"Foolish!"
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger as she raised her delicate hand and ford an isolation array, enveloping the small mountain peak.
The fact that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden recognized her was of no consequence, as this woman was destined to beco her husband’s servant sooner or later.
But if this servant was brainless, speaking recklessly and exposing her and Qin Gengyun’s identities, then such a foolish servant might as well be killed to ensure safety.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, suddenly insulted, was furious, and the magnificent mountains and rivers trembled violently:
"Xia Qinglian, don’t push too far! I am now in the Nascent Soul Realm and have awakened the power of the Divine Phoenix. Today, let’s settle our score once and for all!"
Back then, full of confidence, she ascended Cyan Lotus Mountain to challenge the prodigy of the era, Xia Qinglian, hoping to make a na for herself, conquer the South Demon lands, and revive the might of her ancient ancestors.
However, before the princess could start her enterprise, she was abruptly halted before she had even begun. Her ambition to dominate the South Demon was crushed in the first step, and she was slapped back by Xia Qinglian in an instant.
That self-assured battle ended in only thirty monts.
Since then, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden fled back to Celestial Phoenix Mountain, her Tao Heart nearly shattered, and she dared not descend the mountain easily again.
The tall, icy figure beca her heart demon.
Every night, it appeared in her nightmares, tornting her, making her grit her teeth and cultivate bitterly, vowing to exact revenge one day.
Later, when the Cyan Lotus Sect was destroyed and Xia Qinglian died, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden did not feel any joy; instead, she cried bitterly.
You died so easily, what about ?
Who do I seek revenge against now?
Unexpectedly, fate took a turn, and today, she t Xia Qinglian once more.
This is great, this woman is not dead!
My heart demon, ultimately, has to be dealt with by my own hands!
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s spiritual power suddenly erupted, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm’s spiritual power surged toward Xia Qinglian like a giant wave!
At the sa ti, she transford into a phoenix, her body igniting with golden flas.
However, this phoenix was only about a few feet long, with power far less than that of a true Ancient Divine Phoenix.
Nonetheless, with a first-layer Nascent Soul cultivation combined with part of the Divine Phoenix’s might, it was enough to slay a mid-period great cultivator.
At this mont, the phoenix let out a long cry, spread its golden wings, and lunged at Qiu Zhihe, countless flas suddenly appearing from all directions, surrounding Qiu Zhihe.
In an instant, the phoenix, carrying flas, had charged right up to Qiu Zhihe!
Qiu Zhihe’s expression remained calm as she raised her hand, a round defense array appearing in her slender, fair palm to barely fend off the phoenix’s assault.
"Xia Qinglian, you can’t hold it back!"
The phoenix screeched, the surrounding flas already surging toward Qiu Zhihe.
Qiu Zhihe remained calm, a scarlet fla suddenly appearing around her body.
This fla swept toward the Divine Phoenix Fla nearby, overwhelming all before it, quickly devouring the countless Divine Phoenix Flas.
"How can this be?!"
The phoenix was shocked, flapping its wings, trying to distance itself from Qiu Zhihe, only to find its wings unbearably heavy.
Looking down, she saw her golden wings covered with frost, unable to move.
Soon, her entire body was frozen by frost, crashing to the ground with a bang, turning into an ice sculpture.
Qiu Zhihe glanced down at her, speaking lightly, "This ti it’s still thirty monts."
The phoenix, frozen, couldn’t even open her beak.
Qiu Zhihe gently tapped with her finger, cracking the frost covering the phoenix, who then swiftly flew up, glaring fiercely at Qiu Zhihe.
"If you do not know your limits, I will kill you, then wipe out Celestial Phoenix Mountain."
Qiu Zhihe spoke coldly.
The phoenix in the air hesitated, and after a mont, landed, reverting back to human form.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden pointed at Qiu Zhihe, her face full of indignation: "You, you..."
"Waaah!!"
She suddenly squatted on the ground, sobbing.
Qiu Zhihe was startled, then chuckled silently.
My husband said the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was childish, and it proved true.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden crouched, crying miserably, the mountain shaking as Qiu Zhihe watched her trembling form, speaking coldly:
"Stop crying!"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden raised her head and glared at her, biting her lip fiercely, her shoulders trembling, eventually forcing herself to stop crying.
Qiu Zhihe looked at her coldly: "In the future, before others, do not ntion my identity."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden glared at her, her face pearly with tears, determined in her defiance, yet when Qiu Zhihe raised her hand, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden quickly nodded:
"I won’t speak of it!"
Her beautiful eyes were red, full of grievance, hating herself for her weakness, yet unable to resist the enemy’s tyranny.
With her sniffling, the mountain continued to tremble, both pure and enticing.
"In front of my husband, don’t behave like this again!"
Qiu Zhihe’s voice grew colder.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was filled with anger: "How I behave and in front of whom is my choice, how dare you control it?!"
"Hmm?"
"...Yes."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden pouted, ultimately bowing her proud head to the oppressive force.
However, it was due to Qiu Zhihe’s power. As for any genuine acknowledgnt of Qin Gengyun in her heart, it was nonexistent.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly asked: "You need my husband’s essence every month to sustain your life, is that right?"
"Yes!" The Celestial Phoenix Maiden responded loudly, with a sense of resignation.
Qiu Zhihe’s voice softened slightly: "Have you ever considered, as my husband’s cultivation improves and the essence he provides you becos stronger, your power could also increase?"
"Perhaps soday, when he ascends to Divinity Transformation, surpasses the tribulation, and ascends to the Tao, his essence could help you fully transform into an Ancient Divine Phoenix, restoring your Phoenix line?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was stunned, looking up blankly: "Are you serious?"
Qiu Zhihe looked down at her, gently brushing her cheek with her hand: "The Phoenix Blood within you already carries my husband’s aura, whether what I say is true, do you not know?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden stared dumbfounded at Qiu Zhihe.
"Your life, cultivation, and people all depend on my husband, rember just one thing..."
Then, that demonic woman leaned in and whispered in her ear:
"When he’s well, you’re well too."
...
The house where Qin Gengyun and his wife were staying.
After Qiu Zhihe left, Qin Gengyun sat back on the bed, closing his eyes to cultivate.
Monts later, he suddenly sighed: "Jian Yue, what are you planning?"
Sure enough, a beautiful figure with a chilly deanor erged from below, her face carrying a bewitching smile, her voice coquettish:
"Master, you’ve grown stronger; I was discovered as soon as I entered."
Qin Gengyun said helplessly: "Jian Yue, aren’t you afraid of being seen?"
Jian Yue giggled as she climbed onto the bed: "I wish everyone knew that I am Master’s maid!"
This one, with a servile look slapped onto her face, stuck to him like a snake. Qin Gengyun kicked her off with a foot, his voice turning cold:
"Get out!"
Jian Yue got up from the floor, kneeling and lying on the bedside, her eyes flirtatious as silk:
"Master, don’t be angry, I shall leave."
After saying this, her figure flashed and she had already left the room.
In the distance, Zhu Lin hid in a dark corner, filled with shock.
"Fairy Ye, actually his maid?"
