Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 174: Husband, Take Me

"Dear, Susu is teaching me the Mist Spirit..."

Qin Gengyun had just started to explain when Liu Su interrupted:

"Miss? Sir? I think I’ve been sleepwalking, how did I end up in the sir’s bathtub? I’ll head back to sleep, hahaha!"

Liu Su splashed out of the bath, her wet body only in underwear, grabbed the clothes next to her, and quickly ran out of the bathroom, slipping back to her own bedroom.

"?" Qin Gengyun looked bewildered, but saw Qiu Zhihe looking at him coldly, then turned and left.

"Dear, listen to my explanation!"

Qin Gengyun quickly got out of the bathtub, hurriedly dried himself, put on his robe, and chased after her. He heard a loud bang as Qiu Zhihe had already returned to her bedroom.

He rushed over and twisted the doorknob, but it wouldn’t open, so he quickly knocked on the door.

"Dear, dear, please let me in, okay?"

After knocking for a long time with no response, the door next to him opened with a click and Liu Su’s head poked out, speaking softly:

"Sir, you can’t tell Miss about the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique."

This Mist Spirit Bathing Technique requires three people to bathe together. The Saintess is so jealous; she probably won’t be happy seeing her man bathing with another woman.

Plus, she wants to join too!

It’s really too shameful.

That’s one thing, but the most important issue is that they can’t be sure if the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique will allow the Saintess to keep looking like Qiu Zhihe throughout the process.

If she turns into Xia Qinglian on the spot, the bond between the Saintess and her husband would naturally end.

Wouldn’t the Saintess want to kill me then?

Thinking this, Liu Su advised Qin Gengyun to keep it a secret.

At this moment, Qin Gengyun was busy coaxing his wife and had no time to say more to her. He just nodded, then continued knocking on the door, talking without pause:

"Dear, Susu and I really have nothing going on, I just see her as a little sister."

"Dear, Susu is so young; even if I weren’t a decent person, I couldn’t bring myself to do anything to her, could I?"

"Dear, honestly, I see Susu almost as a guy!"

"Hey, hey, Qin, that’s crossing the line!" Liu Su listened from the side, increasingly feeling something off, staring at him with wide eyes.

Qin Gengyun was determined to throw her under the bus, continuing to shout:

"Dear, yesterday I saw a stray dog on the street, and I thought it looked better than Susu!"

"I swear, if I ever have thoughts about someone like Susu, I’ll eat the alchemy furnace on the spot!"

Liu Su was furious, her eyes darted, and suddenly she said sweetly:

"Oh sir, stop touching, ah~ I’m blushing!"

The bedroom door flung open, Qiu Zhihe stood at the entrance, looking coldly at the two of them.

"Sir, I’ve helped you get Miss to open the door, no need to thank me!"

Liu Su made a face, slamming the door shut with a bang.

Qiu Zhihe was about to close the door too, but Qin Gengyun was quick, rushing up to block the door with his body.

"Dear, don’t be mad, let me in!"

He pleaded bitterly, and even though Qiu Zhihe looked at him expressionlessly, she eventually relented, letting go and walking inside the bedroom.

Qin Gengyun was overjoyed, quickly followed her in, but saw Qiu Zhihe sitting by the bed, her hands on her knees, frowning, with her small mouth pouting in anger.

Qin Gengyun couldn’t help but laugh, moving forward to hold her fragrant shoulders:

"My dear is so adorable."

Qiu Zhihe shrugged, dropping his hand, and turned her head to the side, continuing to pout.

Having been with his wife for so long, Qin Gengyun knew her weaknesses well, so he thickened his face and leaned closer, his lips resting on her earlobe, whispering softly:

"Dear, today was tiring, let’s rest early."

His breath blew on Qiu Zhihe’s ear, her cheeks flushed red, she raised her small hand to push him away.

"You, you move away."

But her voice was soft, and her hands lacked strength. Qin Gengyun took the chance to hold her hand, continuing to whisper against her earlobe:

"Dear, I really didn’t do anything with Liu Su; we just..."

"I want to sleep now."

Qiu Zhihe’s cheeks turned crimson, she hurriedly turned around to lie on the bed, not even taking off her shoes.

Her ears were ticklish; every time during cultivation, Qin Gengyun would kiss her ear, and she’d immediately lose her strength. Just now, he used this weakness of hers.

Seeing her hide under the covers, Qin Gengyun reached over to catch her small foot, planning to help remove her shoes. Qiu Zhihe kicked twice like a sulking child.

Whap!

Qin Gengyun tapped her sole, and Qiu Zhihe’s body stiffened, then she stopped moving.

Qin Gengyun chuckled, then helped her take off the embroidered shoes, covering her with the quilt.

He lay down beside her, wrapping his arm around Qiu Zhihe from behind.

Qiu Zhihe’s body struggled slightly twice, but soon was held firmly. She eventually stopped resisting, snuggling back into his embrace.

Qin Gengyun felt her heartbeat through his arm, his heart also calming, he whispered:

"Dear, are you feeling better?"

Qiu Zhihe didn’t respond but said: "Actually, I’ve known Susu since we were little, she grew up with me, she’s my sister."

Qin Gengyun paused, sighed: "I figured so, no wonder when I recruited the Spirit Fan Medicine Officer, you insisted on choosing Susu. But why didn’t you tell me then?"

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, then softly said: "Husband, I’m sorry."

"It’s okay, dear, if there are things on your mind, tell me when you want to. If you don’t want to, I don’t mind, as long as you remain my dear."

Hearing his tender words, the ice in Qiu Zhihe’s heart melted into a springtime lake, her apricot eyes suddenly turning moist.

"Husband, Susu is like a sister to me, if one day, I’m no longer around, marry her and take care of her for me."

Qin Gengyun didn’t expect her to say this, was silent for a while, then shook his head:

"No, dear, if you’re not here, I’ll come find you."

Qiu Zhihe turned to look up at him: "You can’t find me."

Qin Gengyun looked down at her: "If I can’t find you, I’ll keep looking, live a hundred years, search for a hundred years, attain immortality, then search for eternity, never giving up."

Qiu Zhihe’s apricot eyes widened, mist gathering, two crystal streams slid down her small face.

She closed her eyes, raised her flushed lips, her voice soft as water:

"Husband, want me."

Qin Gengyun lowered his body, lips meeting hers, Qiu Zhihe’s hands circled his neck.

Tears fell like rain.

Husband, I’m sorry, one day, you really won’t find me.

...

...

Twenty days later.

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, 1/5000]

[Skill: Fourth Tier Alchemist]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (887/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (900/1000)]

In the Alchemy Room, Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, spiritual energy surging around him, Liu Su clapped and cheered from across:

"Miss, Miss, come quick, sir has ascended, sir has ascended!"

Qiu Zhihe walked into the Alchemy Room, seeing the abundance of spiritual energy around Qin Gengyun, she said blandly:

"Just Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, keep cultivating!"

Then she turned and left. Still immersed in joy, Qin Gengyun quickly refocused, saying to Liu Su:

"Susu, come, let’s continue!"

Liu Su widened her eyes: "Really? I’ve spent almost the whole day with you, can you two couples let a person live?"
