Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 79: This Is Just Bullying!

Liu Su joined the Cyan Lotus Sect at the age of five.

Her talent for cultivation was average, and being able to join the Cyan Lotus Sect was due to her innate Mist Spirit Eye.

When it came to cultivation, she was far behind Chun Hongtang, the senior sister, and Xia Qinglian, who entered the sect with her, not to mention most of her senior brothers and sisters.

However, heaven is fair; when it closes one door, it makes sure to close the window too.

Liu Su not only had average talent and ordinary Spirit Root, but her health was also poor.

As a child, she often lay in bed recuperating.

With nothing to do, she could only read the storybooks her senior brothers and sisters brought back for her.

To pass the boredom, she mimicked the talented scholars and beautiful ladies in those storybooks while reading them.

Over time, she developed the ability to let tears fall within a breath and create a ridiculous story on the spot.

Like now.

Tears streamed down Liu Su’s face as she wore a sorrowful expression, her voice hoarse:

"To be honest with you, my fellow Taoists, I once had a beloved senior brother. We promised to become Dao companions when he established his Foundation Establishment. For this goal, I worked hard to earn Spirit Stones just to buy Spirit Marrow and Spirit Pills for him to aid his cultivation."

"Finally, he succeeded in Foundation Establishment and joined the Zhenyang Sect. He promised me that once he established himself in the Zhenyang Sect, he would return to marry me."

"I awaited with high hopes, fantasizing about the day he would arrive on a colorful cloud to marry me in grand style."

"But who knew..."

Liu Su covered her face with both hands, squinting through her fingers to observe. She saw the heartless man deeply engrossed, while the petite female cultivator remained expressionless. She continued her performance:

"Who knew that after waiting for years, there was still no news from him? Later, when I went to the Zhenyang Sect to find him, I learned that he had already become a Dao companion with a female cultivator from Zhenyang Sect!"

"I wanted to enter Zhenyang Mountain to confront him, but the female cultivator had people injure me seriously, nearly dispersing my cultivation."

"I was so disheartened and self-indulgent that I ended up in Yihong House."

"But fortunately, I met the Taoist friend that day."

Liu Su looked at Qin Gengyun: "You bought my first night but didn’t touch me, which made me realize how foolish it was to punish myself for a heartless man."

"So I decided to leave Yihong House and start a new life."

"Stopping you that day was not to entangle, but merely to use your help to leave Yihong House. I apologize to you here."

"Meeting again today, I am willing to wholeheartedly assist you in alchemy without any other thoughts!"

Liu Su bowed gracefully to Qin Gengyun, who looked utterly shocked.

Good heavens, is it really this melodramatic?

You didn’t just make this up on the spot, did you?

Qin Gengyun asked, "What is the name of your heartless senior brother? And who is the female cultivator who became his Dao companion and had her same sect injure you?"

Liu Su sniffed, her expression mournful, as she sorrowfully replied:

"That heartless man is called Xiao Lang, and the ferocious female cultivator is... Ye Xiyue!"

"Ye Xiyue? Xiao Lang?" Qin Gengyun’s eyes widened:

"The senior sister Ye Xiyue from the Zhenyang Sect? Xiao Lang, who won first place in last year’s Three Sects Northern Wilderness Trial?"

Liu Su nodded, sadly saying, "Exactly!"

Qin Gengyun was momentarily stunned.

Not to mention Ye Xiyue, currently one of only two people in the world with a natural top-grade Spirit Root, who established her Foundation at ten and reached Nascent Soul at twenty-five.

She was the most likely candidate among the younger generation to ascend.

And Xiao Lang, who had recently risen to fame, was said to have outstanding talent, defeating numerous geniuses to claim first place in last year’s Three Sects Northern Wilderness Trial.

These two figures in the clouds, one a heartless man who abandoned Susu, the other a mistress tempting a scoundrel?

How absurd does this sound?

"Enough."

Qin Gengyun still wanted to ask more, but Qiu Zhihe interrupted him, addressing Liu Su:

"Five Spirit Stones a month, staying overnight in the Alchemy Room, three meals a day with us, two Spirit Stones will be deducted monthly for room and board."

Qin Gengyun was baffled; a Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant usually cost 5-7 Spirit Stones. Qiu Zhihe not only offered the minimum reward but also deducted 2 Spirit Stones for room and board.

Turns out my wife is even more black-hearted than me.

Yet Liu Su surprisingly didn’t haggle, chuckling and saying:

"Sure!"

Then she graciously bowed to Qin Gengyun: "Master, I pay my respects!"

Qin Gengyun coughed: "Just call me Taoist Friend Qin."

He had a feeling something was off, thinking casually, the whole situation was full of absurdities from beginning to end.

But for now, he couldn’t find a reason to refuse Susu.

It felt like Qiu Zhihe had directly arranged a Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant for him.

This Susu clearly wasn’t someone to be trifled with; why did Zhihe choose her specifically?

Just then, Qiu Zhihe said to the two: "Continue with your alchemy."

With that, she exited the Alchemy Room, and Liu Su winked at Qin Gengyun:

"Master, let’s continue."

"I said don’t call me Master."

"Master, what pills do you want to make this time?"

"..."

Two hours later, Qin Gengyun walked out of the Alchemy Room, his face radiant, followed by a slightly fatigued Liu Su.

In just those two hours, Qin Gengyun had managed to craft two Ice Purity Pills!

The last time it took him a full two hours to create just one Ice Purity Pill.

And even then, it ended up cracked.

Now, using the same amount of time, his alchemy efficiency doubled, with the two Ice Purity Pills showing no cracks and their quality about thirty percent higher than ordinary Ice Purity Pills!

No doubt about it, although this Susu’s background was mysterious and her mind a bit off, she was indeed an excellent Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant.

In fact, her alchemy experience was even richer than Qin Gengyun’s, it was her few words of guidance earlier that enabled him to successfully create two Ice Purity Pills.

My wife really does care for my well-being!

"Time to eat."

Qiu Zhihe brought out a basin of meat soup and a pot of porridge, speaking calmly.

"Wow, it smells amazing!"

The three of them sat down, Liu Su sniffing, her eyes lighting up.

"Is this Upper Grade Spirit Flesh?"

She picked up her chopsticks to grab the delicious-looking meat from the basin, only for Qiu Zhihe to block her chopsticks.

"You drink the porridge."

Liu Su’s eyes widened: "Seriously? You two eat meat while I drink porridge? That’s too much!"

Qiu Zhihe replied: "The meat is for him alone, both you and I will drink the porridge."

Qin Gengyun hurriedly said: "Zhihe, you should eat meat too."

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "You need to replenish Primordial Qi for alchemy and cultivation; I don’t need it."

The Reverse Cultivation Profound Ice and Fire Technique, when practiced as a Dual Cultivation Technique, allows replenishing the necessary Spiritual Energy and Essence Qi by dual cultivating with a Dao companion.

Hence, there is no need to rely on food for replenishment.

Qin Gengyun wasn’t hearing this from Qiu Zhihe for the first time, yet he still placed a bowl of meat soup in front of her:

"Zhihe, eating food isn’t just for replenishing Primordial Qi, there’s also the pleasure of savoring good food. You worked hard buying groceries and cooking; how can you not eat meat?"

Liu Su looked at the aromatic Upper Grade Spirit Flesh in their bowls, nearly drooling:

"Yeah, yeah, the pleasure of good food is one of the great joys of the world. Madam, if you don’t like meat, give it to me."

She reached for the bowl in front of Qiu Zhihe, but saw Qiu Zhihe already grab it and slightly tilt her head to start drinking the soup.

To her, the so-called pleasure of good food wasn’t of interest, but this bowl of meat was personally served by Qin Gengyun, and instinctively she didn’t want anyone else to touch it.

Liu Su watched as Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun drank the soup and ate the meat with big mouthfuls, her eyes turning green.

"Ahhh! You two are bullying me too much!"
