li Anning feel shy; after hearing his request, she immediately responded, "I'll go right now..."
In the main hall of Song Residence.
Old Mrs. Song held Song Jiaren with one hand and Song Yiren with the other, bringing their hands together, saying, "If it weren't for the grievances of your parents back then, you should have grown up together like sisters, just like Mumu and Ning'er..."
After reminiscing for a bit, she gently patted their hands, saying, "Now that Yiren has returned to the Song Family, you must love each other dearly from now on. Jiaren is the elder sister; if Yiren does something wrong, you should be more forgiving..."
The Song Family truly owed Yiren too much, as long as she didn't bring up the old marriage issue, they would try their best to fulfill any of her requests.
Song Jiaren didn't say much, merely nodded slightly.
Song Yiren lowered her head, softly saying, "I've just returned home, I don't understand a lot of things, if I do something wrong, I hope sister won't blame me..."
Old Mrs. Song held their hands, saying, "This old body has waited and waited and finally seen Yiren return, Jiaren and Yiren, come with your grandmother to the Holy Mother Temple to fulfill a vow..."
Old Lady took Mumu and Song Yiren out, while Li Nuo waited at home for a two-hour period, before Li Anning came back again.
She handed a booklet to Li Nuo.
As Li Nuo had thought, within the Imperial Palace, there indeed were records about the Yuqing Heart Technique.
However, the Martial Path Classics in the palace didn't have many records about the Yuqing Heart Technique.
What Li Anning knew wasn't much different from what Song Yiren had told her.
As the top Heart Method of the Yuqing lineage in the Sanqing Sect, it was originally intended for female disciples with outstanding talents. At the initial stage of cultivation, it indeed had a significant enhancement effect, but its greatest advantage was also its biggest drawback.
Yuqing True Qi, extremely yin and pure, once intersected with yang energy and contaminated, it would no longer be possible to continue the cultivation.
Though one's cultivation wouldn't be completely lost, there would be no further growth in True Qi.
To continue enhancing prowess, the only way was to switch to another cultivation technique, and the meridian pathways of this technique must not overlap with those of the Yuqing Heart Technique.
But switching to another cultivation technique meant starting over, the earlier cultivation wasn't entirely wasted, yet it also lost the potential to advance further in the Martial Path.
The booklet didn't record a solution to this problem.
It just mentioned that, at a certain time, the Sanqing Sect had many extremely talented female disciples who practiced the Yuqing Heart Technique, but ultimately couldn't resist experiencing the love between a man and a woman, causing their cultivation to stagnate.
The Yuqing Heart Technique, although it suppressed emotions.
The more forcefully it suppressed, once it erupted, it was like a flood, uncontrollable.
Moreover, the process of cultivating the Yuqing Heart Technique also suppressed emotions, which was contrary to traditional beliefs and incredibly inhumane.
Later, the Sanqing Sect simply forbade its disciples from practicing the Yuqing Heart Technique. Other top cultivation techniques, although slower than the Yuqing Heart Technique, didn't have such deadly flaws.
Jiaren's mother was indeed ruthless.
No wonder Lord Father-in-law parted ways with her, making such a decision indicated that she was an extreme and radical person all along.
Li Anning curiously asked, "Why are you asking about this? Who is practicing the Yuqing Heart Technique?"
Li Nuo didn't explain further but asked, "How's your situation?"
Li Anning rolled her eyes, saying, "How could it be? The Sixth-Ranking Scholar was monopolized by you. They won't let me marry or stay unmarried, only waiting for Father Emperor to come out of seclusion to decide. This matter can be dragged out for a long time, thank you…"
Li Nuo looked at her, saying, "You…"
Li Anning immediately said, "I have other things to deal with, I need to go first!"
She turned her head and ran out, while Li Nuo put away the booklet, planning to go out to clear his mind.
Recently, too many things had happened, first Li Anning, then Song Yiren. Especially the latter had messed up his mind, leaving him mentally disordered.
He left the Song Residence and walked on the streets of Chang'an, unknowingly arriving at the doorstep of the Jade Sound Pavilion.
Not long ago, Phoenix had also taken over the shops on both sides of the Jade Sound Pavilion, and it was now fully renovated, expanding the storefront by more than three times, successfully becoming a top-tier Music Workshop in Chang'an.
The entire first floor was filled with guests.
Some of it was due to the reputation, but Phoenix's composition skills were indeed extraordinary, attracting many guests here just to listen to the music.
Shortly after, on the second floor of the Jade Sound Pavilion.
Li Nuo sipped his tea, saying, "Sorry, there was just too much happening yesterday, I didn't have time to take care of you all…"
Phoenix smiled, she didn't really mind that matter.
She was even a little happy.
Being treated so casually only if one is considered a true friend.
She looked at Li Nuo, saying, "It's alright, Young Master obtained the Sixth-Ranking Scholar, there must have been a lot of people coming to congratulate in these two days, it's normal that you couldn't attend to all…"
Li Nuo sighed lightly, wishing it was just for that reason.
Phoenix was slightly stunned, asking, "Why sigh, Young Master? Is there some other trouble bothering you?"
She blinked, whispering, "If Young Master doesn't mind, perhaps you can share with me, maybe I can help Young Master find some solutions…"
Li Nuo originally had a friend by his side with whom he could share his thoughts.
But later, their friendship turned sour.
Li Anning would run away upon seeing him, some words he couldn't speak to her either.
But keeping it all in was truly suffocating.
Phoenix was actually a good confidant, gentle and caring, and she was an outsider. Li Nuo didn't expect her to solve his problems, but having someone to talk to was good.
Shortly after, Phoenix looked astonished, murmuring, "Such a thing actually happened?"
She looked at Li Nuo, asking, "So you mean to say, you were originally supposed to marry Miss Song's sister?"
Li Nuo nodded.
Phoenix laughed lightly, saying, "It's no surprise that Miss Yiren likes Young Master, who among the world's maidens wouldn't want to marry a Sixth-Ranking Scholar? If it weren't for Phoenix's low status, I would also compete with Miss Song…"
Li Nuo glanced at her, saying, "I'm already fed up, stop making those cold remarks."
Phoenix restrained her smile, saying, "Actually, there's a way to stop Miss Yiren from continuing her pursuit."
Li Nuo raised an eyebrow, asking, "What way?"
Phoenix said, "Since the two of you were betrothed early on, why hasn't she appeared all these years? It's simply because she thought Young Master was foolish and not worthy of her. If you weren't a Sixth-Ranking Scholar, she might not even compete with Miss Song."
Li Nuo asked, "What do you mean?"
Phoenix smiled, saying, "Why not stage a play, test her, see if Miss Yiren would still want to be with you if you were back to your previous self. If Miss Jiaren was loyal to you even before you became a Sixth-Ranking Scholar, would Miss Yiren still want to be with you? If she isn't willing, by the time the truth is revealed, she probably won't have the face to mention it again…"
A glint appeared in Li Nuo's eyes.
Phoenix's suggestion didn't sound bad…
He needed to go back and contemplate it.
Li Nuo hurriedly left, and the nightingale walked in from outside, asking, "What if she still wants him by then?"
Phoenix sighed, saying, "Then there's nothing that can be done, they had a marriage agreement from the beginning, and she's so passionate and loyal. How could such a devoted and loyal woman be let down?"
