Chapter 434: Chapter 93: Divine Maiden Reunites with Her Husband—My Contribution Too

Second watch, 9:15 PM.

Divine Maiden Temple.

"Thank you, Divine Maiden, for your protection!"

"Divine Maiden, we have returned alive to see you!"

Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San knelt before the Divine Statue, bowing with utmost reverence.

Today, the three of them set out with the determination to die, guiding the Immortal Masters of the Zhenyang Sect to hunt a Sixth Grade Demonic Beast.

Originally, they didn’t expect to return alive and had already bid farewell to the Divine Maiden at the temple before setting out.

Unexpectedly, their journey to Yunling Mountain was extremely smooth. The three of them returned without a scratch, and the Sixth Grade Demonic Beast was dead.

With the death of this Beast King, all the lower-level demonic beasts in Yunling Mountain returned to normal, and Yunling Town was no longer threatened by a beast tide.

The three returned safely to Yunling Town and immediately brought Spirit Beast Flesh, Spirit Fruits, and fine wine to the Divine Maiden Temple to thank the Divine Maiden.

"Divine Maiden, you appeared to save us that day and today you blessed our safe return, freeing Yunling Town from the beast tide. On behalf of the people of Yunling Town, we thank you and wish you eternal blessings and longevity equal to the heavens!"

The three knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowing three times.

On the offering stand below the Divine Statue, in addition to the Spirit Beast Flesh they just brought, there were various offerings from many town residents today.

Although the demonic beast was slain by the Immortal Masters of the Zhenyang Sect, many town residents still believed in the protection of the Divine Maiden.

Zhao Yi and the others touched their foreheads to the ground with utmost sincerity, when suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, carrying a chilling fragrance.

Their bodies stiffened, and they slowly raised their heads in trembling awe, seeing a red-haired woman in red veils standing beneath the Divine Statue, looking exactly like the statue!

"Divine Maiden, is it really you?!"

Sun San’s eyes widened, tears of excitement streaming down his face.

Zhao Yi and Qian Er were equally excited, crawling to the feet of the red-haired lady, looking up at her, murmuring:

"Divine Maiden, you’ve truly returned? Am I dreaming?"

That day when the demonic beast charged into town, the three of them defended the Divine Maiden Temple. At the critical moment, the Divine Maiden appeared to save them.

But she disappeared afterward, leaving them as if they had been in a dream.

Now, the reappearance of the Divine Maiden felt so real, how could they not be overwhelmed?

At this moment, they had countless words in their hearts for the Maiden, countless excitement, and reverence to express.

But the Divine Maiden interrupted their excitement, asking:

"Is this Spirit Beast Flesh fresh?"

Her voice was chilling, pointing to the Spirit Beast Flesh just placed on the offering stand.

The three were stunned, and Sun San quickly replied, "Your Grace, this is fresh meat from a Third Grade Wind Spirit Pig!"

The red-haired lady slightly furrowed her brows: "My husband enjoys porridge made with Ghost Wolf meat. Do you have any Ghost Wolf meat?"

The three were taken aback, and Sun San jumped up: "Yes, yes, yes, I’ll bring it to you right away!"

The red-haired lady said blandly, "Don’t alert anyone else."

Sun San bowed and said, "Understood!"

Then quickly ran out.

Zhao Yi and Qian Er immediately regretted being a step slower and missing the opportunity to serve the Divine Maiden. Damn that Sun San, always getting ahead of them!

The two felt a bit bitter. The truth was, the Divine Maiden had hinted before that she had a husband, but hearing it confirmed now still stung.

It wasn’t that they had any covetous interest in the Divine Maiden. In their hearts, the Divine Maiden was like a celestial being.

No man could ever be worthy of her in this world.

But now, she wanted to cook porridge for a man, which was hard for them to accept.

Who could it be?

Who would have the Maiden cook for him?!

Is he worthy?!

Sun San soon returned, bringing a large piece of fresh Ghost Wolf’s foreleg meat, kneeling on the ground and presenting it with both hands:

"Divine Maiden, this foreleg meat is the most delicious for porridge. There’s also some scallions, ginger, soy sauce, star anise in the bag, and the Moon-Drinking Wine I bought from Moon Drinking Tower. It will be perfect for you and your husband."

The red-haired lady took it, nodding slightly at him, "Well done."

Hearing such praise from the Divine Maiden, Sun San’s face flushed with excitement, saying repeatedly:

"Thank you, Divine Maiden. To serve you, I’d venture through fire and water, risking death without hesitation!"

Zhao Yi and Qian Er looked at Sun San with utter envy. How the hell did the Maiden praise him alone?

Why?!

Clearly, I am the most loyal one, aaah!

The red-haired lady accepted the bag and disappeared in a flash.

The three respectfully kowtowed: "Farewell, Divine Maiden!"

A moment later, Zhao Yi and Qian Er got up, grabbing Sun San angrily:

"Damn you, Sun San! Always getting ahead of us, clearly, we also revere the Maiden, but you got all the glory!"

Sun San replied smugly, "Who told you to be so slow to react? When the Divine Maiden and her husband enjoy the porridge and wine I prepared by hand, they’ll surely remember my contribution. What an honor, hahaha!"

"Bastard! I’ll beat you to death!"

...

9:45 PM, nearing the third watch.

Qinhe Garden.

East side of the backyard.

"Junior Sister Fang, you didn’t see how hard Senior Brother He fought against that cunning beast!"

"Senior Brother He’s muscles are like Immortal Iron, even glowing! They made everyone’s legs weak, aaaah!"

"When we were ambushed in the cave by the beast, Senior Brother He saved me! If it weren’t for him, I’d be dead."

"Senior Brother He has such a reassuring presence!"

Fang Xue’s leg was broken by the beast’s kick, so she didn’t go to Yunling Mountain, staying in Qinhe Garden to recuperate. Though it was bedtime, she couldn’t sleep due to a group of junior sisters chatting nearby.

Fang Xue looked helplessly at these love-struck women, weakly saying:

"Fellow Junior Sisters, it’s late. Shall we each return to our rooms to sleep?"

The Junior Sister Li, who was saved by Qin Gengyun in the cave, waved her hand: "Don’t worry, Senior Sister Fang, I’m injured too, but it doesn’t stop us from discussing Senior Brother He’s muscles!"

"Yes, yes, let me tell you, whenever I close my eyes, all I see in my mind are Senior Brother He’s muscles, aaaah! I can’t sleep!"

"Me too, me too!"

"I wonder which girl will end up with Senior Brother He’s muscles?"

Fang Xue yawned, thinking to herself, actually, I’ve bathed in the same tub with your Senior Brother He and even touched his abs. Would you all go crazy if you knew?

She shared a room with Xu Caihe, and these female disciples were actually there for Xu Caihe, as she was currently He Zhiqiu’s number one fan.

At this moment, Xu Caihe looked down, gently stroking a men’s robe made from Fourth Grade demonic beast leather, her cheeks tinged with a slight blush.

Zhou Ling’Er next to her giggled and said, "Caihe, if you keep stroking it, you’ll rub it out of shape. If you want to give it, hurry and go. Junior Sister Ruo has already given a garment to Senior Brother He today. If you hesitate any longer, you’ll lose your chance!"

The surrounding female disciples giggled and coaxed, urging Xu Caihe along.

In their eyes, only the City Lord’s daughter, Xu Caihe, was worthy of Senior Brother He.

Prompted by the group, Xu Caihe finally made up her mind and left the room, heading towards the western side of the backyard where the male disciples lived.

The girls giggled and followed her outside, intending to watch the gossip.

With them gone, Fang Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, murmuring to herself:

"Uncle Qin, if the Master finds out, he’ll be upset with you again."
