Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 118: A Night Dark with Murderous Winds

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: A Night Dark with Murderous Winds

Just as Pei Daoyu had speculated, before Liu Su finished brewing the tea, Chang Chunzi had already bluntly addressed Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin, you may not know, but I’ve been supplying pills to the Zhenyang Sect. You were once Daoyu’s Medicine Attendant, so I won’t make it difficult for you."

"For these forty Spirit Pills, I’ll provide the Pill Furnace and Medicine Attendant. Once you concoct them, hand them over to me, and I’ll negotiate with the Zhenyang Sect. The price will definitely be higher than what the Pill Talisman Tower offers."

"How about a seventy-thirty split after the deal is done?"

Qin Gengyun laughed, "Taoist Friend Chang, I’m the one concocting the pills; is seventy percent too little for me?"

Chang Chunzi sneered, "Seventy percent for me, and you’re getting thirty percent."

The room instantly fell silent.

"Senior Chang, Taoist Friend Qin, please don’t let this strain the harmony!"

Seeing the tension in the air, Pei Daoyu hurriedly intervened:

"The three of us can unite. Taoist Friend Qin will handle the alchemy, I will provide the venue and Pill Furnace, and Senior Chang can negotiate the price with the Zhenyang Sect. As long as we work sincerely together, why worry about not earning a fortune in Spirit Stones?"

Chang Chunzi glanced at him, "Fine, but for now, we must proceed as I said for this matter."

Qin Gengyun chuckled, "Taoist Friend Chang, even without you all, I can still concoct high-grade pills on my own; why worry about a lack of sales?"

Chang Chunzi’s expression turned cold, "Taoist Friend Qin, I heard that you ascended from the second to the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation within a few short months; impressive indeed. However, there are many geniuses in the world, and your bit of talent may easily be snuffed out if not careful."

Qin Gengyun slightly frowned, "Taoist Friend Chang, we’re merely Alchemists; why harbor such hostility?"

"Taoist Friend Qin, this isn’t the first time you’ve disrupted my dealings with the Zhenyang Sect. If not for Daoyu pleading on your behalf, you wouldn’t even have the chance to negotiate with me."

Chang Chunzi glanced towards the kitchen at Liu Su, speaking in a somber tone:

"Your little sister-in-law is quite charming, and I’ve heard of your even more alluring wife; it seems you’ve paved your path through Dual Cultivation?"

"Have you ever considered that should you unfortunately perish, your wife and sister-in-law might become someone else’s Dual Cultivation partners, leaving you no chance to regret?"

Pei Daoyu opened his mouth, hoping to intervene again, but upon hearing Chang Chunzi’s words, he helplessly closed it.

How could one break this tension?

The room once again became silent; after a moment’s pause, Qin Gengyun suddenly broke into a smile:

"Taoist Friend Chang, such a cordial invitation would be hard to decline, although I do have some thoughts on the profit split. This isn’t a convenient place to discuss it; how about we talk in detail at midnight in the Snow Moon Forest on Yunling Mountain?"

Chang Chunzi laughed heartily, "Taoist Friend Qin, with such good judgment, you are sure to have a boundless future. Let’s meet at 3 a.m. on Yunling Mountain!"

"Alright, Taoist Friend Chang, Taoist Friend Pei, safe travels."

Qin Gengyun stood up to see them off; at the door, Chang Chunzi turned back, speaking with a warning:

"Taoist Friend Qin, should you wish to take your two wives and flee in the night, it might be quite inconvenient."

Qin Gengyun smiled, "Rest assured, Taoist Friend, I will definitely be there at midnight!"

Only then did Chang Chunzi laugh contentedly twice and leave, with Pei Daoyu following behind, forced to smile wryly as he cupped his hands towards Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin, I have important matters tonight; discuss well with Senior Chang."

Pei Daoyu’s absence tonight was an indication of his neutrality.

Originally, he was inclined to support Qin Gengyun, but considering that Qin Gengyun’s cultivation was only at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, one minor realm lower than Chang Chunzi, he couldn’t afford to bet on the wrong horse.

Yet he wanted to avoid offending Qin Gengyun, so he opted not to attend, showing neutrality.

Qin Gengyun nodded, "Taoist Friend Pei, I understand your stance."

Seeing Qin Gengyun’s calm expression, Pei Daoyu felt an unexplainable shiver inside and made a quick farewell.

Catching up to Chang Chunzi, Pei Daoyu spoke in a lowered voice:

"Senior Chang, there’s actually no need to be so definitive with Taoist Friend Qin; after all, we’re pursuing wealth. An extra friend is better than an extra enemy."

"Friend?" Chang Chunzi sneered, "He’s unworthy!"

"Having repeatedly disrupted my business, sparing him on the account of Yunling Town’s management is already a favor; should I still be polite to him?"

Pei Daoyu sighed inwardly, "Senior Chang, I indeed have a critical matter tonight and can’t accompany you."

Chang Chunzi could clearly see his thoughts, sneered, waved his hands, and walked off on his own.

Pei Daoyu stood in place, shaking his head, headed towards the Spirit Pill Workshop.

This excitement is certainly one not to join, but I must learn Yunling Mountain’s negotiation results at the earliest opportunity to firmly grasp the genuine support.

"Qin Gengyun, even when others bully you directly, you still talk with them? Being timid in other matters is forgivable, but this is truly cowardly!"

Back home, Liu Su walked out from the kitchen, her expression icy.

Earlier, she heard Chang Chunzi’s remarks; had she not needed to conceal her identity, she would have already made a move.

She hadn’t thought Qin Gengyun, after hearing Chang Chunzi’s insults towards the Saintess, would still act like a shrinking turtle.

How could the Saintess fall for such a man?

Ignoring Liu Su’s accusations, Qin Gengyun handed her the Spirit Crystal containing all his possessions, calmly saying:

"Susu, if I don’t return by 5 a.m. tomorrow, leave Yunling Town immediately and find Zhihe; both of you shouldn’t return and find a place to live well."

Liu Su was stunned, "What do you mean, Qin?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Somehow, Qin Gengyun’s demeanor reminded her of the sect leader and fellow seniors before the battle on Celestial Ridge Mountain.

It was so similar to Qin Gengyun’s current state.

Liu Su’s heart trembled, momentarily lost in thought.

Qin Gengyun smiled, handed over some talisman papers and pills, all for protection and quick treatment during Magical Combat, to Liu Su:

"If I truly don’t come back, remember to tell Zhihe that meeting her in this life has been my greatest fortune."

"You..." Liu Su stared at him, Qin Gengyun said with a smile:

"We haven’t had time to buy groceries today, let’s go out to eat tonight."

With that, he left the house.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Liu Su hurriedly followed him out as Qin Gengyun led her out of Narrow Rain Lane to the bustling Caifeng Street and entered the most renowned Moon Drinking Tower.

Sitting in a high-end private room, Qin Gengyun smiled at Liu Su:

"Back when someone at the Spirit Pill Workshop got married, the wedding feast was set here at Moon Drinking Tower. Unfortunately, the groom was rejected by a female cultivator and died himself without the feast happening, so today we’re here to dine ourselves."

Liu Su blinked, "How did that person die?"

Qin Gengyun didn’t respond; a server brought in dishes, and once they were served, Qin Gengyun smiled, serving Liu Su:

"At home, you always give me the best; today you should eat more."

Liu Su stared blankly at him, Qin Gengyun said, "Eat."

After quickly finishing the meal, Qin Gengyun got up, and Liu Su suddenly grabbed his wrist:

"Husband, let me go with you tonight."

Qin Gengyun smiled, raising his hand to pat her head like a child:

"Susu, hurry back and pack up; remember what I said and be good."

With that, he left the Moon Drinking Tower.

Looking up, the night was like a curtain with dark clouds overhead; he smiled:

"A dark night for killing under the wind and moon."
