Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 52: This Year’s Snow Came Earlier Than Usual
p.m.
The night was deep and quiet.
Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen, exhausted. After four whole periods, he had finally refined all seven Jade Spirit Flowers along with other ingredients into Yuqing Pills.
This was also the most efficient alchemy Qin Gengyun had ever performed.
He could clearly feel that his Divine Sense and Spiritual Energy had replenished significantly.
However, the effort had cost him a lot of mental energy, leaving him too tired to stay awake. He climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.
Soon after.
A petite figure on the bed slowly sat up, gradually transforming into a tall and voluptuous form, with jet-black hair turning fiery red.
The figure flickered and instantly vanished from the room.
1:45 PM.
In Willow Smoke Lane, opposite Yihong House.
Peng Yu knelt before the red-haired female cultivator and respectfully said,
"Senior, I have found out who the Zhenyang Sect is sending to Celestial Ridge Mountain to search for the Demon Sect relic."
"Speak!"
"There are over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, three Golden Core, and one Nascent Soul leading them. It is said this Nascent Soul is the Inner Sect Elder... Sang Yue!"
As soon as the name "Sang Yue" was mentioned, Meng Yu felt a chilling killing intent crashing down on him, causing him to cry out in terror,
"Spare me, Senior, spare me! I truly did my best to investigate!"
Moments later, the terrifying killing intent gradually dissipated. Meng Yu’s legs trembled, almost making him wet himself.
Xia Qinglian said nothing, and Meng Yu hastily added,
"Senior, I also discovered something: that Ruyi Courtesan, after being bought for her first time two days ago by a patron, refused to take any more clients, claiming she only wishes to serve the one who took her."
Upon saying this, Meng Yu felt a heavy pressure coming over him, forcing him to the ground.
Xia Qinglian coldly asked, "Do you dare to lie?"
That night, Liu Su clearly said nothing happened between her and Qin Gengyun. Liu Su wouldn’t lie to me.
"Spare me, Senior, I’m not lying. I heard Ruyi say it to the madam with my own ears!"
Meng Yu kowtowed repeatedly, utterly terrified, not seeming deceitful.
Xia Qinglian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why does the courtesan only wish to serve that person?"
"I didn’t hear clearly from outside, but it seems that Ruyi was conquered by that person’s bedroom technique, so she has settled on him."
Meng Yu quickly relayed what he had overheard.
"Bedroom technique?"
Xia Qinglian’s delicate brows furrowed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Meng Yu added, "It’s said that the patron battled for a whole period, leaving Ruyi physically and mentally satisfied, which is why she can’t stop thinking about him."
"Enough, get lost!"
"Yes, yes!"
Meng Yu scrambled to his feet and fled in panic.
Xia Qinglian stood quietly in the alley; suddenly, snow began to fall from the sky. She closed her eyes, her voice icy and sharp,
"Sang Yue, that day you ambushed me, and my master took a strike to save me. Let me repay you with our Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic!"
The red figure flickered, disappearing from Willow Smoke Lane.
Moments later, she reappeared in the courtesan’s room in Yihong House.
"Saintess! You’re here!"
Liu Su was lying on the table drinking and rose joyfully upon seeing Xia Qinglian come in.
Xia Qinglian sat down, and Liu Su poured her a cup of wine, "Saintess, this wine doesn’t compare to the Red Lotus Wine on Cyan Lotus Mountain, but it’s drinkable. Try it."
Xia Qinglian didn’t drink and looked at Liu Su, "Did you pass on the message about Sang Yue going to Celestial Ridge Mountain to that bastard?"
Liu Su chuckled, "Today, I pretended to be drunk and whispered a couple of words when that bastard delivered my meal. Saintess, aren’t I clever?"
Xia Qinglian nodded, "Zhenyang Sect sending Sang Yue is exactly what I hoped for."
Liu Su curiously asked, "Saintess, is the trap set by the Sect Leader really so formidable? Can it kill that Sang Yue?"
Xia Qinglian’s apricot eyes gleamed with coldness, "As long as she dares to go, she will surely die!"
"I just don’t know if Sang Yue will bring her disciple along. It would be best if both master and disciple died on Celestial Ridge Mountain!"
Liu Su said with hatred.
Sang Yue is the Great Elder of Zhenyang Sect, and her disciple is even more famous.
Ye Xiyue, First Senior Sister of Zhenyang Sect.
In the entire cultivation world, one of the only two born with a top-grade spirit root.
In the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Ye Xiyue and her master Sang Yue held back Xia Qinglian, allowing the Cyan Lotus Sect’s Saint Master to be besieged by other cultivators, ending in grievous wounds and bitter regret.
These two are mortal enemies of the Cyan Lotus Sect!
"I hope Ye Xiyue won’t go."
Xia Qinglian said indifferently. Liu Su looked at her in surprise, noticing that Xia Qinglian’s fair hand had formed into a fist,
"I will go to Zhenyang Mountain and sever Ye Xiyue’s top-grade spirit root in front of those righteous path members myself."
"Great! I want to go with you, Saintess, to witness it!"
Liu Su said excitedly.
The two talked briefly, and as Xia Qinglian stood to leave, she suddenly asked,
"About that person who bought your first night... did nothing really happen?"
Liu Su quickly said, "Of course, rest assured, Saintess, I won’t let myself get the short end of the stick!"
Xia Qinglian was silent for a moment, finally unable to resist asking,
"So what you said to the madam about that person being with you... continually for a whole period was also a lie?"
Liu Su giggled, "Yes, Saintess, you’re not familiar with matters between men and women. Which man could last a whole period? At most, just a stick of incense."
"A stick of incense?"
Xia Qinglian was surprised.
That long?
"Saintess, are you alright?"
Liu Su asked, seeing Xia Qinglian’s strange expression.
"Nothing, just be careful."
Xia Qinglian finished speaking, flickered, and was out of Yihong House.
...
Narrow Rain Lane.
In the rented house of Qin Gengyun.
The tall and voluptuous red figure slowly shrank, and her long hair returned to black.
The red robe was removed and stored in a storage bag. Qiu Zhihe, dressed in black underwear, walked to the bedside and looked down at the sleeping Qin Gengyun.
.......
Qiu Zhihe looked down at him, her voice icy, "That courtesan from Yihong House, is she beautiful?"
Qin Gengyun was startled, "Taoist Friend Qiu, why bring this up again... ah!"
Outside the window, snow suddenly began to fall.
This year’s first snowfall had arrived earlier than usual.
The snow fell heavier, turning from flurries into large flakes.
This night was particularly long.
...
The next day.
Qin Gengyun walked out of his house, supporting his waist.
Phantom text flashed before his eyes:
[Name: Qin Gengyun]
[Age: 35/40]
[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 36/500]
[Skill: First Tier Alchemist, 113/200]
[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (10/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (17/1000)]
It was quite a gain.
Qin Gengyun arrived at the Spirit Pill Workshop, and the distractions in his heart quickly dissipated.
Today, he was here to resign.
