Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 82: My Life Is So Hard

Crack.

With Liu Su’s high-pitched shout, the Spirit Marrow in front of Qin Gengyun shattered, its Spiritual Energy entirely absorbed by Qin Gengyun.

[Cultivation +3]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer, 69/1000]

Phantom text appeared before Qin Gengyun’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

In the past, absorbing one piece of Spirit Marrow only increased his cultivation by 2 points, but with Susu’s help this time, absorbing one piece improved by an extra point!

It seems my wife wasn’t lying, the Mist Spirit Eye really can aid cultivation!

Though Susu may be a bit erratic, she’s undoubtedly useful.

Seems like listening to my wife wasn’t a mistake!

Having just hyped herself up, Liu Su was panting, and seeing Qin Gengyun staring intently at her, she defensively crossed her arms over her chest:

"What do you want?!"

Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and earnestly said, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Susu, for assisting me in my cultivation. I’m truly grateful!"

Liu Su was stunned, not expecting this black-hearted man to be quite polite, and laughed with her hands on her hips:

"Realize how amazing I am now? Call me master obediently, and your little wife has to follow suit..."

"Continue cultivating."

A cool voice sounded from the side, and Liu Su pouted, saying to Qin Gengyun:

"What are you dazing for? Keep going!"

Qin Gengyun was surprised: "I just need to circulate Spiritual Energy according to Taoist Friend Susu’s guidance, no need to trouble you further."

After all, being touched all over by a loud, whirlwind of a woman was a bit uncomfortable.

Liu Su clicked her tongue: "You think I want to, huh? A cultivator’s body is a treasure trove, with countless changes in the path of Spiritual Energy. If every cultivation session follows the same meridian, the improvement is very limited. The Mist Spirit Eye can always discern the optimal path for improving cultivation."

"If I set up a stall outside offering to help people cultivate, it’d cost at least ten Spirit Stones each time!"

"Consider yourself lucky, don’t you know?"

Qin Gengyun hadn’t anticipated this extra detail and, after thinking it over, said to Liu Su:

"In that case, let me add some compensation for you, Taoist Friend Susu. How about an extra fifty spirit coins each month?"

"... Well, thank you very much!" Liu Su’s fists clenched tightly.

What a black-hearted man!

Shameless! Brazen!

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Taoist Friend Susu, let’s begin again."

With that, he took out another piece of Spirit Marrow and closed his eyes.

Liu Su widened her eyes, "Be polite, my foot!"

I didn’t say anything like that!

She seethed, her chest heaving, but recalling the Saintess’s instructions, she swallowed her anger, activated the Mist Spirit Eye, and poked her finger into Qin Gengyun’s body.

"Harder, didn’t you eat?"

"I told you to relax, why so stiff?"

...

Five two-hour sessions passed, and Liu Su’s voice grew hoarse from excitement.

Today’s sixth piece of Spirit Marrow shattered.

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer, 84/1000]

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, his face full of delight.

In the past, consuming six pieces of Spirit Marrow only increased 12 points, but now it’s increased by 18 points!

It’s more than the points gained from five rounds of nighttime labor!

This is the first time Qin Gengyun’s own cultivation gains surpassed dual cultivation.

Of course, the efficiency of dual cultivation is still much higher.

In any case, it’s all thanks to Susu.

"Taoist Friend Susu."

Qin Gengyun was about to express his gratitude again when he saw Liu Su sprawled out on the ground, panting, hair disheveled, and eyes vacant.

"Friend, what’s wrong?"

Qin Gengyun hurriedly asked.

Liu Su glanced at him from the ground: "Brother, you’ve been at it for six hours, and you ask what’s wrong?"

Qin Gengyun apologized, "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist Friend Susu. If you’re quieter tomorrow, you might not be as exhausted."

In these six two-hour sessions, Liu Su was both directing and screaming with excitement, anyone would be tired.

Liu Su shot him a glare: "I’ll yell if I want to, what are you gonna do about it?"

At this moment, Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes and said lightly:

"Alchemy."

"Alright, Zhihe."

Qin Gengyun responded, walked to the bronze furnace, sat down, and waved to Liu Su:

"Taoist Friend Susu, come here."

Liu Su widened her eyes, "Still need to do alchemy?"

Qin Gengyun said, "I forgot to tell you, I practice for six hours every day, and then do alchemy for another two hours. It’s still early, so please come over, Taoist Friend Susu."

Liu Su was shocked.

What a black-hearted shopkeeper, squeezing people dry!

Qiu Zhihe got up, "I’m going to cook."

She walked to the door of the Pill Room, looked back at Liu Su, and said:

"There’s Upper Grade Spirit Flesh today, if you perform well, you’ll get to eat some tonight."

Liu Su chuckled coldly, as if I haven’t had meat before?

She got up, walked to the Pill Furnace, took up the Spirit Fan, and said to Qin Gengyun:

"What are you waiting for? Get started!"

Qin Gengyun smiled, pointing to the Pill Furnace and the ingredients beside it.

The implication being, that as a Medicine Attendant, these tasks should be done by you.

"..." Liu Su was almost choked with anger, glaring fiercely at him, she ignited the Pill Stone, opened the side cover of the Pill Furnace, and placed the ingredients inside one by one.

Soon, the sound of Liu Su’s excited and hoarse voice echoed in the Alchemy Room.

Two two-hour sessions later.

Qin Gengyun, refreshed, walked out of the Alchemy Room. He had successfully crafted two Ice Purity Pills again and believed that in two days, he would have eight Ice Purity Pills to combat the Pill Poison in the Spirit Field.

"Such a delicious aroma! Zhihe’s cooking skills are getting better!"

He sat down beside the table, looked at the meat soup on the table, and praised Qiu Zhihe.

Qiu Zhihe looked at the Alchemy Room: "Where’s Susu?"

Qin Gengyun called out, "Taoist Friend Susu, time to eat."

"Coming, coming....."

Only to see a disheveled woman crawl out of the Alchemy Room, her hair covering her face, reminding Qin Gengyun of Sadako from horror movies in his past life.

Liu Su crawled to the table, leaned on the edge with both hands, struggled to prop herself up, and sat down. Seeing the meat soup on the table, a spark finally appeared in her lifeless eyes.

"Wow, my meat!"

Wuwuwu, it’s so hard to have a meal with meat!

Qiu Zhihe, with great care, ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you, madam."

Liu Su said emotionally.

You black-hearted woman, turns out there’s a bit of kindness left.

Huh?

Liu Su was surprised: "Why is there only one piece of meat in my bowl?"

Qiu Zhihe said blandly: "You don’t need Spirit Flesh to supplement Primordial Qi during cultivation, this meat is of no benefit to you, just taste the flavor."

With that, she ladled another bowl for Qin Gengyun, this time filling it to the brim with meat, forming a small mound.

"Zhihe, thank you, you should eat too."

Qin Gengyun took the bowl, turned around to ladle another for Qiu Zhihe, adding several extra pieces of meat.

"I don’t need to eat meat."

"If you don’t eat, then I won’t eat either."

"... Alright then."

Qiu Zhihe didn’t refuse further, lowered her head to eat, and Qin Gengyun smiled, saying to the dazed Liu Su: 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Taoist Friend Susu, you should eat too."

Liu Su listlessly picked up the single piece of meat in her bowl.

Wuwuwu, my life is so hard.
