Qiu Zhihe’s body stiffened, her cheeks turning red once more, her face full of panic.

Her gaze towards Qin Gengyun was filled with murderous intent.

You said no one would come!

Now, who is this fox spirit outside the door?

And why does it have to be at this time!

Qiu Zhihe waved her small hand, and the scattered clothes on the ground flew up, returning to the two of them once again, then she swiftly crawled under the bed with practiced movements.

Qin Gengyun wanted to remind her there was no need to hide under the bed, but the tempting voice outside the door sounded again:

"Senior Brother He, it’s Zhou Ling’Er, I have an urgent matter."

Qin Gengyun, helpless, had to go open the door, seeing Zhou Ling’Er dressed in a purple smoke gauze shirt, slightly open at the collar, revealing a patch of fair skin, her skirt kicked up to her calf, exposing a streak of snow-white.

Seeing Qin Gengyun, Zhou Ling’Er’s eyes curved, her expression was coquettish:

"Senior Brother He, have you gone to bed so early?"

Qin Gengyun dared not look at her, asking, "Junior Sister Zhou, what important matter do you have?"

Zhou Ling’Er, with her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, revealing her assets intentionally or unintentionally.

However, her figure was still lacking compared to Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun looked straight ahead, Zhou Ling’Er giggled and said:

"Senior Brother He, aren’t you going to invite me in?"

Qin Gengyun stood at the door without any intention of moving: "Junior Sister Zhou, it’s very late, it’s not appropriate for a single man and woman, say what you need to here."

Zhou Ling’Er’s coquettishness on her face faded, her expression somewhat pained, lifting the hem of her skirt to reveal a wound on her thigh:

"My leg was scratched by a demonic beast, I can barely stand."

Qin Gengyun, helpless, had to step aside and let her in.

This woman, intentionally or unintentionally, was wearing open-toe slippers, her delicate, smooth toes moving with allure.

Under the bed, Qiu Zhihe could just see the beautiful toes exposed, her face was as dark as water.

Great, one after another.

And this Zhou Ling’Er is clearly more skilled at flirting with men than Xu Caihe.

She deliberately dresses like this, just to seduce my husband!

Qiu Zhihe bit her silvery teeth tightly, seeing the two outside walk to the table and sit down, Qin Gengyun asked again:

"Junior Sister Zhou, what do you need?"

Zhou Ling’Er said tenderly: "Senior Brother He, have you heard? Senior Sister Suxin and Senior Sister Lin Qingchou will also reach Zhenlian City tomorrow, now Zhenlian City will no longer fear demonic beasts!"

Lin Qingchou?

Under the bed, Qiu Zhihe’s eyes turned cold, it’s Zheng Shengmo’s death warrant arriving.

Qin Gengyun said: "That’s indeed good news, is there anything else, Junior Sister Zhou?"

Zhou Ling’Er continued with a coquettish voice: "Senior Brother He, our Zhou Family specializes in pill crafting, this is a top-quality Continuation Guiyuan Pill, an exceptional remedy for external injuries, I brought it especially for you."

Qiu Zhihe sneered in her heart, just a mere Continuation Guiyuan Pill, my storage bag has not twenty but at least ten, dare to call it a sacred remedy for external injuries?

Qin Gengyun said: "Thank you, Junior Sister Zhou, my injuries are almost healed, this pill is precious, you take it back... uh?"

Qin Gengyun’s voice paused, Qiu Zhihe’s eyes widened.

Under the table, Zhou Ling’Er unexpectedly removed her shoes, her delicate, fair feet subtly touching Qin Gengyun’s leg.

Qiu Zhihe covered her mouth, her eyes almost overflowing with murderous intent.

She mobilized her spiritual power once again, forming two fingers, pinching towards Qin Gengyun’s thigh.

However, this time Qin Gengyun was prepared, with spiritual energy covering his thigh, blocking Qiu Zhihe’s spiritual power.

Well, you’ve got experience now?!

Suddenly Qin Gengyun stood up, Zhou Ling’Er’s foot got caught, she nearly fell, Qin Gengyun said to Zhou Ling’Er:

"Junior Sister Zhou, I’m sorry, I already have someone I like, thank you for your kindness, please go home early and rest."

Zhou Ling’Er paused for a moment, her voice finally losing its coquettishness, spoke deeply:

"Ruo Mei?"

"Yes." Qin Gengyun replied. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zhou Ling’Er remained silent for a while, then suddenly laughed:

"Actually, I know you just refused Caihe, I have even less chance, but I still wanted to try, what if I die at the mouth of a demonic beast tomorrow, without even a chance to be refused."

"Junior Sister Zhou?"

"Senior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo’s cultivation is higher than mine, she can fight side by side with you, she’s indeed more suited for you, I’m leaving... the medicine is yours."

That fair, delicate foot stood up in panic, running out of the room.

Moments later, Qin Gengyun walked to the bedside and lay down, revealing his face in front of Qiu Zhihe, he smiled bitterly:

"My dear, I really didn’t know Junior Sister Zhou would come, please don’t be angry."

Qiu Zhihe snorted, crawled out from under the bed, Qin Gengyun caringly helped her fix her clothes and hair, Qiu Zhihe’s little face was cold, but she allowed Qin Gengyun’s hands to work on her.

"My dear."

Suddenly Qin Gengyun spoke: "Junior Sister Xu and Junior Sister Zhou are affected by the beast tide, right?"

Qiu Zhihe understood his meaning, lightly humming: "You all have yet to see a real beast tide."

Qin Gengyun pulled her into sitting, sighed: "My dear, indeed my sight is limited, but directly seeing so many die under the claws of demonic beasts, I think, no matter what Zhenyang did five hundred years ago, now those like Zheng Shengmo are so despicable."

"But, ultimately there are more within the Zhenyang Sect who harbor righteousness."

"If we truly uncover something this time that shakes the Zhenyang Sect’s foundation, is it unfair to these innocent disciples of the Zhenyang Sect?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at him, speaking calmly: "Righteousness doesn’t belong to the Zhenyang Sect alone, besides, what is right? What is evil?"

"If five hundred years ago Sheng Tanglian hadn’t died, instead killed Zhenyang, who would be called the leader of the righteous path today, the Zhenyang Sect or the Cyan Lotus Sect?"

"But, my dear... so many Zhenyang Sect disciples died resisting the beast tide, I can’t bear it in my heart." Qin Gengyun sighed.

Qiu Zhihe’s expression was icy: "You only see the Zhenyang Sect disciples’ deaths, yet you don’t know more from the Cyan Lotus Sect perished under the beast tide!"

"The Cyan Lotus Sect also fought against the beast tide?" Qin Gengyun was surprised: "How come I’ve never heard?"

Qiu Zhihe sneered: "Eastern Cultivator is the realm of the Three Great Sects, you’ve grown up in Eastern Cultivator, naturally whatever you hear is what the Three Great Sects wish you to hear."

Qin Gengyun realized: "Indeed I was naïve, my dear is right, in that case..."

He held Qiu Zhihe’s hand, speaking softly: "My dear, did you also hunt demonic beasts before?"

This seemed to recall Qiu Zhihe’s memories, she stared out the window, her beautiful eyes full of sadness.

"When I was six, more than ten villages below Cyan Lotus Mountain were besieged by the beast tide, I followed Senior Sister down the mountain, fought for three days and nights, finally killing all the demonic beasts."

"When we walked into the village, the villagers came out to kneel before us, just like the people of Zhenlian City kneeling before you today."

"However, in one household, we found a Thunder Sword Sect disciple."

"We wanted to kill him, but the villagers pleaded for him, saying he killed many demonic beasts and saved many people."

"Thus, Senior Sister let him go."

"Fifteen years later, that disciple became an elder of the Thunder Sword Sect, he and two elders set a trap, killed Senior Sister."
