The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 549 - 548: A Married Man with Children

The cold and noble beauty looked especially good when he smiled.

Qin Zhao found herself staring at him uncontrollably until Chen Wu said, "That’s quite a large egg you have there, we could stir-fry it for dinner, probably enough for several people to share."

"No, this egg can’t be eaten."

Qin Zhao tucked the Dragon Egg closer to her chest and asked Chu Yan, "Do you have an empty room here?"

"Yes."

Chu Yan pointed in a direction.

Qin Zhao led the child over, but halfway there, she stopped.

"Can he stay? He got separated from his father, and I need to help him find his father."

Yu Yu blinked his eyes and called out to Chu Yan, "Uncle! I will be very well-behaved!"

"...." Chu Yan cleared his throat lightly, "I don’t like to keep idlers, at most I can provide him with a place to stay, but you must take care of his daily needs."

"He’s just a child; he can share a room with me."

Chu Yan’s brows knitted slightly, "I’m not short of rooms here, he can live on his own."

"Oh, that works too."

To thank Chu Yan for taking them in, Qin Zhao planned to cover the cost of the Spirit Stones for groceries from now on.

"What are we having for dinner?"

"You go buy the groceries. Whatever you buy is what we’ll eat."

Chu Yan had intended to go grocery shopping, but felt the gesture might be overly obliging, so he still sent Qin Zhao instead.

"Then I’m off."

After Qin Zhao left, the few people in the courtyard looked at each other.

Yu Yu asked Chu Yan in a soft voice, "Daddy, will mother discover our relationship? If she finds out, what will we say?"

"It’s fine as long as she doesn’t discover it for now."

Originally, Chu Yan had planned for Yu Yu to first make contact with Qin Zhao, and then have the child bring Qin Zhao to him. But today, they unexpectedly encountered Chen Wu, and Qin Zhao had even asked about his affairs.

So Chu Yan changed his mind and had Chen Wu bring Qin Zhao over first.

He had no intention of letting Qin Zhao know about his relationship with Yu Yu; he felt that a man with a child might not be able to woo Qin Zhao, and he didn’t know how to explain it to her either.

"You forgot yourself, but how could you even forget your child?"

Chen Wu took a sip from the wine bottle he held.

"I can’t help but forget. When I was giving birth, I almost lost my life."

Yu Yu felt somewhat downcast upon hearing this.

"It’s all Yu Yu’s fault, almost causing mother’s death."

Chu Yan looked down at him and although he sometimes missed Qin Zhao and resented the child, after all, he was the flesh and blood of him and Qin Zhao.

"Don’t think like that, your mother once said she has never regretted having you."

"Giving birth is dangerous; it might not be because of the child. I think it has to do with her soul," Chen Wu added, "Her soul is fragmented."

The soul that Chu Yan saved back then was not intact.

When she fell, not only was her physical body destroyed, but her soul shattered into pieces.

It took all of Chu Yan’s effort to collect these soul fragments.

He sought many people and tried many ways, but none could reconstitute these soul pieces.

At last, he found the Emperor of the Netherworld, who finally reassembled the soul.

Then, he sent the soul into the Mortal World, allowing her to be reborn from death.

"After a while, I will make a trip to the Immortal Realm to investigate this matter."

If the Immortal Emperor really had some of Qin Zhao’s residual souls, as long as the Immortal Emperor used that object, Chu Yan would be able to sense it.

"What is that thing?"

"I didn’t see it clearly, but it had the aura of the Heavenly Dao on it. All these years, the reason why the Immortal Emperor is the Immortal Emperor is because he can communicate with the Heavenly Dao, unmatched within the Six Realms.

Perhaps, he will use that thing only during a crisis."

Chu Yan still couldn’t understand why Qin Zhao’s soul was in the hands of the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor was so powerful, and Qin Zhao was just an ordinary cultivator, why would he covet Qin Zhao’s soul?

Wouldn’t it be better to use the soul of Cheng Wu, the former War God?

-

Qin Zhao went to the vegetable market, bustling with people coming and going.

Not all cultivators in the Cultivation World can abstain from eating; only those in the Golden Core Stage could practice fasting, so those below the Golden Core Stage still need to eat.

Besides common food ingredients, this place also sold Demon Beast meat and common Spirit Plants.

But the meat of Demon Beasts and Spirit Plants were expensive, not something ordinary people could afford.

Qin Zhao bought a lot of vegetables, eagerly wanting to try Chu Yan’s cooking skills.

She wondered if his other dishes would taste similar to those in her memory.

"Miss, I have a special kind of meat here, eating it can even increase your cultivation. And it’s not just a little boost, it can take someone from Qi Cultivation straight to Foundation Establishment, interested in taking a look?"

After buying the Demon Beast meat, the stall owner said to her with a mysterious face.

"This item is not commonly seen, I don’t tell just anyone about it."

The stall owner had noticed Qin Zhao early on; when she came to buy vegetables, she bought anything she liked without caring about the price.

She was clearly a rich lady, which is why he approached Qin Zhao.

"It is a bit pricey, but for a young lady like you, it should be a small matter."

The stall owner said with a smile, his eyes full of a merchant’s shrewdness.

"Such incredible meat, bring it out for me to see."

Qin Zhao was genuinely interested.

Could it be the flesh of some powerful high-level Demon Beast?

Indeed, the flesh and blood of certain Demon Beasts could enhance one’s cultivation level.

"I can’t bring it out, I’ll take you inside to have a look."

The stall owner’s stall was right in front of his house, he motioned for Qin Zhao to follow him inside.

Qin Zhao followed him in, the smell of blood strong in her nostrils.

There were large chunks of freshly slaughtered Demon Beast meat on the table inside the house.

"It’s further inside, still inside. This item can’t be seen by people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, or there will be trouble."

This city was somewhat far from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but it was still under its jurisdiction.

In the Cultivation World, only the areas where Mortals resided were divided into countries, and the cities where cultivators stayed were governed by sects.

Qin Zhao followed the stall owner into the inner room.

The owner took a yellow cloth package from a cabinet, with some blood seeping through the cloth.

"This is it, full of blood energy. You can feel the dense Spiritual Energy as well, right?"

Qin Zhao opened the yellow cloth package and saw a chunk of flesh larger than a man’s fist, covered in fresh blood.

"Miss, do you know what a Cloud Splitting Beast is? This is the heart of a Cloud Splitting Beast."

Qin Zhao narrowed her eyes, her gaze flickering with uncertainty, "Cloud Splitting Beast is an advanced Demon Beast, only cultivators in the Golden Core Stage can handle it, how did you manage to get its heart with your cultivation level?"

"Somebody caught it and then handed it to me to help sell."

"Since that’s the case, why can’t the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect know about it?"

"Those dogs of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect aren’t any good, sometimes they take things without paying, how could I let them see such a treasure?"

"I see."

"So, do you want it?"

"I don’t want it, I don’t like eating internal organs."

Qin Zhao covered the yellow cloth package and handed it back to the stall owner.

The stall owner’s face fell with disappointment, "Alright, it seems I will have to find the next person with fate."

Qin Zhao walked towards the outside of the house, just reaching the stall area, when a piercing scream suddenly came from the inner room.
