Chapter 29 -29: I Just Crave Her Body

Sword Master Tian Yan had long been unable to stand Shen Zhuo, and Shen Qinghe was not just Shen Zhuo’s most beloved daughter but also his disciple. If Nan Sheng defeated Shen Qinghe, wouldn’t it be the same as striking at Shen Zhuo?

With this in mind, he raised his voice and said, “Shengsheng, Qinghe, you should stop at touches, and take care not to harm the harmony.”

“No way! Qinghe doesn’t even have a sword, how can they have a match?!” Shen Zhiyao anxiously tried to stop them.

“Qinghe is both Shen Zhuo’s disciple and his flesh and blood, surely she is extremely talented. She just lacks a sword, why not lend her the Spirit Sword and that will settle it?” Sword Master Tian Yan didn’t give Shen Qinghe any chance to back out.

Xiao Chen frowned upon hearing this, his gaze involuntarily falling upon Shen Qinghe, with a faint sense of anticipation. If she asked him for help, maybe he would lend her a hand.

But Shen Qinghe did not glance his way even once, standing up to accept the challenge: “Miss Nan, please!”

In this situation, she could not shrink back in fear. Even though she was not a sword cultivator, she could not retreat. Otherwise, she would lose her father’s face.

It wasn’t until they were on the competition platform that the cultivators suddenly realized a major problem. Shen Qinghe not only lacked a spiritual artifact, she probably didn’t even know swordsmanship, right?

Nan Sheng, on the other hand, had received a Spirit Sword from Sword Master Tian Yan on the very day she became his apprentice.

The two young women stood on the platform, both dressed in white—one holding a Spirit Sword, the other empty-handed.

One appeared delicate and moving, invoking pity and love; the other was clear and pure, pure as jade.

They stood on the platform, creating a striking scene.

What was most amazing was that Shen Qinghe, who once had the least presence in the Sky Pole Sect, stood next to Nan Sheng, and they were surprisingly similar in both appearance and temperament.

Everybody knew that Nan Sheng was considered the most beautiful woman in the Sky Pole Sect, but facing such a beauty, Shen Qinghe was in no way inferior in terms of attractiveness.

A male cultivator was suddenly enchanted by Shen Qinghe and murmured to himself, “When did Qinghe become so beautiful?”

Xiao Chen stood behind the male cultivator, staring intently at Shen Qinghe on the platform.

In fact, as early as last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, he noticed that Shen Qinghe had become more beautiful. Especially after her Foundation Establishment, each time he saw her, her beauty was even more dazzling.

His desire for Shen Qinghe, was that what they call lust at first sight?

“Junior Brother, do you think Shengsheng is more beautiful, or is Qinghe?” asked Xiao Chen teasingly.

Yan Changsheng’s brows slightly furrowed, “Can they even be compared? Of course Shengsheng is more beautiful.”

Xiao Chen was not surprised by Yan Changsheng’s answer. Yan Changsheng was a stubborn man, fixated on his own logic, and would not change his stance on people and things he was determined about.

“That makes sense, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my view, Qinghe is the one with a more alluring beauty.” Xiao Chen’s fingertips itched, the sensation reaching the depths of his heart.

That was the reason he did not like Shen Qinghe; this woman could easily affect his emotions, and he was worried that one day she might affect his Dao Heart.

Hearing this, Yan Changsheng turned to look at Xiao Chen, a thin layer of frost tainting his gaze, “What does Big Senior Brother mean?”

He had not forgotten the scene from last year when Xiao Chen tried to steal a kiss from Shen Qinghe, so Xiao Chen was still harboring thoughts about Qinghe?

“Just thinking that Qinghe is good-looking, and if I could share a spring breeze with her…”

Yan Changsheng’s face shifted slightly, cutting off his indecent speech, “Since when has Big Senior Brother become so frivolous? Qinghe is not a woman that Big Senior Brother can casually get involved with!”

Xiao Chen chuckled, “Qinghe and Junior Brother currently have nothing to do with each other, does she need Junior Brother’s permission on which man she fancies?!”

Yan Changsheng’s expression darkened, “I do not permit you to touch her!”

Xiao Chen’s deep eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to look at Yan Changsheng, “On what grounds do you command me, Junior Brother? Surely you, with Shengsheng by your side, can’t begrudge Qinghe having other men around her.”

Yan Changsheng also realized his own lapse in composure. He took a deep breath, calmed the impatience in his heart, and tried to speak as evenly as possible: “Big Senior Brother can have any woman he wants, why go after Qinghe? She’s an innocent girl and Master’s beloved daughter. Big Senior Brother shouldn’t have improper thoughts about Qinghe.”

Xiao Chen looked deeply at Yan Changsheng, his lips curving indifferently: “I simply crave her body.”

Yan Changsheng’s eyes turned sharp with disbelief, unable to comprehend how Xiao Chen could be so blunt: “With so many beautiful female cultivators in the Sky Pole Sect, and so many admiring you, Big Senior Brother, why must you fixate on Qinghe?!”

Xiao Chen did not respond, but instead watched the two beauties on stage intently. They were both stunning in their own ways, yet it was Qinghe who made his heart itch.

He didn’t know if it was because he’d been alone for too long, but he had always been indifferent to any female cultivator. No matter how beautiful or how seductive they were, he simply had no interest.

Yet, since that night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he’d had these fanciful thoughts about Shen Qinghe, which was utterly ridiculous.

“I advise you, Big Senior Brother, don’t set your sights on Qinghe. She’s not a woman you can touch!” The cold voice of Yan Changsheng rose.

Even if he’d called off his engagement to Qinghe, he could not allow Xiao Chen to lay a finger on her.

Without agreeing or disagreeing, Xiao Chen spoke softly to Yan Changsheng: “If you want me to stop pursuing Qinghe, how about you give me Shengsheng instead? That would be a fair trade, wouldn’t it?”

Yan Changsheng, unable to contain his anger, exclaimed: “Absurd!!”

He was too agitated, and his loud voice attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

Seeing Yan Changsheng’s agitated state, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh: “Since Junior Brother can’t bear to part with Shengsheng, surely you don’t want to cling to Qinghe as well. You already have the most beautiful Shengsheng, Junior Brother, looking elsewhere wouldn’t be proper…”

“I am not! It’s just that Qinghe values relationships deeply and takes her feelings seriously. Big Senior Brother mustn’t provoke her!” Yan Changsheng tried to persuade Xiao Chen to change his mind.

Xiao Chen’s smile was full of amusement: “To get me to give up on Qinghe might be difficult, unless you hand over Shengsheng to me. Otherwise, I’ll have to settle for second best and take Qinghe for myself.”

Yan Changsheng pressed his lips tightly together, and it took a long time before a sentence squeezed through his clenched teeth: “I can’t possibly give Shengsheng to Big Senior Brother, so you better give up that idea right away!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded: “Then Qinghe is mine.”

Yan Changsheng opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but the competition on stage had already begun.

Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen’s attention was instantly captured by the two young girls on stage; Shen Zhiyao had already lent her Spirit Sword to Shen Qinghe.

As the contest began, Qinghe fumbled, nearly losing her grip on the Spirit Sword under Nan Sheng’s offensive.

Shen Zhiyao saw everything clearly and was so nervous her palms were sweating.

Nan Sheng saw Qinghe surrounded by her Sword Net, showing no intention of counterattacking, a gleam of mocking coldness flickered in her eyes.

The one-sided nature of the contest made it uninteresting to the spectators.

Just when everyone thought Qinghe would soon lose and leave the stage, the contest on stage dragged on, which was unexpected to everyone.

What they didn’t know was that even though Qinghe lacked real combat experience, she had been taught swordsmanship by Shen Zhuo from a young age to strengthen her frail body, and only in the last two years had her skills become rusty due to poor health.

Xiao Chen: Qinghe is my second choice.

Qinghe: Scram!!
