Yunling Town.
Caifeng Street.
In a Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion that recently gained an owner.
In the spacious bedroom, a Glazed Everlasting Lamp hung from above, illuminating the large bed below that could accommodate four or five people with great detail.
Under the light blue lotus quilt, a couple embraced each other. The wife’s charming and petite round face still bore a blush, her slightly disheveled long hair scattered on her husband’s shoulder, breathing lightly and appearing even more delicate.
"Dear, are you feeling better now?"
Qin Gengyun lowered his head and gently asked the lovely person in his arms.
The training ti was just extended to four hundred breaths; indeed, it was quite a challenge for his wife. Qin Gengyun felt tender inside, worried that it might be too much for her.
Qiu Zhihe buried her head in his embrace, her glistening, round earlobes still tinged with a blush, and she gently shook her head.
Ever since Qiu Zhihe promised last ti not to extinguish the candle during cultivation, almost every ti the two of them did it with the candle lit.
But this Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion was different from the cheap rental room at Narrow Rain Lane; every room had a Glazed Lamp, the light was too bright, and Qiu Zhihe was not used to it.
However, when Qin Gengyun said, "I want to keep looking at your face," she let him have his way.
Thinking back now, with such detail just monts ago, she couldn’t help but be so shy that she didn’t dare lift her head.
"Dear, on our moving day joy, should we invite my colleagues and your friends to celebrate?"
Seeing her so shy, Qin Gengyun found his dear wife even more adorable and suddenly leaned down to whisper in her ear.
Qiu Zhihe’s ear was suddenly attacked; her body shivered lightly, and she quickly moved away from Qin Gengyun, only then calming down a bit, and asked puzzledly:
"My friends?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Yes, when you went to buy groceries that day, besides Chen Fang, there were many female cultivators. I saw that they were quite good to you. Inviting them to gather at our ho would enhance friendships, and when I am not at ho, you wouldn’t feel lonely."
Qiu Zhihe’s small mouth slightly opened, she wanted to refuse.
She was the Demon Sect Saintess; how could she need friends?
But upon seeing Qin Gengyun’s gentle smile, the words changed as they reached her lips.
"Okay."
Qin Gengyun was delighted: "Then I’ll send the invitations out tomorrow."
Qiu Zhihe nodded her head. Suddenly, she felt her body lighten, the quilt covering her had already been lifted, and then her body soared into the air, unexpectedly being carried down from the bed by Qin Gengyun.
"Ah!"
Qiu Zhihe exclaid lightly, her hands futilely moving up and down to cover herself, until finally, she could only cover her face.
"What, what are you doing?"
Qin Gengyun said: "Dear, we’ve sweated quite a lot, why not bathe together? That bathtub has yet to be used."
Qiu Zhihe trembled: "No... Su Su will see it."
If Liu Su were to see this, how would she face it?
Qin Gengyun laughed: "It’s already midnight now; Susu loves to sleep and has already gone to bed."
Qiu Zhihe covered her face and did not make another sound; seemingly, she had acquiesced. Qin Gengyun was overjoyed, carrying her dear wife out of the bedroom. The lights outside were already off, and it was pitch dark, indicating that Susu had indeed gone to sleep.
Qiu Zhihe let out a breath, and loosened the fingers covering her face as Qin Gengyun carried her to the bathroom, gently placing her in the bathtub, and softly said to her:
"Dear, you may release the water."
Qiu Zhihe responded with a hum, placing her delicate hand on the small Array beside the bathtub, injecting Spiritual Power, and soon, the tub was filled with pleasantly warm water.
This was the "Life Water Array" that Qiu Zhihe drew during the day, allowing water to be generated by injecting Spiritual Power into it, also for the family’s convenience in bathing.
Unexpectedly, it beca a web of her own making, not only having to accompany him in bathing but also using the Array she drew to release water.
Qin Gengyun there also lit up the bathroom’s Glazed Lamp, and the light suddenly brightened, causing Qiu Zhihe to utter a sound again and cover her face.
The sound of water splashing beside her, Qin Gengyun had already sat into the tub, gently hugging her.
"Dear, you are nad Zhihe, I’m planning to plant so lotuses in the pond. What do you think?"
Qiu Zhihe’s body slightly stiffened, involuntarily recalling the lotus pond at the peak of Cyan Lotus Mountain, blooming full of lotuses every sumr and fall.
When she was a child, she loved sneaking into the lotus pond with Liu Su and others to dig for lotus roots, every ti being caught by the master, always leading to a good reprimand.
Just a pity, that pool of lotuses, when the Three Great Sects raided Cyan Lotus Mountain, was set ablaze.
"Zhihe, what’s wrong?"
A gentle voice rang in her ear, Qiu Zhihe embraced his waist with both arms, her cheek pressed tightly to his chest and murmured:
"Husband, I love lotuses, but I don’t know how to grow them."
Qin Gengyun gently held her white jade-like back and softly said:
"It’s alright, we can plant them together. If we plant them this year, by next sumr, we will get to see a full pond of lotuses."
Next year?
Qiu Zhihe closed her eyes.
She didn’t know whether she’d have a chance to see a full pond of blooming lotuses next year.
However, regardless of the future, she just wanted to be an ordinary wife now, living peaceful days with her husband.
Even if it’s one day at a ti.
"Yawn~~ Huh? Why is the light inside still on?"
At this mont, Liu Su’s bedroom door opened, a girl with disheveled hair walked out, groggily heading to the toilet, spotting the bathroom light on as she passed by, curiously peering inside.
"Ah!"
"Wow! It’s so big!"
Two won’s exclamations sounded, Qiu Zhihe was mortified with embarrassnt, while Liu Su was excited and thrilled.
Bang!
Qiu Zhihe raised her hand, with Spiritual Power surging out, the Glazed Lamp hanging overhead was knocked down and shattered.
The bathroom suddenly beca dark.
"Susu, aren’t you going to sleep?"
An icy voice rang out.
"Miss, I’ll go back to sleep right away!" Liu Su shivered promptly, darting back to her room.
"Dear..."
"Don’t think I’ll ever do such a shaful thing with you again!"
"Dear, don’t be mad, it was just an accident!"
...
...
Bedroom.
After twelve tis of four hundred breaths.
Qin Gengyun fatigued to the extre, already drifted off into deep slumber.
A delicate and petite figure sat up, leaped off the bed, and looked down at Qin Gengyun’s face, her eyes full of tenderness.
However, as that petite figure slowly grew taller, her jet-black silky hair transford into fiery red, and her clear almond-shaped eyes turned into peach blossom eyes; the tenderness in her eyes was no longer there, only icy murderous intent remaining.
"Qiu Zhihe, you foolishly crave temporary stability but lack the determination to eliminate those who might jeopardize it, how silly."
In the next mont, the red shadow flashed, already standing on the roof of the Immortal Mansion.
After a silent pause, the red shadow flitted, heading toward the inn where Si Minglan and Fang Xue stayed.
...
Inn.
"Xiaoxue’Er, co, co, finish this glass, there are three more to go!"
"Alright, Third Sister, let’s keep drinking!"
"hehe, Xiaoxue’Er is so obedient!"
In Si Minglan’s room, the sll of alcohol perated, Si Minglan held a jar of wine and took hefty gulps while urging Fang Xue to drink with her.
Since returning from Narrow Rain Lane today, Si Minglan had remained silent, suddenly pulling Fang Xue to drink together at night.
Due to her parents’ affairs, Fang Xue was also distressed, ending up drowning her worries in alcohol alongside Si Minglan.
Drinking until late at night, both of them got increasingly intoxicated, swaying and wobbling, completely losing the dignified poise of Zhenyang Sect’s fairies.
After pouring down another jar of wine, Si Minglan’s face turned red like peach blossoms. She looked at Fang Xue, who was also unsteady, and asked:
"Xiaoxue’Er, when the head sister asked whether Qin Gengyun and his wife were suspicious, what do you think I should say?"
