Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 34: Playing It Safe Is the Way to Go

The sun shone brightly.

Qin Gengyun stepped out of the Pill Talisman Tower under the noon sun.

At this moment, his mood was somewhat complex—joyful, yet tinged with regret.

Just now, he tactfully declined a "big order" of fifty high-grade Blood Coagulation Pills.

Firstly, he was not entirely confident he could refine so many Blood Coagulation Pills in seven days.

More importantly, Qin Gengyun felt that things were going too smoothly.

Ten days ago, he was a low-level loose cultivator with assets less than twenty Spirit Stones; today, he holds a "fortune" of seven hundred Spirit Stones.

It’s like a pauper suddenly winning the lottery, becoming dissolute, indulging in pleasures, and squandering the wealth in no time.

Or firmly holding onto the wealth, steadily moving forward step by step.

Ensuring that his abilities can match this sudden wealth, leading to long-term prosperity and stability, and then naturally reaching his deserved high position.

Everyone knows they should choose the latter, yet most often become the former, losing their true nature and quickly squandering their wealth.

Qin Gengyun didn’t want to become that kind of person.

Currently, his cultivation and Alchemy Master Realm are still far from sufficient; earning seven hundred Spirit Stones was due to various chance encounters, not his own strength.

If he took on these fifty Blood Coagulation Pills, earning four hundred Spirit Stones quickly again—

that would be too conspicuous.

The tallest tree in the forest is often destroyed by the wind.

So, Qin Gengyun chose to refuse.

Taking too big a step easily results in pulling a muscle; developing cautiously is the proper way.

Tightly clutching the Spirit Crystal containing seven hundred Spirit Stones, he returned to Narrow Rain Lane and quickly entered the house.

He closed the door, finally breathing a sigh of relief, and walked into the kitchen, where he saw Qiu Zhihe cooking porridge.

Today, she wore a Hundred Flowers Floor-Sweeping Skirt, still black, with the long hem trailing the ground, wrapping around her petite figure. From the back view, beneath her slender waist, are two round and prominent curves.

Possessing a girl’s charm yet a young woman’s allure.

Hearing the noise, Qiu Zhihe turned her head. Qin Gengyun cleared his throat, shifting his gaze from below to her face and excitedly said:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, we have money now!"

Qiu Zhihe didn’t react much, turned back, and continued cooking porridge.

Soon the porridge was done. The bronze stove was moved back to the kitchen by Qiu Zhihe, and they ate in the outer room.

Qin Gengyun took out the Spirit Crystal containing seven hundred Spirit Stones, feeling quite proud:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, I just bought this Spirit Crystal at the Pill Talisman Tower. How about we store all our money in this Spirit Crystal from now on?"

Qiu Zhihe nodded, continuing to focus on her porridge.

Qin Gengyun then recounted his refusal of the fifty Blood Coagulation Pills and asked:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, do you think I did the right thing?"

Qiu Zhihe finished her porridge and calmly replied:

"Only fifty First Grade pills, what’s there to hesitate over?"

"Uh..."

Qin Gengyun laughed heartily: "Taoist Friend Qiu is right. Instead of worrying about these, it’s better to focus on improving the Alchemy Dao and cultivation realms!"

He excitedly said: "Taoist Friend Qiu, I plan to attempt refining Blood Coagulation Pills tomorrow to see if I can make Spirit Pills. Right, for refining Blood Coagulation Pills, I need Blood Coagulation Grass and Vitality Fruits. Tomorrow, I’ll buy some Vitality Fruits with the scattering value, but the Blood Coagulation Grass—"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Zhihe straightforwardly said:

"I’ll give it to you tomorrow."

Qin Gengyun was overjoyed: "Thank you, Taoist Friend Qiu."

The costliest material for refining Blood Coagulation Pills is the Blood Coagulation Grass, just two Spirit Stones per plant.

That’s secondary, mainly Qiu Zhihe’s cultivated Spirit Grass has better quality than ordinary ones, and the Pills refined from them can sell for better prices. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With some caution, selling them in small batches won’t attract attention.

After the meal, Qin Gengyun washed the dishes as usual, while Qiu Zhihe silently sat at the table, head down, seemingly preoccupied.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

Qiu Zhihe casually responded, getting up and heading to the bedside.

To her, Qin Gengyun refusing fifty Blood Coagulation Pills seemed cowardly.

But on second thought, she herself had altered her form, hiding in this small town, merely making a living; how could she mock Qin Gengyun?

Xia Qinglian, you are no longer the Demon Sect Saintess, but a weakly newlywed wife of a loose cultivator.

Giving orders and being dominant is in the past.

Now, you must be as cautious as Qin Gengyun, not striving for superiority, never standing out.

Until your cultivation fully recovers, you must perfectly disguise, like other married female cultivators, behaving gently, virtuously, obediently.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong?"

Qin Gengyun’s voice came from behind, Qiu Zhihe turned, barely managing a "gentle" smile:

"Taoist Friend Qin, let’s rest."

Qin Gengyun nodded, and they both sat at the bed’s edge.

Qiu Zhihe placed her hands neatly on her knees, eyelids lowered, resembling a shy young lady.

She’d heard from Chen Fang next door, most couples have husbands taking the initiative, wives only need to respond gently.

Thus, Qiu Zhihe decided to always let Qin Gengyun take the initiative; this way, they would appear like a normal couple.

Won’t draw attention.

After waiting a moment, Qin Gengyun made no move, so Qiu Zhihe turned to look at him:

"Taoist Friend Qin, it’s time to sleep."

Qin Gengyun quickly agreed, and Qiu Zhihe put out the candle; both took off their outer clothing and pulled up the covers.

Qiu Zhihe lay on her side with her back to Qin Gengyun, awaiting his advance.

Behind her, Qin Gengyun lay on his side as well, feeling both apprehensive and excited.

He knew Qiu Zhihe was about to pounce.

All he needed to do was respond gently.

A moment later, Qiu Zhihe turned back and coldly asked:

"Taoist Friend Qin, it’s time to sleep."

Qin Gengyun looked at her confused: "Aren’t we sleeping already?"

Wondering what was wrong with Taoist Friend Qiu today?

Why hadn’t she started yet?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Qiu Zhihe’s hard-earned composure and gentleness drained away.

Such efficiency, how long will it take to recover my cultivation?

Thinking of this, she directly pounced.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, you finally... ah~~"

...

Thirty-five breaths later.

The work had just ended, and from outside came Meng Yu’s shouting and cursing:

"That damn dog thief! If it’s a woman, she’ll be a whore for life! If it’s a man, he’ll have his roots cut off, become a eunuch!"

Qin Gengyun frowned: "Taoist Friend Meng must be drunk again."

Seeing Qiu Zhihe turn back over with a cold gaze, Qin Gengyun asked, puzzled:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, what’s wrong? Ah?!"

...

Breathing heavily, Qin Gengyun said: "Taoist Friend Qiu, wait, I have something to discuss with you."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him, her bright almond eyes cold in the dark.

Qin Gengyun continued: "Taoist Friend Mo has often helped me greatly; this time, selling the Clear Wind Powder at the Pill Talisman Tower was thanks to her for raising the price. I wish to express my gratitude. What do you think I should gift her?"

"..."

This night was longer than usual.

Utterly exhausted, Qin Gengyun fell into a deep sleep.

With a flicker, Qiu Zhihe’s figure was already by the door.

In the next moment, that petite figure slowly turned tall and full.

Soon after, in Narrow Rain Lane, a red silhouette flashed and disappeared.
