Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 47: I Bought a Dress and My Coworker Got Dumped

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: I Bought a Dress and My Coworker Got Dumped

The next morning, early.

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, the fatigue completely gone from his body.

Last night, he spent three two-hours to refine four Heart-Protecting Pills.

This was his first time making Heart-Protecting Pills, such efficiency was already extremely impressive.

However, Qiu Zhihe seemed still not very satisfied, only agreeing to let him rest when she saw he was truly exhausted.

This sleep was exceedingly sweet, and Qin Gengyun felt he would surely reach the goal of five Spirit Pills in three two-hours tonight.

Last night, he had already told Qiu Zhihe to help cultivate the Spirit Grass needed for refining the Yuqing Pill.

He urgently needed to try suppressing the Pill Poison in his body with high-quality Yuqing Pills to see if he could resume dual cultivation and self-cultivation concurrently, and quickly ascend to the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation.

Qin Gengyun turned to the side, only to see Qiu Zhihe facing him, apparently still asleep.

He was slightly surprised, typically if he was refining pills at night, Qiu Zhihe would wake up early to buy breakfast and return.

Today, she was still asleep.

Qin Gengyun chuckled, it must be that cultivating Spirit Grass over the past two days had tired her.

He got up and dressed, went to the kitchen for a simple wash, went out to buy two portions of breakfast, ate one himself, and left the other for Qiu Zhihe.

Gently walking to the bedside, he leaned over to look, Qiu Zhihe was facing the wall, her curves graceful, side profile round, long eyelashes, her small mouth slightly pouting, looking both charmingly naive and alluring.

Unlike her usual cold appearance, she seemed like a different person.

Clearly, my wife is charming and sweet, yet she insists on putting on a cold front.

Rather cute, actually.

Qin Gengyun chuckled softly, watched for a moment, then finally turned and left the room.

Once he left, the door closed, and Qiu Zhihe on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her once charmingly naive round face instantly covered in frost, her gaze icy cold.

"Hmph, men!"

...

Qin Gengyun walked out of Narrow Rain Lane and bumped into Chen Fang and Zhang Chengdao holding hands, he smiled and clasped his hands:

"Taoist Friend Zhang, Taoist Friend Chen, you two are really loving."

Zhang Chengdao nodded sheepishly, while Chen Fang smiled in response:

"Taoist Friend Qin, aren’t you and your wife the same? Yesterday Taoist Friend Qiu came to me to learn more dishes, saying you’ve had enough porridge and stewed meat."

Warmth rose in Qin Gengyun’s heart, he laughed heartily, "Truly my good fortune."

After bidding farewell to his neighbors, Qin Gengyun continued walking, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart.

Although he stopped himself yesterday, he still went to Yihong House behind his wife’s back.

Ultimately, it was unfair to her.

I must make it up to my wife properly!

Arriving at the Spirit Pill Workshop, it was just around 7 a.m., and the workshop was bustling.

It was actually Yang Fengshan handing out wedding invitations to everyone.

"In half a month, at Moon Drinking Tower, you must come! And don’t hold back on the gifts, hahaha!"

This guy, while handing out invitations, reminded people they must bring gifts too.

When it was Qin Gengyun’s turn, Yang Fengshan stuffed the invitation into his hand, emphasizing:

"Don’t be stingy, the gift should be at least two Spirit Stones!"

Without waiting for Qin Gengyun to say anything, Yang Fengshan happily left, obviously needing to deliver more invitations elsewhere.

Wang Ping walked over, grumbling, "This isn’t inviting people for a wedding, it’s plainly asking for gifts!"

Xu Li was also annoyed, "His wife was only married after borrowing money from all of us to gather the bride price, and now he asks us for gifts, it’s too much!"

Qin Gengyun wondered, "What kind of female cultivator would fancy Steward Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping was even more vexed, "Taoist Friend Qin, you don’t know, they say Yang Fengshan met his wife through a match at the Marriage Pavilion, she’s said to be very pretty, and demanded a high bride price, I guess she only agreed to marry him because he managed to produce such a sum."

"Alas, in this world, for us loose cultivators, seeking longevity is one thing, but even marrying is out of reach!"

"Enough said, let’s just head to Yihong House tonight for some music!"

Qin Gengyun glanced around, asking the two, "Pavilion Master didn’t come today?"

Wang Ping shook his head, "I hear the Pavilion Master is out, with five days left until the Northern Wilderness Trial, the Pavilion Master must be trying to seize the last opportunity, even providing dozens of First Grade Pills to the Zhenyang Sect would mean a fortune in Spirit Stones."

Qin Gengyun said no more, knowing that although the Zhenyang Sect used First Grade Pills in large numbers to replace Second Grade Spirit Pills, their quality demands for First Grade Pills were very high.

He had seen the Pills refined by the Pavilion Master, all ordinary in quality, surely unable to catch this last opportunity.

p.m.

Qin Gengyun left the Spirit Pill Workshop without returning home directly, but instead headed to Rouge Pavilion once more.

He had already decided, to compensate for yesterday’s wrong to Qiu Zhihe, he would buy that Array Spirit Robe worth twenty Spirit Stones for her.

Entering Rouge Pavilion, a lady seemed ready to greet him, but Chen Jia rushed forward first, smiling charmingly and said:

"Taoist Friend Qin, you’re here again, what would you like to buy today?"

Qin Gengyun replied, "Taoist Friend Chen, my wife’s birthday is soon, I’m thinking of getting her a gift."

On the way here, Qin Gengyun had it figured out, he had just bought a ten Spirit Stone outfit recently, buying another twenty Spirit Stone Array Spirit Robe today would be too conspicuous.

So using the excuse of celebrating his wife’s birthday, claiming he is willing to spend all his savings for her birthday would seem reasonable, right?

"Taoist Friend Qin, why not check out our latest Rouge, with various herbs and Spirit Pills added to it, its effects comparable to the Fixed Face Pill, surely able to keep your wife’s beauty everlasting!"

Chen Jia enthusiastically recommended.

Qin Gengyun looked around, lowering his voice, he said:

"Taoist Friend Chen, I’ve actually already planned what to buy."

"Oh?" Chen Jia noticed Qin Gengyun’s secretive tone, also lowering her voice:

"What does Taoist Friend Qin plan to buy for your wife?"

Qin Gengyun glanced toward the clothing rack, eyes landing on the Hundred Pleats Cloud Pattern Skirt hanging in the center.

Chen Jia was momentarily stunned, her pupils quivering as she spoke with a slight tremor:

"Taoist Friend Qin, you mean... you plan to buy that Spirit Robe?"

Just the other day, he bought a ten Spirit Stone outfit, and today he’s buying a twenty Spirit Stone one, could this guy really be this loaded?

Qin Gengyun nodded, stating a pre-determined excuse: "My wife and I share deep love, she tirelessly works for me daily, I feel guilt in my heart, and soon it will be her birthday, even if it drains my savings I wish to give her a surprise."

The key in this phrase is "My wife and I share deep love," and that buying this item will "drain my savings."

This way, if any curious person inquires, they’d just see him as a foolish man deeply devoted to his wife.

After hearing Qin Gengyun’s perfect explanation, Chen Jia’s eyes grew even more fervent, her smile radiant:

"Taoist Friend Qin, you’re too good to your wife!"

Qin Gengyun glanced around, urging: "Taoist Friend Chen, please wrap up the clothing quickly, I’ll pay in Spirit Stones immediately."

"Oh? Okay, okay!"

Chen Jia regained her composure, took her gaze off Qin Gengyun’s face, and led him to the shopkeeper to pay in Spirit Stones, carefully wrapping up the bright red Hundred Pleats Cloud Pattern Skirt.

Carrying the bag with the skirt, Chen Jia diligently escorted him to the door, where Qin Gengyun suddenly turned back and said:

"Taoist Friend Chen, I’d like to ask a favor."

Chen Jia promptly smiled, "Taoist Friend Qin, no need to be formal, just say the word!"

Qin Gengyun lowered his voice, "I ask you not to mention my visit here to buy the Spirit Robe, my wife is beautiful with many admirers, I don’t wish to draw more attention to her."

Along with this explanation, it solidified his image of having painstakingly won the beautiful wife and striving to please her.

"Rest assured, Taoist Friend Qin, anything you ask will certainly be done."

Chen Jia smiled alluringly, her voice slightly faltering.

Qin Gengyun sensed something amiss in Chen Jia’s eyes, quickly took his leave, and stepped out.

"Taoist Friend Qin, take care, come again,"

Chen Jia’s gentle call followed, more like a Prostitute Cultivator from Yihong House seeing off a patron who had just spent Spirit Stones on herself than a lady from Rouge Pavilion.

Without looking back, Qin Gengyun walked away briskly.

Watching his back, Chen Jia’s eyes were dreamy and whispered to herself:

"Yang Fengshan struggles to gather a dowry of 150 Spirit Stones, yet Taoist Friend Qin casually buys two outfits for his wife costing thirty Spirit Stones, seems I misjudged. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have quickly agreed to that Fatty Yang! There are plenty of good men, I have to call off the engagement!"
