Chapter 76 -74: Vows of Eternal Love End in Vain

Xiao Chen glared at Shen Qinghe’s lips, “Even if you don’t say it, I know you’ve been fooling around with the Wuya Sword behind Brother Changsheng’s back. Shen Qinghe, how desperately do you need a man that you won’t even let go of a Sword Spirit?”

Why could she kiss a Sword Spirit, but not him?

The thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly, he realized he was actually jealous of a Sword Spirit.

He was clearly in love with Nan Sheng, so why did he feel possessive over Shen Qinghe?

“You can think whatever you want, you may leave now,” Shen Qinghe dismissed, assuming Xiao Chen was just taking up for Yan Changsheng.

She and Yan Changsheng were going to divorce sooner or later…

No, that’s not right, this is just an Illusory Realm. Aside from the Snow Bone Grass, everything else here is an illusion, including the people and events, and of course, the Wuya Sword. She wouldn’t get carried away.

“Since you can kiss a Sword Spirit, you surely wouldn’t mind kissing me,” Xiao Chen said, approaching Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe, unable to contend with the Wuya Sword Spirit and without Cultivation Base, still had her swordsmanship. Seeing Xiao Chen closing in, she drew her sword to confront him, “Xiao Chen, I know you like Nan Sheng. If you have the courage, go fight with Yan Changsheng for her. Don’t try to make your presence felt around me; I don’t owe you anything!”

She was certain Xiao Chen liked Nan Sheng and sure that even within this Illusory Realm, there wouldn’t be any emotional entanglement between them.

Xiao Chen looked at Shen Qinghe coldly, “You are no match for me!”

She was willing to kiss a Sword Spirit but not keen on kissing him. Was he really inferior to a lifeless Sword Spirit?

Shen Qinghe did not bother with idle talk and attacked with her sword.

Initially, he believed that Dongfang Wuya had already transformed, and the Wuya Sword no longer possessed the Spiritual Energy it used to. Perhaps it was due to Dongfang Wuya’s Divine Sense on the sword, but the Wuya Sword’s Sword Qi was like a rainbow. Coupled with her exceptional swordsmanship, she forced Xiao Chen into a retreat from the start.

Xiao Chen was taken aback.

Shen Qinghe indeed had learned her Swordsmanship from Shen Zhuo, but with her insufficient Inner Strength, she couldn’t normally bring out the unique prowess of the Shen Family Sword.

However, today, Shen Qinghe’s Sword Qi was overwhelming. Even with his profound Inner Strength, the fierce Sword Qi prevented him from getting close to her.

Several dozen exchanges later, he hadn’t gained the slightest advantage against her, a sign he had never experienced before.

Shen Qinghe had noticed this as well.

Previously, she had been unable to fight back against Yan Changsheng’s attacks, but now the Wuya Sword was incredibly domineering; even a powerful expert like Xiao Chen was at a loss. This thrilled her.

For the first time, she thought that this Illusory Realm wasn’t so bad. Here she was no longer the weaker party and could fight Xiao Chen to a draw.

Xiao Chen had obviously noticed too. After feinting and retreating a few steps, he said, “Qinghe, we’re friends, not enemies. We should calmly sit down and have a proper talk.”

Shen Qinghe didn’t feel like she had anything to discuss with Xiao Chen.

“You’re just upset that Changsheng left you on the wedding night to be with Nan Sheng, which is why you mixed up with the Sword Spirit. How about this, you be with me, and I’ll help you slap Changsheng’s face. How does that sound?” Xiao Chen thought it was a good idea.

“Not good at all.” Shen Qinghe wielded her sword at Xiao Chen, “Get out!”

Seeing Shen Qinghe act so aggressively, Xiao Chen was very displeased. He wanted to persuade her, but she thrust her sword at his vital spots.

With no choice, he dodged left and right, until he inadvertently found himself outside the bridal chamber.

Xiao Chen stood still for a moment, then suddenly felt his behavior was ridiculous. He should be snatching Nan Sheng from Changsheng’s hands, not entangling himself with Shen Qinghe here.

Upon learning about the use of Snow Bone Grass, Nan Sheng developed a strong interest in it.

She pestered Yan Changsheng to let her see the Snow Bone Grass. Although Yan Changsheng was very indulgent towards her, the Snow Bone Grass was indeed the most important immortal herb in his possession.

After being reminded by Shen Qinghe, he suddenly remembered that there was only one Snow Bone Grass plant, and if he and Nan Sheng wanted to be together forever, it would be better to give it to Shen Qinghe.

Once Shen Qinghe volunteered to leave, he would be able to marry Nan Sheng and bring her home.

Seeing that Yan Changsheng remained silent, Nan Sheng’s pretty face fell, “Brother Changsheng said he loves me, yet he won’t even let me see the Snow Bone Grass. Is Brother Changsheng worried I will monopolize it?”

“How about I give the Snow Bone Grass to Qinghe? That way she would step aside, and I could officially marry you and give you a rightful status,” Yan Changsheng said, his eyes burning with intensity as he looked at Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng was shocked by his words and blurted out, “I disagree! Why should the Snow Bone Grass that Brother Changsheng has painstakingly nurtured be given to someone else? Such a treasure should only be given to me!”

The room fell into a sudden silence, and Nan Sheng knew she had misspoken. Softening her tone, she said, “I just feel that the Snow Bone Grass should not be given to anyone, especially not Shen Qinghe. It’s the fruit of Brother Changsheng’s labor, and it should not be given to others so lightly. You can’t just hand over the Snow Bone Grass because of me.”

Yan Changsheng pondered for a moment before he said, “But there is only one Snow Bone Grass, and it would be better given to Qinghe, after all, I owe her. If she gets the Snow Bone Grass, she would ask to leave, and my debt to her would be repaid, then you and I could be together for our whole lives. Shengsheng, don’t you think this is a perfect solution?”

Nan Sheng was only moved by the Snow Bone Grass. With such beauty, she did not want to grow old after only a few decades. If there was a chance for cultivation, why not seize the opportunity?

“As long as I can be with Brother Changsheng, I’m happy without any official status,” Nan Sheng replied after some deliberation.

Yan Changsheng embraced Nan Sheng in his arms and the room quieted down.

Before knowing about the Snow Bone Grass, Nan Sheng had hinted more than once that it would be demeaning for her to be a concubine, she wanted to marry him as his wife.

After she learned of the existence of the Snow Bone Grass, she said she would be happy to be with him regardless of status.

So, in Nan Sheng’s heart, the Snow Bone Grass was more important than him as a person.

Nan Sheng knew she had said something wrong, but she just couldn’t stand the thought of the Snow Bone Grass falling into Shen Qinghe’s hands. The Snow Bone Grass was hers, and she wanted to ascend to immortality.

She wanted to steer the conversation back to the Snow Bone Grass, but Yan Changsheng kept changing the subject. Eventually, she became angry, “If you give the Snow Bone Grass to Shen Qinghe, then I don’t want you either.”

Yan Changsheng never expected Nan Sheng to be so heartless. He had thought he was overthinking, but now it was clear that he was less important in Nan Sheng’s heart than a plant of Snow Bone Grass.

He was willing to give up the chance to become Immortal, only wishing to be an ordinary couple with her in the Mortal Realm for decades. In contrast, Nan Sheng would rather have the Snow Bone Grass than marry him as his wife.

A single Snow Bone Grass plant turned their vows of eternal love into nothing but empty words.

In the following half-month, Yan Changsheng never went to find Nan Sheng again. Initially, Nan Sheng didn’t care, thinking that Yan Changsheng loved her so much that he would come to her after a few days.

After half a month passed, she started to get restless and began feigning illness.

The maid she sent took an hour to return and brought back a doctor, but there was no sign of Yan Changsheng.

“Speak your mind,” Nan Sheng said, seeing the maid’s hesitation.

“The Young City Lord is in the Young Lady’s room,” the maid confessed the truth.

The adorably devoted Wuya Sword is about to go offline, and I kind of don’t want to part with him. Besides, Snow Bone City isn’t just a simple Illusory Realm, haha.
