Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 56: The Goddess’s Summons

Midnight.

Narrow Rain Lane.

Snowflakes danced around, covering the cobblestone-paved streets with a thick layer of white.

Inside the warm house.

The tenth session of fifty breaths just ended.

Just tolerate him one last time today. Tomorrow night, tomorrow night for sure, I’ll make him pay!

Qiu Zhihe faced the wall, biting her silver tooth, making another silent vow.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, are you alright?"

Qin Gengyun noticed something off about Qiu Zhihe and asked softly, but got a cold reply:

"Asleep!"

"Alright, sleep then."

Seeing she was fine, Qin Gengyun was a bit relieved, and added all 30 points to his cultivation.

[Name: Qin Gengyun]

[Lifespan: 35/40]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 104/500]

[Skill: First-Tier Alchemist, 113/200]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (50/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (57/1000)]

The cultivation increased to 108 points, and the Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots each grew by 20 points.

The next day.

The same routine continued, alchemy and self-cultivation during the day, consuming three Spirit Marrow to raise his cultivation to [Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 110/500]

However, the dual cultivation at night ran into a bit of trouble.

Qin Gengyun suddenly discovered that tonight, the ice and fire within Qiu Zhihe’s body became more intense once again.

After the fifth session of forty breaths, he couldn’t help but ask:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, today... it seems your ice and fire are even stronger?"

Qiu Zhihe turned her back to him, replied coldly with a hmm, and asked:

"Is there a problem?"

"No, none..."

Half a shichen later.

Qin Gengyun smiled wryly at Qiu Zhihe, saying, "Maybe we should rest for a day tomorrow."

Qiu Zhihe turned around: "Not feeling well?"

Could it be she didn’t suppress the Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique earlier and hurt him?

"No."

Qin Gengyun felt a bit embarrassed, whispered:

"Just feeling a little exhausted physically."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly leaned closer, scaring Qin Gengyun: "Taoist Friend Qiu, not today!"

But Qiu Zhihe made no move, just looked carefully at his face.

In the darkness, her eyes seemed concerned, even her cold voice softened:

"Really okay?"

"I’m fine, really."

Qin Gengyun then realized his wife was concerned about him, and he smiled:

"Don’t worry, Taoist Friend Qiu, just a little tired. A day of rest will do."

Their brows almost touched, Qiu Zhihe was startled, quickly pulled back, and turned away somewhat flustered.

"Sleep."

"Okay."

Qin Gengyun was a bit puzzled, not knowing what was going on with her.

A moment later, Qiu Zhihe’s breathing became steady, and Qin Gengyun brought up the attribute panel and added points again.

All 30 points were added to the cultivation.

[Name: Qin Gengyun]

[Lifespan: 35/40]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 140/500]

[Skill: First-Tier Alchemist, 113/200]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (70/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (77/1000)]

He needed to adjust the cultivation rhythm, with the optimal number of times being five per day. This way, each day would yield only 15 points from dual cultivation.

The efficiency of dual cultivation decreased, necessitating compensation through self-cultivation.

Over the past few days, three pieces of Spirit Marrow were used daily, enhancing 6 points in cultivation.

From tomorrow, six Spirit Marrow would be used daily, increasing 12 points through self-cultivation, ensuring a rise to the Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer in just over ten days.

The Pavilion Master should still be investigating the matter of those two hundred bags of Clear Wind Powder, and he felt uneasy without rapid cultivation advancement.

One piece of Spirit Marrow cost ten Spirit Stones, and the 700 Spirit Stones he recently earned would likely be spent entirely on this.

However, more Spirit Stones can be earned again; cultivation is what truly matters.

Qin Gengyun turned slightly, looking at Qiu Zhihe beside him.

Only with enough strength can he protect the ones he holds dear.

...

Is he really okay?

Could he truly be injured by my Profound Ice and Li Fire?

Xia Qinglian, you’ve been so self-absorbed in your rage, what if his foundations are damaged?

At this moment, Qiu Zhihe was also not asleep, her mind swirling with thoughts, heart filled with self-reproach.

No, I have to find a way to replenish him!

...

...

a.m.

In a room diagonally opposite Qin Gengyun’s residence.

Snow whirled outside, while inside was as warm as spring.

Three male cultivators lay sprawled on a bed, Zhao Yi’s fingers plugged into Qian Er’s nostrils, Qian Er gripping Sun San’s vital parts, and Sun San’s toes in Zhao Yi’s mouth.

They were sleeping soundly.

Since being subdued by the red-haired senior, they followed her instructions, no longer robbing or killing.

Fortunately, they had saved a lot of Spirit Stones during their time at the Blood Pill Sect from looting, so they didn’t need to worry about living expenses for now.

With snowfall starting these past few days, the senior hadn’t summoned them, and the trio spent their time listening to music at Yihong House, then returning to sleep soundly at night, enjoying a carefree life.

Suddenly, they woke with a shock, crying out in pain.

"Senior, the senior finally summons us!"

"It hurts, oh it hurts! Senior, I thought you forgot about us, waaa..."

"Senior, I’m coming to your side right away, awoooo!"

Their wails seemed to carry a hint of excitement, like abandoned dogs called once more by their master.

An incense stick time later.

Willow Smoke Lane.

"Senior, I’ve missed you so much! You’re my goddess!"

"Senior, I’ve finally seen you again!"

"Senior, no, goddess, your shoes are dirty, let me lick them for you."

"Get lost Zhao Yi, it’s my turn to lick, not yours!"

"Let’s duel, to see who’s worthy to lick the goddess senior’s shoes!"

The three robed men jostled for position, kneeling in front of the tall red-haired female cultivator; their devotion was immense, nearly coming to blows to win the privilege of licking her shoes.

"Noisy!"

The red-haired female cultivator coldly snorted, raised her hand slightly, and the three of them fell to the ground, wailing and rolling in the snow.

"Mercy, senior, we dare not make noise again!"

The trio begged amidst the cries, and the red-haired female cultivator finally withdrew her divine power.

The three robed men knelt again, respectfully asking:

"Senior, what are your instructions?"

"I need the best quality Spirit Flesh, like that Spiritual Mastiff meat you fetched last time... procure it for me by 5 a.m. today."

The red-haired female cultivator’s voice was ethereal, yet her words sounded somewhat odd, like a housewife shopping for meat at a market.

"Yes! Rest assured, senior, we will fetch it for you by tomorrow!"

The trio immediately agreed.

The red-haired female cultivator paused and added:

"I need this kind of Spirit Flesh daily."

"Yes, yes!"

The trio kowtowed in affirmation, and upon raising their heads, the red-haired female cultivator was already gone.

Zhao Yi appeared troubled: "High-grade Spirit Flesh is quite hard to obtain; should we steal a Spiritual Mastiff again? How many Spiritual Mastiffs can Yunling Town possibly have?"

Qian Er rubbed his chin: "What do you think the senior needs so much Spirit Flesh for? To eat herself?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "If it were for herself, she wouldn’t need so much."

Qian Er speculated: "Could the senior already be married, and she’s gathering Spirit Flesh for her husband?"

Zhao Yi and Sun San looked at him simultaneously, sneering:

"Could someone as goddess-like as the senior possibly do kitchen chores for someone else?"

Qian Er also realized his guess was absurd, hurriedly raised his voice: "It was presumptuous of me, senior forgive! We will secure the high-grade Spirit Flesh for you!"
