Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 100: Master Beats Me, Wife Heals Me

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fifth-Layer, 345/2000]

[Skill: Second Tier Alchemist, 1/500]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (537/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (544/1000)]

[Available Cultivation Points: 28]

The next day.

Qin Gengyun sat up on the bed, grimacing in pain, and silently chanted:

"Gengyun, ugh...add points!"

He added all 28 points to the Alchemy Master Realm, and the status panel changed:

[Skill: Second Tier Alchemist, 29/500]

This was calculated in advance, adding the cultivation points earned from Dual Cultivation over the past ten or so days to the Alchemy Master Realm; after reaching Third Tier Alchemist, he would then focus fully on enhancing his cultivation.

This way, within just forty-four days, he could advance to Qi Cultivation Sixth-Layer and Alchemist Third Tier.

He turned his head and saw no one on the bed; Qiu Zhihe had already gotten up.

It seemed he hadn’t woken her when he returned last night.

That’s good.

Ow! His whole body hurt a bit.

His mentor looked frail, but her methods were truly ruthless.

However, Qin Gengyun felt no resentment; a strict teacher produces excellent students. If not for her strictness, how could he, with his half-baked skills, fast-track his learning?

Walking out of the bedroom, Liu Su was sitting alone at the table, her eyes almost falling into the plate of large buns in front of her.

Seeing Qin Gengyun, she urged repeatedly:

"Why are you up so late, son-in-law? Breakfast was ready ages ago, but Miss insisted on waiting for you to get up before eating, I’m starving!"

"Sorry, I was a bit tired last night, so I got up late."

As Qin Gengyun walked over to sit down, Liu Su suddenly exclaimed, pointing at his face:

"Hey, hey, son-in-law, did you fall again last night? Geez, it looks like you fell seventy or eighty times! Were you caught fooling around outside by Miss?"

"Shut up."

Qiu Zhihe walked out from the kitchen, glared at Liu Su, and then sat at the table, saying to Qin Gengyun:

"Finish eating quickly, I’ll apply medicine for you."

"Alright, thank you." Qin Gengyun agreed, and Liu Su exclaimed again:

"No wonder you got up so early today, Miss was busy in the kitchen all morning, turns out she was brewing medicine for the son-in-law? Geez, the more you hit, the more your heart aches, huh?"

Qin Gengyun hurriedly said, "Susu, stop talking nonsense, my injuries aren’t from Zhihe."

Liu Su widened her eyes in surprise, "Not from Miss? Then who?"

Qin Gengyun opened his mouth but remembered his mentor’s instructions not to mention her to others, and didn’t know what to say.

"He found a mentor who is teaching him magical combat."

Qiu Zhihe had already revealed it.

"Zhihe..."

Qin Gengyun looked at her helplessly, and Qiu Zhihe said:

"Studying isn’t something to be ashamed of, if your mentor doesn’t want to be publicized, just don’t mention her name."

"Wow, son-in-law, you actually took on a mentor? When did this happen? Is your mentor male or female?"

Liu Su exclaimed, "Oh wait, since they beat you so badly, it can’t be a woman, let me guess, probably a big burly man with a beard who wants to toughen you up seeing you like a pretty boy, right?"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe scolded at the same time.

They glanced at each other, Qiu Zhihe lowered her head to eat without speaking further, Qin Gengyun smiled, peeling a tea egg and placing it in her bowl.

"Zhihe, have an egg."

Liu Su crossed her arms and sneered, "Disgusting."

She grabbed two big buns and three oil sticks from the table, squatted to the side, and started munching loudly.

"Wow~ such big and soft buns, and such long and firm oil sticks, they taste so good!"

After breakfast, Qin Gengyun was about to drag Liu Su to train when Qiu Zhihe called him.

"Come with me to the bedroom, I’ll apply for the medicine."

Qin Gengyun said, "No need, Zhihe, they’re just minor injuries."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him coolly, Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek and obediently walked into the bedroom.

A moment later, Qiu Zhihe walked in holding a white porcelain bowl, a rich soothing herbal fragrance wafting up.

Liu Su, peeking from the door excitedly, exclaimed, "Broken Blood Grass?!"

Qin Gengyun was surprised too, "Zhihe, when did you plant Broken Blood Grass? Isn’t it too wasteful to use it like this?"

This Broken Blood Grass is a Third Grade Spirit Grass, a key ingredient for making the Third Grade Spirit Pill "Broken Blood and Qi Continuation Pill." Even buying a single Spirit Grass would cost fifty Spirit Stones each.

Who would have thought that Qiu Zhihe could already cultivate Third Grade Spirit Grass and even used this precious Spirit Grass to brew medicine for his minor external injuries?

"Wasteful? I call it luxurious!"

Liu Su’s eyes were almost bulging out: "Miss, aren’t you being too extravagant!"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her, "Close the door, and don’t come in."

"Oh." Liu Su pouted, reluctantly closing the door.

Qiu Zhihe walked to Qin Gengyun, and coolly said, "Lie down, take off your clothes."

Qin Gengyun complied, took off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body, then lay in bed.

Qiu Zhihe, after a moment of silence, added, "Take off your pants too."

Feeling a bit awkward, since the two had been intimate countless times but always in the dark, this was broad daylight.

He quickly said, "Zhihe, there’s nothing wrong below."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him, "Off with them!"

She clearly remembered landing kicks on his thighs and calves several times last night; it was impossible for him to be unharmed.

"Oh."

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to take off his long pants.

Qiu Zhihe’s cheeks flushed briefly, eyes showing a hint of trance before becoming clear again, she ordered coldly:

"Don’t move."

Then her plain hand dipped into the bowl, coated with the Broken Blood Grass paste, gently applied to Qin Gengyun’s injuries. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qin Gengyun only felt the soft, cool hand touching his cheek, shoulder, arm, chest...gradually moving downwards, the sensation was refreshingly cool, yet made his heart increasingly warm.

She pretended not to notice, continuing to apply, asking in a cold voice:

"With your mentor’s harsh methods, you don’t resent her?"

Qin Gengyun, feeling awkward, shifted topics:

"No, I started learning magical combat in my thirties, making my starting point much lower than others. My mentor probably realized this, hence her strictness, for which I’m grateful."

Qiu Zhihe nodded, "At least you have some conscience."

"Hmm?" Qin Gengyun looked at her curiously.

"Lie still!" Qiu Zhihe snapped, "No talking!"

Qin Gengyun had to lay back down, thinking didn’t you just ask me a question?

Could it be that my wife is a bit jealous since my mentor is a female cultivator?

"Heh heh, I’m the most familiar with the Saintess’s Sound Insulation Array, how could it stump me."

At the bedroom door, Liu Su was lying against the ground with her butt sticking out, ear glued to the door slit, eavesdropping on the goings-on inside.

"Haha, clothes are off, pants too, the Saintess is using the excuse of treating wounds to cop a feel! So cheeky, I love it, hahaha!"
