Chapter 661: Chapter 321: Don’t Bully Her

"Wow, isn’t this like being on duty all day? So strict!"

"Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo are really diligent in their cultivation, aren’t they?"

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er didn’t know the true meaning of what Qiu Zhihe meant about his cultivation with Qin Gengyun after midnight. Their little mouths were wide open, looking at the two with admiration.

Yun Wu blinked and suddenly realized, "I get it. After midnight, Sister Qiu and Brother Qin are going to dual... mmm!"

Wei Wan quickly covered her mouth, "Xiaowu, some things are better understood a bit later."

Mo Xiaolan and Fang Xue exchanged glances, their cheeks slightly red. Among those present, apart from Yun Wu, they were the youngest.

Hearing such matters spoken publicly by Qiu Zhihe made them feel like naive maidens being shown life by an experienced woman who is open.

Liu Su covered her mouth, looking amused.

The young master and I are both weaklings; while he’s arranged to cultivate all day, after midnight I get to rest.

Haha, Miss really overlooked me.

Sweet relief!

"Liu Su will spar with the Celestial Phoenix Maiden after midnight each day."

"What?"

"Gah?"

Qiu Zhihe’s next words made Liu Su’s expression halt in its tracks, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden could not hide her confusion and anger.

Why must I, a dignified Celestial Phoenix Maiden and Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, accompany a Golden Core weakling in cultivation?

But after Qiu Zhihe shot her a cold glance, she could only bow her proud bird head.

Well, if the young master insists, I’ll comply since she’s his maid.

Liu Su suddenly cried out, "Getting slashed by the Xuetang Sword at night, burned by the Divine Phoenix Fire after midnight, Miss, what is this Ice and Fire Two Layers of Heaven ah!"

Qiu Zhihe said calmly, "Your Mist Spirit Eye is on the verge of improvement, it needs tempering with ice and fire, Xiaoxue and Huang are perfect for it."

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er couldn’t help but click their tongues in admiration, "Junior Sister Ruo is so strict, He Su is really pitiful."

Then they heard their names from Qiu Zhihe’s mouth:

"Xu Caihe, Zhou Ling’Er, what are your plans for the future?"

The two were startled, seeing Qiu Zhihe looking at them with cold eyes made their hearts jump.

Their answers might very well concern their life and death.

Zhou Ling’Er looked at Xu Caihe, who nodded to her, Zhou Ling’Er gathered her courage and said loudly:

"Caihe and I actually prefer Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo. If possible, we’d like to stand with you, but..."

Zhou Ling’Er cautiously glanced at Qiu Zhihe and continued:

"We still have Zhenlian City behind us. If we make a wrong move, it could implicate the entire Zhenlian City. I’m sorry, Senior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo, we haven’t decided what to do in the future."

After speaking, Zhou Ling’Er hugged Xu Caihe and closed their eyes, waiting for death.

Actually, they could have lied, dissembled their unwavering loyalty to Junior Sister Ruo, and after passing the test, looked for a chance to flee.

But they didn’t do so because their hearts told them that the Zhenyang Sect wasn’t so righteous, and while Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo were ruthless in their actions, they never harmed innocent people.

On the contrary, they seemed more honest than the Zhenyang Sect, which constantly boasted about righteousness.

The two young girls were afraid of death but still held an unyielding Tao Heart and refused to speak insincere words.

They held each other, sniffling and waiting for a long time until they heard Qiu Zhihe say:

"You two will cultivate with my husband and Susu during the day and spar with me at night."

"Huh?"

The two young girls opened their mouths wide, faces bitter as they said:

"Junior Sister Ruo, you might as well kill us."

Clearly, this group is headed by Junior Sister Ruo, even Fang Xue who is formidable calls her ’Master.’ If we spar with her, we won’t survive the night.

Qiu Zhihe ignored the two crying young girls and said calmly, "Start cultivating now."

Everyone agreed, Qin Gengyun and Liu Su sat opposite each other, palms touching, with the Mist Spirit Eye appearing above their heads and Yun Wu beside them spitting out spiritual energy.

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er pitifully sat with them and started cultivating under Qiu Zhihe’s sharp gaze.

Fang Xue, Mo Xiaolan, and Wei Wan each cultivated on their own nearby, occasionally verifying and discussing things.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden flapped her wings, about to perch on a tall tree for a nap when Qiu Zhihe pulled her down, causing her to helplessly transform back into human form and sit cross-legged beside Qiu Zhihe to cultivate.

For a time, the Hidden Moon Cliff seemed to become the most focused place for learning on Zhenyang Mountain.

Time quickly passed to night, ending the peaceful daytime cultivation and transitioning to sparring time.

Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan exchanged smiles.

"Please, Taoist Friend Mo."

"Please, Taoist Friend Qin."

Then it was a dark long staff entwined with a shower of blossoms.

Meanwhile, Liu Su and Fang Xue were sparring.

"Xiaoxue, please go easy! Ow, you keep going?"

"I quit, ouch!"

As for Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, they stood shoulder to shoulder, determined to fight against the cold and relentless Junior Sister Ruo.

"Waaa, Junior Sister Ruo, stop hitting us, we yield."

"Aggh, it hurts, Junior Sister Ruo, stop applying force, waaa..."

Amidst screams, midnight finally arrived.

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, as if pardoned from their sentences, slumped to the ground, unwilling to move another step.

Liu Su also wanted to collapse until a sound of wings flapping came from above. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden descended, glaring at her with a pair of bird eyes:

"Grrr!"

Liu Su gritted her teeth, "Stupid bird, I’ll fight you!"

"Yow! I was wrong, little Huang spare me."

Liu Su was pressed to the ground and tormented by the phoenix, while the others left Hidden Moon Cliff with calm expressions, returning to their respective peaks.

After all, they were still Zhenyang Sect disciples publicly; their external identities had to be maintained.

Only Qiu Zhihe didn’t return to Danxia Peak but instead followed Qin Gengyun to Divinity Transformation Peak.

Because Qin Gengyun, as a steward disciple, lived in a wider house with a larger bed, facilitating their "cultivation."

They spoke little along the way, only their breathing grew heavier, hearts filled with excitement and anticipation.

Reaching Divinity Transformation Peak and entering the house, Qiu Zhihe quickly laid down two Isolation Arrays, and with a sweet cry, she was lifted into Qin Gengyun’s arms.

"Bold unruly disciple, what do you intend to do?"

"Master, didn’t you want to cultivate with me?"

"You... ah!"

...

Two hours later.

"Wife, wife? Are you alright?"

Soft calls from Qin Gengyun woke Qiu Zhihe from her post-storm dizziness, she complained:

"Husband, you’re becoming more audacious!"

Qin Gengyun smiled, "Wife, if not exerting fully, how can the effects of cultivation be optimal?"

He intended to continue cultivating together with his wife.

Suddenly, Qin Gengyun’s body trembled, his eyes turned a chilly white, and an icy aura rapidly filled the entire house!

White light flickered on his chest, a residual soul faintly appeared. Seeing Qiu Zhihe’s current state, it was filled with fury:

"Stop, don’t bully her!"
