Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 572 - 232: Coo Coo?

At the base of Cyan Lotus Mountain.

A group of people lay in ambush in the forest, their eyes eagerly fixed on the road down the mountain.

Someone finally couldn’t hold back and whispered to the Qiongqi lying next to him:

"Elder Zuo, we’ve been squatting here for so long, why hasn’t anyone come down? Could it be that the people from Zhenyang Sect have already left?"

Zuoqiu snorted coldly: "They traveled all the way to Cyan Lotus Mountain for a reason. How could they leave so quickly? Keep watching, I’m determined to taste the fairy of Zhenyang Sect!"

"Elder Zuo, look!"

Someone pointed to the sky, where a streak of light flew across.

"Someone flew away on a sword?"

"It doesn’t look like it."

"It seems more like it was thrown out."

"Elder Zuo, should we check it out?"

"Check what? It might just be a heap of alchemical waste. Ignore it!"

Zuoqiu glared at the subordinate who made the suggestion with beastly eyes, coldly saying:

"Keep your eyes on them! I won’t believe it otherwise!"

...

"Husband, what did you say?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at Qin Gengyun, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan were also puzzled.

"Wow, son-in-law, are you tired of the lady already? As expected, men are no good. How about I keep you company tonight? Try a new path! Ah!"

Qiu Zhihe tugged at Liu Su’s ear, ignoring the fellow’s screams, and said to Qin Gengyun:

"Husband, what do you want to do?"

Qin Gengyun said: "This evil thing seems to have its eyes on us. It won’t stop until it kills us all. Rather than wait for it to continue killing, we should lure it out."

"My dear, didn’t you say this thing likes Yang Qi? My Yang Qi is the strongest among these male disciples, if I use myself as bait, it will definitely take the bait!"

"No!" Qiu Zhihe immediately denied the proposal without thinking.

Qin Gengyun continued: "My dear, didn’t the flame you gave me have the ability to restrain this kind of Yin Qi condensed thing? If you ambush around, there won’t be any danger."

Qiu Zhihe shook her head firmly: "Those four people were killed without any struggle. This thing must have some means we are not yet aware of. You being the bait is too risky!"

Mo Xiaolan also added: "Yeah, Qin Gengyun, this evil creature is too treacherous, using someone as bait is not appropriate."

Qiu Zhihe, however, said: "Husband’s idea isn’t impossible, but it can’t be you. We’ll catch a male disciple to use as bait."

Liu Su clapped her hands: "Yeah, yeah, as long as the son-in-law doesn’t go as bait, it doesn’t matter who else dies!"

"..." Mo Xiaolan looked helplessly at the two.

Qin Gengyun shook his head with a smile: "But the others have no way to resist Yin Qi. If we send them, they will surely die and we still won’t catch that thing. Plus..."

Qin Gengyun paused and suddenly looked at Qiu Zhihe: "My dear, you don’t really want someone else to catch that thing, do you?"

In fact, Qin Gengyun had noticed earlier that his wife seemed to be quite concerned about this Residual Soul.

But this Residual Soul only killed disciples from Zhenyang Sect, which had nothing to do with his wife.

Why was she so attentive?

This was unlike his wife’s usual behavior.

Upon careful thought, he guessed that there were fellow disciples of his wife once on Cyan Lotus Mountain, and perhaps this Residual Soul was an acquaintance of his wife.

She had recognized it, so she was particularly concerned with the matter and naturally didn’t want Zhenyang Sect to capture the Residual Soul.

Seeing her disagreement at this time, he simply spoke out.

Qiu Zhihe was startled, looking at him with some surprise, then she chuckled:

"Husband, you’re getting sharper and more detailed. As a teacher, I’m very pleased."

Qin Gengyun laughed heartily: "My dear, you like playing the role of my teacher so much. Next time we cultivate, why don’t you take on the teacher’s appearance?"

Qiu Zhihe glared at him: "I’ll think about it later, let’s go to your room first!"

With that, she decisively pulled Qin Gengyun away.

Mo Xiaolan and Liu Su were left bewildered.

"What are the lady and son-in-law talking about?"

Qiu Zhihe angrily pulled Qin Gengyun, though she was petite and delicate, Qin Gengyun was strong like a tower, but was unable to break free from her grip.

He couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

Despite obtaining the Divine Phoenix Flame from the Celestial Phoenix Mountain, leveling up three minor realms to reach Golden Core Sixth-Layer,

even ambushing Nascent Soul Second-Layer Cheng Qingyu left him helpless for a moment.

Yet in his wife’s presence, he was always the easily managed little brother.

Qiu Zhihe soon dragged him to Qin Gengyun’s room, where Shi Ying and a group were discussing the recent murder case, and were quite shocked to see Junior Sister Ruo pulling He Zhiqiu straight into the room.

The group was instantly dumbfounded.

"Did He Zhiqiu just go to Junior Sister Ruo’s room?"

"Does Junior Sister Ruo seem to be taking the initiative this time?"

"Tsk tsk, truly shameless and impassioned, without any regard!"

"Senior Brother Shi, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just fine, hahaha."

Qiu Zhihe dragged Qin Gengyun into the room, shut the door with a bang, and looked at him coldly.

Qin Gengyun awkwardly said: "My dear, why are you angry?"

Qiu Zhihe stepped forward, looking at him with a teasing smile: "Husband, you’re getting smarter and know how to threaten me now."

Qin Gengyun hurriedly stepped back: "You misunderstand, my dear, I just wanted to confirm if I was right."

"You guessed correctly. That Residual Soul indeed felt familiar to me, so I don’t want Zhenyang Sect to capture it. But husband, how could you use this to threaten me?"

"I’m worried about your safety, and you treat me this way?"

Qiu Zhihe pressed forward, and Qin Gengyun’s back slammed against the wall with a thud, resulting in an unexpected kabedon from his petite wife. Qiu Zhihe placed her slender hand on the wall, coldly saying:

"Qin Gengyun, from now on, you’re not allowed to play hero, you’re not allowed to defy me, you’re not allowed to... Ah?!"

Qiu Zhihe let out a startled cry as Qin Gengyun picked her up horizontally. She angrily waved her hand to hit him but couldn’t bring herself to do it, so she stopped and let him carry her to the bed.

Qiu Zhihe was a bit flustered: "Husband, we just... just..."

She had just injected Li Fire into Qin Gengyun and assisted in the fusion of Li Fire with her own body, which was truly exhausting. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Qin Gengyun take on Cheng Qingyu.

Seeing Qin Gengyun seemingly gearing up for another round, she felt weak at the knees.

She definitely couldn’t handle it if it happened again.

In her fluster, she noticed that she had been gently placed on the bed, but Qin Gengyun didn’t do anything further. Instead, he sat by the bed and softly said:

"My dear, you’re too tired, have some rest."

Qiu Zhihe gazed at him blankly and grabbed his arm.

"Husband, stay with me."

Qin Gengyun smiled: "You’re afraid I’ll sneak out, aren’t you? Fine, I’ll stay with you."

He lay down on the bed, pulling Qiu Zhihe’s soft body into his embrace:

"My dear, sleep now, I’m here."

"You’re not allowed to leave."

"Okay."

Qiu Zhihe nestled softly against his chest, closed her eyes wearily, and fell into a deep sleep.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who had been ignored since the two entered, lay on the floor, pulling the quilt over her face, leaving only her incredulous eyes uncovered.

"Coo coo?"
