Chapter 504: Chapter 164: The Demon Embryo Stirs Up Trouble

"Senior Brother He, good morning!"

"Wow, it’s Senior Brother He!"

"Senior Brother He, you look so handsome today!"

When Qin Gengyun returned to the Divinity Transformation Peak, many disciples had already gotten up and left their quarters. Seeing him, this newly risen steward disciple, they greeted him warmly, with many female disciples looking infatuated, eager to touch his strong muscles.

However, today Qin Gengyun appeared somewhat dazed, walking forward with a face full of confusion, causing many disciples to exchange puzzled glances.

What’s up with Senior Brother He?

Qin Gengyun returned to his quarters and slowly sat down, letting out a long sigh after a while.

He thought reaching the third-layer of the Golden Core Realm so quickly was impressive and sufficient to protect his wife, hoping she’d reveal all her secrets to him.

Unexpectedly, his wife had already reached the eighth-layer of the Golden Core Realm!

They were clearly a couple practicing dual cultivation together, so why was there such a disparity?

Qin Gengyun had intentionally shown his rapid progress in cultivation in front of his wife, trying to tell her he was strong enough to bear her secrets.

In response, she had immediately given him a harsh reality check.

It was also a kind of answer indicating that, despite her high cultivation, she still needed to hide her identity and infiltrate the Zhenyang Sect as an ordinary disciple.

Yet here he was, overconfident in his meager talent and cultivation, foolishly thinking he could protect her and force her to reveal her secrets.

It was laughable!

Qin Gengyun clenched his fists, feeling unwilling to accept this.

In fact, he understood that his wife showed her true cultivation not to discourage him, but to protect him, letting him know to stay away from danger.

But, wife, you underestimate me too much.

You married me when I was at my lowest, without regrets, helping me in cultivation.

How could I leave you?

The only plan now is to work harder in cultivation, to quickly catch up to his wife’s realm, and be qualified to stand with her, sharing all her secrets.

Thinking of this, Qin Gengyun took out ten pieces of Spirit Marrow, placed them in front of him, closed his eyes, and resumed his cultivation.

As a steward disciple, he could receive a substantial amount of cultivation resources every month, so he could afford the Spirit Marrow. However, it didn’t grow as quickly as when practicing with Liu Su and Yun Wu.

"Senior Sister Ye!"

"Senior Sister Ye?!"

At this time, surprised voices of many disciples could be heard outside.

Afterwards, there was a gentle knock on the door. Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, sighed helplessly, went to open the door, and as expected, saw Jian Yue standing at the entrance.

She wore a moon white flowing immortal skirt, her hair cascading like a waterfall, adorned with a floating cloud jade hairpin, lightly made up, looking like a fairy descending from the heavens under the glow of dawn.

Many nearby disciples were stunned; they were surprised that the senior sister from Xiyue Peak would come to find a steward disciple at the Divinity Transformation Peak.

Moreover, she seemed to have dressed up specially.

"I’ve heard that Senior Sister has a fondness for Senior Brother He. I thought it was just a rumor, but it’s true!"

"Senior Sister is so beautiful!"

"Wow, Senior Sister went inside! She really went inside!"

Amidst countless shocked and envious gazes, the ice-cold Senior Sister Ye Xiyue gracefully walked into He Zhiqiu’s room. As the door closed, the seemingly cold Senior Sister immediately giggled and snuggled up to the man’s arm.

"Master, do I look pretty?"

Qin Gengyun pushed her away, frowned, and said, "Why are you here? To be seen by so many people is really inappropriate."

Jian Yue sidled up again, coquettishly said, "The Senior Sister from Xiyue Peak is infatuated with a junior from the Divinity Transformation Peak, secretly pregnant, only to be abandoned. Isn’t that an exciting plot, Master? Don’t you like it?"

Qin Gengyun kicked her in the stomach, causing this wretch to fall onto the floor, sprawling in all directions, and coldly said:

"This is Ye Xiyue’s body, you defile it wantonly. Once you get the Cloning Technique from the Cyan Lotus Sect, you leave her, and let Ye Xiyue’s reputation be ruined. It’s best if she dies, and you’ll be carefree. Isn’t that your plan?"

Jian Yue lay on the ground, her body twisting, producing a sultry moan:

"Master understands me. I know you want to improve your cultivation quickly, to protect the First Wife. I have a way. Would you like to hear it?"

Qin Gengyun looked at her coldly as Jian Yue stood up, speaking in a coquettish tone:

"I’m a genuine Innate Top-grade Spirit Root. If Master deflowers me and absorbs my Innate Spiritual Qi, your cultivation will naturally increase rapidly. It won’t be long before you catch up with the First Wife!"

She swayed her hips and walked over to Qin Gengyun, her eyes filled with flirtation:

"As for me, I only need Master to whisper a few words to the First Wife, asking her to give me the Cloning Technique of the Cyan Lotus Sect."

"Once I separate from Ye Xiyue’s body, I’ll help you suppress Ye Xiyue. Maybe by then, Ye Xiyue will already be carrying Master’s child."

"Wouldn’t it be wonderful for Master to have both fairies, Ye and me?"

Qin Gengyun said calmly: "My wife is just an unappreciated elder of the Cyan Lotus Sect. How could she have such advanced techniques?"

Jian Yue’s eyes glimmered like water: "Master, why not just see if the First Wife has it? And oh, I get it, Master must think I’ll go back on my word, right? Then have me now, Master!"

Ouch!

As Jian Yue lunged forward, she was slapped back by Qin Gengyun. Her face bore a swollen handprint as Qin Gengyun coldly said:

"If you try to drive a wedge between me and my wife again, wait for the Soul-devouring Pill to act, and die in pain next time!"

Jian Yue, holding her face, glancing with her eyes sparkling, suddenly started chuckling: "Master is so heartless. I guess I’ll just have to keep playing games with you, then."

After saying that, she covered her face, put on a look of deep sorrow, pushed open the door, and ran out.

Outside, many disciples of the Divinity Transformation Peak were curiously peeking over. Suddenly seeing the aloof, fairy-like Senior Sister with a face covered, running out as if she’d been crying, they were all dumbfounded.

"My god, what did I just see?"

"Did Senior Sister get bullied by Junior Brother He?!"

"Impossible! If Senior Sister is unwilling, who can bully her?"

"I think she offered herself to Junior Brother He and was rejected, wasn’t she?"

"Damn! That’s the goddess of my heart! I don’t believe it, ahhh!"

Qin Gengyun was also stunned, not expecting Jian Yue to completely disregard Ye Xiyue’s demeanor and perform such a scene in public.

What is this Demon Embryo up to?

Qin Gengyun frowned. If Jian Yue kept acting out, he probably couldn’t keep her around.

Just then, Chen Danfeng arrived, a stern expression on her face as she said to Qin Gengyun:

"Junior Brother He, the senior brother has ordered that you and I descend the mountain with the Commanding Disciple tomorrow. This trip is secret; remember to keep it confidential!"

"Yes!"

Qin Gengyun cupped his hands.

It’s coming!

This trip should be to secretly investigate the cause of death of Shi and Wei in the South Demon Lands.

Except for a few Peak Masters, probably no one knows about this.

The South Demon Lands, the place where his wife grew up.

Will he uncover the secrets there that his wife doesn’t want him to know?
