He doesn't want to touch me at all, even if he's stuck in Cui Yuanyang's form...

Piaomiao pursed her lips and slowly said, "Your intimacy affects me."

Zhao Changhe said coldly, "What does that have to do with us as a couple? It's not like we invited you to inhabit this body. Of course, I know you are a victim as well, and this isn't how you wanted to awaken, so you're not to blame. But we aren't either. I don't wish to resent you, and you shouldn't disrupt our marital life because of your issues... If you don't want to be affected, I suggest you sleep."

Piaomiao stared intently into Zhao Changhe's eyes.

It was clear that Zhao Changhe was angry, referring to the "Divine" as "you," his words much harsher than before. If he weren't worried about angering her and causing harm to Cui Yuanyang, he might have said something even nastier.

Originally, sleeping was an option, just like before she awakened—whatever happened, happened... But now, the concern was if after sleeping, would she be attacked?

Zhao Changhe seemed to understand her worry and said calmly, "What you're worried about... Even if you worry about the alliance partner on that side, Miss Jiuyou, you don't need to worry about me, Zhao Changhe."

Ye Jiuyou sneered without responding.

Piaomiao's heart flashed with Zhao Changhe's behavior she had observed over these days—how he exchanged himself out to protect friends at a life-and-death moment, getting injured in the process. She was silent for a long while before finally saying, "Give me a time limit."

Zhao Changhe said, "It's already evening now, give us one night."

Piaomiao knew Zhao Changhe was forcibly tolerating this, as it was his wife's body, which should remain hers indefinitely. Agreeing to give it back to her after one night was already very cautious, fearing she'd harm Cui Yuanyang, and was a concession made under strong tolerance.

Piaomiao sighed and said softly, "Okay."

With those words, her consciousness fell silent, and when it reappeared, it was Cui Yuanyang again.

Cui Yuanyang tilted her head, examining Zhao Changhe who was standing still, waved her hand in front of him: "Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Changhe forced a smile, took her hand, and started walking down the mountain: "Sorry for the trouble."

Cui Yuanyang said, "It's nothing... Sister Piaomiao seems to trust you a lot; she actually dared to sleep."

Zhao Changhe was a bit stunned, paused, and said, "She really fell asleep?"

"Mm."

"No wonder in a past life she was harmed by the blind fool... She actually dared to trust me..." Zhao Changhe shook his head, "Honestly, to save my wife, there's nothing I wouldn't do."

Cui Yuanyang smiled slightly, "You wouldn't do that, Brother Zhao. Even if you were willing before, once discovering she's willing to trust you, you can't bring yourself to do it anymore."

Zhao Changhe rubbed his head, feeling a bit troubled.

"Let's go." Cui Yuanyang cheerfully hugged Zhao Changhe's arm, "Now that Sister Piaomiao is asleep, we can do anything..."

The so-called walk on the Snow Mountain didn't happen, as Cui Yuanyang was too lazy to look at those things, wanting only to cling to Zhao Changhe. Instead of climbing the icy mountain, it was better to really go to the Cave Mansion, light a warm campfire, and lean on fragrant bedding exchanging sweet words.

Previously, there was concern about Piaomiao sharing perception, but now that she's asleep, there was nothing to fear.

Ye Jiuyou extended a hand, hesitated to speak, and then let it fall.

That's my damn bed.

Forget it, having evidence of losing a gamble in Zhao Changhe's hands at this time, what if he really makes a move? Evading the debt and affecting future cooperation isn't worth it; better to give him a benefit now and have a reason to justify myself tomorrow when refusing.

In Ye Jiuyou's Cave Mansion, Zhao Changhe lit a campfire, and on the fragrant bed, Cui Yuanyang's hair spread out, clothes loosened, leaving only a small embroidered undergarment as she leaned against the headboard, her head resting on Zhao Changhe's shoulder.

Her slender hands gently brushed across Zhao Changhe's robust chest, where there were no scars left.

"You... did it hurt when you previously carved the flesh?"

"You saw that too?"

"Mm... from the moment you entered the Han Chi Abyss, we watched all the images."

"If someone is watching me, I should have been able to perceive it... Seems it's really a matter of strength; Ye Jiuyou and Piaomiao are much stronger than me, so I couldn't perceive it, just like not knowing if the blind fool is watching me."

Zhao Changhe's tone was somewhat disgruntled, Cui Yuanyang turned and kissed his ear: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself; they are the strongest Demon Gods of Ancient Times, and you've only been cultivating for less than three years."

"Time waits for no one... like your current situation, it's also because I'm not strong enough. Forget about finding a solution, I'm even afraid to speak harshly to Piaomiao, in case I provoke her and she harms you."

"You don't really need to blame Sister Piaomiao... After all, she can't disturb us now." Cui Yuanyang's delicate hand gently moved down, brushing over his abs, "If you're still unhappy, you can treat me as her, and give a good lesson..."

"Where's this coming from, I care about you too much to even think of it."

"Hehe... Caring for me is like teaching her a lesson." Cui Yuanyang's hand had already reached somewhere dangerous.

Zhao Changhe trembled a bit: "You little vixen."

Cui Yuanyang said, "You know, when I saw how covered in wounds you were... Ying Wu said to find you a partner for Dual Cultivation, I just wished I could control the body and serve you myself... But I couldn't move, and could only cry in a corner. Now you're here..."

Zhao Changhe softly said, "It's okay, doesn't your husband know himself by now? Getting into fights and not getting injured just wouldn't be me, it's fate. Alright, let's drop this, talking about injuries during a good moment is inauspicious..."

"Then look at something else..." Cui Yuanyang bit her lip lightly, guiding his hand into her undergarment, "Look, isn't it different from when we were newlyweds, this is how it was when we roamed the Worldly Society... Did you want to touch it back then? Actually, if you wanted to then, maybe, maybe I would have agreed..."

Zhao Changhe thought he'd become desensitized after so many battles, only to find himself heated up by a young girl's teasing: "Little vixen, Piaomiao's asleep, but Ye Jiuyou is watching."

"Her? Let her watch then, a concubine coming later, let her learn firsthand how to serve her husband."

"..."

Cui Yuanyang's big eyes began to look misty: "I've had too little time with my husband... I don't want to care about so many things anymore, what Jiuyou or Piaomiao or family teachings... I just want to seize every breath of time, cling to my husband and never part again. Even if, even if you say I'm shameless, I don't care..."
